Inconrenientlx Tall.

The mayor of one of the communes
Of Augers had ordered gamekeeper
and a butcher to take madman named
Legrand to the St Gemlnes nnatic
asylum On the way the gamekeeper
noticed that their charge was in one Of
his lucid intervals and concluded that
he would never consent TO be handed
over to the authorities 1t was decided
therefore, TO make him drunk, and all
three adjourned TO the nearest inn. Le-
grand took his liquor kindly. SO did the
others. And when the trio arrived at
the asylum the governor could not
make head or tail of their story. He
therefore wired to the mayor, asking
him which was the man who was to
be detained. The mayor replied Le-
grand, but the telegraphist spelled It in
two words, lie grand" 0he tall one).
The governor, on examining the three
men, saw that one was much taller
than the others. so he promptly clapped
him into n strait waistcoast and sent
the other two away. 1t was three days
later before the error was discovered

BismnrcIs ForgnNe.

Bismarck could forgive, but he
wished to do it after proper solicita-
tion. At the beginning Of the Danish
war Field Marshal Wrangel, who was
at the head of the Prusslan troops, was
exceedingly annoyed at one point to
be telegraphed not to advance farther.
and he returned message telling
King William that "these dplomatists
who spoil the most successful opera
tons deserve the gallows." After that
Bismarck ignored him completely, and
one day they met mt the kings table.
where ii was especially awkward to
preserve n coldness Wrangel called
everybody "du," and presently he
turned to Bismarck, who was seated
next him, and said, MY son. canst
thou not forget?" NO" was the curt
reply. After pause Wrangel began
again, my son. canst thou not for
give" with all my heart" said Bis
marck, and the breach was healed

When the Fond Mama Left.

A certain gushing lady took her
four-year-old daughter to a photogra-
phar, The little one could not be
made to sit still. The camera man
was as nice and suave as he could be,
called the child all the sweet, endear-
Ing names he could think of, while
using every device of gentle persua-
sion to make the little wiggler keep
still. Finally he turned to the de-
spairing mother and said;
Madam, II you will leave your
darling with me for few moments.

lovely face to perfection"
The mother withdrew for a short
time. Soon the photographer sum-
moned her and exhibited highly
satisfactory negative. When they
reached home the mother asked;
Nellie, what did that nice gentle
man say to you when left you alone
with him?"

Redwood forests are practically un-
harmed by forest fires and II Is COM
mon practice for the lumbermen to fell
the trees and peel the bark from them
and when the dry season is on set fire
to the felled timber and burn the
branches and bark and other wreckage
without practical injury to the saw
logs, which procedure would mean dis
aster to any other wood. Redwood
contains no resin or turpentine of any
kind, and, owing to its great resistant
qualities in severe climatic conditions,
Is free from cracking or decay. where
cinders might lodge and start fires.
When burning, 1t is easily extingushed
with small quantity of water. 1t has
the appearance of burnt cork and is
harder to ignite a second time than at

Paris Secondhand Market.

There is curious old market near
Paris in which everything is sold at
second hand. Working girls can fit
themselves out there from head to foot.
As a writer says, mimi can sell her
old felt hat and buy straw one ex-
change her old dress for new one
and, If she likes, buy steak and a
salad for her dinner, paper bag OF
fried potatoes, sweets and some flow
ers for her window. Democracy is king
here, and no more attention is paid to
the millionaire who is looking for some
thing marvellous which he may pick up
cheap than to the man with the wooden
leg who wants new left boot in ex-
change for dozen sardlne tins, five
gloves and stocking"

The attitude Of this great demo-

of the threshold, the right of privacy,
reminds us Of the old story OF the
Eastern man coming to that awful
tumble of cowboys, bronchos, and
desolation generally, called Gods
country"
He reached small town and put up
az the Palace Hotel. When sho TO
his room he was about to remove
some of the dust of Gods country from
himself, but found there was no cur
tain on the window. Therefore. as he
had already removed his shirt for the
purpose of making his ablutions, b"
hung the shirt over the window
In few minutes the window was
opened and a head thrust in. What
is the matter?" said the Eastern man,
"Oh, nawthin'! nawthin'!" replied the
head II just wanted to see what
there was so-much privacy about. -
