Eaperisnee f Nishslss II. With a Pa risian Street Arab. Oa on of bis visits to Paris Nicholas II. waa left alone for a moment In bis ean.aga.-i Tb caar waa delighted at tbe feeling of freedom and eaae. Look tag out of tbt window wltb all tbe est of a schoolboy playing truant, he saw before blm one of those pictur esque street arab who seem to sprout between tbe paving stones of Parts. This particular apeclmeo. seated against tbe railings, witb bis nose In tbe air. was whistling tbe refrain of the Itusslao national hymn. Suddenly their eyea met. The street boy sprang to bis feet, lie bad never seen the em peror, but be bad seen bis photograph, and the Ukeueus was striking. "Suppose It Is Nicholas V be said to himself, greatly puzzled. He resolved to make sure without delay. Walking up to wltbln a yard of the carriage and bobbing bla bead, be shputed In a hoarse voice to the unknown foreigner: "How's the empress?" Picture bis satisfaction for. In fact he thought that It waa only a good joke when tbe stranger replied, wltb a smile: "Thank you. tbe empress Is very well and Is delighted wltb her Jour ney." Tbe boy lost bis tongue. FI stared at tbe speaker In dismay and then, raising his cap, stalked away slowly, very slowly, to mark his dignity. Nicholas II. afterward often amused himself by scandalizing tbe formal set around him wtth the story of this pri vate Interview wltb a true Parisian. McClure's Magazine. A MEXICAN FIRE BRIGADE. Leisurely Way Thsy Fight the Flame at Mats moras. It mignt be thought tbat such an ex citing thing as a tin would startle the Mexicans out of tnelr habitual Indo lence, but such Is not the case. The alarm of a Ore at Matamoras. Cos bulla. Mexico, waa given by tbe discharge of numerous pistols and guns, says a writer In the Wide World Magazine, and 1 hastened to tbe scene, thinking at first that a battle was raging. After a long Interval, during which tbe people watched tbe Are wltb In terest chattering among themselves meanwhile, there appeared placidly trundling along the road the Matamo rasan equivalent of a fire engine, a barrell rolling along tbe ground, drawn by a reiatctant burro. A swivel pin In each end of tbe keg permitted It to roll freely, and ropes attached lr to the animal. Behind walked the fire brigade, a solitary peon, bearing a bucket. - Arrived at tbe acene of (be conflagration, the water in tbe barrel was poured into buckets and hauled to the roof of an adjacent house, whence It waa flung on to the -flames. Everybody was greatly excited. The calmest thing of all was the fire, which burned steadily on till there was noth ing left to consume. Tben as tbe spec tacle was over the people dispersed. Every one was satisfied except per haps the unfortunate owner of the house that had been destroyed. A SERIOUSPLAY. The Author Waa Willing, Though, te Turn It Into a Comedy. Tbe gallery god. no lesa than tbe patron of the padded chair, aspires to write for tbe stage. 1 nave a vivid remembrance of tbe first of atl the plays submitted for production at the New theater In New York. It was from an employee In a local railroad station, probably a baggage amasber. and 1 shall betray no confidence la re cording that the author's name was Murphy. Though Mr. Murphy called his work a play, it was in reality only a scenario. It was entitled "Jim's Wife." Tbe plot was as follows: in the first act Jim bad no wife, but he took his girl to a dance. Action They danced. In act second came tbe "great scene." Tbe scene waa caused by tbe fact that Jim's girl danced with another man. Jim felt Impelled to kill him. but be refrained, reflecting that such things did not occur in the bent circles and Would thus be socially unpleasUig to his lady. Tbe curtain fell on his act of self sacrifice In not killing the other dancer, in act third there was still more action. Jim's girl rewarded him for bis delicacy by marrying him. Final curtain. Mr. Morpny seemed weighed down by a fear that his play was too serious for tbe New theater, in his letter be said: "If you would rather have 1 a comedy 1 will send you the Jokes. 1 bave a few Jokes too."

There la an excellent market for thia jelly wherever Chinese ar to be found. The ahark'a liver gives a aplendld clear oil excellently adapted for the lubrication of tbe parts of watches, clocks and fine guns. This oil Is bold In some quarters In aa high esteem aa la the oil obtained from porpoise and dogfish liver, long claimed to be tbe finest of animal oils. Sharkskin Is of much value. It Is of a beautiful burnished gray or blu ish color and at first glance looks like finely grained leather by reason of tbe tiny prickles plentifully set one wsy. There are ao" many of these prickles, quite invisible to the naked eye, tbat tbe effect afforded by tbe dried akin la one of rich beauty, a quality that makes It particularly valuable for tbe manufacture of shagreen. It la em ployed for many decorative purposes. Even tbe bones of sharks are useful. The spine Is In constant demand by the manufacturers of curious walking sticks. Tbey pass a thin malacca or steel rod through tbe polished and round vertebrae, and tbe result Is a cane that sells for a high price. The abark spine stick is a great favorite in Germany.

