A PARIS SOLOMON.
Magistrate Speedily Settles a Case ny
Cutting Up a Bank-NOte Amongst
the Disputants.

Nine Suzanne de Torigny was get
ting out of cab in the Rue de Clichy,
Paris, one day, when the horse took
fright and bolted. Three men stimuli
taneously laid hold of the horses
bride and stopped the runaway, says
Lloyd's Weekly. Nine. de Torigny,
who considered that the men saved
her life, promptly handed out a So
franc note of the Bank of France,
which one of her preservers took and
pocketed. Then the other two men
who had helped stop the cab claimed
the bank note also, and the three
''preservers" quarreled SO bitterly
that presently they were all taken by
the police before the magistrate, M.
Corvette. M. Corvette suggested that
each of the three men should have his
third of the p, but each of them de-
clared that he-and he alone-had
stopped the cab and earned the
money.
Thereupon M. Corvette remembered
his Old Testament, took a large pair
of scissors and cut the banknote
neatly into three equal parts, of which
he gave one to each of the men. "When
you have all three agreed upon what
you mean to do" said M. Corvette,
''come back and see me, and I'll stick
your 50-franc note together for YOU"

HOW CONVICTS KILL TIME.
Interesting Fruits of the Industry
and Ingenuity of Prisoners in a
Philadelphia Penitentiary.

r. is at once interesting and pa
thetic to go through the cells of the
Eastern penitentiary and to note the
objects which, with tedious pains, the
prisoners have made to while the
time away, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. Here a mantel will be hung with
a lambrequin, deliberately fringed, the
fine knots and delicate patterns OF
the threads comparing with the work
of the French lacemakers. The lam
breouin is of an odd blue hue, and the
visitor is told that it is made of an
old pair of prison trousers. On a lit
tie gilt bracket is small stuffed ami
NAL. The bracket, so delicately
turned, is of newspapers pasted to-
gether and gilded, and the animal is
a rat, caught in homemade trap,
stuffed with rags, and with pieces of
chewing-gum, colored with shoe
backing, for it's eyes. A wall is COM
pletely covered with really artistic
decoration of reeds, on which are
perched at least 200 birds, each accu-
rately colored and drawn. There are
also numberless checkerboards and
sets of chessmen that, in the delicacy
of their inlay work and in the inrri-
cacy of their carving, would do honor
to the craftsmen of the orient.

HOPI SNAKE DANCES.
One of Thirteen Religious Cere-
monies of Nine Days Among
Arizona Indians.

DR.. George A. Dorsey, of the Field
Columbian museum, Chicago, recently
delivered a lecture on "The Hopi
Snake Dance" at the Museum of Sci
ence and Art of the University of
Pennsylvania. The lecture was illus
trated with lantern slides of photo.
graphs taken by DR.. Dorsey on re-
cent visit to these peculiar people.
The snake dance is one of Is religious
ceremonies of nine days each which
occupy the attention of the Hopis, who
live in the northern part of Arizona.
During the first four days of the
festival the country on every side is
secured and every snake of any de-
scription that can be caught is brought
into the village. The most successful
snake catcher was a small boy, who
caught IA reptiles, six of which were
rattlesnakes. On the ninth day of the
festival occurs the great snake march.
The Indians are divided into squads
of three; the first of these is called
q carrier" He takes a snake and
puts it in his mouth, grasping it about
four inches from it's head; the second
member of the squad is called the
"hugger," and he places his arm
around the carriers shoulders. The
third member is the 'gatherer," who
picks up any snakes dropped by the
carrier during the rounds of the viii
laCe.

1t was the last of February. A big
thaw had set in two days before, and
the roads were very slumpy. Silas
found it anything but good going as
he climbed the long hill up which the
crossroad led to Amasa's snug 60
acres. The long staff that he carried
was of very little use, and it both
cred him considerably sticking in the
drifts and whacking against the Ian

"Guess I might better left this

Amasa Holden's
Square Deal
ByCLARENCE HAWKES..

A MASA HOLDEN was not miser,
~ neither was he skinfint, but at
the same time he always looked at
dime several times before he parted
company with it. His neighbors SAID
that he was trife near, which is
provincial expression that describes
to I the prevailing characteristic
Of many New Highlander.
So hard it is to perceive this eth
zeal equipoise that an interesting
thesis might be written upon the
well-meaning, prudent people who
have started out by being saving and
careful and have ended by being
miserly and mean to the last degree,
and finally starved their souls into a
wretched penury that is about as bad
as prodigality.
Amasa had been known to count
the pears upon a favorite tree, that
he might know if the boys took any,
and he had often boasted that when
a young man he had lost a cent at
a certain spot in the road, and so
deeply was this loss engraved upon
his mind that he never passed that
place but he thought of the long-lost
penny and computed what it would
have been worth if it had been at IN
terest ever since, instead of rusting
in the mud.
''Six per cent. compounded twice
annerly, that is what does the busl-
ness, and more eff you kin git 1t.
This was his maxim for all times, ana
the one he invariably quoted when
his opinion was asked on any ques-
ton whatsoever.
Aunt Betsey, his better half in
every sense of the word, had sick
ened of this suffocating penury and
passed into the old cemetery two
wears before the incident Of the fair
and square bargain, and, although
she had not had a new gown during
the last 20 years of her life and had
always been scrimped for the neces-
stiles of life, yet she had the finest
headstone in. the cemetery, upon
which her many virtues were emu
merated.
Amasa had never been the same
since Aunt Betseys death, and signs
of the final disintegration were only
too apparent. The second spring
after found him so far from robust
that he had decided, after many de-
bates with himself to let out the
sugar place, something that never
would have happened had he been
the old-time Amasa.
