A WOMAN'S QLANCE.
OotQMqr of • Colored Olrl OfttuH ■
String of CotMtruphM.
She was a piquant little octoroon,
with a pretty faoe and stylish attire.
As sho started from the curb at a
busy junction near the Brooklyn city
hall ahe gave a pert glance at a well
dressed colored man who happonod
to halt beside her, and ho turned to
cross the street, too, says the New
York Sun. The girl reached the
opposite curb just as the man roached
the middle of the street, and, as she
turned to walk on, she gave another
roguish glance and a toss of her
head and hurried out of sight. The
man's attention was attracted to the
girl and he failed to note a swiftly
approaching trolley car until it
nearly ran him down; then he made
a wild leap which would have done
credit to a circus clown and landed
on the curb on his hands and knees.
A heavy two-horse team was
coming in the other direction. The
driver's attention was attracted from
his horses to the antics of the man,
and one of them slipped and went
down on its knees. A few yards be
hind the team was a trolloy road
switch, and the switchman’s atten
tion being dlvertod to the stum
bling team, he neglected to turn the
switch and allowed a car that should
have turned off there to run several
yards on the wrong track. Another
ear following ran over the switch,
others behind it were halted, and at
least four cars in all had to back to
allow the first car to take the switch.
Then, as the second car of the string
started back rather suddenly it bare
ly escaped collision with a car run
ning into the switch from a branch,
and, narrowest shave of all. came
within a hand’s breadth of running
down an elderly gentleman who was
crossing the street and who became
confused by the shouting and irregu
lar movements of the cars. And all
this the havno of a woman’s eyes.
Hla Henri In HU Stomach*
Of a certain New York olubman,
the Reoorder telle that he became
desperately enamored of a charming
country widow. She was not un
mindful of hie passion, and invited
him down to dine at her plaoe. He
was something of a gourmet, and as
she was richly endowed with the ac
cumulations of her first husband’s
trade in some patent medicines, the
suitor anticipated a delicious little
dinner which should make him ap
pear at his very best when it came
to putting the question. But when
they were at table, and she served
him only cold ham, Jelly, tea and
lemonade, Us heart fell He had
never made love after a dinner like
that, and he could not rekindle the
tame. It was no go and he gave it
up. As he was making his adieux,
the widow asked with seeming
simplicity: “My dear Mr. W-,
how does one get into New York so
ciety?” His opportunity had come.
It was a mean advantage, but he
took it as he replied: “By not serv
ing lemonade at dinner!" And he
hurried to the station.
The Hattie or the Rattlesnake.
The growth of the rattle of the
rattlesnake has been studied by a
German scientist, who finds that the
rattle is frequently shed, and, after
being shed (his snakes were kept in
a very warm room), in three or four
months two rattles were present,
their appearanoe having nothing to
do with the casting of the skin. The
snakes were made to register the vi
bration of the rattle on smoked pa
per, and it was found that the vibra
tion was a compound one, consisting
of the vibration of the tail as a
whole, and of the rattle independent
ly of the tail vibrations. The ap
proximate figures of vibrations were,
for the tall, 75; of the rattle, 110 a
second. -
The Valve of Advertising.
A wealthy man endeavored to show
That Fortune oomes to those who advertise.
A poor man said: “’Twas money thrown
away,"
And seemed the other's loglo to despise
They argued long, till each to his own view,
Unknowing, had the other one converted
The rich msu hastened to withdraw his ads,
The poor man rushed to have an ad Inserted
A year ago or more Is It, 1 trow.
Since those two men thus argued and con
versed.
One rich, one poor, they still exist to-day—

Ono Kind of Gold Bugs.
The gold bugs which were so
popular as ornaments a few years
ago were most of them manufactured.
There is a genuine gold bug, or
beetle, colored a pure bronze, but it
is found only in the tropics, and is
not plentiful even there. The gold
bug of commerce is simply the com
mon June bug dipped in shellac or
some other gum and rolled in very
fine gold dust. After the dust has
dried in the shellao, the bug, except
in weight, would pass for a piece of
genuine gold jewelry.

Hall Caine began life as an architect,

It was In the summer of 1875 when she
positively decided to write a story. Her

IRISHMAN AND JEW.
4 Business Partnership That Has Bean
Entirely Satisfactory.
There is an uptown business firm,
one of the members of which is an
irishman and the other a Jew. The
Irishman was born in Cork and the Jew
at Cracow. They have been in partner
ship for several years, during which
they have built up a flourishing busi
ness. The Irishman is beardless; the
lew has a flowing black beard. The
irishman is of the type of Rory O’More;
the Jew is of the type of Moses, says
the New York Sun. They are a mutual
admiration pair and each has a solid
•espect for the other. The Irishman is
l rare wit; the Jew is solemn as the
Talmud. The Irishman hap a fine Cork
snlan brogue; the native speech of
the Jew is the Polish Jargon, which he
mixes with his English. The Irishman
looks after the firm’s finances; the
Tew attends to the buying and selling.