CATARRH GERMS Hls to Match Walk. "In every theater audience there are critical persons who are prolific with suggestions for making the play more realistic," said a atage manager. "Some of these bints are worth con sidering too. In one play tbat was staged not long ago the biggest hit was made by a character actress who bad to wear down-at-the-beel shoes. On tbe third day of the New York run I received a letter from a shoemak er, who called my attention to the fact tbat the woman's gait and ber shoes did not match. Her beels were run down on tbe outside, whereas the walk she assumed on tbe stage must Inevi tably cause her shoes to run over on the inside. That was a point that had escaped tbe notice of everybody in tbe company. Cpon looking Into the matter we found plenty of evi dence to uphold our critic, and we se cured a pair of property shoes wltb heels worn away on tbe inside." New York Press. BULLJBAITING. A Brutal "Sport" That Was Popular In Former Dsys. The principle of bull baiting was ex tremely simple. A collar was fasten ed round tbe bull's neck, and by this the bull wss attached by a rope to a stake. Tbe rbpe varied from nine to fifteen feet In length and therefore al lowed tbe bull but little movement. Tbe audience was accommodated In a circle or "ring." The bulldog's duty was to grasp the bull's nose, and when he had succeed ed In obtaining a grip be was required to maintain his hold, despite tbe ef forts of tbe larger animal to dislodge blm. Tbe bull awaited the attack wltb lowered horns, which the dog sought to evade by crouching toward tbe bead of his opponent. Sometimes tbe bull managed to get bis horns under or Into the dog. which was then thrown high into the air. Writers state that dogs had been tossed up to a height of thirty or forty feet The dog, if be survived, would "retire hurt" On the other band, once the dog. which was trained to grip only tbe nose, obralned a hold bis adver sary would have little chance of shak ing blm off. The bull would whirl tbe dog in tbe air and struggle frantically to wrench his nose free from tbe ter rible grip. When, from sheer exhaus tion, the dog dropped clear of tbe bull a fresh dog was seat Into tbe ring. We also represent The Royal Tailors of New York We Do Sanitary Steam Cleaning and Pressing.

The Gegenschein is the name given to one of tbe most inexplicable objects known to astronomers. It Is visible In the night sky under favorable condi tions, is rounded in outline and la situ ated always exactly opposite tbe place of the sun. It bas been termed by one eminent astronomer "a sort of comet ery or meteoric satellite" attending the earth. He supposes it to be composed ef cloud of meteors situated about a million miles from tbe earth and re volving around It In a period of just one year, so that the sun and the me teors are always on opposite sides of Photographing a Panther. A panther Is not easily killed and will often revive with very unpleasant results, as on a certain occasion In tbe Deccan. He appeared to be quite dead, and one of the spectators rushed up with a camera on a stand to obtain a picture of tbe supreme moment. He got his photograph, and. strange to say, it survived what followed, but no sooner had be taken It than the pan ther revived, tore himself loose and went for the photographer. Somehow the man escaped, but the camera was sent flying, and. disconcerted by bis encounter with It. tbe panther turoed and made for the nearest tree, op which he went as quickly as a mon key. Now, the tree waa crowded with Interested spectators, and for three or four strenuous seconds (until tbe pan ther was shot) we enjoyed a spectacle of natives dropping to earth with loud thuds like ripe plums from a jnngle plum tree as tbe panther approached them. Wide World Magazine. Bismarck and Hi Dog. Sultan. Prince Bismarck's favorite boarhound, attacked a passing rail road train and waa cut to pieces. Bis marck's grief over tbe dog's agonies was such that his son Herbert tried to lead him away, but tbe prince would not go. "No. I cannot leave him like this." Tben. wben tbe dog's suffer ings were over. Bismarck wiped bis eyes and murmured: "Our Teuton forefathers showed . benevolence In their religion. Tbey believed tbey would find in the hunting grounds of their paradise all the dogs that had been tbelr faithful comrades here be low. I wish I could believe that." Marriag Musie.
