THE MOUSE IN THE PIANO..
1t Ran Out mt the sound of Classical
Music, But Not for Two-Steps.

Speaking of MICE" said Mr. Bifle-
by, according to the New York Sun, "a
friend of mine that owns an old-fash-
toned piano tells me that when it was
being played upon the other day n
mouse ran out of it and scampered
around on the top and then ran down q
curtain whose folds touch the piano at
one end. The mouse has done this
twice In a single day.
Search was made in the interior Of
the instrument for a mouse's nest, but
none was found. Perhaps the mouse
had only just selected this place and
had not yet begun building when it was
first attracted by the sound Of the
strings. However that may be, 1t still
comes back, and IL comes out and runs
away only when classical music is
played, and not for two-steps and that
sort of thing.
"As to the accuracy Of these facts
there can, of course, be no doubt. The
only question. in my own mind is as to
whether the mouse's failure to come
out when the two-steps and so on are
played really indicates preference. for
the lighter forms Of music, or that
er-r-the mouse isn't there"

sIeight of Hand for the Pastor.

Many years ago. when Hon. Joseph
Marsden lived in Hawaii. he attended
church on Sunday morning in Hilo.
Mr.. Marsden was then noted for his skill
in legerdemain. When DR.. - passed
around the contribution bag at Sun
day service Mr.. Marsden held up n
ten-dollar gold piece between his thumb
and forefinger SO that DR.. - could
plainly see it. He then placed his hand
over the bag, palmed the gold piece,
and dropped in a silver quarter. DIR.
- returned to the table with his col
lection. After the service he emptied
the bag on a table, but could not find
the ten-dolar gold piece. He shook the
bag repeatedly, turned over the small
pile OF contributions, got down on the
floor and looked under the table, walked
down the aisle. looking closely at the
cracks in the floor, felt in his own
pockets, fearing that he had made some
mistake, and then went home wonder
ing at the strange loss of the gold piece.
Some time afterward the deceiver quiet
ly sent the gold piece TO the church

A SENSIBLE HEIR.
He Was Anxious TO Keep Faith In
Spite of Money.

A pretty story is told of young
clerk In dry goods store who has re-
Gently come into possession of large
fortune through the favor of an old
gentleman distantly related to him,
says the Youths Companion.
The young fellow listened with
amazement to the news impaired TO
him by his employer and the old gen.
tleman's executor one afternoon.
IL suppose l must not expect your
services as clerk any longer" said the
dry goods merchant, with a smile. Il
shall be sorry To lose YOU"
"Oh, shall stay my month out, of
course, sir" said the boy promptly. II
shouldn't want to break my word just
because I've had some money left me-"
The two older men exchanged
chances. The money referred to was
nearly 100000.
We'll" said the lawyer, strolling his
mouth to conceal his expression, Il
should like an hour Of your time be-
tween ten and four tomorrow, my
young friend, as it will be necessary for
you to read and sign some papers,
Yes, sir" said the clerk. II always
take my lunch at quarter before ~
III take that hour for you instead to-
morrow. If | eat n good breakfast, l
can get along all right till six o'clock"
The two men again exchanged
chances, but neither said q word to
spoil the boys Inconsistencies that he
was taking his good fortune in an un-
usual way.
WELL" said the lawyer, when the
door had closed on the modest heir to
thousands, "all can say is, if that boy
ever uses his money 20 anybody's disad-
vantage, l miss my guess And the
year that has elapsed since then has
gone to prove the truth of his words.

HIS BIG MARRIAGE FEE.
bridegroom Loses His Chewing To-
bacco and the Preacher Profits.

The ministerial story teller was spin
ming another yarn about his expert
ences at other peoples weddings, says
the Marquette (Mich.) Mining Journal.
II think the largest fee ever received, y
he said, resulted from my receiving
the strangest one. My services were
secured TO perform the ceremony for
a young couple out Of the wealthiest
families Of my parish. 1t was a church
wedding and very swell affair indeed.
At the conclusion OF the ceremony the
groom handed me a small envelope
which | supposed contained my fee.
Of course. did not open it until got
home. Imagine my surprise when
found, not money, but liberal chew of
fine-cut tobacco. My good sense told
me that it was not intended as an in
suit, so l awaited developments.
"A fortnight later, when the newly
married couple had returned from their
wedding tour, the groom called on me,
offered most profuse apologies and
made explanations. It seems that he
was addicted to the use of tobacco and
had placed little in an envelope for
his needs right after the ceremony. He
had placed my fee in similar envelope
and in the confusion of the ceremony
and the hasty start on his journey had
mixed the two. By way of PREPARATION
he then placed in my hand another en-
velOpe containing $780,"

BLOODHOuNDs OF THE SOUTH.
Formerly Used To Catch slaves. Lat
terIy to Pursue Criminals.

The bloodhound is now used only in
the pursuit of criminals. Every south
ern penitentiary has brace or more
of them. They are not infrequently a
part of the sheriff's outfit. The breed
is not always pure, but the dogs serve
their purpose better than fairly well.
Their keenness of scent is one of the
most remarkable things in nature,
though it is of value chiefly in the more
thinly-settled region. 1t seems incred-
ible that the mere temporary pressure
of a mans boot or shoe upon the ground
should leave traceable scent for "a
hours, provided that there has been no
rain, but there is no doubt that it does.
Sometimes in the south a murderer
breaks Jail. Until the universal intro
duction of chilled steel cages this was
not difficult matter. Dogs are tele-
graphed for at a distance probably of
$50 miles. They arrive day after the
escape. They are led in leash to the
point where the criminal is supposed TO
have made his exit and uncoupled.
They take up the scent instantly and
follow 1t rapidly. The man must have
crossed much water or confused his
trail with the hurrying footsteps of
dozens of others to throw him off.
Always supposing that "a hours is
the extreme limit Of claw" allowed the
fugitive, the bloodhounds are the best
means of effecting his capture. Having
far to travel, they do not bay. They
have no breath to waste.

Rabbit. Not "Rarebit.O

Those who have accepted the incon-
sistant name of Welsh rabbit for toasted
cheese on the assumption that 1t was q
corruption of Welsh "rarebit," will have
to revise their view. According to a
writer In MacMillan's Magazine, welsh
rabbit is genuine slang term, belong
ing to large group which describe in
the same humorous way the special dish
or product of q peculiar district. For
example: An Essex lion is calfa a
Fieldane duck is baked sleeps head
Glasgow magistrates, or Norfolk
capons, are red herring; Irish apricots
or Munster plums are potatoes; Grave
send sweetmeats are shrimps."
