The nui , nate , who had probably
had ; an in : Tor lunate experience with
tloJ market that morning , was out
of UnijMLT and answered curtl3' :
" \Yiat ! do .you ask me for ? I'm

Sleekier looked down at him for
a moment and then said sorrow
fully :
"I wish 1 had that match back

A Name Full of Meaning.
Dr. S. Weir Mitchell is as quick
with his * poken as the written word ,
says the ' timore Herald. . A gath
ering of I'.iiladelphia business men
eiw
was di cu in the general failure
in the asphalt trust , owing princi
pally ; to Castro's ( of Venezuela )
bad habit ? .
The public was thoroughly shy of
investing further funds in asphalt
irc
companiesand the leaders of the en
terprise were having great difficulty
irn securing the money necessary to
rehabilitate the concern. They were
lamenting the shyness of investors
irii a-phalt companies , when Dr.
Mitchell said :
"It is the word 'asphalt' that
frightens them oil ! before the mat-
ter can be explained. ' Why don't
tcy drop the 'asphalt' from the
companies and use some equivalent
of les evil so.ud to those who have
been < bit in the last failure ? Why
not call it the
Bit-you-mcn com
pany ? " But , as afterward developed ,
the idea failed to go with the board
of directors.

Spoiled P sry's Scene. nt
Frank MKee tells this storv of t
*
an ] incident that happened while-
Mary ] Mannering was playing Ca-
inille in the west. During the in
tense scene where she was engaged
one of thoc pauses which make
for dramatic effort an impatient boy
the galler } ' , hoping to accelerate
the action of the play , bawled at the
top of his lunfs :
"Get up. Mary ; get up ! " at the
Game time imitating with his lips
the chirrup used to stimulate a y
hore . ? ? speed.
Needless to relate the scene was
' T

spoiled. ]

a Sculptor.
V lea Macmonnlcs , the American
sculptor , wan a young man working In
Paris , Falgtsiert ? , the ruinous French
sculptor , on 0112 occasion entered his
atelier and for.nd there a beautiful
Diana that bud been for months "on
the stocks" and was approaching a
perfection measurably satisfactory to
the sculptor himself.
Falguiere became so absorbed In the
work before him as to forget that It
was not his own. He began to twist
and pull the dainty limbs of Diana this
way and that , to punch her in the ribs ,
turn her queenly head for she was
*
then only in clay , of course , and sus
ceptible to impressions until at last
he had produced the very pose he de
sired. "There , my friend ; I like her
better so , " he cried and skipped out of
the studio.
He had really Intended to do Mac-
monnies a favor and had indeed paid
him the greatest compliment ofwhich
he was capable , but the young sculp
tor was in distress , for on comparing
the remodeled Dianavith a photo
graph of Falguiere's statue of the
same character he found the French
man had unconsciously made a prac
tical replica of the other. Macmon-
nies did not rest until he had restored
his statue to its original pose.
A Literary Kleptomaniac.
Among French writers no one car
ried the profession of the literary brig
and to such an extent as Mine , de Gen-
lis. In 1S30 her evil ways brought her
into the courts of law under very dis
creditable circumstances. Bout , the
publisher of a series of manuals , en
gaged her for the sum of 10 to write
a "Manuel Encyclopedique de 1'En-
fance. " The manuscript , which had
been paid for. was on the point of be
ing printed when It was discovered to
be an exact copy of a book of the same
kind published in 1820 by M. Dasscha.
I do not find it easy to understand the
audacity of a writer who would perpe
trate a fraud of such enormity or the
Imbecility which wojjld suppose that
it would not easily be'detected.
Another time she contributed to a
Paris newspaper a feuilleton which
turned out to be a close reproduction
of a romance printed some twenty
years before. Surely the poor woman
suffered from literary kleptomania.
Gentleman's Magazine.
Reason and Instinct.
A certain north country miner was
particularly proud of n clever little
dog be possessed. At times bevas apt
to claim a little too much for his pet ,
and one morning a neighbor was en
deavoring to point out the difference
between instinct and reason when an
amusing interruption occurred.
A seedy looking tramp turned the
corner , and the dog , without so much
as a word from his master , sprang into
the road and offered battle.
"There you are , " laughed the miner
as the dog snapped and snarled roundy
the heels of the tramp ; " 'e don't like
the look of the chap. That's instinct. "
Suddenly the tramp turned and kick
ed the dog into an adjacent field.
"There you are , " ejaculated the min
er's friend grimly. "The chap don't
like the look of the dog. An' that's
reason. " London Tit-Bits.
Practice mid Preaching : .
When the late Kishop Ilare was pre
siding over a Methodist Episcopal
church in New York city , a large r < > -
ception was given in his honor , to
which a brother of his , a lawyer , who
closely resembled the bishop , was in
vited.
During the evening a member of the ,
conference who had never met the
bishop's brother approached him ar.il.
shaking him warmly by the hand , s ; . ;
"Good evening , Bishop Hare. I
greatly enjoyed the sermon you ? v
us today. It is just what this chr
needs. " I
"You are mistaken in the per.-
said the brother , smiling , as he pol. . . . ;
to the bishop on the opposite sidf o ,
the room , "that is the man who preach
es ; I practice. "
His Quaint
A Frenchman , who appears to have
been of a thrifty turn of mind , con
ceived the idea in 1S7S that too much
valuable time was being wasted in
cleaning sardines when preparing them
for the market. He found a way of
preparing them without cleaning them ,
and on this he took out letters patent.
Apparently he had sonnj slight misgiv
ing as to whether the public would be
perfectly suited with his invention ,
and so in his claim he makes this Ij
parenthetical entry :
Fish put up by this process may be
slightly unpleasant to the customer at
first , but he soon gets used to it.
