However, policemen, detectives and others arc far too wise to t -press sus picions in case they ki'.v.' : ot::e idea they arc in the presence ' the lord of Germany. They treat him as they would treat any of the other fre quenters of the hall.

A iJor;Kar'n Jouri'.a'. One of the strangest newspapers published hero, writes a Paris corre spondent in the Mew York Tribune, is a daily journal, the circulation of which is confined exe,lu:,ively to the guild ofme.ndicints. The be;Tfrar.i of Paris hare their labor union and labor dues in the same way cs.cvery other trade. Only a limited nur.ibcr of hektograph copies of the journal, are issued and are distributed arnon the various .district headquarters of ;the metropolis. It contains tips for all sorts' of mendicants. ' There are com plete lists of the baptisms, weddings and funerals to..talm-i33n"A nnxJ?dn3rQ. that the be.frgar who reads the paper knows where to go if he wants to ply his trade successfully. For the ad vantage of beggar letter-writers a special column of the journal is set apart for noting the arrivals mid de partures of persons of known chari table tendencies. If the philant hropic millionaire should be surprised on re turning to Paris that pleas for as sistance at once begin to pour in upon him, he will be able to ascribe this phenomenon to the kind ofiices of the Peggers' Journal. Why IJo "Cuned" tho Cat. A short while ago a lady going up the slope on Charles street to the Wash ington monument was very much inter ested in the performance of a black eat which was hunting for a tender snar row on which to make a brea'cl'a -t. The cat proved to be a successful spe.'t. lie bagged the game and ran across the path between the lady and a pvntii man approaching from the oppD.ate di reetion. The gentleman was on his way down town to business. Av'hon he saw the cat he stopped short as il' he had been shot, turned around three times on his heel, said: "Dam that cat," and hurried away from the spot. The lady, who very well understood ail the actions of the cat, was so surprised by those of the gentleman that she be came fixed to the spot. She could not make it out until a black woman' in formed her that it "was mighty bad luck for a black cat to cross one's path, especially on the way to business in the morning." She also learned that the way to break tho spell of ill luck was to turn around three times aud "cuss" the cat. Palfitaore Sun. Willlnrt to Try. Presence of mind and willingness are good qualities in a servant. M. .Mar tins' new valet pi sussed these quali ties, though he certainly had his faults. A day or two after Jiap;i:;te came M. Martins inquired where be was. "lie went out and has not returned," some one said. Three d;:ys later llaptiste came back. "Where have you been?" his em ployer demanded. ".Monsieur. 1 had seen your house but once," replied ISeptiste, "and it took me all this time to Cud it again." "That is a very poor excuse," said M. Martins, sternly. "Is it?" "Certainly it is.' llaptiste was disturbed, but he re membered bii duty. "Very well, monsieur," hesaid, bland ly, "if you will step into the next rorjin and wait a moment I will try to iiud you another." Youth's Companion. Only Three. An honest mistake was that of a col ored man in the south, whose former master had allowed him the use of a piece of land on condition that he. tbe owner, should receive one-fourth of tho crop. When the corn was ripe, the laborer haulei three loads to his own house, and none to that of the white man. Then he went innocently up to the great house to return his landlord's wagon which he had used ia the haul ing. "Well, Frank, "-sa'd- the gentleman, "whore's my share of the corn?" "You ain't got none, sah," was the sympathetic reply. "Haven't got any! Why, wasn't I to have a fourth of all you raised?" "Yes, sah, but (ley wa'n't no fourth. Dere wa'n't but jes' my three loads!"

"Has this new arrangement reduced the cost of burial?" the reporter asked. "No. , On the other hand a funeral costs more now than at any time within a half century, at least," was tho reply. "As long as people insist on using wooden coffins a funeral will increase rather than deereasa in cost. This is duo to tho fact that Cno timber be comes scarcer every year.

"A man wiiila living nitty prefer cre mation after death, but there is some thing offensive in the thought of re ducing the remains of a dead person to ashes, which causes liveg friends to shrink from this method of disposing of tho dead. I suppose it is a somewhat similar feeling which prevents them from using the 'earth to esrl.h' casket. This style of eolilii casts from fifty dol lars up, according to the trimming used. While it disappears quickly, after being put under the ground, it is strong and answers every practical pur pose. "Embalming is also rapidly taking the place of tho old-fashi mod iee-b:.

During the famine, when the peasantry were living, or rather.dying, on bread made of pigweed, chaff and other equally nutritious and more noi some articles, they endured in submis sion. "God's will is at, tho bottom of it," said they. "He gave and He takes away." A writer in Temple Bar gives the fol lowing illustration of their fatalism, and tho excuses they invariably find for inaction: , Cno day, a Taissian village official was riding with mo in search of some strayed horses.? the black soil wa like dust, aud h,o sighed heavily as his mare ,sana!in tho light stuff.

Itut then came the dryness, and though mass was said in the fields, it went to nothing. And then we dug up the drunkards" "The what?" "The drunkards, your honor. Often it is that when tho drunkards are pulled out of their graves, and Hung into pools of water, that rain will come; we know not why. Hut not only rain came, but hail and fierce storms and lire, and withered the little that was grown. Then after that, dryness again, and now," he shrugged his shoulders, "the famine." ".Must there be famine?" I asked. "Surely," he said, with a smile, "the grain we have is soon eaten, and then what?" "Will no provision bo mado for the future?" "Who should make provision? Now we can buy much and oat much; after wards, well, tho little father will not see us die!" So depending on tho czar and public charity, they rest content in making no provision for the future.
