A MARK FOR MAGICIANS.
The Modest, Retiring Man IL Always
Singled Out as n Fit Subject
for Experiments.

81 have the vaudeville habit" said a
diffident, mild man, relates the Phila-
delpha Record. Every week you ma y
see me beaming in box at some vaude-
vile performance, but tremble with
fear when ] see by my programme
that a magician is to come on.
For my nature is retiring; love to
blush unseen, but magicians invariably
single me out and make me help them
in their tricks.
Last week, for instance, stood in
the front of my box for quite two min
utes, holding at arms length a huge
paper bag containing an egg. My hand
and wrist looked extremely red and
bony; the thought that the audience
was regarding their ugliness filled me
with shame.
Yesterday female magician al this
theater made tea out of sand, and be-
gan to pass it around to assure the
audience of its reality. Would she
tackle me? drew back in the shadow,
but her eye caught mine somehow, and
she advanced to the box rail from the
stage, extending her tray. Please
try my tea, sir she said, and I grinned
awkwardly and took one of the cups.
In full view of the audience drank it,
and felt like a fool.
Hang these magicians, I say! I
don't go to the theater to make an
embarrassed ass of myself in helping
them to earn their pay"

CORONATION CALVES.
A Partisan Industry That Is Being
Doomed by the Thin Shanks
of England.

Parisians must and will be amused.
When there is nothing to occupy their
attention they upset ministries and
raise barbados. Consequently one
must not begrGdge them their joke,
even if It is a false calf" 1t would
appear, or at least Partisan news
sheets tell us so, that a certain guam
tity of artificial calves are being manu-
featured in Paris in view Of the corona
ton festivities. We are not all Pick
wicks, with a well-flled gaiter, and
when, according to all rules of prece-
dent and etiquette, knee breeches
must be donned, if nature has been UNI
kind to the wearer he must call in arti-
fetal aid. Consequently the trade in
artificial calves is very brisk, says the
Paris Messenger.
1t has been found, however, that even
without such an incentive as the cor
onation fetes the artificial calf indus
try is regularly occupied in manufac-
turing such articles for home con-
sumption. Frenchmen must not chaff
England in this respect, for every year
numerous French cyclists, society men
yes, and society women-invest 30
francs in padding for their neither
limbs. We must therefore add anoth-
er article to the list of adulterated and
initiated goods, for even legs are not
always what they seem!

The REPUBLICAN, TazeweI|, Va.
SERVANTS WITH FORTUNES.
A Hend-Waitcr Who Was Indignant
at an Exaggerated Report of
His Income.

Not long ago a morning newspaper
discussed the earnings of the head
walters in the fashionable uptown
hotels and restaurants. 1t said that
one headwaiter who raises milk, eggs,
vegetables and poultry and sells them
all to his employer had made 100000
out of his farm and the years tips,
says the n. Y. Mail and Express. 1t
declared that another headwaiter four
blocks lower on Fifth avenue cleared
$4,000 last year from tips and point
ers on the stock market. People read
that as they read so much else in the
newspapers, and most of them let the
subject pass out of their minds. Not
so did a friend of mine. He went TO
the smaller hotel that night and when
the headwaiter came to greet him he
said:
81 see the Morning Jaundice says
you made $4,000 last year"
cts lie," the headwaiter replied.
81 only made little more than S12,-
OOO."
Only a little more than S12,000-the
earnings of headwaiter. That would
have satisfied the proprietor of first
class hotel not so very long ago.

DOG SUICIDES FROM SHAME.
Too Much for the Intelligent
Hunter.

