“Ah! ’
“Oh!"
All the .‘nrolatnn if the giant leap j
for life in the circ.-.s tent held their
breaths with terror vdiile the lithe aero-
bat plunged f< nvard, released his hold
and shot through space, to be seeun ly
caught in the firm grasp 0 f hjs partner, I
who hung from his toes from another j
treacherous tf.qxax
Twelve thousand nine hundred and
ninety-eight persons caught their breaths
again aa the feat was accomplished.
The two remaining persons of the 13,- l
000—a big circus tent always holds 13,-
000 persons, you know—watched the
proceedings with an air of perfect non- i
chalanee, as if a swing for life was no j
more serious matter than signaling an !
electric car.
Well might they be calm, for they
were retired circus performers, and the i
perils of the tents were old stories to j
them, and then, as the show' went on,
they began exchanging reminiscences, ;
while the listcuing Journal man forgot
all about what was before him in- his
interest in these yarns.
“That jump r< minds mo of the way
Sam Myers proposed to Annie Johnson J
ten years ago. ’’
The Journal man noticed that the !
veteran circus man emitted the ‘‘.S: : g- i
nor’’ and “MiilrunsoRe” from his con
versation, so Sam Myers and An- |
nio Johnson did not bear i.i private life |
the names which adorned the circus |
programme and the particolored litho
graphs which inflame tlie circus going
propensities of Young America.
"Yon see, Sam Myers and Pete Wil
son and Annie Johnson were albino*
that season ami did a great act on the
flying trapeze, in which Annie made
ever so many jumps across the tent and
was caught by Sum, while Pete was
performing i n a third bar way up
above them. One jump after another
was made all right by Jar, and sudden
ly everybody was surprised to see Sam
lift Annie in the air as ho caught her
and kiss her b< fore phe turned to make
the leap back to her own trapeze. Every
body woudcrc d what it all meant, and
after the uct was over they soon found
out.
“It seems that Sam and Pete had
both fallen in love with Annie, and just
bifore the act Pete confided to hiscluun
his iu tent ions of proposing to the pretty
partner. Sam made up his mind that
he would not be h ft in a case like thia,
but he hud no chance to apeak for him
self puti! they began.
“Whin Annie made her first {jump,
bo started to pop the question, and tha
pro|M<sal continued with interruptions
aa (he young lady would swing back
and forth hik! jump to and fro in the
regular custom of her performance.
Finally the question was asked just as
H-e swung, rirm, hargirg by his tecs,
waited until she made the next leap and
as lie hoard her ray ‘Yes’ he lifted Is r
up Mid kissed l.< r with sue h a smack
that it could be heard all over the Lig
tent.
“Everybody crnsratulatcd the ptdr
but Pete, toniehcv he had the impres
sion that In' hud not be en treated square
ly in this proposal, and tho firm broke
up then and there. ”
“Unit reminds me cf another (ea^q
which was with a circus that j waspir.
forming in a dozen yearn ago. ’ll.o
Howland brothers were doing a double
trapeze* act, with all sorts of daring
jumps, much tlie sr.n-e seat us the one
we* just Raw. In the same circus Hu.
leading rider was Jennie punbar, w ho
was the ebycivst little woman who
eve r jiiinisel through a lieop, and both
the boys Id] in love with her.
“rihe was really fond e»f bethof them
but when they proposed she accepted
\Vill and fold Fred that she could only
lies a sister teijiim. When Fred proposed,
we- wen- performing up in Canada, and
tin- proposal was made just before- the
afternoon performance s. When the lieiys
eanic up fe-r their turn, wo all noticed
that 1* red w as pale and ne rvous, while
Will was just till- reverse. Their act
went em just Hie same as usual, and
finally came the ir last jump, which was
the most daring of all. Fred hung by
his toes, atrl Will made the swing dear
across tho tent. We never knew how it
happened, whether Fred was so nervous
that he lost his grip or whether he did
it deliberately, but just as Will came
flying through tho air Fred trembled
and dropp< it from his hold down into
the net, while* Will shot through tho air
and fell in the ring clear Isyond the
edge < f tho net. When they run to him,
ho was dead. Jennie was uL.ost crazy
with grief, and Fred had an attack of
brain fever, from which he did not re*-
cover for mciuths.
“No one could tell whe ther he- delil>-
erately dropped to get rid e*f his rival
or whether ].e was so tick that ho could
not hold himself longe r. At any rati-,
as soon as he got well he* proposed t--
Jennie again and was ae-cepted. They
arc married now and retired from tho

