Now, maybe you’ll describe Emily to me?” “Why, she had on her Knox hat, her black blazer suit, a white shirt waist with a black satin tie, and a black satin vest You know Emily, Billy.” Billy—Um—ml I see.

Kngllsh Visitor. ; , A few evenings ago there chanced , ; to be a distinguished visitor from the British isles at one o( the Washing ton hotels, and to him the reporter sent up his card, putting his name just over the paper he represented, thinking the juxtaposition would es tablish the connection between the : ' two with sufficient clearness. It has always done so with American vic tims. The bellboy who took the card tarried long—in fact, he stayod so long-that a second boy was sent after the first, to see what caused the delay. In a little while down came both, No. - 1 bringing the information that the tourist said he didn't know either one of the gentlemen, and begged to . be excused. Tnen the boy explained that the guest on being handed the card gazed at it awhile in silence, and finally went to his trunk and hauled out a book. For some minutes he hunted for the name of the reporter in his list of acquaintances, and then he began running through the Fs, thinking it possible he must have met a Mr. Post somewhere in his travels. As his seareh wasn’t successful in * , . .either case he got a second book and .V went through that with a similar re suit. That was why the bellboy tried the reporter's patience and that was why the message came that “he didn’t know either one of the gentle mam *• ON8 ON OSCAR WILDE. m, , ■ Why Artist Whistler Couldn't Bailout . HU Cat Bad Had Kittens. Everyone knows the story of Whist ler's celebrated reply to Oscar Wilde’s envious exclamation of delight of a elever sketch of the eccentric painter —how Oscar said, “Oh, Jimmy, how I wish I had said that!” and how Whist ler answered, “Never mind, dear boy, you will”—but everyone does not know, says the Chap-book, how during the time that they were triads, a kitten was given to Whistler, and that in token of affection and wlthout]undue curiosity he had named it Oscar. Time passed a nd Whistler's wife invaded the studio one day with a momentous announcement “Jimmy.” said she, “did you know Oscar has kittens?” “Impossible,” said Whistler, laying down his brushes; “Oscar can’t” “Come and see,” said his wife. Together they went to where Oscar and the kittens lay. Mrs. Whistler looked at her husband, who stood for a moment in amasemeut and dismay. “Never mind,” he said, “they must be plagiarised." ■%>: ■ VV vv V'fV ;>■” Saved by a Dog and a Dram In 1770 a ship was wreoked on the south coast of England, not far from Portsmouth. Fortunately, owing to the sharp wits of one of the sailors, all souls were saved. He got a drum that happened to he on board, re paired its defects so as,to make it quite watertight, then * fastened a rope to it securely, and tied the whole round a dog. Next he let the dog into the sea, and the noble animal succeeded in reaching the land. There some on-lookers seized the drum and hauled in the rope. By now a much stronger rope had been tied to the end of the first one, and by its means passengers and crew were gradually drawn ashore. f ■i Complimentary. A well-known professor of natural science married recently and took his young wife to a meeting of a learned society. Another eminent professor of the same branch took pity on the evident shyness of (he bride, and came up to her; whereupon she, fish ing for a little compliment, said: “I feel so out of place among all these clever people!” And he answered— gallantly, as he thought: “Well, you know, scientific men never do marry qlever wives!” % ■ Oscar Wilde’s Reply. ■ ' A story is being told that on the death recently of the great scholar, Waiter Plater, the editor of a London evening paper telegraphed to Oscar Wilde to ask him to supply some per sonal gossip about the dead man, who was known to be a friend of the ex ’ {esthetic, whereupon Mr. Wilde wired hack: “Leave the gossip to the jack als, not the lions, of literature. ” . , T*\ # Vi* A WONDERFUL MEMORY. A Chicago Railroader Who Con Bo member Car Number*. "Memory is a gift that toemi to be very unevenly distributed,'' said O. L. Blackwell, a Chicago railroad officiaL "We have a man in the employ of our road who is blessed with the most wonderful memory I ever heard of. It is the duty of this man to keep ac count of the different ears as they come into the yard. When a train whistles he steps out on the platform, without either book or pencil, ] and takes a mental note of the cars as they go by. If any one happens to be standing near him at the time he is thus engaged he does not hesitate to enter into con versation with him, and when the train has passed he steps back into