Traveling b+ sledge ia Siberia in venter has its as the experience of Mr. Robert N Jefferson and bis friends goes to illustrate. Tbe incident is told in “Boughing It In Siberia:” We had chartered six sorry looking horses to drag us on to the next stage. It was night when we started. The driv er, maudlin drunk, had to be helped to his seat, and we set off along the narrow roadway at the usual gallop, which, however, soon dwindled into a mere shwffie through t>osuow. We had gone 1 ft rieep,/ftufl tome hours after our departure Gaskell woke me and said be thought something was wrong. The sledge was at a standstill, and our shouts to the yemshik brought no response. Black darkness prevailed. I bundled obt of the sledge, so benumbed that I could scarcely move. I felt along the sledge, sinking to my knees in the snow. 1 The driver’s perch was empty, and just then I stumbled over one of the horses, which was lying buried up to its neck. It was clear that the driver had fallen from his eeat, and that the horses bad wandered from the track. The poor beasts were stuck fast, and a closer inspection showed one of them to be dead, literally frozen to death. If we would save ourselves from tbe same fate, prompt action was necessary. The other horses were nearly suc cumbing. They lay flat on their stom achs and nibbled at the snow. We cut the dead animal adrift, and, using the spare rope as whips, we stood on either side of the living and lashed them till our arms ached. At length they moved, and by pushing and pulling we got tbe sledge turned. Then, step by step, with much foundering, and many falls, we began to retrace our way. , All this in pitch darkness in a raw, cold wind and in momentary expecta tion of one or all of the horses dropping dead. „ « It was a terrible experience, but we regained the road and finally reached the village. BLIND MAN’S BUFF. The Origin of Thia Fav'drlte Sport of Childhood and Yonth. This favorite sport of childhood and youth ia of French origin and very high antiquity, having been introduced into England in the train of the Norman conquerors. Its French name, “Oolin Maillard,” was that of a brave warrior, the memory of whose exploits still lives ~ln the chronicles of the middle ages. In the year 999 Liege reckoned among its valiant chiefs one Jean Oolin. Hs acquired the name Maillard from his chosen weapon being a mallet, where with in fight he used literally to crush his opponents. In one of the feuds which were of perpetual recurrence in those times he encountered the Count de Lourain in a pitched battle, and, so runs the story, in the first onset Oolin Maillard lost both his eyes. He ordered his esquire to take him into the thickest of the fight, and, furiously brandishing his mallet, did such fearful execution that victory soon declared itself for him. When Robert of France heard of these feats at arms, be lavished favorj and honors upon Colin, and so great was the fame of the exploit that it was com memorated in the pantomimic repre sentations that formed part of the rude dramatic performances of the age. By degrees the children learned to act it for themselves, and it took the form of a familiar sport. The blindfolded pursuer, as, with bandaged eyes and extended hands, hs gropes for a victim to pounce upon, seems in some degree to repeat the ac tion cf Oolin Maillard, the tradition of which is also traceable in the name, blind man’s bluff.—Philadelphia Press. - His Reason. Some of the best of Dean Pigon’s sto ries come from Halifax (not Sheffield). One of these concerns his verger, one Sagar. Imagine him, a venerable figure with gray hair, skullcap, gown and verger’s staff. In ignorance they had married a’nian to his deceased wife’s sister. Sagar, whose business it was to set tle the matter about the banns, was at onoe cross examined. ’’’‘Oh, yes, vicar," said he, "Iknowed right well! I know ed parties. “But why did you not tell me?” I should have forbidden them.” "Well, vicar, it was just this way, do you see. One of the parties was 84 and t’other 86. Isays to myself: ‘Lord, it can’t last long. Let ’em wed, and bother the laws 1’ ’’--London News. A Regular Polyglot. A gentleman in a rural district drew dowh upon his head a storm of adverse criticism by marrying a second wife ghortly after the demise of his first. Two of those good ladies who look gen erally upon the surface of things and who are ever ready with condemnation were discussing the disgraceful affair. "Why, my dear, there’s his poor wife hardly cold in her grave, and .he goes and marries another!” ‘‘Dreadful!’’de clared the other. "I never heard of such a thing.” “I should think not indeed,’* went on Na 1 angrily. “Mar rying wife after wife like that—why, the man’s a regular polygot!”—Cornbill Magazine. - ' • The Last of the Patches. I was born in 1837, and I have per sonal recollections of a lady in the early forties using them. The curate of— lodged in a farmhouse contiguous to my father’s place. His wife was a tall, fine, handsome woman, dressed in black when I first saw her, and bad patches— “beauty spots” they were called—on her forehead, cheek (left, I think) and chin. I told my mother on returning home, and she replied they were “beau ty spots” and “in the fashion. ” I have a most vivid recollection of seeing her and her husband on the occasion. A handsomer couple you would rarely meet. —Notes and Queries. BEGGAR, BUT NO LIAR. A Ma»dlout*a Account ot Bo* Ha law* a Log In Cab*. "Yes, sir,” said the one legged man mournfully to the man whose attention he had attracted by addressing him as "Say, friend —f‘l loot this log at Cuba, and