Sailors Trousers.

"Why," said a landsman, care
sailor trousers so baggy at the bot
toms?"
"They are baggy at the bottoms"
the mariner replied, $50 that they
will roll up above the knee conven-
iently and easily. Sailors are great
deck washers, and in deck washing
it is necessary to have the legs bare
to the knees. Trousers of ordinary
cut rolled above the knees would
cramp the flesh of the upper leg and
impede the circulation, but sailor
trousers may be taken by their wide
bottoms and pulled in a jiffy up to
the hip. They fit the upper leg like
a hip boot.
"Sailor trousers, in a word, have
so odd a shape because they are cut
from the knee down to fit the leg
from the knee up."-Philadelphia

ANIMALS ILLUSIONS.
The Horse a Frey to the Terrors of
imagination.

Birds are perhaps more common
" the victims Of illusions than 9TH
er animals, their stupidity about
their eggs being quite remarkable
On one occasion, for instance, a hen
got into the pavilion of j ladies'
golf club and began to sit on a golf
ball in a corner, for which it made
a nest with a couple of pocket hand
kerchiefs. But many quadrupeds
are not only deceived for the mo-
ment by reflections, shadows and
such unrealities, but often seem VIC
Tins to illusions largely developed
by the Imagination.
The horse, for instance, is one of
the bravest of animals when face to
face with dangers which it can I'M
derstand, such as the charge OF an
elephant or wild boar at bay. Yet
the courageous and devoted horse,
so steadfast against the dangers he
knows, is a prey to a hundred ter
rors of the imagination due t. illu-
sions, mainly those of sight, for
shying, the minor effect of these IL
1usions, and 'Tbolting," in which
panic gains complete possession Of
his soul, are caused, as a rule, by
mistakes as to what the horse sees
and not by misinterpretation of
what he hears. It is noticed, for
instance, that many horses which
shy usually start away from objects
on one side more frequently than
from objects on the other. This is
probably due to defects in the vision
Of one or other eye.
In nearly all cases of shying the
horse takes fright at some unfamil-
lar object, though this is common
ly quite harmless, such as a wheel
barrow upside down, a freshly felled
log or a piece of paper rolling be-
fore the wind. This instantly be-
comes an illusion, is interpreted as
something else, and it is a curious
question in equine homeopathy to
know what it is that the horse fig
ures these harmless objects to be.
When Russian ponies first began to
be shipped to England they usually
objected to pass near a donkey.
This reluctance was explained on
the hypothesis that the ponies sell
dom saw donkeys in Russia and mis-
took them for bears.-London Spec
tator.

FRENCH PRISON FOR BOYS.
Where UnmanaseabIe Sons of the Rich
Are Confined.

The Maison Paternelle at Met
tray, near Tours, France, where the
sons of rich people between the
ages of twelve and twenty-one are
incarcerated because they are IN
manageable at home, is a curious in
stitution.
We were greeted at the entrance
with frontage of iron bars. No
bell was rung. Our guide noise
lessly inserted a gigantic key, and
we entered a large hall A long row
of locked doors greeted US on each
side, and a gallery running around
the top Of the hall repeated the
same thing. "These are their
rooms" said our guide in an awful
whisper. 'HThey are shut up In
there now-they must not hear US"
This grewsome hall oppressed one
with sense of doom and despair
quite indescribable- windows, no
air from the skyhght overhead.
"They are permitted TO 60 out
only in charge Of q keeper for one
hour in the day. But / viii show
you how things have been arranged
for them," he added. 'There is, 1
believe, one room vacant at the mo-
ment."
1t was bare cell, just big enough
to contain the narrow bed, small
writing table, two chairs and a mi
mute chest of drawers and wash
stand. Iron bars inelosed the win
dow. A paddock and chain enabled
the door to be opened about four
inches when required.
''You see,' our guide remarked,
''by this means they kear the messe
in the chapel without quitting their
rooms"
In these cells, he told us, the boys
lived day and night for two, three,
sometimes for six Or seven years.
Professors come from Tours and
give iIciI IilSLi ti.tli!l at Liz Sii4d'-
writing table. Once Il month they
take bath, more often if the rela-
tivcs are willing TO pay extra for il
They, are escorted 10 the bath by a
guardian. The ISOLATION of each
boy is so thorough that two brothers
were once there together for two
yo;rs without ever knowing it. The
price for the privilege of placing
your son under this parental roof
$50 u month, all instruction being
extra.
The boys are known only by the
numbers on their cell doors, so that
their sojourn at the parental house
may not tell against them in after
life. ''Their friends suppose them
to be en- voyage or in an English or
German family, learning the Ian
guage. One invents a little ro-
nance, you see" said our guide

ABRAHAM LINCOLN once said:

of me by those who know me best

The two young men reached the
door at the same time. 'Is Miss
SwelIington in?" they asked. The
maid, Norah, looked at them and
shook her head disconsolately.
"She's in to wan av ye an out to

IT'S so refreshing these days 10
meet a man who isn't carrying an
old muck-rake around with him.
Some of us are sick and tired OF the
fellow who speaks of your falllngs
but forget the temptations you
have resisted. We're anxious to
meet that noble spirit who hears
no call to tell cold and bitter truth.
He may know your faults better
than any living mortal yet he pre-
fers to talk about the better side OF
you-if it's only one redeemlng
trait. There are yet a few whose
faces are toward the sunrise and
who listen to harmonies-not his
sings and dirges. Such a friend
will die by you. Depend on them
for they are true.

One youth had 30 cents to spend, and when he went to bed he decided to hide that money so nobody would find it. When DO one was looking he slipped 1t into the toe of one of his shoes. Then he put the shoes under the berth and went to shoes under the berth and went to sleep 10 dream of his fortune below.

Moscow, Nov 12.-A bomb was thrown at General Heinbot, prefect of police of Moscow, on Tver street to- day. The general, according to the generally accepted version of tho af- fair, quickly pulled out revolver and shot and killed the man who threw the bomb.
 According to reports. the general, confident that the power of the tor. rorist organization had been broken by the recent executions, was for the first time in months talking walk near the prefecture of police accom- panied by a police captain and two aides. Suddenly young man on the opposite side of the street threw a bomb at the general, which fell short. only splinters piercing his overcoat. The official account says that the bomb thrOwer was shot by a police man, but according to popular report which is generally believed to be cor rect, the prefect of police himself rushed across the street and shot his assailant through the head. T
 The position of prefect of police of Moscow is one of peculiar risk. Rein. bot succeeded Baron Medem as pre- feet here.
