OLD PLAYMATES.
A Flensing Story of a Celebrated French
Sportsman.
The author of ' -Modern nunting',' in
La Nouvelle Revue, tells a pleasing
story of one of the oldest and most cel
ebrated Gportsmen of France, Prince
de Joinville. The' prince is perhaps
the "senior member" of hunting soci
ety in this country. He was hunting
in the Chantilly forest, "as the guest of
Tin A il' An Tn n li . .
His party met another -party which;
was following a deerin' the same for;'
est, and some . disorder . resulted." ." The"
prince lost track of the animal that he
was following, but he took the disap-"
pointmcnt philosophically, and set out
to find the deer again.
On the way he was stopped by an old
white-haired peasant, who told him
that the deer he was following had
.. 1 i il. ml. . c
pcL&uu uy niure i t-ueiiLiy. xtie eon oi
Louis Phillippe asked some simple
question, but as the old peasant replied
he looked at him keenly, seeming to
pay more attention to him than to his
words. Suddenly he stopped him.
"Wait! it seems to me that I know
you, friend!" he exclaimed.
"Yes. sir," replied the peasant, in his
old, cracked voice, which shook with
emotion-. "Oli, yes, we nave often
eaten cakes at 'Auntie Adelaide's.'"
It was sixty years since they had
been children together, but the varied
experiences of that time had not made
the prince forget his old playmate and
servitor,' and he delayed his quest for
the lost deer to renew the acquaint
ance. "
A REASONABLE OBJECTION. .
An Encllsti Cloraryman Who Protested
Against a Remarkable Name.
Sometimes in English country par
ishes, where the clergyman has been
accustomed to lyivc his own wajf, he
protests vigorously if the name pro--posed
for a child about to be christened
does not suit him. Occasionally, how
ever, he does so upon false premises.
James Payne writes in the Indepen
dent: - '
The late Dean Eurgon, when a
.curate in Berkshire, was requested by
a village couple to christen their boy
-"Venus," or, as they atlea it,"Vanus."
. -"Are you aware," he said, "that you
are asking something" ridiculous as
well as exceedingly wicked? Do you
suppose I am going to give a Christian
child, a boy, the name of a woman
in heathen mythology? How did cuch
a monstrous notion get into your
heads?"
"Please, sir," said the father, "we
want him called after his grandfather."
"And do you say his grandfather was
named Venus?'
I 'Yes, sir; there he is, sir."
Venus, hobbled out of the crowd.
"Do you dare to say you were "chris
tened Venus?" asked the indignant
& j
' :-"Well, no,-sir," was the respectful
answer, "I was christened Sylvanus,
but they always called me Vanus."
CUTTER-RIGGED YACHTS.
River Colne t!io 15iri!;lLica of the Grace
lul Urlti3h Cutter.
Pearl, and Louise were the first
yachts with the distinctive cutter-rig,
. writes Capt. A. .1. ICenealy in Outing.
. The river Colne was, in point of fact,
the birthplace of the cutter and of the
graceful cutter-stern.
The marquis of An glesey may be
said to have been the parent of Brit
ish yachting, and his'descendants'have
been glorious patrons of the sport.
The old marquis christened' his son,
Lord Alfred Paget, by dipping him
head first into the sea while a child in
long clothes-, from the deck of the
Pearl. Every yachtman knows what
Lord Alfred did for the sport in Eng
land, and how capitally the prince of
"Wales and he worked together in de
veloping it. Lord Alfred had the full
management of the prince's yachts,
Alexandria and Dagmar, both built for
his royal highness by John Harvey,
t Lord Alfred, .top,, was the - first, to
recognize the advantage of the auxil
iary yacht, and J6hn" Harvey' designed
for him the X ant ha, the first of her
kind ever built, and she was followed.

sey s boat, made famous by Lady Bras
sey's facile pen. '
Vitality of the Horsefly.
-The vitality of the small horsefly
after decapitation is as remarkable as
that of the snake that has undergone
the same process. He does not use his
wings, if the beheading has. been. done
neatly, so as not to injure him other
wise, -but walks about, stopping now
.and.theri for a "dry wash', rubbing his
legs togetner and cleanmcr his winers.
If touched, he will "side off. It "blown.
upon he will cling, tightly to avoid be'
ing carried away. This performance
he will continue for a quarter' of an
.hour or so.

GLORY SUKKASSING SOLOMON'S
"London's Lord Mayor Is a Gorgeous Crea
- tore "While Arrayed n Ills Robes.
