| pPrefessor Lowell's Dante Examination. Professor Lowell still had a few courses in Spanish and Italian. I re- member going up to his house in June, 1876, to be examined in Dante. I was a candidate for the degree of Ph. D., be-

ing one of the earliest applicants for that degree. My course of study for three years had been in English, Ger- man sud Italian literature. As it hap-

pened, I was very well up in the ‘‘In- ferno’’ and the ‘‘Purgatorio,’’ but I was a little weak on the ‘‘Paradiso,’’ espe- cially the later cantos. I took counsel with myself and made up my mind that I would not be caught napping in case treachery should be practiced on me. Consequently, the night before I made myself thoroughly familiar with canto 33, the last canto. In the presence of two men like Professor Lowell and Professor Child, who was to sit with him ix judgment on me, I naturally felt a little nervous, but my opinion of my own talents rose considerably when Professor Lowell in an offhand manner told me to begin at the last canto.— Judge Robert Grant in Scribner’s.

Skirt Trimming.

Many of the models for summer gowns, says a New York fashion writer, have flat bands of velvet sewed on the skirt or lace insertions set in about four inches apart, some of these showing a color contrasting with that of the dress get beneath each row of insertion. Tipy ruches of silk outline the skirt seams, and wider ruches trim the extreme edge of the skirt, «dorm the sleeves and finish the diminutive shoulder cape, and on other gowns accordion plaited frills rip- ple all over the dress from the neck of the bodice to the bottom of the skirt. The sleeve tops are a mass of the plait- ings and the little Marie Antoinette fichu or French pelerine is edged with single, double or triple rows of the frills.

The word despot originally meant master or lord. At a later period it be- came ap honorary title, bestowed by the Greek emperors on certain govern- ors of provinces. Now the word con- veys the idea of tyranny, though, strict- ly speaking, it merely meaus an abso- lute ruler. ;

STRONGER THAN TT LOOKED. The Pull of a Mustard Plaster Is Not In the Thickness of It.

Wilkins complained of not feeling very well. His landlady asked for the symp- toms.

‘‘Oh,”’ she returned, “put on a mtstard plasterand yeu’ll be all right in the morn- ing.’’

He took her advice. He went into a near Dy drug store and asked for a mus- tard plaster.

The clerk took one out and began to wrap it up.

‘*Say, that’s sandpaper. tard plaster !’’

The clerk explained that it was a mus- tard plaster; that the old plaster of the mince pie pattern had gone out of style.

‘This is just as good?’’ queried the doubter. ‘‘It’s hot all right, I suppose?’’

‘Don’t worry about that,’’ smiled the clerk meaningly ringing up 5 cents in the cash register.

Wilkins was sleepy when he got home. He was sleepier than ever when he had crawled into bed with the clammy plaster on him and a big towel backinz it up close against the cuticle. He dozed perceptibly bs the plaster warmed up.

“I'll go to sleep,’’ he thought. gets too hot, I’ll wake up.”’

**Yes, I’ ll—wake up—if gets too hot’’—

Mr. Wilkins was snoring, and a clock away down the hall was striking 10.

It was 4:30 o’clock in the morning when Wilkins began to feel the return of con- sciousness.

It was mixed and confused witha dream in which he had seen a miner standing over him with a pick and felt that a great hole was being dug through his ribs.

Wilkins snorted, turned over and writhed with a grimace. Then he pulled the cloth- ing far from him, sat upand said, ‘‘Ugh!”

At 7 a’clock he was in the drug store again. He was bending over to keep his clothing from touching him.

The right clerk wa; still in charge, and he grinned broadiy.

‘‘Let me see the place,’’ he suggested even before Wilkins spoke.

There was a brilliant parallelogram, 4 by 7 inches, just under the third button of Wilkins’ vest, and ss the air touched {¢ Wilkins wincad.

‘*Blister! Say, Ican standit. Tell me the truth. How deep is that hole?’’ ‘‘Nonsense. Go out and gesta big, soft

linen handkerchief and I’ll fix you up.’’

Wilkins paid 35 cents for the handker- chief and 25 cents for a cool, mussy paste, which the clerk smeared on one side of it.

