Saturday night at a late hour Ofllccrs Murphy and \Voir of the police force were walking through Bayliss park on their semi- occasional round-up of the town , when they heard a nolso that soerned to proceed from the fountain in the center of the parkIt sounded like the pasping and struggling of a man who was being compelled to swallow moro Missouri river water than the needs of his system demanded. The two ofllecrs were fully convinced that some man who had been tampering with vho flowing bowl had fallen into the basin , and being too drunk to rescue himself , was meet ing nn awful death. They accord ingly set heroically at work to get him out of his perilous position. The light in the park had been extinguished at midnight , DO ttiat nothing could bo seen in the water , but Murphy removed ' moved n largo portion of his clothes' and plunged bravely into the surging depths. Ho spent some time wau'.ng about the little basin , and was at last rewarded by feeling something grab his too with the oviden ) ; in tention of making a meal out of it. Ho gave a howl and throw himself on the bank. In loss than half an hour it dawned upon him that a monstrous turtle had been caught and put in the basin : i day or" two before , and it was the turtle that was making his ac quaintance in that unpleasant fashion. It was also the turtle who hadcomo to the sur face of the water ami made the remarks that Jed the policemen to inuko the search for a drowning man. The two men , and particularly Murphy , were not anxious that the oscapailo should bo generally known , but it leaked out , and any one who says ' 'turtle" today will be very to Una " " about apt a "come-along" wrapped his windpipe.

The Many-Sided Clmrnctcr of Count TunfTc , Aimtrlnii l > lilonuit. | Count TnalTc , or to give him his Irish title , Viscount Edward TaalTo of Corrcn and Baron of Ballyinotc , who , since Feb ruary , 1870 , has combined the two ap pointments of minister president and minister of the interior in Austria , is one of these rare public personages who cannot well ho brought under any ono category. Ho stands nlono in politics , as .lean Paul Richter did in literature. There are moro aspects to his life and work than there are sides and angles tea a cube. Ono of the most important of these aspects is his social talent the source of that abundant oil supply which ho keeps pouring upon the troubled sea of Austrian politics. Count TaalTo has only to open his mouth and his hearers are enchanted. lie is past master in all the little arts d'agrement , so prized in courtiers and diplomatists as serving to lubricate the wheels of the social ma chinery of the court. Ho can tell a story with a gusto which Charles Lover himself might have envied , and can invent ono with the ease of an ancient mariner. His cx- quibito sense of the ridiculous , his exuberant fancy and ready wit are as de cidedly Irlbh as his name. Many poli ticians who too him only in Parliament take him for a Iliberno-Austrian Ag- nibcn , so bland , self-possessed and serene does ho appear in the face of dillicultios that would drive any other statesman to desperation. No bettor statesman could have boon chosen to inaugurate a policy of conciliation. He possessed numerous points of con tact with all parties and had definitely broken with none. Political principles Count Taall'c condemns as a weakness , and his friends and his enemies are atone ono in declaring him free from any stain which the possession of them might bo supposed to imply. Count Taaffo in a clover , practical psychologist of the most pessimistic type , who lakes an in credibly low view of human virtue , which ho is continually tempting into crooksd ways and ho seldom discovers any ground to ques tion the correctness of his theory or doubt the inability 61 his rules. Ho never poses as a censor of morals only as an appraiser of motives. IIo affects and probably feels surprised at nothing1. As n public speaker ho is ono of the most dismal failures that over addressed nn audience , but his suasivo powers when brought to bear on a limited circle of hearers are of the miraculous kind attributed by Irishmen to Cormack Mc Carthy , the lord of the blarney stone. Soot nnd'fi Mvoril of State. The bolt of the sword of state of Scot land has boon restored to its place in the regalia of Scotland in Edinburgh castle by the Marquis of Breadalbano , the lord high commissioner to the gen eral assembly of the Church of Scotland. After the battle of Dunbar it became necessary to place the regalia of Scot land in a place of greater safety than Edinburgh castle , uintl it was removed to the strong eastlo of Dunnottar , where Sir G. Ogilvy defended it. Ko had , however - over , only forty men and could not hold out , ana ho allowed his wife to remove the regalia from the castlo. It was then buried underneath the stones in KinnolT church , where it lay for several years. When it was restored Sir G. Ogilvy , for some cause not explained , retained the sword bolt. It was discovered in 171)0 ) built into the garden wall of the house of Barras , near Stonehavon , and since then it hud been handed down from from father to son as a precious relic , An Kxperlment tn Toli'imthy. An experiment in "telepathy , " which is extremely intoronting and would fur nish a great deal of amusement at an evening entertainment , may easily bo tried by a number of persona. One of the party is blindfolded and the others form a circle around him , in which all stand with their hands joined , A card is selected from a pack and placed' where it may plainly bo seen by all but the person - son blindfolded. Ho is expected to main tain a perfectly passive state , while the attention of the others is fixed exclu sively on the card. After a time the imago of the object on the card in "sug- gobtod to the mind" and named. In ono instance where this experiment was tried the ton of diamonds was the card -selected , and the blindfolded person , being ignorant of the object decided upon , described ton real diamonds that ho saw arranged as they would bo upon the card. In blindfolding the light maybe bo entirely tmiit out from the eyes by folding kid gloves into pads to lay over them , and then binding with a handker chief. Sinn with the llund of a Oooie.

