THE PROFESSOR SWOONED.
Because the Touuic Ladles Lauched at
Ills Attempts to Speak English.
A rather severe lesson in manners
and hospitality was given by Sig.
Macchi, commissioner-peneral of the
midwinter fair for Italy, to the twen
ty or thirty stenoffrapliers who assem
bled in an office of the Mills building
the other evening to listen to the
views of Prof. Ifuz2oni, a teacher of
shorthand in one of the leading insti
tutions of Italy, says the San Francis
co Examiner.
The object of the meeting was to
take steps toward an exhibit of the
different systems of stenography in
this country at the fair, the ul
timate aim being the perfecting of
the system embodying the best ele
ments of the leading systems now in
vogue.
Prof. Buzzoni, who speaks very little
English, began rending an address.
but was from time to time Interrupted
by the younger female portion of his
audience, who were unable to suppress
a desire to laugh outright.
Sig. JIacelii at last asked the speaker
to desist and, calling attention to the
professor's lack of proficiency in the
English language, spoke of America's
boasted hospitality and generosity to
strangers, and so shamed his listeners
that quiet was restored.
But his treatment had been too much
for the teacher of stenography, who
had been growing paler with anger as
he proceeded and who at the conclu
siosion of his compatriot's words
swooned outright.
A doctor was hastily summoned and
restoratives were administered, but it
was over an hour before the patient
recovered sufBciently to be conveyed
to his hotel.
Much to the regret and mortification
of the few who listened attentively to
the professor's address, the meeting
was adjourned indefinitely.
"The outrage that has been commit
ted to-night," said Sig. Macchi, "and
the lack of manner and breeding
shown would be hard to find in all of
Italy and I am afraid that this pro
posed movement inaugurated by one
of my country's most prominent teach
ers has received a death blow, as Prof.
Buzzoni is of a high-strung, nervous
disposition and must feel deeply the
laughter and disorder that greeted his
efforts, "y.
FIRST SIGHT OF RED HAIR.
How It Aroused the Wonder of Colorado
IndUn. Year. Afro.
"I was in Colorado in 1875," said a
resident of Canon City, Col., to a re
porter for the Washington Post, "be
fore the influence of the white man
was utterly dominant. The Indians
around what is now Meeker had seen
but little of the white man and knew
comparatively nothing of him or his
ways or habits except from hearsay
and tradition. I mean to say that there
were many of them to whom the white
man was as much a curiosity as an In
dian would be to a New York Bowery
boy. As you see, nature saw fit to
give me a shock of carmine colored
hair. When I first went amonT the
Indians they all thought it was painted,
just as they universally paint their
own bodies and faces and heads. An
old chief came up to me one day and
looked at my hair very carefully.
Ugh,' said he, and then turning to the
guide who had our party in charge, he
asked him to ask me when; I got the
kind of paint that would color and not
be greasy or look dauby. The guide
told him that my hair wasn't painted
but he wouldn't believe him. He came
over and once more closely scrutinized
my locks, running his hand over them
and then looking at his fingers. I
didn't know what he was after. I had
an idea that he was calculating how
nice my red scalp would look hung
about hiB dirty old body, and was in'
clined to resent it. Our guide, how
ever, laughingly told me what the old
chief had said. Two or three more of
the bucks gathered about us, and they
and the guide had a powwow. Finally
the guide asked me if I would object
to putting water on my hair. He said
the Indians wouldn't believe it wasn't
painted until they saw that water
wouldn't wash the color out. Of course,
I took some water and rubbed it on my
hair and then showed my hands to
them. It took four or five days of won
dering examination to convince them
that I hadn't found some particular
fine paint and got myself up in a bright
suit of hair."
TWO ROYAL DIAMOND FLUSHES.
Held at tbe Bame Time in One Room and
Secured In the Kuin. U ay.
All the San Francisco men about
town who play cards are talking about
the two remarkable hands held a few
evenings ago at the Pacific-Union club,
and the doctrine of chances is being
calculated to ascertain how soon such
a coincidence might be expected to
happen again. The general belief, ac
cording to the Examiner, is that no
such hands were ever held simultan
eously before since poker was first
played, and that no one now living
will ever see them so held again.
