Funny Climax to an Angling Experi ence of General Gallifet. Long ago. in the days of the second eimpire. G:eneral Gallifet was the aid de-camp of Napoleon 111. At St. Cloud his quarters were just over the im perial bedroom. Everything around him was very grand and very gloomy. The window of his room looked upcd the pond that washed the walls of the chateau. The water was clear and the surrounding scenery was beautiful, but the young lieutenant felt like a prisoner. Early one morning, while seated at his window trying to drive away the blues with a cigar, he espied below in the crystal wger an enor mous carp. The instinct of the angler, strong in Gallifet, made the young man's eyes snap and set his heart throbbing. The big fish was the private property of the emperor. Consequently for Gal lifet it was forbidden fish. But it was such a fine follow! The resistance of the soldier's conscience was useless. It surrendered unconditionally. The re maining part of the campaign against the carp was simple enough. Gallifet went to his trunk, brought out his trusty line. to which he fastened a hook and an artificial bait. With his accustomed skill he cast his line. The carp was hooked and hauled in through the window. Iere the lieutenant's fun ended and his trouble began. The fish, landed upon a table. overturned a large globe filled with water and caromed from that to a magnificent vase, which it also upset and smashed to pieces upon the floor. Then it began to execute a genuine pas de carpe among the smith ereens. The emperor, hearing the strange racket overhead and seeing the water trickling through the ceiling, was as tonished. He rushed upstairs to find out what was the matter. Gallifet heard him coming and endeavored to grab the carp and throw it out of the window and thus destroy the evidence of his poaching in the imperial pond. But the slippery thing was hard to hold, so he tossed it into a bed and covered It up with the bedclothes. When the emperor entered the room, he noticed immediately the quivering bedclothes. He pulled them down and uncovered the floundering fish. His majesty's face assumed an almost jim amic expression, which gradually. faded into a faint smile. He took in the entire situation, saluted and left the future war minister to meditate upon the mysteries of a fisherman's luck. NEW QUARTERS McLEOD BLOCK.

Where One Must Display Great For mality and Preciseness. Derli:n is org.:nized for eating and driuking. and so are the Beriiners or ganized for it. Scattered all over the city are enormous :.!aces where food is served, wine halls where only wines are served and beer halls which deal in beer alone, some of them most re spectable and some not so impeccable. It is the rule that it is perfectly proper to take your mother or your wife or your sister to a beer hall or a wine hall that is frequented by the officers of the army. They go only to the prop er ones-publicly. The etiquette of these places is most formal. If the hall is crowded and tables are scarce, before you sit down you draw your heels together and make a military bow to everybody sitting at the table you select; then also you raise your glass or stein to those at the table when your refreshment is served. On leaviug you bow all around again, or the other people at the table bow if they leave before you do. The Ameri can way of asking the others at the table for permission to sit down is not ceremonious enough for the Germans, who are the most formally polite peo ple in the world.-Samuel G. Blythe in Everybody's Magazine. A FAMILY MIX. The Story as It Is Recorded on the Tombstones. in the early part of the last century there lived in an old New England town a Mr. Church, who, in the course of his pilgrimage through this vale of tears, was bereft of four wives, all of whom were buried in the same lot. In his old age it became necessary to re move the bodies to a new cemetery. This melancholy task the much be reaved widower undertook himself, but in the process the bones of the la mented quartet became hopelessly mired. Priding himself on possession of a New England conscience, Mr. Church would not, unf.er the painful circumstances, permit the use of the original headstones, but procured new ones, one of which bore the following inscription: "Here lies Hannah Church and probably a portion of Emily." An other: "Sacred to the u:emory of Emi ly Church, who seems to be mixed with Matilda." Then followed these lines: Stranger, pause and drop a tear, For Emily Church lies burled here, Mixed in some perplexing manner With Mary, Matilda and probably Han nah. -Philadelphia Ledger. Go astray and everybody knows it; reform, and nobody will believe it.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat The Star Arcturus. It Is probable that the star Arcturus Is one of the six greatest of all the stars in the sky. Notwithstanding its brightness, It is so far away from us that It is not displaced In position in the slightest measurable degree, as we change our position 186,000,000 miles in our annual journey around the sun. Could we be placed midway between Arcturus and our sun we would receive thousands of times more light and heat from the star than from our sun, and this notwithstanding that the star's radiation is smothered by a dense blanket of metallic vapors. In spite of Its immense distance the star is drifting slowly in a southwestward direction over the face of the sky, Its motion changing Its apparent position by an amount equal to the diameter of the moon in the course of about 1,000 years. So great an apparent mo tion must indicate an enormous veloci ty In space.-New York Press. Peppermint and Tobacco. If you have a boy who has begun smoking too early and whom you wish to cure of the habit, feed him pepper mints. Dr. 0. Clayton Jones of Silver ton, England, writing In the London Lancet, is authority for this simple cure. Dr. Jones writes: "To break the smoking habit in a youth there Is noth ing better than peppermint drops. He cannot smoke with a 'bullseye' in his mouth, and even for some time after It Is dissolved tobacco will not blend kindly with the taste that remains. Socially the cure may seem worse than the disease, but from a medical point of view the sucking of peppermints is far less hurtful. A common 'bullseye' will prevent smoking for nearly an hour. so the amount of sweets used need not be great" expensave. "I should never have thought that studying would have cost so much money."

