OUT OF FASHION.
9 VERYBODY HAS
■ gone out of town
II for the season,"
™ Mrs. Townsend sud
n denly remarked at
the breakfast table,
one morning. “The
Drurys left for
Lake George yester
' day, the Tennants
are to spend the
summer at Petos
Stantons have managed to rig them
selves out, and have gone on a jaunt.
One might as well be out of the world
as out of fashion."
Mr. Townsend thoughtfully helped
himself to fried potatoes, and observed
that he would have to Invest In a sum
mer hat.
"Now see here, John,” said Mrs.
Townsend, sitting bolt upright In her
chair and emphasizing her remarks
with a pudgy forefinger, “those Stan
tons haven't any more of this world’s
goods than we have, yet off they go,
with a great flourish to spend a month
at Beechslde.”
"I don’t see where you’d And a pleas
anter place than this. In which to pass
the summer,” Mr. Townsend mildly re
monstrated, “besides I’m a little short,
Just now,—there's that note to meet in
July—” ,
“Of course you can’t understand why
I want to go—being a man—” said Mrs.
Townsend, wltherlngly, “but I simply
can’t stand the airs of those Stantons.
It need not cost very mucjh—we might
go Into the country.”
“I’ll see,” said Mr. Townsend, non
committal, as usual.
The month of July went out with a
sudden rise of the thermometer, and a
general exodus of townspeople took
place.
Mrs. Townsend, after a careful pe
rusal of alluring advertisements, set
tled on “Silver Creek” as the place most
likely to meet her expectations.
"Best of table board at moderate
rates; fine Ashing, boating and bathing;
free transportation to and from trains.”
Mr. Townsend agreed to “run down”
for Sundays, and Mrs. T., with dire
misgivings, handed her keys over to
the “help” that had promised to keep
the domestic machinery going until her
return.
cnm-eiy sanguine, yet nupmui,
Withal, Mrs. Townsend pocketed her
baggage check and stepped aboard the
train that was to bear her to her desti
nation. After a long Journey, with the
usual miseries attendant upon a trip
with the thermometer at 90 degrees, she
found herself "Sidetracked in a wheat
field”—to use her own expression—an
object of great interest to a tow-headed
youth and a raw-boned cart horse.
"Will you tell me how I can get to
Mr. Tucker’s house?” she ventured to
inquire of the former.
“Reckon I kin, if yeou be the Mis’
Townsen’ what’s coming t’ board,” hjjf
rejoined. This being confirmed, ty
brought the rawboned nag alongside
the platform, shifted the various bags
and bundles with which the wagon was
heaped to make room for Mrs. Town
send’s smart trunk, and cordially in
vited that lady to “jump aboard.”
“Square Tucker couldn’t came his
self, 'cause they’re makin’ a new hog
pen t’day,” he explained, as he cracked
the whip over the nag's lean flanks. The
wheels of the /umbering vehicle, turn
ing clumsily in the deep sand of the
road, sent up suffocating clouds of dust;
the sun beat pitilessly upon their un
protected heads.
"How far is it to Square Tucker’s?”
inquired Mrs. Townsend.
"Oh, a matter o’ six miles,” he of the
tow-head responded, cheerfully.
Mrs. Townsend's heart fainted within
her.
At a turn of the road the wagon
rumbled over a rustic bridge, beneath
which a shallow stream meandered,
scarcely wetting the sun-dried stones.
“That thar’s Silver Creek,” said the
boy, pointing with his whip over his
shoulder. “T’other bend ain’t mor’n
half a mile from Squire's.”
“Pishing and boating made easy,”
murmured Mrs. Townsend, with grim
humor. "No danger of drowning there.”
"Flshin’ did you say, Marm? There’s
plenty o’ fish to be got eout o’ that thar
creek in th’ spring o’ th’ year. Wouldn’t
think it, would yeou?”
"THET’RE MAKIN’ A NEW HOO
PEN T’DAY.”
