Killing a Fashion.

At the garrison town of Maria-Theresia-
nopel in Hungary the ladies have been get
ting into the habit of taking with them to
the theater plush bags of various sizes and
colors, in which they kept all their para
phernalia, such as opera glasses, sweets.
handkerchiefs, smelling bottles, etc The
sight of q row OF these receptacles dangln 4
over the ledge of the dress circle and boXet
was, to say the least, peculiar, while tie,
incessant manipulation of these ornamental
appendages by their fair owners had the
effect of diyerting the attention of the au.
dience from the proceedings on the stage.

usual size, which they slung over the ledge
in imitation of the ladies. The joke created
no little amusement, and roars of laughter
shook the house when the officers produced
from their bags opera glasses, monocles,
sweets, handkerchiefs and here and there a
tobacco pouch or a snuffbox. Since then

HAPPENED BEFORE HE CAME.
why the Small Boy Couldn't Answer a
Bible Query.


A small youth out in Kenwood has come
to think his native state does not amount
to much. Some time last year his family
removed from st. Joseph, Mo-, to Chicago
and took up residence within the fashion
able district of Kenwood The younger
son of the family is IA lad about years old,
and few days ago the whole Sabbath
school which this youth attends was be-
ing questioned by the superintendent upon
the lesson of the day. This little fellow
has an unusually bright and interesting
face, and as his class was seated directly
in front of the superintendent he was nat
urally attracted to him. The lesson was
of Moses and how the Red sea had sepa-
rated and permitted him to lead his hosts
through the divided water.
When the superintendent had finished
relating the story, he concluded to see how
much his youthful listeners had taken in.
"Who was 1t, children" he questioned,
"that led the Israelites into the promised
landY"
With the usual timidity of children
about speaking out in meeting" none of
them replied The boys looked at each
other and giggled, but none offered any re-
Spouse.
"Now, know you'all know his name, "
said the superintendent in Il patronizing
tone. "Just think n moment and tell me.

LIKE THE HUMAN HAND

Mr.. j. w. Bergstrom is now ready to
entertain his friends with his self
playing piano." The electrical attach
ment. by which the instrument is
made to play itself, has been referred
to in these columns before. Never be-
fore. however, has the invention been
seen in the Hawaiian Islands and
short description of it will prove of in
terest and valuable as information.
The attachment consists of stor-
age battery. perforated music and n
roller of machinery which sets in the
piano beneath the keyboard y series
of segments. corresponding to the
number of keys on the instrument,
are held suspended over rapidly re-
volving roller just above the position
of the treadles. These segments are
carried over at the proper times and

The attachment renders any compo-

of trained. human hand. Thus Mr.,
Bergstrom's self-player gives "A simple
ballad, Strauss waltz or Lizst
rhapsody unsteady perfect both as to
expression and tempo. So far as good
judges who have heard it can see. the
effect is not distinguishabe from that
of the human touch.
The storage battery with the attach.

said to last a month if used on an av.

works as well as it has started out.

THE COID W1VE.


 The cold wave reached it's highest point yesterday morning at o'clock when the thermometer marked fourteen degrees. At 8 o'clock it had risen only two-tenths of point. Observer Myers said that the cold wave would continue until this morning, and probably long CT. During the last four days the mer- cury has been continually below freez- ing.
 Observer Myers received a report from Washington at 10:90 o'clock yes terday morning stating that the West Indian storm, central off the capes had gone out to sea, and would not strike the New England coast This storm is the one which covered the Carolinas and Virginia with snow. It was yesterday morning believed to be off Nantucket, and rapidly going out to sea- It is expected that the gradual rise of temperature west of the Missis- sippi river will extend to this section of the country by Saturday.

WORRIED THE ENGINEER.

Last Monday ali engineer on the Val ley road saw a white pigeon on the track below Maromas, and as the bird remained until the train was almost upon it the alarm whistle was blown. The bird escaped being struck and flew down the track, keeping nearly abreast of the engine until Arnold's station was reached. On the return trip the bird appeared again near the same place, and followed the train north for nearly two miles. Tuesday morning the bird went through the same performance, much to the discomfort of the engineer, as he is inclined to think it is an omen of approaching ill luck.

Small of Stature and Always Wears a
 Sunny Smile.
 Horace Johnson has handed in his prophecy for an unusually hard winter, which is not very encouraging. While few men are better known by newspa- per readers, MT Johnson personally has not much acquaintance outside of his own county. No doubt many have wondered what description of a man he could be to prophecy such disagreeable things.
 Now Horace is small of stature and always wears 8 sunny smile. If he would only prophecy weather in keep ing with his genial smiles and graceful carriage, what a winter we would have, with asparagus tips and pansy blos- soms to cheer us, instead of bowling blizzards and snow drifts. Any change in his prognostications will be duly ap- preciated.

YALE OBSERVATORY.

And the November Meteoric Showers.
 A report sent out from the Yale ob- servatory says: While efforts to phot- ograph the November meteor showers with the equatorially pointed set of cameras have not been especially sue cessful, observations on certain nights show that the meteors were sufficiently frequent to indicate the existence of the showers. Last August, however, the camera battery was used with more ef- feet. A considerable number of photo graphs of meteors were obtained, one of them revealing the famous Louis meteor, which was taken several years ago. One of the photographs is espe- cially interesting, showing the bursting of q meteor; another the scintillations almost in it's path.

A few seconds later they discovered a good-sized wildcat.

WAS BUILT AT HADLYME.

Three -nlaslted schooner Frank O. Dame of 6SS tons, built at Hadlyme, Conn, in 1882, Is floating about one hundred miles from Hatteras Shoal, Waterlogged and abandoned. She was passed November P, by the steamer Fl Norte. Her mast, bowspirt and jib- boom were intact, anchors, forecastle deck and after-house apparently in 8 good condition, bulwarks and forward house washed away. only the frames standing. She was washed by the sea anidships when side to and is a very dangerous obstruction to navigation, as she lies in the track of south-bound steamers. The crew were rescued. The vessel is in the gulf stream and has only drifted twenty seven miles east in forty two days, and is probably held against the current by the force of the north and east winds on spars. The captain of the steamer says that it would justi- fly 8 tug boat company to send a boat out from the Chesapeake and tow her in, as she is a fine vessel.
