A Serf's FOrethOuxht.

Count Scheremetef, an immensely
wealthy and powerful Russian noble
who lived in the early part of this CEN
fury, had among his serfs man named
Schalouchine, who had amassed an
enormous fortune. He had offered as
much as $250,000 for his freedom, but
in vain. One day Scheremetef gave a
dinner party, and to his disgust there
were no oysters to begin the banquet
with. "They were not to be had at any
price, replied the steward. At that
moment Schalouchine was ushered in
among the guests, and Scheremetef
bullied him as usual. "Your freedom"
he yelled, you cannot have it if you Of

pshaw! a few dozen oysters would be
worth more than that to me at this mo-

lord, that you would grant me my free

had brought barrel of oysters, having
heard OF the dinner. The deed of free

chine took his place among the guests,

The Announcement as Conveyed by
Mrs. Lion to Her Spouse.
I happened to be standing in front C:
a lions cage the other day, about four
o'clock. Mr.. Lion was sound asleep in
corner, his countenance expressive
of happy repose, while one huge paw
was supporting the tawny head, that
seemed as innocent as lambs. He
looked amazingly like one of the seven
sleepers. Opposite was Mrs. Lion, step
ping about like huge pussy cat, now
glancing at her sleeping lord, then
whisking her tail impatiently, but with
wifely consideration not doing thing
that could disturb his siesta. Back and
forth she marched, and it seemed as ii
her rhythmic tread was a sort of saw
age lullaby, for the beast in the corner
scarcely breatned under its spell. Sud-
denly she stopped beside him, her nose
only few inches from his ear, but her
cleaning eyes were turned far away.
1t was only a second, but her sleeping
companion lifted his head, and peered
in the same direction; then he bounded
to his feet. All was changed. The king
OF beasts was every inch king. With
quivering nostrils and head erect he
gazed with all his eager might. What
| was it? What had she told him? And
then the two danced that figure Of a
quadrille, the familiar partners, cross

THE cARNIvORoUs MAID,
Missouri Girl Who Must Eat Raw
Me0t.

A young woman in the north part of
the city was told ten years ago that
she had consumption, and that unless
she went to another climate she would
not live many years. Her parents were
unable to send her to another climate,
andanotherphysician, about that time,
advised her to eat raw meat in the hope
of prolonging her life. In less than
three years she was in apparent good
health. The eating of raw meat has ef-
fected cure.
When once it has been formed, the
raw meat habit Is as bad as any other,
and when the young woman had re-
gained her health she found that she
was still addicted to the eating of raw
meat. She still has the habit. AS long
as she lived at home with her parents,
she could eat the uncooked food as
often as she pleased. Her parents
moved away few months ago, and
the daughter went to board with some
friends in another part of the city.
They did not know that she was ad-
dicted to the eating of raw meat.
Every now and then her appetite
overcame her, and she longed for a rare
beefsteak. The desire for it became sc
strong that she would go into the
kitchen and pinch off pieces of the
beefsteak that had been purchased fol
the next meal. The woman with whom
she boarded began to complain of mice
She said they had never been in the
kitchen before, and began to wonder
how they got in. At last she bought
trap, and, placing the beefsteak or
high shelf, out of their reach, she
bated the trap and set it.
The trap never caught mouse, and
the beefsteak was nibbled nearly every
night. 1t was thrown away the next
morning, because the woman said she
would not cook meat after mice had
eaten from it. She wondered how the
mice could get upon the shelf, and why
they never attempted to eat the steak
with which the trap was baited.
At last the girl heard of the mystery
in the kitchen and confessed. She ad
mitted everything, and now she has
all the beefsteak she can eat, and the
mice are never suspected.-St. JOSEPH