A fine bird dog was given to a Rox-
borough man one day lately, and the
pair went hunting together. The dogs
work was wonderful; it flushed bird
after bird; it gave its master the finest
shots that could be desired; but the
man missed and missed and missed,
until small boy who had been trail
ing curiously in the rear was unable to
refrain any longer from shouting:
"Say, yer dogs all right, but you're on
the bum for fair, mister" After that,
having funked 10 good shots, the man
went home, reports the Philadelphia
Record. The dog, he noticed, was be-
having oddly. 1t kept away from him,
avoided looking at him, seemed thor
oughly disheartened and ashamed.
And that night it hanged itself. There
could be but one motive to account for
this suicide. The dog could not toler-
ate future that consisted of nothing
but a daily watching of its masters
hopeless shooting, and it had leaped
over thu. wooden fence from its kennel.
and by its chain, which was too short.
had hanged itself few feet above the
ground on the other side, and so died.
An unquestionable suicide and a par
donable one, the mans friends say, but
he insists that the dog merely intend
ed to run back to its former home
when it leaped the fence.

CLING TO BITS OF LAND.
Towns In India That Neither France
Nor Portugal VIII Surrender
Claims To.

Portugal owns Goa, a territory hav
ing an area of over 1000 square miles
beside Damaun, to the north of Bonn
bay, and Diu, off the Guzerat coast.
The French flag floats over Pondi
cherry, on the COromandel coast, and
in addition, she possesses Chanderna'
gore, on the banks of the Hooghly, II
miles north of Calcutta; Karikal q
small and swampy settlement in the
Cauvery delta; Yanaon, near the
mouth of the Godavery river, and Ma
hee, a small town on the opposite
coast of the peninsula.
None of these possessions are of any
practical use to their respective own
ers, while to England they would be OF
considerable value. Yet neither nation
will part with any of them for. any
consideration whatever, says Stray
Stories.
After a similar fashion France
watches from the islets of st. Pierre
and Miquelon, in the gulf of st. Law
renee, the opposite shores that once
were hers. A round e10,O0OO00 was
once offered to France by Britain for
1ese two rugged masses of granite,
but the offer was refused with dis
dain.

NOT A CLERICAL PHRASE.
Dining-Car Walters Mishap Dis
PEELED the Illusion Regarding
n Traveller.

A gentleman prominent in one of the
state departments had occasion re-
Gently to visit New York. Upon his
way back, relates the Chicago Chron-
icle. he was seated at dinner opposite
a gentleman whom, by the cut of his
frock, his white tie and general APP
pearance, he took to be a clergyman.
The waiter entered with the dinner
ordered by the supposed clergyman.
He was a pompous darby, with pro-
nounced strut and dignity to give
away.
Just then the train rounded a curve
and before the waiter could get of his
dignity the trap was tipped little and
a bottle of salad oil fell into the "cler-
gyman's" soup, breaking the dish and
scattering soup and all over his
clothes, white tie and gray whiskers.
The clerical gentleman exhibited all
the external appearance of having an
apop,ectic fit, but before he could say
word the waiter gathered up the
table cloth with all its contents and
was out of sight in a minute. The
clergyman turned to the Albanian and
emphatically Remarked:
"My G., amt he the limit"

UNUSUAL FAULT-FINDING.
A Procedure In Photography That
Most People Would Not
Object To.

Prof. Hiram Corson, who has the
chair of English literature at Cornell,
belongs to the well-known Corson fam
lily whose homestead is near Norris
town, at Plymouth. A very old man
now, he is perhaps the most pictur-
esque figure in the college town of
Ithaca. His lectures are extremely
popular; he speaks with graceful ges-
lures, his hands weighted with beauti-
full Jewels, and he wears on his fore
finger a ring the poet Browning gave
him. He says good things-he is al
ways saying good things, relates the
Philadelphia Record.
"Prof. Corson," a pretty little coed
murmured recently, won't you give
me one of your photographs to hang
in my room?" The learned old man
smiled and assented. "But won't
give you one of those a New York pho
tographer has just made of me-" he
said. "The fellow had the impudence
to take all the lines out of my face.
1t made me, he thought, look younger.
I shouted at him: You are a fool!
How dared you remove those lines?
Don't you know it took me 60 years to
get them there?"