the office and makes a complete and accurate record of the train, begin ning at the first car and ending with the caboose. Sometimes, just to test his ability, the men would get him to begin at the caboose and write the numbers the other way, or else begin in the middle of the train and work both ways In any case he never has made a mistake that I know of. Car numbers, the names of the roads to which they belong and iheir relative positions in the train would always bo recorded accurately. THE BISHOP’S CIQARS. •aw oihukvu lii» iiniurvi Alter uuu Brotherly Brand*. A man In clorical garb and with a handsome lace walked along a Chi cago street, looking at the show windows until he came to one which contained cigars and pipes, and such stock as a cigar dealer would display. The man in clerical garb and with a handsome face walked into the cigar store, lie examined several brands and bought several After the purchase the cigar man said.to one of his loungers: “That’s Bishop-, of- church. He thinks I don’t know what he is up to. I have a friend who knows the bishop's home life, and he told me about him and his cigars. Now he bought three brands here. One was very light, the second very heavy and the third is a cigar that you or 1 wouldn’t buy unless we had to. I am told that the bishop calls them his •before,’ ‘after’ and ‘brotherly.’ The first he smokes just before he goes at his ecclesiastical work, whatever it may be; the second he puffs leisurely after his work is over and the third he gives to the visiting clergy who like to smoke. Bo you see the old yarn about carrying two kinds of chewing tobacco has a counterpart in high life.” _ A Brown Paper Magnet. A very simple and interesting elec trlcal experiment may be made with • sheet of brown paper, Illustrating in a remarkable manner how the most astonishing effects may be produced by the simplest means. Take a sheet of coarse brown paper, and after hold ing it before the fire till it is perfectly dry, fold it up into a long strip of about two inches wide. The magnet is now complete. To exhibit its at tractive power, cut some strips of writing paper about three inches long and about as wide as these lines, then place them upon the table, three or four together. Now take the magnet and draw it briskly under the arm three or four times; its electro- mag netism is instantly developed, and be comes apparent when held over the small strips of writing paper, for they fly up from the table toward the paper maguet veritably “by the wings of lightning.” Row Sam Was Bleached. A queer story comes from North Carolina. Sam Spence, a colored man of Union county was in the woods gathering' wild grapes. He climbed a tree and slipped off. His foot became entangled in the vines and he was suspended in the air by one foot. Spence had to wait for assistance, which did not arrive for more than an hour. The blood all flowed toward his head, and after he was taken down he became very sick. .Since that time all the wool on his head has pulled out and he is getting almost as white as a white man. His skin first began fading in Bpots, which have now spread all over his body. Gone to Pot. The origin of the phrase “Gone to pot," has been traced to an old story about a tailor of Snmarcand, who lived near the gate of the city on the road leading to the cemetery. It is said that this knight of the shears had outside his cottage an earthen ware pot, into which he dropped a pebble for every corpse that passed by, and at the end of each moon counted the number. At length the tailor himself died, and his neighbors remarked, “Poor fellow, he now is gone to pot also. ” • Philosophy or a Five-Year-Old. A 5-year-Old Boston . boy’s ethical philosophy was brought out the other day, when his father told him how glad he was that he had been such a good boy all through Sunday, when he was left much to himself. The boy answered in a matter-of-fact way, “I haven't been thinking about good. I think I'm better when I don’t think about it. I don’t think of anything— naughty or anything; I just think about what a good time I’m having.” The Odors and Color or Flowers. , Plants with white blossoms have a larger proportion of fragrant speciqs than any other; nest comes red, then yellow and blue; aftei which, and in the same order, may be reckoned violet, green, orange, brown and black. The flowers of spring are white and highly fragrant; those of summer are red and yellow and less fragrant; those of autumn and winter are darker and with still less per fume. THB WORKING CHINESE. fhejr Lnn Home . to Molt* Hone/ end Go Hack to Enjoy It. “I remember during our civil war,” laid a Mississippi planter, “hearing' tn old negro on my father’s planta tion say that the war was necessary