Pride and the Fall.

Mr.. John Morrison, successful
traveller. has spent great part OF his
career in hotels, and one Of his theo-
ries has been that the mind can be SO
trained that hotel 6re ought not to
distract the reasoning faculties when
presence of mind is needed. He i'm
pressed his theory strongly upon Mrs.
Morrison by instructing her how to
act if they were ever in hotel that
was on fire.
He and his wife were aroused from
their slumbers one night by an alarm.
The hotel in which they had their
rooms was on fire. and there was great
confusion and tumult. among the
guests.
"Now is the time to put into prac-
tice what I have always preached to
you, my dear" said the gentleman.
ssDon't get excited. Put on all your
indispensable apparel and take your
time. Don't lose your head. Just
watch me. ;"
He Gained Mrs. Morrison $ anxiety,
banded her the articles necessary to
her toilet, put on his collar and cuffs,
took his watch from under his pillow
aud placed it.in his pocket. put on his
hat, and walked with Mrs. Morrison
out Of the burning building into the
street.
"Now, my dear" he said. when
they were safe. Don't you see what
grand thing it is to keep cool, and
act with deliberate purpose in an
emergency like this? Here you are
dressed and over yonder are several
ladies in complete deshabille.
Just then Mrs. Morrison for the
first time glanced at her husband.
"You are right, JOHN she said,
cit is grand thing to keep cool and
act deliberately, but if I had been you
I would have stayed in the room long
enough to put on my trousers.

wholesale merchant. All the letters
contain inquiries about that "almigh-
ty dollar and Mr.. Altman, unfor-
tunately,, the ownership of the coin
being in dispute, doesn't know what
to say to all his correspondents.
The funniest part Of the story is
that the woman who originally had
the coin, carried it for three years,
afraid to pass it, because she feared
that it was counterfeit. That much
Altman has admitted to his many
intervicwers. The fact of the matter
is, however. that Altman has asccr.
tained the identity Of the woman, and
has arranged to share the proceeds Of
the sale of the valuable coin with her.
Her name he will not give, though,
and it is doubtful, therefore, that he
knows her at all.
1t all depends upon the woman
whether Harnett shall recover the
dollar and share its proceeds with her
or whether it shall belong to Altman

WHITE WAIST COATS IN COURT
Irish Judges Regard Them Unpro-

Irish Judges Regard Them as Unpro-
fessional and Taboo Them.
An extraordinary incident took place
recently in nisi prius court No. l in
Dublin. While the lord chief justice
Sir Peter O'Brien was engaged in the
hearing of an action against the Dub
lin corporation his lordship said he
observed that one of the queens coun-
sci engaged in the case appeared in a
white waistcoat, which was not a pro-
fessional costume. The MacDermot,
@. c., who was Irish attorney general
under the last liberal government and
who was leading counsel for the corpo-
ration, thereupon endeavored to cover
the offending garment with his silk
gown. In reply to the lord chief JUS
tice, Mr.. Roman, O. c., said that last
week in England a judge had stated
that he would not hear any counsel
who did not appear in bar costume.
The lord chief JUSTICE: ><tAnd will not
hear any barrister who comes into this
court wearing anything that is unpro-
fessional." The MacDermot said he
had not intended to do anything that
was unprofessional. He had been in
the library and had hurried down, moi
having time to change his costume
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy, @. c., here handed
| pin to the MacDermot, with which
amid much laughter, he fastened lhie
silk gown in front so as to hide the 6b-
trusive waistc0at from the sensitive
eyes of his lordship.

THE LAST STRAW.

