Here is a pretty little story about
Carmen Sylva; A few years ago,
when she was In tbe senith of her
popularity and health, she visited a
small Tillage school incog., and asked
permission to put the children through
their “paces." The children did their
mistress credit, answering with great
promptitude all the simple questions
tbe queen put to them.
Just before leaving the queen no
ticed one little tot in a far eorner of
the room, with her tangled head of
hair bent over some book. The child
was so deeply engrossed In her read
ing that she took no notice whatever
of anybody in the room. The queen
asked the reason of her silence; was
she deaf or otherwise afflloted? “Oh,
no,” was the answer, “but she is
stupid and never attends to her
studies, but seises every opportunity
to read story books” Carmen Sylva
walked quietly up to the little reader,
and putting her hand on the curl;
head, asked gently what the child
was reading, and the latter held up
the book to the strange lady. It was
“Fairy Stories and Poems,” by Car
men Sylva. “And do you like these
tales?” asked their author. “Like
them, madame? oh, I love them.”
And Carmen Sylva took the child in
her arms, kissed the Httle flushed
face, and departed. About a week
afterward the child's aunt (for the
little maiden was an orphan) received
a letter from the queen offering to
educate and bring up the child. The
offer was gratefully and thankfully
accepted, and now the little one is in
sne of the best schools in Koumania.
DANIEL WEBSTER'S FBB8.
The Great Lawyer*! laooaae Was Ba
nmally l imited Keen for HU Hay.
One of our correspondents has been
so lucky as to fall In with a little
leather-coyered book, like those of
our bank depositors, which- contains
Daniel Webster’s autograph record of
his legal receipts. This ehroniole fills
twenty-eight pares, and extends a
little more than from 1883 to 1830 in
clusive. The first entry, dated Sep
tember In the former y jar, is of fSO,
and the second of 820, for retainers
on the New York circuit. The first
fee of 81,000 was paid in May, 1834,
by a Mr. Badger. Services regarding
Cilley’s will commanded 8800. The
total amount for the first year was
813,140, with the remark, “Soph 33,
1834, thus done and concluded.” :
A similar summing np appears at
the close of eaoh other year. The i
second total is 818,183.74; the third is 1
821,793. The first entry of 88,000 was
in 1838, March 7; the first of 83,000 i
December 7 in the same year. This |
last payment was in respect to Flori
da land. The largest, single honor- :
arium was 87,500. In February of the <
fourth year 88,000 is set down as be- !
stowed in a case of Trinity church
(New York). In turning over this
record leading metropolitan and even i
provincial lawyers are astonished that
Webster, although twenty years in
Boston, so undervalued his servicea i
Be learned better at lash When
Bobert C. Winthrop looked at the i
earliest date he said: “That’s Just I
the time that I was ending my studies i
in Webster’s office,” and the chirogra- i
phy led him to add that Webster <
never wrote a firm hand. (
Names of Chinese War Ships. I
To the Chinese there is no oon- 1
fusion in the names of their cruisers I
and gunboats, and if Ting Ynen and
Ring Yuen get mixed by the time 1
they arrive in New York it will not 1
seriously affect the fortunes of war
in the China sea.’ In colloquial Chi
nese the distinction is preserved by
the difference of tone. In the Chi- <
nese characters, or ideographs, the 1
possibility of confusion is absolutely 1
nil, for Ching Yuen and Chih Yuen no 1
more resemble each other than do I
flew York and Minneapolis, or than 1
Bunker hill monument resembles the ]
state house. “Tidg Ytten? signifies ]
“future security;’’ “Chen Yuen,” I
“guarding the future." The oharao- ’
'ters on- the other vessels are as dis- <
tinct in sound, appearance "and mean- 1
Ing as these two. <
n» la tklu. |
When a fire starts in a certain lo> i
eality in Chinese cities protested by i
(rails extending from one end of the
town to the other, a large wooden
gate is swung across \he street In
this way the fire is confined to defi
nite limits. Generally the first is un
interrupted until there is nothing
left within the inclosure but ashes,
and in the ashes the owner must seek
his property. He has no insurance
methods, and unless helped by his
own family is left to startanew.
The re-building is not a difficult mat
ter, as there are no foandations or
ee liars.
A Fine Paiaafe.
A very rain preacher haring de
livered a sermon in the hearing of the
Rev. Robert Hall, pressed him toetate
what he thought of the sermon. Mr.
Hall remained silent for * some ' time,
bnt this only caused the question to <
be pressed with greater earnestness. 1
At lsngtb Mr. Hail admitted: “There i
was one very fine passage” “I am i
rejoiced to hear you say so. ■ Pray, '
»ir, what was it?" “Why, air,-it etas 1
the passage from the pulpit tof the I
vestry.” 1
Mr. Gilbert’s I Isnsant inuttoa
W. S. Gilbert was lunching, not
iong ago, at a country hotel, when
he found himself in company with
three cycling clergymen, by whom
was drawn into conversation.
When they discovered who he was,
one of the party asked Mr. Gilbert
‘how he felt in such a grave and

