HER HUSBAND'S LITTLE JOKE.
ChMrful Method Finlander* nan of
Making the Hoar* fui Pleasantly.
An inhabitant of Voro, in Finland,
named Sellqulst, who for a long time
past has been living on bad terms
with His wife, had lately a narrow
escape from being poisoned by her.
She called at a chemist’s nnd asked
for some rat poison. As these crea
tures are very rarely seen in that
neighborhood, the chemist had his
suspicions aroused, and gave tho wo
man a perfectly harmless drug. On
second thoughts he decided to men
tion the matter to her husband, and
requested him to say nothing about it
to his wife. In the evening, as she
was preparing the porridge, the man
kept a watchful eye on her move
ments, and noticed that she scat
tered something out of a paper
into the saucepan. When the por
ridge was ready he sat down to
the table and began to eat. After
awhile he got up in great excitement,
paced up and down the room and at
last fell fainting on the floor. This
was what the woman expected. She
now pulled down a rope through a
hole in the ceiling with a noose,
which she placed around her hus
band’s neck, whereupon she ran up
stairs into the garret in order to pull
up the rope and hang her husband in
that fashion. Meanwhile the husband
got up and tiod a few chairs to the
rope. The wife did not return to the
room, as she dreaded the sight, but
went out into the village to raise an
alarm, saying that her husband had
hanged himself in her absence. When
she came back With a host of neigh
bors and crocodile tears in her eyes
there was her husband sitting at the
table, laughing till his sides ached.
The chairs were still dangling on the
rope.
AN IMPRESSIVE TRAIT.
A Queer Man Who Made a Friend by Re*
■peet for HU Mother.
During' my bohemian days it occur
red that I sat in an uptown cafe with
the sort of a man whom this incident
will reveal.
A wild-looking, unkempt chap,
gaunt, shabby, with a four days’
growth of beard, rushed in, looked
wildly around and then hurried over
to my companion and took him aside.
As a result of their conversation the
man with me turned to me and said
in a whisper:
“I am going to ask you to loan me
$2, but don’t you do it.”
Then he asked ms and I refused
the loan, and the gaunt man went
unsteadily out.
“Queer duck, that,” said the man at
the table with me; “always getting
into scrapes, taking out opera com
panies and leaving them stranded.
The last scrape he got into was in
Montreal. He telegraphed home: ‘I
am in jail on a technicality, but don’t
tell mother.’ That struck me as very
funny, ‘Don’t tell mother.’ But he
was always' an ill-balanced ass, any
way.”
Now that thoughtfulness of his
mother in the young mae who wanted
to borrow $2 struck me as a rather de
serving trait, and I left my compan
ion abruptly and followed him out. I
saw enough of him to convince me
that he was not a man of business,
and not even an admirable character.
However, I loaned him the $2. Since
then he has been considerably in the
public view in many ups and downs.
But he is now the impresario of a lot
of continental stars. I wish him well.
Like Mark Twain I love a man who
never shakes his mother. This one's
name is Robert Grau.
THOUGHT HE’D FOOL PEOPLE.
One Bridegroom Who Didn't Propose
to Give the Thing Away.
They looked like a bridal couple as
they boarded a Chicago train at a Phil
adelphia station. There were half a
score of friends on the platform who
liad com3 to say good-by. A few
grains of rice dropped from the young
man’s hat brim' as he entered the par
lor oar. He carefully escorted the
fair partner to a seat. All the other
passengers smiled indulgently and
looked interested. Then the young
man extended his hand to the
young woman and said in a very
loud voice and with the most
commonplace formality: “Well, Miss
Blank, the train is about to pull out.
I wish you a very pleasant journey.”
And doffing his soft hat, he hurriedly
left the car. The passengers looked
disappointed; the young woman look
ed nervous. By and by she called the
porter and whispered to him. The
porter nodded his head and passed to
the rear of the car. He came back in
a moment and said in a voice that was
audible to everyone in the car, “Yo’re
all right, ma’am. He’s in de smokin’
compartment.” Everybody smiled
and the bride blushed prettily.
Lockhart's Joke.
Lockhart, the son-in-law and biogra
pher of Sir Walter Scott, played a
practical joke on Lord Robertson,
who sent him a copy of a poem for
notice in the Quarterly Review. lie
wrote a scathing article on the work,
had it put into type, and only one
copy of it printed, and that, of course,
his lordship duly received, hound up
in his number of the Quarterly. The
review is said to have contained the
famous epitaph or epigram.
"Here lies the ChristUa Jud;e, and Poet
Peter,
Who broke the laws of God, and man and
metre."
Cinderella.
The Euglish tale of Cinderella is
found in the Servian tale of Papalluga,
in the German tale of Ascbenputtel
and in the fable of La Fontaine about
the milkmaid and her pall. The
legend of Beauty and the Beast is also
found in the myths of the Hindoo,
Greek and Norseman. All of these
tales had a common origin in Central
Asia.