The Irishman is a strict Catholic and
goes to church on Sunday; the Jew is
rigorously orthodox and goes to syna
gogue on Saturday. The Irishman is
‘pudgy,’’ the Jew is lean. They agreed
never ip talk upon religion, about which
my dbagm: tbut as the one is a bi
metallic democrat And the other a dem
ocratic monometallist, they can always
find a subject for friendly argument.
The Irishman is older than the Jew but
the Jew is taller than the Irishman.
Both the Irishman and the Jew have
large families and the children of both
attend the same school. Most of the off
spring of the Irishman are girls and
those of the Jew are boys. The favorite
tipple of the Irishman is ale and that
of the Jew is wine. The Irishman is
quick-tempered, the Jew is slow to
wrath. These two business partners,
one of them from Cork and the other
from Cracow, have carried on their es
tablishment successfully for years in
this city, have divided the profits even
ly every quarter, have never had a
quarrel that lasted more than a min
ute, and havfe made enough money to
raise them above the cares of life.
Surely they deserve to grow rich.
DIDN’T RECOGNIZE THE COW.
4b*«ut-Minded Clergyman Lifts His Hat
to a Beast.
Several good stories are told of the
absent-mindedness of some well-known
livlnes, says an exchange. Of one popu
lar clergyman ft is said that when walk
ing on the Street his mind is generally
■0 thoroughly fixed upon some subject
that he will pass by his most intimate
friends without the slightest recogni
tion. Once, when in the country, this
minister ran full into a cow, which was
calmly chewing her cud by the way
side. Without noticing the nature of
the obstruction, the absent-minded cler
gyman lifted his hat and with a bow
said: “I beg. your pardon.” Upon real
ising the ridiculousness of his error, he
made a mental resolve never to commit
a like blunder again. Somewhat further
on in his ramble, and while still ponder
ing the same weighty subject, he ap
proached a sharp turn in the road, be
yond which he could not obtain sight
of any moving object Turning the cor
ner quickly, he came face to face with a
lady and, before he could check Ms
speed, nearly knocked the woman down.
Dim recollections of the cow episode
evidently flashed through his mind, for
he said sharply: "Go away, you dirty
beast" What the lady said is not re
corded. Of another clergyman the tale
Is told that he was once riding with a
companion through the woods in Ver
mont. For a long time not a word had
been spoken, as the mind of the rev
erend gentleman seemed wrapped up
In some matter far from his surround
Ings. Suddenly a fox darted across the
road, directly in front of the horse’s
head. The clergyman did not see it,
and his companion exclaimed: “There
goes a fox!" As if nothing had been
said, the minister continued silent, still
tMnklng of the weighty subject of his
reverie. Fully half an hour elapsed be
fore he asked, quite innocently:
Patriotic, Indeed.

REVENGE lg SWEET.
And bpMlallr to the Writer Whose
“Copy” lies Been Rejected.
I was Just wondering which was the
easier way to rest my head—by press
ing my ear against the window casing,
or by hunching down into the form of
the letter "Z,” with my knees pressed
firmly into the back of an Innocent old
party from South Greece, and allowing
my hump of conjugal love to rest fond
ly on the row of brass headed tacks
along the seat back—when a young
man boarded the train at Adam’s Basin
and dropped into the place beside me.
He was a good looking young man, and
somehow I fancied him one of the sort
who dashes off little gems on one side
of the paper only, with the very best
ink and in a legible hand, and then
wonders why he is not more successful
in literature. He evidently had stopped
in the postoffice on his way to the trail!
to get "the returns," and, from the
number of bulky envelopes in his hands,
he plainly had received quite a lot. For
a long time he sat with a near-by look
in his eyes, and then he began, one by
one, to shuck the manuscripts. There
was a little printed form in every en
velope, and the count of titles didn’t
seem to fall short any. Not a solitary
manuscript had stuck. I felt sorry for
him. He sat there kind of sadlike,
when suddenly the newsboy came
through yelling: “Thi* smooth's mag’s,
here—Censhry, Hoppers, Scrlb., Cosmo,
’Tlantlc, or-” He paused beside my
literary seatmate to display his wares.
And then a transformation took place.
