Sardou, Id order to be present at th execution of Tropman In January, 1875, spent the night before with La Roquette, the prison director. In bis description he says: "At daybreak the guests went out upon tbe cold, bleak execution place, where the guillotine had already been erected. Tbe 'be draggled crowd, which had spent the night In drinking places, sang ribald songs and from time to time shouted for Deibler, the executioner, who mcnnwhlle was expMluInt; the mechan ism. Tbe basket In which the head whs to drop was brought, aud while looking at it I was horrified to see tbe lid arise aud a humnu form emerge.

Why Blinds Were Drawn. Tbe Edinburgh landlady of the sev enties who astounded James Payn by her stern determination to have the blinds drawn closely down on the Sab bath was but carrying on 4he tradi tions of her great-grnndpnrenls. Ti.e Scot of the arly elghleeutb century had a reason for drawing bis blinds on Sunday. Mr. Thompson In Vis "Weaver's Craft" gives it. "Son tlnies tbe minister himself." he wrote'. "when he got a colleague to preach for him would make tbe rounds, accom panied by an elder, to spy with his own eyes the sins of tbe absentees. Here one man is found romping with his bairns, another as tbe minister peeped through the window was de tected kissing his wife, two men were found drinking ale, and one was found with bis coat off. as If he were going to work, and still another was seen eating a hearty dinner. All were pull ed nn hpfore the npflalon of thn kirk aud repentance forced upon each." London Standard. Bread and Cheese. A couple advanced In years got mar ried lately. Tbe husband had a room In tbe house securely locked, the inside of which his wife bad never seen, and, belug curious of Its contents, she begged again and again to see the room. At last he consented, and, lo and be hold, tbe room was full of whole cheeses! He explained matters by telling her that for every sweetheart be bad In bis young days be bought a cheese. His wife began to cry. "Don't cry, dear," be said. "I've had no sweethearts since I met you." "It's not that," she replied, still sob bing. "I only wish 1 bad been as thoughtful as you and bought a loaf of bread for every man that kissed me. We could have bad bread and cheese enough to last us all our days." Lon don TIt-BIts. Trouble For Creditors. Even the simplest law transactions seem to be beyond tbe comprehension of some people. An old farmer went Into a grocer's shop a short time ago. ordered a sovereign's worth of goods and when they were ready for deliv ery In id down a five shilling piece In payment thereof. Tbe shopkeeper called out, "Here, this isn't right!" as tbe customer start ed to leave. , "Oh, yes, that's all right." replied tbe man. "I've got permission from tbe judge to pay 6 shillings In the pound." A heated discussion revealed that the man had lately settled an Insol vency upon this basis and expected to continue that method indefinitely. When he was shown bis mistake be was Tery Indignant and evidently con sidered himself a much abused man. London Globe. 8he Wasn't Superstitious. "Mary, Mary." cried Mrs. Johnson to her maid.' "what shall I do? I've just bad a most dreadful accident and don't know what's going to happen. I've broken my new hand glass, and you know how unlucky it is to break a looking glass. It means seven years' unhapplness." "Lor. mum." replied Mary, "don't you set no heed on that. Look at me. I'm not fretting, and I've just broken the large pier glass In tbe drawing room." London Fun.

The Amerloan barn danoe, now one f thM leading novelties ot tbe London tall I'onmii, has been Introduced in this tuntry. Several society women star tled the community with "8. R.

It' Is a mistake to Imagine that ani mals are prevented by instinct from eating injurious food. A chicken will drink paint; a cow partakes of water in which noxious chemicals have been washed; ducks cheerfully swallow snails and choke themselves in the process. No; animals, like children, need watching. Recently numerous cases of poison ing in ducks, which followed the con sumption of cabbage leaves, have at tracted much attention. A few hours after feeding poisoning has manifest ed Itself by loss of appetite, great weakness, tottering steps and some times death. From time Immemorial ducks have thrived on cabbage leaves. The poultry farmers were greatly puz zled. Then It was discovered that various caterpillars were concealed In the cab bage leaves; hence these tears. But tbe point is that, far from Instinctive ly detecting any danger and behaving accordingly, the ducks consumed great quantities of tbe leaves with much ap parent relish. London Answers. . Pleasure and Sacrifice. An alert little five-year-old was visit ing a city park with her mother for tbe first time. She bad noticed the beautiful red and white swun boats as they passed through in the morning, and her mother had promised they should come back after tbe shopping was done and have a ride. Shortly after dinner they stood on the bridge over tbe lagoon watching the boats below and listening to the cry of tbe barker as he tried to Induce tbe passing crowds to patronize bis swan boats. But when her mother started toward the bont landing little Elsie declared very vigorously that she did not want to go at all and. as her mother urged her. broke forth In tears. This BUdden fear was so different from her former eagerness that her mother could not understand it until she noticed the boatman's call. He was crying: "Come along! Come along! Ride clear round the pond. Only 0 cents for Indies and gents! Children thrown in!" Apples as Omens. In parts of England many quaint su perstitious still center round tbe apple. Apples bung on strings and twirled be fore tbe fire are said to fall off In the order thut the marriages of the vari ous owners will proceed. An apple eateu before a looking glass is sup posed to give a view of the Inquirer's future husband, who will be seen ieep lng over milady's shoulder, feel safe ly taken from an apple, tossed three times round tbe beud and thrown to tbe ground unbroken forms tbe first letter of a future lover's name. A more recent, though hardly more seri ous, custom necessitates a bowl of wa ter in which are floating a number of apples. Mothers must drop forks Into tbe bowl from a distance of about four feet. If the fork pierces au apple tbe feat Is believed to protect the perform er's -tilldrn from catching cold. Lon don Senilis.

A dinner gathering bad all been ask ing conundrums. "Who killed his brother Cain?" asked Burne-Jones. Morris fell Into tbe trap at once. "Abel!" be shouted. Later In the day be came In laugh ing.
