“I was in Washington once,” said a
man at the club, “when Tom Keed was
the czar of the house of rexn-esenta
tites. He was bolding forth with ear
nestness on some theme to a group of
friends when that man you see over
there_by the cigar counter pushed his
way through the crowd, grasped Reed
by the hand and said effusively: 'Hello,
Tom. old boy! How do you do?
“Reed responded in a manner that
was more of a shake for the man
than for his hand and went on with
his talk. When our friend over there
had edged out of the crowd, someone
said: ‘You didn’t seem to be happy
over him, Reed. Who is your friend,
anyway?’
“Reed drawled out, ‘He’s a fellow
from New York -who knows more men
who don’t want to know him than any
other man In the United States.’ ’’—De

Thrifty Squanderers.
When Napoleon entered Genoa In
1805, the rich patricians of the city
exerted themselves to gain the favoi
of the conqueror by all sorts of flat
tering attentions. The most elaborate
of these was a banquet patterned after
the famous one offered by Antony to
Cleopatra.
The tables were set in an artificial
garden, floating on pontoons, which
were towed out to sea during the projp
ress of the feast. At the conclusion ol
the banquet—again in imitation of An
tony and Cleopatra—all the costly golf
and silver plate was flung into the sea
This little tribute of honor to the cm
peror was not so expensive as it seem
ed, for the floating garden was sur
rounded with nets, and the plate war
subsequently recovered.

THE ELDER SOTHERN.
•A Connie of the Celebrated Come.
tUnn'e Practical Jokes.
Many stories are told of Sot hern's
original methods of entertaining his
friends ftt dinner, and possibly the
most amusing is that of the belated
guest. When, late in the dinner, this
friend was announced, Mr. Sothern ex
claimed, “Let us all hide under tho
table,” and down they all went save
Mr. Sothern himself, who remained
seated. When the tardy guest entered.
Mr. Sothern rose and received him
with exquisite courtesy, saying, “When
your name was announced, my guests,
for some unaccountable reason, all hid
under the table.” After a few mo
meats of discomfort one by one they
crept out and back to their seats.
I heard from both Ylr. Sothern and
Mrs. Viuceut this account of an out
burst of fun at a dinner given by him
Id his parlor at the Revere House: A
the guests, ten in number, were gath
ered about the open fire before dinnot
a stout, pompous waiter, afflicted with
short breath, added the last touches to
his dinner table, already spread. Ten
large, square pieces of bread were
placed with mathematical precision
one at each plate, and then he left th
room to bring the wine. Mr. Sothern
saw ills opportunity and, calling his
dog, cried: “Tiger, the breadl Quick,
Tiger!” And the nimble little gray
hound bounded lightly upon the tabls
again and again as he heard his mas
ter’s Imperative “Fetch the bread!”
until each piece had been removed te
a dark corner near the fire. -.
Upon the waiter’s return all was si
lence. The expectant look upon Mr.
Sotliern's face showed only that dinner
was awaited. Standing for a moment,
bewildered, the waiter, seeing no bread
upon the table, hesitatingly turned to
thp door, then retraced his steps t
the table, examined it carefully and
hurriedly left the room. He soon re
appeared with a fresh plate of bread,
and again at each plate a piece was
carefully placed, and he retired with
the empty plate. “Quick, Tiger! Fetch
it aga n! More bread! More breadl”
And once more each piece was re
moved before the grave waiter reap
peared, and all were again silent. One
look at the table and cue at the
guests, and there remained no doubt.
These poor, hungry actors had eaten
It! With a look of contempt he an
nounced dinner, and after all were
safely seated at the table be brought
u tLird piate of bread and with a fork
placed it, with a gesture of scorn,
Piece by piece for each person and for
ti e host. The merry scene soon dis
armed bis hostility, and before the
e\ enirg was over the bread in the cor
ner was revealed.—Mrs. Lucy Derby
Fuller in Century.
Bteasles nail Ammonia.
A Detroit woman who labors among
the poor children of thg. city was tell
ing her experiences.
“One day there was a death in the
neighborhood; a little girl died, and the
children were visibly impressed. They
tol I me about it in unison.
“ ‘lt was better for her, wasn’t It,
missus?’ one little girl said philosoph
ically.
“ ‘What was the trouble?’ I asked.
“ ‘Oh,” another spoke up, ‘she had
measles and ammonia on the lungs and
a lot i.f things.’
“I was of course deeply impressed
by tho ‘lots of things,’ but more so by
the ‘ammonia on the lungs.' ’’—Detroit
Free I’ress.
roiii-lli Century Shorthand.
That shorthand was used in the an
cient world Is well known, but our in
formation is still scanty, and any ad
dition 1b welcome. It may therefore
be worth knowing that there is In tliq ,
Armenian “Acts of St. Callistratus” i
a reference to the employment of ste
nography. A translation of this is in
cluded in Mr. F. C. Conybeare’s “Ar
menian Apology and Acts of Apollo- .
nlu sand Other Monuments of Early
Clulstiaulty-.”- The account of Cal
llstratus was probably written In the
firs: half of the fourth century. It In- j
cinder several long addresses of Calli- |
stn tvs to Ills fellow soldiers In expla
nation of the mysteries of the new
faith for which he and forty-nine of
his comrades became martyrs. Per
haps with a view to giving them au
thority r.s verbatim reports, the com
piler says;
“But there was a certain scribe of
the lav. court who was near to the
prison, aud he listened to the discourse
of Callistratus, and he wrote it down
In shin; hand on paper and gave It to
us, ana we set in erder with all ac
curacy thp record and outline of his
thought”
Thaukurnr'i Facial Appearance. j
In 1340 or 1850 Charlotte Bronte j
wrote of Thackeray: “To me the broad j
brow so°ms to express intellect Cer- j
tain lit is about the nose and cheek be
tray tlii satirist and the cynic; the 1
mouth indicates a childlike simplicity, j
perhaps eveu a degree of irresolutt-ness !
in consistency—weakness, in short, but j
p, weakness not unamiable.” And Mr.
Motley, writing to his wife in 1858,
said: “I believe you have never seen
Thackeray. lie lias the appearance of
a colossal infant—smooth, white, shin
ing, ringlety hair, flaxen, alas, with ad
vancing years; a roundish face with a
little lab of a nose, upon which it is a
perpetual wonder how he keeps hU
spectacles.”
Thin broken nose was always a source
of amassment to Thackeray himself.
ITe caricatured it in his drawing, lio
fre jnently alluded to it in bis speech
anc in his letters, and he was fond of
repeating Douglas Jerrold’s remark to
him when he was to stand as godfather
to 1 friend’s son, “Lord, Thackeray, 1
hope you won’t present the child with
voir own mug!”

