him strutting around and making a
magnificent display of his gorgeous

over to where gobbler was quietly nap

engaged for a moment in earnest con-
versation. Then Mr.. Gobbler straight

tail feathers. Madame gave a con-

A German statistieian has come to
the rescue of those persons who do not
share the widespread superstition that
Friday is the most unlucky day of the
week A short time ago he determined
to make scientific investigation of
the question, utilizing for the purpose,
among other things, the records of the
department of compulsory insurance.
The most fatal or unfortunate week
day, according to the investigator, is
not Friday, but Monday. Sixteen and
seventy-four hundredths per cent of all
accidents. it seems, occurred on that
day, 1851 per cent on Tuesday, 1881
per cent on Wednesday, 15.47 per cent
on Thursday, 1888 per cent on Friday,
the same on Saturday and 2.69 per cent
on Sunday. 1t is interesting. however,
to know that the compiler attributes
the large relative number of accidents
on Monday to 1.-The excessive amount of
liquor consumed on Sunday. STRAY

Great quantities of crabs and lob
sters are annually canned in Russia,
vet oysters are in little favor, and
frogs legs are regarded with horror.
A woman who sold large quantities OF
crabs, upon being asked for some
frogs legs, replied that she would
not touch one of the horrid things for
a ruble." Wherever there is water IN
Russia the frogs abound In such guam
titles that one is reminded of the no.
blemen of other days who used to send
their slaves out to beat the marshes,
SO that they could sleep. Russians
never eat rabbits, as they say they
nest with rats, nor will they touch
snails or turtles. which are found in
great numbers all over the country.
Only the aristocrats eat kidneys, and
then only those of the sheep and lamb.
Goose flesh is little esteemed, though
the fat is used for culinary purposes.

She Is Learned In the Mysteries OF

The Lady BARRIERS association-the
eleven years. says the Pail Mall Ga
zette. Its present address is 655 Chan
Gerry lane. and its latest proprietor
Nine. st. Quentin, who has been in
possession since June last. She is
charming and accomplished lady
learned in the mysteries OF hypnotic
influence and has even views on Budd-
ha. In response to the invitation con-
tained in the announcement that ma
dame was at home, coupled with the
pasenthetical promise OF tea, the writer
descended to the pleasant basement
room, with the electric lamps dinus-
ing brightly warm color through the
crimson shades, and beheld the priest
esses of the razor performing the Gus
tomary rites upon various stubbly and
upturned masculine chins. 1t seemed
so entirely pleasant a process that the
writer remembered with a secret joy
that he had not shaved that morning.
Presently it was his turn, and. plac-
ing his head upon the pad. he suffered
himself to be lathered and prepared
for sacrifice. To be shaved by deft-
handed woman is almost a magical
process. There is none of the "slish-
slashing" OF the gentleman whom
bountiful nature intended to be
hedge carpenter. No, no. There is
something smooth and gliding over
ones cheek, with here and there the
light pressure of delicate fingers, and
presto, one energies with chin that
is equal without shadow Of depreca-
ton to every domestic and ante-mari-
tai demand upon it.

DR.. Bridge, the organist of West
minister Abbey, is jocularly known as
Westminster Bridge He is one of
the funny men of the English musical
profession, says Tid-Bits. Some time
ago he went to open a new organ in
the country. After he had finished his
recital, one of the music committee
asked him how he liked the instru-
ment. The action was very stiff and
heavy, and DR.. Bridge told him SO.
"Oh, wellr' was the reply. ''our organ
list is very strong young man. The
exercise will do him good" DR..
Bridges house is in the old Lifting
ton tower of the abbey, and he sleeps
in the old prior's bedroom, date 1864.
Mrs. Bridge is charming and accom-
plished lady, niece of the late Baron
Amphlett. She and her husband are
both very fond of fishing. There is an
annual competition between them for
the biggest fish; but Mrs. Bridge has
been cautious since she learned that
before putting his fish on the scales
he had pumped good bit Of lead
down its throat.

Some Families spcnd Their Tiun0 e.
Their Anchored Yachts.
A wet sheet and flowing sea has
nothing whatever - do with life
aboard yacht, as e1emplified in the
Bay Ridge Yacht Basin, in South
brooklyn. says the New York HERALD.
There are FIVE or six yachts there, one
OF them a roomy schooner craft, which
for various reasons are not in commits
sion this summer. Nevertheless the
owners and their families or their
friends live and sleep on board. On
one sloop are five young men. who go
TO skyscraper building in Nassau
street every morning and take out
two Oh three vlvacious typewriter
girls when work is over to make
the evenings merry. They rented
the boat on condition that they
would not take her outside the
basin, and hired retired sea cap
tain. who lives near the basin. to
look after the boat during the day
and to mess" for them. They find IT
cheaper than paying board in the city.
and ever 80 much pleasanter. Three
families wintered on yachts in the Bay
Ridge basin last winter. and they en-
1oyed the experiment SO much that
they talk Of trying it again. The bliz-
card and the rough weather had no
terrors for them. One sloop, the Peri,
was housed above decks very much like
those in the tales we read about Arc
tic expeditions. The families who lived
| In this way were on terms OF sociabil-
ity and visited every night for games
and cards. They gave a boat party
| In January, and their friends In
| Brooklyn who are given to assisting
at social entertainments. Joined them
in a modest little vaudeville. When
the basin was frozen solid one night
they gave skating party. with pip
ing hot supper below decks as wind
up. There are still novelties about for
persons who know where to look for
| them.
