I don't know that ho had ever suffered any misfortum on either of those days to confirm him in his fears. “My own experience has been qnitt the reverse of unlucky with regard tc them.

Thu waller accidentally jogged the elbow of the muu fating breakfast in the restaurant The morsel that he was about to con sume felt to the floor. The next moment he gave u startled cry and turned deathly pule. All wus confusion. The proprietor and the occupants of the other tables jumped up and rushed to his assistance. His fatal had assumed a bluish hue, which was quickly followed by a grten ish color und then by a purplish tinge. The case looked serious, for be was evidently apoplectic. Finally, to the relief of all, he was resuscitated. All demanded an explanation. ”1 am subject to heart disease,” he at length exclaimed, "and any severe shock is likely to kill me. It’s a won der I’m alive to tell the tale.” “What tale?” they asked eagerly. “Heavens, gentlemen!” he replied, as his cheeks blanched at the recollec tion,'‘you’ll hardly believe me, but I swear ou my oath that when the waiter knocked that piece of bread and butter out of my baud it fell to the floor with the butter side up.” The others surveyed him pityingly. “Something has affected bis brain,” they whispered one to the other. “Such a thing is unheard of. it could never have happened. ’ ’ One by one they drew away and left him alone.—New Fork World. Gained His Point.. In the days when her majesty went down to Windsor by road she liked to be driven at a rapid pace—a little too fast to please her escort, especially the officers who rode their own horses. A gallant captain, afterward a renowned M. P., was oae day in command and riding at the head of bis troop. Just in front of him, with his back to the horses of the carriage, sat the Prince of Wales, then a small child. The captain, direct ly the party started, lifted his band and shook his flst in the little prinoe's face. The prince roared with fright, and his royal mother, quite ignorant of the cause, iook nun uu oer lap tu pacny him. When tbe prinoe was quiet ami resumed bis seat, tbe captain again ebook bis fist, and this was repeated all tbe way down to Windsor. At tbe end of tbe journey tbe queen learned exactly wbat bud occurred and issued ber com mand tbut tbe officer should never com mand her escort again. This was just wbat the captain hoped would happen. —tit. James Gazette. UU rrefersnea.

Erunkly indecorous, i they invite the whole wide world tc i drink with them, to empty the britu I tiling tankard passed from hand to hand I and to r< ei home through the frosty II streets, where the wntchnmu grins at their unsteady steps, and quiet sleepers, awakened from dull dreams, echo with 11 drowsy sympathy the last swelling ca dence of their uproarious song. Whore there Is no public sentiment to defy even hacehaiiHlian riote rs and baoeha nalian verses Cease to be defiant. What admirable good temper and sincerity in Fletcher's generous importunity! Drink tislay and drown all sorrow; You ahull |,<-rhii|iH not do It tomorrow, ih-at, while you have It. use your hreeth; There is no drinking after deuth. Then let ua awlll, boy*, for our health. Who drinks well lovea the commonwealth, And hi. that will to bed go sober Fall* with the leaf, still In October. Upon this song successive changes have been snug, until now it* variations are bewildering, and to it we owe the ever popular and utterly indefensible glee roared out for generations by many a lusty tavern chorus: Bp who goes to te d and goea to tied sober Falls ns the leaves do and dlea in October, but he who go. s to 1>< d end gopm to bed mallow Lives us he ought to do and dies un b luest fellow. —Agues Kepplier in Atlantic. Molldlflcd Petroleum. Tho claim some time ago set forth by Paul d'iltmiy, a French naval offloer, of having originated a process for the successful solidification of petroleum for commercial and industrial purposes ha* been further explained by him. From this account, summarized In The Progressive Age, it appears that heavy 1 common oil has been converted by this | inventor into a solid block, as hard as mo uiuuniii ' '»ai, i;uiujj!^ aiuw!), ^ 1 v ing oil’ an intense beat and showing not the slightest sign of melting, u ton of such fuel representing its many us 80 tons of coal, and the space occupied by one ton of it being about three cublo feet, us against the large space required for the coal. At a recent gathering of experts, M. d’Humy exhibited samples of the article and experimented with them. On the table were several cakes of tbe solidified petroleum and of low grade oils of varions sizes and shapos, and in addition to the cakes there were samples of tho same fuel in dry powder and paste, the petroleum powder and paste mixed together and pressed form ing a homogeneous mass, with a great | specific gravity, hard almost os stone, and, when burning, giving off a flame 800 times its own voJumo and a heat well nigh as great os oxygen. Tests to determine the production of smoke or smell failed to indicate the emanation of either of these. Time to Call a Halt. The vital statistics clerk felt rather than heard his visitor enter the office. Be looked up from the desk and beheld a cadaverous and woebegone individual, in whose eyes was the feverish glitter of ono to whose lids sleep cometfa not "Poor commission three doors to the right," said the official glibly. “I don’t want the poor commission. I want to see yon," said the intruder, with something very like defiance in his voioe and yet with that undertone of despair that aronsod the sympathy of the clerk. “And what can I do for you?" asked the latter. "It isn’t what you can do for me, but what I can do for you," responded the visitor. "I've been trying to do alto gether too mnch, and I’ve got to have a rest. I don’t belong to no union, and I’m wiJlin to work overtime when it s necessary, but I’ll be blamed if you ain’t trottin me a heat that 'ud dis tance anybody but me. I’ve got to have shorter hours and a day off once in uwbilo, an if I don’t get ’em, I’ll quit, see?” “But my dear sir, I never saw you before. I never employed yon. Who are you, anyway?” "Me?

A Gorman newspaper asserts that about 30,000 of the inhabitants of Ber lin hear considerably better with their h-ft ear than with their right. Thia has been observed in continually increasing measure for IS years. When the cause was sought fur, it appeared that those who are thus affected are frequent users of the telephone.
