THE TRAINED FLEAS. HOW A PAIR OF COCKNEYS FOOLEd’ THE CALIFORNIANS. Patrons of the San Francisco Fair Were Neatly iluaibi<£Eed by Two London la lirs—A Lc.tare- Who Learned a i vwn Talk. 'W. a I Wl»— *' " Among the attractions at the San Fran- . cisco fair was a trained flea exhibit. Aft- ■ er the exposition closed the proprietors ol : the insect circus h.id a row. The patrons , cf the trained flea outfit will be interested I to learn that the show was a fake of the 1 rankest kind; that 90 per cent of the in sects were dead when exhibited, and that the men who manipulated the concern knew no more about the true inwardness of training and handling fleas than they did of the social habits of the tuberculosis bacilli. The warring partners were Frank Ry man and John Burgess. They are both English, and Burgess, who is a clean sltfived, merry faced young fellow, with a cockney brogue that is redolent of White chapel or some equally notorious slum in faraway foggy London, exhibited a fond ness for bicycling, and it was at the cyclcry that he first convoyed to an admiring crowd the information that the flea show was a delusion and a snare. “It was this way,” began Bnrgess in choice Londonese. “Me and Ryman and two other fellows 'ad a concession for sell in cutlery, but we couldn’t make nothink. We wos driven to desperation, an it wos a case of do somethink or starve. Well, I gets it into me nut that a trained flea show would ’it tho public, but there wasn’t a bloomin one of us knew tho fust think about ’andlin or ’arncssin a flea. “Os course I’d seen genuine flea teams in the hold country, where they ’arness ’em with ’orse’air and hexibit ’em in mag nified glass cases, but I don’t know no more’n Hadam ’ow tho thing wos done. ‘■That didn’t stop us, though. Wo got a Jap to make hus a nice little houtfit of tiny paper carriages with copper wheels, and we gets a place fixed hup for giving hexibitions. Fust we got some fleas and began hexpeiimcntin just to see if we coulu tumble to tho racket of ’arnessin ’em. Wo couldn’t. They was too lively. ‘‘Finally wo got some very fine copper wire and stuck a piece of it into ono of the flea’s ’aunchoa. First wo stuck it in too far, and then the flea died, but wo kept on hexperimentin, and we found just ’ow far wo could spear a flea with a good Chawnce of kcepln ’im alive until tho show was over. Wo got tho thing down pretty fine, and then I got outside and did a bit . of spielin, while Ryman stood indoors and speared tho fleas and made them fast to the carriages. "When everything was ready, I’d rush hinside and superintend the hexhibitlon, and I toll you it was a ticklish job, ’cos seven out of tho eight fleas would be dead before tho show began. “Any’ow I’d give the people a nice talk about ’ow ’ard it was to train and ’arness a flea, an ’ow yer 'ad to ’ave a certain brand of flea, with plenty of brains, or you <«|.’l<l never make nothing out of ’em. I us«S Aj tell ’em that it took six months to hoducato a young flea, and we ’ad a real live flea with a silver chain around 'is neck, which I drew their attention to as a ilea that was just learning is business. I also told ’em ’ow wo ’ad to change a flea's gait and hall the rest of it. “ 'Ow did wo get tho fleas? Why, Ry man used to lasso stray dogs around the fair grounds, an wo got all wo wanted. ’Ow did wo feed ’em? I used to feed ’em, and it makes mo blood boll when I think of tho bingratltudo of that feller Ryman. Look at mo harm here. Thom fleas used to feed’an mo ’art’s blood. ■ Generally when tho show was about to commence all the fleas but ono would bo dead,” continued Burgess. “But I used to put a bravofacoon it and tilt the paste board card they wos workin, on and tho carriage and fleas would roll down ’ill. Then I’d give another little talk and watch mo chawnce so as I could tilt tlio card the other way, and the team would glide down ’ill again. ‘•Why, tho public stood it like lambs, but I often thought as 'ow Ryman would queer tho show. 'E used to lay it on too chick. ’E kept on saying, ‘Ladies and gents, it takes two 'ours to ’arness a flea, and there’s only another man an incself— that’s me fawthcr—-as is in this country at present as knows 'ow to do It. ’ ‘ I said to him one day: ‘Look ’ere, Ry ma i, you’re a-comin it too strong. There's mil, ions of people in this country an tho chawnces are that ono or two on’em are ae clever as you or your bloomin fawther. Just draw it a bit mild, cull, or they’ll tumble that the ’ole business is a red, raw fake. “Well, sir, it was wonderful ’ow people stood the show. Wo ’ad ministers of the gospel and governesses and all sorts come in, and me ’art used to bo in mo mouth tryin to find hanswers for the questions they basked. But I hpxplained hevery thing to the queen’s taste, an I tell you I learned a ’ole lot about fleas just by lis tenin to meself talkin. “Sometimes ail the fleas would be dead, ind I’d slide ’em down tho card quick tnd then say, ‘Now, ladies and gents, the bentertainment’s hover.’ “ ‘Thehentertainment?’ said a fly lookin bloke one day, 'where hiu ’ell is the hen tertainmont?’ ‘ Well, I just said something humorous and turned tho laugh hagainst 'im, and the crowd went out laughin and good na- tured-. - We had ono flea etuck on a tight rope, and I used to toll ’em that ’o was tho best trained of tho lot. '’E can do hanythlnk ■ but talk, ’ says I, and all the timo ’e was as dead as a door jtall. Wo ’ad ’im glued to tho rope with wax. “We ’ad glasses for tho ladies to look at the hinsecks, but the place was dark, and I used to tell ’em they got a better heffect by watchin ’em with tho naked h’ye; “One day a party of ladies come as I suspected was connected with the fair, an 1 says to ’em, ‘Ladies, it Is a naw sty cold day, an tho hinsecks is chilled an won’t work,’ an they took it all in an went away. Takin it right through, I believe ’alf tho folks thought they was lookin at a genuine show, but the other ’alf tumbled it was a fake. "Sometimes when I’d notice a flea as - ■ya* just goiu to peg out I’d put ’im on the palm of me ’and and say, ‘Just watch ’ini jump when ’e ’ears my voice. ’ Os course ’e’d jump in his dyin conwulsions, but the people all thought it was straight goods. ’ ’ “Didn’t the cruelty to animals people get after you?” asked one of Burgess’ lis teners. ‘■’Ow could they?” replied the quick witted cockney. “They wasn’t on to our graft, an even if they ’ad been it wasn’t as if we were torturin a ’orsc or anything like that. A ’orse is a hanimal, but a Bea’s honly a hinseck.” —San Francisco Examiner. A Meeting Point In, Africa. , is not big enough to contain England, France, Germany, Portugal and Italy.

THE DAILY PRESS, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1894. IONIAN MARRIAGES. They Are Rare, but When They Do Occur They Are Events. Marriages vc.y seldom take place on the island. Only six have taken place during the last io years, and none was celebrat ed in the place troui August- ISS3, until March, 1890, writes Malcolm Ferguson in a Scotch periodical A marriage, as a ex-ncmi rule, takes place on a Thursday, and on the evening cf the preceding Mon day the invitations aro given in person by tho bride and her bridesmaid. After dusk they set off together and commence at one end of the island—i. e., at the extreme eud of the houses—calling at every dwell ing. inviting both old and young to the wedding, until they reach tho ether end. The bridegroom and his best man begin at the opposite end and go through the same routine as tho bride <md her maid has done, so that there is none of tho In habitants left without a double invitation to the wedding. On the Tuesday after the invitations all the housewives proceed to tluxbride’s house loaded with nice plump 9-month-old chick ens, big kcbbucks of sweet milk cheese, mutton, ham and innumerable other dain ties for the marriage feast. On the wed ding day the friends and relatives of tho bride assemble at her father's house, and tho bridegroom’s friends and relatives as semble at his house. In the respective houses tho company sit down and partake of a substantial lunch, usually consisting of bread and biscuits, butter and cheese,. etc.,andadram —"maybe twa; wha kens?” After lunch the separate parties start from their respective dwellings in procession, preceded by a piper in full highland cos tume, the gaudy ribbons of his braw plop waving hither and thither in tho breeze, to meet the other party, as previously ar ranged, at the church. After the solemn marriage ceremony is over there is usually a hurry skurry, all the men trying who will bo the first to kiss the blooming, bash ful bride and shako hands with tho hoppy bridegroom. On leaving tho church the two parties join. The whole company then return in pro cession, headed by the two pipers, to the place previously prepared, usually a barn, to have a dance, which is continued until tho company aro summoned, about 10 o’clock, to tho bride’s house, where they all sit down to a’sumptuous supper, the tables groaning with tho good things of this life. The tables are