A'Mnlgts Story"'
There was a one legged mao at the
Brash street depot the other day who
was asking for alma, and who d
that his 1% had been bitten off by
shark. One of the men aooosted looked
him over and said:
"I saw yon in Buffalo about a month
ago, and yon then told me that an alli
gator hit yonr leg off."
“Yes."
“1 saw yon in Clovelandiastweek,and
yon then claimed to have fallen under
street car."
“Yes."
“Do yon change yonr story in every
townr
“Most always."
“Well, now, tell me how yon really
did loss yonr leg and Ml give yon
"mo.”
“Honest?”
“Yes."
“Well, dr, I jumped in front of
mowing machine to save the lives of
fivo or six littlo children, and while I
lost my leg not one of them got
scratch."
Don't believe it, but hero's yonr ton,'
said the man as the crowd raised a laugh.

Pink wants to know how to cure en

dark rings round the eyes. All three

This is a nice thing for tho complexion
in all cases, whether to remove tho shiny

A Story of Byron,
Among the stories related in Mr. Will
iam Archer’s new hfo of Macready, the
actor, is this: Macrauly had won dis
tinction in the province, and wishing to
appear in London , .ught Lord Byron's
influence to prot iroun engagement at
Drury Lane. Aloe- g other things tho
person who spoke to lord Byron in his
behalf mentioned t hat Macready was a
man of excellent character. "Ah, then,'
add Lord Byron, “1 suppose he asks five
pounds a week more for his morality,
and the negotiation fell through.
If the salt held in solution is the ocoon
were spread over the earth it wonld
form a layer of more than thirty net
deep covering the whole globe.
A Hint Aeons lmvn|.
Dr. Leahy, a hone trainer, says: When
a horse stops and proposes to torn aronnd
don’t resist the tom, hot give him a qniot
horizontal poll in the direction he want*
to turn, eo os to carry Mm farther aronnd
than be intended to go, and, if possible,
keep him going aronnd half adozen times.
In most esses this will upset all his cal
culations, and he will go quietly on with
out much ado. If six tarns will not do
give him twenty. In fact, if he will keep
on turning to your rein you are sure to
him, and leave him at yonr com
mand. If he will not torn and will book
to the rein, keep Mm going backward in
the direction yon want to go. He will
soon get tired of that and prefer to go
with the right end forward; bnt before
yon let Mm go give him decidedly more
backing than be likes.—8L Louis Globc-
namorrat.

Looy Webb Hayes was especially food
of recounting her own defeats and mis-1

one evening at a dinner at the WMte

in tbe house with my young
est children and their colored nurse,
Winnie. The men servants had gone to
their homes before dark.
“Suddenly I thought of poor Christo
pher Columbus, our long haired, pug
nacious Angora goat, ont in the pasture.
It seemed cruel to leave him there with
out any shelter, so presently I went and
asked Winnie to get a lantern and come
with me.
“At the born we found a great box, into
which we pat same straw, and together
we rolled and pushed and carried that
box across the rood and into the pasture.
"Christopher saw the light and come

fence, and tried to coax Mm into the

Dan's Forcible AYgamsotatWe Method.
At the vtry outset of our adventures 1
discovered that the Zunls ore special
objects of Don’s antipathy. Oar guide
hates these Indians as a wMte man hates
a rattlesnake, and at times took measures
wMch, to say tbe least, were very forci
ble. While Jim was building a fire to
get oar morning meal Dan went to the
corral to look after the hones. There he
found a big back insido the inclosnre and
without a wal'd knocked him down.
Dan's big fist raised a lamp under the
Indian’s cyo almost as large os tho fist
itself, and during our stay in the pueblo
that Indian, whom we passed perhaps
fifty times, nsed one eye only. Wosawno
fewer than five hocks similarly marked
daring oar sojourn in Znni, and when
we wont to Ojo Calicnto tho first Indian
we mot, Antoniovico by name, hod a
similar disfiguration upon his face, sus
tained in on argnment previously held
with Dan about a sock of oats.
I expostulated with Dsn about this lit
tle recreation. He looked snlky for a
mlnnto and then said:
“Young man, Tvo lived among these
redskins for thirty-nine years and I don't
believe yon con tell me much about them.

Bow They Carry Money.
One of the queerest sights is to see how
different immigrants cany their money.
Most English immigrants carry their
coin in a small case, attached to a chain,
wMch they keep in a pocket os they
wonld a watch.
Irishmen always have a little canvas
bog in which notes and coin ore crammed
together. Irish girls, on the other hand,
generally have their money sewed on the
inside of their dresses.
Germans carry their money in a belt
round their waists, and the belt is usually
an elaborate and costly affair, no matter
how poor the immigrant may be.
The French mostly cony a small brass
tabs in which they can place forty or
fifty twenty frano pieces and remove
thorn very readily one at a time.
There ora very few Italians whodo not
carry a large tin tabs in which they
keep their paper money or silver coins,
and this tabs is hang round their neck
by a email chain or cord.
sdea and Norwegia
have an lmmenso pocket
generally been need by their fathers and
grandfather* before them, and wMoh
us in it enough leather to make a pair
of boots.
The Slavonians and Hungarians carry
their money in their long hoots, together
with a knife, fork and spoon.—Chatter.
dam* Cosily Wood Work.
An interesting relic is the wood work
of tho boudoir of Lonieo de la Vnllioro,
wall panels, dado, celling and doors, all
painted a soft cream white and adorned
with paintings of enpida and roecs and
flattering bine ribbons, relieved with
light arabeeqnee of gold. These have
been set np and pat in place, ao that the
effect of tbe dainty little room can be
folly appreciated. The panels for the
walla of another boudoir, of the reign of
Lonia XV, were in pals pink satin, em
broidered with the fine silk cord called
cordonneret, with garlands of flowers
mingled with birds and butterflies, the
work being ao beautifully executed aa to
resemble a water color drawing in its
grace and finish. This set ia veined, if I
remember rightly, at |S 600.—Paris Lct-
