WISER THAN THE PROFESSOR.
Old Coiored Woman who Knows some-
thing About FOSSILS

ssfthS <ADOus Hosshss
A scientific gentleman of Washing
ton, who is greatly interested in fos-
sill remains. recently received very
fine specimen, purporting to be OF the
Devonian or some other old period.
He was delighted, and he called in all
OF thing the animal was during It's
lifetime. They were not able to de-
eide, and they were on the point OF
appealing to some of the government
biologists. The great trouble was that
the specimen had no head, and the
absence of that member combined to
make a mystery of the missing link
variety. Meanwhile the skeleton was
kept carefully guarded in cabinet es-
pecially made for It, One day, after
a short absence from the city, the SCI,
enlist opened the cabinet and found
that the fossil had been provided with
a head. He was delighted. When he,
made inquiries his son told him that
the friend who had sent him the trunk
had found the head and forwarded II
to him while he was away. The pro-
lessor called in his friends, and they
decided that the head fitted perfectly.
and that 1t belonged to the fossil.
When thus equipped it looked for all
the world like one Of the dogs one
would imagine the cave men to have
kept as their pets. The professor felt
that he ought to write treatise on
the CANNES OF the paleozoic ages. An
old colored woman who takes care of
the Office came in one day and saw
the fossil, with its recent addition. She
went up to II and deliberately knocked
the head off with her buster. Fob de
Lawds sake, puffessah!" she exclaim-
ed, what yo' doin' wild OIL chicken
carcass on yo' skellington?" On min
ute investigation the professor found
that the old woman was correct; but
he does not speak to his son now

The Australian BunyIp.

Legends OF a weird creature called
the bunyip, said to have once Inhabited
the Australian lakes and rivers, still
survive at the Antlpodes. Whether 1t
was an aboriginal myth or a vanished
reality continues to be a debatable
point. Some are inclined to think that
1t was the former, as not bone or
vestige Of the bunyip Is to be found in
any museum or scientific collection. II,
however, we are to believe Buckley,
the most renowned and remarkable OF
the wild white men OF Australia, the
bunyip had a real existence. He al
leges that he actually saw one In Lake
Modewara, few miles to the south Of
Ieelong. THE waters OF the lake are
perfectly fresh, Astounding in large
cells, which we caught in great album
dance. In this lake, as well as in most
OF the others inland, and in the deep
water rivers, Is very extraordinary
call the bunyip, OF which / could
never see any part except the back,
which appeared to be covered with
feathers of dusky gray color. II
seemed to be about the color OF full
grown calf and sometimes larger. The
creature only appears when the
weather is very calm and the water
smooth. / could never learn from any
of the natives that they had seen either
the head or the tail, so that could not
form n correct idea of its size or what
Ii was like"

SERIOUS HINTS ON DRESS.
with Some Flippant Comments by q
Boston Man.

WIN some Fbppaub comments by q
Boston Man.
We have received a little pamphlet
which We hope has been distributed
widely among our readers, observes
the Boston Journal. The careful study
of it may put an end to doubts that
have embittered households and poi
soned the wells of domestic happiness,
This little book-we dislike the term
"booklet''-tells in simple language
how to dress your coachman, groom,
butler, doorman and page.
Thus, for instance, the coachman
should wear six buttons on his coat
two on the back at waist and two at
the bottom of the skirt. He should
also have flaps on his pockets. Other
wise he might be mistaken for the
groom, who has no flaps on the pock-
cts and has five buttons in front and
six behind. These buttons should al
ways match the metal trimmings on
the harness. Ardent Bryanites will, Of
course, use silver.
The hat must be silk. There is no
alternative. SLOUGH hats are no longer
worn by the coachman Of our more ex-
elusive citizens, and the more fastidi-
Gus insist that the hat should be a
new one, not a cast-off dicer of the
master. The coachman, when on duty,
should smoke only cigars. They should
cost at least at the rate of three for
a quarter. Green baize cloth aprons
should match your billiard table. Crest
buttons, worn by your servants, should
be ducal. There are several dukes in
England, so there may be variety in,
the device.
BY paying attention to these details
and the advice as to other matters CIV
en- by this pamphlet, you will be
obliged to be more scrupulous as to
your own dress, for it is a sad sight
when the groom is mistaken for the
master.

AND ROSE.

and ushered in the lady client. She
was received by young man of stern,
business-like aspect, irreproachably at
tired, who bowed with gravity and po-
likeness, while his rather cold gray
eyes inspected the little figure before
him with swift scrutiny. His eyes
were deeply set beneath overhanSlng
brows, which gave rather a repellant
look to the fact-a look that would
convince a keen observer that he was
a man who kept his own secrets. nls
fair mustache was not long, but thick;
his hair was also fair, and he vas
slightly bald above the forehead. His
complexion was fair and clear, his
nose straight and well-formed; his
air was that of thorough man of the
world, with every now and then a
suggestion Of boredom. He had no
outward characteristic that would JUS
tify one in putting him down as an
attractive man, yet the impression
made by Mr.. Martineau at first sight
was nearly always favorable; he con-
veyed the idea of being a cultivated
man, and was almost invariably an
agreeable companion.
A faint smile of amusement lowered
about his lips as his eyes rested upon
the lady client.
, She was small as we'll as young
might be described, in fact, as petite.
She was undeniably shabby. Her hat
might have cost a shilling, and was
trimmed with a plain bow Of ribbon.
Her dress was of cheap dark-colored
cotton, and considerably the worse for
wear Her gloves were cotton, too;
and her skin as fresh and clear as if
she had never been within reach OF
London smoke.
AS she raised pair of large, dark
eyes to those of the junior partner a
sudden change swept over his face
a fleeting expression, such as a man
might wear to whom, in the midst of
comfort and luxury, came a disagreea-
BILE reminder of the existence of power
ty and want. The next moment he
was offering her a seat and inquiring
politely in what way he could serve
her.
The lady client sat down. Mr.. Mar
tineau's own seat was placed so that
his back was to the light; it suited him
better to observe than to be observed.
His visitor compressed her pretty lips
in a strong effort to be solemn. and
demanded:
"Are you Mr.. Martineau?"
II am-entirely at your service"
