Becky and Marcella.

If the author of VANITY Fair" had
treated Miss Rebecca Sharp with some
little generosity in the matter of an
allowance, would she have descended to
such acts as concealing that $1,000
note of Lord Steyne's or becoming "a
valuable attendant during Sickness on
her stout friend Joe Sedley? Are not
her many sins on Thackeray's soul,
since it would have been the easiest
thing in the world to have allowed her
a small stipend?
Potent indeed was money in the phil
anthropies of Mrs. Wards ''Marcella.
Without it could that divine busy
body" as somebody has called Lady
Maxwell, have experimental with the
woes and labors of humanity? We
wonder, however, if in Marcella's case
Mrs. Wards generosity was not little
misplaced. There is reason to think
that it might have been better for Sir
George Tressady, certainly for the COM
fort of relatives and friends, and most
undeniably for Marcella herself, if she
had been forced by poverty, or rather
by moderate means, to spend more time
over her housekeeping. The eternal
presence of things about house which
need reforming might have consumed
some of that tire less energy which even
wore upon that long-suffering figure
head, Lord Maxwell. Money, however,
is a necessary factor in the housekeep-
ing affairs of even heroines; otherwise,
would that charming hostess, Diana of
the Crossways, have turned traitor to
a guest when George Meredith failed
to allow her an income sufficiently
large to meet her household expenses?

their husbands may shoot them away
with rifle balls, of one woman who for
several seasons was in the habit OF
nightly standing against a board screen
While her husband dexterously threw
knives around her until she was pinned
IN so that she could not move from
her position, when the slightest devia-
tion from his wonderful skill would
nave meant that one of the knives
would pierce her flesh and doubtless
kill her.
Chlqulta, in Mexico, used to stand in
the center of the bull-ring and face
tearlessly the maddened animal, which
was induced to charge upon her, her
sole hope of escaping horrible death
depending upon the precision with
which her husband should throw his
never-failing lasso. And yet she died
natural death, for the lariat in her
husbands hands never failed to turn
the bull in time, and it was not an in
frequent occurrence that he was so
drunk when he mounted his horse to
perform the act that he had to be as
sisted in the saddle, There are thou
sands of cases of the kind, and they are
taking place every day right before our
eyes, the strange part of it being that
we do not realize the truth when we
see the several acts performed.
Who, for instance, in viewing the
closing scene of a beautiful parasol
dance at the opening of the third act
In a popular opera pauses to think of
the extraordinary confidence in her
husbands strength and agility which
the woman must possess when she per-
mfts herself to be turned in the air
like an animated cart-wheel, and in a
manner which, if he should make one
miss, would certainly result in broken
limbs, if not fatal accident.
1t is interesting to know how this act
originated. The husband describes it
in his own words, as follows:
Il had been out to dinner party
after the performance one night and
did not go to my room at the hotel
until after in the morning. My wife
was in bed, but she had to get up to
let me in, and we were chatting about
the performance, when suddenly the
idea for the turn wheel popped into my
head. Come here said to her. Stand
with your back to me and stiffen every
joint She didn't ask question, but
stood just as I said, and grabbed her
and gave her the turn just as you have
seen me do it on the stage. She had no
idea of what was going to do until it
was done, but when she landed on her
feet after the fopover she looked dazed
for moment, and then she said:
Don't you do that again, Sam!' But
all the same have done it every night
on the stage since that time, and I re-
gard it as one of the best acts I ever
originated"

IMMATURE LOCOMOTIVE.
Expensive Toy Built for a Mexican Land

Expensive Toy Built for a Mexican Land
Owner.
There has just been completed at
the locomotive works locomotive
and tender that would please the
heart of any boy of a mechanical turn,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. In
every respect the locomotive is a COM
plete one, but it is distinguished from
most Others by it's size-about one
third that of the engine familiar to
travellers. Fernando de Teresa, the
owner OF a large plantation in the SUI
burbs OF the City of Mexico, is the man
for whom the locomotive was built,
and it is his intention to use it on
the plantation tor the amusement of
his friends.
The weight Of the engine and ten
der is $1,000 pounds, and the cylin-
ders are six by ten inches. Only in
size, gauge and details of finish does
the engine differ from the American
standard and in every respect is full
ly equipped with brake lubricators,
etc. The boiler is twenty inches in
diameter.
In regard to finish there is nothing
wanting. All the bright parts are
nickel plated, the wheels and running
gear are painted red and the cab and
tank are Prussian blue. The name
susanna is painted upon the cab and
on the tender is the fanciful name of
the railroad, F. G. Taeubaya. The
gauge is within three-eighths of an
inch of two feet.
special designs are made for this
locomotive, and its building occupied
about two months. Such a length of
time was taken because the owner was
not in a hurry, though similar en-
glnes have been built at the works in
eight days.

THE VALUE OF GOOD TEETH.

