The shoes ought to have been laced, but, as they were rather tight, the laces were allowed to hang down at the sides and the tops of the shoes had been cut off with akuife. f‘Nevertheless his majesty suffered cruelly, and attempted to alleviate his condition by alternately shuffling-along . and stepping with a very high action. He entered the reception-room in this manner and sat down under a dais, 0119 of his high officials hastening to remove the shoes and socks.

When the engagement was in its first quarter Wagers painted the portrait of his mother-in-IaW-elect, says the New York World. He had never done any- thing better in an artistic sense, and his friends gave him\credit for unex- peeted diplomacy. The course of true love seemed strewn with roses, and the picture had the place of honor in his studio. Then, all at once the bride-to- be was whisked off to Europe and Wa- gers found lg'mself a jilted man. For a little while he was inconsolable. Then he rallied his spirits and spread a feast for the boys in the old den. Vii-en the champagne sparkled in the glasses the speeches began, but, with rare delicacy, the subject of his recent ‘ masterpiece was not mentioned, al- though everybody noticed that "the" place it had occupied knew it no more- Then Wagers rose, and his smile was mellow as the moon. “Gentlemen,” he said, “when Cleo- patra, lovely sorceress of the Nile, gave 'a banquet to her fr’en’s she dissolved a pearl in wine. But I, gentlemen, go th’ fair serpent one better. I’ve dissolved —my mother-'in-law.” And so he had, by the aid of the pawn-l broker around the corner, to raise funds for the fea . - Some New frag};- Lites: Snow?” j That eminent medical authority, thd Lancet, has just discovered that snow water will penetrate the ordinary boot, and. that the only sure way .to prevent this is to grease the boot. The ancient and honorable custom of the Yankee farmers is set forth in the Lancet fully and scientifically—and is news to no one. But some of the Lancet’s remarks upon “beautiful snow” may be new. It is stated that few actions of nature clear and purify the air as d oes a fall of snow. An analysis of newly-fallen snow shows an enormous percentage of organic im- purities and bectcria. These have been swept out of the air by the falling flakes, leaving the atmosphere we breathe pure and wholesome. Again, there is so much friction on gendered by the snow- flakes dropping through the air that it gives rise to the formation of ozone. it is stated that so much ozone is formed by the descending flakes that to these familiar with it there is a marked smell of that element in the air after a snow- storm.
