'AB it was late in the evening all the shops were closed, A moment latdr ?the New Yorker drew his compan ion, into a brilliantly lighted cafe ?und walked briskly up to tho bar. 'Is that umbrella there the one I left here tho other day/' he said to thc man in. front of tho ?glasses-"crooked brier wood han dle, silver band?" The man turned,.opened a locker, pulled forth a half dozen umbrellas, lound one with a crooked brier wood handle and a silver band and hand ed it out. "Could you do that in every sa loon ?". the stranger inquired timid ly when the two were once moro in ?the street. . "I could, but you couldn't," tho' native declared. "You couldn't say it quick enough." "But how did you know they had a brier wood, crooked handled um brella in there?" "I didn't; I took a chance.

In the early Indiana days, when both judge and attorney literally ''rode tho circuit," a newly elected . judge, noted for his la?k of personal beaut}', was plodding along on horseback between two county scats one fine summer day. Sud denly he was confronted by a hunt cr, who unslung his squirrel rifle from his shoulder and ordered the horseman to dismount. Somewhat1 startled by this peremptory com rmand, thu jurist began to remon strate. He was quickly cut short, however, by the remark: "It's no> use talking. I long ago swore that af. ? ever met a homelier man than Tam I'd shoot him on sight." The judge,sizing up the situation, promptly got off his horse. Fold ing his arms he faced h Lo assailant and said, "If I am any homelier, -than you are, for heaven's sake do shoot, and be quick about it." . Needless to say> his wit saved him. ? .

Kaiser Wilhelm, always a self possessed character, was even as a lad equal to almost any emergency, hut thero was one timo in his life Itarhen his aplomb failed him com pletely, and that was when he was received in a private audience by Leo XHT. Strange to say, the self possessed young emperor felt com pletely overawed by tho presence of the holy father and his entourage. A gentleman who was present and witnessed the whole scene said that a student coming before a row of examiners or a culprit appearing before a court could not have look ed moro frightened than did the emperor when ho stood between the folding d?ura o? tho audience hall as they opened before him. As .he caught sight of the Pope in white garments, stiff, immobile^ almost unearthly, surrounded by half a dozen cardinals in red robes, who were looking at him curiously, his half powerless right hand, in which he held his present for the pope, a gold snuffbox, with his own portrait framed in rubies, shook so violently that he dropped the treasure. Thc monsignoro who was nearest, in stooping to pick it up, bumped his head against that of tho emperor, who was similarly engaged, and the shock so unnerved his majesty that ho quite forgot tho hel met which he held in his left hand and which fell to the ground in its turn. At lsst everything was put straight. His holiness was still quietly smiling his everyday smile, and W?liam advanced a few steps to deliver' his little speech, which he did with a sulky voice. He look ed as furious as if he just suffered from the awkwardness of somebody else, and they say that 24 hours afterward his brow remained as closely knitted as those of a bear.-! Modern Society. Episcopal Heraldry. In the arms of the archbishop of Canterbury there appears a decora tion somewhat like a clergyman's collar with an extended linen band, but it is intended to represent a nar row, circular strip ot white wool supposed to be shorn from the lambs bf St. Agnes at Borne, which was worn round tho shoulders, and had two such hanging bands, one be fore and tho other behind, while the crosses upon it are thought origi nally to represent thepins by which it was fastened to the vestment. This precious strip was called a pall or pallium, and was peculiar to archbishops conferred on them by the pope, and, like most papal gifts, of a high market value. Expensive as was its possession, it was by no means a mere luxury, for by the decretals of Pope Gregory no act of an archbishop was valid without it. If he had not received it, he could not confer orders, con secrate churches or summon a coun cil. The email stan, tho head of which appears inside the half circle formed Tby the pallium as it falls over the shield, is.the crozier, a staff with a cruciform Head that is borne by or before an archbishop alone, though the simple pastoral stan! with an ornamental crook, which merely denotes the offics of a bishop, is often mistakenly called a crozier.-Quiver. i . . --: A Wonderful Steam Engine. . ; In lb74^D< A. A. Buck, an in genious mechanic of Worcester,. Mass., constructed- a perfect steam engine of such lilliputian dimen sions as to gain for its maker tho plaudits of the world. To go into exact details the engine, boiler, pumps, governors and all were so exceedingly small as to only occupy a space seven-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, or about tho area of an old fashioned silver three cent piece. It was only five-eighths of an inch nigh, yet it contained 148 distinct S?rts, nearly all of which were silver nd gold. It was held together by 52 screws, the smallest being but one-hundredth of an inch in length. The engine had all tho valves, gear ing, etc., to bo found on the ordi nary horizontal engine. Three drops of water filled the boiler. The engine weighed but 15 grains when clear of tho base plate. The diameter of tho cylinder was but one-sixteenth of an inch; length of stroke, three-fifty-seconds of an -inch. * Vanishing Bird fUc?s.

