Froiics of Milwaukee Carnival.

The closing day of the Milwaukee Car
nival, June %, will be the day of fun and
frolic. In the afternoon the Funny
mans Parade will be feature to at
tract thousands of people and create
merriment without bounds The Car
nival day parade of year ago was funny
but it will sink into insignifcance in
comparison with the ludicrous features
that will be introduced this year by the
various clubs that are arranging to par
ticipate. The costume ball at the Ex-
position in the evening will be fitting
climax to the festivities of the week and
set another high mark for other Carni-
walls the country over to try to approach.

On Tuesday evening, May 22nd, at
Royal Hall, the celebrated organization
"The Schumans', will give one of their
famous entertainments. In speaking of
them the News and Observer of Raleigh,
N. c., has the following to say:
Like burst of sunshine on dreary
day, like the song of birds at night, like
a spring in barren desert or flowers on
the bleak mountain side, so, in the mad
rush of busy world, is such a concert
as that heard at Metropolitan Hall last
night. 1t is not pretentious troupe,
this Schumann Concert Company, but
the entertainment they give is as perfect
as it is modest. The four pretty girls
VINO compose the company must have
had great confidence in the theatre going
public and in their ingenuity to fancy
that they could work out an evenings
entertainment from one violin a piano, a
harp, rich contralto voice and a charm
ing impersonator. But the event fully
justified their trust. In last nights con-
cert there were moments of real delight,
and those who heard it can but desire to
repeat their visit. And just exactly what
for, one can hardly say There's the
ethereal music of the violin in the hands
of Miss Agnes Pringle, the splendid i'm
presentations of Miss Bolkcom, the clear
notes of Miss Caborn or the harp play
ing of Miss Tarrant. All novel and de-
lightfully fascinating, and any of them
sufficient to take the wrinkles out of your
forehead and send you on your way
home humming as though you were in
live."

When the Hon eats grass like an OK,
And the lshworm swallows the whale.
When the robin knits wooden socks,
And the hare is outrun by the snail.
When sea-serpents stand upright like

And the doolle-bugs travel like frogs,
When the gFassnoppess feed ,iae the hen.
And feathers are found on hogs
When Thomas cats swim through the

And elephants roost on trees,
When insects in summer are rare,
And snuff never makes people sneeze.
When fish creep over dry land,
And mules on velocipedes ride.
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dress take no pride.
When Dutchmen no longer drink beer,
And girls 20 to preaching on time,
When Billy-goats butt from the rear,
And treason no longer is crime
When humming birds bray like an ASS,
And limberger smells like cologne,
When plowShares are made out OF glass,
And the hearts OF true Democrats ot

When ideas grow in Hanna's head,
And wool on the hydraulic ram;
Then will the Democratic party be dead.
And the country not worth a -.

Bound For Heaven.

Some time ago one Of Arkansas
most widely known statesmen, who Is
now dead, was passing along a street
in Little Rock when an old colored
man who had once belonged to him ap-
preached, took off his hat and passed
a hand over his white wool as he
asked
"Marster, gin de ole man fifty
cents p
dan, you are robber." ="
Glow ?" asked the astonished dark
ey, opening his eyes, around which
rough shod age had walked.
Didn't you see me put my hand
into my pocket ?"
"Yes, sab. ="
well, you old rascal, you rob me
of the pleasure of giving you money
without being asked"
The old man received a dollar.
Bowing almost to the ground, while
tears came out and coursed through
the age prints around bis eyes, he re-
piled
Master, wild such heart as you
hab, and wid Abraham and Isaac and
de Lord on your side, l can't see what
can keep you out of heaben.'

The New Danger of courting.

