NO USE FOR A SHIRT.

A story is told of a brownie who
assisted the people of Dolphiston.
in Roxburgshire, in threshing their
corn. The farmer left an article of
dress for him, which so offended
him that he Immediately quilted the
place, saying;
Sin we've gi'en me a harden ramp,
Ma mair O. your corr will | tramp.
One of the principal characteris-
tics of the brownie was his anxiety
regarding the moral conduct of the
household to which he was attached.
He was a spirit very much inclined
to prick up his ears at the first ap.
pearance Of any improperly in the
ranks of his fellow servants. The
least delinquency he was sure to re.
port to his master, from whom nc
bride could induce him to conceal
the offense which fell under his no.

NEW USE FOR eRAMoPHoNE.

1t has been left to the managing
board of the Moscow, Windau &
Rybinsk railway to turn the gramo-
phone to practical use, for the board
has announced its intention to set
up a huge gramophone at the Mos
COW station of the line, so that the
arrival and departure Of every train
can be announced clearly to the trav-
cling public. AT the same time the
gramophone will sound the bell
thrice, as is usual, before a train
starts on its journey. AS over 20
per cent. of the people of European
Russia are unable to read or to write,
the ordinary time tables are not of
the smallest use to them, and the
gramophone referred TO has a splen-
did future before it, if only it can
be made to speak clearly and loudly
enough,-St. Petersburg correspond

SFEEEO A IKE TO SlANEsE
Natives Could Net Understand Why
American Wanderers Wanted
Sugar with Rice.

Harry A. Frank, in Harper's
Weekly, gives an amusing account
Of his tramp through the Siamose
iungles. The English authorities
refused to let him leave Rangoon
and deputed a h~alf-caste to accom-
pany him and see that he remained
within the town limits. But Frank
and his companion made the half
caste drunk, eluded him and
plunged into the jungle. At one
village they excited the wonder of
the natives by demanding sugar
upon their rice. The head man mis-
understood.
When he understood that sugar
was needed he called a woman. who
brought some in a joint of bamboo.
"At the first mouthful," saws the
author, such a roar of laughter
went up from the assembly that |
choked in my astonishment. The
chieftain fell 10 shaking as with a
fit, his advisers doubled up with
mirth and aroused the whole com
munity with their shrieks. Wild
eyed Siamese tmbled out of the
neighbor'ng huts. Within two min
utes half the village had hocked into
the room and the other half was
bowling for admittance and a
glimpse of those strange beings who
ate their rice with sugar.

TO EXCESS.

Marriage may become a habit
just as surely,if not, indeed, as easily
as drink or tobacco or grouchiness,
Mark Twain, therefore, was well
within the proprieties when he
warned the young ladies of st. Tim
otby's school, at their commence
ment exercises, to avoid marriage to
excess. Habit - everyone knows
what habit will do to a person.
"Habits soon monopolize the man."
says Professor Santayana. When a
woman once gets the habit of mar
rying the monopoly is something
awful. 1t hits her 40 ways.-New
York Globe.

ENGLISH REPERTOIRE rAEArER.

Every one knows that as far as the
plays and the actors are concerned
there is no difficulty whatever in
running a repertoire theater. No
actor who cared at all for his art
would ever, if he could help it. ap-
pear on any other sort of stage and
as for the plays there is the whole
literature of Europe to pillage. The
real problem is to educate the pub
lie and that will be done, we be-
lieve, with most success by a COM
pany which is forced by hard neces-
sity to take its public into its reck-
onings. There are pork butchers
rich enough to lure all the stars of
Europe to play Aeschylus and Soph-
ocles in the original tongue, but sub
sidized work proves nothing in the
way Of demand and rarely succeeds
in educating the public
