In Former Times They Were Badges ( the Wearer's Profesnlon. Ycnra. ngo the white tie in this conn- try was the cbnrnctertntio wear of the reverend clergy, thnir monopoly. Thnnoe it panserl into general ne nnd diflpnted popnlnrity with the -black. The black neckcloth was early in this centnry like wise professional badge. Those who followed the profession of arms claimed the right to wear it as their monopoly and sometimes enforced that right. Cooper in "Wing and Wing" makes a very drnmntlo nse of this custom. A French privateer captain in disgaise has fallen into the hands of the English and is bronght before a conrt martini. So skillfully does he stick to his assnmed character of a fisherman that his judges are pnzzled until one of his neensors suddenly places around the prisoner'! throat the black neckcloth which all officers wore. Then his true character blazes forth and he is condemned, bnt escapes ezecntion to die sword in band. Cooper knew what he was writing about, for be, too, had been an officer. Military and naval men wore black cravats when in plain clothes, and civil ians aped them nutil black became the only wear. Before the rise of the black cravat, carelessly tied white lace, the Steenkirk, had been in vogue for unnk wear. Its popnlnrity likewise was a ci vilian tribnte to military valor. At the battle of H teen kirk the French Royal guards, the household troops, being suddenly called from their tenia to meet the oncoming English, had no time to tie their rich lace cravats with their accus tomed neatness and loosely knotted them abont thotr throats. They were the dan dies of Europe, the perfect pinks of military propriety, nnd wore correspond ingly brave. They did np the English in about one round, and thenceforward the Steenkirk cravat was the fashion, and the more carelessly it was knotted the more Steenklrky it was. As white is no5V the color of peace. may not the psychologist be justified in hailing snowy cravats as evidences of man's recognition that peace hath her victories not less fashionable than those of war and as worthy of being com momorated at the neck? Boston Tran script. A New Version of an Old Story. Poor M. Floquct is hardly cold in his grave before posterity has set about stripping him of his chief claims tc glory. Everybody remembers that the Radical pol.ticinu's reputation was built upon an incident which occurred in 1807. The Czar Alexander II, then on a visit to Napoleon III, had been shown over the Palais de Justice, and was stopping into his carriage, amid cheers, kindly provided by his host, when some' body iu the crowd shouted, "Vive la Pologne, monsieur I" Floquet got the credit of this audacious bit of imperti nence, and on the strength of it secured a seat in the chamber. M. Julos Clurotie declares that he heard from Floquet himself that the real author of the cry was Gambetta, who generously allowed his friend to profit by it On the other hand, M. Audrienx asserts that he in vented the Uarubetta legend to amuse the readers of a provincial paper, and that he did so at Floquet a request But another curious piece of evidence has been brought forward. The czar never hoard tho words at all, bnt he noticed the tumult to which they gave rise and saw the mob gather round a figure in thoir midst, "What on earth," lie ezolaimed, "does that old priest want ?" Now neither Gambetta nor Flo quet could possibly have looked like a disheveled ecclesiastic, bnt a wan who was a close spectator of the scene post tively affirms M. Dolattre, a barrister of very advanced views, to have been the real siuion pure. Hie czar's descrip tion would apply to bun, and the lan linage resembled his uttoruuoes in the tribune. Here we must leave the qnes tion, which affords, at all events, one more proof of the unoertuiuty of -history, fat James Gazette. VseMraoss Preferable to Brilliancy. Dr.O. H. Porkhnrst aaya that a light ring flash is brilliant to behold, bnt he would rather have a candle to read by. There are few lightning flashes and many candles In the world, A "bril liant" young man or woman isn't such aa acquisition as some people would bare us believe. The plodding liabit of dogged toll can aooompHsh more than pasmodio freshets of enthusiasm. The work of the world is done in its workshops, not its talking shows, con ventions and "enthusiastic" gatherings, whose enthuslam neer, by any chahoe, peroolatea Into the adjoining street or slum. . The girl who is plain in faoe and homely of figure, but kindly of heartand tender and tone, is to be preferred by an honest man for wifehood before her dashing, laughing sisters, rare and hand. some, whose duiuty fingers never baked a pie, whose hearts never bore another' burden. The light of the home is gen erally the quiet, humble, unobtrusive sister or brother who is not cursed with the waywardness of genius. Beauty and talent have un equaled op portunities when combined with direct ing character. Bnt the plan of nature never intended that the many ahonld trust to them, so they are given to the few. The majority of na depend on our power to be useful determinedly use fulfor our life's vain. And the daily effort thus to live has made this world and oar national heritage much what they are and give to na New York Ledger. The Groom's Speech, Among the passengers who got Into the London train nt Tlirco Bridges tho other day wero a brldo nnd bridegroom of the rrgnhir "hollyhock" order. It was one of the old fashioned third class carriages, open from end to end, nnd, although it was full of passengers, tho pair began to squeeze hands and ling ns soon as they were seated. This of course attracted attention, and pretty soon ev erybody was nodding nnd winking, and several persons so far forgot