Amours of Primo. George.

Prince George of Greece, who is
now serving as governor of the island
of Crete, is having a hard time with
his love affairs. In the first place he
is said to be deeply in love with two
women at the same time. In the Sec
ond place, it appears almost certain
that he will never be able to marry
either n of them. One of the young
women in question is the Princess
Victoria of Wales, with whom, even If
no family objections were raised, his
marriage is forbidden by the laws OF
the Greek church, as she is an own
cousin of the young prince. The other
young woman is the beautiful French
actress and dancer, German Gallois,
who is now performing at the Varie-
ties in Paris. That Prince George is
not alone in thinking that German
Gallois is beautiful is shown by the
fact that she was this year awarded
the modern apple Of Paris as the most
beautiful woman of France. She is
said to have a perfect figure, with a
creamy, complexion, big gray eyes
and shining red brown hair. Prince
George comes often to Paris, and never
fails to call at the Varieties to see the
pretty actress.-Chicago Tribune.

Fought When the Truth Was Told.
When Gen. Grant was president
says a Washington man, a friend OF
his from the west called to zee him,
One day, just after leaving the white
house, this friend fell in with q fellow
westerner in the white house grounds
and a heated encounter took place,
which suddenly terminated by the gen
erals friend knocking the other mar
down and out. The matter was hushed
up. but the general, naturally indig-
nant, called his friend to account, say.
ing. John, you've treated me and the
Office I hold with much discourtesy.
Why did you do such a thing??" 'Well
it was this way, general" replied the
now thoroughly penitent one. "you
know there was bad blood between us
and he had set all sorts of stories go.
ing about me. Just after leaving you
I ran into him. and he at once accused
me of doing q certain thing. AS II
was a lie, I only laughed at him. Then
he accused me Of something else, and
that being also q lie, ] jeered at him
again, but his third accusation was
true, and by CAD, sir, I couldn't stand
that, SO I knocked him down."

Now, there is n Of them who lives

Il have very often heard of the won
derful phosphorescence of southern
SEAS" remarked a traveller from the
north, and I have seen some pretty
lair samples Of it in the Atlantic be-
tween New York and English ports,
but did not know that it prevailed to
any extent in northern waters until
during the past summer. In August
last l was on board the revenue cutter
McCulloch, in the Boring sea, about 63
degrees north latitude, bound north,
when one night about 10 o'clock I hap
pened to go on deck, and I was almost
frightened by the sight of the sea.
The wind was blowing sharp, enough
to raise the whitecaps, and the whole
sea looked as If it were lighted from its
depths by a million arc lights throw
ing the whitest rays upward and under
the flying foam. The hollows of the
waves were dark, but every crest that
broke showered and sparkled as if it
were filled with light. From the sides
OF the ship great rolls of broken white
light fell away, and she left a broad
pathway of silvery foam as far back as
the eye could reach. But about this
hour there was a most striking display.
Here it was as If the ship were plow-
ing through a sea Of white light, and
as the water was thrown back from
her PROV it fell in glittering piles of
light upon the dark surface beyond,
and was driven far down below, light
ing the depths as if all the electricity
of the ocean were shooting it's sparkles
through the waves and turning itself
into 1nnumerable i~ncandescents that
flashed a second and then shut out for
ever. I stood on the f%orecastle deck
looking down into the brilliant white
turmoil of the waters until I began to
feel as If We We're afloat upon some sill
yer sea, and a really uncanny feeling
took possession Of me-. The white ship
was lighted by the phosphorescence of
the waters. SO that as high up as the
deck there was a pale, weird white,
that made n feel as If the Flying
Dutchman' were abroad upon the seas
and had just passed us. The masts
lowered in ashy gray above the decks,
and every rope and line stood out
distinctly in the light, but cast no
shadows. It was all as ghostly as If
we had gone up against the real thing,
and it was a positive relief to get back
into the wardroom, where there was
something more human. I don't know
how long it lasted, but when I went
to bed at II o'clock I could still see the
silver shining through the air portfolio
in my stateroom. Star.

In a fashionable street in the west

to ruin himself he was noted for his
taste in dress. Now he charges a reg

buttons they should have on their

two guineas paid in advance receive
the most careful information and in

to his lordship direct, but to another
man, who used to be a captain in the
Lancer regiment, and has now &C.

of the firm, as we'll as the cashier. The
noble proprietors Of the tailoring shop
do not put their real names on their

lord, who has several milkshops, puts
his name and title across the shop

net who is a pawnbroker. Several

AVOID STEPPING UPON CRACKS

Peculiarly of Many People When Walk.
Ing Along tho Pavements.
From the Philadelphia Record: ~
wonder why it u.s." said a quick OBJ
server the other day, "that nine peo-
pie out Of every ten in walking along
the sidewalk invariably try to avoid
stepping upon the cracks or divisions
in between the tagging? Now, for in
stance, If the divisions are made so
that an ordinary mans step would
measure about two-thirds of the width
of n section Of the tagging, he would
naturally take about three steps in
crossing two of them. But instead Of
making the three steps Of the same
length and setting n foot down upon
the seam, you will find that he will
invariably take a step either a little
longer or a little shorter than is really
most convenient, just to enable him
to avoid stepping upon the crack or
seam. It seems to be done almost I'M
consciously, and yet If on the next
square the size of the division in the
pavement is changed, you will notice
that almost invariably the pedestrian
adapts his steps to the new arrange
ment, and still continues to avoid the
cracks. Children used to play a game
called poison on their way to school.
The game consisted entirely in care
fully avoiding stepping upon a stone
or some other material selected by the
leader to be designated as poison to
set foot upon which was supposed to BIZ
followed by direful consequences.
Whether the habit of looking where
you step thus acquired is continued
by those who now try to avoid cracks
I cannot say, but IL you notice you
will find that many people who walk
are addicted to the habit here de-
scribed."
