The Driver.

A bishops coachman must not swear,
especially when he is on the box and
the bishop inside. says the Pail Mall
Gazette. There is a certain place in
Spain called Corrales and it is in the
province ard diocese of Zamora, and
the bishop of Zamora recently went in
his coach and four (but they were
mules) to hold a confirmation at Cor
rales. When the children of the diocese
were duly confirmed the mules, being
confirmed already in stubbornDess and
original sin, refused to start and backed
the carriage. with the bishop inside it,
against the churchyard gate, thereby
making a breach in the sanctuary Of
the churchyard wall. At this point the
coachman is reported to have uttered
one of those thunderous Spanish curses
in which the language of Spain is so
infinitely superior to the language ot
France, and which even bishop must
feel has the dignity of power. Unfor'
tunately for himself the mayor of Cor.
rales, Sig. Tome, had just taken leave
OF the bishop and was standing by the
carriage when the word reached him
He sprang forward and fined the coach'
man four pesetas on the spot for bias
phemy and proclamation, for in Spain
the mayor carries the court with him
wherever he goes. The bishop also sol
out and dismissed the blasphemer OF
the spot; then the mayor got on the
box and himself drove monsiegneur
back to his episcopal residence. The
confirmation has ever since been known
by a title which may be freely trans
lated the blue blazes confirmation o.

Cuban Insurgents Hopeful.

Tampa, Fla, June 12-Colonel Nunez
Is here in company with Senior F. Car
cia, a resident of Havana, who was
forced to flee from that city.
Colonel Nunez said that the concen-
trados, who are gathered in large num-
bers In all the fortified cities and towns
under Spanish rule are suffering ter
ribly for want Of food, medicine, cloth
ing and attention and that they are
dying like sheep from yellow fever,
smallpox and other contagious diseases.
Senior Garcia especially referred to
San Antonio de los Banos, in Havana
province, where concentrates are in
greatest numbers and where conse-
quently the greatest suffering exists
from General Weyler's inhuman edicts,
which seem to have been issued and
rigldly enforced for no other purpose
than to assist in the determination OF
paclhcos.
He says that the patriots are steadily
gaining ground and that they are all
we'll armed, we'll clothed and we'll fed
and have no fears as to the final re-
suit. They are confident that the
United States will soon take definite
action in relation to granting Cubar
patriots belligerent rights.

Daughters Of wealthy men who fall
in love with their fathers employees are
not entirely restricted TO novels. There
is n Chicago merchant whose conf
Dental man has for some time been n
suitor for his daughters hand. There
is another departure from tradition in
the fact that his love affair is not as
violently opposed as It might be. He is
a thoroughly capable and upright fell
low and his prospective father-in-law
probably doesn't see why he wouldn't
do just as well as a club man or perhaps
a nobleman for his daughters husband.
OF course, the two lovers like to be as
much as possible IN each others com
pany, and try all sorts OF little schemes
and inventions to bring this happy state
of affairs about.
The other evening when the young
man, whose familiar name is Tom, called
at the home of his fiancee, she was per-
fectly radiant.
"Oh, Tom, have just the best piece
of news to tell you," she said to him.

The Bagleys have a small boy and

and that his most irrelevant questions

answered as those of grown-up people,

At least, that was their theory up
to last week, when they had company
to dinner, and a storytelling contest
afterward in which young Master Bag

allowed to participate.
Bagley senior opened the conversa-
tional bout by remarlSing in that slight
" vague style of his that the narrowest
escape he ever had from being instantly
killed had happened a year or, two
previous. His audience listened eager
ly. for he is a good story-teller, but
unfortunately he saw the interest which
he had aroused reflected in the shining
eyes of Bagley, Jr., and he broke off to
say:
"You couldn't guess, now, could you

"Yethir, I can" answered Johnnie

Cartridge i'm a Tobacco Pipe.

A fatal accident of an extraordinary
character has occurred at Nantes, near
Paris. A hotel proprietor, who formed
one of a party of sportsmen, had his
tobacco loose in pocket of his hunting
jacket, and in the same pocket had
placed his cartridges. In some way the
powder escaped from a cartridge and
got mixed with the tobacco. Uncon-
seious of this. he filed his pipe and lit it.
A moment later the pipe exploded and
a fragment was blown into his eye with
such force that it pierced the brain and
killed the poor man.

HAM AND EGGS.
CHARMING MUSIC.


A man with an eye for the odd went
8n, took seat and was waited upon by
young woman.
"You have music here ?" he asked.
"From eight a. m. until II, and from
four p. IN. to six" she said.
'Why not all day?"
"From about 1880 a. m. TO one p. m. Is
the rush. We have to keep the custom
ers moving. If we had music then The
customers at the tables would linger
and we wouldn't do as much business"
"Your sign indicates that music is
furnished with ham and eggs only. I'll
should order bean soup would get any
music with it?"
The young woman became confused,
but the customer assured her that he
was not trying TO be funny.
Does it make any difference how the
eggs are ordered?" he asked, 'as to the
music that is furnished? / know that
when you speak of ham and eggs you
think of the eggs In that state which is
described as turned over or sunny side
up But in my own case i should not
want them that way. want my eggs

"Well, what is the music which you
furnish-it makes no difference to me. |
like even a jew's-harp."
"Do you want ham with your hard
boiled eggs?" she asked, evading the
customers query.
THAT is what 1 wish to know. Your
sign conveys the information that your
ham and eggs and music go together. II

"The music plays just the same, nj

Orleans Levee.


Orleans Levee.
The high wind that prevailed did con-
siderable damage to the levees along
the Algiers shore, says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat of late date. The
wind after sunset blew especially hard
against that side of the river. The
waves were blown over the revetmenA
and in some places did much damage to
the earthwork. The guards were very
active. They reported promptly all
washings, and where the occasion de-
manded 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 had been trouble there for some
days with seepage, and a force of men
had been employed closing the crew
ices and cracks through which the wa
ter percolated. There was an unusual
quantity at one place one night, and
the foreman of the gang, going over to
the spot the other morning to ascertain
the reason, announced the hole had
been caused by an alligator, which had
burrowed through from under the
wharf. His trail could be plainly seer
in the mud, and the workmen, in speak
ing of it to Sergt. Cologne, command
ing the Algiers station, said that thel
