Of poor Queen Marie Antoinette at the

marquises had handed the royal night

is made Of any ablutions, except that
he was shaved every other day.-Corn-

Piecing Bank Notes.

1 am told at the treasury department
that it is not possible for person to
defraud the government by what they
call "piecing'-that is, by clipping off
small slices of several bank notes and
fitting them together to resemble q
complete note. Such offenses have
been committed, and the guilty persons
have been sent to the penitentiary, but
the treasury never redeems the bills,
and the loss falls upon the persons who
send them in for redemption. There
are several ways Of committing frauds
of this nature, and they are done so
skillfully as to escape detection except
by experts. There is now a $500 note
on exhibition at the treasury which
is made up of 16 slices of other notes
so skillfully fitted together as to es-
cape the notice of a number of banks
and many people who handled it.-Chi-

In the early days Of Ventura, Cal,
DR.. Bard established such reputation
for willingness to fight that few pre-
sumed to provoke his anger. He was
once Informed that the lawyer he had
engaged to represent him In certain

"I'll cut his heart out" said Bard when
the news came to him.
Shortly after that, walking with one

The Lady ana th. r..th.

Il was called one day to a certain
hotel to give chloroform to a young
woman who was about to undergo a
slight surgical operation to remove a
morbid growth in the ear" said q ply
sician. 'The patient, as It developed
on my arrival, had been married only a
few days before and was In the city
with her husband on their bridal tour.
Although quite handsome, she was no
longer exactly in her first youth, and
she was very much averse to having
her husband present at the operation.
However, he Insisted, and she finally
agreed that he should stay, but no.
ticed that she seemed very nervous and
preoccupied.
"The operation, as said before, was
trifing. She took the chloroform easily
and all went well until she was Just
regaining consciousness, when she
opened her mouth, and out fell set of
false teeth. She had said nothing about
that detail, and the truth was that she
had hoped, poor woman, to pass
through the ordeal without the fact of
her wearing such things being known
to her husband
"But the effect on that individual
was entirely unexpected. He gave one
Mortified glance and then rushed at the
old surgeon and seized him by the
throat. You Infamous scoundrelr he
yelled. You have broken my poor dar-
ling's jawl' er.
"At that stage Of affairs I beat a re-
treat. 7 never did learn exactly what
the husband thought had happened or
what sort of explanation was offered" )"

Amt EnRfneers.


Something new and interesting about
ants was learned by a Mount Airy
florist recently. For week or SO he
had been bothered by ants that got into
boxes of seeds which rested on shelf.
To get rid Of the ants he put into exc
cution an old plan, which was to place
a meaty bone close by, which the ants
soon covered, every one DESERVING the
boxes of seeds. As soon as the bone
would become thickly inhabited by the
little creepers the florist tossed 1t into
a tub of water. The ants having been
washed off, the bone was put in use as
a trap again.
Then the florist bethought himself
that he would save trouble by placing
the bone in the center Of sheet Of fly
paper, believing that the ants would
never get to the bone, but would get
caught on the sticky fly paper while
trying to reach the food. But the
florist was surprised to find that the
ants, upon discovering the nature Of
the paper trap, formed working force
and built path on the paper clear to
the bone. The material for the walk
was sand secured from a little pile
near by. For hours the ants worked,
and when the path was completed they
made their way over its dry surface in
couples, as in a march, to the bone