“But why should Mr. Tucker adver
tise fishing when the season Is over?"
queried Mrs. Townsend. "Oh, that thar
advertisement. Mam, was one th’
Squire copied out’n an old noospaper.
I hcarn him say as how It read purty
well, an’ he thought t’would do.”
Mrs. Townsend, tired, hungry and
dust-laden as she was, gave vent to
hysterical mirth, but managed to re
strain herself as with a lusty “Whoa!"
the young Jehu brought the turnout to
a standstill, before the farm house.
The change from the glaring sunlight
to the comparative coolness of the farm
house sitting room was most welcome,
and the kindly greeting of the Squire
and his good wife left nothing to be de
sired.
But used as she was to a well ap
pointed, modern dwelling the sparsely
furnished rooms seemed to Mrs. Town
send uncomfortable and cheerless.
At the tea table Mrs. Townsend was
Informed that "t'other lady boarder had
a headache,” and would not be down
that evening.
They met at breakfast, however, and
when Mrs. Russel—which was the other
boarder’s name—had showed Mrs.
Townsend a brand new crochet stitch
they became fast friends. Even cro
cheting will pall on one, however, and
having neglected to lay In a supply of
reading matter, the two ladles yawned
ithe afternoon away,
“■you’ve no doubt heard the expres
i, ‘ i
wV . ;y.• v.*•> **A±,ass1a*
•Ion 'ten miles from • lemon,'" Mid Mrs.
Russel as they sat on the front, "stoop”
the radiance of the moonlight all about
them, the murderous hum of blood
thirsty mosquitoes filling the air. "In
my case It Is 'ten miles from a soda
fountain.’ What wouldn’t I give for an
Ice cold draught this minute.”
"I wonder why all farm houses have
Brussels carpet and hair cloth furni
ture In the parlor?" queried Mrs. Town
send, Irrelevantly.
“And green paper shades,” Mrs. Rus
sel supplemented.
"Do you think they’ll have salt pork
for breakfast again?” Mrs. T. ‘asked,
anxiously.
“Sure to. I’ve been here two weeks,
and they've only skipped two morn
ings.”
It was even so; salt pork seemed to
be a staple article at Squire Tucker’s,
and as for berries, fresh vegetables,
etc., they were only to be obtained at
“the Corners” and were frequently the
reverse of fresh.
“Why don’t you have a garden?"
asked Mrs. Townsend. "I thought all
farmers raised small fruits and vege
tables.”
“Well, I ain’t much of a hand to put
ter with a garden,” the Squire made re
ply. There ain’t a farm nigh that yields
better crops of grain th'n mine,
though,” he proudly added.
Mrs. T. thought regretfully of the
appetizing salads she was wont to pre
pare for luncheon.
At the end of the week Mrs. Russel
received a summons home, and after
tossing sleeplessly through a hot mos
quito haunted night, Mrs. Townsend
came to the conclusion that there were
other things as desirable as “being In
fashion.”
So the raw-boned nag hauled two
trunks to the station In the morning,
Instead of one.
“ ‘There’s no place like home,’ ’’ said
Mrs. Townsend to Mrs. Russel. “It
must be true that ‘familiarity breeds
contempt,’ else people would realize the
truth of that saying and And rest and
recreation In their own homes. How I
shall enjoy a good book and my ham
mock on the vine-shaded veranda, after
my morning work Is done. How I shall
appreciate a stroll In the park with hus
band In the cool of the evening, when
the band Is playing.”
“Me too,” said Mrs. Russel, enthu
siastically, If not grammatically.
REWARDED BY ROTHSCHILD.
“Ha That Glveth to tha Poor Lendeth
to the Lord.”
Dining on one occasion with Baron
James de Rothschild, Eugene Dela
croix, the famous French painter, kept
his eyes turned upon his host In so
marked a manner that, when the com
pany rose to leave the dining-room,
Baron James could not help asking his
guest what It was that so attracted his
attention. The painter confessed that
for some time past he had vainly sought
a head to serve as a model for that of
a beggar he Intended to hold a promi
nent position In a painting on which he
was then engaged, and that, as he
gazed at his host's features, the Idea
suddenly struck him that the very head
he desired was before him. With this
explanation he ventured to ask the
baron whether he would do him the
favor to sit for him as the beggar.
