They spoke st greater or less length
upon politics, religion, weather, mil
linery, gloves, neckties, skating, the
drama, society, dancing, the public
, schools, the. church and its mission,
the probability of a continuance of
sleighing, the difficulty of getting
hired girls, the supply of natural gas
and other topics of minor importance.
Still he lingered. Instinct told him
that the old man was yet awake, but
he set the danger at naught and
stayed.
There was another danger which he
wished to broach.
“My dear friend—”
It seemed a very cold and distant
form of address, bnt he had previously
decided it was the best under the
circumstances.
“I wish—to—speak to you of some
thing very near my heart.”
“Why—”
■' As she stared at him the perplexity
in her face suddenly gave way to
intelligence.
“Oh, yes, I know; your lungs. Uow
are they, anyway? How stupid in me
not to ask.”
He never knew what he murmured
in reply. When he recovered com
plete consciousness he - was walking
home and the crisp snow was crushing

A CLEVER RUSE.
How Baron do Reinach Won Applause
for Aorobatlo Feats.
An amusing story is told of the late
Baron Jacques de Reinach, whose end
was so tragic. Last] year, at a large
costume ball given in a house in the
avenue d’lena, the dancers were sud
denly disturbed by the appearance of
a clown wearing a mask, who pro
ceeded to perform acrobatic feats
worthy of a professional. Everyone
crowded round the new-comer, press
ing him with questions as to his iden
tity, but with no result, amd he disap
peared. Later on in the eiveming the
clown again was seen, and this time
he deigned to lift his mmifr The as
tonishment of all was great when they
recognized M. de Reinach, who, how
ever, did not deserve the compliments
that were showered upon him. There
were two clowns! Baron de Reinach
had engaged the services of a well
known performer at the Nouveau
Cirque. He had two cos tom es made
exactly alike, and after the professional
had departed M. de Reinacii appeared
on the scene and reaped his unde*
served laurels.
Ancient Bridal Wreath*
The Roman bridal wreath was of
verbena, plucked by the bride herself.
Holly wreaths were sent as tokens of
congratulations, and wreaths of pars*
ley and rue were given and Sr a belief
that they wene effectual presetwtires
against evil spirits. The feaWthorn
was the flower which formed the
wreaths of Athenian brides. At the
present day, in our own country, the
bridal wreath is almost entirely com*«
posed of orange-blossoms, on a back
ground of maiden-hair fern, a sprig
here and there of stephanotis 1 blending
its exquisite fragrance. Muclt uncer
tainty exists as to why this blossom
has been so much worn by bri fies, but
the general opinion seems to bo that it
was adopted as an emblem of f kuitful*
ness. _ j
Scimitar Snake.
There is a little reptile belonj jing to
Madagascar known as the simitar
snake, that is the curling swore. V Run
ning along the back from head to tail
is a Uackish, horny substance, which
bencra with the convolutions of the
snake’s body as readily as v itmld a
well-tempered steel springy and
throughout its entire length itj bears
sn edge as hard as flint and as sharp
as a razor. They are not poi to nous,
but when one of them spring [s on a
naan, which he likes very well to do,
do will soon have a leg off «»'«««

BRAVE ANIMALS.
The Klaphant Shows Cnnraga In UkS
Face of Daagir.
It Is said that the scent or roar of
• bear in the jungle will often scare
elephants beyond control. And they
have the same intense nervousness
shown by the horse at the Bight of
things unusual or out of place. A big
elephant, which was employed to drag
away the carcass of a dead bullock,
and had allowed the burden to be afe
tached by ropes without observing
what It was, happened to look around,
and instantly bolted, its fright increas
ing every moment as the unknown ob
ject jumped and bumped at its heela
After running some miles like a dof,
with a tin can tied to its tail, the ele
phant stopped and allowed itself to be
turned round, and drew the bullock
back again without a protest. Yet an
elephant without a mahout gives, per
haps, the best instance of disciplined
courage—courage, that is, which per
sists in the face of knowledge and dis
inclination—to be seen in the animal
world. They will submit, day after
day, to have painful wounds dressed
in obedience to their keeper, and meet
danger in obedience to orders, though
their intelligence is sufficient to Un
derstand the peril,and far too great for
man to trick them into a belief that it
is non-existent.
