A party of German peasants set ont for the christening of a new baby, the baby being swaddled and wrapped in the nsual - manner. The . way was long to the church and the weather was cold; indeed, snow lay on the ground. The anxiety of the christening over the whole party parents, sponsors and friends adjourned to the village inn to warm and cheer themselves with schnapa, or what the Londoner terms, "a drop of something short." They then set off on their return home lightly and gayly, and their hearts being merry within them they essayed a snatch or two of song and a step or two of dance. Home was at length reached, and the interesting christened bundle was laid on the table. The whole party parents, sponsors and friends stared agape and in silence; there was the pillow, the ribbons and the bows all complete, but where was the baby? . Some one ventured to raise the bundle; it was quite limp and empty! Baby was "gonel Back the whole party hurried on its lonely track, and baby -was found asleep in the snow, about midway be tween ttie church and the village. He was a sturdy child, and the story runs ' -that he escaped with a violent sneeze or two, which, it is . said, the anxious pa rents strove to allay by popping him into the oven. .'There can be. no doubt hat the German child that could sur- .vive the; pillow, and the snow,' and the ven must have been sturdy indeed. Strand Magazine. Electricity In Europe. ; ; Instead of leading the van, we are from ten to fifteen years behind Europe. Even in our own field of electrical meth ods, as a prominent American electrician assured ; me in Paris, we are now five , years' behind the continent.. He declared that the difficulties our American cor porations still , complain about, when i asked to bury their telegraph, telephone and . lighting wires, were all met and vanquished, in Europe several years ago, and; that our , fellow countrymen insist upon, remaining in a state of invincible ignorance rather than learn anything from the technical and scientific achieve ments of Europe. But perhaps he stated the case too strongly. Doubtless we shall in time learn to be ashamed when we come to a realizing sense of the fact that the one city of Paris has at its command a larger and more brilliant array of engineering and architectural talent than all the im portant cities of the United States taken together can show, and that many a mall European town is better supplied in this respect than many a large Amer ican city. Dr. Albert Shaw in Century. . The Way aa Artist Reasons, Here is a characteristic story about the great Parisian man milliner: A laxly of high position once ventured to remon strate with the great man because he had charged her 120 for a ball dress. 'The material,' she said, "could be bought for twenty pounds, and surely the work of making up would be well paid with five pounds more." - "Madam." replied the milliner, in bis loftiest manner, "go to M. Heissonier. the painter, and say to him, 'Hera is a oanvas. value a shilling, and here are colors, value four shillings. Paint me a picture with these colors on that canvas and 1 will pay yon one and threepence. What will he say? He will say, 'Mad am, that is no payment for an artist.' 1 say more. 1 say, if you think my -terms too high, pay me nothing and keep the robe. Art does not descend to the pettiness of the higgler." London Tit-Bita, Over One Hundred and Fifty Tears Old. ' A man resides at David, in the prov ince of Chiriqui, Isthmus of Panama, who is one hundred and fifty-one years old, according to his own statement, but his neighbors claim that he is older, and that a document, is in existence which be signed 142 years ago. He works hard very day on his coffee plantation, and is in excellent health. Philadelphia Ledger. Swimming is a tonic and bracing ex ercise. It assists in the development of the muscular system, and exerts a favor able influence on the bodily functions, such as digestion, nutrition, respiration, circulation and innervation. It is ex cellent in getting the body, in what sporting men call "condition." Aside from the physical advantages, rwimming gives moral courage. The frequently quoted "I do hot pin my faith upon your sleeve," is traced in sentiment to feudal times, when the par tisans of a leader used to wear his badge pinned upon their sleeves. ; Sometimes these badges were changed for specific . purposes, and . persons learned to doubt, hence the phrase, "You wear the badge, but I do not intend to pin my faith on your sleeve."