Rothschild, being a great admirer of art
In all its forms, and pleased to be con
sidered one of its chief patrons, readily
consented to assume a character never
before undertaken by a millionaire. The
next day found him at the painter’s
studio. Delacroix placed a tunic round
his shoulders, put a stout staff In his
hand, and made him pose as if he were
resting on the steps of an ancient
Roman family. In this attitude he was
discovered by one of the artist’s fa
vorite pupils, who alone had free access
to the studio at all times. Naturally
concluding that the model had only
Just been brought In from some church
porch, and never dreaming the charac
ter assumed by him was far from the
true one, he seized an opportunity when
his master’s eyes were turned to slip a
piece of money Into the beggar’s hand.
Baron Rothsclld thanked him with a
look, and kept the money. The pupil
soon quitted the studio. In answer
to Inquiries made, Delacroix told the
baron that this young man possessed
talent, but no means; that he had, In
fact, to earn hls livelihood by giving
lessons In painting and drawing.
Shortly after, the young fellow received
a letter stating that charity bears In
terest, and that the accumulated inter
est on the amount that he had so gen
erously given to one whom he supposed
to be a beggar was represented by the
sum of 10,000 franc, which was lying at
hls disposal at the Rothschild offices.
Fatting Carried to Extremes.
The people of Servla are forever fast
ing. The most severe fast Is that of
Lent, which lasts seven whole weeks.
Then, on the 30th of June, Is the fast
of St. Peter,. which lasts two weeks,
and is observed by some persons for
four weeks. From the 1st to the 15th
of August, the fast of St. Mary, and
Christmas is preceded by a forty days'
fast. Apart from these lengthy fasts
every Friday and every Wednesday
throughout the year is held to be a fast
day. Fasting in Servia is no mere
change of diet; it means real abstinence
and privation. At PIrot this fasting
has assumed such serious proportions
as to constitute a grave medical problem
and a national danger, for it affects
seriously the health of the population,
the strength and fighting capabilities
of the soldiers. The medical men reck
oned that, on the whole, half the days
in the year were fast days. This means
that for some six months in the year
the population of Pirot and neighbor
hood is only fed bread, raw onions, and
raw vegetables. No cooking is done;
not a morsel of meat is allowed.
Cheap Sewing Machines.
Sewing machines are so cheap that a
woman can cover herself from head to
foot with frills and flounces and other
fripperies at a cost not greater than
that which was formerly required to j
make one plain gown.
The Bank Tax.
In the Danish budget a curious tax,
entitled the "rank tax,” is calculated to
produce £3,261. Social rank is highly
prized in Denmark, and everyone of
any consideration has his clearly de
fined position In the Bocial hierarchy.
Condition, circumstance, ia not the
thing:
Bliss Is the same in subject or in king.

Broadway Moral to Wonder by Bio
Prayer or an Italian Otari.
The girl looked to be about 16 years
old. She and the elderly man, evident*
ly her father, who walked beside her,
were two typical immigrants from
Italy. They had apparently Just landed
at the Battery, and were walking up
Broadway, says New York Sun. The
man carried a big plaid carpet bag
under each arm, while the girl had an
old-fashioned cloth satchel. She wore
no hat, and her coal black hair hung
in braids down her back. She was
prettier than the average of her race.
She and her father, though finding their
luggage very heavy, kept looking at the
tall buildings on each side of the way
in open-eyed wonderment. Every once
in a while the girl would utter an ex
clamation to her father, who would
shake his head approvingly.
They were walking on the west side
of Broadway and had got as far as
Trinity place. The girl looked at the
tombstones in Trinity churchyard
through the high Iron railing for a
moment and then started on again.