Grotesque Knob Worn by Males of the' Mashlkolumwe Tribe. -The Mashikolumwe are as savage a tribe and as far removed from any form of civilization as can be found in central Africa. Probably justly they have a reputation for treach ery. Though the women wear as much, if not more, clothing than is customary " in central Africa, tho men in nearly all eases go absolutely naked. Every man carries a bundle of long handled barbed assagais. Nearly every man has dressed, or, to describe it more accurately, forced, his hair and scalp into the knob .or spike which is peculiar to this tribe. Many wear the full headdress, which looks like a long, straight and flexible wand starting from the back of the head. One of these headdresses I measured and found it to be 4*5 inches long, meas uring from the skin of tho head up ward. The headdress is made of hair and grease, with a finely shaved piece of sable antelope's horn inside to stiffen it. In making it the skin of the head io drawn back until a mass of flesh end skin protrudes two or three inches from thc back of tho head. This causes great pain at first. One whom we asked replied, "We bear thc pain because of the beautiful result." On this artificially made base of soft flesh is built an upi ight cone, gradually tapering to less than one inch in diameter and prolonged to at least three feet in height. The straight upright piece is quite flexi ble and waves in the wind. The completed headdress takes about three years ^t? make, and the happy possessor of a 45 inch spike attached to his scalp takes great can; of it. When he sleeps in a hut, thc flexible end is tied by a string to the roof; when sleeping in the open, a long handled assagai is stuck firmly in thc ground at the man's feet, and the end of the head dress 4?* tied by a long string to tho shaft of thc assagai, so keeping it off the ground. , In spite of the time and trouble taken to make these headdresses, some of the men offered to cut them off and sell them for a few yards of calico. I had hoped to buy Gome on our return journey, but unfortu nately passed south, just west of the Mashikolumwe country, and saw no. more of this peculiar headdress. Though not tall, the Mashikolumwe are well made and active and, judg ing by some who followed mc when hunting on horseback, good run ners.-Geographical Journal.

There were some strange rumors afloat here. T.t was a story of a wo man coming hundreds of miles to meet her lover-only to find herself the victim of a oruel hoax. The informa tion comes from a reliable source, but no names were given. It seems that a young man ia Co lumbia and s young woman in Chicago have been corresponding for some time, having made this long distance acquaintance through the medium of a newspaper advertisement. Proposals of marriage were made. The young man represented that it would be too costly a trip for him to go to Chicago and briug bia bride here, so ihn bfido-prospective caine herc io meet her avowed (over. When she arrived, no lover met her at the station, so she drove tc thc street address given in a letter from bim. When she arrived at her desti nation, she found herself in a squalid negro settlement, and the house with the number for which she was looking was the worst of tho lot. The truth broke upon her then. Her finance had been using an assum ed name and she had been made a fool of. It is said that she is young and good looking. Detectives are working on the case with the hope of discover ing the young man's identity.-Thc State. Resealed the Comment. A well-known savings institution hos a.unique system of receiving de posits.