Arrested, Then Married. Monday William Jones and Chester Smith, two young Canastota men, came to Utica to enjoy a day's pleasure. They devoted the day to seeing the sights and expended their money in various ways. They thereupon ' decided to pawn two watches which were in their possession, and by attempting to do this they fell into the clutches of the law upon sus picion. At the police station they said their sweethearts, Minnie Perry and Hattie Dailey, of Canastota, had given them the watches, and Chief of Police Dagwell used the telephone to find ont whether the story was true. The young women immediately swore out warrants for the arrest of the young men, claim ing they had simply loaned them the watches, and United States Marshal J. E. Stimson came to Utica Tnesday and took the twain back to their native town. They were arraigned before Justice Northrop, and the young women were not able to establish their charge of lar ceny. It appeared, however, that while they had given their hearts freely and wholly to the young men, they had only loaned them the watches, but the crime of larceny was not proven, and the young men were discharged from custody. At this point of the proceedings a con sultation took place. Remorse was dis played on both sides, and some one of the four proposed that the whole affair could be nicely arranged in a few minutes by a couple of weddings. The parties most interested agreed to this pleasant way out of the mess, and Justice North rop tied the double knot with dispatch. Miss Dailey became the bride of ' Mr. Jones and Miss Perry was wedded to Mr. Smith. Utica Observer. Ha Kept His Youth. There was one man in New London before the college boat races had ended who was a refreshing treat to those who were in the Connecticut town. He had a 'son who was rowing in one of the big university boats, and he was an example of the paternal college spirit which may grow old, but which seldom dies. Here was a man sixty years old, who spent three weeks in New London following college oarsmen from one end of the town to the other You might see him with a couple of young men whose arms were locked in his. No years could rob him of the sentiment which hung around his memory of his college days. He was an undergraduate again with the. undergraduates who were classmates of one of his sons. Whenever he saw a college man whom he knew, whether the youngster were 100 or 500 yards away, the old man would hurry off, crying alter the other. "Halloa, old man, wait a minute." " That college boy forty years a graduate was one of the most popular men to be found near the famous old four mile course on the historic Thames. New York Tribune. - - An Indiana Snake Charmer. Joseph Freibur, of Cincinnati; has ac quired a reputation in this vicinity as a snake charmer. Yesterday was his first opportunity to display his powers. He and Samuel Benz hired a rig, and ac companied by Mrs. Benz drove to Tas well. seven miles distant. En route they alighted to gather some wild raspberries, when they were attacked by rattlesnakes. They were in a rattlesnakes' den. A' small terrier which accompanied them was bitten, and almost Instantly swelled to twice his size. Mr. and Mrs. Benz fled and called for Mr. F. to follow, but he stood his ground, and the snakes, which appeared to gather from every quarter, began to huddle round his feet and act as if they had found a long lost friend. . Mr. F. now picked up one and ordered Mr. B. to get an old barrel at a house near by. This was procured and Mr. F. put the reptiles into it and brought them back to English. While in English Mr. F. gave several exhibitions of his power over the snakes, such as wrapping them round his neck and body, and stirring them around in the barrel with his naked arm. Indianapolis Sentinel. A Statue of Andreas Hoter. The emperor Francis Joseph has vis ited the sculptor Natter's studio to in spect the statue which he is completing of Andreas Hofer, the heroio Tyrolese who defended his country and was shot by the French in 1809. The statue is to be the central figure of a monument to be erected on ..Mount Isel, facing Inns bruck, with a tablet bearing the inscrip tion, "Fur Gott, Kaiser and Vaterland." The figure of the handsome peasant in the picturesque Tyrolese costume will stand bearing on high the Austrian flag. The bearded face surmounted by the simple broad brimmed hat is copied from a good picture of Hofer taken dur ing his life, and now the property of the Count of Meran. who has lent it to the sculptor. The emperor was very much pleased with the statue of the popular national hero. London News. : A Companion Hero. '. A day or two before Frederick Brokaw lost his life there was enacted at Wash ington, Pa., a scene more tragic and not less heroio than that. Walter Jones, aged fourteen years, and three younger companions went in bathing and got be yond their depth.- Jones could swim, the others could not. But, instead of saving himself, as he could easily have - done, he set about trying to rescue his drowning companions. He succeeded in piloting one of them safely to shore and was in the act of landing the others when the death grin -of the boys about , him bore him down and they all three perished together. Pittsburg Commer cial Gazette, s - '. A Cow's Motherly Love Re tray' Bar Calf, In a pasture on a farm in East Hart ford; recently, one of the cows had a calf which . no one of the farm hands was able to find the day after its birth. A . search proved a failure until some one suggested a novel scheme. It was to . bring a dog into the lot, when, in all ; probability, the -cow would return to her calf to defend, it, , The dog was brought, : and sure though the cow started for a clump of bushes, and among them the , calf was found, where the leaves had j concealed it. Hartford OourauL A Vary Hungry Frenchman. Fin de 6iecla in everything', Paris has discovered that she is the proud possessor of the very latest thing in cannibals a man who eats his own flesh. A Dolice- man on duty on the Boulevard a day or two ago was astonished to see an itin erant vender of some commodity or other deliberately and without apparent Buffering cut off a long strip of the mus cular part of his left arm with a pair of scissors. This