because the people were getting too thick and the Lord would thin them out. I think this reason might be fully as appropriate in reference to the present Chinese and Japanese quarrel. Chinamen swarm not only in portions of our coun try, but wherever they can get a foothold. The cities in the East indies are full of them. They are shop-keepers, farmers and particularly mechanics. Hardly a inechanie of any description can be found there who is not a Chinaman. Incessant and indefatigable workers, they save a competency, and some times large fortunes, and then return to China to live at their ease. Many well-to-do Chinamen go home before their youth is passed, and marrying, stay a short time and then return to their money-making, and, in many cases, their temporary and foreign wives. No respectable Chinese woman ever leaves her native land, for it is against the law, and even if their lives were not forfeited on their re turn, all social standing would bo lost to them. On this account the China men do not bring their wives with them, and, though their sons that are born to them in foreign countries are brought up as Chinese, the daughters never go to China, but stay in the ’and of their birth.” SNAKE-KILLING IGUANAS. These Large Lizards Make a Regular Job of Fighting Serpents. “In South America," said a traveler recently, “snakes are very numerous. Perhaps the most notable of these snake-killers is the large lizard known as the iguana. The iguana is no mean adversary, as may be judged from the fact that dogs which attack one often eome off with a broken leg. The liz ard does not wait for the snake to take the offensive, but goes swiftly in pursuit, and being very rapid in its motions rarely has any difficulty in overtaking its victim, which it d is patches with blows from its power ful tail. I remember a funny ex perience I had with one of these lizards which clearly illustrated its hatred for snakes. I was riding with a friend in search of cattle. My la s so was attached to the saddle and the end trailed along the ground behind me. “A big iguana lay in the sun appar ently asleep. It paid no attention to my horse as it passed, but the next Instant it raised its head and fixed its attention on the twenty feet of lasso slowly trailing by. Suddenly it rushed after the rope and dealt it a succession of violent blows with its tail. When the whole of the lasso, several yards of which had been dragged by, the lizard, with uplifted head, continued to gaze after it with evident astonishment Never before had such a wonderful snake • crossed .*• % ; , From tho Vatican. The state department at Washington is considerably troubled with tho care of certain large packing cases piled up in the collar of the building marked “The Vatican, Home, Italy.” They contain the priceless manuscripts and relics sent by his holiness the pope to the Columbian exposition. Through an arrangement made with the Ameri can minister in Rome to the Italian court the Columbian collection was brought to the United States on board an American man-of-war, and a guar antee was given that it should be re turned to the proper place in Rome by the sapae method of transportation. Unfortunately, however, it has been impossible up to this time to return these articles to their rightful owner from the fact that American men-of war have not been receiving orders which would take them in the vicinity of the historic seven-hilled city. Spe cial pains and care, however.are taken with these relics and curios of the great explorer at tho state department and watchmen have been detailed to keep constant vigil over them during tho entire twenty-four hours of tho day. A Novel .Exhibition. Vienna will have a novel exhibition in u.-.j winter of 1895-96, tho arrange ments for which have just been made.

It will include portraits of the persons who took part in tho congress—Met ternich, Talleyrand, Wellington, Cas tlereagh and other distinguished mdn of the time; paintings of the chief oc currences during the session of the congress and reproductions of the fashions, uniforms, court dresses and furniture of the day. A Health Indicator. Mrs. Nexdoor—How is old Mr. Moneybaggs this morning? Mrs. Sharpeye—I haven’t heard; but I noticed that Dr. Bigfee looked very gloomy when he left the Moneybaggs residence a little while ago. Mrs. Nexdoor—Ah, then tho dear old gentleman is getting well. A Near-Sighted Citizen Citizen, excitedly—Officer, there is a dance hall open around the corner. I heard the mu3ic. And on Sunday night, to”! Policeman — You must be near sighted. You can see by the bills in front of the house that it ain’t a dance hall. It’s a sacred concert. Cooking Schools Abroad. There aro about 150 cooking schools in Germany and Austria.