Young Smiffkins was somewhat
surprised, but highly-.ela when he
received a polite invitation from old
Scroggins to come up and take & crust
which meant dinner-and that, too,
when he spent the very evening before
in the sweet society of Miss Matilda
Jane Scroggins. Itis needless to say
that he was promptly on hand.
{ Matilda Jane, said the old gen.
tleman, when dinner was over, did
you ever hear the phOnOgraph in ac-
tive operation?"
No, pa, but should like to, " an
swered the maiden, who wished to hu-
NOR her parents scientific weakness
"Well, my dear, you shall. You
will find it under the sofa in the front
parlor. l forgot to take it up stairs
last night when left you and Sniff
kins conversing on church festivals.
Matilda brought the machine, and
the old man wound it up, remarking
that be had set it just before going to
bed.
The family circle and one or two of
Scroggins' ctouies, who happened to
be present, listened with great deal
ofinterest as it began to slowly revolve,
Thank Heaven the old devils
gone at last" exclaimed the phono-
graph in tones that sounded amazing
ly like those of Smiffkins.
81 thought the hateful old thing
would set up all night" continued
the wonderful invention in voice
that was unmistakably that of Matilda
Jane.
"Well, my own darling, We'll make
up for lost time Yum-Yum p ejac-
ulated the revolving cylinder, with a
pronounced Smiffkins accent.
ooh, don't darling You mustn't !
Yum-yum r. it proceeded in the tone
Of Matilda Jane.
After that the instrument grew IN
coherent and mixed up, as 1t were.
A subbued osculatory sound, mingled
with deep-drawn sighs and occasional
whispered protests in the Matilda
Jane voice were all that could be dis
tinguished, till it suddenly blurted
out:
well, suppose old Scrog will be
coming down stairs with a club unless
l clear out. -
Another silence, broken by yumS
and then in a softer voice the cylinder
concluded
There, you must 90 low. Good
yum-night yum - yum. ! will
make the old beast ask you to dinner
to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
By this time Matilda Jane had
tainted and Smifkins face looked like
a green cheese, but old Scroggins
gazed upon them grimly, after the
fashion Of a craven image, and the
rest Of the company seemed to be
rather amused than otherwise.
Smifkins bought mountain how
itzer next day and went East to look
for Edison.

What To Do In Emergencies.

If woman's dress is suddenly en-
veloped in flames, instead Of running
to her or out Of the house speak dis
tinctly and commandingly, "Lie
down and roll over !" Meanwhile
catch up rug or drag off bed blank
ct, throw it over the person and then
proceed to wrap her up closely in it /;
this is more certain and speedy ex-
tinguisher than water, is more accessi-
bic and entirely safe to the person CIV
ing aid.
If a person fajnts away loosen the
clothing, push the crowd away SO as
to allow the air to reach him and let
him alone. Dashing water over per-
son in a simple fainting fit is a barbar-
ity and soils the clothes unnecessarily.
The philosophy of a fainting fit is the
heart fails to send the proper supply
Of blood to the brain. If the person
is erect that blood has to be thrown
up hill, but if lying down it has to be
projected horizontally, which requires
less power.
If person swallows a poison, de-
iberately or by chance, dispatch some
one for doctor; meanwhile run to
the kitchen, get half glass of water
in anything that is handy, put into it
a teaspoonful of salt and as much
ground mustard, stir it an instant,
catch a firm hold of the persons nose,
the mouth will soon fly open, then
down with the mixture and in Sec
ond or two up will come the poison.
This will answer in a larger number
of cases than any other. If by this
time the physician has not arrived
make the patient swallow the white of
an egg, followed by cup of strong
coffee, because these nullify a larger
number Of poisons than any other ac-
cessible articles as antidotes for any
poison remaining in the stomach.
If a limb or other part of the body
is severely cut and the blood comes
out in spurts or jerks be in hurry or
the man will be dead in five minutes.
There is no time to talk or send for
physician. Say nothing, out with your
handkerchief, throw it around the
limb, tie the two ends together, put
stick through them, twist it around,
tighter and tighter, until the blood
ceases to flow. But stop 1t does no
good. Why? Because only a sew
cred artery throw out blood in Jets,
and the arteries get their blood from
the heart. Hence to stop the flow the
remedy must be applied between the
heart and the wounded spot-in other
words, above the wound. If a vein
had been severed the blood would
have flowed in a regular stream and
slowly, and, on the other hand, the
tie should be applied below the wound
or on the other side of the wound
from the heart, because the blood in
the veins flows towards the heart, and
there is no need of such great hurry.