" "What gray pants ? " "Thorn gray one's that's been hanging in that closet for two months. " "Aren't they in there ? " "No , they ain't in there. Now , what liavo you done with them ? " "Wero they gray , with a. little red slripo in them ? " "You know well enough what they were. Don't stand there chewing about them any longer. What are they ? " "Gray ones "with red stripes , "mused Mrs. Blobbs. "I'm sure I don't know. Oh , yes , I do , too ; I traded them oil to a man for a lovely kettle. " "You what ? " gasnod Mr. Blobbs. "Traded them oil for a kettle. You didn't want them , did you ? " Mr. Blobbs was so mad that ho frothed at the mouth. Ho raved and shoutol around the room. Ho kojit this up f ( r ton minutes. Then ho taw that Mrs. Blobbs didn't ' care , and ho tried other tactics. "I'm sorry you sold them , " ho said , "not because I needed thorn especially , but because you did yourself an injury. " "JIow so ? " asked Mrs. Blohbs , inter estedly. "Why , I had $10 in ono of the pockets of these pants that I was going to use to get 3'ou a birthday present next week. I kept it there so I would have no oppor tunity to spend it. Now , aren't you sorry you bold the pants ? " "Oh , I don't know , " replied Mrs. Blobbs , sweetly , for she saw through the scheme immediately. "You sec , I went through the pockets and found the money. I went shopping with it yester day. " Do vou wonder that Blobbs would not cat his breakfast ? HIS GREAT SCHEME. Ho ABlccil $10O for It , hut Finally Ucilnccd IIU I'riro. A man with a rusty high hat and a shiny frock coat approached the manager - agor of an uptown hotel last night and said : "Can 1 nave a few moments of your time ? " The manager looked at him curiously and told him that ho could have a very few moments of it , says the Buffalo Ex press. "Well , " began the man with the rusty hat , "I Bupposo you have been reading about these waiter troubles in New York and Philadelphia ? " "I havo. " "Noticed that thcro has been strikes and meetings and the duce to pay all around , mostly about whiskers , have you ? " "Yes. " "Employ quite a lot of waiters your self , don't you ? " . "Yes. " "Suppose you hain't looking for any trouble , are you ? " "I don't expect any. " "But you can't tell. Now. I am around a good deal and I happen to know that there may bo a sympathetic strike up hero any day. " "Indeedr ) "Surol And what I want to say la this : I know a scheme that , if put into execution , will forever keep you from having any trouble with waiters because of their whifakors. I'll bull it to you for a hundred. " The manager laughed. "Why , " ho Baid , "you are crazy. The whiskers quoUinn hasn't reached lIufTnlo yet , but If It does I am free to bay that my waiters would wonr boards or no beards Just as I proforroil , or I would know the run * ni why , " The man with the rusty high lint caught the manager by the coat collar and said , hoarsely : "Yos , and you would find yourself in the soup at onco. There ain't nothing thnt Is so snored tea a man as his whiskers. Ho wants to wear them jus * the way ho wants to wear them , and there is always trouble whciiovoi n boss thinks his waiters should cut olV the hnlr on their faces. Now , 1 have flgj-orod out a way to prevent all that. 1 can 11 x It BO you will never bo bothered by any whiskers question with your waiters , f'll toll you how for n live-spot , as I'm hard up. " "Don't want to know. " "Glmmo a dollar ? " "Nop. " "I'll lot you In for n quarter. " The manager took a quarter out of his pocket and hnniled It over. "What's the secret ? " ho asked. The man with the rusty high hat pocketed the coin and cdgctl away , "lliro girls , " ho said , and then ho scooted for the door. NATURAL FRUIT FLOORS.
