1t is said that the only time James
q. Blaine was nonplussed was while
he was Secretary of State. One of the
applicants for a consulate in Japan
was the late Samuel Kimberley, of
Baltimore, who died in the service in
Central America. After he had pre-
sented his credentials Mr.. Blaine said:
II should like to appoint you, Mr..
Kimberley, butt have made it a rule
to recommend no one who does not
speak the language of the country to
which he is sent Do you speak Jap
~anese?"
"Cert-t-tihly, Mr.. Blaine" STAN
mered Mr.. Kimberley. "A-a-ask me
s-s-something in J-J-Japanese and I'll
a-a-a-nswer you"
Mr.. Blaine hadn't q word to saw,
but the Japanese post went to another
man, all the same, and Kimberley
went to Central America.
Another story is told of Kimberley
equally creditable to his nimble wit.
One day he met a young woman, who
threw her arms impulsively around
his neck and kissed him. Seeing her
mistake, she drew back and angrlly
asked:
"Aren't you Mr.. Jones?"
"N-n-no, madam" replied Kimber-
ley, bowling; "T'm n-n-not, but I W.
w-wish to thunder I w-w-w-was."-

It is becoming quite customary
here to see young women riding about
in little two-wheeled "trailors," drawn,
even through the most crowded
streets, by bicyclists, says a Paris
correspondent. The trailer" looks
like a small dog cart, and has pneu-
matic-tired wheels; but instead of
having shafts the strong dashboard
curves outward, tapeiing to a point,
by means of which it is attached to a
strong hook behind the saddle post OF
q bicycle. They are being made by
most of the large bicycle dealers, and
many of them are very elaborate and
expensive. Stylishly dressed, the
young damsels ride comfortably, pro-
tected by an uplifted parasol, while
their best gentleman friend, brother
or some one specially hired, does all
the work. 1t is fortunate for him
that the streets of Paris are compare
lively level.

Colonel JoAa Hay I~vertainly a
variously accomplished man. He
writes charming travel sketches, he
makes a capital speech. he is a born
poet, he has distinguished himself in
diplomacy and politics, and comes
the report that he is the best letter
writer in Washington. As a rule,
men do not excel in this sort of com.
position. The average oma writes
a much better letter than the average
man. As a rule, a mans letters lack
fexibility, lack what is sometimes
known as the eight wrist" But
speaking of John Hay, I have yet TIC
mention still another of his accom-
plishments. He is a capital story
teller and a sparkling wit. One Of
his friends told me some years age
that, as he was walking with him on
Printing House Square, in this city.
a little street wait came up and asked
him for a penny. Hay handed the
youngster a nickel, and then, as he
was running away, brought him to a
halt and said, "Now 1 want to give
YOU a word of advice about this nickel
Don't waste it on silly women."--

Kissing anG splitting by young kit
tens, even before they see, was in the
first place probably an attempt to in
timidate enemies by making them
think that the hole where the helpless
wild kittens resided contained a
venomous snake. 1t is a very curious
and remarkable fact that many differ
ent kinds of creatures which have
their homes in shallow holes have a
similar habit of splitting when an
enemy approaches. Furthermore, it
is probable that the expression of a
cat at bay is part of the same instinc-
tive s~tratagem. We know, says a
writer in Persons Weekly, how gen
eral is the horror of the serpent tribe
throughout all nature, and hence it
seems likely that the s%erpentlike as
pect of the head of an enraged cat, to-
gether with its threatening hiss,
might disconcert an enemy sufficiently
to give an advantage to the cat.
