Four reckless persons had clambered into the stage, an old man, a middle aged woman, a young man and a tailor made girl At Fiftieth street a dress maker’s little girl struggled in with a huge box. Town life was evidently new to her Her rosy cheeks announced country air to the least observing She held her money in her hand. Looking dubiously about, she finally spied the money box and dropped in the coin. After thta she Waited expectantly. Nothing occurred, however, and she began flushing and paling with nervous indecision At last she resolutely stood up, attracted the driver’s attention and called to him: “How do 1 get my change? I put a quarter in the box, ” she. asked. “Yese oughter a-handed it up,” said the man. “Yese can’t git it now - .” “But it’s all 1 have, ’’ protested the girl. off th « nGW Passengers, ’’yell-. ed the dnver and turned away. It was all the money she had, but how could she “get it off the new pas •eagers?” Every one in the stags had become interested, but no one volun teered any advjce. Two tears rolled down the rosy cheeks. The stage stopped, and an old lady scrambled in. As she took out her mon ey. a 6 cent piece, the tailor made girl leaned over to her “Will you. give me that for this little girl?” she asked. “She dropped in a quarter by mistake, and the driver said the new passengers might make it up to her. ’■ <' < ;£■ .y r : The old lady beamingly handed over the nickel Sh® felt that the stage com pany was being rigidly but justly dealt with at last Thenapiangot in. This was harder for the tailor made girl, but the made the request again and handed a second fare to the grateful young person from The whole stageful was now interested watching for a new pas senger as a spider watches for a fly. A woman waved desperately from down a side street for the stage to wait for her, but the driver passed on unheeding and exclamations of disgust arose. Another comer, and another smartly dressed girl got in. The new arrival did not seem at first to understand the request, and, flushing, the tailor made girl repeated it and secured one more of the precious 6 cent pieces. The little girl had reached her desti nation. “1 am so much obliged, *' she murmur ed to the heroic maiden who had been taking up fares in her behalf. “I ought -to get out here, so I guess I’ll let the <)thergo. ” “No, no, you must not, ’ ’ said the fair conductor, opening her purse. “Take this and 1 can get it from the next one who gets in.” “You are awfully good,” murmured the unsuspicious little one with new tears in her eyes, and one of the men took the big box and handed it down to her when she had stepped out The stage rattled on and the tailor made girl looked unconcernedly out of the window. The next passenger was allowed to drop his fare unmolested into the box, unconscious of the little comedy that had brought the others to gether in a common interest for a mo ment and the stage company was still ahead of the game.—New York Sun. AN EVENING WITH DICKENS. How the Great Author and Hl* People Can Bo Studied by Literary Club*. “For an evening with Dickens, ” ad vises Fannie Mack Lothrop, writing of “Evenings For Literary Clubs’* in The Ladies' Home Journal, “one ot the items of the programme might be a sketch ot his life condensed into about 200 words. The Dickens drawings by Charles Dana Gibson might be cut from The Journal and hung up before the au dience and the story of each character and incident illustrated told. The trial from ’Pickwick’ could be arranged for individual reading or for a number to take part in it. A bright paper may be written on ’The People of Dickens* World. * In Dickens’ works there are 1,650 separate characters, enough to peo ple a Whole village. “Some of Dickens* poems have been set to music—notably ’The Ivy Green’ —and would make a pleasant feature. Anecdotes of Dickens might be given by ten or a dozen members, each giving one. These might be interspersed through the programme. A member with any cleverness in photography might make a series of Dickens’ lantern slides from pictures in standard editions of the novelist’s works and give a magic lantern entertainment The death of Paul Dombey would make a pathetic reading from ‘Dombey and Son.’ Airs. Jar ley’s waxworks, as described in ’The Old Curiosity Shop,' could be given -with some of the members grouped as characters in the famous show and des ignated, as Little Nell did, with a pointer. ” The “Gallery God*.” The frequenters of the lofty gallery of any theater have a good deal to do with the making or marring of any new play. Yet that is not how they acquire their title of “gods ” As a matter <Jf fact, the origin of the expression is this: Years ago Drury Lane theater had its ceiling painted to resemble a blue sky with clouds, among which white Cupids were flying in every direction. This ceiling extended over the gallery, whose occupants thus appeared to be very near heaven- Hence the expression arose of “gallery gods. ” —London Answers.

