"Try It and tako tho consequence!" waa tho spirited response. Tho guide leaped forward with drawn sword, and tho nicrchnnt.nstahrnrtyoung man, raised bis stAII ana Uootl on tbo de fensive. After fencing for a fow seconds the Jew's staff was cut in two, but before his assailant could strike him witb tho sword ho leaped forward, caught him in his arms, and the two fell over the cliff nud dashed In 11 bleeding muss on tho rocks below. Tho second Russian sent tho Jew's bur dened mule after his master, and then stood face to face with another resolute man armed only with a stout stick. Tho Russian lost a precious second of timo in trying to draw his pistol, tor the staff whistled above his head, and uncon scious and never to be conscious again, he tumbled into the depths. Then tho Jew sent the Russian's horso after him ami camo face to face with a second man. Seeing the fnto of his companion, the third Russian leaped forward, llko an en raged animal, and caught his opponent in his. arms. Tho struggle was brief and fierce. Tho issue would have been doubt ful had not tho Cossack's horso plunged forward in its fright and dashed against the men, hurling them and itself into tin awful abyss. . Both parties were now wroucht un to a frenzy that bliuded them to all considera tions of life. The Russians wcro like bloodthirsty sav ages who find their slaves rising itgalust them in revolt. Tho Jews lost their habitual prudence and were stung to a desperate resistance by tho memory of mauy generations of outrage und rapine. In tho dense settlements tho Russians might Iki masters; hero they were man to man, with all tho advantage of arms on the side of tho transgressors. Tho fourth Jew picked up a sword that a Russian had dropped before hu went over and tlowu to death. lie was a young man, "unskilled in tho uso of such a weap on, but oven If ho had been tho wall of rock to tho left would have balked all sword play. With, tho fury of a tiger ho burled over bis opponent and sent his bono after him. Tho Jew had lost n brother and his gray haired father was behind him. With such n war cry as never burst from Jewish lips since the' Maccabees led Israel to victory, the young man swept every liv ing thing from his path till he came face to face with the lost mnn, Captain Hlatzky. Tho Russian II red his pistol straight Into the young man's face, making a serious but not a fatal wound. Certain It Is it did not stay tho IrrcsUtible onset. Tho officer's sword leaped up, but It was too late. He felt the wet blado at his tliroat, and the next instaut ho had Joined the men whom he hud so Ignomiulously led to death. The surviving inerohanu hastily made their way into Turkleu territory, where Ifcey were safe, leaving behind than a lame and 11 memory that will last as long s the mountains "The Jews' U-np." The Nature of an Oath, At n rereut trial growing out of a rail MAd strike up In the center of New York state an Irish lioy of fourteen was our of the witnesses tailed for the prosecution mid although, for reasons that will lie oh vloits, his evidence was not taken, It wn generally felt that ho was a match foretime of tho lawyers. As he was small for his ago, the judge decided to learn far himself If the Un knew tho nature of an oath; so assuming 11 manner never seen off the bench, and never necessary on It, tho Judge saldi "Daniel Ilornu, do you know the nature of an oath?" "Do you innuvswearlnf" asked tho boy "I do." "Faith I do. Share no man could le tlrlvln mules on a dump for two years and not know nil altout swearln. Would ye r honor loike to hear inof" "No, sir!" said the Judgo angrily. "Do you know why men arc brought In here and sworn on the Hiblor" "llukose they can't help thcmsel's." "Perhaps thnt: but do you know what 11 lie Isf" "Do I know what lies Isf" "Yes. Come, nnswer. Well, what are lies?" "Things that ain't thruo." "And what will happen to you if you tell a llor" "Nothln, If It ain't found out. If I was to Hu to tho boss ifbout licken a mule and ho found It out ho might gtvo mo tho grand bounce." At this Juncture tho audience laughed, tho Judgo rapped and the olllcera shoutetli "Silence in the court!" "Whnt Is your religion t" asked tho Judge when he could get his breath. "I believe I'm a Catholic," replied Dan lei Ilornu. "Aro you not.Burof" "No." "Do you ever go to mnssf" "No." "Did you