Oswalds friends were always on the
lookout for some ruse. He once mott
fed them that on New Years day he
should get the best of them all In some
joke. and New Years morning each re-
ceived this notice: "Remumber." They
were on their guard.
AS they were leaving n house where
they had breakfasted Oswald slipped
on the steps and fell on his back on
the sidewalk. His friends rushed to
his assistance. but paused before they
reached him.
This is his ruse." some one said.
Clearly the man who was SO proud
Of his talent for mimicry was bent on
deceiving them all into thinking him
a dying man, for he lay tnere moan
ing pitifully. his face drawn and twist
ed as if with terrible pain.
His friends stood around and made
jokes and puns and hummed lines Of
comic songs. assuring him ali the
while that they were not deceived by
his acting. At last he gave q hoarse,
mournful cry, looked at them sadly
and then ceased to mourn or writhe.
In never TO be forgotten moment of
horror and sorrow his friends realized
that Oswald was dead.-"Souvenirs

Fair EXCHANGE. Yet a Robbery.


While Gustave Dore was at Ischl
and wandering about the mountains
he became much interested in q coun-
try wedding and sketched 1t on the
spot. He put the sketch into q book
into the pocket of his paletot and went
back to the hotel to dinner. After din
ner he looked for the sketch 1t was
gone. Angry at the theft, the artist
called the landlord and made COM
plaint, but no trace of the book was
found. From Ischl DOre went TO VI
emma. and there he found letter and
parcel awaiting him. The letter,
which was anonymous, read thus:
''Sir. I stole your book at Ischl. The
sketch was so charming that / could
not resist the temptation OF having 1t
In my possession. and I knew very
well you would never consent to sell
1t TO me. But theft is neither my
trade nor my habit, and beg you to
accept as n souvenir OF my crime and
my enthusiasm for your talent the
walking stick which will reach you at
the same time as this letter."

gold head, I'm which was set q gem of

Paper UndercIothinq.

Underclothing made of finely crisped
or grained paper Is manufactured in
Japan. After the paper has been cut
to pattern the different parts are
sewn together and hemmed. and the
places where the buttonholes are to be
formed are strengthened with calico
or linen. The paper Is very strong and
at the same time very flexible. After
garment has been worn a few hours
1t will interfere with the perspiratlon
OF the body no more than do garments
made of cotton fabric. The paper is
not sized. nor is II impermeable. After
becoming wet the paper is difficult to

tear 1t by hand 1t presents almost as
much resistance as the thin skin for
