"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.

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 ■ I ■ > ■/- ", - ■ 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 tltiu wieuu nuuvuwi • auib yeiiunuHliUV Is repeated over and over with the ut- ' most gravity until the meal arrives.— Philadelphia Record. Got thfl Mother Out of the W«jr, / ' In Frankfort-on-tho-Maln a young woman o( 16 fell In love with one of her neighbors, but the mother of the young man offered a stout resistance to their union. Then the young lady denounced her Intended mother-in-law for speak ing disrespectfully of Emperor William. Treading on Imperial toes Is danger ous In Germany, so the old lady was arrested, and pending her trial the young man and the young woman got married. KcTtintlnc the Axiom. The mother of the nineteenth cen tury has brought up her daughters to match some other mother's sons. The mother of the twentieth century will have to bring up her sons to match some other woman's daughters. This Is contrary to George Eliot’s oft-quoted theory that “God Almighty made the women to match the men.’* READ. THE TRIBUNE For Telegraph, Local, General, State and Foreign News.