■No animal will face danger more
readily at man’s bidding. As an in
stance, take the following incident,
which recently occurred in India, and
was communicated to the writer. A
small female elephant was charged by
a buffalo, in high grass, and her rider,
in the hurry of the moment, and per
haps owing to the sudden stopping of
the elephant, fired an explosive shell
from his rifle, not into the buffalo, but
into the elephant’s shoulder. The
wound was so severe that it had not
healed a year later. Yet the elephant
stool firm, although it was gored by
the buffalo, which was then killed by
another gun. What is even more
strange is that the elephant was not
“gun-shy” afterward.
WANTED BY BRITISH LORDS.
New York Dealers Kept Bur Shipping
Wild Animals Abroad.
There is a great demand nowadays
from wealthy Europeans for American
wild animals. Every year hundreds
are shipped abroad by New York deal
ers, but there never was a finer pair of
any kind sent to Europe than the
young bison which left by the steamer
Dovic lately.
They came from the St. Louis Zoo,
where they have been on exhibition
for a number of years. They were
consigned to W. A. Conklin, who pur
chased them for William Cross, a Liver
pool animal dealer, who in turn pur
chased them for an English lord,'to'be
placed in his game preserve for breed
ing purposes. The bison came origin
ally from the plains of Wyoming.
On their way East they got into a
terrible rage and ripped and tore their
boxes to bits, and the train men had
hard work to keep them in subjection.
When they were boxed at the St.
Louis Zoo they gave considerable
trouble. John C. Gray, a veteran cow
boy, and James Crawley, a former
lion-tamer, lasso “d them around the
legs and horns and then bound them
tight. The male weigh;*- fully 5,000
pounds and the female 3,000.
Mr. Conklin has a large order for
bison and other wild animals to be
filled for the English nobility before
next fall. Some of the animals are on
their way East. Several panthers from
Washington statS are among the lot,
besides several consignments of deer,
elk, mountain sheep from the Rockies,
some bear from the Sierras and a large
lot of other game. He has one pair of
handsome panthers at his stable.
It’s m Wet Day.
A stout man got on a horse-car the
other day.
“Wet day,” he said to, a stranger,
who was sitting near him.
s “Hey,” said the other.
• “Wet day,” said the first, a little
louder.
“Excuse m.\ I’m a little deaf and
hardly caught your meaning.”
“I said, ‘It’s a wet day,’ ” howled the
fat man, getting red in the face, as the
other passengers looked up from their
papers.
“Ah. yes, yes; how much you must
pay. Five cents, that’s the fare.”
Whereupon the fat man got off the
car.
“Yes,” said the deaf man gently,
“that’s the seventh man within an
hour that told me it’s a wet day.
Praps they imagine I don’t know it.”
Fat Enougli.
A Philadelphia citizen who was rais
ing' a fine hog in the rear of his resi
dence was notified by the board of
health to remove the animal outside
the city limits. Not wishing to move
and thinking the hog was not fat
enough to kill, he sent word to a col
ored man who had a small farm in
Montgomery county to take the pig to
his place until it was fat enough to
kill, agreeing to give one-half his car
cass for his trouble. Sam took the
hog home and the next morning
brought half of it back to the Mana
yunker. “Why, Sam,” said the owner,
“I told you to keep that hog until it
was fat.” “He war fat enough for me,
sah; dar's yo’ haf,” replied Sam.
To Find Your Future Husband.
At bedtime, having fasted since
noon, two girls who wish to obtain a
sight of their future husbands boil an
egg, which must be the first egg ever
laid by the hen, in a pan in which no
egg has ever been boiled before.
Having boiled it till it is hard, they
cut it in two with something that has
never been used as a knife before.
Each girl eats her half and its shell to
the last fragment, speaking no word
the while; then, still In silence, they
walk backward to bed. “to sleep, per.
efcanoe to dream."
WHV HB p»8UKKP ham.
*• WII Snrf.lt.d With It Daring Ult
' Johnstown Hood. ,
"If there is one thing on earth that
I can’t eat it’s ham,” said Charles A.
Morton of Pittsburg. “And I used to
be a great lover of it, too. I’ll tell
you how I came to tako such a dislike
to it, it was during the Johnstown
flood, excitement. I was in the news*
paper business at the time, and, with
the* other boys, I was sent up there.