that’s the truth. ” ’'‘You don't say,” the other observed sympathetically. “I've been reading about the trials and troubles of you poor fellows —that is, allowing you are telling facta and really were there.” “Friend, I hope I may die in thia spot and die painfully if it isn’t just as I tall you. I know I am suspected as a fraud because there are ao many liars who try to Work on people’s sympathies, but I am tolling the actual, honest truth. I lost this leg in Cuba. If you'll give me a dime, mister, I'll tall you all about it. It’s a very interest. story." The synipattetto stranger, being assur ed, complied: “It was a dark night, friend,” the crip ple begun, “and nobody but a fool ord man who was half drunk would have thought of doing such a thing. I s’pose in all honesty I ought to confess I’d took a drop that night.” “I can understand. I have heard about that rainfall and the mud and exposure. ” “Yes, it was a dark night, and you could not sec a thing. Suddenly a bright light flashed over to the west. It was a head light.” “Ah, yes! a searchlight, you mean.” “And then there came the roar and rat tle of”— “A rapidpßro gun. Was there any smoke to it!” C “Too dark torn bud Lknow there Was, though, for I’ve gone against the sama game in daylight, and I know how it looks. Well, the fellow who was firing”— “Only one? But, of course, there was but one handling it.” “There was only one of ’em firing, but he was a daisy all right. ‘Will it never stop?’ I asked my mate. “ ‘We’ll just take it anyway,’ says he. “As I said, we had been drinking. No body but one who had would ’a’ tried to doit” “Heroic man!” murmured the sympa thetic stranger. “So, when she came up close I, seeing she wasn’t going to stop for the crossing at all, made a grab for the hand bolt on the first box car. My mate jumped for a fiat and made it, but I missed and fell to the track, and the wheel went over this leg. “That’s the way it happened. If you don’t believe it, you can write to the doc tor at Cuba, Missoury, and he’ll tell you it’s gospel truth. I may be a mendicant, sir, but I am no liar.”—Chicago Record. A Sample of a Good Moro. Professor Dean C. Worcester contributes to The Century an article on “The Malay Pirates of the Philippines. ” Speaking of his guide, Professor Worcester says: Toolawee was considered a good Moro, and we were therefore Interested in certain incidents which gave us an insigh* into his real character. After satisfying him self by observation that we could use our rifles with some effect, he made us a rather startling business proposition in the fol lowing words: “You gentlemen shoot quite well with the rifle.” “Yes; we have had some experience.” “You desire to get samples of the clothing and arms of my countrymen for your collection?” “Yes.” “Papa (Genaral Arolas) told you if you met armed Moros outside the town to or der them to lay down their arms and re tire?” “Yes.” “Papa does not understand my people as I da They are all bad. When we meet them, do not ask them to lay down their arms, for they will come back again and get them and probably at tack us. Just shoot as many of them as possible. You can then take their arms and clothing, and I off their heads, shave their eyebrows, show them to papa and claim the reward for killing juramentados. ” He never really forgave us for refusing to enter into partnerhip with him on this very liberal basis. She Robbed Royalty. p Among the guests at Monte Carlo last year were a very ordinary looking couple who kept to themselves and paid but slight attention to the passing throng, but one night two royalties arrived, and after dinner the princess went up to the couple and spoke most graciously to them. Then every one wanted to know who they were. Undeniable evidence of breeding was observed about their man ners, and their unobtrusive ways indicated exclusiveness. An English lady was ob served talking to them one night, and the inquisitive crowd surged round her. “Do tell us who she is!” they chorused. “Oh,” was the reply, “that is the queen's mas seuse, who is now on her wedding trip. She has rubbed her royal highness* knee and her majesty’s feet, and—she has rub bed me all over I”—Exchange. She Objects to Cigarettes. A ridiculous rumor is current that the recent illness of the czarina has been due to slow poisoning, the arsenic being ad ministered—so it is said—by a trusted lady in waiting in the empress’ morning oup of chocolate. Sensational rumors of this kind are continually cropping up, and the mere fact that the czarina has long been in ill health was quite sufficient basis on which to found this highly colored story. That the empress is unpopular is certain ly not true. On the contrary, she has won the confidence of her husband’s peo ple by her gentleness and tact, her edict against her ladies in waiting smoking cigarettes being the one trivial grievance they have against her.—London Letter. Van Bmh' Violet Dining Boom. Jan Van Beers’ diningroom in his Paris home is a scheme of violet and silver col oring. Every shade from deepest purple to palest mauve is represented, even the windows being filled In with deep violet glass and studded with round disks simu lating amethysts. The dining table was made, after the artist’s own carefully thought out design, of the finest plate glass and copper. From the Interior come shafts of light, and the tablecloth need at night is transparent. The whole building is planned with similar magnificence.