A TERRIBLE FALL.
Ed C. Allen's 6-year-old 8on Now Lies in an
Unconscious State.
Little Diok Allen, boo of Ed 0. Allen,
proprietor of the Golden Rale, lies in an
UDconeoious state at the hotel, says the
E. O., constantly watched and at time
passing through severe convulsions.
Friday evening a 4 o'clock he was play
ing about the balustrade on one of tbe
upper floors and fell to the first floor,
striking on bead and shoulders. It can
not be said whether he was on the seo
ond or third floor, as no one was near
him at the time of the aooident, and the
first that was known, the little boy was
picked np by a gentleman standing near
and carried np to a room on the seoond
floor.
Medioal attendance was secured and as
complete a diagnosis as was possible was
made. There were no broken bones,
though the physicians fear the skull is
fractured. All the night long the oot
valsioDS continued, bat toward morning
the patient rested easier and theoonvul
sions came less frequently. There ap
pearB to be small room to hope for re
covery.
Halfway up the first flight of stairs
there is a dent in the woodwork which is
thought to have been made by the boy
as he fell and bounded back, striking on
the fl or on his head out of the range of
the opening down through the winding
stairway.

THE ROSE JAR.
I remember In my childhood, in a quaint, old-
fashioned room.
A rose-Jar, flushed with crimson, like the
colors of the dawn;
It stood upon a little shelf, filled to odorous
brim,
With roses that hid blossomed in the sum
mers past and gone.
Oh, what a charm swept o'er me, when some
times sitting there,
I held the ir in careful hands, and breathed
Its fragrant scent;
I heard the bees go humming, and 1 felt the
breezes blow,
I saw the river flowing where the drooping
willow bent.
Sweet friend, you say the roses that bloomed
for you are dead,
You only have the withered leaves to hold
within your heart;
The summer's warmth has gone, and the golden
suns hi e fled.
And the snows of oruel winter, their blasting
chill impart.
I only know that now and then, your heart has
stood ; jur,
And thoughts like perfume sweet and rare
across your soul have swept;
Dear thoughts, like summer blossoms, swift
thoughts, like eager birds.
Shy thoughts, like blue-eyed violets, where
summer showers have wept.
Then keep the withered rose-leaves, preserve
them in your heart,
Their perfume blesses other lives with
thoughts of summer hours;
And friend, dear friend, though winter snow
lies white and chill to-d.vy,
Yet, after winter comes the May, and sprlnf
time brings the flowers.
Gussle P. Dubois, In Chicago Interior.
CAUGIIT BY A CLAM.
BY CHARLES STCAKT IB ATT.
"One does not usually repard the
clam as a dangerous animal," re
marked my friend, Jack liallantine, as
he shook a silver pepper-box over a
plate of the delectable Little Neck
bivalves, "yet the narrowest escape of
my life was from a clam."
Jack Ballantiue was an old school
mate. I remembered him as the ad
venturous spirit anjonff the boys, but
had not seen him since we graduated
from the Latin high school, a dozen
years before, till that very day.
Coming down town to business in the
morning, I had met him face to face by
the frog pond, and we had engaged to
dine together and bring our life-stories
up to date.
"Not being a dyspeptic, or otherwise
impaired in your body," said I, smiling
across to his sturdy bronzed face, "your
terrible clam could hardly have been of
the Little Neck sort."
"Hardly," replied liallantine, with a
laugh. "The clam tlmt captured me
would have made a meal for a regular
fairy-tale giant. It weighed probably
twenty pounds, and its tremendons
sheila four or five hundred pounda
more." '
"You must mean tho giant clam of
East Indian waters'?" observed I, in
quiringly. "I believe the single shells
of that great bivalve are somotimea
used for holy-water fonts in Catholic
churches."
"Yes, and In the islands of Oceana for
babies' bathtubs," said liallantine.
ll.o purncuiar li.ilao.i gigus in ciucn-
tion. however, with which I had a brief
but fearful acquaintance, was alive,
and a dozen fathoms deep in tropic
waters in the Torres strait, between
Queensland and New (iuinca."
No, while we waited the next course,
Rallantino la'gnn the atory of bis ex
traordinary adventure.
"I believe you went to your uncle in
London, after our Latin school ac
quaintance," remarked I. "You wrote
me on arriving there, but not after
ward." "Yes. Uncle Ilalluntlne bad mining
and pearling intercuts in Queensland,
and I went out aimont immediately aft
er reaching laoiuhm. I was located at
Cook tow n, on the northeuht count."
"The region and the life were full of
Interest to me, and 1 soon In-calm fain

