Ha Wonttn of Hungary.
The women of Hungary regard
mall waist as tbc greatest possible
beauty, and they will endure anything
in order to put on an appearance of be
ing small waisted. Tight lacing 1b car
ried on to an extraordinary extent, and
the waist is compressed by force until
one would think that tbe owner could
hardly breathe. Yet in this confined
state the women will plunge Into the
wildest of Hungarian dances, known
as the czardas, and prance frantically
like ballet dancers until at the end
they- sink, gasping, exhausted and well
nlgb suffocated, on a sofa. As they
grow older most of these slim beauties
become enormously stout, and' tben
they are regarded as quite old. The
Hungarians, though they resemble the
Turks In many ways, have not the
Turkish admiration for fat women or
the English admiration for elderly
made up belles. Hungary Is a land of
mim young women, and when tbey
lose their figure tbey lose their attrac
tiveness and their power. Modem' So

Humor at Funerals.
In "Other Days" William Winter,
the famous dramatic critic, tells how
Ue and Joseph Jefferson were atnontf
the pallbearers nt Mct'ullougb's fu-m-riil.

Mr Winter, "lie glanced along the Hue

group of aeiiunlntnnecK bow he had ob
tained n series of pictures showing a
celebrated massacre that had once
taken place at a western army post
In the days when Indian warfare was
a horrible reality instead of an exhibit
on a Broadway stage.
"The commander of the post," he
said, "had a detachment of soldiers
and another of Indians re-enact the
scene for us, dressed exactly as In the
old days, so oar macbines conld secure
every detail the onslaught of tbe In
dians, tbe defense by the white sol
diers, tbclr massacre and tho destruc
tion of the fort."
"It may be very Interesting," said
the kindly citizen, "but I sbould not
care to see It In even a picture."
Tbe sweet young thing listened with
wide eyes.
"And did tbey really kill the white
soldiers for yon?" she asked, breath

Two Arctio Enemies.
Since the beginning of time there
probably has been enmity between the
K-lnr bear and the walrus. Except for
the walrus, bruin's reign over the arc
tic, regions has been almost unchal
lenged since the race of mammoths
passed. All tbe hardy flesh eaters that
inhabit the bleak, unfertile northland
are his natural prey. But most' of all
he depends upon the seals and sea
Hons for his food. There Is only one
animal that Is powerful enough to
defend Itself and offspring against tbe
polar bear's attack, the huge and cum
- brous walrus, but' Its movements are
so slowr aud awkward wben out of
the wdter that often it Is Impossible

"Yon bet I was," answered the young

His Hunt For Home.
On one occasion De Pacbinann, tbe
famous pianist, with his nervous and
irritable temperament, was summoned
to appear before Queen .Alexandra at
Buckingham palace. 1 He Immediately
adopted anarchism as his political
faith aud obstinately refused to go.
Ills friends labored with him for hours
and at last persuaded him not to com
mit an impertinence which would nev
er be forgiven by tbe English people.
Finally be was dispatched In a cab.
The night wore on to morning, and
the frantic wife of the pianist and his
friends could learn nothing of what
bad become of him. At laBt a forlorn
looking cab drove up to tbe house,
and Do Pacbinann dismounted. On
leaving tbe palace he bad forgotten
where be lived and could only tell the
cabmuu that It was in a square wltb

His Measure.
"A few friends." relates Mr. James
Molr in the Draughts World, "were
chatting with Wyllle, the checker
champion, In a club after one of bis
days of exhibition play In Glasgow
when a youth, slightly under the Influ
ence of John Barleycorn, threatened
to monopolize the conversation, blow
ing his own horn and giving out In no
uncertain language that he considered
himself the equal of Wyllle. Tbe old
man took no notice of blm for a time,
but, occupying tho usual five minutes
In considering the move, quietly asked
the youth to remove his hat (not more
than a six and a half-size), then sub
stituted his own which was a- large
one and went well down over the
young braggart's nose and, casting
bis eye around the company, -said
scornfully, 'That's his measure!' The
company enjoyed tbe retort so much
that the youth was glad to mske .
