CIGAR IN A CHEESE.
Singular Happening I'm n Paris shoN
Which Precipitated n Remark
able Battle.

There was an extraordinary occur
renee recently in a cheesemonger's
shop in the Avenue Parmentier, Paris,
relates Parsons Weekly. One of the
BRIDESMAIDS customers, who had in
vited FIVE friends to dinner, had pur-
chased a large cheese, and when it
was cut into the stump of half
smoked cigar was found in the mid
die. The host and his guests marched
round i'll body to the cheesemonger
to demand an explanation and the
return of the money or the substitu-
ton of another cheese, but the trades
man refused all three propositions,
and even suggested that they ought
to be satisfied, as they had not only
the cheese, but half cigar as well.
One of the guests then threatened
to report the cheesemonger for SELL
ing tobacco without permission. High
words followed, and at length the
customer picked up the offending
cheese and hurled it with correct
aim at the dealers head. A regular
battle ensued. The shopkeeper was
backed up by his wife and three as
sistants and the customer by his
friends. The counter was piled with
cheeses of various kinds, and these
were converted at once into missiles,
while the butter also came in handy.
The uproar attracted the attention OF
policeman, who arrived just as a
large Dutch cheese crashed through
the window and caught him on the
chest. When the officer had recov-
cred his breath he separated the com
batants and took them to the police
station, where they were discharged
with a caution.

MONEY GREW ON BUSHES.
Railway Section Gang In Nebrasks
Comes Upon = singular Find
by the Ro Idside.

The fairy tale of money growing
on bushes was lately realized along
the right Of way of the Burlington
railroad between Hyannis and ALI.
ance, says a Lincoln (Neb.) report.
A gang of section men were at
work, when one of them noticed
something that looked like bill way
ing from the tangled top of sun
flower growing by the roadside. He
investigated. 1t was treasury note
for $40.
He walked few steps farther and
there, nodding from a branch of bit
of dog fennel, was another bill of sim
liar denomination.
He called to his companions, and
the entire gang threw down their
tools and started on money hunt
For three hours they searched up and
down the right of way and far afield
At almost every yard their trou-
BILE. was rewarded by finding either
a five CT ten-dollar bill. Some bills
were tangled in the tops of weeds.
others half hidden in bushes along
the fence, and still Others in the
stubble of the field.
The entire days cleanup of the
eight was $2,135. When the find waa
reported, word came from headquar-
tiers that money pouch containing
$4,000 had been lost from an express
shipment the day before.
The supposition is that the bag fell
out of the open car door and was
ground to pieces under the wheels
and the contents were scattered to
the winds. This hypothesis is sup
ported by the later discovery of por.
tons Of the damaged pouch.

STUCK TO HIS EYEGLASS.
The English Diplomat Wore 1t, Even
When He Was Cnpsized In
the Sea.

Recently party from the embassies
at Constantinople went to inspect the
international lifeboat service on the
Black sea coast. AT one of the life
saving stations they thought they
would like to test the conditions of
life boat work, SO, clothing themselves
in bathing costumes and cork jackets,
they each took an oar in a lifeboat, to
the huge delight of the Turkish boat
men.
One of the secretaries of the British
embassy is never seen without an eye
glass, and is said even to sleep with it.
On this occasion he was faithful to his
eyeglass and solemnly embarked in a
cork jacket and eyeglass. All the prop
or exercises were gone through, and
finally the boat was capsized and
righted again by it's own crew. AS they
crept out from under the capsized boat
a howl of surprise came from the
Turks, for the secretary's head APP
peared, with the eyeglass firmly fixed
in its proper position, its owner TAX
ing it as matter Of course that IL
should be there

ONLY A LITTLE CLIP.
An Ingenious Device for Holding Pa
per, which Has Become Very
Popular.

A short time ago someone put on the
market an ingenious device for hold
ing sheets OF paper together. 1t took
the place of the pin, says the New York
Press. BY short time" Is meant a
matter of some five or six years. To-
day there are more than 20 different
kinds of clips, selling from 60 cents
per 1000 to rs cents per 100, and con-
siderable capital is invested in their
manufacture. The same general prin-
ciple Is followed in all, and it is as
sumed that each improvement Is pat
ented Corporations have been
formed to make nothing but clips, and
competition Is lively. The original
patentee will no doubt become n mil
lionaire, though he may make only one
cent on each 1000 sold. 1t is the sim
pie, dirt-cheap invention that brings
the big returns-something SO mex
pensive that all the millions OF US
want IL.

THE FRUIT PLETHORA.
Fine Apples Fed to the Pigs Because
of the Superabundant Product
of the Orchards.

