THE SPLASHING HOUSE.
A French Yarn That Was Printed to
Ridicule EnEiishmen.

One of the most extraordinary tales
ever invented about Englishmen by
foreigners was the "splashing house"
story, given to the world by the Paris
journal Patrie in 1868. An ingenious
writer in the paper gravely Informed
his readers that in the suburbs of Lon
don were houses where "earth beaten
up into mud is retailed." To these
houses men were accustomed to resort
in hunting kit for the purpose of being
splashed with mud.
"These curious establishments are
provided with muds of different coun-
ties, but principally of those counties
where the hunting is best. The sale of
the mud is conducted in the most Sc
riOus manner imaginable; the attend
ant inquiries, From what county, sir,
do you wish it to be supposed you have
just returnedY From the county of
Kent The pretended sportsman there
upon takes a seat on Il wooden horse
whose legs throw up the selected mud;
after having been well splashed the
customer pays his bill e shillings).
casts an eye of appreciation toward the
mirror, takes whip in his hand and
goes to exhibit his muddy clothes in
Piccadilly, Bond street or Pail Mall,
in order that it may be supposed that
he has just returned from grand
hunt"
In addition to the chance Of marry
Ing an heiress which this remarkable
display of dirty clothes confers on
their wearer says the French news
paper man, the patron of the splash
ing house" has another more mme-
date advantage. ''rhe mud with
which he is splashed affords, if not
proof, strong presumptive evidence
that he is landed proprietor in the
county whose mud bespatters him."
And landed proprietors being held in
vast esteem as solvent and desirable
creditors. the man can obtain anything
he likes at any shop on credit.
One wonders whether such wonder
full tale finds any believers among
those who read it.-LondOn Live Stock

The Mohammedans have a fable
which they repeat to illustrate the GER
tainty of fate. The Philadelphia Times
quotes it as having been told by Mr..
Robert Barr, the celebrated novelist.
A sultan was once asked by his ia
vorite, the grand vizier. for permission
to leave at once for Smyrna, although
q brilliant court fete was then in prog
ress Upon being asked his reason for
such haste the vizier replied:
Because just saw the angel of
death yonder in the crowd. He looked

who then beckoned to the angel and
asked why the latter had looked so
earnestly at the viZicr.

JUMPING THE DEER.

Jumping a deer" is a highly attrac-

also intensely satisfactory to the chap
who always has to shave before WOO

of all the sights of the woods-deer

MAD ANTHONY" WAYNE.
He Was the Sanest, Coolest Soldier
In WashingtOn's Army.

John r. Spears in Harper's demon
strates that General Wayne, commonly
known as mad Anthony" was in
reality the sancst, coolest soldier in
Washington's army.
"They called the hero of Stony Point
and the Maumee rapids Mad Anthony
Wayne" says Mr.. Spears. 1.-The title
was originated by an Irish soldier who
had been confined in the guardhouse at
the order Of the general, and it was
taken up by the people because of the
wild enthusiasm and determination
with which Wayne led his men when
the supreme moment Of battle came.
But observe that when the war of the
Revolution impended he 'ransa cked his
tory for accounts of battles that he
might learn military tactics, and he
gave his days to the training Of his
neighbors. At Stony Point he led his
men in spite of his wound, but in pre-
pairing for the battle he appealed to
the pride of his men by parading them
clean shaved and with hair well pow
dered,' while the prelaid plans includ-
ed even the slaughter of the dogs, that
no yelp should betray the approach Of
the assaulting host. When in Virginia.
he charged the hosts of CORVALLIS
with only 500 men to back him; when
in Ohio where the honor of the nation
and the integrity of its territory We're
committed to his care. he took a legion
of boys and miscreants' gathered from
the slums and trained them until their
skill with the musket equaled, if it did
not surpass, that of the most noted
backwoods Indian fighters.
Mad Anthony Wayne as a leader
in battle was unsurpassed, but it
should also be remembered that his
record as drill master is unequaled"
