A Gallery of FOrgeries.

Paris possesses very fine gallery of modern masters, largely of the Bar bizon school not one of which is genu- ine. It is to the painter Harpignies that France is indebted for this queer collection of the spurious. Passing through the Rue de Vaugirard one day. his eye caught some canvases in a window. They were all signed by prominent names, including his own. and every signature was forged. Pass ing inside, the list became more exten- siye, and the painter found himself in the presence of false Corots, DiaZes, Daubignys. Lancrets, Isabeys, Neu- yilles and even English Turner's. The revelation of his own identity enabled Harpignies to become possessed of this collection for something less than the proverbial old song, and it may now be inspected by those interested in such matters at the state furniture de- pot, where it is preserved as d kind of high water mark in sophistication.

TRAIN KNOCKED
 HIS SHOES OFF
Man Who Couldn't Be Killed Held on to His Pipe and Wanted an
 Apology.

When Richard Hicks, aged sixty five, stepped in front of Lake Erie freight train at McKees Rocks, Pa. he was knocked about twenty feet. shaken up and bruised a little bit and lost his shoes. They were torn off in some manner and lost in the darkness. But he held firmly to his old clay pipe, which was where pipe ought to be, between his teeth, and it was not in- jured.
 He insisted on receiving an apology when he was picked up and when told what had happened consented to go to the hospital. although he insisted he was not "hurted" and was giving a great deal of unnecessary trouble. At the hospital one of the house surgeons gave him another pair of shoes, and with q stitch or two in his scalp he went on his way happy.

An Ara biau. Legend.

The Arabians had tradition that when the devil started forth from his own place to the garden of Eden he was too lazy to walk and begged all the animals, one after another, to car ry him. All refused except the ser pent. which was then quadruped and the most beautiful of all beasts. Yield ing to tine entreaties of Satan. the ser pent took up the devil on it's back and carried him the rest of the way. no one knows how far. and after the con- sequences of the devils entry into the garden became apparent the angels were commanded to look up the ser pent and punish it, so Michael cut of it's legs, and it was doomed hence forth to travel about as best it could flat on the ground.

Pevvs That Carry q Vote.

The parish church of Chertsey pos- sesses a curious anomaly. 1t has sev- eral pews ill it's gallery which are bought and sold by auction, just like a table or a chair, and these pews give their owners for the time being legal right to vote at parliamentary elections in the division. Moreover, tLe owners of the pews have to pay the poor rate of f2 year into the bargain, a privi- lege they are not so eager to use as the former one. Many years ago the church wartlens Of Gnertsey were at their wits end ill order to raise money for the res toration aud repair of the sacre,i edi flee, and they could find no solution to the question until some parishioners suggested that they should sell the gal lery peWs to the highest bidder. They accepted the idea and obtained q spa cial act of parliament allowing them to do this and also giving the privilege of parliamentary yote.-London Specta- tor,

Stay With 1t.

The first day mother sent me to school I went home at recess. thinking school was out. As I have grown older find that whole lot of people did the same thing, and the sad part of the af- fair is that too many of us never went back. In life be careful that you don't go home at recess. If you start to learn a trade or profession, stay by it and master it. Don't chase away at recess. If you have q business. attend to it. Don't go home at recess. This going home at recess has sent many busi- ness man into bankruptcy. 1t has caused mothers tears to flow and mother hearts to ache. It has made crusty old bachelors and sour old maids It has filled worlds with ignorance and made barren deserts of fertile plains Going home at recess means that you have fallen asleep at the switch and your train has plunged into the ditch Always stay until school is out.-Os- borne County (Kan.) Farmer.

CORPSES ATTEND
 DOUBLE WEDDING
Two Marriages CCnsurma!ed In New York Undertaker's Shop Before

The girls were Miss Eva Storinska of Buffalo and Miss Mary E. McCarty of Fort Erie. They came to New York at their sweethearts' so- licitati0n for double wedding.
 The young men sought for some one to tie the knot and the first they found was Undertaken Mcdonnell, who hap pened to be notary public. But he refused to perform the ceremony until he knew all about the four candidates. So he wrote to their homes and found that they were all right
 Then the two young men led the two blushing girls into the front room of the undertaken shop, past the rows of sample caskets, etc., Into the back room, where couple of lately deceas- ed persons lay awaiting the undertak- CTS services.
 In this sad room, now made glad by the ruddy glow of Hymen's torch, Un- dertaker Mcdonnell spoke the solemn words that united the two pairs, and when the last "I will'' had been spoken each bridegroom handed cigar to Jeremiah Sullivan and James Cos grove, the witnesses, and then in turn handed Undertaken Mcdonnell 50 cents. Then the two pairs climbed into two hansoms and vanished into the night.

The Air of London.

There Is no fresh air in the heart of London, according to the conclusions of a recent investigator. He says: "No evidence of ozone was anywhere ap- parent except at Brownswood park. i'll the northeast. It was from the north east quarter the wind was blowing and the air had lost all trace of ozone before 1t had reached Hyde park. At Bushey park. although practically a country district, no ozone was present in the air. London had not only ab- stracted the goodness out of the air that swept over 1t, but had added to it the exhalations from the breath and bodies of millions of human beings and of tens of thousands of animals. Per sons living within one or two mile radius of Charing Cross cannot have fresh air entering their dwellings at any time"
