In lf)2 Ptilillu university celebrated Ita tcreentennry, nnd crowds of vis Itora wore nttrnctcil to the city. Two laborers, rejoiced nt the ifencrnl pros perity, expressed their feeling's. "Well, Tim." suld one, "thlni tar Intlnnrlcs doe a dale for the thrudu of Dublin, and no mistake." "Oh. fulx they do!" said the other. "And whin, with the Messln of Clod, we get home rule, mire we n lmve aa manny of thlm aa we plnse." An old woman, rppIur a man pulling young calf rotiKhly along the road, exclaimed: "Oh, yon Mn'gunrd! Thnt'a to way to thrnte a fellow crather." "Sure," nld a laborer to a young lady who wns unring lilin to aend hla children to aehool, "I' I do anything for auch a aweet. crlutlemanly lady aa yonrnelf." Agnln, the laborers on a large eatnte decided that It would be more eon Tenlent for them If they could be pnld every week tnstend of every fortnight. One of their number waa Bent to place their proportion before the Innd agent, and tills wna hla atntetnent: "If you plenao, air, It's me dealre. and It la also Ivery other mnn'a dealre, that we resnvc out fortnight's puy Ivery week."

JUST A BIT OF LIFE. A Pathetic Incident of the Puira. hops In the Metropolis. Sneaking Into n amnll ahop In an ob scure and poverty ridden locality, the man who "went broke" at the races waa realizing on a auperfluoua nrtlcle of Jewelry. A woman ao poor and pinched In fenture. bo marked with enre nnd dcxpcrntlon tlint It made hliu feel Hick to look nt her. was holding something under her ahnwl and wait ing nervously until he ahould have fin ished his trtinaactlon. "Wnlt on her. She seems to be In a hurry." he snld to the man behind the counter, and nt the word of periulaaion a curpentcr's plane waa produced from the shelter of the ahnwl. "How much do you want?" queried the unmoved pawnbroker monotonous ly. "Fifty cents," replied the woman, with a gulping In her throat and an eager look In her eyes. She clutched the money tightly nnd ran Into another creature, poor as herself, but bearing her troubles In duller fashion. She bad a baby's cloak, never costly and much worn, on which she wanted to borrow money, the same sura aa the other woman had aaked for. The man who had been offering a dlnmond felt uncomfortable. "There, give me $50. The atone's worth four times as much." And. seising the mon ey, he hurried after the woman who had Just left the shop. He waa not given to nets of charity, and be felt awkward, the more so as the woman shrank from him as he accosted her. "I beg your pardon," he began, "but here's (5 I bave no use for. Perhaps you"- "No, no!" she cried, drawing further from him. "For your child," he said gently. "My child Is dead!" cried the woman, with n queer sob. and Bed Into the labyrinth of alleys and byways that shelters so much wretchedness. New York Times. Cnrlona Mexican laws. They hnve aome very curious crimi nal laws In Mexico. For Instance, It Is twice as much of an offense to muti late tlio face of a woman as that of a man. Tlie law seems to be based on the Idea that a woman's best posses sion Is ber beauty and that to mar it does her a great Injury. There is another curious law. If person should be wounded in an en counter, the punishment to the offend er is fixed by the number of days bis victim has to stay In the hospital or under a doctor's care. A line is fixed at 40 days in the way of a geuorul divi sion. If .the injured man occupies more than 40 days In his recovery, the pen alty doubles up. The Explanation. One morning the readers of a certain newspaper were perplexed to see in type the announcement that "the Sco tus handed down an Important deci sion yesterday." The afternoon paper of the town, with which the morning paper for years bad held a bitter con troversy, Interesting none but them selves, laughed thut day, as the poets ay, "in ghoulish glee," end it was up to the morning paper the next day to explain that "the types" mdilo them ay that the Scotus did so and so when the telegraph editor should have known that that word was merely tho abbre viation of the telegrapher for supreme tourt of the United States. Municipal Ownership, Municipal ownership long ago paused nut of the stngo of theory and experi ment, If, In fact, It ever belonged there. Centuries before America wus discov ered public ownership of public utili ties was highly developed. The city of Rome 2,000 years ago possessed Its splendid public baths, Its superb aqueducts und .other utilities owned and muunged by the goverumutit. HE WORKED DESTRUCTION.

