'What It fa to be • genuine single poinded egotist is illnstxated in a reoent French volume by e story of Mme. dn Defiant, a celebrity of the last century. Mme. do Defiant was a great invalid and spent most of her time in bed, but this met did not prevent her from receiving s great deal of company. One day when she was thus in bed several guests arrived and were admitted. They all began to shiver and pull their cloaks around them. “What,” exclaimed the invalid, “is it cold here!” “It is simply Crossing,” answered a guest “Thank yon for telling me,” said Mme. dn Defiant She rang a bell. The guests supposed she was sending for a maid to boild a fire, but when the eei vant came in Mme. dn Defiant said: “Amelia, bring me in my down coverlet” Having given this order, she began a conversation about other matters.— Youth *8 Companion. Ike Beeirtleea Power of Knowledge. I knew one colored minister in the Pahamas who had quite a reputation for learning, because in his sermons he used alternately the phrases “ipsedixit” and ”ex nihUo nihil fit” I noticed that whenever any of his congregation showed signs of losing in terest in his discourse or an inclination to slumber be would throw oat at them A long, hocked forefingefUfrd exclaim: “How do I know this, wPpou ask? Because 'ipse dixit!' ” If that would not bring them to their senses, be would let his chest swell, stretch both arms to their full length and cry, “Ex nihilo nihil fit!” Then eyes would bulge as if about to start from their sockets, mouths open indefinitely, and the congregation would stare and wonder how “one smqll head could carry all he knew.” Cicero with bis elegant Latin never made so r(found an impression.—Rev. Bernard Reilly in Dun shoe’s Magazine. Hare Pelt Is the Blue Foo. In Siberia the skin of the bine fox, or Isatis, is highly prised, and the first prize for the hone races of the Anadyr is a fine pelt. According to M. Langkavel, the bine fox still inhabits the Lapland part of Scandinavia, the Islands of the White sea, parts of northern Russia, the coasts of Siberia, the new Siberian islands and in America the Aleutian islands, Atfon, Oonalaska—the Fox Islands—Alaska, the Commander islands, the Mackensie river district, Labrador and Newfoundland. The bine fox is a variety of the white fox, so rare that of 100 white fox skins only four or five will have the bluish or cloudy tinge.— London Globe. porary Change of Lodging*. At Monte Carlo a gambler had won the maximum at rouge et noir three times in succession. “There’s a follow running off with a splendid haul of hank notes!” said a spectator. “Oh, ” carelessly Interjected the croapier, “that makes no difference to the bank. It is merely a bit of oar money sleeping oat for the night!”—Paris Petit NOvtia

Obeyed Orders. Employer (to new office boy)—If any one calls, James, be sore and remember that I am not in. (Half an boor later.) Didn't ycm hear me call, yoo young rascal? James—Tea, sir, bat I t’ought yer wasn’t in.—London Punch. .▲ Shade Too Yielding Blnks—Why so gloomy? Jinks—My wife let me have the last word in an argument this morning. “What of that?” “That shows that she is going to do as she pleases anyhow.”—New York Weekly. _ All of J. M. Barrie’s Btoriea are said to hare grown out of his everyday life, and in the young men who are pictured walking knee deep in the heather of Thrums and vicinity one can find the boyhood and the present life of the brilliant young Scotchman. She was a wealthy soprano, and at the ooncert sang, “Oh, For tile Wings of a Dovel” yet an hour later at supper she took the wings, legs and rboet of the breast of a turkey and then passed her plate for “more stuffing.” The German name for tram car is “pferd strasseneiwenbafauwagen.” It looks formidable, but so would the English equivalent if written in one word in the German style—“horseroadrailway carriage."

