When be van appointed bishop of Anton by Louis XVI, he considered a fine new coach to be necessary to the proper main tenance of the dignity of that office. Accordingly, a ooach was ordered and delivered, but not paid for. Some time after, as the newly appointed bishop was about to enter bis coach be noticed a strange man standing near who bowed continually until the coach was driven sway. This occurred for several days, until at length Talleyrand, addressing the stranger, said: Well, my good man, who are yon!" "I am yonr coachmaker, my lord," re plied the stranger. Ah!" said Talleyrand, "yon are my coachmaker; and what do yon want, my coachmakerr "I want to be paid, my lord." "Ah! yon are my coachmaker, and yon want to be paid? Too shall be paid, my coachmaker." "But when, my lord?" 'Hnmr said Talleyrand, settling him eelf comfortably among the cushions of bis new coach and eyeing bis coach maker severely, "yon are. very inquisi tive." Boston Transcript. A Dramatist with lnflaeaee. Queen Elizabeth of Bonmania has written a play which she is pleased to describe as a tragedy, bnt which is really a piece of the most wildly and extrava gantly sensational Vind. .It is entitled "Aleister Manolly," and it is to be intro duced at the Vienna Court theatre. The piece is of tbe old transpontine order, with ghosts, murders, a wife walled np abre, and other sensational episodes, and it is foil of preposterous situations, ab surdly stilted dialogue and Bombastee Fnrioso declamation. Queen Eiiiabeth, when she was recently at Vienna, in vited the company of the Court theatre to partake of a sumptuous dejeuner at the Hotel Imperial, and the champagne flowed in rivers at the meal. Her maj esty read the play to her guests, who applauded it as a matter of coarse, and then she went to see the emperor, and in duced him to command that the piece should be produced at the Hofborg, where, an a rule, new plays are not readily accepted.

Scientific investigators assert that in beginning to sleep the senses do not unitedly foil into slumber, but drop off one after another. The sight ceases in consequence of the protection of the eyelids to receive impressions first, while all the other senses preserve their sensibility en tire. Tbe sense of taste is the next which loses its susceptibility to im pression, and then the sense of smell ing. The heating is next in order, and last of all comes the sense of touch. Furthermore, the senses are brought to sleep with different de grees of profoundness. The sense of touch sleeps the most lightly and is the most easily awakened; the next easiest is the hearing, the next is the sight and the taste and smelling awake last Another remarkable cirenmetance deserves notice; certain muscles and parts of the body begin to sleep be fore others. Sleep commences at the extremities, beginning with the feet and legs and creeping toward the center of nervous action. The necessity of keeping the feet warm and perfectly still as a preliminary of sleep is well known. From these explanations it will not appear sur prising that there should be an im perfect kind of mental action which produces the phenomena of dream ing. American Analyst She Preferred the Earth. If the girls were only as bright when they grow np as in their chad hood days what a race of brilliant women there would be. One espe cially cute youngster has a way of saying some unusually clever things, and great hopes for her future are entertained by her family. She was quite ill recently, and her mother tried to impress upon her tbe de lights of heaven, even being unor thodox enough to suggest an un limited number of tricycles in the blessed abode, as one of these was the desire of the small girl's heart and the devoted mother thought to make heaven more attractive by the introduction of these rather mun dane charms, yet the small invalid did not seem to be enchanted at the prospect of a speedy demise, even with a tricycle as a reward of her well doing. At last her mother inquired why she didn't want to be a lovely fluffy angel with a tricycle whenever she wished to ride out through the gold en streets, and tbe practical small maiden rather astonished the ex pounder of heavenly joys by reply ing, "Well, yon see, mamma, I'm better acquainted here." Philadel phia Times. raid la Cold Cote. All the employees of the elevated railroads in this city receive their pay in gold. The Manhattan rail way pay envelopes are made np each month in a Nassau street bank, and about $00,000 in gold com is used. It has been the custom of the elevated railroad managers to pay wages in gold coin for a long while. Mr. Jay Uould is credited with having ex pressed the opinion that gold was preferable to paper money for this purpose, because it was neater and less likely to result in mistakes. Sew York Times.

