Prussian sfreets.

The German emperor as king of Prus- sia has the sole right to name streets, and he has just refused his consent to the proposal to call two streets after the names of Dr, Bertram and Dr. Langer- haus, two popular members of the mu- nioipal council. His majesty disapproyes of such course during the lifetime of the godfathers. This apparently refers to men of official standing only, whose political opinions might change after the streets had been named, for the Mommsenstrasse in Charlottenburg was recently passed with approval Some new German streets have a tendency to long names.

 and an Escaped Dog.
 4 drawing teacher in the upper re- gians of the borough of Manhattan tells mo of a curious instance of what she calls the crescent freshness of the metro politan youth. Tommy was the most in- corrigible pupil in that particular room, making the half hour spent there daily one of mingled doubt and anguish of spirit to the drawing teacher. The other day Tommy was evidently engaged in some new form of mischief His draw ing pad lay upon the desk before him and his hands were lowering over it, now sweeping down at one side of the paper, now at the other, as if corralling some unwilling ant or other insect seek ing to escape.
 Tommy" said the drawing teacher suddenly and sharply, what are you dolPg:', :, r.........,. ,...... :, ply. Then he added. "Nothin but keep in this ere dawg from runnin away
 "What dog?" queried the drawing teacher. "I see no dog. What do you mean?''
 Course ye don't see no dawg, said Tommy, ceasing his gymnastics under her sharp glance and strengthening up. Yer too far away" The other scholars were all attention by this time, which was precisely what Tommy wanted, and he assumed q look of un- smiling innocence as he continued, 1T drored runnin dawg, not standin still one, an I was a-headin i'm off sol he wouldn t run off tn tablet an git on tn toor
 The other children laughed uproari- ously at this, whereupon Tommy sur veyed them with such an assumption of surprised indignation that their mirth was redoubled. The teacher was now genuinely angry. She was matter of fact young woman to whom normal school methods were both law and gos- pei, and here was 3 fragrant case of downright falsehood that must be ex- posed as an awful example to the entire grade of pupils She walked slowly and firmly down the aisle and picked up Tommy's tablet. The white sheet was unsullied by single mark of any kind.

4 Rebuile by General Washington Tha4
 Evidently Frightened the Owner.
 Major William Pierce left behind him Q partial record of the debates in Philadelphia which supplement those of Madison, Yates and King; also the following aneodote:
 When the convention first opened at Philadelphia, there were number of propositions brought forward as great leading principles for the new govern ment to be established for the United States. \ copy of these prQ2ositions was given to each member, with an injune- tion to keep everything a profound se- oret. One morning, by accident, one of the members dropped his copy of the propositions, which, being luckily pick ed up by General Miflin, was presented to General Washington, our president. who put it in his pocket. After the de- bates of the day were over and the ques- tion for adjournment was called for the general arose from his seat and, preyi- ous to his putting the question, address ed the convention in the following man. ner:
 "Gentlemen, am sorry to find that some one member of this body has been so negleetful of the secrets of the con vention as to drop in the statehouEo a copy of their proceedings, which by ac- cident was picked up and delivered to me this morning.

HE HAD HIM THERE.
How Passenger Got Even With Street
 Car Conductor.

CtAA Ooh1AG1O1s
 He was intent upon his newspaper when the conductor eame along and stopped in frout of him.
 The conductor stopped down to get better look at his face and said, Fare, please,
 The man with the paper paid no at tention, and finally the conductor tap ped him gently on the arm.
 "Did l get your fare" asked the con- duetor as the man with the paper looked up.
 Now, if there is anything in this world that has tendency to make man who has paid his fare get angry it is to have the agent of the corporation to whom such fare was paid come along and ask him if he has paid it. It may be all right, but 1t always seems as if there was an inference that some one is trying to beat the road. Thus it hap pened that the man with the paper re- piled rather sharply:
 You ought to know.
 "Oh, it's all right, sir!'' explained the conductor hastily. "No intention to offend, you know. I merely wanted to make sure. ''
 Then he returned to the platform, while the man with the paper returned to his reading.
 A few minutes later the man with the paper went out on tho platform himself, and just before reaching his corner he gently tapped the conductor on the arm. even as the conductor had tapped him.
 Did you ring up my fare?" be asked.
 There were immediate indications that the conductor was getting mad. He tried to say something, but only spluttered.
 "Oh, it's all rightr' the man with the paper hastened to explain. "No in. tention to offend, you know. I only wanted to make sure.
 Then he swung off the car, and when he reached home his wife detected traces of a faint smile on his face. oe.-PhiladeI- phia Times.

"If the court will consent. we will take up O

It treats not of section, country or race;
It is of no interest to any, be it ladies or lass

Thereupon the judge, hastily sum.

tered up the following order:
"This case coming on this day to be heard
Considered by the court to be quite absurd).