A light chain seenrely faatened on the cockatoo's leg promised safety, but he contrived to get within reach of my new curtain and rapidly devoured some half yard or so of a hnnd painted border, which was the pride of my heart. Then came an Interval of calm and exemplary behavior Which hilled me Into a false security. Cockle seemed to have but one object In life, which waa to pull out all his own feathers, nnd by evening the dining room often looked as though n white fowl had been plucked In I. I consulted a bird doctor, but aa Corkle'a health waa perfectly good nnd hla diet all that could be recommcuded, It wna auppoaed he only plucked himself for want of occupation, and firewood waa recommended aa a substitute. This answered very well, and he apent till leisure In gnawing atlcka of deal only when no one chanced to be In the room he used to uufaaten the swivel of hla chnln, leave it dnngllnft on the stand and deacend In aenrch f his playthings. When the fire h-.id not been lighted. I often found half the coals pulled out of tho grate and the firewood In splinters. At last, with warmer weather, both coals and wood were removed, so the next time Master Cockle found himself short of a Job be set to work on the dining room chnlra, first pulled out all their bright nails and next tore holes In the leather, through which he triumphantly dragged the stuffing. At one time he went on a visit for some weeks and ate up everything within hla reach In that friendly estab lishment.

And yet every one adores him. and he Is the spoiled child of more than one family. Coruulll. ARMORED COFFINS. The? Were Once Teed In n Church yard In Scotland. In the earlier half of the nineteenth century the practice of stealing bodies from the churchyards for the purpose of sale as subjects for dissection, which was known as "body snatching." waa for a time very rife. Various plans were made to defeat the nefarious and sacrilegious proceed ings of the "body snatehers," or "resur rectionists," as they were aometluiea called, a very common one being the erection of two or more amnll watch houses whose windows commanded the whole burying ground, and In which the friends of the deceased mounted guard for a number of nights after the funeral. A usual method of the grave robbers waa to dig down to the head of the coffin and bore In It n lnrge round hole by menns of a speclnlly constructed center bit. It was to counteract this maneuver that the two curious coftln like relics now lying on either side of the door of the ruined church of Aljor foyle. in Perthshire, wert constructed. They are solid masses of cast iron of enormous weight. When an interment took place one of these massive slabs was lowered by suitable derricks, tackles and chains on to the top of the coffin, the gravo was filled In. nnd there It was left for someiconalderable time. Later on the grave was opened and the Iron armor plate was removed and laid aside ready for another funeral. These contrivances still lie on the grass of the lonely little churchyard, objects of curiosity to the passing cy cllBt and tourist. Scientific American. Straw Horeeehoee. Straw Is put to strange uses In Ja pan. Most of the horses are shod with straw. Even the clumsiest of cart horses wear straw shoes. In their case the shoes arc tied around the ankles with straw rope and are made of the ordinary rice straw, brnlded so that they form a sole for tho foot about hnlf an Inch thick. These soles cost about a half penny per pair, and when they are worn out they are thrown away. Every cart has a stock of fresh new shoes tied to the horse or to the frout of the cart, and In Japan It was formerly the custom to measure dis tance largely by the number of horse shoes It took to cover the distance. So many horseshoes made a day's Jour ney, and the average shoe lasted for about eight miles of travel. Tha Lobster, A scientist has entered a protest against the use of the term "lobBter" as an epithet Implying lack of skill or courage. He says that lobsters on the Nova Scotlan coast draw up in battle array and fight for hours according to thoroughbred rules, the coast being lit tered with claws and other evidences of dismemberment when the struggle Is over. -Mtir Vlnllaa.
