A Remarkable Escape.

During the reign of terror in Paris
one of the most remarkable escapes
was that of NJ de Chateaubrun. He
was sent to execution with twenty
other prisoners, but after the fifteenth
head had fallen the guillotine got out
of order and a workman was sent for
to repair it. The six remaining vic
Tins were left standing in front of the
machines with their hands tied behind
them. A French crowd is very Gu
rious, and the people kept pressing
forward to see the man arranging the
guillotine. By degrees M. de Chateau
brun, who was to the rear of his COM
panions, found himself in the front
line Of the spectators, then in the Sec
ond and finally we'll behind those who
had come to see his head cut off. Be-
fore the men could get the guillotine
in working order night began to fall,
and NJ. de Chateaubrun slipped away.
When in the Champs Elysees he told
a man that wag had tied his hands
and robbed him of his hat, and this
simple individual set him free. A few
days later NJ. de Chateaubrun escaped
from France.

Entertaining Royalty

Mayfair mansion Of member Of the
royal family-most Of all the king and

one of the most delicate triumphs the

Trickinq q Game Warden.

When game warden bought seven

pound for It lie thought he was get.
ting some pretty convincing evidence
against man in Herkimer county
whom he supposed to be "a chronic
violator of the game law. The pro-
tector found this particular piece Of,
meat in an icehouse one hot August
day, and he spotted it for venison.
What will you take for that chunk
Of meat?" he asked the owner.
That's tender piece Of meat re-
piled the Woodsman, with a wink at
the stranger, land meat is dear way
back up here. wouldn't part with it
for less N dollar a pound"
/. well, give me a pound
/ Nope; couldn't do that. It would
Spite the piece for cookin' to do that.
/ The game warden had to take the
whole thing, and he paid 81 for it, sat
isfed that he had caught one of the
worst game law violators in the Adj
rondacks Down to Albany he sent
the meat for the forest, fish and game
commission to analyze to prove it ven
ison. But it wasn't. It was veal.
The backwoodsmen tell the story as
one of the best jokes ever played on a
game protector.-New York Tribune.

Due Precautions.

In town in Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge of the
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived it to be a place where, if
one should trust his fellow men, he
should at the same time keep an eye
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled off his coat
and preached a vigorous sermon under
the pines in his shirt sleeves. At the
close of the open air service one of
his admirers approached him and said
regretfully:
IT don't suppose you knew that the
editor Of one Of the big. New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off. your coat 49,.
IT reckon 1 knew it well, for I'd been
told of it, said the preacher calmly.
II don't believe he's as bad as he
might be, and anyway I put my coat
on the chair close by and had it right
under my eye all the time."' -Youth's
Companion.

Moro Story Of the Flood.

The legend Of the food as told by
the Moros is as follows: 3.
when the forty days and nights of
rain came No and his family got into
a box. One pair of each sort of bird
and beast also came in. Men who
were busy with their ordinary occupa-
lions and did not enter the box were
overtaken by the food. Those who
ran to the mountains became mon
keys; those who ran to the water, fish.
The Chinaman changed to a hornbill.
A woman who was eating the fruit of
a seaweed and would not stop was
changed into fish called a dugong,
and her limbs can still be seen under
its Skin'' t..

A Stitch Of Pain.

A stitch is a sharp, spasmodic pain
in the muscles of the side. like the
piercing of a needle and is very apt to
be produced if exercise is taken i'm
mediately after hearty meal. This
arises because the nervous energy nee
essary for the proper working of the
muscles in exercise is engaged in an
other direction-namely, in assisting
the digestion of the food. Anything
that interferes with the proper supply
of nervous energy required for exer-
else, whether it be debility or the proc
ess of digestion or exhaustion arising
from overexertion, is apt to cause this
spasmodic pain. IL

Nine. Mara had a voice that extend

one of the most facile and flexible ever
known. She delighted in the forid
music of Hasse, Graun, Benda, JONI
melli, Pergalese, Porpora, Sacchini and
others Of that school and with the ut
most ease executed passages that are
now consigned to solo instruments,
such as the violin and flute. She held
the stage from III to 1902, with an
occasional appearance after the latter
date.
