Some of l‘«*rUiii** H* 1 *'*^#** Jtwrtming j TrleU* \Vl»»«*l* tf* j Perkins i« ^t, ,‘uignTar an<l u practical; joker of ’jrtoEverest type, Oite of his | |M‘Culinr^>lo;usantries is to suddenly halt j a prmipons individual on the; struct, buttonhole him and remark with j bool Assumption: “I beg your pardon, sir, but I think j wm have made a mistake.” j “What is that, sir?” the victim is like ly to ask. “Well,” Perkins will reply with the utmost audacity, “this city does not be long to any one man or set of men. You may think you own it, but you don’t. See?” and Perkins will hurry away, leav ing the pompous man to bis own reflec tions. Sometimes lie varies this interesting peforinance in this highly original fash ion: Stepping up to a total stranger he will beg for a light for his cigarette. This trilling favor having lieeu extended, lie will engage his victim in conversa tion for a moment. When another stranger appears Perkins hails him. As he approaches lVrkins introduces him to the first man. “Ah. Mr. Smith, permit w to present you to my friend, Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown, Mr. Smith.” Of course the men shake hands and Perkins takes his departure, leaving the strangers to extricate themselves from their embarrassment as l»esfc they can. One day Perkins entered a small east side dry goods store with a friend. Ranged in front of the counter were a row of stools. Upon these the men seat ed themselves. In a moment a dapper young clerk came up anil asked Perkins what he desired. For an instant he seemed puzzled for a reply, but soou his eyes rested upon the familiar sign “If yon don’t see what yon want ask for it.” That furnished him with a clew. “Well,” he said in measured tones, “you can bring me a plate of corned l»eef hash, nicely browned, with two poached eggs on top; also a enp of hot coffee. What’s yours, George?” he added, turn ing to his friend. “Gimme the same,” he responded. All the girls in the store stared hard &t the impudent fellows, and the clerk's eyes begun to, bulge. “Geutlemen,” he replied, with a show of calmness, “you have made a slight mistake; this is a dry goods store and not a restaurant. Do I look like u waiter?” “I am not here to answer questions, young man,” said Perkins, as with his friend he rose and moved toward the door, “but if yon can>. fill orders you’d better go out of the business or take in your sign.” And the jokers vanished out the door. Perkins is still at large.—New York Herald. Two Stories About the Dibit*. According to a Etorv now current In Washington clubs, Commander Scliley of the navy received among his boyhood Christmas presents a handsome Bible from a rich aunt. After a moment's re flection, they pay, he exclaimed: “I'm np to that dodge," nnd began examining the volnme eagerly leaf by leaf until he reached the Sermon on the Mount, where he found a ten dollar kill pinned to tho page. This is no better story than that of George Hayward's gift of a big Bible to the old city club. In the presence of witnesses he pnt a ten dollar bill in the boolfc-at what chap ter is not stated, The volnme lay on the center table In tho reading room. At the end pf ayear. in the presence of the same witnesses, Mr. Hayward opened tho Bible and found his ten dollar bill just where he had left it. There was nobody In that clnb who was “np to the dodge” which yonng Schley penetrated so promptly.—Buffalo Courier. A BOY HERO.