She looked at the church as she neared
It. When she got In front of the edi
fice, she saw the magnificent brass
doors. Then It was that she seemed to
think it was the shrine of a saint. She
called to the elderly man, who Immedi
ately removed his hat. The girl dropped
upon her knees and crossed herself.
She began to pray so earnestly that she
did not notice the crowd that waB
rapidly forming around her. A big
policeman did though, and he elbowed
his way through. He looked at the glrlj
and hesitated. Then he braced up and
placed his hand on her shoulder. The
girl looked up in a surprised, fright
ened way, first at the big, uniformed
policeman and then at the crowd. Her
face became a very deep red. She hur
riedly rose to her feet, grasped the
elderly man’s hand, and walked quick
ly away through the opening which the
crowd unconsciously made.
“I had to do It,” said the policeman
apologetically to the crowd. "If I didn’t
there would be a complaint against me
about letting a crowd collect. I felt
sorry for the girl, of course, but it’s a
very common thing for Italian immi
grants to mistake those doors on
Trinity for the shrine of some great
saint.”
A SWELL TOAD,
That Faffl Himself Dp to an Abnormal
Nn
The wonder of the genua batrachla
and the greatest natural history oddity
to be found along the Atlantic coast of
the United States Is the swelling toad,
a semiaquatlc creature known to natu
ralists as bufomachalatus. It Is oc
casionally met with from New York
City to Jacksonville, Fla., but is most
common along the coasts of Virginia,
Maryland and North Carolina. When
In its natural state the "swell toad" la
about the size of a large bullfrog, but
looks more like a fish than It does like
either a frog or a toad. He la about
six Inches In length and has the curious
faculty of being able to swell to the
size of a Yale football, in which state
his legs, tall and head are scarcely
visible. Irritation appears to be the
chief factor in causing these. curious
creatures to inhale air until they swell
almost to bursting. The bellies of both
the males and females are nearly pure
white and are covered with spines,
which give that portion of the anatomy
the appearance of a ripened “jlmpson"
burr. Persons who understand the
“sweil toad" and know what an irrita
ble rascal he Is catch him and rub the
spines on his belly until he swells up
until he is utterly helpless. Another
curious point about the creature Is that
as long as he Is kept on his back he is
unable to expel the air so as to reduce
the swelling.
She Hade Worth Famous.
It is not generally known that Worth
owed his first introduction to Empress
Eugenie to Mme. Octave Feuillet, then
as now one of the most charming wom
en in Paris. Feuillet, then at the
beginning of his great career, had Just
won the heart of the empress by writ
ing for her private theatricals “Le
Portraits de la Marquise,” in which his
royal patron took the principal part,
hut which was so cleverly constructed
that none of the other characters were
allowed the slightest liberties with the
person of the empress. Soon after this
Mme. Feuillet dined at the Tullerles,
and Eugenie complimented her upon
her gown and asked the name of her
dressmaker. “Your majesty, it is a
man—an Englishman. His -name is
Worth, and he has only been in Paris
a little while," replied Mme. Feuillet.
“He knows how to design a woman’s
dress,” said the empress critically.
“You must send him here.” So the lilac
dress of the playwright's wife made the
fortune of Worth.
Iak« That Flooded Johnstown.
A forlorn and dreary spot is the site
of the South Fork dam. It was the
bursting of this great dam that flooded
Johnstown in May, 1889, killing about
3,500 people .This Conemaugh lake, as
it was sometimes called, was fourteen
miles above Johnstown. Upon its 1
shores stand twenty-five cottages, most
ly owned by wealthy residents of West
ern Pennsylvania. After the lake had
gone and the water accomplished its
destructive work the place was de
serted and has only been visited by
sightseers, eager to gaze upon the trap
that caused a calamity known .to the
world.
Revetted the Order.
One great feature of the plan of the
French invasion of Madagascar was to
take the troops on steam rafts to Su
berblevllle, but complaint is made that
instead of the rafts carrying the troops
the troops had to carry the rafts. . f

BEFORE A SCHOOL JUSTICE.