Indy Admirer Compliments Artist on
HIS Flowers, But the Effort
Is Wasted.

It was in one of BOstOn's art gal
leries. where there was an exhibition
of the late ]. Appleton Browns pic
lures, relates the Herald. There was
a fine array of beautiful landscapes,
with that mellow and radiant atmos-
phere that characterized all Of Mr..
Browns work on canvas. The mead
ows were green, the foliage was rich
and full, and the blossoms were true
TO nature at her best. A lady came
into the gallery to enjoy the pictures,
and as she stood gazing at the wealth
Of beauty on the walls she exclaimed
rapturously: "How perfectly en-

CROWS WEAR FOOLS CAPS.
Their Grain Fields of the Mis-
chievOus Birds.

The following ingenious method OF
keeping crows away from the grain
field is used by the farmers of Hol
land:
He makes some small cornucopias
of stout paper and smears around
the inner side of the mouth of each
some birdlime or other adhesive. In
these he puts some grains of corn
and stands them into his fields by
pressing their points into the soft
earth.
When the crow finds some of these
cornucopias he thinks himself in
great luck until he attempts to peck
at the tempting grain, when, to his
establishment, he finds the cornuco-
pia attached to his head-a veritable
FOOLS cap-which win not even allow
him to see what course to take if he
flies up.
However, he succeeds in reaching
some coarse grass or bushes, and
after much bewildered scrambling
and Topping about gets his head out
of this undesirable cap and ever
afterward avoids the fields where
there are more of them.

ART IN ICE-BLOCKS.
Appealing Display of Good Things
to Eat In the Window of.
Restaurant.

Likely to catch he eye Of the pAsser-
by is the restaurant window display
consisting of a big block of artificial
ice with an assortment of good things
to eat frozen within it. Some times
fruits are thus displayed, and some
times vegetables; or fish, or game, or
crustacea, states the New York Sun.
Sometimes the display is composite;
and reveals some pattern or design.
Thus appearing in the crystal depths
of an ice block lately seen were two
fine shad, heads downward and meet
ing at the bottom of the cake, and each
fish holding in its mouth a lemon.
Head downward thus, the forms of
these fishes, uncooked and so of course
of their natural color rose in the ice
block like the arms of tall, but not
very widely opened letter V; and be-
tween the forms Of the two fishes was
placed lobster, cooked and so, of
course, red in color, making a striking
contrast to the green gray of the two
shad. In freezing in fruits and veget-
ables and so on they use celery and
other things that permit of effective
arrangement; and so this window dis
play consisting Of block of ice with
things frozen in it may be easily made
one to attract attention.

KNOWS HIS BIBLE WELL.
Veteran Maryland Blacksmith Has
Read the Good Book Through
III Times.

Ambrose S. Ottey, of Cecil county.
who is a veteran blacksmith, SO years
ago began a systematic reading of the
Bible, and has succeeded in arrang
ing an odd classification of its con
tents, says an Elton (Md.) correspond
ence Of the Baltimore American. Aft
er reading through the Holy Book 1T
times he knows how many times Ger
tain words and letters appear; how
many chapters and verses there are;
names that spell the same both ways;
peculiar passages of Scripture; the
middle book, chapter, verse and line,
and other facts. He says if you want
to read the Bible through in a year
you can do so in an interesting and in.
structive manner by reading three
chapters every week day and five on
Sunday. Or read two in the Old and
one in the New Testament every week
day and six in the Old and four in the
New Testament every Sabbath. and
you will then have read the Old Testa-
ment once and the New twice in the
year. He has computed the number of
verses commencing with the various
letters of the alphabet, as follows:
A, 12,63S; b, 2,2O7; C, 1873; d, IN; e, 2O7;
f, 1877; g, 200; h, 1,164; j, LAO; j, 1873;
k, 65; !, All; m, 437; n, 961; o, 592; p.

SO; V, 81; w, 1896; X, none; Y, 1856; z, II.
He has ascertainSd that the Bible con-
tains 1889 chapters. 81, 1913 verses, 773,
697 words and 1866, 4SO letters.