MEMORIES OF A FORMER UF8. AtortMlhal Seem to 8«p|»rt the ThMfjr of BciiMwnution. “I have a number of friends who have a shadowy recollection of a previous existence a poo the earth,** said a tbeosophist, supporting the doctrine of rein,parnation. “Yon doubtless have also had experiences with an indefinable vagoe remembrance of something, or somebody came bo yon, which puzzled yon and made yoa pay, *I*m sure I’ve seen that before.' Yet yon may know positively that as far as this present existence is concerned it was impossible for yon to have received pven an idea of the place or person. I have often met people with whom I became intimate at first sight. It seems, as I have often told them, that I had known them for years. It was only the other evening that I met a lady from San Francisco whose face had been in my mind for years. As soon as we met there seemed to be something that drew na together. We were as old friends. “The most remarkable instance I ever heard is that of the danghter of Isaac Fulton. Twelve years ago he resided in Effingham county, IHs. While there ibe buried a danghter named Mana, who was taken away just as she was budding into womanhood. About a year later he removed to Dakota, where he still resides. About three yeais after his daughter's death be was blessed with another little girl, who was christened Nellie, it being the favorite name of hia wife. When the little one became old enough to talk, she persisted in calling herself Maria. She became quite angry when told her name was Nellie. She said the name belonged to her, as her parents used to call her Maria. A matter of business took Mr. Fulton back to Effingham county, and for company he took Nellie along. The father was surprised at the intuitive knowledge the girl had of the place. She not only recognized the old home, bat many people she had never seen whom the first daughter had been acquainted with. A boat a mile from the home was a schoolbouse where Mana had gone to school. Little Nellie had never seen the place, yet she gave an accurate description of it to her father and expressed a strong desire to visit it. Accordingly her father took her out to the schoolbouse. As soon as she was inside she marched straight np to the desk her sister had occupied and said, ‘This is mine.* In telling the story Mr. Fnlton said that it seemed as if the dead hgd come back from the grave, but her mother would not ha ve it so. She says, if that is trne, she had but one child, and God gave her two.’* —Pittsburg Dispatch. Safety Stepladdera. An English invention aims to provide security against liability to accident from the slipping of ladders. The remedy in this case is the introduction of a novel form of shoe suitably attached. It consists of a bracket which can be securely bolted to each side of tbe ladder, formed at its lower edge with a lug through which a hole is bored, a shoe being loosely jointed to this by means of a pin passing through it and the lug connection being so free that the shoe pan easily swing. To the nnder side of the shoe a corrugated pad of rubber ft fixed. Tbe effect of this arrangement is that in whatever position the ladder ia fixed there is always a grip upon tbe ground which prevents slipping, tbe freedom of tbe shoe enabling a ladder to be placed almost horizontally without incurring the least liability of slipping. When desired, shoes can be applied to the upper ends of a ladder, thus preventing any damage to the walls or the ornamental work.—New York Sun.

A Railroad of Coma The first railroad west of the Alleghaniee was bailt from Lexington to Frankfort, Ky., in 1831. The road was laid oat with as many carves as possible, the engineers declaring that this was an advantage. The cars were in two stories, the lower for women and children, the appear for men, foar per-, sons being seated in each compartment. The cars were at first drawn by males, bat after a time a locomotive was made by a Lexington mechanic. The tender was a big box for wood, and a hogshead was provided for water which was drawn in backets from convenient wells. In place of a oowcatcher there were two poke in front fitted with hickory brooms for sweeping the track.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. BwCootolatioo. A woman was sentenced to imprison ment by a bench of magistrates, the presiding justice of which was a We.il known officer of militia, whose pride in his regimept was the subject of public comment. On receiving her sentence she thos addressed the bench: “Well, your warships, my father was lagged for life, and my husband is doing 10 years* ‘hard,* and I have a brother and a sister that are two oat and oat bad ones, bat I thank the Lord that made me that nobody belonging to me was ever connected wi’ the 'milishy.' *’— Sheffield (England) Telegraph and Star. A Pl«uant Arrangement. Sarcastic Father—Julia, that young man Smiley has been here three nights in succession, and it has been nearly midnight when he left. Hadn’t yon better invite him to bring his trunk and make his home with ns? Innocent Daughter—Oh, papa, may I? It’s just what he wanted, but he was too bashful to ask you. He’ll be delighted when I tell him this evening.— Spare Moments. At the naval academy at Annapolis they tell this story of an English professor: While marking his class at the end jf « recitation a cadet in the rear part jf the room craned his neck eagerly to iee what had fallen to his lot. The professor saw the movement, and removing bis glasses said, “Mr. Blank, your msrk Is entirely too small to be seen at such a great distance.’’—San Francisco ^r£onaut.