London Tit Bita * - THE EMPEROR WORSTED. A Plueky Little Hun £ arlen Qirl Get B*- Tenge For The present kaiser would probably i not admit that be hud often been thwarted in auy of his plana but an anecdote has recently become known which shows that he at least once “got the worst of it, ** and it is all the more piquant from the fact that he was de feated by a girl. When the kaiser, who was then Prince Wilhelm, was about 10 years old, he and Prince Heinrich spent some time at Cassel with their tutors, who sometimes allowed the little princes to play with other children. One day when several of them were gathered together it chanced that a little French girl Was among the number, and the young Ger mans conceived the brilliant idea of making her a representative of the conn- ‘ try they all so cordially hated. The de lightful plan was immediately put into execution, and the poor child was tied to a tree. Then began a fusillade of pine cones, sticks, etc., and whenever anything struck her there was a cry of “Here’s for Sedan!” This went on for a few minutes, when a little Hungarian girl, Helena von D , who was watch- ing, could bear the injustice no longer, and, singling out Prince Wilhelm as chief offender, she threw herself tai him. The attack being unexpected, he was oom jfietely taken by surprise and fell down, whereupon she began to pound him, crying out at each blow, “Here’s for Sadowa I” The prince was fast getting the worst of it, for his little adversary was thor oughly in earnest, when the imperial tutors, hearing the noise, rushed up and separated the combatants. After that the princes were more carefully watch ed, and Wilhelm had no opportunity to “get even” with the little champion of justice. Some days afterward, hearing that the princes were leaving, Helena went down to the gate to see them go by. As they passed Wilhelm spied his foe, and leaning out behind his tutor he stuck out his tongue. » Helena was the daughter of titled parents, and later she was married to an Englishman. When the kaiser was in London, she told this story to one of his gentlemen in waiting, who in turn repeated it to his majesty. The latter exclaimed : z “ls that devil of a girl here now? I would like to see her.” A meet ing was arranged, but Helena became ill, and so they never met after that one encounter to make friends or renew hos tilities.—New York Tribune. A SAVAGE The Teacher** Artistic Cleverne** Re ceived • Hard and Cruel Blow. In one of the Cleveland public school rooms of the primary grade the teacher has been reading Longfellow’s “Hia watha” to her pupils. Os course this is a rather ambitious work fc the liitle ones, says The Plain Dealer, but they enjoy it, and the rhythm seems particu larly pleasing to them. When they ccmo to a hard word, the teacher goes to the blackboard and draws a picture to illus trate its meaning. This the pupils find highly entertaining, and it helps in quite a remarkable way to fix the text in their minds. A few days ago they came to this line in the early part of the poem: At the door on summer evening* eat tho little Hiawatha. “At—th’ door on sum-mer eve-nings sat th’ lit-tle”—read the children. “Go on,” said the tehcher. But they couldn’t go on. THu name of Hiawatha was too much for them. They knew who Hiawatha was, but they didn’t recognize his name. So the teacher went to the board and took con siderable pains in drawing: First.—A wigwam with poles stick ing up above it, and a rude aboriginal drawing above it, and a rude aboriginal painting on the side. Second. —Little Hiawatha, with feath ers in his hair, squatted at the wigwam door. Third.—A fine harvest moon. Thea she pointed at Hiawatha and asked what it was. There was a general craning of necks and shaking of heads. “Come, come,” said the teacher, “yon know what that is.” Then one little girl spoke up: “I guess it’s a mud turtle.” And instantly, with one accord, the class glibly repeated: __ “At th’ door on sum-mer eve-nings sat th’ lit-tle mud-dy turtle. ” And tho teacher feels that her artistic cleverness received a hard and cruel blow. Stylish Krening Bodice. The simplest and perhaps the most fashionable bodice for evening wear, says a New York fashion authority, is the full blouse shape of chiffon, droop ing over a fitted silk lining, the top cut out in square or rounding fashion, with a full tulle ruche, a narrow band of fur, a fall of lace or beaded revers to finish the edge. The sleeves consist of short, full puffs similarly trimmed. This is a basis for any kind of flower trimming that taste suggests. Rows of shaded pink roses devoid of foliage are i in great use on evening* gowns this win ter, as are maidenhair fem and lilac i sprays, laid upon strands of pink or or ange satin ribbon not more than an inch and a half wide. » i \ *— la a Chicago Art Gallery. * “It seems to me the perspective in i this picture is faulty. ” v ‘ ‘ The—er—what?’ ’ w "The perspective.

