Sir Henry Irving a Victim.

MT. Grossmith, the noted English funmaker, just deceased, was an in- veterate joker, and Sir Henry Irving was once his victim when they were both staying at the same hotel at Manchester. MT. Grossmith, seeing an enormous crowd outside the hotel, said to the porter: Are these peo- pie waiting to see me?" On being told that they were waiting to see Sir Henry he turned up the collar of his overcoat, adjusted his eyeglasses, pulled his soft hat down over his eyes, and walked down the steps with the Irving gait. There was great cheering, but when Sir Henry Irving went down later the crowd had dispersed. After ward, when Sir Henry heard of the in- cident, he said to MT. Grossmith, with a twinkle in his eye: "You ought not to have done that; pay those people to come here every night. ."-London Mail.

SECRET BURIED IN A TOMB
rJerome," Nova scotia's LesIess Man of Mystery, Silent for Half
 Century, Is Dead.

Within a few hundred yards of a beach where ffty-one years ago two fishermen found him with his legs amputated, "Gerome," Nova Scotias man of mystery, died a few days ago, silent to the end about his identity.
 Although he undoubtedly possessed the power of speech, "Gerome". had not conversed with anyone in the half century he had been cared for by Didier Comeau and the latter's sons and daughters. During all of this time "Gerome" had remained a mystery to the settlers here, most of whom are known as returned Acadians," being the descendants of the compatriots of Evangeline who returned to this part of their adopted country after their expulsion by the English in 1755.
 Away back in the summer of 1861, according to tradition, ship differ ent from those usually seen here, put off a small boat which made for the shore and deposited above the tide line an object that several hours later was discovered to bs a man. His legs had been freshly amputated and there was jug of water and a package of ships biscuits beside the man, who had suffered greatly from exposure.
 Wrapped in blankets and taken to the Comeau house, where, ever since he had been a welcome member of the household, the man was finally revived by physician. In half dog en languages the man was asked:
 What is your name?" To this question, in Italian, propounded by the elder Comeau, the man made nut tered reply: "Gerome!" Never after that, however, did "Gerome" utter a word except on one occasion. when asked where he came from. Trieste" was the reply made, seemingly in an unguarded moment
 Physicians from all parts of the world who have visited this land of Evangeline in the f1ftyo-ne summers that have elapsed since "Gerome" was found on the beach, have studied the mans case. Most of them have agreed that he might have spoken had be de sired to do so; one or two have vouch- safed the opinion that some terrible experience through which "Gerome" passed frightened him out of his senses and rendered him unable to ut- ter an intelligible word.-New York World.

The stranaest of Birds.


 The German emperor was lately the recipient of a pair of very curious birds from the East Indies. The spe- cies is nearly extinct, and it is said that an effort will be made to prevent their becoming entirely so by enforc ing the laws against hunting them.
 These birds always travel in pairs and are hardly ever separated. The beak of the male is short and strong, while that of the female is fine, long and curved. The males work is to break with his strong bill the tough bark of trees in order that his mate may introduce her pointed beak intu the holes dug into the trunk by in' sects and so extract food. When the male detects an insect haunt" he lays it bare and the female pulls forth the prey with her beak, divides it in two, gives the male his portion and eats the other, continuing the process un' til both have had enough. Consequent ly the death of one or the other means starvation to the survivor, the female being unable to break the bark of trees and the male to take out the prey when it's presence is exposed.- Harper's Weekly.

CLEVER RUSE OF A WOMAN
How Tenant in Non-HousekeepIng Hotel Disposed of Her Cook
 Ing Debris

Close observers looking in the right direction might have noticed a tall young woman, with pinkish hair, come out of the family hotel and walk rap idly toward the nearest car stop.
 On her way she dropped a good sized package that she had been car rying under her arm. It seemed strange that a woman could lose so large package and not notice 1t, but she was preoccupied with shopping lists or something and kept right on going.
 A man walking behind rushed to the rescue, however. He grabbed he package of the sidewalk and quick ened his pace to overtake her. But she was hurrying to catch her car, which was approaching, and he didn't gain much. So he decided to call after her.
 'I beg your pardon" she shouted.
 She didn't seem to hear.
 'T say, beg your pardon, lady," he repeated, "but you dropped this pack. age"
 Still she didn't hear him, or, at ISdSIg QluA dSbun1S lndI AAo WOA06 were addressed at her.
 The man broke into a run. She was climbing on the car, and there was no time to lose. The conductor signaled to the motorman, the car started-just as the panting rescuer of the package reached the corner. He was too late.
 Well, she can do without her old packagei" he growled to himself.
 He decided to open the thing up and see what was in it. The chances were good that there was something valu' able, he figured, for fool of woman like that would drop a valuable pack age even more readily than one of no consequence.
 He united the cord, removed the pa per wrapping, and found the cold, still remains of a lunch-three banana peelings, the bone out of a sirloin steak, and two or three dry crusts of bread.
 The woman had been doing light housekeeping in a non-housekeeping hotel suite and had neatly disposed of her cooking debris.