For
the benefit of the truly good it may be
titrf that a rnvii Hush is the ti I'licst
hand in poker. It consists of
quence of ace, king, queen, knave and
ten in any one suit. As may be sup
posed, the appearances of this hand
are like the visits of angels and not
much more frequent than dentition in
hells. Considerable poker is played ut
the Pacific-Union, but a royal flush had
not been seen in months until the oc
currence of the other night. There are
four tables in a row in the poker-room
at the club. Four men were sitting at
each of the two middle tables. At
identically the same time one of the
players at each of the two table held a
royal flush in diamonds. And as if this
coincidence were not sufficiently un
usual, each of the lucky two got his
hand in exactly the same way, getting
the ace, king, queen and knave on the
deal and the ten spot on the draw.
One only won thirty-five dollars on his
band, but the winning of the other

DEAD MEN'S FOOD IN YUCATAN.
There Are Oocaslous When It Is Very
Much Itelished bj the Living.
From remote times the Mayas have
been accustomed to make offerings to
the souls of the departed, particularly
a certain pie that they call "food for
the soul," says Mrs. Le Pilongem in
Popular Science Monthly. The crust
must be of yellow corn; the interior,
tender chicken and small pieces of
pork. These pies are wrapped in leaves
of the banana tree and baked under
ground between hot stones. When
done they are placed on the graves or
hung from trees close by. Sometimes,
after leaving them there for an hour
or two, the living take home the pies
ind enjoy them, saying that the souls
have already drawn from them all the
ethereal part of the substance.
When among the ruins in the ancient
city of Chicken Itza, we happened to
be very hard pressed for food on All
Saints' day, as on many other occa
sions, and knowing that the "feast of
the dead" would be celebrated in a
not very distant village, we allowed
some of our men to go there and take
their chance of en joving a good meal.
In that they were most successful,
the natives being at all times exceed
ingly hospitable, and never failing to
invite those who approach their home
to partake of what they have. But the
men also thought of us. We had early
taken to our hammocks, remembering
the saying: "Qui dort, dine" (He who
sleeps, eats). About two o'clock in
the morning we were aroused by a
man only just returned from the vil
lage. He had waited there till all
were asleep, then made his way to the
graveyard and gathered from a
tree a fine fruit In the shape of
a large pie. This he brought to us,
wisely arguing that the embodied
needed it more than the disembodie
. i
LL
The dead man's food was still wrapped
its banana leaf, and we were not
sorry to avail ourselves of this chance
to breakfast at two o'clock in the ,
morning. No tender chicken was con-
cealed within that particular crust,
only a pig's foot with a few stray
bristles on it, and a most lib eral dose
o f red pepper, but hunger made it ex
cellent. SOME FACTS AUOUT HOSE.
The Different Kinds Tlint Are Required
for Various 1'urposes.
Rubber goods manufacturers gen
erally make over a score of different
grades of hose, says Hardware, some
cheap, and which will satisfy certain
needs, while others are more expen
sive, and are really required for the
purposes intended. 1 1 is not necessary,
of course, to have a line of air-hose for
use in the garJen, and vice versa, the
article for domestic use would be of
littlo value elsewhere. A conducting
hose of two-ply will answer every pur
pose where only a slight pressure is
used; but lift that to seventy-flve
poundBper square inch, and three-ply
iB at once demanded. Then the en
gine hose must be four, five and six
ply, and, of course, much more expen
sive. Then some grades are perfected
by the use of superior stock, both in
rubber and duck. Florists require a
heavy hose, as well as do brewers, tan
ners and those who force oil through
it. An eight-ply is frequently used.
For air drills, great care 's used in
both duck and rubber, and canvas,
wire or marline is wrapped around
tliiB varie y. For air brakes the ge
nius of the rubber trade has been at
work for years, and when it is under
stood that railway trains are length
ened from year to year, the conclusion
can readily be reached that there is
room yet at the top for this, an im
provement in the quality that gives
strength. In suctions there are many
varieties used for fire, wrecking, dredg
ing sand, etc. Some of these are
large enough in circumference to al
low the crawling through of a full
sized man.

One Hundred and I'lfly Hollars for a
Three minutes' Job.