eccentric individual, who is only twenty years of- age and goes by the name of Leon, was taken to the po lice station, where it was discovered that he bad in a similar manner removed large slices of flesh from his thighs and calves. . So far as could be gleaned from the poor fellow's incoherent talk he has for six months past been under the influence of a mad desire to eat the body of a girL He related how on many occasions he had followed little children with an open knife concealed in his hand, ready to cut off and devour a portion Of their flesh, and how he had just, and only just, control enough to prevent him from car rying out his desire. His mania, how ever, remained, and in order to satisfy it he had recourse to his own limbs, which are mutilated 6hockingly. This extraordinary case of mental aberration is being studied carefully by the medical authorities at the Sainte Anne hospital. London Graphic. Free Delivery of Newspapers. "I believe in the extension of the free delivery system," said Mr. Wanamaker. "Free delivery is like gas or water to a town. It increases its metropolitan character. It adds to its attractions as a business and a residence community. I believe that the introduction of the free delivery extends the circulation of newspapers and increases letter writing. It is not convenient for a man to go to the postofHce for his newspaper. "If he could get it delivered at his door it would be a welcome visitor. But take a, young couple, for example, living in a small town! The husband is at work all day. The wife does not care to go to the postoffice, or perhaps she cannot go, especially if there, is a baby in the house. That man would like to take a daily paper perhaps. But he is too tired to go to the postoffice for it every evening, and so he takes a weekly paper or no paper at alL , "As I said, the extension of a free de livery system would increase letter writ ing too. .It. is astonishing to me how hard it is to convince the people that you can increase the business of the post office." Washington Cor. Philadelphia Press. ' ' . The Reported Care of Cancer. Dr. H. J. Hardwicke, surgeon to the Sheffield Public Hospital for Skin Dis eases and the Ear and Throat hnanitn.1. jSwho has studied for twenty years the treatment of cancer and lupus, believes that he can ' now cure both diseases without resorting to the surgeon's knife. He has been ' in communication with Professor von Moretz and finds that his system is similar to that recently an nounced by that gentleman to the Soci ety of Physicians at Vienna. . Dr. Hardwicke has hitherto for vari ous reasons refrained from publicly ex plaining his treatment, but having now almost brought Ms method to a state of perfection he is anxious and willing to place the details before such of his med ical brethren as express to him any de sire to be acquainted with them. With this object in view he will be glad to in vite such would be inquirers to visit a selected number of cases now under treatment and carefully examine them, and also to examine a number of persons who have been cured during the past eighteen years. Pall Mall Gazette. Venerable Pre la tea. ft The announcement that Bishop Hunt ington at the age of seventy-two asks for assistance because the duties of bis.' dio cese are beyond bis ability to discharge) them, reminds us that this active and indefatigable prelate is one of our ven erable men. Bishop Clark, who is tha acting diocesan in Massachusetts today, ie over eighty and exhibits but few of the marks of old age. Bishop Coxe is already several years beyond threescore and ten, and is still a vigorous and active man. Bishop Williams, of Connecticut, the present primate of the Episcopal church, is very nearly seventy-five and is still in charge of his diocese, though his duties fall heavily upon him. Bishop Littlejohn, of Long Island, is not far from seventy, and must be classed among these older men. Boston Herald. "" Mew York. Produces the Most Beans. "Can I tell you something about beans?" said B. B. Smith, the bean broker, to a reporter on the floor of the Produce exchange. "Well, 1 think I can. About the acreage it is larger in New York state than it has been for the last ten years, and the Empire State pro duces practically all of the beans pro duced in the United States. Last year the domestic crop was small, and the foreigners made a handsome thing by sending their beans here. But this year I think the New York farmers will get the benefit of the market.'' New York Tribune. " " A Curious Freak of LlgnAnlng. To strike and shatter into splinters a dozen telegraph poles, one after the other, is rather curious. Lightning did this on Cemetery Hill road, near Coates ville. It did not select a pole here and there, but took the twelve in regular or der, and splitting some in two it shat tered into splinters the others. It is quite a sight, to see them as they stand in their present condition. West Ches ter Pa.)

He saw what looked like the hard shell back, of a monster set turtle. A moment later he saw the head and eyes of the strange object. As tht head protruded above the surface the water was churned into foam by tht flapping of what appeared to be long flippers. The head of the marine animal was covered with protruding horns. The monster came toward the boat and apparently meditated an attack, when the captain hit at it with an oar. It paid no attention to this assault, but ran its head against the boat with a force that caused the skiff to keel over. The captain weighs over 200 pounds, and managed to keep the boat right side up. Then the fight became, fierce. The tide was carrying the contestants toward the breakwater. One after the other the oars were broken by the captain by striking on the hard back of the monster. Final ly, without anything to defend himself, the captain managed to throw a noose over a projecting rock on the breakwater and so pulled himself ashore. The monster continued its attacks on the boat, and - remained in the vicinity for ''some time after the boat had been drawn up out of the way. When last seen the ferocious marine monster was churning the water into foam as it sped off toward Gardiner's island. " The cap tain puts the monster down as a sea tur tle, bnt of enormous size.
