"A PrOcrical Joker,

The Duke of Orleans, that royal scape-
grace who claims the French throne, is
confirmed practical joker, albert his
jokes are usually lacking In humor. 1t
was his penchant for that sort of thing
which led to his leaving the British
army, where he was trying to learn to be
a soldier, in preparation for the great
day when a blow is Ca be struck for the
restoration of the monarchy In France.
Says the Marquis de Fontenoy: He
played no end of senseIesS tricks while
stationed at Aldershot, was most insub-
ordinate as regarded discipline, was for
ever taking advantage of the immunity
due to his royal rank TO check his SUI
perior officers and even to make them
the victims of his practical jokes, and
finally was compelled to leave the army
for having cut the ropes anchOring a
captive balloon in which Gen. Sir Bye
Ign Wood and couple of other field Otfl-
sham battle. A strong wind was blow
ing and the balloon was carried into the
air at q great rate, and its occupants
were unable to effect descent until at
distance of some thirty miles from
Aldershot Great embarrassment was
caused among the commanding officers
by their sudden departure from the
scene. Sir Evelyn, who is hot tenn
pered man in spite of his courtly man
ners and soft speech, remembering, no
doubt, the thoroughly gentlemanly be-
havior of the Inflated prince imperial,
who had likewise served under his COM
mand, complained directly not only to
the Duke of Cambridge but also to the
Queen herself, who has never liked the
young duke, and who Immediately re-
sponded to Sir Evelyn's communication
by intimating to the Compile and Com
.tesse de Paris that she could no longer
permit their son to continue his military
training in her army"

"A Goose Story.

Here is Georgia goose story: Two
gentlemen were standing on q street cor
ncr when they were approached by q
man offering for sale two dressed geese.
They decided to purchase, but the deal
err insisted on selling the two fowls to
one man. Accordingly one of them
bought the two and sold again to his
friend.
the goose vender was asked why he
wouldn't sell the fowls separately. Said
he:
''That old goose and gander have been
together thirty years, and [ wouldn't
separate them for any consideration. -

Rice Not Mentioned in t he Bible.

A book before US says: R1ce Is not
mentioned in the Bible, as it did not grow
in the countries in which Bible happen
ings occurred We think the author
is mistaken. The fact that the word
.rice'' does not appear is no evidence of
the non-existence of product that in
the Bible era was feeding the majority
of the worlds people. From the earliest
ages the blanket expression, ''eorn,"
has been used to cover all manner of
grain and seeds used for food. In Eng
land the word now applies to barley,
rye. oats and more especially wheat;
in Scotland it usually means oats, while
here it only refers to maize. The word
"corn' frequently occurs in the Bible,
and when we consider the enormous
commerce of Palestine, particularly in
the days of Solomon, it is natural to sup
pose that rice was among the imports,
and that, like wheat and other grains,
it finds shelter under the market term.

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS
The New Grill

The New Girl.
There was young lady Of Troy,
Whose life was mission of joy,
She was fair as a flower,
Aud grace was her dover,
And to court her was pleasant employ.
But now there's a change taken place.
Rave not DER her maidenly grace,
For true are the rumOrS
Plat she has donned boomers,
Which she wears with no blush on her face
Alas, for the maiden of Troy,
That she should her chances destroy,
For do you suppose
That a man would propose
To girl who looks more like boy!

A state without a Governor.

1t is a curious fact that once every
three years the state of New Jersey is
without a governor for the space of
twelve hours. The state constitution
provides that the term shall commence
on the third Tuesday of January next
ensuing the election for governor by the
people, and lend on the Monday pre-
ceding the third Tuesday of January
night on Monday, January 20, 1896, and
Gov.-elect Griggs will not be inaugu-
rated and take the oath of Office until II
o'clock noon of Tuesday, January 81

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES
True Woman.