always set in a barn for tho occasion, there being no room large enough in any of tho dwellings to accom modate all tho guests. After a good while spent at the wedding feast, with toasts and favorite Gaelic songs, the company again return to tho dance, which is kept up with spirit and joyous gleo until break of day, when tho company separate and return to their respective homes. —New York Advertiser. STOPPED THE DADY’S CRY. A Bachelor Brings His Knowledge of Ha man Nature Into Play. A bachelor is not usually credited with much knowledge about the proper treat ment of children, but sometimes they step in where angels fear to tread. A well known num about town who is pretty well on in years and not very fond of children stopped in to see a married sister the other day and found her trying to amw i her little boy, nged 5 years. Not long after ho arrived she stepped out of the room to at tend to some household matter or other, leaving him alone with the child. The latter eyed him dubiously for some min utes. Ho was a spoiled child If ever there was one and had no idea of making pro niiscuous acquaintances. The bachelor, tried to make the little one laugh, but all ho got for his antics was a sour look. Finally,without any warning, the chllp burst out crying. Hero was a quandary, to bo sure. Ho didn’t dare to pick the boy up and soothe him. His attempts in a verbal line were dismal failures. What should ho do? Finally a thought struck him. He looked at tho crying youngster, and tho crying youngster looked at him through his tears. Ho was evidently much pleased with tho impression he was mak ing. •‘Cry louder,” said he. Tho child obeyed. ‘‘Louder yet,” urged the bachelor. A yell went up that would have dono credit to an Indian. ‘‘Cry louder still,” insisted tho man, and tho boy did his best to obey. ‘■Louder!” fairly howled his uncle. “I won’t,” snapped tho infant, and ho shut his mouth with a click and was quiet forthorostof theday.—Philadelphia Press. lilueblooded Economy. Tho head of a very great family in York shire was told by his man of business that ho must retrench. Ho said he was perfect ly willing to and set to work to see how economics could bo effected. Every de partment was looked into—the house, the gardens, tho stables, and so on. There were 120 horses in the stables, not includ ing hunters. Tho number could not bo re duced because surely you would not have the boys go afoot. The gardens must be kept up, and how could you keep up gar dens without gardeners? Tho domestic es tablishment was found none too largo for the size of tho house. It was tho same story everywhere. Finally,after some fruit less weeks of inquiry, Lord X. remarked one morning at breakfast: ‘‘l notice that wo have four kinds of preserves on tho ta ble for breakfast. I think we might man age with two.” This heroic suggestion was acted on, and from that day to this the family and guests in this house have had to make a breakfast as best they could with only two sorts of marmalade. When this retrenchment had been effected, the subject was droppod.—New York Trib une. A Story of Alexandre Dumas. This story is told of Alexandra Dumas. It is well known that he could not refuse a request —at least not often. One day he gave a man a letter to one es his inti mate friends in Brussels. Tho friend, a wealthy merchant, received him as though he had been Dumas’ own brother, intro duced him to his circle of acquaintances, placed his stable at the man’s disposal and did everything in his power to niqj:o life pleasant for Dumas’ friend. After tho lapse of 14 days tho man suddenly disap peared and with him the best horse in the merchant’s stable. Six months later the merchant visited Dumas and thanked him for tho kind of people he recommended to his consideration. ‘‘Dear friend,” he add ed, ‘ your friend is a shark. He stoic tho best horse in my stable.” Astonished, Dumas raised his hands toward heaven and cried, "What, ho stole from you too!” —Family Magazine. Two ftittle bloons of Mars. The two moons of Mars, Deimos and Phobos, were observed at the observa tory at Blagstaff on Sept. 10. Deimos, the outer one, is the smaller, being, it is estimated, about six miles in diame ter, while its companion is slightly larger, some seven miles in diameter, tho entire surface of either of them be ing not moro than the area of some great farms in the far west. Tho possibility of seeing such small objects so great a distance is a triumph of modern optics, they being observed at a distance of more than 40,000,000 miles.