W* Bribe Didn't Work and Hor Con
fusion Vm a Failure.
Something dreadful had happnnd at
the QueenvlUn district school. May
Greene, the belle of the village, had
smuggled her Sunday sash out of the
bureau, and “unbeknownst to her
mother" had worn It to school. Her
triumph, however, wnB shortlived. She
had hung the. sash most carefully on a
hook in the cloak room while she ran
out, at recess, for a good romp. On her
return she was dismayed to find that It
had been cut in two pieces. Every
scholar was carefully questioned, but
no one, of oourse, knew anything about
it. The teacher accordingly annouuced
that when the afternoon session should
open she would lay all lessons aside
and hold a court of investigation. She
herself would be the judge. May
Greene should be the plaintiff, and
every scholar in turn should come up
into a witness box, rigged up for the oc
casion, and tell exactly what he knew
about the matter. She also said that If
any one would confess his wrongdoing
before the opening of court he would
be pardoned and all proceedings
stopped.
Two guilty boys, discarded beaux of
the gay coquette, were now pale with
dismay. They had told untruths when
privately questioned, and now they
feared that they would not be able to
brave them out before the awful court
ordeal—especially since it had begun
to be whispered around that they
knew more of the matter than had at
first appeared. They, therefore lilt
upon the following' expedient. The
youngest child in the school, little An
nie Cork, was the pet of the county. If
she now could only be Induced to con
fess to the cutting of the sash, surely
she would be pardoned on account of
her popularity. She was therefore be
set by the guilty youngsters, who, by
dint of dire threats and large bribes,
and by urging confession upon her as
a duty, finally secured her bewildered
consent “to confess.”
when the afternoon bel lrang the
scholars came In promptly, looking
askance at the awful witness-box and
at the mutilated finery floating out
from the teacher's desk. The Judge was
about to open court when in came the
criminals triumphantly leading the In
nocent child between them. They In
formed the judge that Annie Cork had
come to confess, and officiously placing
her in the witness-box, they withdrew
to their seats. The child's helpless at
titude was too much for the tender
hearted judge, who took her by the
hand and said gently: “Well, dear,
have you really come to confess?”
"Yeth,” she faltered, oppressed by
the earnest stillness In the room; but,
gaining courage from the judge’s kind
ly manner, “Yeth, teacher—I’th come
to conteth—I’th come to confeth that I
didn't do It.”—Philadelphia Times.
WAR OF ROSE6,
The Perfume Drove the Factor from
the Pulpit.
A young clergyman from Boston
preached in a little Jersey town on last
Sunday. Everything was made as fes
tive as possible for the visitor. The
members of the congregation turned
out in their best clothes, and the
church was elaborately decorated with
flowers, the pulpit being a mass of
June roses.
But in spite of all these efforts, when
the visiting clergyman entered the
pulpit he looked about him with dis
may. Almost Instantaneously he gave
vent to a series of emphatic sneezes.
Then stepped down from the pulpit
and, beckoning to a neighboring elder,
whlsperingly confessed that he could
not proceed with the services unless
the roses were removed. “I have rose
cold,” he added, by way of explanation.
There was nothing for It but to divest
the church of all its floral trimmings,
after which the minister re-entered the
pulpit and the services proceeded.—Ex.

Aa Ape’* Superstition*
Chief Utan, the auburn-haired orang
outang at the zoo, is very supersti
tious and his convictions with regard
to straws are not limited to the mere
fact that they tell how the wind blows.
The chief believes that chewing a straw
with certain supernatural qualities will
bring his dinner hour around before 1
o'clock, the regular time, and he daily
tries to put this theory into practice.
From the among the heaps of straw in
his cage he selects with great care the
longest and stralghtest, and, after hav
ing placed it in his mouth, be goes to
the glasL front of the cage, and, shad
ing his eyes with his hand, peers to the
right and left in search of the keeper
with his dinner. If the keeper is not in
sight the chief throws the straw away '
as not possessing sufficient “charm" j
