A MYSTERIOUS LEAK. Il W>,» a Worm Hula In the Keel of ths Ball boat. There wna n tniiti had a Connecticut* river bout built, which coat him *233. : and aha was a beauty. She could go ; quite nicely and Ute man wna plvuseil | with her till he found she leaked. "Oh, 1 well," sniff he, "that's easily remeffietl." i So he hutkeff her nil over for the letik. I He coulffu'l iliiff a crevice. He fillet) I U|> Reverul phteea that he thought might : Ltive let lii n little water, but It didn't I do the lenr t bit of good. He gave It up fhinlly miff aolff the boat for *35, and thought he hiul the best of it ut that. The fellow who bought the ernft, : tnya the New York Heruld, knew the ! was it fuat sailor and he had an idea that he was amart enough to find that i leak, but it wnan't long before he la gan , to think maybe he wasn’t such a aue-1 ceaa ns he might lie. She leaked juat; the wame regular amount till the time. One Sunday he made up hi* mind he would find that hole if he never came hack. He took her out and, after she , had show n that ahe wna in good leak-1 ing form, he Iwnelied her. After the ' thle went down he went all around her. listening as a doctor listens for lung, trouble. He hctird a sucking oolite I about her keel. lie got down on the I under side mid in the timber of the keel was a worm hole in the w-ood. It j hail been there when the bentn was shaped. It prolatlily wound around , like a letter S ant! to look for It on the inside would be something like hunt Inga needle In a haystack. He stuck a match In the hole to see how big it was. It Just fitted. The match broke oil and he let it go at that. She has never leaked a drop from thut day to this. WHY THE GIRLS LAUGHED. Young Lady tn a Fashionable School TVs* I noble to Set* h Caller. In a fashionable uptown boarding school the other day a young miss boasted that her sister was coming on the next visiting day with a handsome mid very captivating young fellow. She said all the girls might see him, but only two or three of her best and dearest friends should be introduced to him. It was to be a case of “you mny i look but you mustn't touch” to nearly ull the school. Visiting day came, 1 says the New York Sun, and with it I came the sister and the young man. ! There was a flutter all over the school. I The visitors sat in the parlor xvhile I Miss Rapid gave the finishing touches to her toilet. Meantime the principal lof the school entered the parlor. She J asked for the visitors’ names and got them. "And you are not related to this young lady?” she inquired of the . youth. “No, ma'am,” said he; "just a ; friend, that’s all.” "Oh,” said the ; principal, “only relatives may visit our I pupils, so I must ask you to let me entertain you in my office until the sist'-rs have hud their visit.” This was the situation when Miss Rapid came down into the parlor. She bore herself i bravely, but all through the nir of th'.‘big brownstone house there was nn i undertone of strange, choking, inde- : scribable noise. It was the suppressed I giggling °f the other girls. SHARKS’ FINS ARE HIGH Becoming Scarce, and Chinese Statesmen Are Greatly Exercised. Chinese politicians are doubtless making great capital out of the fact i just now that the price of sharks' fins I has gone up enormously of late, i Whether this is really due t > these hot j sea leviathans becoming scarcer, like J w halt's, or to their displaying more uel tivity in evading capture, is disputable, ; but the fact remains that their fins, I ns a delicacy, are becoming dearer and I dearer. It is generally supposed that sharks* fins are never eaten outside of the celestial empire, but they do occasionally figure in select banquets in England and France, So far as know n they have not become a staple luxury in this country, how ever, though they are occasionly served at banquets given by San Francisco epicures. The Chinese are very fond of them, and, notwithstanding the cost of the last war, still show such a desire for these delicacies that the price is still rising. A t'oxtly Relle. Au antiquarian in Taunton recently was the victim of a new kind of swindle. He sent five dollars in answer to an advertisement which said the sender would receive a well-preserved piece of protective armor which hail probably been used in the Trojan war. The precious relic arrived on schedule time, nnd on opening the bundle he found an old pair of musty-looking corsets bearing the following legend: "Dear Sir — This beautiful piece of ancient work is thought by the most eminent antiquarians to be the very identical corset worn by the famous Helen when site tool; tefuge with Paris within flic ancient city of Troy. If this was not the case, it was probably the property of the fair Cleopatra. Anyhow, we received the money, and it is kindly ncknowledgcd by X. Y. Z.” Blot Mncltlnc Gives » Penny. The automatic alms distributor is a reversal of the ordinary penny-in-the-slot machine in thut it dispenses the coin instead of absorbing it. The contrivance is devised to act ns a labor test for vagrants and beggars, for it exacts the turning of a handle 100 times before it yields the coveted penny. And this labor is by no means lost, for it actuates machinery, electrical or otherwise, which will perform some actual work, or store up the energy expended for future use. A Libel on Girls. Women are now admitted to lectures at Edinburgh university, where they sit on the front seats. Recently eight women were attending Prof. Tait’s lecture on the geometric forms of the crystals. “An octahedron, gentlemen,’' said the professor, “is a body with eight plane faces. For example:” “Look at the front bench,” broke in a man from the back seats.

