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. UNCLE ELI’S FABLES. The Story of the Wizard and the l r n. haiijiy Hare. 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 , r m THE WIZARD AND THE HARE. made off, but only two days bad pass¬ ed when he sought out the Wizard and said: “O my good friend, 1 am hunted by bounds, chased by wolves, ambushed 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 t 0 MoS.-“H^“‘as you say,” lie replied the Wizard, “but let this a lesson to you.

Definition of “Bonslsni.” “You said you didn’t believe in polit¬ ical bosses,” suggested the voter. “True,” replied the politician. “And yet I know of no one more au¬ tocratic than you, 110 one more ready to override the will of the majority whenever opportunity offers. What do you call ‘bossism,’ anyway?” “Bossism.” answered the politi¬ cian, “is dictation by some one else. If you ever get very deep in politics, you will readily understand it.”—Chi¬ cago Fost.

A lot of newspaper editors In are asking, “How did the Chinese their modern guns?” Why, they sold tea and bought them, of course.—K 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.

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.” Oriental I’cmtohiucnt.. The heathen Chinee deems the dese¬ cration of graves one of the most un¬ pardonable of crimes, and, according to law, any man finding another in the act of robbing a graveyard may legally kill the villain on Hie spot with¬ fear of consequences.

Up III tlie Air. TIi is cyclone story Is vouched for by the Minneapolis Better Way.

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.

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.
