Vow Cnoonaoloni Pierrot Bored o Vo*
mon'i Life.
Apropos of the success which Pier
rot is meeting with in this country,
thanks to Mile. Pilar-Morin, Aims
Lachaume, Vance Thompson, and
others, a little story was told to me
the other day by a girl who played
with Pierrot in France some eight
years ago. She was just a clown’s
assistant, the butt of his jokes. It
was her duty to get in everybody’s
way. It was at the Hippodrome. A
female acrobat, who, it was said, was
dying of consumption, was doing a
difficult feat up among the lights on
the trapeze, while Pierrot swung on
the edge of the net. Several
times the performer called to
the small white figure below. But
Pierrot paid no attention. He was
paid'to act as a small edition to a
Clown. Pierrot was 10 years old and
not used to grewsome confessions, so
when the flying trapeze lady, with
glowing eyes and crimson cheeks,
slid down the rope, seized him by
both shoulders, and thrust him before
her to her dressing-room, he cried.
“Do you bambin what you have
done?" she asked him. “I am alive.
I might have been dead but for you.
I am aportriniere. Sais-tu? I will
starve in a month, because I can
climb no longer. Comprehend tu? I
would have jumped to-night—do you
know what I am saying?—jumped
from the trapeze; they would have
said, 'an accident’; there would have
been a collection for the old mother;
but you—you hung on the > net like a
bee to a flower. You saved my life,
wicked one. If I had jumped I might
have killed you.’’
THE KENTUCKY PREACHER.
How Brother Penrod Got » Congrega
tion Willing to Hear Rim.
“When I give out that I would
preach at the head o’ Trace Fork,”
said Rev. Lemuel Penrod, “my friends
all up an’ tole me I’d never git a con
gregashun. They sed there wuz
never a rope of savin’ grace made
stout enough to drag them 'ar natives
to the fear uv the spirit.
“But I knowed better. Although
you may think I wuz city born, an’
have wore out the backs uv many
coats against college walls, hits all
er mistake. I wuz born an’ fotched
up in the mountings. I know ye don’t
believe hit. Hit looks unreasonable,
but, suh, I’m er 6elf-made man. I
edercated myse’f. I hain’t got no
body but the Lord an’ myse’f to
thank for the work I hev done, suh.
“What did I do ter get the crowd?
That’s what I’m swingin’ er round to.
Wall, suh, I got me a spring wagin’
an' set six four-gallon jugs in the
back part uv it Every house I’d pass
on the way ter preachin’ grounds I'd
lift up a jug an’ pretend ter be drink
in’. Then I’d set down the jug, lift
up mer voice an’ shout? ‘Come all ye
thet famish an’ thirst for the blessed
Spirit ter the head o’ Injun, an’ ye
shall be filled?’ The whole family
all their visitors, wud take arter my
wagin. I kep' repeatin' this dose in
front uv every house, an’ when I got
ter the place fer preachin’ I had the
biggest gatherin’ thet ever had been
seen in that neck o’ the woods. A re
vival begun at once. Forty souls war
brought ter Christ, an’ only one man
killed durin’ that blessed week!”
How the Eskimo Count.
The Eskimo count their fingers—
one, two, three, four,five. Above five,
and up to ten they use the second!
hand: thus, six is “the first finger of
the other hand.” Above ten they era
ploy the toes. Thirteen, for instance,
is “three toes upon the one foot.” a^nd
eighteen, “three toes on the second
foot.” Twenty they describe 9U a
“whole man.” They seldom, go
farther than this, but they capi do so
if necessary. For example, tfaley ex
press twenty-two by saying, ‘ftwo on
the second man;” thirty- se/ve a by
“two toes on the second man’ls second
foot;" forty is “the whole o/t a second
man.” According to Dr. Nansen they
cannot, or at least do not^ count be
yond one hundred, which the whole
of the fifth man.”
Woman’s Contempt for this Burglar.
What has come over she woman
that she should suddenly begin all
over the country to hunt,) shoot, cap
ture and scare her own burglars?
Every other day some woman scares
a burglar almost to deatlh. Mrs. Sa
rah McGregor of Jamaica, a lone wid
ow, frightened her burglhr through a
glass window recently a fad then shot
at him, so that he bledi in her front
yard. The burglar was/ not caught.
A burglar fills a man With fear. He
appears to inspire contempt, or in
dignation at most, in a Woman. “You
get right out of here!’! is what the
Widow McGregor said. I

