OAK STUMP AS A CANNON.

It Fired Projectile Through House
in Birmingham.
The residence of Coroner Paris in
the southwestern part of Birmingham,
Ala, was badly damaged yesterday
afternoon in most peculiar manner,
big hole being cut through one side
by shot from an old stump. During
the tornado which recently swept the
south side Of the city two huge trees
were blown down on the Paris place
and yesterday afternoon Coroner Paris
employed negro to remove the fallen
trees, which were 200 feet from the
house. The negro sawed the trees up
leaving the stumps cut off short and
partly buried in the ground. One Of
these stumps, a big oak affair, leaned
over, pointing directly toward the
house. The negro wanted to blow this
stump to pieces, and to this end he
bored a Pinch hole in it from the side
and then inserted stick of dynamite.
The hole was then closed up and the
charge exploded. With the explosion
of the dynamite the heart of the oak

non ball and flew straight for the
house, striking it broadside and boring
huge hole through the wall. The
stump was uninjured, except that the
heart was removed, and after the ex-
plosion it stood pointing its "muzzle''
at the house like huge piece of artil-
lery. No one was hurt, the room in
which the oaken shot fell after passing
through the wall being unoccupied for
the moment.-Atlanta News.

EVILS OF EATING ALONE.
Dyspepsia Shown to BE Incrsasing ~
Marriage 10 Deferred.

Dyspepsia Shown to BE IncreasinE ~
| Marriage 10 Deferred.
| AT a time like the present, when the
marrying age of the average man Of
middle class is being more and moro
postponed, the physical ills of bache-
lordom come increasingly under the mo-
tice Of the medical man. It Is not
good for man or woman to live alone.
Indeed, 1t has been we'll said that for
solitude to be successful man must
| be either angel or devil. This refers
perhaps mainly to the moral aspects
of isolation, and with these we have
now 10 concern. There are certain
physical ills, however, which are not
the least among the disadvantages of
! loneliness. OF these there is many a
clerk in London, many young bar
rister, rising perhaps, but not far
enough risen; many business man or
| journalist, who will say that one Of the
most trying features of his unmarried
life is to have to eat alone. And a
premature dyspepsia is the only thing
| ever takes him to his medical man.
There are some few happily disposed
individuals who can dine alone and
| not eat too fast nor too much nor too
little. With the majority it is differ
ent. The average man puts his novel
or his paper before him and thinks
| that he will lengthen out the meal
with due elaboration by reading lit
tie with, and more between, the
courses. He will just employ his mind
enough to help and too little to inter-
fere with digestion. In fact, he will
provide that gentle mental accompani-
ment which with happier people con-
versation gives to meal. This is
your solitary's excellent idea. In real
ity he becomes engrossed in what he is
reading till suddenly finding his chop
cold he demolishes it in few mouth
fuls; or else he finds that he is hun
cry and paying no attention to the
book, which he filings aside, he rushes
through his food as fast as possible to
plunge into his arm chair and litera-
ture afterward. In either case the
lonely man must digest at disad-
vantage. Certainly it is not good to
eat and drink alone. It is a sad fact
of our big cities that they hold hun
| dreds of men and women who in the
day are too busy and at night too lonely
to feed with profit, much less with any
pleasure.-From the Lancet.

Masquerndins in the Past.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries Venice set the fashion in all
matters Of amusement, and was sort
Of combination of our Monte Carlo and
Paris. Throughout the eighteenth CEN
fury the Venetians- were seized with a
perfect mania for masquerading and
gambling Paris and London followed
suit, and the two most popular amuse-
ments. both public and private, were
masquerading and gambling saloons.
People not only wore their masks or
visors at balls. but in the Mall and the
parks and the theaters. At length
matters got to such pass that when a
police raid was made at a certain loose
dancing place in Soho, and an order
was given for everyone to unmaslS,
what was the amazement of the police
to find that at least third of the COM
pany consisted of ladies and gentlemen
Of the highest aristocracy, some of
whom had even brought their daugh-
tiers to an entertainment, which, to use
the words Of a contemporary, was "a
disgrace for n female even of the low
est class, to attend. saturday Re-

CHAPTER VIII.

