A Miser's T.itst Wish.
A Greek died in tho small town of
Caracal, having nlways lived on the
alms of his compatriots. Before dying
ho made his wife Hx-ear that she would
bury him in the dirty old overcoat which
ho wore every day. The poor woman
had to ask the Greeks of Caracal to help
her to provide the costs of the fnheral.
A good hearted Greek went to see her in
her affliction, and pointing to the body
paid he wonld give her a lietter coat to
tmry the man in. Then she told him of
the dead man's last wish. The Greek,
whoso suspicions were awakened, told
her that she should certainly not part
with the hody before she had well exam
ined tho coat, for there must be some
particular reason for the request. The
widow unpicked the lining of the over
coat and found 85,000 francs in bank
notes which tho miser wished to take
into the grave with him. Vienna Cor.

The Moral In llmtlit.
Rather nn odd nccident happened to a
young wijinart on Pitrlc row on Friday.
She was handsomely dresser1, wearing
for a wrap one of tlv ttw 'limbic decked,
balloon rigged c.'tiict of velvet, trimmed
with fur and lined with colored silk.
She was about rrofs hr; I he street when
two men seized her mvl bi"(iin pulling
and pntting tho precious mp- with their
hands.
Tho woman wa3 badly nc:; red. turned
as whito as a sheet, nnd .:iply stood
helpless, gazing nt the nv ie i of the men
who wero dnncing about b'r. and whr
sho thought were highwaymen trying tt
make off with her new winter wrap.
Presently the men tipped their huts ant!
explained that the garment t hey had beer
trenting seemingly so rorghly bad beer
ablaze. Sure enough, there was a big
ugly, black bole eaten out of the velvet
of one of tho front folds. Probably tin
wearer in passing some smoker had
canght a spark from a cigar or pipe. Sht
thanked the gallants who had comn to hei
rescuo and then went on her way, hiding
as best sho could the damaged part of tlit
gnrment. It is a nnestinn whet her t!it
moral of this story is that men should
not smoke in the street or women should

"Harrison? Harrison?" repeated the
lady inquiringly.
"Yes, 'um: Ben Harrison they calls me

"Oh, no," she answered brightly; "it's
an excellent name, but the owner of it
will have to get out," nnd she began to
call the dog.
"Ugh," he growled as he dodged
through the gate. "I might 'a' knowed by

Why the (treat Knstern Fulled.
Referring to tho failure of tho Great
Eastern, which at the time was attrib
uted to her size, in comparison with the
success which now attends boats of
nearly tho Bame dimensions, how plain
now to naval architects, vessel owners
and in fart everybody possessing even a
limited knowledge of the requirements
as to power in large steam vessels is the
main cause of failure in the Great East
ern. Her power was entirely out of
proportion to her great length nnd other
dimensions. The dimensions of Atlantic
liners are now approaching to nearly
tho size of the Great Eastern. The
length of the Great Eastern was 680 feet
and her horsepower T.O'tO. The new
Cunard liner Campania is 020 feet long,
but her horsepower will be 80,000, and
it is said that the boat which the White
Star lino proposes to build at Belfast,
Ireland, will be 700 feet long. It is the
difference of power to which attention is
called, however. Marine Review.

Traditions and folklore among the
people of mountainous Kentucky are
evanescent and vary widely in different
localities. It appears that the people
aro sprung in part from the early hunt
ers who came into the mountains when
game was abundant, sport unfailing and
living cheap. Among them now are
till hunters, who know the haunts of
bear and deer, needing no dogs. Even
yet they prefer wild meat even "pos
sum" and "coon" and groundhog to any
other. "Blue Grass Region of Ken