THE AGE OF LOVE. Curious Correspond' nrc on This Quentlou In London Paper*. The "Age of Love” correspondence in the London Daily Telegraph is eliciting some odd statements and amusing glimpses of individual character snd views. “Ladies in the bloom of their wrinkles” is one of the funniest definitions of elderly sirens who have proved irresistible, nnd, according to one of the writers, we must include Helen of Troy nmongst these nged charmers. Helen, says the pitiless one, xvas 80 when she ran off with Paris. Cleopatra, we all know, wns old enough for Sbakes[>e:ire to write of her that "age” could not wither h. r when she fascinated an amorous Antony of nearly three-score and ten. But more amusing still is the letter of a “young lady” who has had "more adulation and attention” than falls to the lot of most of lu-r rex, and consequently has had “considerable experience in love at all ag's.” This lady, who at 17 was engaged to “a noble, good man of 35,"declaims that at no age has she found the loxeof man "so profound, true and lasting us from 35 to 40.” But-, alas! this wise reflection seems to have come t<x» late, for she broke the engagement for some trivial cause, nnd he, true to his promise never to get ever rejection, died within three years of nn undermined constitution —anil a slight cold! A GOOD EXCUSE. Ila Canid Not Enter the Army Without 111. Bear. A l>ear Barnum has had the good fortune to melt the hearts of stern military men by his tale, nnd to obtain tliereby a [lostponement of his period of service in the army. The man was called upon at Bordeaux, and presented himself at the recruiting office with a sujierb bruin. He told the captain in charge of the place that lie was quite willing to don the military uniform, but he tlid not. know what would iteconieof his bear. The anima! was trained, and worth £4O. Nobody would keep it for him. and if he allowed it to go loose about the country it might do some damage. "You must take my bear us well as myself," said the recruit to the officer, who, being perplexed, sent the nun away until tiu‘ general of the district had been conimunientetl with. The recruit has been allowed another year before being called on to servo with the colors. Within that period he is expected to have fount) somebody who will take charge of the useful animal. by whose ungainly gambols ho makes a living. A FEATHER-WEIGHT TRUNK. Comp<M* (l of Cnne and CanvMd* It 1* Both Light nnd Strong. A new material for trunks is much used by a Leipsic firm. It is surprisingly light in weight, while its resistance is equal to several layers of the best sole leather. A combination of strong linen canvas, witli interwoven enne, is very cleverly applied for the manufacture of trunks. The straps of cane used in the material are about one- eighth of an inch wide, while only u trifle less than n sixteenth of un inch In thickness. They are interwoven so closely into the double flax cover that they form an elastic surface capable of considerable resistance, ami sii|M>rior both in flexibility mid density to leather. The trunks made of this material are considerably lighter than ienther trunks, and are much more pleasant to handle than the old wooden trunk. For traveling in Europe they qre particularly advantageous, as they will save their cost in excess baggage in a short time. A Btnambont on Wheels. Sweden can boast of a steamboat on wheels. This unique vehicle makes regular trips overland from one lake to another near by. To leave the lake it approaches the shore with a full head of steam on, rushes over the rails of the connecting road to the top of the eminence midway, shoots down to the other lake, and then its screw propellers met--ily churn the w aters again.