These words seemed to be forced
from the French maids lips against
her will, and when she had spoken
them something like CONFUSION
passed over her face.
ooh, madam, madam, pardon me-"
she cried, clasping hey hands and turn
ing to Clarice. II cannot help it

There is no harm done by telling the
TRUTH" Clarice answered, coldly; then
added, addressing the detective: "What
the girl has said is quite true. She
always regarded it as an ornament-in
my veil when she dressed me this morn
ing. I bade her do so.'
will you allow me to question your
maid somewhat further, madam? I as
sure you my questions are dictated en-
tirely by my desire to gain some clue to
Mr. Grayson's murderer"
"You are at liberty to ask any ques-
tions you please, SIR" Clarice an
swered.
averted her gaze from the waiting
maids eyes, and her hands were
clasped closely together, as If in the
effort to conceal her agitation.
Detective Hantlin again directed his
remarks to the French maid.
How long have you been In this
lady's service?" he asked.
What lady?" the maid asked, in a
tone that certainly sounded insolenr
though it might have been adopted only
to gain time.
At the same time she studiousls

Man Who Took All the STRAWBERRY

Man Who Took All the Strawberries.
Walden, the artist, was at dinner the
other night. He is tall, thin, red
bearded Yankee, who looks more like Fon
Qrixote than anyone has right to look.
To see him side by side with Whistler is
a liberal education. Whistler is cynical
and witty; he sparkles with epigrams and
jewels and then he is as dainty as an
able of the century before last. An inn
pressicnistic portrait of him need show
only his incredulous ,eyeglass, the tuft of
white hair and one slim, ieweled hand
making gesture of apology. But Wal
den is calm, fortnight man, with too
much red beard and too much confidence
in his tailor's knowledge OF the way to
dress.
We were talking of England.
England" said Whistler, rules the
world simply because the Englishman
takes what he wants.
We were rapidly losing ourselves in a
fog of politics and national psychology.
when Mr.. Walden lifted part OF his red
mcustachc, and said: That's right, all
right"
1t was the first time he had spoken that
evening, so we stopped our arguments and
listened. Calmly and slowly he sail. II
was down at Cernay last summer-with
Fla ulkner-painting. You know the little
tavern there and the old woman who
keeps it. There was an Englishman who
sat next to me at the table. Well, the
landlady gave us Strawberries one night
for supper. For dollar day that was
pretty good. The servant girl passed the
Strawberries round. When it came the
Englishmans turn to help himself he
emptied the whole dish Of Strawberries

II understand. One must speak by

II have always understood that one
must be careful in answering detect
ievs and lawyers" Lconce interrupted,
sharply.
Just So" Hantin returned. quietly.
This time he might have turned the
laugh on MIR. Baldwin, but he forebore
to do SO. He saw the lawyer might be
of assistance to him In the future, and
he preferred to make friend of him
instead of an enemy.
"rhen, IL understand correctly, you
were in the service of Miss Mowbray
before she became Mrs. Grayson:"
Yes, for ten days."
| "yVere you engaged by the lady who
| was afterwards your mistress or ny
Mr.. Grayson?"
II was engaged by Mr.. Grayson, sub
ject, of course, to the lady's approval.
If I did not give satisfaction, was to
leave at the end of weeks trial."
TT is to be supposed, then, that you
gave satisfaction?"
"I suppose so. My mistress is pres
ent, monsieur. Perhaps madam Will
kindly answer that question:"
| The girl turned anxiously toward
Mrs. Grayson as she spoke. The de-
tective also directed an inquiring
glance in the same direction; but be-
fore he could repeat his inquiry into
words, Clarice FASTENED to answer:
II have no fault to find with my maid.
She had shown herself competent,
good-tempered, and of pleasant and
agreeable manners" .
The French woman thanked her mis-
tress with look full Of gratitude.
The detective continued, questioning
the maid:
"How long had you been acquainted
with Mr. Grayson before you were ap-
pointed waiting maid to Miss Now
bray?"
II had never seen Mr. Grayson until
the morning I answered his ADVERTISE
ment. came here, as the advertise
ment directed; and, on being engaged,
I went at once to the house of Miss
Mowbray, where I lived in attendance
on my mistress, till 1 came here this
morning"
"Were you to have gone to Europe
with your mistress, If nothing had &C.
Cured to postpone or interrupt the
travelling arrangements"
The French woman's glance wavered
and dropped uneasily beneath that OF
the detective. She glanced toward
Clarice, and faint color came to her
pale face.
But, after momentary hesitation.
she answered:
IT was not to have accompanied my
mistress. Madam preferred to travel
without maid"
"Ah, then you were about to leave
Mrs. Grayson's service soon?"
The flush deepened on the French
woman's face. She was on the point
of losing her temper, and answered, al
most sharply:
IT was not about to leave madam's
service I had duties appointed that
would have fully occupied me during
her absence"
A CLEAN of light shot into the de-
tective's keen eye. He did not inquire
what the duties were, the question
would only serve to put the waiting
maid on her guard. He might find out
what those duties were in some other
way.
