Q.
Glad He “'88 Not a. Preacher.
A well-known Worcester clergyman
tells a good story at his own expense.
In his younger days he was tramping
through the White Mountains with a
companion who wins also aclergyman.
One day they mounted the driver’s
seat of a stage coach. The driver was
an interesting character, loaded with
good stories. . The three speedily be-
came friendly, and it was with reluc-
tancp that they parted at the end of
the journey. “I’m glad ter hev met’
yer fellers,” said the driver in fare-
well. ‘fYrer see, I heven’t seen a man
this summer, exceptin’ ministers.”—
Boston Record.“ .
A MAN WHO DR! ’58 TEN-iN-HAND‘.
The Leader is Thirty-five Foetfrom the
. Holder of the Reins. ‘
The bespangled riders who guide a
score or more of horses at terrific
speed about the saw-dust circus rings
have been considered for generations
the ' most skillful and picturesque
horsemen _ in the world. An entirely
new and far more difficult problem in
driving has been devised and satisfac-
torily solved in Germany. '
The font is rendered especially difii~
cult by combining the difficulties of
driving four horses abreast with that of
managing a very elongated tandem.
The team is made up of ten horses.
The tandem is complicated by hitching
four horses abreast to begin with, with
a team of three horses in- fro-nt of
and a single horse at the apex
curious pyramid.
This remarkable. team was devised
by William Wesner, of Vienna, and by
him driven repeatedly. He has per-
formed several feats in fancy driving
with his team before the Emperor of
of this
and has received medals from both
monarchs. The performance is easily
the most difficult feat of horsemanship
in the world.
_ The difficulties of controlling ten
horses ‘hitdhed up in this way may
readily be understood. The principal
difficulty is that of controlling animals
driven at such a distance from the
man holding the reins. The distance
of the leader in this case is fully tln'r-
ty-five feet from the driver’s box.
The strange team is controlled with
eight reins. TWO reins are carried to
each set ‘of horses harnessed abreast.
Mr. Wesner not only controls this com-
plicated team in straightaway driving,
but hassucceeded in driving them in
the form of the figure eight. This feat,
the 'driver' asserts, he can perform
after eight weeks’ training with any
set of horses, however wild—New
York World.

As I drove up to the cabin where I
expected to remain all night there
were sounds of crying, and upon enter-

“Are you in trouble?” I asked.

“Excuse me, madam. I had been di-

Tennessee Lawyers May Weep.
The right of counsel to shed tears
before the jury was recently decided
by the Supreme Court of Tennessee.
In his remarks the judge said:
"It would appear to be one of the
natural rights of counsel which no
statute or constitution Could take
away. It is certainly a matter of the
highest personal privilege. Indeed, it
counsel have tears at command, it may
be seriodsly questioned whether it is
not his professional duty to shedthem
whenever proper occasion arises, and
the trial judge would not feel con-
strained to interfere unless they are
indulged in to such excess as to im-
pede, embarrass or delay the business
before the c0urt."—1i‘rom Case and

steamship Pretoria, which arrived to-
day from Martinique. were two pris-
oners, Heinrich Seebeck, the carpenter,
and Fritz Dankelmann, a. seaman 0f
the German ship Elizabeth Ahrens,
‘ who were sent on board bythe German
consul at Martinique for transshipment
to Germany. Accompanying the pris-
oners are two seamen of the Ahrens,
who are sent forward as witnesses
against Seebeck and Dankelmann.
VVhiie the ship Elizabeth Ahrens lay
at anchor at Mnrdnique Seebeck, it is
charged, attempted to scuttle her_by
boring holes in her bottom, but the wa-
ter rushing in attracted the attention
of the crew, and on examination eight
inches of water was fohnd in the hold.
The leaks were repaired. and while the
investigation was going on to find the
guilty person Seebeck and his partner
in guilt, it is charged, spread tar and
other combustibles about the hold of
the vessel and attempted to fire the
ship, but without success. Their al-
leged effort at destruction was finally
discovered, and they were seized and
taken before the German consul, who
forwarded them via. this city to Ger-
many for trial.
ship Elizabeth Ahrens sailed
March 20 for Bordeaux. ‘The captain of.
the ship probably will not know of the
attempt to fire the vessel, until he ar-'
rives at his destination, as‘ it is alleged
the prisoners confessed this portion of
their crimes after they came on board
the Pretoria. ' ‘

for a Marriage.
No amount of personal charms of ,
in Russia‘s opinion, make up for her
lack of fortune. The system of the dot
family pride that dreads alliances with
foreigners is only to be lulled to rest-
by the almighty dollar. Perhaps the
girl meets. her future husband at some
Continental watering place, or possibly
she is the governess or companion to a.
Russian family, in which. case the la-
though to do him justice the handsom-
est young Russ with-his courtly'man—
ncrs, rarely makes a. mesalliance.
However, marriages for love happen
all the world over, and even occasion- ,
ally among the Russian nobility.
,The first sight of Peter the Great’s
city, with its magnificent buildings
and granite quays, commands admira-'
tion. All those who are not rich
enough to afford falaccs’ live in flats
in huge buildings of brick and stucco.
The young bride Ins scarcely settled
into her comfor-able apartments,
with its reception rooms connected by
draped archways, when her husband's-
fr'rpnds and relatives arrive to call on
her. Then she realizes the fact that
Russian women are among the clever~
est of their sex, the most tactful and . ‘
brilliant conversati inalists. They; are
essentially unto—date, and do not bore
their listener with domestic details,
and the English girl begins to feel that
she must exert her faculties to the ut-
most to keep up to their level. They
understand the art of dress to perfec-'
tion, and a large proportion of their
income goes in clothes. Perhaps in no
country in Europe is woman’s influ-
ence and power more fully realized.
No people are more addicted to pleas-
ure than the Russians. Dinners, op-
eras and balls are the favorite forms
of amusement, and Russian women
aredevoted to dancing. The ballroom
etiquette will‘seem curious to the Eng-
ish girl’s ideas at first, for it is not con-
sidered good, form to dance a whole
waltz or polka. with one partner; three
or four men. dance a round or two
with the lady, always returning her to
her original partner at the end of the
dance. Balls always end with the
mazurka, which is totally unlike ours,
being a sort of follow-my-lcadcr affair,
and containing many figures of the co-
tilion. ,
For English women the life in Rus-
sia. is pleasant enough were it not. for
me thing, the continual supervision——
lirect and indirect—of the police, who
exercise an autocratic control over-
averything received from home—Wo-

For His Weary Head.
Perhaps there is no pillow that will

the spokes at intervals are cards with
the autographs of different cycling:
friends done in outline. one of the.
most eifective pillows is designed in
poppies, the extract of which flower is
conducive to sleep. Green art ticking
is used, and it has an artistic spray of
reds and fresh-looking greens. Be-
neath the flowers is embroidered in
poppy reds the gentle command, Dor-
mezl Bien. The edges are finished
quite plainly. '
