JUST A BIT OF LIFE.
A Pathetic Incident ot tlic Pavvn
h1io,i. In the Metropolis.
Sneaking into a small shop in an ob¬
scure uiut poverty ridden locality, the
man who “went broke” at the races
was realizing ou a superfluous article
of jewelry. A woman so poor and
pinched in feature, so marked with
care and desperation that it made him
feel sick to look at her, was holding
something under her shawl and wait¬
ing nervously until he should have lin
Isbed his transaction.
“Wait on her. She seems to be In a
hurry,” he said to the man behind the
counter, and at the word of permission
a carpenter’s piano was produced from
the shelter of the shawl.
“How much do you want?” queried
the unmoved pawnbroker mouotouous-
“Fifty cents,” replied the woman,
with a gulping in her throat and an
eager look In her eyes. She clutched
the money tightly and ran into another
creature, poor as herself, but bearing
her troubles In duller fashion. She
had a baby’s cloak, never costly and
much worn, on which she wanted to
borrow money, the same sum as the
other woman lmd asked for.
The man who had been offering a
diamond felt uncomfortable. “There,
give me 850. The stone’s worth four
times ns much.” And, seizing the mon¬
ey, he hurried after the woman who
b d just left the shop. lie was not
given to acts of charity, and ho felt
awkward, the more so as the woman
shrank from him as he accosted her.
“I beg your pardon,” he began, “but
here’s 85 I have no use for. Perhaps
you”—
“No, no!” she cried, drawing further
from him.
“For your child,” he said gently.
“My child is dead!” cried the woman,
with a queer sob, and fled into the
labyrinth of alleys and byways that
shelters so much wretchedness.—New
York Times.
Carton. Mexican Lain,
They have some very curious crimi¬
nal laws In Mexico. For Instance, it is
twice as much of an offense to muti¬
late the face of a woman as that of a
man. The law seems to bo based ou
the Idea that a woman’s best posses¬
sion Is her beauty and that to mar it
does her a great Injury.
There is another curious law. If a
person should be woumled in an en¬
counter, the punishment to the offend¬
er Is fixed by the number of days his
victim has to stay in the hospital or
under a doctor’s care. A line Is fixed
at 40 days In the way of a general divi¬
sion. If the Injured man occupies more
than 40 days in his recovery, the pen¬
alty doubles up.
An Impudent Fraud.
An Impudent fraud was perpetrated
upon a Manchester bauk by one of Its
customers, who opened an account
with some few hundreds of pounds.
The man, after a few weeks, drew two
checks, each within a pound or so of
bis balance, aud, selecting a busy day,
presented himself at one end of the
counter, while nu accomplice, when ho
saw that his friend’s cheek had been
cashed, immediately presented his own
to a cashier at the other end. Both
cashiers referred the checks to the
ledger clerk, who. thinking the same
cashier bad asked him twice, said
“right” to both checks. The thieves
were never caught.

The Story of the Wizard and the l r n.

As the Wizard was passing through
the forest one day the Hare put her
self in his path and said:
“0 Wizard, I am pursued by the Fox,
hunted down by the Hog and followed
L>y the Feasant: 1 pray thee change
me into some other animal.”
“Yes; you do have a pretty hard time
of it,” replied the Wizard, “and I'll
grant your prayer. Will it suit you to
become a Fox?”
“I could ask for nothing better.”
The change was made, and the Fox
expressed his everlasting gratitude and

made off, but only two days bad pass¬
ed when he sought out the Wizard and
said:

by bears and pursued by mobs of men,
and every way I turn I find a trap set
for me! Take pity and change me back

“True,” replied the politician.

