A JOKE ON THE POLICEMAN.
How French Policeman Got Reinforce

ments to Capture a Supposed Thief
 Mile. Jeanne Granier, the well known French actress once met with an amusing adventure. t happened at Marseilles. In one Of the little pieces she plays by herself she has for acces- sorry the lay figure of a man. skilfally artieulated and dressed in travelling suit, with which she dances. The figure during her voyage was enveioped tn a tight fitting covering.
 On reaching Maf8eilles i5#Was Jeff in Che luggage room with other things. The curiosity Of two railway employees being aEea a a6 fae sight of it. taeE took of tbe covering and resolved tor play joke on tasiH comrades. They placed the figure iH an arm chair at the desk q tae=eashies and zHGt 6he door. When the 6mB5oEes= oH night service came thaT opened the 6o6r and were surprised to see s man sitting down before the cash boz. They immediate ly closed a15 locked tHe door and ran for assistance.
 4 policeman arrived, revolver iF hand, believing. ske the employees that he had 10 de5l Wi5h a aanseHao= tbtef. He called CT the figure to sur render and follow him to tae sta ton. AS it did not obey the summons. the policemen shut the door and went in search of rein 5orcemeats to sur round the place, aEd thereby to prevent fhe culpFit from escaping. The door was again opened. the armed force entered. and it was not until they had suddenly poQneedcn= lie poor lay rob. 6er that they discovered t6e joke.

They decided to refer the ques- tion, which was wholly one of the cor rect interpretation of law, to William M Evarts, and to te guided wholly by his opinion. Their lawyer stated their case to the Senator, and asked him the important question. EYarts reputa- tton and success are wholly due. not as a cross s-examtner or conductor e cases, but simply to his remarkable knowledge of law and his power. which seems almost like intuition. of deter mining just how the Supreme Court will decide any question of law.
 When the attorney for the great cor. poration put his question, so Yitally important to that corporations exist ence, Eyarts sat buried in thought for minute, and then answered in one word, "Yes." His bill for the one word was $250,O0O, and the corporation nai9 it without murmur. EYarts answeg proved to be correct

MUMMIES IN ITALY.

The vicissitudes of the dead would furnish material for an interesting l and greWsome volume. We gre. of course, not surprised when we see an Egyptian mummy, but it is very ex- traordinary that during the middle l ages and the renaissance a species of mummihcation was also adopted in Italy, and even continues to this day. The two most curious examples of this are the cemetery of the Capuchins. in Rome, and the cadacOmlbs of the Ca
 puchins, at Palermo. In the latter
 place, we believe, bodies are still add
 ed; though probably not in the Roman
 Capuchin cemetery, as intramural in
 terments are forbidden in Rome even
 to popes. The catacombs of the Cup-
 puccinf, at Palermo consist of a series
 Of chambers which are well lighted.

A visit on the eve of All Souls day is a thing long to be remembered. Lights flare dimly through lanterns of bone, revealing the hideous forms of the dead The bodies against the walls appear like malefactOrs who had been hung Many of the bodies appear shabby as regards dress, as their friends do not give them a pothumous toilet from time to time, which is so necessary to keep them in good repair.
 The cemetery of the Capuchins in Rome is fully as interesting and ghaSt- ly. It is a series of vaulted chambers above the ground, so that there is no need of artificial daylight Around the walls skulls and other bones are ar ranged in patterns. The ceilings are covered by ornamental patterns made of smaller bones, and lamps depending from the ceiling are also made from bones of the arm

DIRIGIBLE BALLOON.

pr. K. I. Danflewsky of Charokov, Russia, has met with considerable success in operating dirigible bal loon of his own design. This balloon flying machine, says the Scientific American, is based on the hypothesis that if a mans strength in proportion to his weight is not sufficient to raise him in the air he can raise himself if part of his weight is subtracted. By the use of balloon filled with hydro gen the weight of the man is eliminat- ed from the problem, and he can use all his efforts to propel and steer the balloon which supports him.

TACTFUL MRS. QUAY.

Mrs. Quay has often shown herself as adroit a politician as her husband. The latter, of course, has a wide ac- Quaintance among the politicians of Pennsylvania, and often entertained them at his house. One day he brought home to dinner an awkward, old crossroads statesman from one of the mountain districts The table was set with beautiful and costly china Senator Quay is a great collector of rare ceramics. The visitor upset and broke a dainty cup. To cover his con- fusion Mrs. Quay at once picked up 8 similar cup in her hand That ware is extremely fragile she said. T can crush it in my fingers" Another of the beautiful pieces was shattered into fragments, and at the same time the allegiance of the awkward guest to M. s. Quay was cemented for all time.

 The ball given by the Rebekahs at the Tempe Odd Fellows hall last evening is one which will long be re- membered by the social circles of the south side. Not only a large number of persons from all parts of the south side attended, but about 100 invited guests from Phoenix took part The hall had been lavishly decorated and in elegance it fully met with the eX- pectations of the peopla. It is re- gretted that the electric light system, which is being established in Tempe, has not lbesn completed, as incandes- cent lights were intended by the com mittee to be one of the features of the evening, but the guests soon lost sight of this fact in the enjoyment Of the evening.