To be a sweetness more desired than spring;
A bodily beauty more acceptable
Than the wild rose-trees arch that crowns
the fell;
To be an essence more environing
Than wines drained juice; a music favish-
ing
More than the passionate pulse of Philo-
mel
TIE be all this meath one soft bosom's
swell,
That is the flower Of life. How strange a
How strange a thing to be what Man can
know
But as a sacred secret! Heavens own
screen
Hides her souls purest depth and loveliest
glow;
Closely withheld, as all things most un-
seen

seal of green
That fecks the snowdrop underneath the

"Your wife is very successful on the
lecture platform, Binks'' Yes" "She
is, indeed. She speaks right to the
point. and never seems bit afraid"
s'Glad you think so. I'm responsible for
that" ''Youy HowY' II sit in the

ALUMINIUM AND GOLD.
of the Old and New Met
in ,JewelrY

in Jewelry.
Aluminium, which is daily growing
more popular, used in connection with
gold gives a jewelry which is equal in
appearance to the genuine metal, and has
none of the drawbacks of other imita-
tons or alloys. Collar buttons of gold
aluminium are on the market. They
are made of one piece, no solder being
used, and are of such tensile strength
that they will neither bend nor break
1t takes metal expert to tell the diff
ference between this button and genu-
inc gold ore. 1t is guaranteed not to
by machine and pass through nine differ
ent actions before, being fnished.-New

London's Fur Trade.

London has maintained for many years
pre-eminence in the fur trade. Amer
lean and Russian buyers both visit the
city to buy furs originally taken in their
own respective countries. The sales
amount to about $20,O00,000 year.

Successful Elk Hunt.

William j. Riley, who started out
week since with the avOWed intention of
not coming back until he had killed an
elk, returned with the carcasses of two
elks and two magnificent heads and ant
lers which they had carried, to say moth
ing of number of teeth, which are
the most highly valued of all, as they are
in great demand for making badges for
society elks. From Capt Riley's ac-
count of his trip, it is evident that hunt
ing elk is almost as much fun as play
ing football. He went up the Nasel riv-
err into the heart of the Coast range, and
found band of nine elk and killed the fa-
Their of the flock, which weighed 1900
pounds, being the largest elk he has
ever seen. He then got on the track of
another elk, and followed it. three days
in the rain, and it rained hard. sa He had
a companion, and they carried little
stock of provisions, and at night camped
under a log, or wherever night overlook
them. The elk made a circuit, and
was finally killed within three miles Of a
settlement. The head, horns and meat
were packed out on the shoulders of the
hunters, which was very enjoyable per-
Torrance. The second elk weighed only
800 pounds, but had the finer set Of
antlers, having seven points. The prin-
cipal object of the trip was to try new
fashioned Winchester rifle sent to Capt.
Riley by the manufacturing company.
and of which he is as proud as boy Of
his first pair of red-topped boots. He
brought home the bullet which killed one
of the elk, and which was fattened all
out of shape. It made very small
hole, and then fattened out and ripped
the vitals of the animal all to pieces,
dropping him in his tracks. In addition
to the elk, Capt Riley brought home
a lot of fine trout, caught in the Nasel,
and also some ducks killed there.-Port-
land Oregonian.
Brass Ornament.
The junior member of the old law firm
of Goldsmith, Colston, Hoadley & John
son having used the phrase "a shining
ornament Of the Cincinnati bar" in re-
ferring to some other lawyer, Murat
Halstead seized upon the phrase and
thereafter invariably referred to Mr..
Johnson rs "the brass ornament Of the
Cincinnati bar" At an evening gather
ing Mr.. Halstead saw handsome wom-
an. He begged to be presented, and was
to Mrs. johnson. 1t did not occur to
him who the lady might be. He was
curious about her. johnson, Johnson?"
he repeated; 81 have never had the pleas
son. Do you live in Ohio?' ooh. yes
replied the. lady, Drumming oyer with
smiles: 81 live in Cincinnati" Indeed"
said Mr. Halstead, quite astonished;
''may | inquire OF what family of John
sons you are?" The smiles were more
than merry this time. "Mr. Halstead,"
she replied. s'for fifteen years [ have
been trying to polish up the brass orna-
ment of the Cincinnati bari"

Rarefnoted Maidens.

At Bellmore, l.. l., temperance So
ciety is to give an entertainment for it's
own benefit. The girls of the town are
to exhibit their feet stuck through holes
in a canvas, and the one having the
prettiest foot is to get a prize. If any
of the girls should happen to be identi-
fed merely by her protuding bare foot
won't there be lots of gossip in that
small town?