Charley Davit tells a food story
anent Mark Twain, In which the hu
morist was for once out-humored.
Davis was then with the Forepaugh
show, whioh happened at that partle.
ular date to be playing at Hartford
The enterprising agent thought it
would be a good advertisement to get
an interview arranged between Twain
and the Indians then a feature of the
circus. He called upon the humorist
and laid the matter before him. Mark
said he didn’t care for Indians and
was busy, and didn’t see what the In
dians had to do with him, anyway.
“Why, the fact is,” replied the cir
cus man, with a gravity worthy of a
higher life, “they have heard of you
and want naturally to see you.”
This didn’t appear to be strange to
Mr. Clemens. Still, he was indis
posed to grant the request until Davis
swore that a big Sioux chief had de
clared that he would never die happy
if compelled to return to the reserva
tion without having seen and spoken
to the man whose fame was as wide
as the world.
"All right,” said Twain. “Run ’em
in at six and let us make it short.”
_ About that hour the humorist sat on
his porch and saw to his astonishment
an immense cavalcade of mounted
warriors coming down the street. In
the place of a half dozen chiefs ex
pected, there were not less than fifty
savages tearing along like mad in ex
hibition of their horsemanship. They
turned in upon the lawn and broke
down the shrubbery and wore oft the
grass and devastated the whole place.
The spokesman of the party was a
mighty hunter and had been previous
ly informed that Twain was distin
guished for the awful slaughter of
wild beasts, so he laid himself out for
a game of brag. The interpreter was
in the deal and, instead of repeating
what the chief really said, made a
speech of his own,speaking of Twain’s
literary achievements.
“For heaven’s sake, choke him off,”
said Twain once or twice.
The interpreter turned to the chief
and said the white hunter wanted to
hear more. And on he went. Every
time the humorist cried for quarter
the chief was told to give another
hunting story. Finally, the Indian
vocabulary becoming exhausted, the
chief quit, whereupon Twain made a
brief reply, which was quadrupled in
length by the interpreter turning it
into a marvelous hunting yarn. The
chief listened with stolid indifference,
but when they got away he grunted
contemptuously and said:
“White hunter heap big liar.’’
HER SON RETURNED.
But Weary Baggier Wu a Trill*
Tardy.
“Madam,” he said, as she held the
door open a little way and asked him
what he wanted, “perhaps it so hap
pened years ago that you had a son
wander away from the family fire
side?”
“Yes, it did,” she replied, as she
opened the door a little further.
“He went out into the cold world
and became a wanderer o'er the face
of the earth?”
“Yes, he did."
“Days and weeks and months ran
into years and you heard no word of
him? You knew not whether ho lived
or died?”
“As you say, I knew nothing,” re
plied the woman as she stood in the
door and looked fixedly at the tramp.
“Well, ma’am,” he continued, “I
don’t want to raise any false hopes,
but—but—’’
“But you are just a little too late,”
she finished as he swallowed the lump
in his throat, and tried to wipe away
a tear. “My wandering son returned
about two hours ago and is now tak
ing a soak in the bathtub. Had
you called early this morning, you
know—”
“Then the situation is filled?”
“It is."
“Just my luck, ma’am, but of course
you are cot to blame for it. I con
gratulate you and your wandering son
and will bid you good day and try the
family next door. ”

varying articles of attire, as diversi

obergarderobier who has under his
command two valcts-de-chambre.
The nautical uniforms are placed
under the charge of an ex-subofficer

