THE STATUE MOVED. "~ A Dirptited Question Settled by the Chaaoc Appearance In Hie Crowd. Was it a statuo or a woman? A largo crowd had gathered in front of the show window of a popular Broadway shoe store and stood gazing curiously in at the figure, which remained so immobile that it might be marble and yet so beautiful that it must be a woman. There was not a movement of a muscle, quiver of th8 eyelid or motion of the lips. Men smiled, waved their hands, waved their JiauOKercmeis, Dut meru ?;*a uu aosponse. Surely it was a statue. "Looks like it's made of wax," said oiie in tbe crowd. "Paste," said another. "Come off! It'a a woman," laughed a big fat fellow. "And tbe golden hair is banging down her back," was tbe response from a would be wit. "Naw; it's mud !" said a little newsbjoy wbo bad failed to sell any papers in the crowd and wbo was turning away in disgust. "I tell you it's a woman," repeated the fat man. Then he went away. Faces were pressed against the pane. They shifted. Others took their places, and still that same stony stare, tbe same motionless body and immobile face. Surely no human being could remain so still without even the batting of an eyelid. It was evident to many of th8 crowd that a heart could not beat in the breast which showed no signs of respiration no matter how closely observed. Suddenly tbe statue moved. Like Pygmalion's marble bust, a glauce had % - * /il 1.- xL.i awakened it to me. ^neeaH ium ?ac marble became alabaster, then red. Eyes that were dull and expressionless proclaimed a soul. They flashed fire, resentment, auger. It was afterward recalled by some in the crowd .that there was a gleam of tenderness mingled in tbe look. Evidently it was a woman, and her whole womanly nature had teen aroused by a glance, one glance from .. hundreds that scrutinized her every day. Yet that one look was sufficient to change immobility into motion and marble into flesh. Cut in the crowd on the sidewalk another peculiar scene was takiug place. The man whose chance arrival in the group of curious had awakened the statue lay limp in the arms cf a bystander, who had caught bim as be fell. The crowd divided its attention between the man who was so pale and motionless and the woman in tbe window. It seemed as if tbo man bad exchanged parts and become a statue, while his vital spark had entered the figure in the window and endowed it with life. The man had merely fainted. He scon revived nnder tbe cool influences of the atmosphere. He looked in tbo window, but the statne was gone. The woman had disappeared behind tbe curtains and sought retirement in tbe recesses of the store. It was apparent that there was some tragic connection between tbo man and the statue who was posing as an advertisement for the shoe firm. What was it? The man was uncommunicative. When he had gained coiltrol of himself, he went away. Tbo woman who played the statue and the man who fainted in the street at sight of her were once loving man and wife. Her name is Madeline Rechell, and she resides in South St. Louis. To her employers she tells a pitiful stcry of wedded life, desertion and suffering. Accustomed to plenty all her life, she was unable to enter any . vocation when thrown upon her own resources. She accepted the place offered by the firm to pose as an advertisement ?St. Louis Republic. A Small Reward. The engine driver who took charge of the train from Falkenberg to Leipsic on Dec. 13 prevented an accident in a very ingenious and plucky manner. Between the stations Toifcau and Mockxehna he noticed that the rails running parallel to his own were broken, and that the next train that would pass over them must inevitably be wrecked. He at once wrote a few words explaining what he had seen and giving an exact description of the place, and when passing a group of railway workmen he flung the paper to them, which he had first relied round a piece of ccal. They read the warning, sent telegrams to the stations interested, the trains were stopped in the nick of time, and tho ac praiseworthy conduct of the engine driver was duly brought to the notice of his euperiors, and he has just been rewarded with a present cf two shillings.

More Amusing Than HarmfuL The Holland Dames, the Order of the Crown, the Barons of Rnnuyxnedo aud other similar societies formed for mutual admiration are striving to teach us that this democratic country is not i>opulated wholly by the offspring of Europe's canaille and that au ancient usage is more to be prized than native worth. Even so respectable a citizen as John Jacob Astor, with whose ancestry Americans are more or less familiar, has not disdained the assistance of the genealogical faddists. They havo shown that he is descended from King Edward I of England instead of that enterprising immigrant from Waldorf, Germany, who laid the foundation of the Astor fortune by carrying a peddler's pack among the aborigines of this country. This effort cf numerous Americans to make themselves out a little better than their neighbors miuht be regarded as a sign of democratic decadence were it not more amusiug.thau harmful.?Syra. cuse Courier.

Dan Berry, the well known horse owner of this city, has made a great hit in purchasing an ordinary looking nag in the southern part of the state. It appears that the owner was glad to get rid cf it and thought he was doiug a smart thing in working it off on Dan, but the latter is goiDg to turn the deal to his own account, for the animal is a wonder. it is nothing more or less than a climbing hcrse. It was foaled in the woods of an unsettled part of Ercwu county, and for six months afterward it never saw a human being. During that period it learn- ] ed to climb trees with the agility of a squirrel, and when it was first dis.overed it lay sleeping in the branches of a large oak. The horse was taken home j and broken to drive, and now in every ether respect it is a well behaved animal except when it takes a notion to climb a tree, and no matter whether bitched lip or uot up the treo it goes, 1 boggy and all. A few days after coming here the ] horse was hired by John Peterson and John Heeler for a drive into the conntry. The drivers were passing through a large woods when the horse suddenly j took a notion to climb a tree, and up it ' went ^with the boggy and men. The I j iaUer fell but, but V_c licrse went en up j into the tree, carrying the buggy with it. For three hours the boys tried to coax it down, but it staid up until its desire was satisfied. The buggy was badly broken, and the boys came back with the horse, but left the fragments of the vehicle behind tbc-m. Air. Berry will sell the horse to a circus.?Chicago Chronicle.