A Famous Square.
There is said to be no equal In the
world to the grand and Imposing
square of Faris, the Flaee de la Con¬
corde. On one side of it is the Tulle
ries, on the opposite side the Champs
Elysees and on a third the river Seine.
In the center stands the obelisk of
I.uxon, a magnificent monolith of red
Egyptian granite, 74 feet high and
weighing 500,000 pounds. This obelisk
was one of two of the same shape and
size, erected in 1350 B. C., by Baine¬
ses the Great at the entrance of the
temple of Thebes. Mohammed All,
pasha of Egypt, presented It to the
French government, and In 1S3G It
was removed to Its present position In
the Place de la Concorde. The re
rnoval and erection on the new site re¬
quired an outlay of £80,000 and the
employment of S00 men, the obelisk
being transported to France in a ves¬
sel built especially for the purpose.
The Flace de la Concorde is rich in
historic Interest. It was there that the
guillotine was erected in the “reign
of terror,” after the death of Louis
XVI, and it was there that the signal
was given for the attack on the Bastille
In 1780. Loqjs XVI and Marie An¬
toinette were beheaded there in 1703,
and It was the scene of great rejoic¬
ing in 1S4S, when France was pro¬
claimed a republic. The Place de la
Concorde has also been termed the
Place Louis XV and Flaee de la Revo¬
lution.
Rnttlesnnke Poison,
"Years ago, when I was n boy nt
home,”, said a southern man, “an un¬
cle of mine, who lived near Mont¬
gomery, was out on his plantation one
day when he saw an enormous rattle¬
snake stretched In a furrow of a cot¬
ton field. He seized a lioe lying near
by and made a pass nt the monster.
At the same time it struck out at hint
and broke off one of Its fangs on the
edge of the hoe blade. My uncle dis¬
patched the snake and then picked up
the fang and brought it to- the house
as a curiosity. It was sharp ns, a

tip showed where some of the virus

Cnnldn’t Sec tlie Joke.
Once Offenbach graciously accepted
the Invitation of some friends to visit
'’’em In Etretnt. As Ills hosts were
waiting for him at the hotel, one of
them, who was very Intimate with the
composer, suggested:
“Let us give him a rousing wel¬
come."
The Idea was taken up and devel¬
oped. One of the party possessed a
collection of old weapons. This was
ransacked, and some two dozen young
fellows were soon equipped as halberd¬
iers. Another mounted a donkey and
waved the (lag of the club.
When Offenbach’s carriage came
In sight, n drum beat, the halberdiers
presented arms and fireworks were
set off from the balcony at 3 o’clock
In the afternoon.
As the composer stepped to the
ground a venerable old man approach¬
ed and presented to lilm the key of the
hotel on a silver platter.
Offenbach, vain as a peacock and
accustomed to nil sorts of queer re¬
ceptions, entirely failed to see the joke,
though It was as broad as anything
In “The Grand Duchess” or "La Belle
Helene.” He took it all seriously ns
a tribute to his genius, and, with tears
In his eyes and in a voice that shook
with emotion, he murmured:
“Gentlemen, this is too much, too
much!”
He Lifted the Ticker,
A London detective visiting Glasgow
met a Scotch police oflicinl on the
street and In the talk that followed
spoke contemptuously of the ability
of Scotch thieves as compared with
the English exports.
Taking this as an aspersion east on
the astuteness of the Scottish police ns
well, the Glasgow detective was net¬
tled nml thirsted for revenge. Look¬
ing around, lie espied a little fellow
who had heen dogging them and who
was known as an ex pert pickpocket.
Crossing the street he addressed the
boy, and, pointing to the retreating
figure of the English detective, he ask¬
ed If he would know him again.
"Aye,” replied the boy. “Wliataboot
It?”
“I want you to lift his ticker. Ho
says no one In Glasgow can relieve
him of It.” ,
"Ah, It's a’ rlcht. Sec ony green?”
“Honor bright, Tommy! I'll give
you half a crown when you deliver up
the watch to me."
“Y"c will? An whnt else?”
“Nothing else.”
“Let’s see, then. I’m to lift the tick¬
er, nn you're to pay half a crown for’t
on the spot?”
“Yes, that’s It.”
"An wad ye ken it if ye seen it?”
“I would among a thousand.”
“Is that it, then?” And tlie boy, div¬
ing Into his trousers pocket, displayed
the Identical watch and explained tlint
he had seeared It “while the gout was
chaflia aboot the prigs.”

The heathen Chinee deems the dese¬

TIi is cyclone story Is vouched for by
the Minneapolis Better Way. It is
that a cow which was picketed ou a

carried up the length of her rope, about
GO feet, where she remained until the
storm had passed, when she quietly
climbed down the rope and resumed
her grazing.

One of London’s most famous streets
Is l’lecndilly, which consists of shops
the ruffs, or “pickndills,” worn by the
and fashionable dwelling houses. The
name Is said to have been derived from
gallants of James I aud Charles 1 , the
stiffened points of which resembled
spear heads or pickndills. Some years
before the Introduction of these collars,
however, “Ficcadille” is referred to,
and It Is surmised that tlie collar may
have been so called from being worn
by the frequenters of Piecadilla House.