The fountain of municipal honor in
England, eavs. the London Telegraph,
undoubtedly springs from "the Guild-51!
hall,' London, which justly claim to-be
accounted the most ancient of our
municipal halls, seeing that the lord
mayors of the last eight centuries are
with justice assumed to have proto
types in the . Roman prefect and the
Saxon fortreye or portgrave. For a
considerable number of years the robes
of the lord mayor.the -oourt of alder
men and the common councilors have
been settled with a precision that none,
save the most reckless of innovators,
would presume to disturb. The lord
mayor himself has his ""gold" robe for
the annual Guildhall banquet and for
the times when he proceeds & stte
'e"itTieftofhe new" law courts or to
the houses of parliament."; The alder-
tnen have their scarlet gowns, the
sheriffs their ""distinctive and very
handsome robes and chains, while the
common councilors rejoice in gowns
called "mazarines," it being generally
understood that mazarine is a term for
a dark blue color, although, according
to some lexicographers, mazarine,also
means a drinking vessel and an old
way of dressing fowls. Then, again,
when the sovereigu comes into the city
the lord mayor is bound to don a robe
of crimson or purple velvet, trimmed
with ermine. At the time of his in
vestiture, he wears a massive gold
chain, but when he is honored by re
election at the expiration of his term
of office he wears two chains. The
mace of silver gilt, surmounted by a
royal crown and the imperial arms, is
carried before the mayor by the' au
thority of the charter of Edward III.;
while the city possesses no less than
four swords, one called .the "Pearl,"
presented by Queen Bess when she
opened .the first royal exchange, and
so called from its being richly set with
pearls. This sword precedes the chief
magistrate on all occasions of rejoic
ing and festivity. The sword of state
is carried-'before the lord mayor as an
emblem of his sovereignity within the
city proper; the. "black" sword is used
on fast -days in Lent and at the death
of any member of the royal family;
while th'e fourth-sword is that placed
close to the lord mayor s chair at the
central criminal court.
A -RACE OF TOOTHLESS MEN.
Coming Generations Will Have to Mastl-
cate by Artificial Means.
There is reason to apprehend that
unless some cataclysm occurs to arxest
the progress of civilization our de
scendants will be as toothless as Eu
rpptolemus, king of Cyprus, described
by the historian Pliny as reduced to
masticate liis food with a structure of
solid bone, in lieu of teeth. This, at
any rate, in the opinion of the New
York Tribune, is the inference to be
deducted from the statistics recently
published by order of the British par
liament, demonstrating the alarming
ly small number of cases of in any way
sound dentition among the English
people. Of 4,000 children attending
the London public schools, there were
only 707 who had sound teeth; while
during a period of three months 506 Re
cruits were rejected by the medical de
partment of the army for purely den
tal reasons. Of course, part of this
state of affairs is due to neglect of the
digestion,' and of the teeth themselves,
a fact demonstrated by the statement
that all the girls who entered domestic
service from the London public schools
last ,year.live-sixths had never even
heard of cuch a thing as a toothbrush
-an assertion that has led- the educa
tional authorities to institute in many
of the metropolitan, schools what is
now known as the "toothbrush drill."
Decavof - teeth, has always attended
the advance of" civilization and each
barbaric invasion has been followed
by a recovery of sound teethin the
bid world. . Under the circumstances it
might be worth while .. to consider
whether the repeal of the Geary law
and the opening up of the United
States to a pacific invasion on the part
of the Chinese might not go far to im
prove the American jaw, which, ac
cording to medical experts; is in an
immeasurably -worse condition than
that of the English a .fact probably
due to our superior civilization.
PLUCKY YOUNG EELS.
Stow They Overcome the Obstructions in
; r Passing; Up the Thames.
Young eels? in passing up a river,
6how the most extraordinary, persever
ance in overcoming all obstruction.
The large floodgates sometimes fif
teen feet in height on. the Thames
might be supposed sufficfent to bar the
progress of a fish the size of a darning
needle, says Rod and Gun. But young
eels have a wholesome idea that noth
ing can stop them, and, inconsequence,
nothing dqes. Speaking of the way in
which they ascend floodgates and other
barriers, one '" writer says: "Those
which die stick . to the post; others,
which get a little '. higher, meet with
the same fate, until at last a layer of
them is formed which Enables the rest
to overcome the difficulty of the pass
age. " The mortality resulting'-from
such 'forlorn hopes'. greatly;. helps to
account for the difference in the num
ber of young eels on their upward mi
gration and.that of those which return
down stream in the autumn. In some
places these baby eels are much sought
after and are formed into cakes, which
are eaten fried. . , . ". - -
"Eels spawn like other fishes. For
long,' however, the most remarkable
theories were held as to their birth.
One of the old beliefs was that they
sprang from mud; a rival theory held
that young eels developed from frag
ments separated from their parents'
bodies by their rubbing against rocks.
One old author not only declared that
they came from May dew, but gave the
following recipe for producing them:
"Cut up two turfs covered with May
dew and lay them one upon tho other,
the grassy sides inwards, and then ex
pose them to the heat of the sun." In a
few hours there will spring from them