A problem is put forward by a writer in a contemporary which gives food for thought. It is this: Suppose by some combination of circumstances you were faced by the alternative of wear ing a frock coat with brown boots. Which would be the better way out of it-to wear a bowler or a tall hat? As the writer justly remarks, If you wear a bowler then the thing you have to explaiu away is the coat. If you wear a tall hat, you have only the boots to account for. We should advise those of our readers who find one morning that all the wearing apparel in the house had been stolen during the night with the exception of a frock coat, waistcoat, trousers, shirt, collar, rest, tie, a pair of brown boots and two hats -one tall, the other round-to cut the Gordian knot by staying In bed. An other of life's dilemmas which may face the traveler down the world's dusty highway has to do with collars. Suppose on arriving at a house for a week end and starting to dress for dinner you find that your evening col lars have got wetted by your sponge or otherwise defaced. Should you wear a clean double collar or a dirty ortho dox evening collar? In the former case you will be natty, but a thing of loathing to all properly constituted men. In the latter you will give the impression that you cannot afford the services of a laundry.-London Globe. NAPOLEON'S HABITS. The Great Warrior Was Fond of Per fume and Clear. Linen. It Is pleasant to learn if one has Na poleon I. on the hero list that he had very dainty habits in personal mat ters; that he was fastidiously clean In his person, according to an article in a French contemporary, and poured can de cologne into the water he washed in, then sponged his head with per fume and finally poured the remainder of the contents of the flask over his neck and shoulders. He was also ex travagantly fond of clean linen and during his campaigns had relays of It sent to different places. In those days it did not cost a farm to have starched things laundered, for, in account with a famous laundress in Paris, the em peror's linen for one wash amounted to SSG pieces and cost only a trifle over $20. This strikes an American as very reasonable, but his majesty never wore any article but once, and, as he always undressed himself without aid from his valet, his garments were literally cast to the four corners of the room. Napoleon's bill for eau de cologne, however, exceaded the washerwoman's by a large majority. It is a relief to learn that the Little Corporal was so much a dude. Some of his predecessors In the Tuileries were not blessed with such excellent habits if history Is to be relied upon. To Make Waxed Paper. This is used for keeping substances which contain either a volatile aromatic ingredient or grease, which would pen etrate through ordinary paper. On a flat sheet of copper over a gentle fire place a sheet of paper as a base and then lay a second sheet on the top of the first. Coat this second sheet with yellow or white wax and distribute the latter uniformly over the entire sheet by means of a sponge, exerting a lit tie pressure, till the paper Is every where transparent and consequently permeated by the wax. If the fire Is too feeble, the process will be retard ed. Too powerful a flame Is still more harmful, as the paper is liable to be come brown or black. Stearin may be used Instead of wax.-Der Industriose Geschaftsmann. For Sore Feet. "I have found Bucklen's Arnica.