But for Them Montana Prospector
Would Have Perished in the Snow.
1t isn't. often that man owes his life
to good set Of teeth and yet to Thorn
,as Robbins of Cooke City belongs that
distinction. Ex-Sheriff J. Henry Jur-
gems, who is managing the Daisy mine,
in letter to his family tells how it all
happened.
Robbins is prospector, and, like all
the men of that section, is hardy
mounta1neer. On the morning of JAM
Il, he left Cooke City for his prospect,
which is located about six miles from
the camp. The snow in the mountains
about Cooke City is unusually deep and
mat means great deal more of it
than most mining camps of consid er-
able elevation in Montana have. Rob-
Dlns' however, was not to be deferred
oy the snow. Swapping on his skis
long Norwegian snowshoes-he set out
and reached the Daisy mine, where he
stopped and ate dinner with ex-Sher-
III Jurgens. After dinner he started on
10 MS property. About a mile from the
Da1sy, west of there, on the divide slop-
' Ing to the Saltwater side near Crown
Folnt, ne was caught in snowslide on
the mountain and carried down a con-
siderable distance. He was alone and
covered with snow for several feet. He
nad heavy pack on his back which,
because OF the weight of the snow upon
MIN, 1nterfered with his movements;
ana, try as he would, he was unable to
make any progress. His arms were
pln1oned, but at last brilliant idea
came to him. He would gnaw through
the rope that held the pack. His teeth
were good, and in time he broke the
rope that held the pack. Then ne was
able to take off the skis and finally,
after much effort, forced his way out
or the slide. 1t was a narrow escape,
indeed. for Robbins.
There are number of such acct
dents in the mountains about Cooke
City every year, but they do not always
result so fortunately as did Robbins
mishap Mr.. Jurgens says that the
men as they plow through the snow on
the side Of mountain cut line that
often causes slide of hundreds of feet.
The line gives chance for the snow
to break and when it does it may carry
the unfortunate man who is respon-
sible for it down with it.

A Queer Lawsuit.

A table groans under a load of viands
at Atchison, Kan. The other day
William Dutch died and was buried.
After the funeral Mrs. Dutch found
among her husbands papers a written
agreement between himself and Fred
Buebner, the undertaken at Netawka,
through which each agreed to pay the
funeral expenses of the one who died
first. Mrs. Dutch had already paid
for the coffin of her husband, but she
sent the bill to Mr.. Buebner. He re-
sponded that he was ready to nay the
wholesale price of the casket, as that
is all it would have cost him if he had
been informed in time to furnish il.
according to agreement. This, it is
said, Mrs. Dutch will refuse and try to
enforce the collection of the full
amount in court.-New York Tribune

A BORING ALLIGATOR,
Said to Have Made Hole in a New
Orleans Levee.

Said to Have Made Hole in New
Orleans Levee.
The high wind that prevailed did
considerable damage to the levees
along the Algiers shore, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat of late date.
The wind after sunset blew especially
hard against that side of the river.
The waves were blown over the re-
vetment, and in some places did much
damage to the earthworks. The guards
were very active. They reported
promptly all washings and where the
occasion demanded it the damage was
promptly repaired.
One of the curiosities of the flood in
this section developed at the Morgan
railroad wharf early one morning.
There has been trouble there for some
days with seepage and a force of men
has been employed closing the crevices
and cracks through which the water
percolated. There was an unusual
quantity at one place Thursday night
and the foreman of the gang, in going
over the spot the other morning to as
certain the reason, announced the
hole had been caused by an alligator,
which had burrowed through from
under the wharf. His trail could be
plainly seen in the mud and the work
men, in speaking of it to Sergt. Co.
logne, commanding the Algiers sta
ton, said that they judged he must
have been at least four feet long.
They think the water covered all the
resting places that he might have had
under the wharf and he decided to
bore hole through the bank and
thus mix his time between dry land
and water.
The strong wind made the water run
through the cracks in the wharf in
large quantities and the nearest track
was submerged. A gang of men was
put to work stopping it with sacks of
dirt and they succeeded in shutting
out the water.

HUMoR FROM OHIO.
A Unique Set of Rules in Buckeye

49,
They were sitting in the lobby at
Murphy's, talking about the striking
peculiarities Of some of the hotels they
nad been up against in the course OF
their travels, says the New York Her
aid.
In the party were a red-headed drum
mer from Arkansas, travelling rail-
road man and spindle-shanked man
who sells oil out of Pittsburg. The
deal got around to the man from Ar
kansas, and what he had to say was
this:
i've had to stand for some queer
rules and regulations in my time, but
the most unique code of rules govern
ing a hotel I ever had sprung on me
was at the Tallewanda hotel, in Coll
eye Corner, o. I remember each one
OF them distinctly to this day. They
were posted in this order: .
Il. Board, $50 per week, meals extra.
49, Breakfast at 5, dinner at 6, sup
per at 7.
"3. Guests are requested not to
speak to the dumb waiter.
"A. Guests willing to get up without
being called can have self-raising -four
for supper.
IS. The hotel is surrounded by
beautiful cemetery. Hearses to hire,
rs cents day.
&c. Guests wishing to do little
driving will find hammer and nails
in the closet.
~. If your room gets too warm open
the window and see the fire escape
"8. If you are fond of athletics and
like good jumping lift the mattress and
see the bed spring.
20. If your lamp goes out take
leather out Of the pillow; that's light
enough for any room.
10. Any one troubled with night
mare will find a halter on the bedpost.
III. Don't pick a quarrel with the
clerk. His brother is the chief Of pol
ice and his father the mayor Of the
town.

bill. The house is supported by it's

A PORTLAND MANS LOSS.

Old guests of Hotel Ormond in Florida
will hear with regret of the burning of
Trappers' Lodge" the old log camp
above the orange grove built and occupied
in the pionerer days of the settlement by
Mr.. John Anderson of A anderson q Price,
managers of the Ormond in Florida and
of the Mount Pleasant House In the
White Mountains. 1t was a picturesque
landmark and will be sorely missed. The
foreman of MIR. Anderson's grove, who
lost all his possessions in fire last win
ter, had stored in this camp what house
hold goods he had accumulated since the
fire, and now again loses all. This man,
William Fagen, or Chilly" as he was
Familiarity called, and who although
originally from Portland, went to Florida
from Gorham seventeen years ago, had
many friends among the guests who will
sympathize with him in his loss. He
was, at the time Of the fire, at the Mount
Pleasant House, where his good work
upon the paths and rails and in opening
the beautiful vistas along the road to the
falls of the Ammonoosuc has left a monu-
ment that will not burn.