One flight, two fights. three, four,
and she paused breath1ess.
She was model-in many ways. In
the first place, she was very good, and
In the second, curiously enough, she
was very pretty. Then, too, she posed
for people who painted or sculped. .
She was standing now before door
upon which was nailed card which
no one could read because the hall was
too dark. Had you carried it down to
the street (West Fourteenth street, to
be Definitely you would have seen
Henry Smudge" printed across the
face, and IS Rue Boissonnade crossed
out in the lower right-hand corner.
She had knocked once-gently, and
now, after few minutes pause, she
knocked again. Then she tried the
latch and the door fell open.
It was a little room with one small
skylight and 1t was Uttered with pic
lures, paints, easels, chairs-a small
deal table and a cot which somebody
had tried to make look like, a divan.
1t was not very clean; in fact, it was
dirty, and everything seemed more or
less broken. The breakage was not
that Of everyday wear and tear and
non-repair. 1t bore the impress of de-
liberate intent; in fact, farmer from
cyclone Kansas would have felt thor
oughly at home here.
So the girls eyes wandered over the
wreck and finally rested upon young
mans back. He was seated in the only
chair that was in condition to hold
any one, and his face was buried in his
arms folded across the deal table.
''Oh, Harry!" she gasped. What
have you done?"
Cant you see?" he said.
"Yes-but why? Oh, dear, what is
the matter?"
Henry Smudge stood up. His ragged
slippers, his worn velvet jacket, his
tousled hair, his brown Vandyke beard
all bespoke the artist.
"Bess," he said, slowly, "Im a fail
urea rank failure"
Now Miss Bessie Trilbycroft had pos
ed for several years, and she was
bright girl and had very good idea of
art. It was fair to say that for some
time she had suspected what Henry
Smudge now SO frankly announced.
She had never imagined, though, thai
he suspected it. Honesty, however,
and surprise were too much for her,
and all she said-still breathless-was:
"How-how did you find it out?"
Then she could have bitten her
tongue off, but refrained.
"There," he said, "look at that" and
he handed her a printed paper.
A varnishing-day notice-at the
Academy of Design" she said, slowly.

TRADES THAT CURE.
"A Few of the Callings That Bring
Health to the Operators.

Health TO the operators.
One hears much of the injurious
trades-dippers' lead-poisoning in the
tories-but comparatively few seem to
be aware that there are occupations
that are actually beneficial, even medi-
cinally so, to the health of those en-
gagged in them. The men who lay the
asphalt in the streets, for instance, sell
dom have a days illness and those en-
ployed in electric light works and in
places where large quantities of cleo
tricity are generated enjoy quite an ex
traordinary amount of vitality. A visit
to the gasworks, too, is quite frequently
prescribed by doctors for chest all
ments. The workers in the salt mines
also enjoy an absolute immunity from
rheumatism. Perhaps the healthiest
occupation is that in the petroleum
works. The. men employed in these
| never suffer from sore threats, diph-
liberia, quinsy or kidney ailments. The
marvellous curative effects of the Pc
troleum fumes is such that it is now
quite a. common thing for sufferers
from throat affections to visit the pc
troleum works, much as people used to
drink the waters at Bath. A celebrated
and wealthy operate tenor who had de-
veloped a throat weakness has for sew
enal months past been working as an
ordinary employe, but gratis, in one Of
the petroleum refining rooms, deriving
from the inhaling of the fumes cure
that scores of physicians and several
ocean voyages failed in establishing.

DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.
Young Man Lost Through His Orr.s
Trick,


There Is one young man in this city
who will not be so fresh in the future
when 1t comes to betting with the fair
sex. He was filled with an apprecia-
ton OF his own Judgment, and one day
last week announced to young wom-
an that Yale was sure to win the foot
ball game against Harvard. It hap
pened that the young woman was a
Harvard enthusiast, and she promptly
called the turn, offering to wager that
Harvard would prove the victor. A box
OF candy was suggested for wager,
but this was scorned by the young man
who persisted that If he was to bet he
desired it to be for stakes of some con-
sequence, and proposed that she wager
100 choice cigars against a new dress.
There are reasons for believing that he
thought she would not be equal to the
emergency, but he was sadly disap-
pointed, for she accepted the wager. OF
course she won, but the funny part of
the story remains to be told. The
young man visited one of the dry goods
stores Monday and secured samples OF
dress goods from which the fair win
ner could select. The prices ranged
from Is cents to $1.25 yard and know
ing the disposition to select that which
cost the most, he determined upon a
very cute scheme, or, rather, a scheme
which looked very cute at the time. He
carefully attached price tags to the
samples, marking the lower priced
goods $1.25 yard and the $1.25 sam
pies Is cents. Chuckling at his sharp
ness he presented the materials for Sc
lection. A little later he went around
to hear the decision. II like that piece
Of CLOTH" said the young woman, pick
ing up one of the pieces marked from
Is cents up, "but this one is such a
bargain that I think I shall take it.
And besides," she added, ut will let
you down easier" What he said was
not intended for her ears, but he will
purchase the $1.25 goods, marked down
by himself to rs cents, but still sold by
the merchant at the original price,