HOW A CLAIM PAID.
One Way of Getting Money without
Panning 1t Out

Panning 1t Out.
There are more ways of making
money off a claim than panning it
out" So an Alaska miner who had
some luck with his pick and shovel.
"For instance, l knew a man of means
in the Dawson district who had a
claim which had failed to be as profit
able as expected, and he didn't know
just what to do with 1t to get his
money back until he had devoted con-
siderable thought to it. And it was sim
pie enough when he knew how.
He quietly went to the gold COM
missioner and announced that he wish
ed to pay his 10 per cent royalty on the
product of his claim for year, which
was $4,000. The commissioner ac-
cepted the $4,000 royalty and gave him
the usual receipt, stating on its face
what it was for, with the number of
the claim, location, etc.
Then he waited patiently about,
like Mary's little lamb, and one day, in
the course Of human events, an Eng
lishman came along looking for a good
tnlng Ior some people VINO mad money
to spend. He asked Mr.. Blank. among
others, what he had to sell, and the
smooth gent told him he didn't know
exactly, but he would show him his
goods. They looked over several
claims that were practically unworked,
and then in casual way Mr.. Blank
showed the Englishman his receipt
for royalty on claim so and so. And.
you know he said, with wink, that
a man isn't paying royalty on any
more than he can possibly help
'@The Englishman was right on to
that little game, of course, and he
sized up the $4,000 receipt, looked over
the claim in a general way and ended
by buying it for O,OOO."-Washing-
ton Star.

The Duke and the Dean.

The late Prebendary Rogers used to
tell how Lord Rosebery Joined him In
petitioning the Duke Of Wellington to
open Apsley House on Sunday after
Moons, so that the public might see the
pictures. The duke and Mr. Rogers
met in the park and began to speak
about the memorial
Among all these signatures" said
the duke, 81 find only one respectable
name, and that is your own"
Mr.. Rogers replied that Dean Stan
ley had signed.
"Oh," said the duke, 81 don't call him
respectable"
''Well, but there is Lord Rosebery"
81 don't think much Of him." answer
ed the duke; ''but, as you assure me 1t
is all right, will see what can be
DONE"
1t was finally agreed that visitors
should be admitted on condition that
they wiped their feet on the mats and
did not sit down on the sofas.-West-

Montana Sapphires,

There are in Montana sapphires of
beauty and value, but they have never
been as Systematically worked as have
been the sapphires of the orient. True,
they are light in color, but they have
more brilliancy than the Asian sap
phires and often exhibit dichorism, or
double color, under different lights.
The supposition that sapphire should
be dark blue is possibly responsible for
the slowness Of their acceptance in the
market, but as matter of fact sap
phires are not Of necessity blue; they
are green, yellow, purple, white, and
when they are red we call them rubies,
for the ruby and sapphire are Identical
1y the same, save for q fraction of a
per cent of coloring matter.-Brooklyn

l am conscious of an interruption
and protest at this point, denying the
allegation and defying the alligator,
but must insist on the truth Of my
statement. The tune Smyrna" is not
sung so much in church as it used to
be, but you could find it in plenty of
tunebooks % years ago. 1t is a beauti-

as it expresses the devotion of the fic-

soles her bruised lover. - Irish Inde-

Saved the Rank, Money.

Whenever I buy anything" once
said Russell Sage in telling the story,
II make it rule to talk with the sales
man. I am a member of a great many
different boards of directors in great
many lines Of investment, and l often
find this information of great service
Some time ago I went into a large
clothing store to buy a suit of clothes
at low price that I had seen adver-
tised. bought the clothes for $14,
think, and in talking with the clerk
found the lot had been sent to his store
from a big manufacturing concern to
be sold on commission. l got them for
less than cost. Now, l have kept a
general store and understand that busi-
ness, and there is no money in that
sort of thing.
"a few weeks afterward this manu-
featuring concern applied to one of the
banks am connected with for a large
loan. Their credit was apparently all
right but on the strength of what l
had learned held up that loan, and a
short time later the concern failed."-

The Rooster Was Game.

A Rockland young man is the owner
Of a smart rooster and has long enter
tanned suspicion that the bird might
have inherited gamy characteristics
from some long forgotten ancestor. To
apply this theory in an actual test he
went home the other night, surrepti-
tiously conveyed the parlor mirror into
the hen pen and held it before the gaze
Of the wondering rooster.
The young man was not kept long in
suspense as to the birds fighting quail
tiles. After brief, incredulous glance
at the proud reflection in the glass the
rooster descended upon the object with
spurs set and wrath cleaning from
each beadlike eye. There were crash,
smash and clatter, and when the
dust and feathers cleared away the
young sportsman stood, a dismayed
spectator, in the center Of a pile of
ruins formed of broken mirror, Stats
and pulverized plate glass.
He is now satisfied with the rooster,
but how he squared himself about the
broken mirror is not known.-Bangor

Fairly Good Time.

