yyould Not Eat the Spaniards.

Says the Worcester MASS. Gazette:
"They tell story of Major Whipple's
experience in the physical e1amina-
ton at South Framingham, a rigorous
test, as many have cause to remem-
ber. One of the examiners was look
ing at the Majors teeth, and made
some doubtful remark about them.
The examiners were very particular
about teeth, and when the men began
on Government rations they could see
some reason for this. why, hang it, ,
said the Major, angrily, I'm going
down there to shoot the Spaniards I
don't propose to eat tbem.'

A Queer Way of Striking.

The village bells of Potzbach, Ger
many, have not been ringing since
New Years Day, and the people have
awakened to the fact that the mana
teacher-who has done the work
hitherto has been paid only $2.64 a
year and has struck for higher wages.
The people of the town are troubled,
for they have discovered that the bell
rope hangs in the teachers bed cham
ber and that he will not allow any
body to disturb his early snooze by
entering and pulling the rope. 1t is
said that the man for the last year has
been in the habit of ringing the bell
while lying in bed in the morning.

Father Leaves Him 100000.

Thomas Palmer, of Priceburg, a
small mining town, near Carbonate,
Penn. inherits 100000 by tho death
of his father, in Canada, year ago.
The father came. to America many
years ago and settled in Canada. His
family in England never heard from
him, and it was generally believed
that he was dead. His son came to
Pennsylvania a few years ago and
settled in Priceburg. Several months
ago.. in c casual talk with an acquaint.
ance who had travelled in Canada he
learned that man who he had reason
to believe was his father lived in small
town near Toronto. Last summer
young Palmer went to this town, and,
while walking in front of the mansion
where he was told his father lived, ht
met an old man who, seeing Palmer
look closely about the place, inquired
his business. It was soon told, and
then there was joyful meeting.-

A Very Good Bid.

It was at an auction room. The
place was crowded, and the collection
of furniture, art and bric-a-brac being
unusually choice, the bidding had
been very spirited. During all inter-
val of the sale, a man with pale and
agitated countenance pushed his way
to the auctioneer's side and engaged
him in O whispered conversation.
Presently he stood aside, and the
auctioneer raped attention with his
little hammer.
"Ladies and gentlemen" he said,
in a loud voice, "I have to inform you
that a gentleman present has lost his
pocketbook containing $500. He Of
fers $3.50 for its return"
Instantlya small man in the back
ground sprang upon chair, and cried
ezcitedly, "Tll give you $780,"

parade. The protection and comfort
it affords are too we'll known to be
long lost sight of, and for school girls
there is no top coat that can we'll take
its place. Beaver -colored cheviot

sented, the finish being strictly in
tailor style, with double rows of ma
chine stitching. Clear crystal buttons
are used in closing the double-breasted
fronts, which are loose fitting, but

curring centre seam render a close

joined to the full vest and closed with
it at the left shoulder. The under
portions OF the sleeves are smooth, the
upper being in two portions that are
gathered and stylishly arranged over

between the centre edges that form

with q shape girdle of black satin.
Many stylish combinations may be

Angles Out OF Style.

Among the tailors and modistes an.
giles seem to have been wholly dis
pensed with. Every jacket, coat,
cape, tunic, founce-in short every
garment that admits it, is rounded
and sloped at its edges. Indoor toll
cts and street costumes are alike
shaped on this principle, and even
some of the jackets made with short
Eton fronts have arched basques of
great length dipping at the back.
Sometimes the basque IS cut in one
with the waist portion like an English
walking-cost, cut away on the fronts;
again it is added, sloping gradually
backward in polonaise style.