For the first couple of dayB, when
there was nothing to eat, it was pretty
tough, and we all swore to eat every*
thing we could lay our hands on if we
ever came within the sight of food
again.
“Well, the first day the relief train
got up there it was laden with ham
sandwiches, and the way wo put them
out of sight was a caution. You’d fte
a man coming away from the train
with a sandwich in each 'hand and
another in Ills pocket. The next day
it was the same way.
“On the third day the ham sand
wiches began to pall a little, and on
the fourth they had become absolutely
tiresome. We hod had more of it
than we could stand. Still, we must
eat, and there was nothing else to eat,
and we had to stuff the liain into us.
It got so that it was an awful dose,
and many of us went without ham
sandwiches until wo got so hungry
that we were compelled to eat. When
we got away from J hnstoivn and got
to where we could eat something we
thanked God sincerely. Since that
time I have never been able to compel
myself to oat a ham sandwich, and I
think the sight of one would sicken
me. There is such a thing, you know,
ss being surfeited even with food.”
THE GROWTH OF AN OYSTER.
Each Overlapping Layer or Shell Mean!
a Year of Age
The oyBter at the commencement of
its career is so small that 2,000,0.0
would only occupy a square inch. In
six months each individual oyster is
large enough to cover half a crown,
and in twelve months a crown piece.
The oyster is its own architect, and
the shell grows as the fish inside
grows, being never to small.
It also bears its age upon its bock,
and it is as easy to tell the age of an
oyster by looking at its shell as it is
that of horses by looking at their
teeth. Everyone who has handled an
oyster shell must have noticed the
successive layers overlapping caoh
other. These are technically termed
shots, and each one marks u year’s
growth so that by counting them the
age of the oyster can be determined.
Up to the time of its maturity—that
is, when four years of age—the shots
are regular and successive, but after
that time they become irregular and
are piled one upon another, so that the
shell becomes bulky and thickened.
Fossil oysters have been seen of which
each shell was nine inches thick,
whence they may be guessed to be
more than 000 years old.
One to two million oysters are pro*
duced from a single parent, and their
scarcity is accounted for by the fact
that man is not the only oyster-eating
animal. The starfish loves the oyster
and preys upon it unceasingly. A va
riety of whelk is also very fond of
young oysters, to get at which he
bores right through the shell and sucks
the fish up through the hole thus made.
A WORK ROOM.
Every Douse Should Have Sueh an Apart
meat In It.
No matter how large or how small
your house may be, there should be
one room set apart for a sewing room
where all appliances for work should
be kept, and which may be shut
against all of the outside world.
If ever such a room is appreciated it
is when the dressmaker comes on her
half yearly or quarterly visit, and
where together you plan and work
without danger of interruption.
The room need not necessarily be
large, but it should be light and sun
ny, and should have a large closet, fit
ted with plenty of roomy drawers. If
there is a carpet on the floor, cover it
with linen, so that the threads and
scraps may be easily gathered up.
Place the sewing machine to the right
of the window, and have a good-sized
table upon which cutting may be done.
Have low, comfortable chairs, and a
1 big family work basket The darning
bag and all the conveniences for work
should be kept in this room, and not
be allowed to overflow in any other
part of the house.
In this way all evidence of labor will
be kept out of sight of the men of the
family, who are not over and above
fond of seeing too much of the do
mestic machinery.
Once such a room is established, you
will wonder how you ever got along
with out it, and the positive luxury it
affords you will more than repay you
for what trouble and expense you may
have had in fitting it up.
His Father Mot a Worker.
In one of the grammar schools in
New York is a boy who has a great ad
miration for his father. His father’s
word is law to him, though he pays
not the slightest attention to anything
that his mother may say. This bright
young one was very much disgusted
by the question put to him by his
teacher when he first entered the
grammar school. After giving his
name to the teacher he was asked:
“What is your father’s occupation?’’
“Wot’s that?” was his reply, in a
mystified tone.
“What is your father’s business?
What does he do?”
“Do? Why he don’t do nuthin’. He
just bosses, see?” the boy answered in
a most aggravated way.
The boy’s father is a foreman in
Superintendent Brennan’s street clean
ing department, and his son had seen
him directing the men under him and
so considered it an insult that any one
should suppose that his father worked
like ordimuy mortals