Oo Saturday a little irrasoible-look ingf Irishman was one of the deposi tors in line. "How much?" queried the elerk when the Celt had answered to his name. "Wan dollar," returned the depositor.

Money in Corn and Wheat. Mr. ErneRt T. Westbrook, of Omaha, Neb., is in the city, registered at the Charleston Hotel: "Our wheat crop this year is the largest in the history of the State and the farmers are hap py," said Mr. Westbrook in speaking to a reporter for the News and Cou rier. "For the first time the wheat crop is mere valuable than the corn orop. Nebraska this season produced thirty million dellars worth of wheat (fifty million bushels) and twenty-five million dollars worth of corn. Think of the farmers in one State reaping seventy-fivo million dollars at one har vest. Working the soil for a living is not so bad according to these fig ures," Mr. Westbrook is also ?interested in ,the Texas oil boom. ".On my way down here," he said, "I passed through somo of the richest districts. The Beaumont boom is still exciting the people of the Lone Star State, as well as tho entire South.

Why Napoleon Failed. A reoent book, written by an erm* neut English statesman, Lord Rose bery, upon Napoleon the Qreat, is profoundly interesting in its sympa thetic, and yet judicial, estimate of the most marvelous of modern con querors. Napolesu appears, to this latest biographer, so great in his energy, his intellect, his genius, that he "enlarges the scope of human achievement." He "fought'thc Aus trians once for five consecutive days, without taking off his boots or closing his eyes"; he would work for cigh teen hours at a stretch; "his genius was as unfailing and supreme in the art of statesmanship cs in the ?rt war, and he was as much tho first ruler as thc first captain in the world." "Ordinary measures do not apply to him; wo soem to be trying to span a mountain with a tape." The conclu sion arrived at is that Napoleon was the largest personal force th'at has ?ever come into tho modern European I world. Why, then, did his career end in de feat and exile? Napoleon's own say ing is a revelation on this point. "I am not a man like other men." he as serted; "the laws of mortality could not be intended to apply to me." He believed that religion was essential to the nation he ruled, but not to him self. He was not antagonostic to it; he patronized it rather. But for a ?ian as consciously great as he to obey the Ten Commandments when they ran oounter to his own views, appear ed to him absurd. Humility was in his eyes no virtue, but un entire mis take. Yet humility alone could have sav ed him. The dangerous, the fatal element in Napoleon's nature was ambition. In youth/he was pheno messily s&ue and weii-balanoed. But his little knowledge of his own pow ers unbalanced him; nothing seemed impossible; nothing seemed as impor tant as his own destiny; "the intellect and energy were still there, but as in earioature; they beoame monstrosi ties." Then came the inevitable col lapse of insane and impossible ambi tions; and at forty-six, the man who had dreamed of governing a world be came a captive exile. His conquests left no mark; the kings ho mado lost their thrones; France was beggared and exhausted by him; and the great est gift:, ever bestowed upon a human soul since the days Caesar* thus failed to help forward the world. If any one was ever great enough to do without goodness, Napoleon was the man. The result of his experi ment ought to be enough to satisfy anybody. There is no need for small er men to Repeat the test; it stands as a finality. Plain, simple goodness is the necessity cf great souis as well'as lesser ones; duty is the supremo law, God, the almighty ruler. Napoleon failed not beeause he was not great enough, but because he was not good enough. "Not by might, nor by power, but my spirit, saith the Lord of hoBtB." That truth stands;-?and we msy stand or fall by it, as we choose. - The editor and his wife disagree with eaoh other very materially. She sets things to rights and he writes things to set. She reads what others writes and he writeB what others read. She keeps the devil out of the house as much as possible and he detains him and could set gG to press with out him. She knows more things than she writes and he writes more things than he. knows. - A hasty inss is seldom out 01 trouble. He is constantly offending some one or other and picking quar rels right and left. He boils over and scalds himself. ? mt m mm . . ? CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.