"One of our captaina waa an old Nan

"In the midst of this exhilarating
spurt I pulled up suddenly.
"As if it had instantly materialized
from the sea water, I was face to face
with a gigantic shark. I quickly re
membered, however, that while naked
native divers are occasionally devoured
by these demons of the deep, they
never attack the armored diver.
"Indeed! I fancy now that the shark
was quite as startled as the diver, for
after a second lie wheeled and glided
off to one side.
"As I started on once more I was
stopped a second time, not by an ob
stacle before, but by a sharp pull on
the air pipe behind my helmet, which
jerked me over sprawling on ray back.
"My first thought was that the shark
had attacked me in the rear, but on
scrambling to my feet and facing about
I saw that the air-pipe, which, in my
first sudden stop, had probably slack
ened till it lay on the bottom, was ap
parently caught against some protrud
ing object.
"I hastened back to release it, when,
to my surprise, I found it held fast be
tween the shells of a giant clam.
"I gave the stout wire-lined tubing a
twitch, then a strong pull, bracing my
feet against the great bivalve. Then
I clutched the rims of the shell and
strove to separate them.
Iiut the vise-like jaws were relent
less. As easily 1 might have rended
a granite ledge at some seam in its
center.
"Then I turned to the life-line tosig
nal the tender in the boat. As I did so
I saw that it, too, had become slack,
and was tangled in a branching coral.
1 dashed forward to disengage it, but
before I reached it I was agaiu twitched
backward by the air-pipe.
"Then, for the first time, I realized
the full significance of the situation.
My air supply was stopped, communi
cation with the upper world cut off,
and I, Jack liallantine, in all the vigor
of young manhood, chained to my
death at the bottom of Torres strait.
"And now a sudden sense of suffoca
tion warned me that my struggle was
limited to seconds.
"In a flash of memory I recalled the
tale of one like disaster, where the
diver cut his air-tube with a dash freed
his life-line, and was drawn up half
dead, iiut I had no knife; in that sud
den backward fall I had lost hold of it.
"Then, as I lifted my eyes in a lust
tlcspainng seurch for succor, I beheld,
resting in the branching coral before
me and to this day I marvel at the
miracle of it an iron bur, pointed at
one end a veritable crowbar.
"In an instuntl was prying at the
laws of the giunt clam, with the lever
ugu of the bur and thu strength of des
peration. For a sutTocating moment
the struggle was unavailing, then one
rim split away and the pipe was free.
"1 turned toward the life-line, stag
gored and fell across it, insensible!
"I NupiKttte the weight of my falling
body gave tbe line thn one jerk which
waa the signal to tho tender to 'pull
up.' Anyway, the tndrr got the sig

on bin knees at my side, and
all the acared crew atanding alioiit."
"Truly a most extraordinary tale, as
well aa a tcrrililo experience," I ex
claimed, aa Hiillnntine ended his story,
and the waller brought on the dessert.
"That crowbar, for instance, is a strain
on an everyday businessman's creduli
ty," and I looked past my friend's fuca
to the bron re face of l'rauklin across
the street.
"And yet it la only another Instance
of truth stranger than fiction," assert
ed Hiillnntine. "Why, thn first time
the old Nantiicketer 1 hove mentioned

At Which a Fashionable Londoner Barlael
Hie Bachelorhood.
Most men experienced in dining out
have attended what might be aptly
called "crank dinners" where some
hobby came into play or an odd eccen
tricity was grotesquely indicated. One
of the queerest banquets of this char
acter took place a few years ago at a
fashionable restaurant in London,
where an acquaintance engaged a cab
inet particulier to celebrate what he
called the "burial of his bachelor
hood." The table was laid with a black satin
cloth, the flowers in the epergnes were
immortelles, the menu was written in a
dead language on mimic tombstones,
the name of each guest was inscribed
on a cardboard coffin which opened and
contained a dark cigar to represent a
corpse ond the wine appeared draped in
crape and was served by mutes.
When the guests arrived they came
in two mourn ing coaches drawn by huge
black horses with long tails, such as
one sees wending their way to the
cemeteries. The host was dressed in
deep mourning, wilh sables around
each arm. He was evidently in some
respects a morbid man who reveled in
his mortuary wit, for when tho mana
ger of the restaurant knocked at the
door (it was getting late) and desired
to know if tho obsequies were quite
over the giver of the feast was reading
the burial service with mock solemnity
over an empty claret bottle.
He addressed the manager as a
"potent, grave and reverend seignior,"
requested one of his guests to play him
out to the strains of the "Dead March
in Soul" and protested that the dinner
could not be completed "until it was
half mourning." Tills comedy or farce,
interlude or whatever one may call it,
was kept up to the very end by the
convives departing ns lugubriously and
solemnly as they had entered.

ENGLISH WOMEN.
A Tribute to Them from the Pen of On

The Temps bus a correspondent In
London who has evidently been most
favorably impressed by the charms of
the Kngllsh ladies, says the London
Daily News. Nothing could be more
ridiculous, he declures, than the fancy
portrait of an Knglish womun as seen
in the mind's eye of a Frenchman who
knows nothing of F.nglund. Mussvt
said: "Ah cold as an F.uglish woman,"
and the French picture her as a creature
with enormous feet, a jaw like that of
a gorilla, loiiy bands and a flat neck,
wearing a round hut, a green veil, spec
tacles, a plaid hhawl and loose, ill-fitting
NtockiiigH, falling over Insula like
those attached to a diver's dress. Such
an idea could only have lieen produced,
he declures, by hut red of i'ltt or the
defeat at Waterloo.
The gallant correspondent proceed
to compare Kngllsh women with French
women, not ut nil to the disadvantage
of the furim-r. What smxTfl.-lril ob
