Reed and StrOut.

Thomas B. Reed served in the navy
during the civil war, and in 1855 he
returned to Portland to practice law.
AS a young lawyer he displayed the
same qualities Of ability and aggres-
%siveness which have been a %conspicu-
u characteristic of his political life.
One of the strongest men at the Port
land bar at the time was A. A. Strout.
Before beginning the trial of a suit
it was Strout's habit to inquire of every
juror as to the state Of his health and
impress each with the idea that the law
yer was solicitous Of that jurors per-
sonal welfare.
Reed and Strout we're constantly au-
tagonizing each other, though they
were very good friends. In nearly every
case of Importance Strout and Reed
were on opposite sides.
It was annoying, indeed, for the suave
Strout to hear Reed drawl out before
the opening Of a case:
"Well, your honor, Brother Strout
having finished his morning task Of
shaking hands with the jury, we may
now, I hope, proceed with the business
Of the court. '-Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post.

A Test of Nerve.

The midshipman had greater free
dom under Captain Lyons, who, being
a thorough seaman, made that acquire
ment his first object by placing his
young officers in positions of RESPONSE
bility. He made his midshipmen take
charge of the watch night and day. I
had then been only four years in the
service. One night the weather looked
very threatening, and we had royals set,
so I went down to the captain and asked
whether I should shorten sail. He turn
ed round in his cot and said. "Wait till
it comes.'
I went on deck, and, knowing what
he would say if any spars were lost, I
commenced taking in sail. We were
struck by a squat go fierce that I had
to put the helm up and get the ship be-
fore the wind to get the canvas in.
When Captain Lyons came on deck and
saw what I had done, he gave me great
credit, laughed and said he had tried
my nerve and sailoring. When I passed
for lieutenant, he gave me a certificate
which modesty forbids me to publish
''Life of Vice Admiral Lord Lyons" by
Captain Wilmot.

A Bad Place For Fat Men.

Among the ancient Spartans every
thing was considered secondary to mil
itary efficiency, and with a view to Sc
curing this the boys and men were by
law kept in a continual state of ''train-
ing No deformed child was allowed
to live. The boys were taken from their
homes and subjected to military regu-
lations at the age of 7. They were COM
PEELED to veal the same single garment
winter and summer. At 20 they joined
the ranks, and from that age till they
reached SO were required to dine at the
public tables, where only a certain
quantity was supplied for each man.
The magistrates interfered in absurdly
small matters. They regulated the de-
gree of fairness to which it was lawful
for any citizen to extend his body.
Those who dared to grow too fat or
too soft for military service and exer-
else were sometimes soundly fogged.
Aelian, in his history, relates that
Nauclis, SOL of Polytus, was brought
before the ephors (magistrates) and the
whole assembly Of Sparta, and "his un-
lawful fatness' was publicly exposed,
and he was threatened with perpetual
Punishment if he did not bring his body
within the regular Spartan compass
and give up the culpable mode Of living,
which was declared to be more worthy
of an Ionian than a Spartan

A Good Story of Landseer.

Landseer, riding down Bond street,
saw the following notice in a picture
dealers shop window, "a Fine Land
seer on View Within" He went into
the shop and asked to see the "fne
Landseer." The dealer, who did not
recognize him, proudly pointed out the
work. It was rather an early one. The
dealer was, Of course, loud in its praise.
"And now much do you want for
it?' said Landseer.
"Two thousand guineas, SIR was
the reply.
1.-TWO thousand guineas? That seems
a long price for ar early work"
81 could not take a shilling less"
said the dealer "He's gone, sir,"
touching his forehead significantly.
''He's out of his mind. He'll never
paint another" .
"Is he indeed?" said Landseer. 'I'm
very sorry to hear that And as he
was coming away he noticed a large
picture by Stanfield. ''May I ask what
you want for this Stanfield
"That, sir, is also 2, 600 guineas."
"What!' said Landseer, touching
his forehead and initiating the dealers
gesture. SIS Stanfield gone too?"

some Case, of Kleptom.ui..

Here are some striking cases of KEEP
tomania: a series of thefts was COM
mitted in some of the best houses in
New York. The culprit turned out to
be a young woman connected by birth
and marriage with the owners. There
after. when from a household which she
had visited anything was missed, the
wner would go to her. kiss her and
ask it back. It was quite a family mat
ter.
At that time there was a journalist
about town who was both a social ia
vorite and an able man. He kept a
bachelor establishment in which it was
his amiable habit to entertain those
afternoon Or of an evening people would
gather and take back from his drawing
room things which he had taken from
theirs. There was never q word ex-
changed on the subject. Perfect cour-
tesy prevailed.
Then there was a young fellow whose
name figures in the early history of the
United States. At q dinner which he
attended a ring handed about for in
spection disappeared. So much was said
that later he returned it with a state
ment to the effect that it had caught in
the lining of his sleeve. A few days
afterward we heard Talboys-dead
since, but not forgotten-ordering a
coat of a tailor whom we %patronized in
common and expressly STIMULATING that
it should not have that kind of sleeve.
In each of these instances the case
belonged not to jurisprudence, but to
pathology. Kleptomania is a disease,
like influenza, only, thank fortune, less
catching.-Collier's Weekly.

A JACK OF ALL TRADES.
The Versatility of n Frenchman OF
the Eighteenth Century,.

