FREAkiSH PRODUCTS.

Birmingham, to the casual visitor
Is the ugllest and most commonplace
of English towns. But to the initiate
Birmingham Is mine of interest,
nowhere in the world are such curiou,
things manufactured.
A curio dealer cited the other day
few Of Birmingham odd products
Among them were:
Crowns for African king-reai
crowns, made of real old, and set with
auge, II not quite flawless, gems.
Idols Of metal of wood and OF clay
that traders barter for ivory on the
Congo.
Opium smoking sets, made by ma
chinery, for sale among the lower
classes Of the Chinese.
Elephant howdahs, very sumptuous
and splendid, for state use In the
courts OF India.
Imitation blackthorns and shillelahs
for the irish peasants to palm off CD
tourists.
Antique green bronzes from Pom
peii, to be sold to visitors to Naples

Couldn't Call Depew Off.

One Of the best of the stories told
% Whitelaw Reid, the dignified
iournalist-publicist, minister to the
court of st. James in succession to
Joseph Choate, goes back to the cam,
paign of 1892, wnen the editor Of the
New York Tribune was the vice presi,
dental candidate upon the republican
ticket. An immense mass meeting
had been arranged at Carnegie hall,
AMI all the leading republicans In the
east were scheduled to appear: Reid
among taem, his box in the second
tier CHANGING to be directly beneath
that which had been set aside for
Chauncey Depew.
As Mr. Reid entered the house the
tumult of applause broke forth. He
bowed to the welcome, courtly, grace,
ful. and above all else dignified. 1Nle
cheering continued, and he bowed
again. Still the crowd kept up its
tumult and third time he bowed,
now warming up a little, and as his
recognition of the applause did not
seem to lessen it, he stepped to the
front OF the box as If to speak.
Instantly an uproar of laughter
swept over the hall. Instantly the dis
tinguished candidate for vice presi-
dent froze up. The laughter increas-
ed Anger supplanted bewilderment
then in Mr.. Reds handsome face,
and tnis grew to the boiling point as
someone cried: NO! No Reid! Reid!
Reid"
The applause swept up into new
life, but, with the calls for him, Mr..
Reid could distinctly hear yells OF
laughter-and turning he started TO
leave the box At that psychological
second appeared breatlless com
mitteeman:
They want you on the platform,
Mr.. Reid" he grasped.
Then what under heaven are they
laughing at?"
why, it's all a mistake Depew's
got the EoN above you, and when the
welcome to you broke out, he thought
the crowd meant him, Hes 50 Used
to the limelight, you know. He hasn't
| found out the mistake yet-ae's stu

surIY Prison Doorkeeners.

why are the doorkeepers or prisons
always surly? guess 1t Is because
they have to answer so many foolish
questions" said a prison doorkeeper.
"Only this morning ring comes at
the bell. | halt in the middle OF my
breakfast. tramp down the long cor
ridore unlock my fifty-ton door
with my twenty-pound key. Outside
stands tough young man, his hat on
the side OF ais head, VINO says
Boss, whenll Joe Mace get out!
Me and another feler's got bet on
It,.
People come here and ask me
when this prisoners trial and thai
prisoners trial takes place. They
como here without permits, and de,
mand to see prisoner with the same
air as you'd so to a friends's house
and demand to see your friend. They
bring presents to- prisoners-boxes OF
cigars, bottles of rum, scarfpins, and
poker dice.
ut is the constant rebuiflng OF AFT
these foolish people that makes the
doorkeeper of prison surly."

THE MARINERS YARN.

Down in the docks the other day
they were talking about schooner
which had been struck by lightning,
when the reporter singled out an OLD
mariner. and said:
Captain II, 1t seems to me
I've read or heard OF your brig being
struck"
"Yes, she was,' answered tle olo
yarn.spinner.
where was IT."
"Off Point aux Barques, about
fifteen years ago, Very strange case,
that, Probably the only one OF the
kind ever heard OF"

well, we were Jogging along down
when thunderstorm overlook us,
and the very first fash Of lightning
struch the deck amidship, and bored
hole as big rs my leg right down
through the bottom OF the vessel"
"And sac foundered, OF course?"