Shoving his hat back on his head, the
spirit of revenge flashing from his eyes,
the young writer exclaimed, in tones of
most cutting Barcasm: "Thank you for
the kind offer of the publications you
name, but regret to say that I must re
spectfully decline them. Rejection does
not necessarily indicate a lack of merit,
however, and you may be successful
elsewhere. A variety of reasons may
make it impossible for me to make use
of them at this time.” And then the
young man sank back with a smile of
triumph, and the newsboy, with a
stare, remarked, "Whach’er givin’ us?”
and passed on. He didn’t understand
It, but I did. I am an author, too.
A WOMAN'S BRAVE DEED.
Saved • little One From n Terrible
Death.
"Hl-hl!” shouted again and again a
group of excited people who had a few
minutes before been quietly sauntering
along the streets of San Diego, In Cali
fornia. The cause of the violent uproar
soon became painfully clear. A herd
of wild cattle was being driven through
the town. Now, as Is well known, the
temper of these animals Is uncertain,
and on the afternoon of which we write
the horrified bystanders had proof of
this faet. A little child was playing in
the street not far from the spot where
the oaltta were passing, when one of
the bulls—a huge creature, with large
horns—made a sudden rush at the little
one. Jo add to the terror of the scene,
the drover was tipsy, and in trying to
turn the furious animal he fell off his
horse. Then arose those warning yells
from the spectators, as they beheld the
terrible fate from which, as it seemed,
nothing could save the child.
At this very moment a lady happened
to come Into the street, and the noise of
the tumult at once attracted her atten
tion. She saw the child's appalling dan
ger at a glance, and immediately
sprang into the empty saddle. She suc
ceeded in catching up with the wild
bull, and threw her shawl over its head
Just as it was about to charge the child.
*h®n' ^thout lea zing the saddle,
lifted the child to her lap and took it
away to a place of safety. This bril
liant act of bravery awoke round after
round of hearty applause from every
witnessed it; and as one reads
of the splendid act one can almost hear
the cheering yet.
THREES BEAT THE STRAIGHT.
Bow Dan Dale was Surprised by a New
Orleans Poker Bole.
"I lost a big pot of money In a poker
game in New Orleans some years ago
that taught me a valuable lesson," said
Dan Dale of Chicago to a Washington
Post reporter recently. "It was a table
ii.? Bame and a very liberal one,
all the participants except myself hav
ing a goodly roll. I 'was in great luck,
however, and had accumulated a lofty
stack of yellow chips when disaster
befell me and pretty nearly wiped me
out. In this particular hand I drew one
card and made a straight. By some
sort of instinct that often comes to
poker players I was dead certain that
my opponent had three of a kind.
Everybc*r else had dropped out and
we begtfh raising each other until pret
ty nearly all my cash was up. Finally
I was forced to call, and sure enough
the other man displayed three aces. I
disclosed my straight, and said in a
friendly way as I proceeded to rake the
pot, ‘You play threes pretty strong
down here.'
“ ‘Tes,’ said he, ‘but not quite as hard
as you play straights.’
“He ti.en, to my utter astonishment,
began raking the chips over to his side.
Of course I made a vehement protest,
but to. no purpose. The other players
voted me down in short order, and for
the first time in my life I learned that
the New Orleans sports rated three of
a kind of superior value to a sequence.
When you are in Rome you have to
abide by the law of the Romans, and
kicking Is of no avail. Very sore I was
with _myself for not first learning the
game* as it Is played in New Orleans,
but lack of the information cost me the
biggest pot for which I ever con
tended."
High Priced Autographs.
At an autograph sale In Paris In De
cember, ilHi the signature of Christo
pher Columbns (which is, probably!
one of the most fantastic sign manu
als ever used) brought 4,000 francs, says
an exohange. The only existing piece
of manuscript in Titian's handwriting
was knocked down at 3,000 francs, and
one with Cromwell’s signature attached
brought in exactly half that sum. Al
fred Morrison, a great English collect
or of autographs, was present at t))«
sale and paid a sum equal to 4.00C
francs for the only letter written by
Corneille that has ever been on the
market. The last letter written by Na
poleon to the Empress Marie Louise
was disposed of at the same sale, bring
ing 4,000 francs, and several signature*
of Louis XIV. mid HeriSry IV. fetched

CATERPILLARS AND SNAILS.
Myriad* of Thom Stop Railroad Irate*
In Turkestan and Northern Africa.
A train in Russian Turkestan was re
cently stopped by caterpillars. Near
Klew an army of these creatures was
crossing the track, making a bee-line
for the nearest gardens, where it was
their intention to have a good time
stripping the young vegetables of their
leaves. When the train struck the mass
the wheels crushed them Into paste,
but before It had made much progress
they began to slip In the greasy stuff
and the train came to a standstill.