In Scott's "The Drama of Yesterday and Today" the author tells of a prac tical joke played by Henry Irving and Harry Montague upon a number of their friends, and "in its execution was seen the first dawning glimmer of that tragic force that was ultimately to find expression in Hood's 'Dream of Eugene Aram' and 'The Bells.' " Irving and Montague, hitherto the best allies, be gan to quarrel on their way to a picnic, and their friends feared some tragic consequences. After luncheon both of the men disappeared. Smale's face turned deadly pale. He felt that his worst fears were being realized. With one wild cry, "They're gone-what on earth has become of them?" he made a dash down the Dar gle over the rocks and bowlders, with the remainder of the picnic party at his heels. At the bottom of a "dreadful hollow behind the little wood" a fearful sight presented itself to the astonished friends. There on a stone sat Henry Irving in his shirt sleeves, his long hair matted over his eyes, his thin hands and white face all smeared with blood, and dangling an open clasp knife. I3e was muttering to himself in a savage tone: "I've done it! I've done it! I said I would! I said I would!" Tom Smale in an agong of fear rushed up to Irving, who waved him on one side with threatening gestures. "For God's sake, man," screamed the distracted Smale, "tell us where he is!" Irving, scarcely moving a muscle, pointed to a heap of dead leaves and in sepulchral tones cried: "He's there there! I've done for him! I've mur dered him!" Smale literally bounded to the heap and began flinging aside the leaves in every direction. Presently he found the body of Harry Montague lying face downward. Almost paralyzed with fear, Smale just managed to turn the head around and found Montague con vulsed with laughter, with a pocket handkerchief in his mouth to prevent an explosion. Never was better acting seen on any stage. FOODS OF ITALY. Specialties of the Friggitrici In Naples and Genoa. Huge meaty chestnuts are found ev erywhere in Italy. Peeled and boiled il a reddish broth seasoned with lau rel leaves and caraway seeds, the nuts se p)altable. About two dozen of the lage kernels .are sold for a penny. In both Genoa and Naples the friggitrici are interesting, and some of their spe cialties are well worth a trial if one can forget the unappetizing appear ance of cooks and cooking appliances. One friggitrice attracts attention to a tray of golden balls which she piles in a pyramid. The golden bails are arti chokes. They are boiled in salted wa ter until tender and are put in a pan over steam to keep them hot until a customer appears. For threepence the vender will take one from the steam ing pan, dry it, dip it into batter and pop it into the hot oil. A moment later a golden brown ball, delicious and crispy on the outside and tender, and succulent on the inside, is handed to the purchaser. The frying is man aged in such a way that when the fritters are taken from the kettle they are very hot, but so' dry on the outside that they scarcely soil the fingers when eaten from the hand. Another frig gitrice specialty is that of cheese balls. They are made of paste filled with grated cheese and fried. Mashed chest nuts, rice, chopped chicken and many vegetables are used to vary the fillings for the popular fritos.' Some of the frying kettles are portable, and the friggitrici have regular routes like the milkmen, where they tap at the base ment door, get their orders, take their4 tiny bellows and blow up the char coal until it glows and then cook the breakfast of meat bails or rice cakes] or artichokes, which are sent in hot.-4 Leslie's Weekly. Solenodons. Only two species of that singular in sectivorous mammal, the solenodon, are known, one inhabiting Haiti and the other Cuba. They differ chiefly in the color and quality of their fur. Solenodons are quaint looking animals, rather larger than rats, with long fiexi ble snouts and naked tails. They are nocturnal and obtain their food by digging in the soft ground for insects. etc., with their snouts. Their brain capacity is small, and they are said to have the curious habit when hunted by dogs of hiding their heads in the nearest holes and leaving their bodies exposed. ________ The Clock Was Wrecked.

SAW IT IN A DREAM. A Lost Check and the Peculiar Way It Was Found. b A wealthy New York lawyer sa; up ate one night writing letters he had b mot been able to finish during the day. f [t was past midnight when he went out ( o mail them, and when he returned md was undressing he paused in dis nay, missing a check for a large sum a received during the day and taken ome with him. In vain was the house ansacked at that late hour. He went to bed convinced that the lost check nust be in the house. An hour later e tie fell into uneasy slumber and beheld e is with his eyes of the flesh the pink s !heck curled about an area railing four r five doors from his own house. So real was the dream that the trou led man woke up, dressed and. slip ding down the stairs into the street, c walked along the sidewalk to a spot n ,till seen vividly in his mind, and there, ;ure enough, standing edge upward and partly curled about the iron, was the Hissing check.

Fitz-Gerald in New York Tribune. e . The Dogs of Constantinople. y There are at least 235,000 dogs in onstantinople, which has a population >f 1,150,000. They are the vilest of c :owards and are the scavengers of the :ity. It is said that scores of people a are bitten daily by the dogs of Con ;tantinople, but that a case of hydro yhobla was never known there. Three :enturies ago Nassuf Pasha, grand c izier to Achmet III., transported all y the dogs to Asia and would have had s hem destroyed there, but the sultan, t >n consulting the mufti, was told tihat t very dog had a soul and consequently c ~orbade such wholesale destruction. f after the slaughter of the janizaries c Mahmond intended to get rid of them, I or he caused an immense number of < asages (I) to be made and, having I >oisoned them, gave the dogs a feast s M~any thousands were thus killed in E yne day, but the people murmured so nuch that ae was afraid to begin a ;econd day's work.
