Payn's Fearful Writing.

James Payn's chirography is some
thing fearful to contemplate. 1t is SIM
ply execrable. The Academy tells a nice
story about Payn's ''bewildering hand
writing Miss Jane Barlow sent a
poem as a first contribution to The
Cornhill when Payn was its editor.
Think of the lady receivinga brief line
which she interpreted as follows: 81

OF course Miss Barlow INDUCED in
copious tears. There never was such an
i'll hammered snub. Then she COM
menced to study the scrawl. Now came
a CLEAN of light, for she dimly made
out what it really was, Il hope to use
your pretty verses. "

l once knew an estimable lady who
in the absence of her cook undertook to
make a certain kind of cake. She took
''some" of one kind of ingredient, "a lit
tle' of another and "a small quantity"
of something else. To her delight and
surprise, the result was a cake of which
neither she nor any one else had ever
heard. 1t was an entirely new cake and
an extremely delicious one. Proud of
her achievement, the lady gave the cake
the beautiful and poetic name of ''ashes
CT angels, and on the very next occa-
sion when the absence of her cook made
it possible for her TO venture into her
kitchen she tried to repeat her success.
This event happened in the year 1888,
and ever since that date the unfortunate
lady has been vainly trying TO repro
duce her wonderful cake. She has never
once succeeded. although she has made
at least 200 different varieties of cake
and pudding, each one of which has
been more deadly than the other. She
is still hoping that one of these days
she may hit upon her ''ashes of angels
again, but as that cake was purely the
result Of chance the prospect that she
will he able to make it a second time is
not bright.-W. l.. Alden in Pearson s
Magazine.

She Wanted to Know.

OF women who wear black some wo-
men always have an air of recent be-
reavement which misleads the ordinary
mind. At railway station in this state
not long ago tall woman rCbed in
deep black, accompanied by a young
woman in colCred garb, sat waiting for
a train. The station matron lowered in
the vicinity, evidently with something
on her mind, and finally beckOned to the
young woman, who went to see what
was wanted.
Has she got corpse with her" the
station matron asked
'.CorpseI' the young woman ex-
claimed. looking over her shoulder in
CHASTITY fright. who's got a corpse
with her? What do you mean?"
Don't be scared, lady" the matron
exclaimed. Most of 'em that travels
in deep mournin has corpses on the
train. 1 just wanted to know if your
lady had corpse with her.
Goodness, MOI" said the young wo-
man. Her husbands been dead so
years. You ought to be ashamed to
shock people that way. Don t you ever
treat me that way again.
The station matron looked disap-
pointed, and the young woman went
back and sat down without even feel
ing at liberty to tell the lady in black
what had happened. - indianapolis

THE BALKY HORSE.
a Simple scheme of the Motorman
That Made Him Go.

People near the New York entrance
of the bridge saw balky horse frus-
trated with delightful ease the other
day by a man who openly confessed
that he had no practical or theoretical
knowledge of Workmanship. He was
the motorman of a Fourth avenue car
bound toward the terminal at the
bridge. The horse was one of those an
gular. cockeyed, ungainly beasts that
no amount of cUrrying and feeding
could make respectable.
1t had stopped square in the middle
of the track and had spread its feet
apart as though its mind was made up
to bold the street against the world. In
a few minutes four trolley cars were
backed up behind the cart and more
were in sight down Center street. Mo-
tormen, conductors, truck drivers. as
sorted citizens and a policeman stood
around and gave the usual advice. The
driver kicked the horse and two or
three men called to the policeman to
stop him. Then they in turn made hu
name suggestions about starting a fire
under the beast S stomach. a woman
said that it would be easy enough for
any one to coax him along with lump
of sugar.
The motorman of the fifth trolley
car, which had by this time reached the
end of the blocked line, walked up and
surveyed the situation.
Whose car is this - he asked, point
ing to the first car that had come up
behind the wagon to which the balky
horse was attached.
Its mine, I" said another motorman,
who was lingering a brass motor handle
us though he would like TO brain the
horse with il.
The motorman from the rear hoisted
the cars front fender and strapped it
in piece, folded against the dashboard.
Now" he said to the motorman
who had claimed the car. Ego ahead,
very easy" Then, turning to the dis
cOnsolately profane driver of the horse.
he said, Get up and take hold of the
reins.
The car ran forward until the fender
reached the tailboard of the wagon.
''Now, said the self appointed master
of ceremonies to his fellow motorman,
''start up as fast as you durn please.
and don't stop until you get to the
bridge"
The car started. The wagon started.
The horse in the shafts simply had to
start. He slid and showed back for n
few inches and then broke into help
less gallop. The car came banging along
behind, giving the horse no chance to
change his mind and balk again. The
spectators cheered. The ingenious mo-
torman looked the assembly over with
a sneer.
.'Sayi" he said. ''Sayi Some people
are dead slow, ell New York Sun

THE MODERN ENeLIsHMAN.
An Incident Which Aptly Illustrates
HIS DeIiberatcness.


To illustrate the deliberateness of the
modern EngiishInan let me tell of hat
which blew of a mechanics head on
the top of bus crossing Albert bridge.
A stiff breeze blew up the Thames, and
the hat was whirled against the side of
the bridge and then went spinning
down the footway in the opposite di-
rection from that which the omnibus
pursued. II say" said the mechanic.
reaching over and touching the driver
on the shoulder; me ats blowed OFF. -
The driver fidgeted a moment at this
sudden interruption, then took tight
er grasp of the reins and clucked to the
horses to quicken their pace The hat
and the vehicle spun along in opposite
ways. Il say, driver. said the mechan-
ic; '.me ats bowed off. The driver
fidgeted again, but now his mind grasp
ed the situation, though most unwill-
ingly.
1T as. as itr' he said. turning to
the man. ''Well. then, that'n teach
you to buy ats to fit your cad. 1 'ad a
ole lot of ats blow off before made
up me mind to get 'em to fit me cad.
After that 1 'ad no more trouble
The hat was still bowling along and
was now at the farther end of the
bridge. The mechanic looked at it
duly. l was in fever of gratuitous
impatieuce for the bus to stop or for
the man to climb down. The driver
turned back to his work and clucked to
his horses. who quickened their gait.
Just then vagrant stopped the flight
of the hat and ran and caught the bus