The versatll1ty or Il Frenchman OF
the Eighteenth Century,.
In times long gone by active men
combined many vacations. The barber
in those days vas also the dentist and
often performed other duties. A sign
discovered in southern France recently
shows how versatile it was possible for
a man to become. The sign dates back
to the last century and reads:
Isaac Macairie, barber, wigmaker, healer.
sacristan, schoolteacher, blacksmith and OBJ
stetrician; shaving, l Sou; hair cutting, 2
sous; powdering and pomading very cheap for
pretty, we'll bred young women; lamps lighted
by the year or quarter; teaches the mother
tongue in the best methods: instructs in sing
ing and shoes horses with a master hand
makes and repairs boots and shoes; teaches
the young to play the oboe and jewsharp: cuts
out corns and applies blisters, plasters or cups
at lowest prices; supplies purging medicine at
/ SOU; visits ''ouses to teach the cotillon and
other dances sells sachet powders of all kinds
at wholesale and retail; also all kinds Of sta
tionery, shoe polish, sailed behring's, spiced
bread, bristle brushes, mousetraps of wire
and other material, heart strengthening roots,
potatoes, sausages and other kinds of vegeta
hles.
One would naturally think that all
those talents and occupations would be
enough for n man. But not so in the
case of M. Macaire. A postscript on the
sign reads

E.n,ou. Poison Mx.terx.

England had a famous poison mystery
a quarter of a century ago.. Two mem
bers Of a great club in Manchester, both
men Of position and keen politicians,
each received, apparently as a New
Years gift, small boxes containing a
few cigars of the very highest quality
apparently. Both were taken fearfully
i'll after smoking. and one of them SUBJ
s%equently died.
The cigars were found to be loaded
with poison, and it was said that the
mar who recovered only did 60 because
he used a cigar holder. The facts were
at first hushed up, because, as was said,
the suspected sender, whose motive was
revenge on account of a lady. was a
mar of wealth and power.
But this subject was cleared, and the
mystery was ~deepened by the following
circumstances: A rich Manchester mer-
chant, travelling one day in a railway
a about the time Of the incident re-
lated, got into conversation with a most
.agreeably and highly cultivated stran-
ger, who finally offered his cigar Gaze.
The Manchester man was found at
Leeds almost unconscious and the only
occupant of the carriage. He grasped in
one of his convulsed hands the cigar he
had been smoking and after analysis
showed it to be identical with the 9TH
ers. He recovered, but the stranger was
lever discovered.

Hardly Worth the Agony.

An artist of more than national fame
chose the most beautiful girl in his
town for a mate. Before they were
married he said: my dear, you are al
most perfect. You lack but two things
your mouth is a little too small, and
you are a little too thin. I wish that
before we are married you would cor
rect those two and become absolute per-
lection" For six months the poor girl
wore a brass fixture in her mouth to
stretch her jaw and ate f~attening food.
Then she was married. To an intimate
friend she has since confessed that the
agony of that six months jaw stretch
ing was not worth all she since has en-
joyed as the wife Of a distinguished
artist. New York Commercial Adver
tiser,

with the brains of 30 men in his head,

Omaha in the spring of 1854. At that
time he was the most talked Of man in
America. He had not a thing but mon
ey. He bought S 1000 city lots, and alto
gether spent several hundred thousand
dollars. He boarded at the Herndon
House, the best hotel in sight. The
quixotic Train was regular in only one
thing-his habits. He always occupied
the same seat at the table. One morn
ing a zane of glass was broken out Of a
window directly behind his chair. He
protested and was advised to change
his seat. He would not. Instead he paid
a servant 10 cents a minute to stand
between him and the draft. After
breakfast he expostulated with the
landlord, but received no satisfaction.
Never mind" said Train. I'm 60
days l will build a hotel that will ruin
your business
And he did. The contract was let
that day. Scores Of men were put to
work. The site selected was Ninth and
Harvey streets. near the Missouri river.
Citizen Train went to New York and
engaged Colonel Cozzens. a noted caterer
of that city, as manager for his hotel.
The building alone cost $40, 900. The
furnishings cost $40, 900 more. In the
basement was a gas plant-the only
n west of St. Louis. The work was
done or time. and. true to his word, so
days after he threatened the manager
of the Herndon House George Francis
Train. citizen Of the earth, opened his
hotel. which he called the Cozzens
House. The grand opening ball was at
tended by the governor of Nebraska and
his staff. the mayor of Omaha and
many notables from other states. The
house was a blaze of glory and a scene
of almost oriental ma]gniticence. Just
when the big reception Vas well on
there was a sudden flash, u strange
noise, and then-total darkness! The
gas plant had collapsed.
The Cozzens House did a Furnishing
business for a year or two and the Hern-
don House was badly crippled. Finally
Train fell out with his manager and
the place was closed.
After the business part Of Omaha
moved hack from the river the Herndon
House declined and finally relapsed into
a state of %innocuous desuetude. A few
years later it became the property Ct
the Union Pacific railroad and is still
used as the headquarters of that com
pany in Omaha.
DR.. H. H. Hubbard, a St. Louis den
fist. was the first clerk of the Cozzens
House.

"The popping stone' marks the spot
where Sir Walter Scott asked Miss Car
penter to marry him. It is situated in
the beautiful valley of the Irthing, at
Gilsland, an inland watering place near
Carlisle. The popping stone is visited
by many thousands during the summer
months, and, it is said, many a laggard
lover has had his courage screwed up to
popping point at this romantic spot.
In the immediate neighborhood may
also be seer "Mumps Ha," which Scott
immortalized in "Guy Mannering,"