If the city of New York and the

or in some other way entirely cut off
from tho outside world, and therefore
deprived of the fcod supplies which in
fionual times como iu daily iu largo
■Quantities, how long would it L- before
tho pinch of hunger would he lelt?
That is a veiy hard question to answer,
for the reason that there are such in
equalities if purchasing capacity iu
Niw York society that seme go hungry
in times of greatest prosperity for lack
of nr cans, while the great maji rity cat
more than is good for them. Undoubt
edly the number of those who always go
hungry would he imrcasi d uiti-r two or
throe days of a siege, and then da)* by
day this number would juvnotJO until
the public uuthvriiii* would fee] com
pelled to take possession of the (oimI sup
plies and distribute them among the
people. With the cxci ption of milk and
some other things, the supply qf moat,

would last (or two months at the present

were taken charge of at the beginning

The Word •‘Dollar.’*
According to one authority, the word
“dollar” is a corruption of the German
word “thaler,” the form in Dutch be
ing ‘ ‘daaldor. ’’All these different forms
wen* derived from Joachim’s Thai, a
Bohemian town, when* the count of
Schliek, A. D. 131b, coined sonic ex
cellent pieces in silver cf one ounce in
weight. “From the name of tlie town
came Joachim’s tliuk-r, applied to the
above named coins as well as that of
riehlieken thaler. Hence, Joachim’s
thaler pieces were first contracted into
Joachim’s thalers and then into thali rs.
These coins gained such a lepututiou
that tiny Ix-camc a pattern, so that
others of tin-same kind, though made
iu other places, took the name, the word
assuming different s]M-lliug through the
low countries, reaching ripuin as dol
lars, and through its provinces trans
mitted to the western hemisphere, where
it was applied to coins prior to tho
adoption of the federal currency. Iu
coinage the word ‘dollar’ is a favorite,
being found, unde;}various spellings, iu
almost every part of the globe.”

The recent discussion of the subject

chief disputants were arguing tho re

“I would rather,” said his vis-a-via,
“have less food and less politeness, too,
than suffer the attent ions of your French
waiter, whose deftness, I find, permits

SetuieN of Smell anil Tasto In FKIim.
The senses of smell ami taste appear
to be well devi-loped iu the great major
ity of tlie li.-li species. Tobacco thrown
overboard from vessels is often seized
by markcrcl and halibut, but is imme
diately rejected. Nearly all varieties of
fish, and more especially the “ground
swimmers, ’ ’ have a choice of food. Hali
but and cod arc attracted a great dis
tance by certain kinds of bait Herring,
when fresh and in good condition, arc
splendid bait for cid, but arc of no use
whatever if they have become stale from
long keeping. Catfish, buffalo and one
or two varieties of tho bass will bite
bacon when they will pay no attention
whatever to tho luscious angleworm.
The above and other facts which cpyld
easily be cited in proof have paused fish-,
ermen anil scientists tp come to tho con
clusion that the s< uses of smell and taste
are both remarkably developed among
tho filmy tribe.—St. Louis Republic^

from a New York Lady for
AYER’S PILLS
“ I would like to add my testimony to
that of others ■who have used Ayer’s
Pills, and to say that I have taken them
for many years, and alw ays derived tho
best results from their use. For stom
ach and liver (roubles, and for tlie cure
of headaehe caused by these derange
ments, Ayer’s Pills cannot lie equaled.

When my friends ask me what is th#
best remedy for disorders of tlie stom-
aeh, liver, or bowels, my invariable
answer is, Ayer’s Pills. Taken in sea
son, they will break up a cold, prevent
la grippe, check fever, and regulate tho
digestive organs. They aro easy to
take, and are, indeed, the lu st all-round
family medicine I have ever known.”—
