ad In 2 Ectter Box. The Brooklyn postmaster was in a rem oo god and went on to relate an {nis ent . strating another kind of care incident i jong before a woman had fice ont forenoon in a state of entered ay exit ment. She said that, te considens her knowledge and belief, she the ane of bills, amounting to $269, had pu® pox on Fulton street in the be- lief that she Was posting a letter. She had . oliection of W hat she had dore, but, — going nearly a block from te box, a een the letter she had intended to — per hand and the roll of bills was pe The natural inference was that, in

a fit ‘of abstraction, she had dropped the

pjlls in the hox. There was nothing to be

gore until the next collection from that route came in, and the woman waited with gq congealed impatience. The mail matter from the box in question was taken by one collector, and by him handed to anoth- er to bring to the mainoflice. Indue time the collections arrived, and when looked ever the missing roll of money was found all right.

*That,’’ said the postmaster, “is an ex- treme case of absentmindedness, but you would be surprised to see the number of queer articles taken out of letter boxes. Almost every day there are knives and keys and pocketbooks and hairpins and no end of other articles that plainly have been pat in by mistake. In the postal service one bas many opportunities to see how people of intelligence make sad blunders,”’ =New York Tribune.

i A Peasant Wonder. Something of a sensation was caused in St. Petersburg a short time ago by the ap- earance of an old peasant woman, named rma Andrejewna Fedosova, from Oloneez, 79 years of age, unable to read or write, who could recite by heart 19,000 folk songs and poems. She was brought to the capi- tat by a Russian litterateur, who, with the help of a colleague, wrote down a large quantity of her treasure, with a view to publication. Her collection appears to have ranged over the whole field of folk literature, comprising old legends, old fairy tales, tales of feats of arms and tales of comedy nnd tragedy.—Household Words.

Cold Cures,

A plan is being recommended by French physicians to cure colds by ap- plying ice to the spine. Indeed, now- adays the curative value of cold is being highly spoken of, and the inflammatory sore throezt which used to be treated by poultices and warmth is now said to be easily and quickly cured by sucking ice and keeping the patient in a low tem- perature.

MEN IN MANY COLORS.

Richard Harding Davis, Describes a Great Hungarian Celebration.

In one notable group the men wore en- nary yellow silk from head to foot, trim- med heavily with silver. Their boots were yellow, their capes were yellow, and the tall plumes in their peaked caps were yellow. Another group wore gray velvet, with gray fur and silver; another, pur- ple velvet, with gold; another, blue vel- vet, with ermine and silver. There were never more than 20 men at the most in any group. Sometimes there would be but five or six, but the costume of cach one was as rich, whether he rode or walked, as any court dress of any emperor of Europe. The herses were covered with velvet sad- dlecloths, heavy with jewels and gold and silver crnaments. Some were hung from the head to the tail with strings of gold coins that one could heat jangling fora hundred yards as they advanced, stamping and tossing their heads, and others were covered with leopard and tiger skins, o1 with a harness of red morocco leather, or with blue turquoises that lay in beautiful contrast upon the snow white coat and mane.

Some of the provinces which dated back to the beginning of civilization were rep- resented by men with the arms of the days of the Goths and Vandals, and the fierce simplicity of their appearance made the silks and satins of those next in line seem foolish and theatrical. These descendants of the earliest warricrs were perhaps the most eflective figures in the procession. Some of them wore black armor, some gold, some silver, and others the plain steel shirt of chain armor, which clung tc them like a woolen jersey. Their legs were bound with raw leather thongs, and on their heads they wore stcel casques with a bar of steel running from the helinet tc the chin to protect the face from sword thrusts, and each rider held before him a great spear, from each side of whick sprouted black eagle's feathers. There was something so grim and fierce in their ap- pearance that the crowd along the side walks stood awed as they passed and then burst into the mest cnthusiastic cheers heard that day.—Richard Harding Davis in Scribner's.

He Swore.

The chaplain of the Eleventh Vermont was Dr. Arthur Little, who was for a doz- en years or more a popular Chicago pastor. It is said of Mr. Little that on three differ- ent occasions he took a musket and went into battle. After his first fight one of his brother officers told Mr. Little that his conduct in battle had been highly credita- ble’exc ept for his shocking profanity.

“Why, sir, you are mistaken, I never swear.”’

“I don’t know what you call it, Mr. Little, but were a private to swear at a mark I am sure his profanity would not be worse than yours was in that battle.’’

‘*You sheck me.”’

**Well, sir, you shocked the rest of us in that fight. Do you remeinber anything you said during the fight, Mr. Little?’’

“Not a thing.’’

‘*Well, you swore nearly every time you spoke.’’

Itwas about the same the next fight and worse than ever in the third.

Men are not their better selves in battle, no matter how brave they may be. They do things and they s«y things that they could not be induced to do or say in the ordinary walks of life. Ltold of a pious old deacon, the exptain of a company, who was horribly profane in a fight, and when thaffed about it wept for his sins. Myr. Little was more philosophical. He said: ‘*I didn’t intend to swear. I didn’t know that I swore. 1 am sorry if I did swear. I guess, under the circumstances, God will not mark it down against me.’’—Chicage Times-Herald.

