" Thn Journal man noticed that thn Ynteran cirru man omitted thn "Hit nor" and "Ma'amplln" from hi ron vernation, o that Ham Mynr and An nin Johnson did not bear in private life thn nnmes which adorned thn rirrus prograinmn and thn particolored litho graph which inflnmn thn circus going propensities of Yonng America. "You see, Sam Myer and Fete Wil son and Aunia Johnson were albino thnt season and did a great act on thn flying trnppzp, in which Annie niacin ever no many jump across thn tent nnd wan caught by Ham, whiln Pete wit performing on a third bar wny np ahovn them. Onn jnmp after another wni mudn all right by her, and andilen ly nverylioily win tirpricl to ' Hum lift Annie in thn air a hn rnught her and kin her before hn turned to mnkn thn leap buck to her own trnpeae, Kvcrv body wondered what it nil meant, and after tho uct was over they soon found out "It seem that Snm and Pete, had both fallen in love with Annie, nnd jut beforn thn net Petncoiillded to hiMchura hi intention of proposing to the pretty partner. Hum mudn up hi mind that ho would not bo left in a cusp, like tui, but hn hnd no elmncn to apeak for him self until they began. "When Annie inailo her flrt jump, he Rtnrtcd to pop thn quPHtiou, and thn proposal continued with interruption as tho young ludy would Rwing hack and forth anil jump to and fro in tho regular riiHtom of her performance. Finally the quPKtion wn axkeil juHt a she swung.

Homehow ho hud tho imprcs Dion that ho had not been treuted wuare ly in thin propositi, and tho firm broke up then and there." "That reminds me of another team which wo with a circuit that I wus per forming in a dozen year ago. Tho llowlond brother wcro doing a double trapeze act, with all sort of daring jump, much tho sumo sort a the one we just iiw. In tho same, circus tho loading rider wus Jennie Dunbur, who was the cleverest little woman who ever jumped throtiKh a hoop, and both tho boy fell in lovo with her. "She wu really fond of both of them, but when they proponed alio ucoepn d Will and told Fred thut she, could only be a sister to him. When Fred proponed, wo wcro performing up in Cauada, and the proposal was made just before tho afternoon performance. When the boys canio up for their torn, we all noticed that Fred wai pale and nervous, while Will wa jut the reverse. Their act went on just the sume as usual, and finally came their last jump, which was the most daring of all. Fred hung by bis toes, lyul Will made the swing clear across the tent We never knew how it happeued, whether Fred was so nervous that he lost his grip or whether he did it deliberately, but just as Will carao flying through the air Fred trembled and dropped from bis hold down into the net, while Will shot through the air and fell in the ring clear beyond the edgo of the net When they ran to him, he was dead, Jennie was almost crazy With grief, and Fred had an attack of braiu fever, from which he did not re cover for months. "No one conld tell whether he delib erately dropped to get rid of his rival or whether he was so sick that he could not hold himself longer. At any rate, as toon as he got well he proposed to Jennie again and waa accepted. They are married now and retired from the business. "Boston Journal. A Moval Advaitlalaa- Sanaa.

This i an after dinner story told by a well known lawyer the other evening, IlliiHtriitive of legal dinieiiltie that limy Brine even In thn carrying out of tho moat, amicable contract: Thorn wero mien four brother, who hu t Inherited a atoriiKP warchoiiNO from their father and who eunlly divided Hip property among- them. Among thn ni't'iirtPiiBiicp thereto wa a eat, a fine ai l. excellent formounlng, and thin, too, win divided, tho elder brother own ing the right front quarter, thn second brother thn left front quarter and thn younger brother tho two hind (nnrter. Now, unfortunately, thn oat in onn of it nocturnal prowl injured thn right front paw, and the elder brother at tended to that iHirtion of hi property by binding tlin injured member with a groaned rug. Thn rat, thankful for this relief to it sutTering, went to lep eontenteilly before tho Are, but In tho tnitlnt of its lnmbcr a falling coal ig nited tho rag, and thn animal, howling with agony, dunned through thn ware honne, and, coming in contact with aoinn oomliuntible, set thn building on Are. When thn Ion naiun to bn figured out thn three younger brother wlnhnd to throw it all upon thn elder, npon the ground that had he not tied up his part of thn eat with tho inflammable rag thn building would not have been destroy ed. Hn, on the contrary, contended that had tho rat only been possessed of thn front right paw hi property it would have stood still and burned to death. It was the three other paws that mused the damage. Tho brothers argued the rase until thny died, but could never roach an agreement Philadelphia Iteo ord. THE OLDEST KNOWN BIRD. It Bad Taatfc la IU Jaw and WaaOthar arlaa Klasaat. "The Holenhofen slate of Bavaria, " writes Professor IL f Beeley in his recent little volume, "Thn Htory of thn Earth In Past Ages," "makes known numerous insects and other form of ter restrial life of this period, including the oldest known bird. A bird In known by its feather, though thorn is reanou why tho covering to thn skin should not be as variublo in this group of animals as among reptiles or mammal. It In, therefore, remarkable thnt tho olilent known bird, the arclneopteryi, hn feathers as well developed as in tho Fl irting representatives of the elan mid similarly arranged. Tho animal is an elegant, slender bird, which is chiefly remarkable for showing teeth in tho jaws. About 19, short nnd conical, occur on each sido of the upper jaw. The bird was lurger than tho robin iu its body nnd had a tail of which there was a bony corn some six inches in length. Tho wings Were quito as well developed n thn legs, and there are some evidence that tho former conld be applied to tho ground, as aro the fore legs of quadrupeds, al though the feathers show tho wings to have been constructed on tho snmn plan as the birds of today. Thn Holenhofcn stone, in which so many of tho remuins of Ashes, reptile mid insects arc found, is tho sumo a that used for lithographic purpoHcs, being of exceeding clono tux- turo nnd of remiirkublo smoothness when prepared for its work.

Tho cruelties of the French revolution lose nothing by tho munuer in which Baron Ferdinand Bothsohild has de scribed them in his book : "By far the most wantonly suvage of tho Republican oommisHiouors was Le bon, who exercised the powers of a pro consul at Arras. The Marquis do Viel- fort wus lying bound under tho knife of the guillotine when Lebon, who was looking on from tho balcony of a neigh' boring house, made a sign to suspend the execution. The mob, fuiicyiug he meant to pardon the condemned man, wore greatly surprised at such unwont ed clemency on his part. Lebon, how ever, took a newspaper from his pocket, road out a long account of a victory the Republican army had just gained and ended by shouting to the marquis, 'Vil lain, go and inform your friends of the news of our victories. "Michelet relates that a man known for his colossal strength and iron nerve betted that he would stand by and at the executions from first to last without faltering. For some time he nnflinch ingly bore the sight, but when a young girl named Nichole, a mere child, step ped forward, lay down on the plank and gently asked the executioner, 'Am I right this wayf his braiu reeled and he dropped in a dead faint Wondnrfnl rtarwas aa Baalla'ht. From a comparison of the relativo in tensity of solar, lunar and artificial light, as determined by Professors Euler and Wollaston, it appears that the rays of the sun have an illuminating power that is wonderful in the extreme. Ac oording to their deductions, the illumi nating power of the "great day star" la equal to that of 14,000 candles at a distance of one foot, or of 8,600,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000 candles at distance of 86,000,000 miles. From the above figures it follows that the amount of light which flows from the solar orb oould not be produced by the daily burning of 800 globes of tallow, equal to the earth in magnitude.