The Empress Frederick thought him clever and often said he never said or did anything to give her a pang. The Empress Augusta spoke of him as her angel grandson, and the late Duke of ?axeCoburg thought ho was very liko the late prince consort, hut would resemble him more if put well on his mettle." * A l.uckj I'ind. A guest in a Philadelphia hotel lost a diamond stud in the waste pipe of the bathtub the other day, according to the Philadelphia .Record. On hearing of the loss tiie proprietor allowed the pipe to be taken up at the expense of the loser. A plumber did the job for $10, and the guest not only recovered his stud, but also found in the bend of the drain pipo a diamond ring Being an honest man, he gave the ring to the proprietor, who advertised the find in several newspapers. As 110 one eaiuc to claim the ring the proprietor, with an equally commendable n-nse of honesty, returned it to the finder. Needless to say, the loser of the stud was highly compensated for his trouble, as the ring was valued at $150 The fortunate man gave the plumber a crisp $20 noto extra, as the brilliant Cud was partly due to that worthy Good Advice.

A man and a woman were hurrying along lower Broadway one night recently. It had been raining, and the thick mud made the sidewalks slippery, and a depressing fug added to the unpleasantness of things. Consequently pedestrians were wasting no time about getting to their destinations. Suddenly tho two were halted by a woman who carried in her hand a small tin box. Slio touched the man gently on urn arm. "Wouldn't yon like to bnv a bit o5 heather, sir?" she asked with a soft Scotch accent. Unthinking, tho two moved aside. The woman said 110 more, bur with bent head hurried 011. Then it came to the man and his companion that lu-re was something unusual. Tim voice and manner lingered with them, j "Jove!"' said tho man. "1 believe j she's not- a fakir. Did you notice her I accent? And I think she said something ; about heather." They turned and j watched the woman. She was respecta| bly dressed, hut mud and rain had j soaked her skirts. Their rebuff bad evij dently made her timid. .She did not im[ mediately address others who followed, I but passed along with a certain flurried | movement. The two interested peoplo | went baek after Jur. | " What is it yon arc selling?" inquired the man. "Scotch heather, sir." she answered, [ and ho could see that she reddened and kept her eyes lowered. She opened tho j box and nervously lingered the dried nowers jying mereiu. "How mnch for a bunch:" asked tbo I man, with kiuduess in bis voice. ! "Five?10 cents?anything you like, I sir," she stammered. Plainly she bad no idea of the market value of her wares. The man gave her a quarter and took a small Lunch. He longed to question her further, but evidently the ordeal was painful for her, so lie said no more, and she slipped away. Tln-y watched licr as sbo moved quickly along the dismal street, her I I head bent over the tin box of dried Scotch blossoms.

Barere on Jefferson. I A pnssago in Barere's memoirs which has especial interest for Americans is j the ten pages devoted to Jefferson, whom Barere knew during his service as Unitl ed States minister to France. Of Jefferson's views of tho French revolution Barere says: "A farseeiug and sagacious politician, Jefferson feared that our movement for national free'dom cochl not come oct victorious from a very prolonged struggle, of which he perceived symptoms in the obstinate resistance of the court and privileged classes. lie advised M. do Lafayette, his friend, and other influential patriots to profit by a few advances of the court. He was net acquainted with the perfidy and artifices of power in France and was mistaken as to the character of the miuistcr for foreign affairs, M. do Mouhnoriu, who was but an aristocrat and an intriguer. Jefferson also believed too much in the administrative talent and credit of the banker minister Xocker, when be went so far as to propose to his compatriots an accommodation with the monarchy of Versailles. However, Jefferson was capable of studying France better than other foreign travelers. He did not content himself with a delusive sojourn in the great towns in order to judge tbo I nation. He traveled In Burgundy and tbo southern provinces. He traversed villages, visited the cottages of the poor, ate their bread and asked their wants. Having acquired just ideas on this great aud good people of France, he followed its movements and vicissitudes when ho returned to America as hp had douo in Europe, and during the eight years of his presidency of the United States he made unexampled efforts not to break tbo alliance with France." I To Raise a State Capitol. H. Sheeler of Chicago has mado a proposition to lift the massive capitol of Ohio and place another story under the structure. Mr. Wheeler says he will accomplish this remarkable feat for $ii00,000, and Senator Miller of LickI iug county has promised to introduce a bill to provide the funds for tbo undertaking. The present capitol is inadequate to the needs of the various state departments, and the previous legislature provided for the remodeling of tbo strucj ture. Plans have been adopted to this end, but the great expense that would bo entailed has aroused opposition to tbo plans. Tbo Ohio capitol, built of native limestone, is one of tbe most massive, buildings in tbo country and covers more tbau two acres. It is estimated there are many hundred thousand tons of stouo in the structure. Mr. Sheeler proposes to raise this immense structure I without disturbing a single occupant of the building. He will cut oil the buildiug at the base and raise it with screws. This work alone would require a forest of timber, thousands of screws and the labor of 1,000 ineu for three weeks.? | Clev?land Leader. Misunderstood Again.