Obeying Instructions.
When tho new apprentice assumed his
duties nt the Turkish bath establishment
the mnnager thought ho seemed rather
stupid nnd entered into n long explana
tion of what ho was to do. Ho particular
ly emphasized tho command that the at
tendant was to "rub 'em without mercy."
Dnring the day the mannger beard a
great many complaints from bis patrons
that they had lost their personal prop
erty. He thought that a sneak thief
must have como in to get washed, nnd
resolved to bo on tho look out. Ho dis
covered nothing, however, though he
pecked around most of tho day like an
amntenr detective, biding in nil sorts of
places.
Townrd the time when the new attend
ant wns to go off duty, tho latter went
into the manager's office nnd liegan be
having with much mystery. He walked
around like n wet hen, waiting until the
coast was clear. When there was none
but himself and his chief in the office he
tiptoed up to the door nnd locked it.
Then he produced from his pockets five
gold watches, some diamond rings, a few
senrfpins nnd other articles, which he
sot forth with grent pride before the
manager, who, horrorstruck, recognized
tho effects ns belonging to his customers.
"You told me to rob 'em without mer

lltiddtilsm In f.reere.
A legend of one of Buddha's earliest
pupils tells ns that the young man used
to pass the wholo rainy season in his
palace surrounded by dancing girls,
thiee ho saw a bevy of them asleep in
unbecoming attitudes, tmd be woke np
and said. "This will never do." So he
joined Buddhn. Now, a life of heavy
heat, long rainy seasons nnd unceasing
dancing girls is very well calculated to
bring a man to suicide or to Buddhism.
As far as Buddhism means unselfish
kindness (nnd it demands a great deal of
that from a true disciple), it is exactly
as good as any other religion which mnke
the same requirement.
But as far as it is pedantic, morbid,
puerile and superstitious, busy with
arithmetical strings of propositions, with
austerities, ending in self hypnotism,
with an ideal of universal suicide, it is
difficult to seo how the natives of a
temperate climate can acquiesce in the
developed doctrines of Buddhism. Had
Gotnnia come to Greece nnd preached at
the Olympic games it is unlikely thnt he
would have made a single convert.

Illlf I'ny for Utile Work.
Tho number of accidents which have
befallen the big steamship lines bnv
been surprisingly few. When mishaps
have occurred largo sums have been
awarded for comparatively trivial serv
ices, such as towing for a day or two.
The Hamburg-American liner Suevia,
from Now York to Hamburg, broke her

An Anecdote of Pnrothea Dlx.
A rural New Jersey member who had
announced in the house that tho wants
and sufferings of the insane of the state
"wero all humbug," went to the parlor
of Dorothea Dix to silence her with his
arguments, but was constrained by her
gontlo force to listen to hers. At the
end of an hour and a half ho moved into
the middle of the room and thus deliv
ered himself: "Ma'am, I bid you good
night. I do not want, for my part, to
hear anything more; the others can Btay
if thoy wan't to; I am convinced; you've
conquered mo out and out; I shall vote
for the hospital. If you'll come to the
house and talk there as you've done hero,
no man that isn't a brute can stand you,
and so, when a man's convinced, that's
enough. The Lord bless you I" There
upon bo took his departure. Mary 8.

Like Mother's Cooking.
An enterprising baker advertises
"mince pies like mother used to make."
There is something queer about the idea
that one's mother could cook better than
any other woman who ever lived. Each
generation of men, when they reach mid
dle life, lauds mother's cooking, and
compares it with his wife's cooking to
her disadvantage. When that man's
boy gets a wife of his own he tells her
what a good cook his mother was, and
so it goes generation after generation.
Now, according to this theory, the art
of cooking has been steadily deteriorat
ing, but of course this is not true. Won
der if a boy's appetite has not something
to do with the idea that his mother was
the best cook the world ever saw? St.