Seated around a Topeka railroad
lunch counter the other day were four
old Santa Fe engineers. They were

Humor. of organ blowers.

An Irishman had been obtained at a
pinch to blow an organ. The player
was ready and the signal was given,
but no wind came. The signal was re-
peated a second time, and again third
time, but still without result. The de-
lay was becoming awkward, the con-
gregation was getting uneasy. What
was to be done? Choristers and organ
list now united in shouts of "Blowl
blowl blowF' Not the slightest zephyr
stirred within the wind chest.
At length the organist FASTENED to
the blowers sanctum. And what a
sight it was that met his eyes! Cling
ing with heels and hands to the long
wooden handle of the bellows, there
hung the son Of Erin, his eyes starting
from their sockets and his cheeks dis
tended and crimson, blowing as if for
dear life into the end Of that long
wooden handlei
The anecdote Of the exsailor blower
is not so funny, but it is in keeping.

NAPOLEON AT ST. HELENA.
His Views on the Precautions Taken
tn Prevent His Eacane

His Views on the Precautions Taken
to Prevent His Escape.
One Of the extracts from DR.. O'Mea-
ra's st. Helena diary. in The Century
records Napoleon's views on the pre-
cautions taken to prevent his escape.
He spoke anew about escaping and
said that if he was inclined to try it,
which he was not, there were 95
chances in 100 against his effecting it.
But" said he, this jailer every week
imposes new and vexatious restrictions
upon me, just as if 1 was in a place
where l had nothing to do but to step
into boat and be away. When l was
at Elba, it was different 1t is true
that while one lives there is a chance
Of escape. Although ironed and chain
ed down, inclosed in a cell of stone and
every human precaution taken against
a possibility of it, still there is a chance
of escape, and the only way to prevent
1t is to put me to death.
This is the only sure way. Let him
put me to death, and all uneasiness on
the part of the European powers, Lord
Castlereagh himself and his govern
ment will cease. No more expense
then; no more squadrons to watch me
or poor soldiers. fatigued to death with
pickets and guards or harassed with
carrying burdens up those precipices.
l am sure those poor devils have rea-
son to hate me and wish my death.
They must, however, be conscious that
the fatiguing duties imposed upon
them are unnecessary and vexatious,
as the sight of the island must con-
vince every one but suspicious cog
lione that escape from it was nearly
impossible unless, as l have said be-
fore, that while there is life there is
chance, If attempted.
where could go to, allowing that l
got out Of the island? Every place l
could arrive at 1 would find enemies to-
seize me. This governors conduct will
soon be known in England and will not
procure him any credit there. Those
officers all will write an account of the
unnecessary rigor with which l am
treated and their opinion of it. The
newspapers will be full Of it.'

Difficulty Many of the Sex Have In

81 saw by paper last week that a
colored woman was excluded from tes-
tifying in court because she didn't
know her right hand from her left and
was therefore esteemed too ignorant
for her evidence to be of any value"
said an observant man yesterday
"Now, do you know don't believe one
woman out of six knows her right
hand from. her left without stopping
to consider the matter.
'I was standing in the foyer Of a
theater the other day at a matinee
watching the audience, mostly femi-
nine, as it passed in. Well, each maid
handed her check to the usher, and he
called out First door to the right or

might be. With hardly an exception

PLAIN sAMANTHY ANN.

His ballads sing her pose.

Quite good enough to scan,
But what if your girls cognomen

Now, if 'twere Grace or Isabel
Or May, without doubt,
The muse would weave a mystic spell
And some way help him out,
But Pegasus will veer in fright,
Dismounting any man
Who dares an amorous verse indite
To plain Samanthy Ann.
There's Poe's Lenore and Burns Jean
For song were graceful themes,

And weave their fancied dreams,
