A STORY OF MEISSONIER.
The Painter's Two Breakfasts With a
Stingy Art Patron.
Melssonier once got acquainted with
a Parisian grnndee, very wealthy, very
fond of posing as an art patron, but
slightly penurious. One day Melsso
nier, breakfasting with t lie grandee,
was struck by the beauty of the tex
ture of the tablecloth. "One could
draw upon it," he remarked, and, suit
ing the action to the word, he produced
a pencil and made on the smooth,
snowy nnp a wonderfully able sketch
of a man's head. The particular table
cloth in question never went to the
wash. The "economical swell" had
the head carefully cut out of the dam
ask and hastened to frame nnd glaze
his prize. A few weeks afterward
Melssonier agnln breakfasted with his
patron and found by the side of his
plate at the corner of tbe table assign
ed to blm a neat little sheaf of crayo.is
and holders, with a penknife and some
India rubber.
While the guests, at tbe conclusion
of the repast, were enjoying their cof
fee and cigarettes the host saw with
delight "from the corner of bis eye"
that Messonier was hard at work on
the tablecloth, this time with a su
perb little full length of a mediaeval
halberdier. The party broke up, the
guests departed, and the "economical
swell" rushed back to the dining room
to secure his treasure. Rut, alas, the
painter had for once shown himself
r.-i economical 11s his patron! lie hail'
m:-.do disastrously good use of the pea
Utilie, and one corner of the tablecloth
was gone, halberdier and all!

IJi.sniarck was once spoken of lu that
connection, and by Napoleon too! It
was during tho detent Ion of the do

1871, when Napoleon and soule mem
bers of his staff were discussing the
probability of Napoleon rcasceuding
the French throne and news of the do
ings of the commune was brought In,
"Horrible too horrible!" exclaimed
le petit empereur.
And then after a long silence he re
sumed, "I know a rfinn who if on the
French throne would be master of
Germany in six months."
"His nam, sire?" asked his nephew,
Prince Murat '
"Bismarck," replied the emperor as

A Curious Barometer.
A curious barometer is said to be
used by the remnant of the Aranca
nian race which Inhabits the southern
most province of Chile. It consists of
the castoff shell of a crab. ' The dead
shell Is white In fair, dry weather, but
tbe approach of a moist atmosphere is
Indicated by tbe appearance of small
red spots. As the moisture In tbe air
Increases the shell becomes entirely
red and remains so throughout the
rainy season.
Iridium.
Iridium Is a hard, brittle, silver

metal known and is vsed for pen

and points of scientific implements
liable to wear. Its specific gravity is

HIS VERY WORDS.
The Property Man Cheerfully Quoted
Them to Beerbohm Tree.
Beerbohm Tree, the English actor,
had a comical experience on bis first
appearance as the corpulent FalstufT.
In the lust act he had arranged that
FalstalT, disconcerted by gibes and
buffets of the fairies In Windsor for
est, should make one herculean effort
to climb the oak tree. The pegs that
were to serve as supports for that tree
were always conspicuous by their ab
sence. On the morning before the per
formance Mr. Tree was told they
should positively be fixed on tbe tree.
The morning came, but with It no pegs.
Eloquence was stilled; even Invective
faltered. He pointed to the tree and
with the cnlm of despair blurted out
to the defaulter, "No pegs!"
Such an ejaculation, spoken more in
sorrow than In anger, would, he hoped,
appeal to that last remnant of con
science which even the papier tnnche
bosom of a projierty man might be
supposed to retain. In the evening
there was a 'dress rehearsal, but still
no pegs could be Been. Mr. Tree's
form quivered beneath the padding
with pentup emotions, and in a torrent
of passion and a voice shaken by right
eous wrath be exclaimed:
"Where are those pegs?"
'Tegs pegs!" exclaimed the proper
ty master, with exasperating affability.
"Why, guv'uor, what was your words
to me this morning? 'No pegs. And
there ain't none." London Tit-Bits.
WATER EXPERTS.
Feats of Diving That Are Performed
by Swedish Swimmers.
The Swedes delight in "combination
diving," and two men will perform
many clever fents together. One of
the most grotesque of these is when
one man Btnnds upright on a spring
board and tightly clasps another man's
body round the waist, holding blm
head downward and putting bis own
head through tbe man's legs. When
the upright man springs from the
board he throws his legs into the air
so that the two men, clnsping each oth
er tightly round the waist, turn a som
ersault, and when they reach tbe wa
ter tbe man who started upside down
arrives feet foremost
The handspring dive is a very effec
tive specialty of Swedish swimmers.
The performer takes off from the div
ing board with hands Instead of feet,
turning bis body in order to descend
feet foremost or somersaulting to ar
rive head downward.
Very graceful also is the back dive.
In which the spring is made backward,
tbe body turning toward tbe spring
board. Double somersault dives are made
from platforms thirty to fifty feet
high, the diver making two turns in
the air and entering tbe water feet
foremost. London Saturday Review.

general condemnation of this store

seat by tbe hotel stove.
"Come on, boys," he said.
And be led a party of a half dozen
lawyers aud Judges to tbe general
store.
"Let me bave a quart of cider." be
said to tbe storekeeper.
"Yes, sir," was the cordial reply.
"And which grade, sir tbe ripe, at 3
cents; the mellow, at 2, or the new, at
1?"
"It doesn't matter which grade, mis
