A' Sad Leap Tear Story.
Leap year is with us once more, and if
reports axe true a number of Chicago's
young ladies have already proceeded to
make the most of it. However, there is
no story circulated which proves that
the comae of true love does not run
smooth even when directed by the mem
bers of the sex that is supposed to know
most about it.
"Let me tell you a story about my
friend 'Lill,' " said one of Englewood's
fairest daughters. "I don't suppose I
(ought to tell it, but the incident is one
' (that most men who have tried lovemafc
(ing will know how to appreciate. LOTs
beau, who came from Boston a year ago.
had been paying attention to her for
months and calling on her about two
nights a week.
"But he seemed to be so bashful and
so afraid of coming to the point that
she finally grew desperate and said to
me: 'You just wait till leap year comes
and I'll teach that bashful young man
a lesson. Such diffidence and such de
lay are wholly inexcusable.'
"Well, New Year's came and the
young man called. I expected Lill to
come down to my house the next morn
ing to tell me how she had happily set
tled matters, but she didnT come, so I
called on her in the afternoon. She ap
peared to be indisposed and melan
choly.
" 'What's the matter? I asked.
"Her eyes tilled with tears, and after
a little cry she said:
" '1 took him by the hand and said to
him: "Now, my boy, I'll show you how
we Chicago women do things. Will you
avail yourself of this opportunity to be
come my promised husband?" And he'
here she sobbed 'oh, the brutel he said.
"I can't, for I'm already engaged to a
girl in Boston.
" 'And what did you say thenr" I asked
sympathetically.
"Her eyes flashed as she replied, 'I said
to him, "Mr. Falsetto, there's the door,
and please be very quick about it,
too."" Chirngo Newtt.
A Black Cat in a Courtroom.
Toward the close of the trial of AI. F.
Kerr.of Crawf ordsville, Ind., for forgery,
an incident occurred which, while amus
ing, demonstrated - that the average
American still believes in the efficacy of
"signs." During a lull in the proceed
ings a strange black cat, with fierce,
glaring eyes, appeared in the doorway,
causing a solemn silence to fall over the
assembly. It paused, looked about, and
slowly swishing its tail to and fro ad
vanced toward the space between the
prisoner and the jury's box. The si
lence became oppressive, and the judge,
lawyers, jurors and prisoner craned their
necks and with open months gazed at
the creature. -
"Would the apparition approach the
prisoner to be touched?" If so the man
was innocent and would be freed.
. After standing as if transfixed for sec
onds it approached the prisoner, who
with a superhuman effort stretched
forth his hand and touched the glossy
fur. Immediately the cat gave a joyous
"meow" and disappeared. All were con
vinced that Kerr would go free. He was
acquitted. Cincinnati Enquirer.
Real IJabes in the Wood. I
"The two pretty little children of David
"Wismer, of Qnakertown, figured in the
role of the "Babes in the Wood" a few
days ago, but were rescued before the
birds had occasion to cover them up
with leaves. They suddenly took it in
their heads, while playing in the street,
to make a pilgrimage, and set out with
no further preliminaries than the prince
in the fairy tales. They came at last to
the road at Perkasie, . several miles
away, but still were unweary, and kept
on their journey over the hills. Wonder
ing farmers gaped at them as they
jpassed.
The little ones soon struck tho woods
and wandered around among the trees
until dusk deepened into evening, when
they composed themselves complacently
for slumber beneath- the overhanging
branches. Meanwhile . the frightened
father had spread tho alarm and was
fast on their heels. He traced his babes
to the woods, where he awoke them,
and took them home with him hal
frozen. Philadelphia Record.
Fashion in Dogs Covering.
There is a code of fashion in relation
to the garments worn by ladies' pet
dogs. Its latest edicts in regard to ca
nine fashions set forth that at breakfast
only a simple garment of blue or white
flannel should be worn, and a collar at
this hour of the day is considered vul
gar. -For the morning walk a close fit
ting coat of striped or spotted English
cheviot, with a mantle well covering the
chest, is correct, with a leading chain
and collar of antique silver. For the
afternoon drive the costume is of blue
or fawn cloth, with a collar of velvet
hung with tiny medallions, and for
evening dress the pet is arrayed in a
gown of velvet richly embroidered, and
has the family crest embroidered on his
collar. New York Sun.

The Book of 1891.
The last number of The Publishers'
Circular gives the usual analytic table
of books published in England during
1891. The grand total la 5,706, made up
of 4,429 new books and 1,277 new
editions. These figures show a slight
decrease on. those of the previous year, a
larger decrease on those of 1889, and a
very considerable decrease when com
pared with the grand total of 1888, which
was 6,591. ' There has been no materia
variation of recent years in the propor
tion of the several classes, except that
novels are still growing steadily. Since
18SU tne total number of novels (new ana
old) published in a year lias increased
from 580 to 1,216, or more than twofold,
and miscellaneous (including pamphlets)
has increased from 353 to 731, again
more than twofold.
On the other hand, arts, sciences and
illustrated works have decreased from
479 to only 116, or less than one-fourth:
and theology has decreased from 975, to
627. The annual output of poetry seems
to remain constant at between 100 and
170 volumes; while the new editions of
old poetry,, which come into competition
with contemporary verse, also remain
pretty constant between 40 and 70 vol
umes. London Academy.
- Thumb Rlnirs.
Men's thumb rings are no rarities to
collectors. Some of the Roman speci
mens must bave been cumbrous wear,
one in the Montfaucon collection, bear
ing the bust of Trajan's consort. Plotina,
measuring over three inches across. Mo
diseval chnrchmeu of high degree did
not allow "the largest, first and shortest
of the fingers' to go unadorned. A mas
sive gold ring was found upon the thumb
of the supposed skeleton of Hilary, bishop
of Chichester, who died in 11C9; and the
recumbent effigy of Bishop Oldham, in
Exeter cathedral, is remarkable for the
pressed together thumbs being inclosed
by a single ring.
When the shrine of St. Thomas a
Becket was robbed of its treasures, the
famous archbishop's thumb ring, given
to; him by the king of France, graced
with a ruby the size of a hen's egg, found
its way to the thnnib of bluff King Hal;
and as the humor of the king is always
voted just the thing, we may bo sure the
royal hand was not the only one so
docked at court. Mayors and aldermen
imitated their betters. "When 1 was
about thy years. Ha"," says the fat
knight, "1 was not an eagle's talon in
the" waist; I could have crept into an al
derman's thumb ring." Chambers Jour