‘‘Now, if you let your flannel next to that you may pull the hide off with it,’’ warned the clerk in parting.

And Wilkins walks down these morn- ings to keep the elbows of wabbly street car passenge. : out of his ribs.

‘*Feels as if I was all boarded up on one side,’’ he confides to his friends.

Incidentally he says that a raustard plas- ter isn’t such a cheap remedy after all.— Chicago Record.

The Dangers From Escaping Gas.

So many people suffer from headaches, extreme lassitude and disinclination to make any mental effort, a condition which amcunts to positive inertness, that med- ical men have been investigating the whr and wherefore of this state of thingsin or- der, if possible, to find a reason, and, fol- lowing that, a remedy for this annoying and discouraging condition. Among other facts brought to light, it appears that many headaches and much discomfort are traceable largeiy to the poi- sonous effects of gas of various sorts. Ordinary illuminating gas has, as is well known, the properties that produce asphyxiation, and even though the vic- tims may survive the accident of inhaling alarge amount of gas, the headache, nausea and prostration following such an experience are distressing jn the extreme. It is often the case that people who live in houses lighted by gas suffer serious conse- quences without being aware of it. They do not inhale enough to attract their at- tention, but the poisonous vapor slowly but surely undermines their health and produces headaches, congestion and a long train of unsuspected evils. Especially is this the case where what is known as water gas is used. This gasis made by heating hard coal to a white heat, then passing steam over it. The carbon decom- poses the steam, and then, uniting with the oxygen, formsa gas known as carbonic oxide, which is deadiy in the extreme. The immediate cause of death from car- bonic oxide is that it destroys the red bleod corpuscles in the animal body. These red corpuscles convey oxygen to every portion of the system. The carbonic oxide destroys the oxygen, and in conse- quence there is a sort of suffocation of the blood, which results in death in a very short time.

There are many instances of death from gas poisoning in houses illuminated by other means. In several cases it took a long time for the authorities to discover that the gas escaped threugh defective pipes and made its way through the earth into the dwelling and slowly sapped the vitality of the unsuspecting occupants.— New York Ledger.

Midnight Vhotography.

Midnight ;-hetography is becoming quite fashionable. Of course the results are chiefly blotches in black aud white, coin- prising illuminated windows and the gas and electric lamps, but the picture is im- pressionistic, which is the same thing as artistic nowadays.—Typographical sovr- nal.

PASSING OF THE LEECH. Medicine Has Turned the Cold Shoulder on an Old Friend That Is Still Effective.

A young man with a black eye was led into a Brooklyn drug store in Fulton street the other night by some friends to see what could be done to make the eye pre- sentable. The druggist said that he could not paint the eye, which the young man insisted was the only proper course, but a leech could be applied. There was some old fashioned, but the young man consent- ed toan operation. The drugesist brought outa jar six inches in height and fished around inside with one hand. He brought outa crawling, black object that he im- mediately transferred toa little pasteboard box, in one side of which he had cut a small hole, near the edge in the cover. Holding the hole up to the young man’s eye, the druggist shook the box a little and the leech’s head was soon at work reducing the size of the dark patch under the eye. Meanwhile the company got some instruc- tion about leeches.

“The medicative leech is not so much in demand as it ought to be,’’ said the drug- gist, ‘‘ancd the main difficulty in this country is to get leeches that will not cause blood poisoning. ‘The decrease in the use of leeches by the medical profession is re- markab!c. In England the largest two hospitals formerly called for about 50,000 of them; now they call for 50 or 100 leeches at irregular intervals. Owing to a lack of demand and overproduction in

to about one-half of that easily obtained 50 years xco. In this country a few places produce leeches, but they are not so geod as these that are imported. The best are brought from Norway in tubs of rich loam. In England the speckled leech, which is raised in Hungary for the English trade, is the most popular. The leech is used almost exclusively for remeving blood from the eye after the bruise isa day old. When the eye is first bruised, the best thing to use is raw meat. The best leeches are those that hang on the longest. These are from Norway, and they are long and slender.”’