FASCINATION OF GAMBLING.
Senator Depew Gives an Illustrative
Instance Witnessed by Him
at Monte Carlo.

Chauncey NJ. Depew says he saw
man begin to play with thousand
franc note at Monte Carlo. He played
and won-doubled his money; played,
and won again and doubled. He kept
on until he had won about $4,000.
Then he started resolutely to go out.
At the door he stopped, hesitated and
turned back. He sauntered over to
the table and looked on at the game
for awhile. Then he buttoned up his
coat again with great decision and
started out with a firm stride. But
he could not-positively could not get
through the door. The last Mr.. Depew
saw of him he was playing away
again, and the $4,000 was going pell
nell back into the gambling house
Golfers. 1t is generally thus. Pre-.
cious few people get away from Monte
Carlo with their own money, let alone

WE'LL FLY THROUGH THE AIR.
That Is What Sir Hiram Maxim Pre-
diets VIII BE Done Inside of
Next Ten Years.

Sir Hiram Maxim says the day of
the practical flying machine is not
more than ten years off. In a
signed article he declares himself as
follows:
with the improvements now
made, it becomes a relatively easy
matter to construct a flying ma
chine, and 1 feel sure that such ma
chimes will make their appearance
and become a part of the military
armament of the nation inside Of
the next ten years. Experiments
with flying machines are enormous
ly expensive; in fact, the expense is
too great to be borne by single in
dividual of moderate means.
81 think we can truly say, with
Lord Rayleigh, that flying machines
are only a question of lot of time
and a lot of money; and at the
present time l am saving my pennies
in order to enable me t. have an
other bite at the same old cherry"

FORCED INTO FLATS.
People of Moderate Means Must Live
In Small Space or Move to the
Suburbs.

Rich and poor alike abide in flats
IN New York city. Rather than. move
to the outskirts the people turn to ho-
tel and apartment life. The only citi-
zen able to build house for himself
on Manhattan Island is the million
aire. The decline in the building of
individual dwellings has been start
ling. This is due to the constantly in
creasing value of real estate. The in
vestor must go up in the air to get
his money back. 1t is estimated that
there are at present 1.625.46S fat
jewellers in Manhattan. Thirty-six
skyscrapers added to New York's rich
est borough in one year presents a
new illustration of the manner in
which the residential population Of
New York is being driven from private
roofs to semi-public life, not only by
giving up its home for sites for the
new hotels, but by finding shelter in
them afterward.

GOT TO TIE WRONG MAN.
Statesman from Alabama Receives
Note Intended for COlOred Bath
room Attendant.

William Richardson is a representa-
tive from the state of Alabama and
receives his mail at the capitol. An
other William Richardson is a colored
gentleman of large dimensions who is
an attendant in the luxurious bath
rooms located in the basement of the
house end of the capitol for the bene-
fit of members, says the Washington
Star. The latter William Richardson
is incidentally also a chiropodist, or,
as he terms himself, "a corn doctor"
A few days ago a letter was placed in
the box of Representative William
Richardson at the house post office,
which, on being opened, Mr.. Richard
son found to be from a young woman
clerk employed in the treasury de-
partment The letter simply ordered
Mr.. Richardson to call on the writer
Eat once" Mr.. Richardson ransacked
his memory to ascertain whether he
had an acquaintance with the writer,
but concluded that he had not, and
the letter was carefully deposited in
his official waste basket. About three
days later another mandatory mis-
sive came to him from the young lady.
This time the request for call was
still more urgent, and still unex-
planned. Representative Richardson
dictated a brief missive to the young
lady, calling her attention to the fact
that he did not know her and knew no
reason why he should call upon her.
By return mail he received a very
humble apologize note. The young
lady was having trouble with her
corns, and wished to add another link
in the chain of the colored William
Richardson's reputation as success
full chiropodist.
