Sa*l Mistake Made by a Short-Sighted lUsliop In Fngland. There is a hat story in which a wellknown bishop and a lately-deceased marquis played leading' parts. The marquis, who married a Gaiety chorus girl, and, generally speaking, lived up to the 1 high standard of his marriage life, was accustomed to wear a particular style of hat, shorter than that favored by most men. One day, says the St. James Budget, he went into his hutniaker’s in Piccadilly and asked fora new one to be made. The shopwalker took the hat, and walked down to the far end of the shop to give the requisite instructions, leaving the halless marquis standing in the shop. A t this moment there entered the short-sighted bishop of X, also in want of a new headgear, lie saw only a small man, who might have passed for a shopkeeper, standing staring at him. So he took his peculiar hat. off his head and went up to him. “Do you think, my good man,” he said, persuasively, “that you have a hat like that?” The marquis looked at him for a moment, speechless with indignation, while the shopkeeper, seeing what was amiss, hurried up ns fast its he could. Unfortunatcly, the marquis found his voice before the hat man reached his client. “No,” he said giving the bishop hack his headgear: "I haven’t got a hat like that, and if I had I'm hlowed if I would

wear it!”

BERRY'S HENS WERE SLEEPY. Rode Seventeen Villen Perched on n 3Va|fott Reach Without W'aklnir. Linn Berry has a big chicken farm in West Buxton and has several hundred liens. He brings many eggs and chickens (dead and dressed) to Portland. says the Portland (Me.) Press. He loads his wagon the night before and shirts at three o’clock a. He lias only to hitch up the horst^ and drive off. He did so the other morn ing. It is a drive of 17 miles to this city. He reached here at just about

sunrise.

As he approached the United States hotel to deliver some produce some one shouted at him and asked him if lie had brought his hens to market roosting on the crossbar under the wagon. He paid no attention, supposing the man wnfc guying him. But when lie stopped at the hotel and others called his attention to four hens roosting under the wagon and justwakingup, it was doubtful which was most astonished, Mr. Ber ry or the hens. Two of the latter were panic-stricken and started down Federal street. One was caught on Temple street and the other got down almost to Exchange street before it was captured. The cook nt the hotel bought the four hens for one dollar and took them home. How many hens were asleep under the wagon when Mr. Berry started from home he can’t tell, but it is very possible that there were more than four.

SHE WAS ECONOMICAL. Hut After Textlntf the Reault Iter lluabund Was ('napprerlatlvc. With one of those good intentions with which the infernal regions are said to he paved, an economic uptown housewife recently dyed her hubby's shabby hat. The operation was performed, says the Philadelphia Beeorti, with a toothbrush apd a package of patent dye, unknown to the. owner of the headgear, who put his hat on before it was dry and sallied forth to his Chestnut street office. On drying the Derby turned a beautiful bronze, attracting no little attention as its ignorant and I lissfnl wearer passed through the principal streets. Before he reached the office he was caught in a shower, nnd when he afterward saw himself in a mirror his counteuanre was decorated like that of an Indian chieftain in war paint. The dye wasn’t fast black—indeed, it wasn’t even black, and to the prejudiced eye of the unhappy husband it seemed to have been composed of green, pink, blue, purple and yellow. The lecture he delivered on “falseeconomy” when he reached home would hat e done credit to Mrs. Cnudle.

Navel Oranges. Tt has been shown that the tnnprerine orange and possibly some other varieties are formed through the effort of the orange to make n secondary growth at the apex of Ihe original one. only that it failed to make any original nt all. In other words, the tangerine orange is a well-developed secondary fruit. How litis can he brought about nitty be readily understood by carefully examining the oranges known in the market as the navel variety. In these cases a small orange can often be found nt the apex, sometimes of considerable size. When the small one is largely developed aud the larger one wholly suppressed, then we have the tangerine.

Uoarhlnt? the Wltnom. “My good woman,” said the learned judge, “you must give an answer in the fewest possible words of which you are capable to the plain and simple question whether you were crossing the street with the baby on your nrms nnd the omnibus was coining down on the opposite side and the cab on the left and the brougham was trying to pass the. omnibus, you saw the plaintiff between the brougham and the cab, or whether nnd who:, you saw him at all, and whether or not near the brougham, and which of them, respectively, or how it was." Coming to America. A sight that will linger long in the memory was witnessed recently at the Gare St. Ln/.are. Huddled together against the wall, with bundles of clothes piled around them, and dressed in costumes strange to the ville lumicre, were 200 beings. They looked like hunted dogs and clung together, dazed at the noise and light. In truth they were a band of Armenians flying from their country. Without knowing a word of English, they have decided to go to America to seek a fortune.

Hardships of a Frenchman Whom the ( HcKtinl* for IttiuMom Victor C'arrere wan recently rescued by a company of French soldiers from a hand of Chinese pirates who had kept him captive for 14 months, says the New York World. Soon after he was taken captive by the Chinese he was placed in a cave in the mountainside, and there lay for two months, so loaded with chains .hut even crawling about was difficult and escape w us impossibl; To add to the horrors of his imprisonment the cave was totally dark. 1 he pirates were unable to secure the ransom which they demanded, and so they took him wish them, always as a ca ptive, on some of their forays by land and sea iu southern China. His chains wt i e taken off, hut he was alw ays cat efully guarded. His captors treated him kindly, hut he had to undergo many great hardships. His only garment was a pair of thin silk trousers and his head and feet were bare. One forced march which he made lasted 27 days, lie and the rest of the hand trav cling night and day, with only the briefest intervals for sleep. The weather was cold, hut their journey was made without tents or blankets. The roblters were proceeding toward a small town, which they intended to pillage, when they were fired upon from ambush and those who were uninjured ran away. The attacking party proved to he a small body of French soldiers who had long been searching for their lost compatriots