In the Bloomsbury county court, not
long ago, Judge Dacon tried the case of
lJrowne vs. ICarl of Annesley, which
was a claim for eighteen guineas, bal
ance of an account, by Dr. Lennox
Browne, for an operation performed by
him on Lord (ilerawley, the defendant's
son. It appears that Lord lilcrawky
suffered from stammering. lie was
under the treatment of a Mrs. Iiakcr,
who recommended that Dr. lirowne
should be consulted. Lord Annesley
took Lord (Jlerawley to the pluintilf,
who put him under chloroform. For
that two guineas wm asked and for
the operation which followed a medium
fee of thirty guineas was charged.
Plaintiff said he was a recognized au
thority on matters of thiB kind and
had received as much as fifty guineas
for similar operations. In cross-examination
Dr. Lennox lirowne said
that he never promised that Lord lile-
rawley would be cured of stammering
by the operation, lir. Collier and other
surgeons gave evidence as to the rea
sonableness of the charges. I
The defense was that it was under-
Bt""d that tho operation would cure
uieiuw.cv u. ...o.-.i.i.r,
of staoirf;ring. It
had not done so. Lord Annesley paid
tho two guineas for an assistant and
ten guineas for the plaintiff, which
brought the claim down to eighteen
guineas. Sir Andrew Clarke said he
would charge ten to fifteen guineas for
such an operation.
His honor said the evidence was en
tirely against the defendant. PlaiutilT
had said the operation took him three
minutes, but thirty guineas was his
charge. lie must have a verdict for
eighteen guineas, with coats. N. Y.

Mary Carter was practicing her music
i and waB all alone in the house. But for
i some reason she was always alone when
' she did so. As soon aa she struck the
first note of her exercises everybody
went outdoors and staid there regard
less of the style with which she went
over the scales. Mary, according to the
Elmira (N. Y.) Telegram, was a San
Francisco girl who had gone to spend
the summer with her sister, who mar
ried a rancher that lived away up in
the mountains near the headwaters of
American river. Iler brothcr-ln-law,
Mr. Matthews, was well-to-do and fixed
the lit tle house to which ho took his
bride in fine style. Things were so ele
gant it was hard to imagine that the
place was nearly fifty miles from civili-

Rhe fmlnd H impossible to p0rRllnd0 her
sister to stay with her she had to make
the best of a bad job. She went over
the scales carefully every few minutes,
taking a look out into the garden to
see that her relatives did not get too far
away. After finishing one piece she
rested a moment, thinking of what she
would play next. Suddenly sbo heard
a shullling Bound, and, turning around,
she saw a large, brown bear standing in
the doorway lending to the back part of
the house. She was paralyzed with
four and could neither move from her
chair nor scream.
She saw the bear come nearer, and she
trembled like a leaf. Oh, how she
wished she could faint, lint she was a
strong girl and couldn't, and the bear
kept coming closer, and soon had his
paws around her. She gave hersoif upfor
lost as she felt the grip, which she
knew was deadly, tighten around her
and the warm breath of the creature on
her face. Looking through the window
she could see her relatives lounging
around peacefully in the shade of the
pines and tried to call them, but her
tongue would not move and she closed
her eyes, expecting to open them in
that happy land of which she had been
taught from childhood. Hut what was
this' The bear was not hurting her.
He held her gently but firmly in his
paws, and was actually licking her
face, like a pet dog. She opened her
eyes, and the world was tho same as
usual. She could not tell whether she
was frightened or not, but somehow
she did not try to scream. She just
kept quiet, hoping something would
happen to end the agony, which she
did not understand. The bear did not
hold her more than a second, although
it seemed ages to the girl. Ho did not
want to hold her, for he threw her on
the floor. She was still frightened and
expected tho beast to jump on her
and devour lu?r at his leisure. Hut In
stead he turned around, commenced to
claw the piano and was evidently de
lighted with his performance, for he
kept time with his feet and looked
around approvingly. The peoplo out
side heard tho clatter but did not pay
any attention to it, as they afterward
said it was not unusuaL Mary has
never forgiven them for this. The bear
began to play furiously, and Mary, see
ing a way to escape, took advantage of
it und rnn away screaming from the
room. Her relations at first refused to
believe her story, but hearing the clat
ter ran to the window and looked in.
ltruin was still at It, and by this time
had become so enthused thut he was
performing a sort of can-can to his own
accompaniment, lie was In the height
of his glory and had found out where
the bass keys were, and with theso he
was particularly delighted. The deep,
continuous rumble seemed to afford him
the greatest pleasure, and he would
execute a bar that sounded like the ca
denza of "A Storm at Sea."