Related Appreciation.

A workman called at the home of President Taft's brother Charlie, in Cincinnati, to perform some odd job, and he paused to note some of the priceless paintings in Brother Char lies private gallery. He was attract ed to a small original Van Dyke and moved up closer to get a better look.
 "Ah!" he exclaimed. i've got that same thing down home. Yes, it's ex- actly like that. My wife got it some place here in town. Are they worth much?"
 "That one is worth S5,OOO," he was told.
 ''Hum!" he murmured. 'T guess I'll have ours framed"

A Home Ruler Before Gladstone.

Sir Wilfrid Lawson was a home ruler long before MT. Gladstone. In 1881, when the Liberal government was engaged in policy of active re- pression in Ireland, Lawson. in an ad- dress to his constituents at Carlisle, summarized the situation with charac- tertistic shrewdness. 'I am convinced of one thing" he said, 'that, as sure Iy as I stand here, disaffected nation. hating the rule of the nation that gov erns it, is not a source of strength to that country, but source of weak ness to everyone concerned in the matter. Suppose you had a house maid who was continually breaking the crockery, who went into mysteries once a week, and had to be put into a strait waistcoat, and three or four po- licemen brought in to keep her in or der, would you keep her? No; you would say: 'Wayward sister, go in peace '"-London Chronicle.

My nephew" says the bespectaclet man, entertained me most, generously while I was in New York. He took me almost every evening to one res taurant or another and heard several most lively songs"

SAYS THE BEST THING
WOMAN WHO IS NOTED FOR THE
 WORD FITLY SPOKEN.
Her Remarks Are Always Apt ana Pleasing and the Hearers Know That There Is Absolute Sin
 cerity Behind Them.

Do you remember what Mrs. Gregg wore at that reception of yours two years ago?" asked Mrs. Crane.
 "No," replied Mrs. Chase, but I re- member what she said. After most of the others had made the usual polite remarks and gone away, Mrs. Gregg came up, and putting out her hand, said, with her refreshing sincerity:
 You've given me a good afternoon and now I must bid you one'"
 That is why I asked you,' said Mrs. Crane, with interest. Although I've met Mrs. Gregg 100 times, cannot re- member distinctly what she wore at any time; but can remember so many things that she has said and just how she looked when she said them.
 q remember once," continued Mrs. Crane, "after a recital by Miss Patillo, the women crowded round her and said all sorts of inane things in the effort to impress the pianist with their knowledge and love of music. Miss Patfllo received their compliments in a polite tired way. Then Mrs. Gregg came up, took the girls hand in both hers, and said:
 My dear, I don't know anything about music, but when you played 1 imagined I was a girl again in a field of wild daisies
 At once the pianist's eyes Hghteu with pleasure, and there was real gratitude in her Thank you,' and the pressure of her hand"
 And I'll venture" said Mrs. Chase, that if you asked her today about that recital, the only thing she would remember would be Mrs. Gregg and her field of daisies.
 Tt is not that she says startling things" continued Mrs. Chase. She does not try to be odd or witty, but she always succeeds in putting things freshly. Can you imagine her saying, Tt was such a success, Miss Watts!' I've had a perfectly delightful time, Mrs. Coombs 9"
 'T remember" said Mrs. Crane, with a laugh, that one summer Mrs. Gregg was at our house party in the noun tains. One evening, after watching the sunset, she turned suddenly to me. Do you know what I was thinking, Mrs. Crane? she answered.
 "'No,' I answered.
 CT was thinking she said with a smile, how glad I am that lost my very best doll when was little girl
 "'Why?' I asked, curiously.
 If hadn't lost my doll,' she said, my mother would not have sent me to the store for another; and ifzl hadn't gone to the store should never have met Lizzie Smith, who happened to be there with her aunt; and if had never met Lizzie I should never have known you-and so shouldn'i be here now'"
 Both women laughed appreciatively
 'T know many women,' said Mrs, Chase, "who are more striking to look at, many with finer clothes, and some with keener wits, but Mrs. Gregg says the word you want to hear"
 And it is something more than word" replied Mrs. Crane. There's the genuine feeling behind the word, She really enjoys things-with her it is not a matter of showing her clothes. of paying social obligations, or making friends. That, I suppose, is why she can always say the thing that makes the hostess remember her with such vivid pleasure" e."-Youth's Companion.

 "Thank you, dearie," he said.

Tired of It.

The four-year-old had taken his re, proof in a gratifying spirit, had admit ted his fault and sued sweetly for par don. Encouraged by his receptive at titude his mother ventured to add a few general ethical truths; but with the first hint of transition from the concrete to the abstract a mild resent ment dawned in his eye.
