It is rattier remark-able that so many
men identified with the earlj- history of
this continent should have living de
scendants. JIany of us remember th
ladj' who visited New York some yeara
ago who claimed descent from Americus
Vespucins, and had a conviction on her
mind that the Congress of the United
States ought to bestow some kind of
pecuniary recognition on the name.
Congress was not in a pensioning frame
of mind and she returned home no richer
than she came.
Her visit, however, led to a close in
vestigation of the career of her ances
tor, which resulted in the discovery that
the word America originated in a name
(riven by tlie natives to a portion of tho
coast which he visited. Nevertheless
the lady is believed to have been lineally
descended from Americus Vespucius, or
rather the person whose name was Lat
fnized irJo that form. Chicago Times.
The Piiffe of the Czar.
Little Kapioff had made a bet with his
fellow p:ges that he would pull the Em
peror Pa nl's pigtail (which was held in
respect by the highest persons in the
realm) like an ordinary bell rope at the
next court banquet. Accordingly, when
the czar took his seat at thetable, sur
rounded by the members of the imperial
family ami the dignitaries of state, Kap
iofl toot hold of the queue and gave it a
jerk nr, if he were pulling a bell. The
emptror uttered a cry of pain and turned
round in a desperate rage. Everybody
trembled; only the little page stood there
cool aiid impassive.
"Who did that?" inquired his majesty
in a passionate tone.
"I did." said the youth; "that queue
is always awry; I put it straight down
the middle."
"Why, you scamp, couldn't you do it
without pulling so hard?" and there the
matter ended. Le Petit iloniteur.
How Flies Multiply.
From where do all the flies come? The
question is often asked, and seldom re
ceives so sat isf actorj- an answer as has
beer, given by a contemporary. The
cocmon fly lays more than a hundreo
egg, and the time from egg laying tc
maturity is about two weeks. Most of
lis have studied geometrical progression.
Hee we see it illustrated. Suppose one
fly commences "to multiply and re
plenish the earth" about June 1. June
15- if they all lived, would give 150. Sup
Ikj je seventy-Sve of these are females.
July 1 would give us, supposing no cruel
wasp or other untoward circumstance tc
interfere, 1 1,250. Suppose 5.025 of thest
are females, we might have July 15

A grim relic of the Maxwell murder,
preserved at the Four Courts in St. Louis,
is the dilapidated trunk in which the
murderer stored the remains of his mur
dered friend Preller. The interior of the
trunk is covered with bloodstains.
The first gnn made for the Confeder

made it at Holly Springs, Miss., in 1SS1.
It originally had a rifled barrel, and is

The royal standard of Persia, it is said,
is an apron. Stout old Oao, the Persian

California in 1S55, was living.
' She found a home, however, wit'i.

whose name was Allison, subsequently

A STJtANGE MEETING.
"At Meadvillo, Pa., the next morning
nfter leaving St. Louis, mv aunt kent
her berth. While she was making her
toilet the porter had made up the sec-'
tion. When she returned and sat down
a sprightly but elderly man sat down in
the other seat of her section and said:
" 'Excuse me, madam, but I'll just
'irop down here while tho porter fixes up
things in my section. I'm only going U
the next station anyway.'
"My aunt opened her mouth to rep:y,
but she didn't speak. She simply fast
ened her eyes on the old man okycsite.
lie was tall and bright eyed, with sil
ver gray mustache and goatee, the mttei
long and pointed- He wore a wide
brimmed felt hat. My aunt's manner
seemed to nettle him, and he exclaimed,
rising: "
" 'If I annoy you, madam, I will go to
BGfne other seat.'
"My aunt managed tc loosen he:
tongue then, and putting out her hand
begged him to be seated. He sat down
again, and my aunt looked out of the
window, or at least she says she tried
to, but she felt herself drawn irresistibly
to look covertl' at the gray bearded
stranger. When the porter had arranged
the stranger's section, and he arose and
went to it, my aunt's eye followed him.
She tried to speak to him as he went
from her seat, but she didn't seem to be
able to get out the words she wanted to
say.
The next station was Union City. It
was only half an hour's ride from Mead
ville, and as the train drew nearer to it
my aunt says she could hardly breathe,
her heart beat so, and she felt as if she
must speak to the old man or die. But
somehow she could not. At last the
train whistled for Union City. The gray
bearded man took his valise and pre
pared to leave his seat. The train be
gan to slow up. The old man walked
toward the front end of the car. He was
passing my aunt's section.
THE RECOGNITION.
""She pressed one hand on her thumping
fcitrt and, almost choking, she touched
tiie stranger's arm and g;isped:
" 'Sir, isn't j'our name Allison?' '
"The man looked surprised and said,
'Why, yes; my name's Allison.'
" 'Charles Jasper Allison?'
" 'Yes,' said the stranger, looking stiV,
more surprised.
" 'Didn't your sister Carrie used o

During an interview with a reporter

"Paris still leads the world of
fashion although Eugenie no

gowns have a style about them that

been engaged to come to America

wonderful creations of the dress

our business to design the hand
somest and most fashionable gey wns

These designs will be printed in
colors and will be accompanied by
such clear instructions as to the se
lection of materials and the cutting
and fittinir of the garments that no
woman of sense will have the least
difficulty in making perfect fitting
gowns herself. It is a knack,
science, to fashion a gown that -will
make a very small and very fleshy
lady appear slim. Not one designer
in a thousand can hit upon the true
lines unless he makes it the study
of a lifetime. You ought to see the
May number of our magazine. We
have designs in it that will take the
hearts of the ladies by storm, lliey
do not get a new dress made up
ever)' day, and I can tell you is is
an important item to get the best

most exquisite Paris styles, and
have it fashioned like the one that