He must be worse than a Kaffir, Indeed, if he cannot take delight in them. Masses of pelargoniums flourish among the kloofs and valleys. Here a mountain side is to be seen fairly blushing with pink heath—one of the three hundred and odd heaths of which the Cape can boast. And so, if he is lucky and the rains have been propitious, the gunner may follow the ’kllpspringer through kloofs anduphlll sidee, thus gladdened for a brief space with brilliant flowers.

The Ceasos of Egypt. . The statistics of the census taken last June of what is called Egypt proper—that Is, Egypt up to Wady Haifa—hate been classified elaborately by Boinet Bey of the finance ministry. Tho main results are as follows: In 1840, under Mohammed Ali, the population was only estimated at 4,500,000, the census of 1882, which was a most imperfect one, showed over 6,750,000, and last year’s, which may be considered as fairly accurate as is practicable, indi cates a total population of nearly 9,750,000. Os this total 50.8 per cent are males and 49.8 per cent females. After deductions for women, children under 7 yean and Bedouin, it is calculated that 18 per cent . of the males ban read and write, the re mainder being entirely Illiterate. The na tive Egyptians number 9,008,000, to which must be added 40,000 originally from oth er parts of the Ottoman empire and 574,- 000 Bedouins. Os these last only 89,000 are really nomads, the remainder being styled semi sedentary. Os foreign residents there are 118,500, of whom the Greeks are the most numerous, with 68,000; then come the Italians, 84,500; British (including 6,500 Maltese and 5,000 of the army of occupation), 19,500; French (Including 4,000 Algerians and Tunisians), 14,000; Austrians, 7,000; Russians, 1,400; Ger mane, 1,800, and the remainder are divid ed among ten different nationalities. The classification according to religion shows nearly 9,000,000 Moslems, 780,000 Chris tians and 85,000 Israelites. The Christiane include the Coptic race, numbering about 608,000, of whom only a very small pro portion profess the Boman Catholic and Protestant faiths.—London Times. Colonial Courtship. In an article in the Boston Herald con cerning Portsmouth, Aldrich’s ‘Old Town by the Sea, ” and the scene of Longfellow’s poem of “Lady Wentworth,” Mrs. Edith Perry Estes writes ot the romances due taring around old St. John’s church. One of the prettiest is that of tho courtship of Miss Catherine Moffatt by Nicholas Bous selet. Only the last scene follows. It took place in one of the stately old pews in St. John’s, where Bousselet, in official consu lar costume, sat by Miss Moffatt’s side. Somewhat late in the service, when, It is safe to say, he had lost the thread of the parson’s discourse, he handed her the Bi ble, in which he had marked In a lover’s trembling hand the first verse of the sec ond epistle of John, “Unto the. elect lady,” and the fifth verse entire, “Now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.” This Miss Moffatt answered with the sweetest, most womanly answer in Holy Writ, and one peculiarly appropriate to the ..wandering consular life of the foreigner: “Whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy peo ple shall be my people and tby God my God; where thou diest I will die, and there will Ibe buried; the Lord do so to me, and more also if aught but death part thee and me. ” ta Gastronomic Chips. Life is the queerest of conundrums. We spend one-half of it In guessing what it is and the other half In regretting that we didn’t guess it sooner. An empty stomach at bedtime may wreck your slumbers as surely as an over loaded one. It is a case of Scylla and Charybdis—steer wisely between them. A man may have the wisdom of Solomon in other matters and yet be fool enough to forget that bls stomach is bis best friend. •They say that “poverty is the mother of health.” Perhaps she is, but she some times squeezes our diet so tightly that she becomes “the mother of wrinkles.*’ Let our stock of wisdom be ever so scanty, there is no better place to spread what wp have of it than over the table. “Oh, ,? you say, “Ipay my cook to spread his own there!” Doubtless yoq do, but if your cook’s wisdom be of the average cook’s quality you pay and look for some thing which you do not get. A wire cook is one of the blessings that heaven is chary in sending us. Those we get, and get In abundance, come from the other place.— Table Talk. The Smallest Republic. Gaust is the smallest republic in the world. It has an area of one mile and a population of 140. It has existed since 1648 and Is recognized by both Spain and > France. It is located on tho flat top of a mountain in the Pyrenees and has a pres ident who is elected by the council of 12. The president is tax collector, assessor and judge. The republic has no church or clergy. The people worship in a church beyond their country, and when one dies he is slid down the mountaiff to a ceme tery in the valley below.—Exchange.
