Nine. Roger-MicIos, Recital.

The coming of Nine Roger-MicIos is
an event which has been anticipated
by the local music public since the be-

in the city few weeks ago as the guest
Of n. and Nine. de Margerfe, Of the
French embassy. and delighted all who
heard her there and at the White House
by her excellent work at the -iano, and
her charming personality. Nine. Roger
MiclOs is distinctly French IN every de-
tail. Her features are siuguIarly at
tractive. and she has adopted the rather
uncommon style of Grecian dress for
her public appearances, which neightens
the novelty Of her performance. She
strongly advocates this form OF dress,
less exaggerated. for international use.
Nine. ROger-MicIos was unknown to
the majority OF music lovers on this
side Of the water until her present
concert tour was heralded- She is.

AN ODD CATC4.
How . MischievOus Middy Fooled an Obnoxious sublIen-
 tenant.

The followers of Izaak Walton on board a man-of-war are wont to ply the gentle art twith a line alonej from over the ships side during the evening, says tine Cornhill. \ sublieutenant, who was not particularly liked by his junior messmates. was one day SO: engaged, when midshipman. seeing the line de- pending from the "chnins" above, reached out of one of the main deck ports and gave it a couple of violent tugs. in imitation of fish biting. tip the line was hauled with alarrity. but, of cc>;lrse. with no result.
 Once again the sub" essaved to catch this big fish hat had given him so heavy q bite. This time the mitldv's plan was more elaborate. for. getting il compan- ion to keep the neressar' s'rain upon the upper portion. he h:''h'd up the lower part of the fishing l',e and n.- tached to the hooks an oiu shoe. an empty bottle. a hol, stone and a sartline tin. Having carefully lowered these to the full extent of the line. he gave it q more powerful pull than ever. and he expectant fisherman above hauled in as fast as he could. ha nd ever hand.
 But his language when he discovered the nature of his catch is too much to ask even an unfortunate compositor to set up in cold type.

Gentle CnnnibnIs.

Capt. Guy Barrows in Penrson's Mag azine maintains that cannibalism is a sign of little higher development than the tribes who do not practice it possess. It is relic of some religious rite or perhaps hunger that has been retained until the descendants like the practice of it. The flesh of relatives is never eaten and some tribes forbid the use of human flesh to their wom- en. A cannibal is often kind and af. fectionate and no bad moral results have been discovered from it.

He Knew What 1t Was.

A certain minister, while passing
down the village street. observed one
OF his parishioners seated at his cot
tage door supping his broth.
Thinking this an unusual proceeding,
he stopped and asked him what was
the matter.
"Oh," replied John, "the chimley is
reeking a bit, so cam outside te sup
ma broth. Ye had better gan In and
gle the missus bit advice ABBOTT It,"
The minister had scarcely opened the
door when a female voice exclaimed
'Ts that thOo agyen, thoO avid rascalT'
And the minister's hat was crushed
over his eyes with a stool.
Without making a remark the minis
ter closed the door and. stepping up to
where John sat, said sOlemnly, John,
