Queer Drunken Manias.

A sheriff who died some few years
since kept a record of the curious
cases of drunkenness that came under
his observation. Several habitual
cases had developed odd manias. One
woman who had been arrested 1877
times for drunkenness in twenty-eight
years had a mania for breaking WIN
dows when she was intoxicated. An
old soldier suffering from wound in
the head salways stole nothing but
spades, while one woman's fancy ran
to shawls and another's to shoes.

Queer Legal kink.

France has a law taxing bicycles.
It provides that plate must be at
fixed to the bicycle, having register
ed number attached. When this plate
Is returned, showing a sale, change of
ownership or wreck, the entry in the
registry book is changed accordingly.
But no change can be made unless the
sacred plate is presented. Several
persons who have sold bicycles bear
ing plates, forgetting to remove them,
are thus condemned to go on paying
taxes for life on bicycles they no
longer own.

Flying Fish.

Flying fish swim in shoals varying
in number from a dozen to hundred
or more. They often leave the water
at once, darting through the air in the
same direction for 200 yards or more,
and then descend to the wafer quickly,
rising again and then renewing their
flight. Sometimes the dolphin may be
seen in rapid pursuit, taking great
leaps out of the water and gaining
upon his prey, which take shorter and
shorter flights, vainly trying to escape,
until they sink exhausted. Sometimes
the larger sea birds catch flying fish
in the air. The question whether the
flying fish use their fins at all as wings
is not fully decided. The power Of
flight is limited to the time the fins re-
main moist.

ATHLETICS IN GERMANY.
Wrestling Is One of the Most Popular
Forms of Exercise.


Wrestling is one of the most popular
forms of athletic exercises in Germany,
and it seems as If the heavy and mus
cular build of the Germans peculiarly
adapts them for this kind Of sport.
The general public interprets the
word athlete" as meaning a wrestler,
weight litter or "strong man." When
the English style of athletics was in
troduced into Germany, it was termed
Eight athletics" Wrestling is termed
"heavy athletics" In every town
there are many clubs indulging in
"heavy athletics" and numerous pub
lie contests are arranged, in connection
with which challenges TO "all corners"
are issued. Here one can often witness
pitched battle between science and
brute power-see an 'all conner" of
stupendOus build, probably a butcher,
brewer or furniture remover, laid fiat
on both shoulder blades in the most ap-
proved style by little, wiry fellow as
slippery as an eel. On the occasion Of

HANG THE PRlsoNERsl
An Exclamation That Was Interpret
ed an Order


The young laird of I.ochnow was
character in the Scotch camp life of
the carly eighteenth century. He was
cool in action and full of fun in daily
life. One day he was detailed to COM
mand burial party, and as he strolled
over the battlefield his orderly came to
him in great perplexity.
Sir" said he, there is heap of fell
lows lying out yonder who say they're
only wounded. and they won't let us
bury them like the rest. What shall we
do?"
Bury them at once" replied young
Agnew, without moving muscle of
his countenance "for if you take their
word for it they won't be dead for a
hundred years to come"
The man saluted and started off in
all simplicity to carry out the order,
and Agnew had to dispatch counter
order in haste to prevent his joke from
becoming tragedy.
This recalls an "o'er true" tale of
border life. Some Galloway moss
troopers were brought before Sir Will
liam Howard, who was an enthusiastic
mathematician. He was deep in his
studies when the prisoners were
marched into the castle courtyard, and
a lieutenant came running up to get
orders as to their disposal. Enraged at
being interrupted, he cried, "Hang the
prisoners" and went on with his work.
He finished his problem and went
down with a cheerful mind, only to
learn that his exclamation had been
taken for an order, and the prisoners
were all hanged.

The meaning of orange blossoms.

The orange tree is regarded as a
prince among trees and the emblem Of
genius. A peculiarity Of this tree is
that it bears fruit and flowers at the
same time. Its leaves are evergreen
and as it grows older it grows in beau
ty and fruitfulness, its blossom filling
the air with its fragrance. 1t is in
deed a fit emblem of marriage promise
and hopes. The orange tree is consid-
cred typical of love because, though its
fruit is golden and its favor and scent
delicious. its rind is bitter, and as every
one knows who has experienced it Gu
pid's dart causes pain. The orange is
emblematic Of gratitude as well as Of
genius and love.-Philadelphia Inquirer.