I Ho howled and jumped and whined,
' and at last concluded his concert by
! getting on the piano on all fours and
executing a jig. At this time Mr. Mat
thews thought he hail better take a
hand, and ho ran into the room
with an ax, as that was the
only weapon available. The bear
dil not seem surprised, but got
out of the way, and had there been
room would have left the house. He
was struck several times with the ax,
but did not show fight, and the man
thought he must have found a tame
bear, although ho could not imagine

where it came from. He then changed
his tactics and tried to capture it, as it
did not appear dangerous. He got hold
of it and tried to tie it in the piano
cover. But at this the brute's wild na
ture showed itself, and it got ready to
make an attack. Before the man could
realize what was coming he heard a
deep, angry growl, and the next mo
ment was clutched angrily by the mon
ster. The beast could have killed him
but it did not want to. It just gave
him a good squeeze and threw him vio
lently against tho wall. After looking
at him a moment the bear went out the
door and walked leisurely into the yard.
Mrs. Matthews and Mury rushed in
and soon had Mr. Matthews back to
consciousness. He got, up and looked
out of the window and saw the bear
walking quietly over the hill in the di
rection of the mountain.
JAPANESE PROVERBS, "i
Saying, of Five Centuries Airo Which Are
Like Modern Ones.
The opening of Japan to the west
ern nations was the means of making
the world acquainted with its litera
ture, which includes a large number of
very interesting books, some of which
have been translatad recently by trav
elers and oriental scholars. Among
the favorite Japanese novelists who
flourished about five hundred years
ago was ltakin. From one of his books,
entitled "Kumono Tnyema Ama Yo No
Tsuki" (meaning "the moon shining
through a cloudrift on a rainy night"),
the following quaint aphorisms are se
'ected to show the philosophic spirit
,hat prevailed in the Laud of the
.lising Sun a hundred years before this
iontinent was discovered. Tho late
Mr. Edward Greey, of New York,
made the trnnHlatiou of llukin's ro
mance os well as of other Japanese
books, and it Is from his version the
selections are made.
"Everything grows fat In the shadow
of the temple." This is a sly allusion
to the wealth of the Buddhist priests,
who while ostensibly mendicants were
in reality often quite wealthy.
"He wholiosneithor intelligence nor
mornl principles has the soul of an ox
in a human body." Believing in the
doctrine of tho transmigration of souls
the devout Buddhist claims to observe
characteristics of the lower animals in
living persons, though one is at a loss
to know why the ox, a very patientand
good-natured beast, should be supposed
to lack morality.
"As long as a priest has the face of a
saint his body may be as bloated as a
toad's."
"The hunter who Bhoots at a flock of
geese seldom brings down a single
bird, while he who only aims at one
generally secures it." This is the same
as "having too many irons in the fire."
"When you come across a good tub
of sake do not drink It like water."
Sake, or said, is the national stimu
lant distilled from rice. Tho proverb
is the same as there can be too mnch
of a good thing.
"Do not hurry to rise early, as
sleep confers many benefits." The
Japanese sage did not hold to tho
"early to bed and early to rise" theory
of the old English proverb.
"The mountain robber always ends
his life where he has earned his liv
ing." A modern application may be
"the ruling passion strong in death."
"Try a person seven times before
you suspect him." A warning against
rash judgment.
"The mountain stream makes a
great noise amid the shallow rocks,
but glides without sound over the deep
holes," an equivalent of "still waters
run deep."
The Queen's Annnal Dath.
mice a year the queen of Madagascar
bathes in public In the presence of
as many of her subjects us can crowd
into the palace courtyard. In former
years she was wont to descend the
uiurble steps innocent of raiment, but
,ince the advent of whites she wears a
loose robe and disappears behind a
screen. Here the ablutions are per
formed amid much splashing. The
icrecn was introduced to satisfy the
missionaries. When the queen emerge?
from behind the screen her complexion
is at least three shades lighter than
before. Then all the loyal subjects
shout, and, taking it for granted that
the queen has bathed, they disperse to
their homes and do likewise. After
the annuul bath they all feel uncom
fortable, but a few days sulllue to
muke them feel and look natural
again, and all goes well. 1