At an Knfrllsh limner Patty.
Everybody took a lady and proces
sioned down to the dining room, but
there the dispute begun. The Duke of
Shoreditch wanted to tako precedence
and sit at the bend of the table, holding
thnt he outranked a minister who repre
sented merely n nation nnd not a inon
nrch, but 1 stood for my rights and re
fused to yield. In the gossip column I
ranked nil dukes not royal, and said so,
and claimed precedence to this one. it
couldn't be settled, of course, struggle ns
wo might nnd did, ho finally (nnd inju
diciously) trying to play birth and an
tiquity, nnd I "seeing" his conqueror nnd
"raising" him with Adnm, whose direct
posterity I was, as shown by my name,
whilo he was of a collateral branch, as
shown by his and by his recent Norman
origin; so we nil processioned back to
tho drawing room again nnd bad a per
pendicular lunch plate of sardines and
a strawberry, nnd yon group yourself
and stand up nnd eat it.
Here tho religion of precedence is not
so strenuous. Tho two persons of highest
rank chuck np n shilling; the one that
wins has first go at bis strawberry nnd
tho loser gets tho shilling. The next two
chuck up, then tho next two, and so on.
After refreshment, tables wero brought,
nnd wo nil played cribbnge, sixjK'nce a
game. Tho English never play any
game for itmusenieut. If they can't
make something or lose something
they don't euro which they won't play.

And lie Got It Cheap.
Hero is un nnecdoto that J. Seaver
Page tells of a "close call" ho had soon
after Russell Sago had bis "close call:" "A
wild eyed man, with bis hair somewhat
tumbled, entered our store, and walking
np to one of the salesmen held a can out
aturm's length and said, '1 want a quart
er vermilion, and I wnnt it quick.' The
salesman eyed his visitor sharply and
then said nervouslyt 'Y-yes, sir. W-wait
a minnit and I-I'll find it for you.' lie
ran into my office and cried out excited
ly; 'Mr. Page, there's a man out there
with a can of dynamite, and he says he
wants a quarter of a million!' 'Well, go
tell him I'll be out in a moment,' said L
The wild eyed man was still standing in
tho center of the store holding out the
can when I came out. 'What is it you
want, my friend? said I very nervously.
"The man was beginning to get angry.
'A quart er vtirmilion,' ho shouted, 'and
I want it pretty quick.' 'Will you take
a check?" 'No. What do I wnnt with a
check? I tell you I wnnt a quart er vcr
liiilioii.' 'Say that ugaiu, nnd saw it
slow,' I snid. 'A quart of vermilion,'
said tho man. 'Oh!' 1 exclaimed, intense
ly rolioved utid wiping perspiration beads
from my brow. 'Here, get this man a

anything for it.' "New York World.
General nliurniini'e Individuality.
Iii ouo of Lawrence, Ilutton'a articles
on deathmimks ho speaks incidentally of
General Sherman's strong individuality,
which causes a certain sculptor to re
mark: "When I was busy with a bust of
General Sherman nnd saw him every
day, it was a curious fact that he made
positively no personal impression upon
my mind. 1 admired him and revered
him, but it was hard work to romember
that he himself was there. I stood on
tho corner watching bis funeral with the
rest of the crowd. I was interested in
looking ut tho notables, and I sincerely
grioved for the great man's death. But
do you know at the moment tho hearse
was drawn past me my attention was
completely absorbed by some idle inci
dent of tho occasion. Only at the lost
second did I think: 'There it is again. I
cannot even rivet my attention upon
him whilo his dead body is passing by."'

A llrlght Horse and a Clever log.
Few telegraphers aro hotter known in
Now York than George Mudgult, of the
postal ofllco, nnd thero are foxver still
who bavo u better fund of stories. Ho
tells of a certain horse who accompanies
a Scranton (Pa.) lineman on his trips.
This horse can see a broken insulator
quicker than his rider, and always stops
when ono is reached. It is hardly neces
sary to add that the horse can telegraph
with his feet, but no one knows what
he "signs." Tho same lineman owns a
dog who can toll by the bell attached to
the district messenger register when a
certain firm rings a call The dog at
once runs to the store, takes the message
in his mouth and delivers it safely at
the telegraph office. George Mudgett
