DANCERS SUPPLIED TO ORDER. ‘ A London Dry Goods .storo Provides Dancing Young Men to Its Customers. Among the articles purveyed‘ to its customers by a‘mammorth' London dry goods store are young dancing men. In London, as elsewhere, hostesses have the greatest difficulty in obtaining the requisite number of male dancers for their balls. Outside of the military, dancing men form a. very small minor- ity of the regular residents in the me~ tropolls. 0n the other \hand, there are almost 'at all times plenty of --visitors in London, young men who come up for a few days from the country or universi- ties, who would be only too glad of the opportunity to attend a private ball but are debarred therefrom owing to the limited extent of their acquaintance in the cilty.‘ ' To obviate‘thls difficulty ,and bring the would-be hostesses and guests to- gether, a. plan has been devisel by the management of the big shop which is said to work satisfactorily. When it intends to give a ball and partners for all her women guests, she notifies the shop to supply her with a specified number of. young men. The order is filled through the medium of a list wherein male visitors to the city are requested to enter their names. Of course the management of the shop has to be very careful concerning the social status of hosts and guests. It would never do to send small tradesmen to the house of a: woman of rank. This diffi- culty is obviated' by a system of tabu- lation. The managers take Care to find. out all about the hostesses and the men, and, having satisfied themselves con- cerning 'their,posi-tion in society, ar- range' them in groups‘u'a'ccordinglyg. Thus everybody can be suited with- out danger of unpleasant contra-temps. The scheme is said to be profitable to the store, for of course the young men who,are thus accommodated buy their gloves, ties and other necessaries there. —New York Sun. DANGEROUS ODORS. One Smell of Highly Concentrated Prusslo Acid W111 Kill 1‘. Mun. Some smells are dangerous. A single sniff: of highly-1:- concentrated .prussic acid will kill a. man as quickly as a. shot through the heart. The odor of a bad egg is due to the presence of sulphuret- ted hydrogen and the objectionable per- fumes of sewers and bone factories are Vattributable chiefly to the same gas. Chemical laboratories are famous for bad smells. Berz‘ellus, who discovered thezelement. called “selenium," once. tried the experiment of permitting a bubble of pure hydrogen selenide gas to enter h»is«~noetril.w Faraday-s after- wardhe was notable to Smell strong ammonia, the olfactory nerves being- temporarily paralyzed.

The Divine Sarah dad a Forceful \Vay or EXpresnI :Ig Her Anger. “I notice, ” said a local theatrical em- ‘pIOYe, “that Sarah Bernhardt is get- ting fat. I hope it is sweetening her temper. I remember a. little incident that happened at the Lyceum theatre when Sarah played her last engage- ment here, and I can tell you that it gave me a wholesome respect for the talented lady. ‘In “Cleopatra,” in the scene ere the queen is reclining on the couch, a footstool should be placed near her feet. Bernhardt was a terri- 1ble stickler for all these little stage 'detalls, and she never let the curtain go up until she had carefully looked the Well, on this particular night she took a step or two from the wings and ran her eye over the props. Instantly she' noticed that the stool was at the head of the couch instead of at the foot. She carried her own stage manager with her, and, as she raised her head in her usually queenly wav, She immediately located him. He was standing; at. «the opposite side; with a. sickly smile on his face, rubbing his hands nervously together. Sarah made three tig‘ress strides;- '-,and grasping that. stool by a leg, flung it fiercely at the stage manager’s head. “Like the less gifted of her sex, the divine Sarah was a bum thrower. The stool missed the stage manager and one of the ‘hands caught it as it flew to one side. He ran and placed it properly and the play went on."——Cleveland - Plain Dealer. THE ANVIL BIRD.

If a Cuban should go to Madrid when he is two weeks_ old, and spend all his life in the palace, 'he would still be a. Cuban and not quite as good as a Spaniard. If a Spaniard should go to Havana when he is two weeks old, and spend all his life in that city or upon a plantation, he woull still be a Spaniard, and enjoy the distinction and social position which a Cuban can never attain. The sons and daughters of a Spaniard are Cubans if they are born in Cuba; but the sons and grandsons and great-grandsons of a Cuban must always be Cubans, no mat- ter in they were born in Madrid and spend their whole lives in that city.

The quick disposition of morninr business and the large att ndance in 111 ntention 0-1 the part of the senators topress the Hawaiian question to the front as rap- idly as possible. In answer to an inquiry from Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts, Mr. Davis said it was the purpose of the foreign rela- tions committee to occupy not only the morning hour, but the entire time of the Senate in the consideration of the question of Hawaiian annexation. “The committee,” said he, "considers this a most important measure, to which it is very desirable to give prompt atten- tion.

HOW CUBA GETS SUPPLIES. Regular Service from the Isle of Pines- Plans to Break It Up. Washington, Jun-e 21.—The navy de- partment has received information that the Spanish military forces in Havana. province are not so greatly in need of food and supplies as has been for some time believed by the government au- thonlties in Washington. It is learned that subsistence supplies are being re-~ ceived constantly from the Isle of Pines, after having been landed there from Jamaica. Between the Isle of Pines and the southern coast of Cuba. the water is shoal. but between the Isle and Jamaica. deep water makes navigation possible with the largest ships. ' The navy department has learn-ed on good authority that a regular line of light draught ferries has been estab- lished between the Isle of Pines and Cuba, and that'supplies from Jamaica have been repeatedly landed in the pro- vinces of Cuba, particularly in Havana, where the principal forces are located. Plans are now being madegto break up Spain' 5 communication between the Isle of Pines and Cuba, and betWeen the smallerdisland anl Jamaica. l '* 'h Serious n11.1- ln China. ’Tacoma, June 21. —Oriental advices received- here tell of a. piratlcal raid .sixt'y miles above Canton.