MISSED A JOLLY TRIP,
Bat Frucrnd the Dignity nr III* (.ItUa
South American republic,
. Just before the Mhia.ivj.ilW sailed
from Philadelphia for the trip which
proved so successful, Dr. 11. Estanis
laus Zeballos, the Argentine Repub
lic’s minister to this country, who had
boon invitid to go along us a guest,
walked up the gang plank in Cramp’s
ship yard with a servant. He was
shown to the room which hud been
reserved for him. ->n 1 which, in view
of the crude oond t on of the cruiser,
consequent upon her trial trip, ho
found plainly fm'nisho l, He also dis
covered that the president of the
trial bo ird and Chairman Cummings
of the house committee on naval af
fairs had state rooms that woro some
what more roomy an t butter situated,
but no better furnlsht 1.
Dr. Zoballus at once declared that
in his capacity as m'n’stor to the
United States from tin Argentine Re
public lie could not accept any accom
modations on the ship which were
not equal to those assigned to any
other person, and he made a request
for a better roe n. it w.is impossible
for Captain S.irgent to tin 1 such ac
commodation or to turn Mr. Cummings
or any other official out of the quar
ters to which lie had been assigned.
Dr. Zeballos declared that, under
these circumstances, he could not ac
company the ship on the trip and
would leave forthwith. The officials
of the Cramp company expressed their
regret very politely, and Dr. Zeballos,
with servant trailing along behind
him, walked down the gang plank
and thus preserved the dignity of the
Argentine Republic, but missed the
most beautiful trial trip that lias over
been made.
ONE OF PILATE'S SOLDIERS.
I’lie Man \\ tu> Thrust Ilia (.unco Into
< hrlMt'A Slrte.
The name of the soldier who piorced
Christ's sido with the spear while he
was hanging1 on. the cross has been
preserved in the legendary lore of the
church as Longinus. This man was
one of the soldiers appointed to keep
guard at the cross, an 1 it is said that
lie was converted by the miracles
which attended the crucifixion. The
legend even goes further, declaring
that lie was one of the company of
watchers set to guard the sepulcher,
and that he was the only one who re
, fused to be bribed to say that the
[body of our Savior had been
stolen by the disciples. For
his fidelity to this great truth
Pilate resolved upon his destruc
tion. Oft this account Longinus left
the army to devote his entire tune tft
spreading the gospel; but he did this
without first getting permission from
the government of Judea or from
Rome. Ho, and two fellow soldiers
whom he had converted, retired to
Cappadocia, where they began to
preach the word of God. At the insti
gation of some of the leading Jews,
however, Pilate sent out a detach
ment of soldiers who surpris’d the de
serters, who were holding a Christian
meeting, and where they had three
crosses set up as an illustration of the
great tragedy which had occurred but
a short while before at Jerusalem.
All three wore killed and beheaded,
and their heads nailed upon tho
crosses and carried back in triumph to
Jerusalem.
StranjB Mo I City.
Dr. Von den Steinan was kindly re
ceived by Indian tribes in Urazil who
never dresso l themselves except for
social festivities. They were, how
ever, extremely delicate-minded, and
their refinement took the form of
thinking it a dreadful thing to e it in
public. Having received soma fried
fish from a kindly hand, and being
extremely hungry, the doctor began
eating in public. All the company
present lowered their eyes, and
turned away their heads. If they
saw a European at table d’hote they
would die of confusion. Dr. Von den
Steinen attributes this excess of re
finement to.,a survival of the instinct
which cause * a dog to hide himself
while gnawing a stolen bone.
Tired, Weak, Nervous
Could Not Sleep.
Prof. L. D. Edwards, of Preston,
Idaho, says: “I was all run down,
weak, nervous and irritable through
overwork. I suffered from brain fa
tigue, mental depression, etc. I be
came so weak and nervous that I
could not sleep, I would arise tired,

l.lglittir Mourning.
Of Into years the rigors of porfuno
tory mourning1 hnvo been greatly
modified. There is little heard nowa
days of how long people should stay
away from the theater after the death
of a relative', oratoxactly what period
it is again proper to dine with “a few
friends.” Even a widow need no
longer count the threads of white in
her collar and handkerchief in mortal
terror lest there should bo one too
many. On the whole, the tendenoy is
a sensible one, which, in the naturo
of things, cah hardly go too tar. Peo
ple suffering real bereavement are
not likely to be guilty of undue levity,
while no sort of hypocrisy is more
hideous than an affectation of sorrow.
Donth tn a Gum Ball.
An infant daughter of John Waters,
at Lancaster, ?enn., met with a sud
den and singular death. The child,
a year old, was left in the care of her
brother, six years old. They played
with a small gum ball and the baby
put it in her mouth. The boy called
the father, who was in another room,
and he endeavored to take the ball
from the baby. The child, thinking
he was playing, leaned back, laughed
and swallowed the ball. Before a
physician could be summoned the
child was dead.
A Daring Bet.
Herr Heinrich Stott, a Berliner,
made a bet of £350 that during the
time between Juno 15, 1893, and
January 1, 1805, he will walk through
at least two countries of each of the
five continents of the worid, defray
ing the expenses of his journey with
the money he earns en route. So far
he has had plenty of adventures. In
Algiers he was arrested as a spy, but
acquitted after being detained four
months in prison.