themselves as to lnugh outright By and by the broad shonldered nnd red handed groom became aware of tho fact that ho was being ridiculed, nnd ho stretched himself to the height of 6 feet, looked np und down nnd said: "There seems to bo considerable nod ding and winking around hero becnuse I'm hugging tho girl who was married to me this morning. If the rnlfs of this railway forbid a man from hngglng his wife nfter he's paid full fare, then I'm going to get out at the next station. But if the rules don't, and this winking and blinking isn't bitten short off when we pass the next telegraph post, I'm going to begin on the front seat and cronto a rising market for false teeth and crutches I" If there were any more winks and blinks in that carriage, the groom did not see them. Pearson's Weekly. Why the Banker Painted. A well known banker of Paris not long ago met a man of abont his own age, who, in shaking him cordinlly by the hand, said: "Is it possible, my dear sir, that you do not remember me? We met nt pretty closo quarters once SB years ago. I am So-and-so; with whom you fought a duel with pistols. Yon re member mo now! "So I dot So I do!" said the banker. "But I had completely forgotten the incident until you reminded me of it. " "Indeed I As for me I couldn't forget it easily I was so badly scared. Why, I heard your bullet whistle within an inch of my ear." "My bullet?" "Certainly." "And tho pistols wore loaded, then?" 'Of course." "Ah, those rascally seconds I They vowed to me that the pistols weren't loaded. Oil, dearl Oh, dearl To think that I might have been killed like a dogl" And tho banker fainted with agita tion merely to think of tho danger which he had run 25 years before. Strand Magazine. Steals Squabs by Sclenoe. Ho was a venerable looking negro of the Uncle Remus type, and his head turned sharply as he heard a remark from a younger colored man in a Sixth avenue group. "What's dnt I heah you say 'bout lif tin three or fouh young squabs outan a nest?

Somerville Journal. BOXINQ AT OLYMPIA. Whero the Pierce Combats Were Pought Almont to the Death They were cautions, these two, as if Xenoklos fully realized tho power nnd achievements of his opponent and Glnnkus wished to test the gnnrds and attacks of an unknown rival before pro ceeding to fight in earnest Tho sun was alrcudy declining townnl tho western sea. An honr had passed. Tho specta tors grew Impatient Were tho lioxers contending only to weary each other in holding up tho weight of their armed finnds? Snch fights had been, bnt dif ferent tactics wero looked for from Glankns. They knew him for no cow ardly triflor. Xunokles, tx, must be of good heart to face so famous a fighter. "Seel Did I not say it?" cried a Kmtouian. Without warning from rye or muscle Glankns had suddenly closed with his opponent ; but, to his evident astonish ment, the other, without trying to cvndo the rnsh, met it with a blow fnll on tho chest which resounded through the sta ll ion. Glankns' career was checked, but Xenokles, not satisfied with this, now sprang forwnrd and struck ngnin and again with nil his strength, nutil Glan kus rallied from his surprise and, tak ing advantage of an open guard, brought his rival to earth. Tho Messenlan was on his feet almost as soon as he touched the ground. Tho combat was no longer fume. Both men were wounded and bleeding, but they came together like ragiug bulls. Their great arms swung throngh tho air, mining down blow after blow, whilo the clashing of brass upon brass, as they guarded the strokes, rang like the forgo of HophtBStus. "Will not your Alytss interpose?" exclaimed tho Mode. "The rules forbid it," said Evander, "bnt whoever kills an adversary loses his crown. Hal That was too much for the Messetiiim. See how ho sw-nys and drops his handsl" "Now, Glnukns, now I" screamed the crowd. "Strike ere he recover!" But the wary Krotoniun paused to watch the effect of his last blow. He knew that the limit of human endur ance had been almost reached, and he wished to conquer with as little danger to his foe as possible. "Ho has judged well," said Evander as the Messeniau sank down. "Glankns is too practiced a boxer to risk losing a won victory." "A Day at Olympia, ' by Dnflleld Osborne, in Scribner's. A WINDOW IN BERN. How the Swiss Maidens Pass Many a Pleas ant Afternoon. The wide window sills on the third floor are laid out, not for flowers, but, iu no less characteristic Bern fashion, for human occupation. A stout iron rail runs, at a comfortable height for resting shoulders, round the ledge, on which lie redousbions. Settled in a corner of this high perch sits a young woman, like hundreds of her fellow townsfolk, look ing down upon the world, knitting, singing and gossiping by turns in the leisure hour of afternoon and through the long twilight of the summer even ings. Somehow there is a f nscination in this Bern hnbit of perching on tho window sill. It grows on the sitter with use, That brown haired young woman, for instance, would be hard put to it to live at all without her window cushions. She is an Inveterate chatterbox, bnt it is difficult to be hard on her when one overhears her rapid French, her laugh' tr and her sullies on her neighbors be' low. She is a Neufchatcloise or a Gene voise, and the words run off her tongue right prettily, in contrast to the brusque sound of tho quaint Bern-Deutsch. She is blessed with a ringing laugh, too, and carols French songs, partly to herself and partly, five parts out of six, at a young man engaged in a second floor bureau. He appears at the window nsn ally when the singing begins. She has been seen to scatter crumbs from the shaken tablecloth over his upturned oountenuuoa It may have been acci dent, bnt it looked