provided with an exhaustive list of
all the dresses and other parapher

WANT TO DO LI K SWISS
•tala* of William r«an Rtvlm later
aal la Ona of Ro|«t HU llama.
The placing of a colossal figure ol
William Penn on the Philadelphia
eity hall has inspired a proposal to
perpetuate the memory of Roger
Williams, in the same way on the
dome of Rhode Island's new state
house. It is now reoalled that the
Roger Williams monument association
started a fund thirty* four years ago
to erect a memorial column 330 feet
high on Prospect hill. Zachanah Al
len in his diary of that time says with
amusing ignorance of the problem
presented by the convexity of the
earth. “A statue on the top of this
oolumn would stand nearly 450 feet
above tidewater. It would be
conspicuous from Newport and
Block Island, and I think from the
statehouse in Boston.” Thus, It was
suggested would the capital of the
colony which disgraced its intelli
gence by the banishment of Williams,
be forever doomed to find his figure
still within sight. The association
failed to raise money enough to put
up the oolumn, but tho sum was de
posited in bank and has now in
creased to a Considerable sum. There
seems to be an impression that the
top of the statehouse would be an ap
propriate place for RogerWilliams and
the association is advised to transfer
its fund to the state if the govern
ment will agree to thus honor him
and will also bind itself to erect a
statue elsewhere to another great'
Rhode Islander, who has been neg
lected, General Greene of revolution
ary fame.
A MODERN SAPPHO.
She Jumped From a Tall OIIB to En«
Bar Lite's Won.
Some few days ago, writes an
Odessa correspondent a young and
pretty and elegantly attired girl of
about 17 years of age, named Anna
Popova, engaged a boatman at the
Graffski landing stage at Sebastopol
to take her to the monastery at Inker
mann. On alighting at the rocky
stairway leading up to the monastery
the girl gave the boatman a pour
boire of 10 copecks, promising to send
out by a servant the 80 copecks for
her fare. The boatman waited from
11 o’clock until noon, and was going
ashore to inquire for his passenger,
when she suddenly appeared upon
the summit of the towering rock
above the monastery, making signs
to the boatman below. On approach
ing nearer to the base of the cliff he
was desired to deliver a letter which
the girl flung down to him. At once
divining her suicidal intention,' the
boatman ran into the monastery and
raised an alarm.
A number of monks immediately
came out and entreated the girl to
descend from her perilous position,
while one of their number ascended
the tortuous acclivity and the unhap
py girl sprang from the dizzy height
of over a hundred feet and was killed
instantly. It is stated that the poor
child was driven to the dreadful apt
by constant ill-treatment at home.
Her father was a captain in the re
serves. _
, PLAN OF VENTILATION.
That of Massachusetts Schools Burs to
Be Excellent.
The plan of ventilating school
houses in Massachusetts possesses, it
is asserted, possibilities of insuring
first-class results, even when, from
certain unavoidable obstacles, only
one inlet is provided, the same being
located about eight feet above the
floor, and as nearly as practicable in
the center of the warm or inner side
of the room. Of equal importance
with the inlets is the size of the out
lets, or foul air ducts, as well as their
location, and it is found that for a
fifty-foot schoolrooom the outlet duct
should have an area of not less than
five square feet net, this to be placed
at the bottom or inner side, in case
the air is to be taken from the first
story down to the bottom of the foul
air shaft in the basement. The rule
is that in a room with two cold or ex
posed sides the outlet should be as
near the inner or warm angle of the
room as possible, and, in a room with
three exposed sides, the outlet should
be as near the inner or warm side as
practicable, this applying equally
well whether the warm air is brought
in through either one or two inlets.
It is desirable that the outflow of air
from the room through the outlet
should be a little in excesseof the
amount brought in at the warm-air
inlet, tho difference being made up
by air drawn into the room through
cracks and various small openings.
A Centenarian Donkey.
Herbivorous animals are generall)
thought to outlive carnivorous ones,
and of the former class those dedi
cated to labor appear to furnish the
largest number of instances of lon
gevity. A few years ago a donkey
died at Cromarty which was known
to be at least 100 years old. It could
be traced back to the year 1779, when,
at an unknown age, it came into the
hands of the then Ross of Cromarty,
and it lived in the same family "hale
and hearty,” until a kick from a
horse ended its career. No horse is
known to have attained to any thin?
like such an age as this, but a few
have lived to ages varying from 40
to SO years.
She Told Him the Beaton Why.
“Why is it that you girls seem to
think so much more of the men who
come in here than you do of the wo
men?” asked the man with an inter
rogation point in his mind. “Is it be
cause the men are more agreeable?”
"Ob, no,” replied the saleslady, with a
toss of her head. "It is because the
men are such ninnies that they don't
know what things ere worth. If they
do it doesn't matter, if yon only ap
pear to think they’re awfully bright
or awfully good looking."