And in that shudder! thought Ilethorw to perish foi said, and loosing his Co tho sweet spirit of imsoilU Was not his lifo r. glorious i -Elizabeth Akers in Harper' Ho Ho tixpi In a thriving village of Oxford county are people who still enjoy relating a little incident illustrative of the confusion likely to fall upon the stranger to onr language who uses synonyms indiscrimi nately. The pastor of the leading church had made arrangements to exchange with a good German brother of the same denomination. Having himself been witness to some ludicrous mistakes of that worthy, the minister was not with out a feeling of uneasiness. The German having arrived in the vil lage Saturday was courteously invited to a {Aeasnnt gathering near the parson age. The elite of the town were pres ent. All went well with our German friend until ho was introduced to the beautiful Mis3 Howard, whose match less complexion was the pride of the vil lage. Feeling that such beauty deserved some recognition, und wishing to com pliment the beautiful stranger, the Ger man exclaimed with his beaming ad miration, “Why, fraulein, whafn beau tiful hide you have!”—Lewiston Journal. The Mushroom. It is commonly believed that the mushroom literally grows in a uight, bo that it lias come to be emblematic of sudden development, but the truth is quite otherwise. It is very likely to re quire several weeks for its formation, and up to the time of its appearance in the light of day it remains beneath tho surface, very much compressed and held in small compass. Then comes a moist night, and the cells of which the fungus is conqxised are greatly expanded, so that it thrusts itself out above ground But ft is no heavier, though so much bigger, than days before, perhaps, when* it lay hidden in small compos* under the top layer of soil, a perfect mu«hroom.— Washington Star, Air Ship* Too Fititt. Englishman—Aw—where can Hi. book for Sar Francisco? Gotham Joker— Depends on how yon want to travel. The ticket office for the express trains, which run through in four days, is just around the corner; but if yon are in a hurry you’d better take the air ship, which darts over in twenty minutes. Englishman—Aw—much obliged, but has Hi hintend to write a book hon Ham- erica Hi will take the liexpress train.— New» York Weekly. An Indian Hr lief. There is a btdief prevalent in Indie that if a man be sleepiug, no mutter where, and a Shesh Nag come aud sit beside him, with a hood spread over the sleeper’s face, the latter is sure to be a son of fortune. Popular tradition as signs tho same reason to the rise of Haida Ali, of Mysore, from a common soldier.—American Notes and Queries. To Save Coal Blits. A secret chemical powder introduced abroad when sprinkled over the top of the coal in a newly made fire cements the upper part of the fuel together and causes the coal to burn at the bottom and throw the heat into the room, in stead of allowing a large part of it to go np the chimney.—New York Journal. Indiana contains only a dozen men who can properly bo ranked as million aires. And there ace probably not more than two men in the state who are worth flg000,000 aptoe. WBBm Causa of Corpulency. It is very evident that corpulency is due to some peculiarity within the sys tem which favors the increase and stor age of fat, but the actual cause is yet to be determined. Physicians who have been corpulent, and therefore have had the most favorable opportunities for study and experiment, have all reached tho same conclusions—namely, that cor pulency indicates a degree of ill health —not of excellent health, as many peo ple suppose. They also hold that one and very potential cause of the abnor mal storage of fat is tho lack of .func tional activity in certain important or gans of the body, and particularly those concerned in freeing the system of waste products. In other words, when the system is clioked up with waste less fat is consumed therein, and its accumula tion is favored.—Boston Herald. A Ilutterlly Social. t A "butterfly social" is one of the novel entertainments for raising funds in char itable work. The room is decorated with butterflies of tissne paper, nnd in tho cep ter of tlip cejjing a huge butterfly of wire and thin silk or paper is suspended, some three feet from one wing tip to the other. The legs of the insect are of wire, painted black. Those who preside over the affair are dressed to resemble different varieties of butterflies, in bine and silver chiffon, black, brown and yel low velvet, with gauze wings and a but terfly for a headdress.—Exchange. Steel lt.ll. .. fit Prop.. In consideration of the serious inroads which are being made on the timber of this country by tho use of wooden props in mines, it is satisfactory to note that a patent has been taken out for a method of making steel rails into pit props and supports for collieries, mines, tnunels, bridges, etc. The rails are cut at tbeir ends and suitably framed together. In point of cost it is said that this inodo of propping compares favorably with brick ing and other systems.—New York Com mercial Advertiser. for Infants and Children. “Castor!* is ao well adapted to children that I recommend it as superior to any prescription known to me.” H. A. Archer, M. D., Ill So. Oxford St., Brooklyn, N. Y. “The use of ‘Castoria* is so universal and its merits so well known that it seems a work of supererogation to endorse It. Few are the intelligent families who do not keep Castoria within easy reach.” Carlos Martth, D.D., New York City. Late Pastor Bloomlngdale Reformed Church.
