Little Onote’s grandfather was a cob- bler, and as he sat on his mat mending the sandals of his customers his little granddaughter would sit by his side and listen to the strange stories of bogies and spirits which he had to tell Every now and then, as the old cob- bad often seen them peeping over the sides of the well, and one day, her nurse having returned home early, she thought there could be no harm in going to the well and having a peep into the water, as many others had done. “So Mouseme went down to the well, | Intent upon this object, and so excited at the prospect of being able upon her return home to tell her nurse all the wonderful things she had seen in the well, she failed to notice on thre way that the people had commenced to close the outer shutters of their win- dows and to light the evening lamps. She could just discern the well in the distance, and her little heart began to go pit-a-pat in expectation. “Presently she reached the well, and half afraid of the wonderful things it would reveal, she hesitated to peer over the sides. “Very cautiously she crept up closer and closer, and then, summoning all her courage to her aid, she looked right into the water. She almost fell into the well with fright, for she saw, star- ing full into her face, what she knew must be a dreadful water %ogie. She wanted to scream, but could not; she tried to cry, but the tears would not come. And all the fime the water bogie peered into her frightened face. Poor Mouseme! At last the tears came, and the little princess began to cry and scream with all her might. This must have frightened the water bogie, for it began to rub its eyes and to make the most horrible grimaces, just as Mouseme did. “Suddenly a voice cried out, ‘Mouseme, Mouseme!” And the little princess al- most tumbled into the well head first, for she thought it was the water bogie: “MY CAT 7 speaks French,” said little Jeanne, *As plainly as can be; Says ‘s'il vous plait’ (that’s ‘if you please’), And thanks me with ‘merciV I know, because I understand.

Isn’t it astonishing?” Amd then Onoto would open her eyes and mouth in wonderment amd listen all the more attentively. One story Onoto never tired of hear- ing. . “Please tell me about Mouseme and the Water Bogle,” she would say. and her grandfather, as he prepared his tiny tobacco pipe, would ask: “Are you sure that you will not be frightened, little Onoto?’ “Only just a wee bit, grandfather; but please teH me. the story again.” Then grandfather would commence: “Cnc upon a time in a beautiful valley near the sex, there lived a little princess called Mouseme. She} was the only child of a wealthy prince, and as she was ia delicate health the prince's physicians said that she must live near the sea for three months of every year. So Mouseme care with her nurse to the beautiful valley, and ev- ery day in the lovely gardens by the sea they used to walk end listen to the singing birds, or sit apd play until] it was time to retura horde for the night, “Now, I rust tell you that not very far from the lovely gardens in which the Princess Mouseme used to spend the long summer days with her nurse, there was a well—a deep, deep well—and peo- ple used to come from far and near to peep into the still, clear water in order to try and read their fortunes. Mouseme calling ber. But tt was the nurse, who had been looking all over the gardens in search of Mouseme, and had discov- ered her at last by the well.” “And was it a real water bogie?” asked Onoto, when ber grandfather had finished speaking. “No,” he replied; “what Mouseme saw in the water of the well was only the reflection of her own face, and she had been frightened at hothing at all, like s0 many other peenle I know, but 1 shall never get theete sandals finished if I tell you any more storics to-day.”’— Chicago Record-Herald.

Tale of a Strange Happening to Party of Literary Men. Sir Wemyss Reid’s new blography on William Black, the novelist, recalls an amusing story of Black's visit to ‘America which has never before ap- peared in print. It concerns Mr. Black and three literary men, who, as they are still living, we shall desig: nate as Messrs. A, B. and C. It seems that Black and this interesting trio were having a quiet afternoon at oker, into the mysteries of which lack desired to be initiated. An ac companiment to the game, merely for purposes of accuracy in local color, was a bottle of fine old whisky, which Black had provided, with pride in its high merit. This bottle now becomes at once the hero and vilHan of the story; for it was so old, and had sa long been undisturbed that the fusel- oil had collected at the top in deadly strength. All of the party drank lightly, but the consequences were so unfortunate that one of the liter- ary gentlemen retired and went to bed, and another, a very abstemious man, ascended the staircase of his own home on his hands and knees, and when his astounded wife inquired what was the matter, amiably replied, *“M'dear, I wish they wouldn't take the banisters off the stairs. Why do they do it, m’dear?”’ When the four friends met later and compared notes, their experiences were found to be singu- larly alike, and, the trouble being ex- plained, Black laughingly apologized for his unintentionally dangerous hos pitality. Wore Hats in Church. Time was when men wore their hats in church, and Pepys evidently considered it an unnecessary piece of strictness to insist on the bare head in the church. In his diary for No- vember 17, 1661, he has an entry: “To church and heard a simple fellow upon the praise of church musique, and explaining against men’s wearing their hats in church.” On September 28 following he went to the French church at the Savoy, where “the min: ister do preach with his hat off. 1 suppose in further our church.” Probably tt was about this date that the custom of removing hats in the church pegan.—London Chronicle.