Rarely, if ever, has there been such
superabundance of fruit as now
abounds in the New England orchards.
The limbs of the apple and pear trees
hang heavy under the weight of their
enormous yield, and the ground be-
meath the trees is covered with the de-
caying droppings. In some localities
fine apples may be had for the picking
and an offer of half q dollar a barrel
for the fruit on the Tree is eagerly ac-
cepted in the rural districts. Thou
sands of bushels are being fed to the
cattle and pigs and the cider mills are
glutted with raw material for the
presses. 1t seems pity to see such
a large quantity of fine fruit going to
waste. 1t is almost superfuous to Of
fer suggestion in the line of thought
ful philanthropy to DR.. Hale, but the
glutted condition of the orchards sug-
gests that it might be a good idea to
renew his farmers fruit Offering
scheme, which furnished such liberal
supply OF free fruit to the poor people
OF Boston when it was originally I'M
dertaken. Undoubtedly great many
bushels Of apples can now be had for

LOBSTER CLIMBS TREES.
Inland Sea Captures of the East In-
dia Islands That Are Fond OF
Cocoanuts.

In the East Indian islands is found
curious lobster which climbs trees. AL
though it prefers home on land it at
times feels longing for the water,
where it goes to moisten its gills; and
here the eggs are laid, and the young
are raised on the coast, where they
have the benefit of salt air, always
good for children. But most of their
time is spent inland, living at the roots
of trees where they have burrowed
deep hollows which they carpet lux
uriously with fibers stripped from CO.
coanuts.
They come out of these homes at
night to climb the palm trees, for al
though it seems funny to us, their
climbing is quite a serious business to
them, since it is in this way that they
secure the cocoanuts of which they are
SO fond and on which they live princi-
pally.
To get at the contents of the nut the
lobster first tears away the fiber which
covers the three eyes" (You must all
have noticed those black spots on one
end of cocoanut that makes it look
like the wierd face of a monkey.) 1t
hammers away with its claws at these
spots or "eyes" until hole is made,
when it extracts the kernel by means
of its smaller pincers. Sometimes af-
ter drilling through the perforated
EYE" it grasps the nut in its claws and
breaks it against stone

The leading haberdashery shops
employ only clerks who are expert
in arranging cravat shapes. Makeup
neckwear is adopted for provincial
trade, as rule. Among the duties
OF such assistants is 70 attend we'd

haberdasher's clerk reports at the
proper place in due time and adjusts
these oravats uniformly, placing the
scarfplns in correct position, etc. He
also fits the gloves in each case. His
employer collects a handsome fee for
this professional service.

BRUIN LIKES THE CAMERA.
A Colorado Rear That PauKss aud
Poses whenever lie Sees One
LeyeIed mt Him,

Bears have exhibited many strange
characteristics, many of which have
been described by persons who are
intimate with bruin in his native lair,
but State Game Warden Harris.
through Deputy Warden James Bush.
has found a bear in Routt county that
is vain OF his appearance. He is q
silver tip, too, but he is quite time,
and never strays from the property OF
Elliott Hawarden, the strange hermit
who refuses to allow anyone to harm
any of the wild animals that live on
the two sections he owns, relates the
Denver Post.
This particular bear has had his pic
ture taken SO often, says Warden
Bush, that he knows just what is re-
CURED Of him, and tourists who stop
at the Hawarden ranch have only to
lind Old Graybull To get first-class
bear picture. The old fellow stops
short and poses whenever he sees O
camera poised at him.
No one knows just how old this bear
Is, but Warden Bush declares he In at
least old enough to vote. BY associa,
ting with some dogs few years ago
he caught the mango. Hawarden dur
ing that same season was obliged to
feed him to keep him from starving to
death, and at length he became so
tame he would come right up to the
cabin door. While bruin was eating
the old man sprinkled him with fluid
which is cure for mango and the
bear has ever since been most CRATE
full for his care.

One of the rules of the postoffice de-
partment which often provokes dissat-
lsfaetion Is that which prohibits post
master or any member OF his family
from giving out the addresses of pa
irons of the office. A person may be
looking for some one whose address
has been lost or misplaced. What is
more natural than to go to the post
office and ask for the information? But
the postmaster, if he obeys the regula-
lions, will not give 1t. The government
acts on the theory that it is not its BUSH
ness to disclose the whereabouts of the
patrons of the postoffice. Debtors may
be pursued by importunate creditors;
young women may be subjected to I'M
pleasant attentions; hundreds of people
for various reasons, good and bad, may
desire to conceal from somebody their
place of residence. 1t is not the bust
ness of the government to expose them
to annoyance.-Youth's Companion.

Gardiner and Froude.

Speaking of the late DR.. Samuel Row
son Gardiner, n student of Toynbee
Hall says: His patience and his toll
erance were inexhaustible, his temper
of the mildest. He had, however, a
pleasant vein of satire. For instance,
he would say of Froude, whose bril-
iancy he greatly admired, but whose
unsoundness he characterized as de-
plorable: Whenever l find myself par
ticularly perplexed on any point look
to see what Froude has TO say about it
always find his help invaluable, for
can trust implicitly his unfailing In
stinct for arriving at false conclusions,
and the more positive he becomes the
safer feel in adopting a Numerically
opposite view.'"