Another locomotive had to be sent for
to &et the cars away from the slaugh
tered Innocents. Meanwhile, it Is said
that the uninjured caterpillars stood
up by the side of the track and made
faces at the engineer. It will be remem
bered that some western trains in this
country had a similar experience with
grasshoppers during the last plague of
these insects. In Algeria they have to
keep a sharp lookout for snails, for the
same reason. Only a short time ago,
on the line from Souk to Arba-Bi*erte,
a train was detained forty minutes by
these creatures, which had come out In
myriads during a rainy period. Just
preceding, and literally covered the
track. This accident probably could
happen nowhere but in Northern Af
rica, where snails are so abundant that
they often constitute as serious a
plague as do the locusts. They climb
the trees and shrubs by thousands,
crawl out on the smallest twigs and
hang therefrom like bunches of grapes.
It is not known whether they are of the
edible variety; if so, the Algerians
should not want for delicate food dur
ing the open season.
EUGENIE’S FATHER CONFESSOR
A Wizened Little Man Who Wm Onee a
Courted Church Dignitary.
An Austrian clerical paper gives an
interesting account of a man who,
though once in the foreground of the
most brilliant court In Europe, and still
living, has entirely disappeared front
public notice. The writer saw him at
M. de Lesseps’ funeral—a pale, wizened
little man with snow-white hair and
beard. This man Is Bernard Bauer, for
a long time a bishop, father confessor
to the Empress Eugenie and a famous
preacher. He pronounced the blessing
on the Suez canal. He Is by birth a
Hebrew and a Hungarian. He took part
In the Vienna revolution, was publicly
embraced for his bravery by Kossuth,
then became a painter, and finally al
lowed Father Augustine, who was no
other than the celebrated pianist, Her
mann Cohen, to convert him to Ca
tholicism. As Father Marla Bernard he
delivered his famous sermons in Paris,
which the empress attended. He was
then particularly handBome, his pale
face framed by a dark beard, his blue
eyes full of expression. What was ad
mired more than all else was the use
he made of tda delicate, beautifully
formed hands. The woman raved of
him, and he soon addressed all his ser
mons to them alone. The empress
named him her confessor, and to please
her he was made a bishop. He became
so much the fashion that had he not de
fended himself he might have spent the
twenty-four hours in the confessional
When the republic succeeded the em
pire he gave up his priesthood, and has
since quietly enjoyed life.
A WOMAN’S STRATEGEM.
Her Clever Ruse to Get Rid of the
Bailiff! Was Successful.
A novel method of getting rid of men
In possession has been discovered by an
Impecunious lady living in the Rue
Thiers in Paris. In an unguarded mo
ment she opened the door to the men,
who had been watching their opportu
nity for some days. Finding what she
had done, she tried to frighten the men
by making a parade of legal learning.
There were*severe penalties, she said,
for taking possession without securing
the attendance of the local police com
missary. The baliffs only laughed at
this, whereupon the lady went out to
complain, as she said, to the police, and
locked them In her flat. Shortly after
wards she returned with two policemen
and said: "Arrest those men. They have
broken Into my place.” It was in vain
that the poor wretches declared that
they were honest broker's men. Possi
bly their looks were Buspiclous. At all
events the policemen, while muttering
something about "having heard that
sort of thing before,” marched them off
to the police station. Arriving there
they were soon released on production
of evidence of their Identity. The men
contemplate an action for false impris
onment, but meanwhile they have to
devise fresh means to secure an entry
to the place from which they were sc
unceremoniously ejected.
Christina Rossetti.
By the death of Christina Rossetti,
literature, and not English literature
alone, loses the one great modern poet
ess. There Is another English poetess.
Indeed, who has gained a wider fame
but the fame of Mrs. Browning, like
that of her contemporary, and, one
might almost say, companion, George
Sand, was of too immediate and tem
porary kind to last. The very feminine
very emotional work of Mrs. Browning,
which was really. In the last or final re
sult, only literature of the L. E. L. or
der carried to its furthest limits, roused
a son of womanly enthusiasm. In pre
cisely the same way as the equally femi
nine, equally emotional, work of George
Sand. In the same way, only In a lesser
degree, all the women who have wrltter
charming verse—and how many there
have been in quite recent times!—have
won, and deservedly, a certain reputa
tion as poetesses among poetesses. In
Miss Rossetti we have a poet among
poets and In Miss Rossetti alone. Con
tent to be merely a woman, wise in lim
iting herself within somewhat narrow
bounds, she possessed, in union with a
profoundly emotional anture, a power
of artistic self-restraint which no other
woman who has written in verse has
ever shown; and it Is through this mas
; tery over her own nature, this economy
of her own resources, that she takes
rank among poets rather than among
poetesses.