What He Wanted.

Some curious discoverics have been made by a benevolent lady who has spent a good geal of her time in hospitals reading aloud to patients in reference to the literary tastes of hcrauditors. It seems that mncst of them prefer newspapers to bocks, ang that a majority of them take more intcrest in politics than in any other department, One German patient always requested ‘local news,’? and when asked what he meant by this term he replied, ‘‘ Why, mur- ders and suicide and them kind o’ things.”’ One morning a poor fellow whose legs had been amputated above the Knee said: ‘If you please, ma’am, I’m tired o’ politics. Wen’t ye give us some bicycle news?’’— Chicago ‘l'vibune.

Du Maurier’s Drawings.

Young Gerald Du Maurier, being inter- | viewed by a reporter, said one thing about his father that will surprise everybody who was familiar with Mr. Du Maurier’s drawings, and that is that Le had no idea of appropriateness in dress and did not know one fashion from another. ‘‘) y sis- ters,’’ said Mr. Du Maurier, ‘‘looked to it that he got the right things in his pic- tures. He would come home sometimes and sketch something which had attract- ed him in a passer by on the street. Often it would be some impossibly queer ar- rangement, and my sisters would protest: “Why, father, you mustn’t use that in Punch. Nobedy weurs those things now. They're dreadiully old fashioned,’ and he would give in immediately to what he rec- ognized as thcirsuperior judgment.’’ This will be a blow to the hundreds of people who modeled their dress upon that of Du Maurier’s men and women. His fashions, however, were correct, for his family saw #> it that they should be.

His Noble Title,

Lord Leighton, when asked by what title he would be called to the upper house, at once replied, ‘‘I am aworkingman and cannot ufford to change my name, which is my trademark.’’ ‘There result many miner social confusions when the altera- tion in status is accompanied by an altera- tion of the patronymic. When, for in- stance, Sir James McGarel-Hogg, raised to the peerage under the title of Lord Mag- heramorne, first dined out with his new dignity, the footman, unable to master the sound, but refusing to be beaten, an- nounced, ‘‘The late Sir James McGarel- Hiogg.’’—San Francisco Argonaut.

HE GOT HIS ANSWER.

But It Was Very Different From Whet He Lad Uxpected.

As the train pulled out cf Chicago a quiet, gentlemaniy lecking man entered the buffet car, unc, cis concing himsc!f in a comfortable chair, drew out a loug cigar and entered deeply inte his paper. He remained so quiet and retained his seut so long that another passenger, whose bearing distinctly stamped him as a commercial traveling man, one of the kind full of chatter and curiosity, could no longer restrain himself. Ad dressing the quiet gentleman, he in- quired, ‘‘Traveling east?’

Slowly removing his cigar, the gen- tleman turned and looked at his ques- tioner with slightly elevated eyebrows, replying, ‘‘Yes.’’

‘‘New York?”

oe Yes. 9 ra

‘*Pleasure?”’

**Ycs and no.”* ,

**Great place, New Ycrk. Ever been there before?’’

*“No,’?

‘I’m going home this trip—New York, you know.”’

The gentleman made no reply, but resumed his paper. Aiter a little silence the commercial manu began again.

“Tm with C. & Co., on Broadway. If you drop in, I’il show you over the city.”’

‘‘Thank you, it will not be neces- sary !’’

‘‘Excuse me, but might I ask what you’re going to New York for?’’

By this time most of the other passen- gers were interested. The gentleman, who was extremely annoyed at the drummer’s curiosity, laid down his pa- per and exclaimed:

“I’m going to New York, first, be- cause the train is taking me there; sec-

ond, because I’ve got lots of money and }.

can afford it, and, last, because if I like the place I intend to buy it.’’

The commercial man subsided amid a roar of laughter.—Philadelphia Times.

The Center Table.

Some one recently has spoken a word in favor of the old time center table, and it would indeed be a good thing could it be restored. The very presence of its bright lamp, its periodicals and its becks suggests sociability and delightful intercourse. The very opportunity it of- fers for the drawing up of many chairs is a silent invitation, and it so possesses asubtle charm that is allitsown. What we most need in our medern social life are informal gatherings where compan- ionship can be enjoyed withoygt the preparation and the fuss attendant upon a dinner or a reception. And, as the center tabie may properly be called a promoter of just such happy homes, it would be well were it once more given a place.—Philadelphia Ledger.

Following Precedent,

“I’m too practical to do as heroes do in books, Miss Slight, so I'll just ask you bluntly, will you be my wife?’’

‘‘No, thank you, Mr. Terse. Imyself don’t believe in those silly, bookish no- tions, and as the silly hereimes always say yes, why, I'll tell you bluntly, no,

sir, I won’t.’’—Philadelphia North Amerivan.

It was the belief of Livingstone that nearly all lions were ‘‘left handed.’’ He watched them closely, and when they desired to strike a fierce blow they al- ways used the left paw.

The popular belief that the sap of trees goes down into the reots in winter Gud tises again in the spring is false.