**Y guess this came from Norway,”’ said the sufferer, wincing. ‘It pulls hard enough.”’

1, you will feel as lively as a cricket after this is over,’’ said the druggist. ‘““You needn’t be afraid of any impurities, such as some have complained of when using American leeches. Some are raised in Florida, but they are not held to be very good. The danger of having leeches raised in warm countries is that the bite is dangerous, giving rise to blood poison- ing. That’s what is said of American leeches, but I never had any experience with them.”’

‘‘How much?” said the man after the leech had Jet go.

‘“Twenty-five cents,’’ said the druggist. —New York Sun.

LOST TREASURES.

What Is Found Under the Seats After an Operatic Performance.

When the curtain has made its final fall after an operatic performance at the Met- ropolitan and the bejeweled audience hag dispersed, a queer scene is enacted. A company enters and spreads itself out in boxes and orchestra stalls, overhauling chairs, searching floors, prying under cushions, peering into corners, as though hunting for the strange demon who com- pels even the brightest of operatic stars to occasionally sing flats where sharps are written. But the members of the com- pany of seekers are in search of something move prosaic than demons. “hey are look- ing for the clmost endless variety of arti- cles that a grand opera audience nightly leaves behind. Any one connected with the house can join in the search, and every one whose duties permit invariably does so, for there is some valuable gleaning to be done at the Metropolitan after the en- raptured and entranced audience has de- parted.

For one year the property is kept in the opera house safe, labeled with the name of the finder, and duly entered ina book kept for the purpose. If unclaimed at the end of the year, the article is presented to the finder by the management as a reward for his honesty.

Among the queerest articles at the Met- ropolitan which await a claimant are a false tooth witha heavy gold plate attached, two silk hats, whose owners must have been strangely entranced with the music to go home bareheaded; an elegant lace mantilla, which must have cost at least $150; a gold bracelet, the broken clasp of

Gne of these pocketbeoks, picked up by a gleaner, was found to contain $300 in greenbacks. It was handed in with the rest of the findings to the manager. Its careless owner, a Japanese connected with the consulate, claimed it the following day. The honest finder went unrewarded. But they are accustomed to that sort of treat- ment at the Metropolitan.—New York Press.

The Sard Laden Missouri.

Mr. Frank H. Spearman writes in St. Nicholas of the freaks of the Missouri riv- er, his article being entitled ‘‘A Shifting Boundary.’’ Mr. Spearman says:

You must know that the real business of the Missouri is to carry the mountain waters east and south into the gulf of Mexico. Butin bounding from side to side of its valley through the tedious cen- turies it has twisted and turned so many titoes that no doubt its head is confused. Carrying the quantity of mud it does, you would hardly expect it to be clear headed. There is actually so much sand in the water that the fish all have sore cyes; some are totally blind, the saddest look- ing creatures you ever caught. A really fastidious text or bass dropped into the Missouri would hang himself in despair—- on a fishhe«™

- NAVEL ORANGES.

Explanation of Their Origin That Doesn’t Quite Explain.

They wanted to know about nave) oranges in the store, and the inquisitive man asked of the market man the same question that the little boy asked his mamma. In vain the little boy awaited the maternal response, but not so he of the inquisitive mind, for the market man revolved the quid of thought in his brain, eyed chicken and turkey and juicy slices of beef, lifted an orange and fondled it and said: “I can tell you all about it. They come this way: You see they import the seedless navel orange trees from Australia. They don’t do well in this country, so they cut down the California orange trees when young and ingraft slips of the Austra- lian tree into them, and they grow up big and streng and perfect into the juicy, applause compelling, mouth wa- tering California navel. That’s how the navel comes.’’

A silence fell, and the inquisitive man said: ‘‘Once a nigger asked the deacon about how they made man in the creation, and the deacon asked the dominie, and the dominie said, ‘Dey wes a brack man and er brack woman on de earf long fore dey was ever any livin, movin thing, an de brack man he took de brack woman and put her in de sacred spring and leaned her up agin de fence ter dry, and de brack woman took er brack man and dipped him in de sa- cred waters an she leaned him’—-