like coquetry. The song goes on, trilling clear and loud through the drowsy calm, and the stu dent leans far out, to look at the window next to his own, not from curiosity- nothing there is uovel but some f ami! iar sights oro good to look at every day, There is little enough to see, too, even if it were a novelty a box green with garden herbs, parsley, thyme, mint and marjoram, two or three pots with com' mon forest ferns and some chrysanthe mum cuttings. Speaker. smaon Street Hawkers. The selling of ice cream appears to be the most profitable street hawkimr trade. The late Carlo. Gatti, who first intro duced the "penny ioe" into the streets of Loudon, once boasted, In a trial for compensation for removal, of having made a profit of 4, 000 a year from that source alone. Starting single handed his success was such that he imported many of his countrymen to help him, with the grand result named. At the Thames police court not long tinoe a vender of ioe creams astonished the presiding magistrate by informing him that he sold for 8 shillings that which originally cost him 1, thus mak ing a profit of 700 per oent When the season of the year is not suitable for ioes, the street hawkers of that oommodity turn thoir attention either to fruits or baked chestnuts. London Tit-Bits. General Mareean. Genernl Murcenn wns not tho only , soldier of the revolution against whom no accusation of cruelty or barbarity has been leveled, bnt ho was the most conspicuous perhaps from tho fact that his efforts on the side of mercy never brought ulxmt his nwu ruin. Almost every battlo in which ho was engnged might huvo furnished nil excuso for leading him to the guillotine in tho footsteps of his old friends and com manders, Dillon and Birou, and yet, in spite of his many enemies nnd tho fierce Jenlonsy which he excited, he managed to keep his head on his shoulders whilo many another, far less suspected, felL And this brings us to n question which can hnrdly fail to force itself upon our nt tent ion. How was it that Marccau, ns n Immune nnd honorable gentleman, could bring himself to sorvn under tho orders of Rosslgnol und Tur roan? One can only say that he made a rare proof of his patriotism in not de sert ing his post One knows what he, felt about tho successful campaign in La Vendee from a letter which ho addressed to his sister Emira tho sister to whom ho ponred ont all his confidences when she wrote to congratulate him on his brilliant victories at Le Mans nnd Save nay ! "what, my dear sister, do yon con gratulate mo ou these two buttles, or rather these two massacres and do you " renlly wish to have a leaf from my luurels? Do yon not know that they are stained nnd soiled with human Mood, with tho blood, moreover, of our follow countrymen? I shall not return to La Vendee, It is painful to me to have to fight against Frenchmen. " Loudon Spectator. New York's Coal Bin. A prominent New York coal mer chant, while showing a Pittsburg friend about New York on tho occasion of the lutter's first visit to the metropolis, took . him to the top of one of the very high est buildings iu town and pointed out to him the different objects of interest that could be seen. The western man took in the beautiful view of the bay nnd then looked northward over miles and miles of roofs and chimneys, over the vast expanse of street and park, business buildings and dwellings, ami then turned to his friend with tho re mark thnt the most astonishing thing to him was that it was so clour. Not a blot of smoke marred tho landscape,, clear and brilliant iu tho sun of u bril liant winter day. New York was clean and neat and tho greatest possible, con trast to the dingy and grimy cities of tho west whero the use of coal is not restricted to certain kinds. The coal dealers of New York oro legion and the business has grown to Immense proportions. The ease with which coal can be shipped to New York and unloaded In order to get it to tho market with the least possible handling has contributed to a great extent to the sucoess whloh New York coal merchants have attained. New York Muil and Exnrnsa. Tho Onteomlng. The Philadelphia Record tolls of a schoolteacher who was instructing a class of boys in geography. Everything went well until, in order to make the ' matter plainer, sho took an ordinary globe and, pointing to the portion con taining the United State's, asked her . olass where she would come out if she shonld start from Philadelphia and go straight through the earth. She knew . they would all say China, but she wanted to see which of her scholar - would answer first She waited fully a-.' . minute and no answer came. Away back' . in tho room n grimy hand was finally held up. "Well, David," sho asked,, "whero would I come out If I shonld go-. ' straight though the earth from hore?" The silence was growing thicker every second. "Please, Miss Maude, yon . would come out of the hole," was the , reply, and tho class in geography wf dismissed for the day. A Ring Island. Many coral reef islands in the Poolflo are in the f rm of more or less perfect rings, or ovals, inclosing lagoons. Re cently a description was presented to the Royal Geographical society of the ring island of Ninafon, halfway between Fiji and Samoa, which is not a coral reef but a volcanic ring inclosing a. crater containing a lake two miles in diameter. Toward the sea the ring is bordered with walls of black lava, and on the inner side these break down in. cliffs 200 to 800 feet in height An eruption in 1886 formed a peninsula on the eastern side of the lake. Whilo the ocean ontsldo is trembling and thnnder- ing nnder a heavy wind the lake re mains smooth or is simply wrinkled with ripples. Youth's Companion.. Bin Exrliemenl lu Town.
