The Last Straw.

Henry Van Meter, who died in Ban
gor about % years ago at the advanced
age of ITO, was genuine old Virginia
darby who drifted down east in some
mysterious way in the early part of this
century.
He imagined himself charged with
inspiration from various spirits and
was in reality unbalanced in his mind
for the greater part of the time, ON ac-
count Of the superstitious beliefs which
possessed him.
At one time he was summoned to
court as witness in certain case, and
the counsel on each side badgered him
with questions until his wits became so
entangled that his answers grew quite
wild and preposterous Noticing the
distress and confusion Of the poor old
witness, the judge. who was most
kind hearted man, hushed the lawyers
and put simple question to the bewil-
dered darky, with the intention of bring
ing him back to the starting point.
This third assault, for so Van Meter
regarded the kindly judges interposi-
tion, proved the last straw to the old
darky.
"Now, look a-heah. yo' ole gray haired
gemman up on de bench dar, ;" he broke
out, shaking trembling fore6nger at
the Judge, ''don' yo' interfere wild dis
: yer bus ness at all. Dis chile's got jess
as much as he can do to take care OBJ

a storr OF Monte Carlo.

In the good old days Of M. Blanc it
was the custom, so the story goes, di-
rectly suicide was found to stuff his
pockets full of bank notes. This was
done to prove that his losses at play
were not the cause of his hurried de-
parture from the shores of time. The
last person who received this generous
treatment was, believe, an American.
He was found lying in one of the quiet
alleys of the beautiful grounds, with an
empty bottle labeled Poison" by his
side. The secret agents of the bold
Blanc instantly stuffed his pockets full
of gold and notes, preparatory to giving
information to the police. No sooner
had they filed him as full of lucre as
he could hold than the suicide leaped to
his feet, raised his hat, exclaimed,
"Thank you very muchl" and went off
to enjoy himself with his newly acquired
wealth. &c. r. Sims in "Dagonet's

The MT Diet.

1t is evident by many straws noticed
in general reading Of periodical and
newspaper literature that the next fad
of the dietists is to be nuts. All the
scientific cooking and health food au-
thorities are urging with increasing per-
sistence the value of this natural food
and giving receipts for various nut
flours, from which different varieties Of
bread cake may be made that are nutri-
tious and of medicinal value in certain
ailments. And now we learn that miss

man who lost spendid contralto voice

4 eooa Natured Rmperor.

1t was a few evenings before the en-
peror's departure for the Franco-Aus-
trian war. General de Cote was on
duty at the time. and after dinner went
down to the smoking room set apart for
the military and civil household. The
thing is settled, he said aloud, light
ing cigarette. "In day or two we
shall be on our way to Italy, unless
Providence and the lunacy commission
ers stop as at the first stage at Charen-
ton. (Charenton is the Paris mad
house. Half an hour later the general
went up stairs TO the empress drawing
room. He had scarcely entered the
apartment when the emperor came up
TO him with a smile. Ny dear gener-
all he remarked quietly, 4 have too
much respect for the opinion Of others,
even when they are Numerically OPP
posed to mine, to ask people TO fight
battles the causes for which they do
not approve You viii remain in Paris
with the empress.
That did not suit the generals book
at all, but he did not utter a word in
defense He only bowed. He was, in
fact, too astonished at his comment
having reached the ears of the emperor
so soon As far as he was aware, no
servant had entered the room while he
was there. He was then reluctantly
compelled to conclude that an equal
had played the part of telltale, and that
alone would convey fair idea Of the
code of honor that obtains among the
immediate encourage of the sovereigns.
Nevertheless he was not going to be
left ont of the fighting, so on the l4th
of May he simply had his horse and
baggage taken TO the imperial train, Sc
lected seat in an empty compartment
and only showed his face at Marseilles.
The emperor merely smiled and held
out his hand. This is sample of the
emperors amiability, Of his willing
ness to let bygones be bygones. North

Detroit's Curious and Hazardous But Sac
cessful Scheme.
With theclose of navigationo on the great
lakes last fall there came to an end an
experiment by the postal authorities
of extending the free-deliyery system
OF Detroit to the river on which that
rity is situated. The experiment con-
sisted of delivering 10 and receiving
from vessels Matchmaker while the
vessels were going at full speed. The
scheme was in operation during the en-
tire season, and was an unqualified sue
cess. For the first month only 90 let
ters were delivered TO passing ships,
but before the close of navigation the
mail delivery amounted TO an average
of 500 pieces of Matchmaker a day. tits
the only delivery service of the kind in
the world.
The plan adopted was to make use OF

rectly in front of a passing vessel and
left it there. Then came a fine exhibit

of the oars placed the little boat under
the flank of one of the bows of the

the steamer then gave the rowboat
sharp thrust-to one side, and as soon rs
the little craft had ridden the foaming
wave the carrier rose in his seat and
tossed light line to the deck of the
vessel, and then resumed his seat. The
line was made fast, and soon the hiss
