A Genial Encounter.

The tsar's last visit to France has
filed the French papers with reminis-
cences of his former stay.
One day he drove incOgnito to the
house Of LOubet, then president Of the
senate, and while his companion went
in to announce the visit. he amused
himself by putting his head out of the
window and looking at the people who
passed.
A whistling street boy approached
and recognized him, In spite of the
plainness of his eQuipage.. He stopped,
took off his cap and said, cheerfully,
Good day, sir! How is the empressY'
The tsar was naturally surprised, but
he replied, with a smile:
Thanks, young man. The empress
is quite well, and has enjoyed the trip
very much"
The boy seemed glad to hear 1t. nod
ded and went whistling away. The
tsar said, in telling the story, that he,
thus cordially accosted, was the only
one of the two to be embarrassed.

HE WOKE UP A SLEEPY TOWN.
How a Commercial Traveller Had Fun
with the Bald Headed Men.

With the balo-Headed Men.
One of the most notable features of
certain little Western town l used
to cover was its extraordinary number
OF bald-headed men," said the CONNER
cial traveller, who would rather lose an
order than fail in perpetrating a prac-
teal joke. Preacher and people, rich
and poor, all had heads like billiard
balls. 1t was dull town, so one night
when a vaudeville troupe was billed
for the place l regarded it as a golden
opportunity to have some fun. had
met the company in my travels-a fly
by-night show, with ballet that was
choice assortment of animated ca
davers.
Il went to the opera house and
bought up the front row, twenty seats
circling round the stage, which
stamped Not Transferable Then l
picked out twenty Of the baldest men
in that bald-headed community and
spent the day circulating those inter-
esting bits of pasteboard. l had reg
ular lingo. like this:
Going to the show tonight?
az dun know
"'Well, you'd better go. It's a good
thing. Here's a complimentary ticket
I'd like to give you If you will surely
go, for you see it's not transferable
"Of course, every victim was wild
to get something for nothing, so l nail
ed my men hard and fast. The town
had the usual quota of small boys, and
just before the play began l filed the
gallery with them. Everything went
beautifully. My twenty baldheads sat
in an unbrokea circle around the stage;
the gallery was damned with young
sters who thoroughly understood their
part Of the drama.
Then l took my seat where they
could all see me. After the usual pre-
amble by the orchestra the ballet put
in an appearance and swung into line
"a scrawny crowd of superannuated
dancers. The leader stood with up
lifted baton, and the ballet was wait
ing for the signal. At this moment l
raised my hand, and from the gallery
came the believing chorus:
'Baldheads to the 'front.'
'In an instant the audience Of slow
witted people caught on as they saw
that circle Of baldheads around the
stage. The orchestra had a hard time
trying to keep track of the tune; the
ballet tied themselves into hard knots,
and the gallery gods sent out deafen-
ing tempest Of bowls and cat calls.
Each one Of the baldheads looked
at his fellow and grew red and wrathy.
Then they laughed as only bald headed
men can laugh, and l knew there was
no necessity for me to sneak out of
town. Again the house went wild, and
the orchestra nearly smashed their in
struments before the pandemonium
ceased 1t broke up the everlasting
calm Of that town. The story spread
to every surrounding hamlet; business
doomed, orders were doubled, and ev-
cry time went there the boys set 'em
up l was awfully popular. but never
again could induce any one to accept
a complimentary ticket to a show"

Rats Caught In Numbers by an In
genious Means.
Rats are very susceptible to the odor
Of certain drugs, and any ordinary trap
set In their haunts is likely to be sue

attraction Of which, rat catchers affirm,
they cannot resist. An example is:
Powdered assafetida, eight grains; oil
Of rhodium, two drains; oil of aniseed,
one dram; oil Of lavender, one-half
dram. Shake together In bottle and
use very small quantity to dress the
bait.
To catch rats, cover common barrel
with stiff, stout paper, tying the edge
round the barrel. Place board so that
the rats may have easy access to the
top. Sprinkle cheese parings or other
food for the rats on the paper for sew
eral days until they begin to think that
they have right to their daily rations
from this source. Then place In the
bottom Of the barrel piece Of rock
about six or seven inches high. filling
with water until only enough Of 1t
projects above the water for one rat to
lodge upon.
Now replace the paper, first cutting a
cross in the middle, and the first rat
that comes on the barrel top goes
through into the water and climbs on
the rock. The paper comes back to its
original position, and the second rat
follows the first. Then begins fight

what a bureau Really Is.

When parchment was used for writ
ing and when ,bookbinding was in its
infancy and bound book was costly
luxury, 1t was the custom to place the
book on a piece Of cloth or strip Of
wool In order to prevent the binding
from possible damage on the rough
wood Of the table. Those who had to
deal with money also had a strip Of
cloth on the table or counter so that
the coins should not roll. This strip
was called bureau"
In course of time the custom chang
ed, and the same word was applied to
the writing table covered with green
or other colored cloth and at length de-
seconded to the modern table with the
center protected by leather. AS an Of
fee contains one or more Of these ia
bles 1t is not difficult to understand
that the name should, In one country,

tained the bureau.-London Standard.

Climbing Animals.

Dogs often have to be trained to
climb stairs, instinctively distressing
the upper stories. 1t has been conjec-
tured that this is because the dogs
forelegs break easily below the shout
der, and the beast seems to realize this.
The fox has no such fear and has been
known to climb a tree with plenty of
small limbs to the height Of seventeen
feet. Swimming comes easier than
climbing to most animals as well as to
many races of men. Rats and guinea
pigs can swim well and do not climb at
all.
Bears can climb well IL little, but the
grizzly and other large species stay
mainly on the ground. A bear always
climbs down tree backward, as does
the domestic cat until she has nearly
reached the ground. when she turns
and jumps, but most wild cats run
down trunk head first, even the heavy
leopard being a more skillful climber
than the light house cat. The tiger
and lion. however, do not climb. for no
discoverable reason unless 1t be that
they fear falling on account of their
weight.