— Strand Magazine. Let Them Go On. •If it is true, as stated at the Detroit conference of boards of health, that one seventh of all the deaths are caused by tu berculosis and that the interruptions to commerce caused by the disease represent 1100,000,000 in two or three months, it is evident that the science of medicine has a great work before it in fighting consump tion for both humanitarian and pecuniary reasons. And if the Unitarians can fight it as effectually as they say they can they should by all means be given every facility fordoing so.—Philadelphia Ledger. Bcm* Hreat St i uagttu Yea, the strength es , nrissdjr Bears is I almost beyond belief. Ibuva read about the powerful muscles tn tbe arms at African gorillas, but none can compare with those iu the arms and shoulders of big grizzly bean. I have seen a grimly bear with one fore paw shot into useless ness pull its own 1,100 pounds of meat and bone up precipices and perform feats of muscle that trained athlete: could not do. I have seen grizzly bean carrying the carcasses of pigs that must have weighed 70 pounds several miles acron a mountain ride to their lair, and I have heard hunters tell ot having seen cows knocked down as if by a thunderbolt with cue blow of the fore paw of a boar. Throe summers ugo I spent the season in the coast mountains up in Monterr county, and one moonlight night I saw a big grizzly bear in the aet of carrying a dead cow home to her cub. X had a position on the mountain side where I could see every movement of the bear in the sparsely timbered valley below me. The critter carried the dead cow in her fore paws for at least three miles, across jagged, sharp rocks ten feet high, over fallen logs, around the rocky mountain sides, where even a jackass could not get a foothold, to a narrow trail up the steep mountain. She never stopped to rest for a moment, but went right along. I followed, and just about half a mile from the beast’s lair I laid her low. The heifer weighed at least 200 pounds, and the bear would have tipped the beam at about 450 pounds.—Chicago Inter Ocean. . General McDowell. I have never met any one who gave me a stronger impression of honesty and sincerity than Irvin McDowell. He was then in the prime of life—4o or 45 years old—powerfully built, but rather pon derous in movement, kindly and sim ple in manner, with a very pleasant, soldierly face, a water drinker and al most a vegetarian. After the cruel war was over I met him one day in some foreign city—Vienna, I think—and aS we were conversing he said, “Strange, isn’t it, our encounter today?” “Why so, general?” “Have you forgotten? This is the 21st of July—the anniversary of Bull Run. Had I won that battle I would have been one of the most popular men in the United States and you would have been another. I need not say how much it is the other way with us now. ” But Ido not think his cofmtrymen blamed him after all. When I went to the United States some years ago, I found him in command at San Francis co—much changed, aged and sad, but courteous and kindly as ever. I told him that I had in a place of honor at home the photograph which he gave me before he left my lodgings the day he was looking for Barry’s guns. “And I suppose,” he said, “your friends ask, •Who on earth was General Mc- Dowell?’”— Sir" W. H. Russell in North American Review. v A Great Screamer. More than 50 years ago Lachlan Mc- Donald left his home in Strathspey, Scotland, and went to the shores of Lake Winnipeg. He did not neglect to carry with him his beloved bagpipe, and many an evening it spoke to him of the old home beyond the seas. Even in the daytime, when he was busy in the woods felling trees, he would have it by his side, and on one occasion he had reason to be glad that it was so near. He was merrily swinging his ax, when he was suddenly surrounded by a party of Indians, who looked very for midable as they drew nearer, gesticu lating in -• a particularly threatening manner. Things began to seem ominous, when a happy thought came to the Scotchman. Seizing his bagpipe, he blew a blast so loud and long and shrill that the startled red meh looked upon him for a moment in consternation and then took to their heels, never stopping till the thick shadows of the forest hid them from the man who could give vent to such an unearthly scream. They did not forget that prolonged cry; from that time the Scotchman was known among them as “the great screamer of the palefaces.”—Exchange. A Famous English Inn. One of the oldest and most pictur esque inns in all England is the Crab Tree inn in Fordham. Here cyclists from all over Britain have congregated and here men famous in literary annals like Kipling, Haggard and Andrew Lang have “put up” for an hour or two to rest and quaff the ale dispensed by this ancient hostelry. The story runs that Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott once partook of the hospitality of the place, and the queen herself, it is reported, once stopped by the wayside to partake of a frugal bowl of milk and crackera The initials of men illustrious in Great Britain’s his tory are graven upon the surface of its deal tables, and its very window panes are littered with the names of Macaulay, Dickens and Thackeray. It has been put in at least one book, and J. Quiller Couch has used it as the scene for one at his terrible tragedies. Too Big a Contract. "Doctor,” said a man to his medical attendant, who had just presented a small bill of 85 shillings for treatment during a recent illness, "I have not much ready money. Will you take this put in trade?” "Oh, yes,” cheerfully answered the doctor. "I think we can arrange that, but what is your business?” "I am a cornet player," was the startling reply.—London Telegraph. Foor Baby.