Nerved by Anstntbe to the r la menting tbe fatal Dr. c. As to the question of the suicidal tendencies of alwiiitliedrinktii!;, there is a striking instance in one of Edgar j Saltus' novuls "air. InoouTs Misad-1 venture." At least the musings and ! soliloquy during which suicide was j detoruiined upon was accompanied by a free muulgence tn the danger ous beverage. Lennox Leigh is the young man who takes his own life as the only seemly end to a charge of cheating at cards, of which he is innocent but which he cannot re fute. The charge is made by Mr vm dietive enemy. Mr. Incoul. The viv id portrayal of the condition o', mind produced by the absinthe is remark able., "On reaching his room,'- says the author, "he put his purchases (morphine ui tended for suicide) on a table, poured out a glass of absinthe, lighted a cigarette and threw him self down on a lounge. For. awhile his thoughts roamed among the epi sodes of the day. but gradually they drifted into less personal currents. He began to think of the early legions: of Charon, the god. renounc ing his immortality; of the Hyper borean, the fabled people, famous for their fidelity, who voluntarily threw themselves into the sea; of Juno bringing death to Biton and Cleobis as the highest recompense of their piety; of Again edee and Tro phonius praying Apollo for what ever gift he deemed most advanta geous, and in answer to the prayer receiving eternal sleep He remem bered how Plato had preached to the happiest people in the world the blessedness of ceaseless sleep: how the Buddha, teaching that life was but a right to suffer, had found for the recalcitrant no greater menace than that of an existence renewed through kalpas of time. He mixed himself another glass of absinthe, holding the caraffe high in the air, watching the thin stream of water coalesce with the green drug and turn with it into on opalescent milk. The soliloquy was renewed: After what has happened there is nothing left. 1 might change my name. I might go to Brazil or Aus tralia, but with what object! 1 could not get away from myself. And yet life is pleasant; ill spent as mine has been, many times have I found it grateful After all it is not life that is short: it is youth. When that goes, as mine seems to have gone, outside of solitude there is lit tle charm in anything, and what is death but isolation the most perfect and impenetrable that nature has devised! And whether that isola tion came to me tonight or decades hence, what matters it)' "He poured out more absinthe and put the bottle down empty. Before drinking he undid Die package which he had bought from the chemist First be took from it a box about three inches long. It was a tiny syr inge and with it two little instru ments. One of these he adjusted in the projecting tube and with his fin gar felt carefully the point He threw off his coat and rolled np his sleeve. From the phial he filled the syringe and with the point pricked the bare arm and sent the liquid spurting into the flesh. Three times he did this. He reached for the ab sinthe and left it untasted. The lights turned pale and glowed less vividly, as though veils were being drawn between him and them. But still the languor continued, sweeter even, and more enveloping, till from sweetness it was almost pain. The room grew darker, the colors waned. the lights behind the falling veils sank thin, fading one by one; a single spark lingered; it wavered a moment and vanished into night" Leigh bad ended his life by bis own act in a condition to which large quantities of absinthe contrib uted. fit Louis Globe-Democrat Kentucky Camp Meeting. A writer claims that camp meet ings originated in Kentucky in the year vm at Gasper Kiver church. in Logan county, and became estab lished during the great Kentucky revival early in the century. It is claimed that both Presbyterians and Methodists participated in the earlier meetings, through the camp meeting is now . looked upon as dis tinctly a Methodist institutioa The great revival is one of the curious things in Kentucky bis history, and its effects are still visi ble in other tilings besides camp meetings, granting these religious open air gatherings to have had the origin attributed to them. Some thing of the spirit of the old camp meetings yet survives in the "holi ness meetings," but the camp meet ing has in this time developed some varities that have no kinship with the godliness and religious fervor that swejit the western country when Kentucky was yet an infant common wealth, Louisville Courier-Journal A Sl'.'CIOE'S LAst Preservatives fur ttranee. "1 was surprised to loniii- a few days ago," mud one gentleman to a companion, "that the grapes we eat at dessert, especially the white varie ties, may have been plucked from the vines a month before. A few days ago I went to a fruit store near my home and asked for two pounds of white grapes, incidentally remarking that they were for my little boy, who was sick. ' 'Why dont you take one of these ".-pound baskets!' asked the dealer. They ore somewhat cheaper when bought in such quantities, and be sides I will put a preservative on the grapes that while it will not impair their appearance or taste and is not in the least injurious to the stomach, will keep them for two or three weeks. Taste one of those grapes,' and he pointed to a big basket of fine fruit - - "The grapes were sound and of fine flavor. Those grapes you have eaten,' he said, 'have been kept in stock two months, and I can prob ably keep them as much longer. I do not know what the preservative is composwl of. I got it from a big firm of chemists down town, and they guarantee there is nothing in jurious in it 1 have never tried it on any kind of fruit except grapes, but I guess it would prove just as efficacious on peaches or plums."1 New York Advertiser. Charles ll's Ready Cash. Lord Ailosbury thinks that just before Charles died his affairs were prosperous. "1 will have no more parliaments," he said, "for, God be praised, my affairs are in so gooj a posture that 1 have no occasion to oak for supplies. A king of England that is not a slave to 500 kings is great enough." "His heart was set to live at ease, and that his subjects might live under their own vine and fig tree."' "I will hove by me 100,000 guineas in my strongbox," the long used to say. and Lord Ailesbrtry heard that "there was found there at his death about 00, 000. " Concerning this Burnet says: "He left behind him about 90,000 guineas, which he had gathered either out of the privy puree or out of the money which was sent him from France, or by other methods, and which be had kept so secretly that no person what soever knew anything of it" Black wood s Magazine. .

"1 can rememlier," said the old musician as be fumbled sheets of music "when to see a young man who was not a professional musician playing the piano or the violin was s particularly interesting and unusual spectacle. I mean of course in this country. On the other side it was not considered an effeminate accom plishment, as it was in the United States in the early years of this cen tury, to jxhhohh on intimate and prac tical acquaintance with some musical instrument. The guitar was the only instrument upon which a man could play in those times without subject ing himself to unpleasant criticism.
