One of the finest Conservatives in
the world is owned by the Duke of
Connaught at Bagshot Park. The in
terror represents a gorgeous tropical
scene, in which ferns, palms, orchids,
and other exotics flourish in luxuriant
profusion, watered by miniature cas-
cades, fountains, and dripping wells
At one end is stalactite cavern,
which, by an arrangement of mirrors,
appears far larger than it really is.
Along the floor of this cavern flows
rather deep stream, beneath which
are concealed a number of colored
electric lamps, so that at night numer-
GUS little pools in the dark recesses

'Ts it possible you don't remember
me?" said the healthy, happy-looking
young matron as she stepped up to DR.
Henry Russell who was alighting from
his carriage in front of a PATENTS
door. There was shade of annoy
ance on the woman's face as she
spoke, mingled with look of graft
tude. "And to think" she continued
half reproachfully, you were the one
who operated on me for appendicitis

called every day to ask the other doc
tor how l was getting along-and still
you don't know me when you see me
on the street. This is the third time
I have met you and you never even
condescenoed to bow"
The doctor apologized and said:
Really, have the best reason in the
world for not knowing you. To be
sure / performed the operation, but
that was the only time | saw you. Dc
you realize that a patient in bed
wasted by illness, looks very different
from the recovered patient on the

hair are dark, but that's absolutely the
only description l could give of you
| did not know whether you were 9
tall or short woman. l did not
know whether you were naturally a
plump or slight woman Neither did

has never seen the real you, but only
a shadow of yourself. New York

Atlantic avenue water front, says a
Boston dispatch.
The bird would probably have killed
Stone but for the interference of Hi
ram Skinner, another fisherman, who
came to Stones rescue.
The cormorant is huge black bird,
with powerful, widespread wings and
long, savage beak, sharply hooked on
the end.
He has short, muscular legs, and is
the embodiment of pathological &C
tivity. 1t is very unusual for a bird
of this kind to offer an attack on a
human being, but the cormorant was
crazed by hunger, as proven by the
rapacious manner in which he ate
when offered food after being cap
tured.
The attack on Stone was made while
he was fishing in dory. The bird few
directly at him, striking him with its
strong bill and pecking chunks of flesh
from his face. Stone tried in vain to
battle with the bird. Skinner, quar-
ter of mile away in another dory,
saw his friends predicament and
rowed to his aid.
Stone was almost unconscious when
Skinner arrived. Lifting his oar, he
struck the bird heavy blow, and it
fell into the water, stunned.

the Ordinary.
f. Ambrose Clark, stepson of Bishop
Potter and an enthusiastic patron Of
eral seasons has aroused the interest
of New York racegoers as much by
the disregard he seems to have for his
neck and bones as for the fair amount
of success he has had in riding in
open steeplechases. The field-stand
idea of Mr.. Clark was epitomized at
Belmont Park, where the amateur
jockey got bad fall just before the
field stand from his horse The Bow
cry, when spectator, probably from
the Bowery, remarked, Just t'ink of
him dom dat and him wort fifteen
million bones"
The fall brought to the surface ex-
act measurement of Mr.. Clark's en-
thusiasm, for when he found his
horse was lame after he caught and
remounted him, and he could not go
on in the race, the gentleman jock"
walked off to the Jockeys quarters,
tenderly rubbing his shoulder A
friend asked if he had been hurt in the
fall, and Mr.. Clark responded that he
was not sure, but his shoulder felt
queer. The friend suggested exami-
nation to see how serious the injury
might be, and Mr.. Clark Endorsed the
plan at once by exclaiming, That's it,
send for vet" Another suggestion
that surgeon might be better failed,
however, and it was a horse doctor
who conducted the examination, which
assured the cross-country rider that
his bones were intact.
A fall at Morris Park a week ago
put Mr.. Clark out of the running with
a broken collarbone, but he has been
as constant as ever in his attendance
at the steeplechase races there, with
undiminished enthusiasm.

WALTZ DANCE AN EVOL VTION

Of all the millions who waltz, who
can tell how this famous dance orig
mated? The story is curious one.
1t is wrongly supposed that France
received the waltz from Germany to-
ward the close of the eighteenth CEN
fury. The waltz did not emanate in
Its present form from the brain of a
dancing master. Long before 1880,
the time 1t Is first mentioned under
this name, it was displayed on the
village green's. The waltz was first
danced in the church, and serves to
trace the union between ancient civ
ilization and that of the Middle Ages
The sacred dance of the pagans is
preserved to certain extent in Chris
tian rites. 1t is transformed to SER
les of revolutions made to the sound
of the tambourine. ST. Isadore, Arch
bishop of Seville, born about A. D..
$50, was intrusted by the Council of
Toledo with the revision of the litur-
gy as 1t was then practiced in the
Roman church, in which there was
tambourine dance. The Council de-
cided to adopt the Isadorian liturgy
in all Spain, and it differed but little
from that used in other countries at
that time.

I'VE live in twin houses, side by

A colored listener overhearing both
remarks, said disgustedly: go away,
coon; shoe fly, don't bother me-"
Bishop caught the exclamation like
an inspiration for song. He wrote
from it "Shoo Fly, Don't Bother Me-"
He taught it to his soldiers, and 1t be-
came popular. The song was pirated
and Bishop profited very little from its
sale.
1t was first sung on the stage by
Dan Bryant and had 225 representa-
tions during the season of Bryant's
Ministries on Broadway in 1869-70. On
Nov %, 1870, Bryant opened his min
strel house on West Twenty-third
street in what was afterward Roster
& Balls, and 1t was sung there too.
The circumstances attending the
writing of "Shoo Fly by T. Brigham
Bishop are attested as authentic by
Col. T. Allston Brown.
The song "Shoo Fly" was more
properly jingling accompaniment to
dance, and in this dance Dan Bry-
ant made one of his greatest sue
cesses, though the act occupied only
few minutes in the second part of
the minstrel programme, Cool Bur

records, too, and most negro come

This rite, celebrated before the
eighth century, when the Moors first
invaded Spain, was still celebrated by
the Christians in the seven churches
of Toledo, which the Moors aban-
doned after their capture of the city,
and it was after that time called the
Moorish rite. This was known and
employed in Provence and Italy. The
tambourine in use in this religious
dance was called by ST. Isadore
"moite de symphonic" and evidently
correspondent to the instrument which
in the ancient sacred dances accom-
panied the flute, sort of bagpipe in
vented two centuries before Christ. AS
the religious dance of the Middle
Ages is allied to the ancient sacred
dance, so the waltz is an evolution of
this religious dance, having passed
through many changes before arriving
in its present form. In the eleventh
century, when the Gregorian rite sup
planted the Moorish rite, the dance
disappeared from the church. 1t APP
