Didn't Suit Washinnton.

Until the early part Of the last
century Milford, Conn, had a house
in which Washington was said to
have spent night. 1t was in 1889,
when Washington made a tour Of
New England. Tradition says that
there were certain things about his
stay at the Milford tavern which he
did not enjoy. The supper set be-
fore him consisted of boiled meat
and potatoes. He was not pleased
with the meal and asked for a bowl
of bread and milk. The landlord
brought the new order and a broken
pewter spoon with which to eat it.
"Have you no better spoons than
this?" asked General Washington.
"1Ps the best | have in the house,
sir" replied the host.
"Send me the servant" said his
excellency. Heres 2 shillings. Go
to the minister's and borrow sill
yer spoon"
Tradition does not add whether
he got the spoon or not. - E1-

In Philadelphia they tell a story
of a man whose wife had arranged
an authors evening" and persuad-
ed her reluctant husband to remain
at home and help her receive the
fifty guests who were asked to par
ticipate in this intellectual feast.
The first author was dull enough,
but the second was worse. More
over, the rooms were intolerably
warm. So, on pretense of letting
in some cool air, the unfortunate
host escaped to the hall, where he
found a servant comfortably asleep
on the settee.

A Circus Horse In Battle.

Colonel Charles Marshall, who
was aid-de-camp to General Robert
f. Lee and who went through the
battles Of the war with his chief
told the following amusing story of
his experience with a new horse 4:
His old horse had been shot from
under him in the fight Of the pre-
yious day, and he had taken posses
sion of an animal that seemed to
suit the work. In the battle a few
hours later he was riding across a
field in which there we're numerous
stumps.
Suddenly the performance open
ed. The guns roared, and the air
was filed with smoke and noise.
Before Colonel Marshall knew
what was happening the horse had
his four feet on one of the stumps
and was gayly dancing in a circle.
in the meantime the firing was in
creasing, and the situation was any
thing but comfortable. But the
horse kept on as if he were enjoy
ing it.
ut was not until afterward," said
Colonel Marshall, ''that l found the
horse had belonged to a circus and
had been trained to do this act

TRICK SHOOTING.
The Way Some Of the Stage Feats Are
Accomplished.

HOSOfIiFiieHSNf
When a champion rife shot fires
blindfolded at a wedding ring or q
penny held between his wife's
thumb and finger or seated back to
her shoots, by means of mirror, at
an apple upon her head or on a
fork held in her teeth, the danger
of using a bullet is obvious. None,
of course, is needed. The explo-
sion is enough. The apple is al
ready prepared, having been cut
into pieces and stuck together with
an adhesive substance, and a thread
with knot at the end, pulled
through it from the swings" so
that it flies to bits when the gun is
fred, Is chow it is done"
Generally the more dangerous q
feat appears the more carefully is
all danger guarded against. In the
civilian Tell" act the thread is
often tied to the assistants foot.
When, again, the ash is shot off a
cigar which the assistant is smek-
ing piece of wire is pushed by his
tongue through a hollow passage in
the cigar, thus thrusting off the ash
at the moment of firing.
A favorite but simple trick is the
shooting from some distance at an
orange held in lady's hand. Great
applause is invariably forthcoming
when the bullet drops out on her
cutting open the fruit. 1t is insert
ed by hand earlier in the evening.
Another popular trick is that Of
shutting out lighted candles. Half
a dozen are placed in front Of a
screen, in which as many small
holes are bored, one against each
candle wick. At the moment of
firing a confederate behind the
screen sharply blows out each can
die with a pair of bellows.

other object has to be broken on a

How ssmInOIes Bury Their Dead.

Seminoles bury their dead on top
of the ground after wrapping them
in blankets. but always leave the top
of the head exposed. They build a
pen over the body and usually chink
it with earth. When his squaw dies
the husband wears his shirt until it
rots off, which is not strikingly dis
tinctiSe. When the husband dies
the squaw doesn't comb her hair for
three months. Little reverence IS
shown for the dead. When Tom
Tigers grave was robbed and his
bones taken for exhibition the out
cry over the desecration was almost
wholly a newspaper affair. The
nearest settlers were unalarmed and
the Indians indifferent. - Golfers

to his master.
After a march of about thirty
miles the ass had enough Of carry

Thereupon Ali dug a hole and
put the ass in, piIing a great noun