Admiral tob Werner, a high authow
lty In naval matters in Germany, de
eeribes in a work reoently published
the behavior of armor-plated men-of
war in heavy seas. He says: “Even
with a moderate pie and sea an
armor-plated crnlser, if going against
the wind, will find herself in condi
tions similar to those of a storm—at
least, the crew will have that im
pression. The movements of the stern
of the ship are violent and exceed
ingly disagreeable. The waves pushed
by the advancing prow sweep con
tinually over the ship from bow to
stern. All windows and port holes
mnst be closed, and air reaches the
lower decks, where the heat increases
unbearably, only through the artifi
cial ventilators With tho ex
ception of the specially pro
tected command bridge all the
uncovered portions of the ship are
impassable; thus the whole of the
crew must bear as well as they can
the hell of the dosed deoks. On such
s ship no one can feel oomfortable;
and when there Is a storm in which a
tailing ship would feel comparatively
at ease the crew of an armor-plated
ship imagines itself te be in a heavy
hurricane which threatens destruc
tion at every minute. The long, nar
row forepart of the ship, whioh is not
borne lightly by the water, and is
rendered extremely heavy by the
mighty ram and the armored deck
tnd the cannon and torpedoes, forces
the ship in a high sea to pitehings
and rollings of such an extraordinary
kind that they cannot be described,
rhe crew of such a ship is not only
exposed to mortal dangers, but the
voyages they make render them
physically, extremely and danger
cusly nervous; the mental impressions
they receive wear them out and make
the profession hateful.”
THEY ARE WELL “FIXED.

One evening, at a symphony re
tearsal of the Meiningen orchestra,
lulow stopped the orchestra and ex*
claimed: “Kettle-drums fortet” The
trammer, who thought he had done
iretty well already, redoubled his
iSorts; but again Bulow stopped and
ihouted: “Kettle-drums forte!” Once
uore the drummer put on extra steam;
ind, when Bulow stopped again, he
txclaimed, “Really, Herr Kapell

[uietly; “you play fortissimo, and

Corset* for the Feet.
The latest atrocity in the interest

Che new instrument of torture is
nade so as to enable a size smaller

ixed round the instep while the foot

imall, and the pressure being on the I
sorset instead of the shoe, the latter

AN APT SCHOLAR.
B* KMf Philadelphia StroafHl Pa
trlotle Point.
The class In geography was reciting
and there were several visitors. The
subject for the day was the state of
Pennsylvania. “Now, children,” said
the teacher, “who can bound Pennsyl
vania?”
Half a dozen hands went up and
waved wildly in the air and a little
girl gave the boundaries of the state
correctly.
“What is the largest city in Penn
sylvania?” asked the teacher.
U“Philadelphia!" shouted the little
boy with the jersey suit.
“Now,*’ continued the teacher,
“who can tell me what building there
is in Philadelphia about which no true
American should think without a
glow of love and patriotism? What
building is there which w e should all
revere and which is the pride of every
loyal son of the United Stat es?”
This was a poser and no one an
swered for a time. Finally a boy
who sat on the front row raised his
hand. "Well,” said the teacher, “you
may tell, Sammy Einstein.”
"Der mintl” shouted Sammy, tri
umphantly.
Another View of It,
“In the slow evolution of the race,' (
mused the elephant, looking with lan- <
guid interest at the throng of curious |
gazers that stood on the outside of the !
ropes and fed him with cakes, peanuts |
and candy, “how many millions of i
years it must require to evolve from '
the shapeless and rudimentary pro- <
jection on the face of the creature 1
called man the full and perfect pro
boats.” _
natural Taste for Roughing It.
There is not such a difference in
tastes in men and women as some
people suppose. Nothing is better
liked by the average man in the way
of diversion than a brief season of
camping out, and the women, God
bless them! are just as daft on house
cleaning, which comes as near camj>
Ing out as it is possible for one thing
to be like another. I
Etna and Vesuvius.
It is estimated that Mount Etna hat
thrown out nine times its own bulk
of cinders and lava; and that all the
houses in London and New York could
be built of the lava thrown out by
Vesuvius since the first recorded erup
tion, in A. D. 70.
Temptation.
“Huh,” exclaimed the first little (
girl, after she had heard the story of
the fall of man, “the serpent couldn't
tempt me with an apple. I don't like
apples.” “But,” argued the second
girl, “s’pose somebody told you not to
eat apples?”