A .Market Scene In Thla Quaint
French Province.
Brittany is a land where the peasants
till the earth in zouave trousers, torea
dor Jackets covered
embroideries and green waistcoats
•round which run lines of crimson.
The women wear .short red skirts,
greet medici collars and coifs that flut
ter about their heads like the wings of
doves. Front beneath the points of
their black caps the children gaze at
you with wide eyes full of the curiosity
pf animals.
These people live in houses built of
sculptured granite and sleep In open

painted flowers and grotesque figures.
The peasants converse with but few

tones.
These taciturn people forget them,

The taverns are full of noise. You
may heir the sound of an accordion
and the plaintive note of the binlou (a
sort of bagpipe), leading monotonous
dances.

fishermen are full of business. Next

Oemn of W.Mmln, or Refused to Ac
cept State 9 of Poet.
Many years ago some admirers at
Lord Ryon raised u subscription for I
monument to the poet, to be placed It
Westminster abbey. Chantrey was re
quested to execute It, but on account
of the smallness of the sum subscribed
he declined, and Thorwaldsen wai
theu arplied to and cheerfully under
took the work.
In about 1833 the finished statue ar
rived at the custom house in Loudon,
but, to the astonishment of tho sub
scribers, the dean of Westminster, Dr.
Ireland, decliued to give permissiou to
have it set up in the abbey, and, owing
to this difficulty, which proved insur
mountable, for Dr. Irelaud’s successor
was of the same opinion, It remained
for upward of twelve years In the cus
tom house, when (1840) it was re
moved to the library of Trinity col
lege, Cambridge.
The poet is represented in the statue
of the s-te of life, seated on a ruin,
with his left foot resting on the frag
ment of a column. In his right band
he holds a style up to his mouth; In his
.'eft a book, inscribed "Child# Harold.”
He is dressed In a frock coat and cloak
Beside him on the left Is a gkull, above
which Is lhe Athenian owl. The Ukenees
is of course posthumous. Thorwaldsett
was born Nov. 19, 1770, and died os
March 94, 1844.—Newcastle (En*.)

A Model Surveyor.
The Kiugman Leader-Courier tells of
an early day county surveyor in King
man ccunty, Kan., who neither pos
sessed any instruments nor could have
used them if he had. His method of
measuring land was to tie his ankles
. together with a cord that was just
(ong enough to allow him to step one-
Ufth of a rod each time, and thus hob
bled he would strike out, counting his
steps until he had made a sufficient
number to cover the desired distance.
The cord or string used by him lu
fastening his legs together, says the
Lender-Courier, was made of raw
hide, so that when he was traveling
through .he grass of a morning when
the dev was ou It would become wet
and stretch nearly a foot, and so his
steps were much longer ot a morning
than tiny were of an evening after the
r;un Uaii dried the whang leather and
shorten;!- it. Consequently the maD
having bis laud surveyed in the morn
ing would have much more in his
quarter iecllon than his neighbor who
had hir work done in the afternoon