In Anmnlerica a shaft of 200 fect is considered fairly deep, while cne of 200 yards in England is but a shallow pit, and some few workings are nearly 4,000 feet deep. The result of this is that the cost of hauling the coal out and the pumping of large quantities of water from great depths make coal mining very expensive In Great Britain. A drift mine is more cheaply ventilated than a shaft ons, and the mines are much more flery in England than they are in America The presence of fire damp in British mines greatly impedes the rapidity of working and adds to the cost in many ways. There are many stringent reg- ulations to be carried out with a view to the prevention of explosions, which nevertheless, occur only too frequent- ly, and when they do they are usually ot a very serious nature, causing large loss of life and property. Frequently several months elapse before the mines are in complete working order again after such an accident. The cost ot this loss of life and property naturally is very great. Centenary of Trousers. Most people will be surprised to hear that trousers, as at present worn by the male portion of humanity, have just - celebrated their centenary, but, according to fashion, such is undoubt- £edly the case. They “came in” on ac count of the high living prevalent in England a hundred years ago. This produced a good deal of gout, whose twinings the tight-fitting costume in use at that period made unbearable. Henece the invention of the wider form of garment, which soon became pepular, and was adopted by many royal personages at home and abroad. Among the ‘“dandies” of the period, however, the new style was regarded with contempt, and when Almack’s self was once refused admission be- sort the great Duke of Wellington him- self was once refused admission be cause he presented himself in trousers instead of the (for that time) orthodox nether garments. So far has their sway now extended that they threaten to supplant even the Scottish kilt. The Bolo and the Bayonet. The chief of ordnance has ordered 100 bolos as a tentative substitute for the regulation army bayonet. The bolo of the Philippines and the machete of Cuba are essentiallly the same, and have been used with such deadly effect that troops operating against guerrilla fcrees armed with them were, on the whole, less afraid of the indifferently handled rifles with which a part of the enemy were supplied. The lance is a} most out of date as a cavalry weapon, the saber is in disfavor, and now the bayonet is under investigation. The bolo is a cutting as well as a thrust- Ing weapon; it is serviceable for troops | in seach of kindling and is handy in the camp kitchen; it is useful for in- trenching. The Ghurkas and other Eritish troops are armed with a sim- ilar weapon. Berlin’s Horseflesh Steaks Popular. The consumption of horseflesh among the poorer classes of Berlin has been steadily growing from year to year. There exists a private establishment in the Greifswalder street where 13,000 horses, to the value of £125,000, were siaughtered last year for the purpose of being turned into steaks and saw sages. The Berlin Town Council is now considering the advisability of constructing additional buildings at the place where the public slaughter- house is situated. They will provide accommodation for many hundreds of Forses at a time which are destined to find an inglorious death at the hands of the city butchers. An Owlish Belligerent. Last year a pair of large brown owls had a nest in a wood, cdlese down to the shore on Milford Haven, with a road passing through it. On severai occasions the cock bird violently at- ttacked dogs pasing through the wood. This year the male bird has has not only attacked dogs, but has several times flown down most viciously in daylight at people walking along the road. He tore a boy’s ear, and his last performance was to knock a man down with the suddenness of his swoop and injure his face so badly that it is fcared he will lose his eye. The bird has since been shot. Titled Clergymen. By the accession of the new Ear of Chichester 6 British secular peerages are now held by clergymen.