never seo it prlestf" "Oh, yls." "Ever speak to onof " "No." "Did it priest over speak to your" "Yes." "Whatdldhowiyf" "Ho said, 'Come here, you little ntskll, and hotild my horse; and If you let him get nwny I'l lick binges out nv you!' " "Itemovo the witness!" shouted the judge, "Ho Is not lit to bo sworn." And Daniel lloran stepped down, with his left eye shut und his tonguo in his cheek, nutl Micro was it general feeling that tho case for tbo prosecution had not been strengthened. Not at first Sight. When Handel, tho celebrated German musician, went to Ireland to gtvo concerts, ho was much perplexed by the Illness of tho man he had brought with him to sing bass. On explaining his trouble ho was told that there was a mnn In Dublin, a printer named Gorman, who had n good voice, nn excellent knowledge of music and who was a member of St. Patrick's choir. Handel, who was a fussy little man, was much delighted at being nblo to secure Gorman, and decided to call a rehearsal at once. Tho Irish bass singer appeared In his best suit, and with an expression on bis broad face that denoted peace with the world nud perfect satisfaction with him self. Ho knew every Irish air that had ever been comnosed. and so ho had eon II denco in his own "ability to do barsto anyiuing 1110 nine uuicutnnn inigui trot out." But tho rehearsal had not been under way ten minutes when Handel's quick ear noted thnt the bass wits not only out of tuno and pitch, but thnt with character Istlo Irish independence it was singing cn tirely in its own way and without regard to tho text. Handel stood up on tiptoe und swore in five languages. At length, red In tho face, ho shouted to Gorman: "You tain rascal! Whnt for you tell me you sing at do sight?" "And so I can," said tho imperturbable boss. "Den you tnk dnt und sing ot voncol" roared Handel. "Oh," replied Gorman, as ho picked up tho score and looked over tho notes upside down, "the tllvll a wnn o' mo Iver said I could sing at first sight.

The bucks are simply gathered to tho belt, as in (' out, ami tho skirts aro usually plain, though trimming is ad missible A very striking if not elegant effect can bo obtained by having tho bnsquo part of brown cloth, with a plastron of light tan richly braided with gold braid and with rows of gilt buttons down each sido. Hussar braiding is ulso very appropriate to this stylo of garment, but it requires to be worn only by ladies of tall and commanding presence. Ono more good word for tho blouso costuino. The skirt to it being so long, it can be made to cover many short comings on a dress skirt that has seen its best days, anil it can be worn oVer a skirt of different color nnd material, therefore its utility and opularity cun bo well understood. If wo can judgo by tho sudden blazing out of tho fiair.o of fancy for Watteau plaits and Watteau bows it will not bo long before tio shepherdess stylo will provnil everywhere, but 1 am inclined to think that this is an evanescent fancy; but tho bloom and blossom seen on tho spring millinery hns its root deep in tho lovo of women for real flowers. Tho Swiss mountaineers wear artificial flowers anil call them tho "real" ones. Odd, isn't it? Flowers aro so perfect thnt it is al most impossfblo to resist tho temptation to smell them, ami tho bonnets that aro trimmed with them aro so prottyl Ono for an elderly lady was Advertlietl Far.

Charley Morris, of the Now York Stock exchange, is ono of tho coolest und most sensible wags in tho country, and a capltnl fellow withal. Recently ho was seated ut Delmonlco's down town place reading while he was awaiting his order, when it man at an adjoining tnblo, who had ordered salmon, called out to tho retiring waiter: "Hello, boy! Bring mo some anchovy sauce!" "Yes, sir," said tho waiter, and ho turned to leave. "And boy!" yelled tho man who had or uereu salmon. "Yes, sir." Tho waiter took another step and was halted by another shout; "And bring mo Harvey!" "Yes sir." "And Woostcrl" "All right" At this juncture Charley Morris walked over to tho man und said: "Beg your pardou, sir, but I sco you are advertised for." "1 mo advertised for?" stammered tho mnn. "Yes; Just read this," und Charley point cd to an advertisement which rend: "If you aro curious In fish sauces, taste ours, then shut your mouth" And tho mnn glared nud becumo dumb. Ai.niKD R.
