One day -a man named Crockford
went to his hn'ut, drew $300 and was
about to go out when he stopped and
said to the paying teller:
"Look right over my slioulder. You
we that young Italian looking fellow
with a striped waistcoat and felt hat
with n fancy band? Well, when I got
through countiug the money'you paid
me I turned suddenly and caught the
fellow lookiug at the bills with a cov
etous expression on his face. You
know that there are-a lot of robberies
I committed by persons seeing some one
| draw money from a bank."'
I "Why don't you call a policeman to
I see you home or wherever you are
' going?"
"I!i cause i don't believe I sli^U die

MIXED METAPHOR. 7
A CKoica Bunch of "Bulls" From tha
House of Common*.
There is no place like the bouse of
commons for a "alee derangement of
metaphors." It will be a long time
before we have a "mixture" equal to
j the outburst of an effusive orator who
said, "The British Hon, whether It is
I roaming the deserts of India or climb
ing the forests of Canada, will not
draw In Its horns or retire into its
shell."
It recalls the famous "bull" made
by Sir William Hart-Dyke, the Union
ist ex-minister, who caused uproarious
laughter In the house of commons one
day by remarking: "The right Jionor
able gentleman has caught big%sh in
his time. He has gone to the top of
| the tree to And them."
Alluding to an item of £2,000,000 in
| the army estimates one year, a certain
; member described it as "a flea bite In
the ocean," while another, advocating
an increase In the European troops
employed In India, remarked, "You
may depend upon it, sir, the pale face
of the British soldier Is the backbone
of the Indian army."
| An Irish member speaking of suicide
said, "The only way to stop It is to
make it a capital offense, punishable
with death." It was the same member
who assured tha house that "as long
as Ireland was silent under her wrongs
England was deaf to her cries," while
it was during a debate on the scandal
of packed Juries during the Irish trou
bles that a member in support of the
government exclaimed, "By trial by
jury have I lived, and, by the blessing
of God, with trial by Jury I will die."
There was .a wild howl of delight,
too, when some prosy member was
careless enough to remark, "The time
has come and Is rapidly arriving,"
which 1b equal to the cry of the mem
ber who wished a motion was "at the
bottom of the bottomless pit"—Lon
don Tit-Bits.
WHAT WAR MEANS.
Wanton Destruction May Mark tha
Progress of an Army.
"All is fair in love and war," runs the
old>saylng. and Mr. E. A. Vlzetelly In
his volume of reminiscences, "My Days
of Adventure." proves the truth of it
Referring to the appearance of the rail
way station at Nantes during the
Franco-German war, he says:
"Never since have I seen anything re
sembling it A thousand panes of glass
belonging to windows or roofing had
been shivered to atoms. Every mirror
In either waiting or refreshment rooms
had been pounded to pieces, every gilt
frame broken Into little bits. The clock
lay about In small fragments; aceount
books and printed forms had been torn
to scraps; partitions, chairs, tables,
benches, boxes, nests of drawers, had
been hacked, split, broken, reduced to
mere strips of wood; the large stoves
were overturned and broken, and the
marble refreshment counter, some thir
ty feet long and previously one of the
features of the station, now strewed
the floor in particles, suggesting gravel.
It was Indeed an amazing sight the
more amazing as no such work of de
struction could have been accomplished
without extreme labor.
"When we returned to the inn for
dinner I asked some questions.
" 'Who did ltl*
" The first German troops that came
here,' was the answer.
" 'Why did they do it? Was it be
cause your men h^d cut the telegraph
wires .and destroyed some of the per
manent way?'
" 'Oh, no! They expected to find
something to drink In the refreshment
room, and when they discovered that
everything had been taken away they
set about breaking the fixtures.'"
Steam Power.
The name of the first man to dis
cover the power of steam will never
be known. As early as 180 B. C., at
Alexandria, Egypt, we hear of "Hero's
engine," a sort of steam using engine.
From the time of Hero to the seven
teenth century the subject Is unheard
of. About 1001, Giovanni Battista del
la Porta wrflte a treatise on the steam
engine. The great name In the his
tory of steam and its application Is

a height of about 3,000 feet, and in
many places are beautiful waterfalls
which have a vertical drop of from

Jt. F. I). No. 2, Sunfluld, Mich. — "I was
troubled with eczema. It began with a 3oro
on the top of the scalp, broke out as a rilmDlo
and grew larger until It was a
largo red spot with a crust
or scab over it. This bocamo
larger finally covering tho
entire scalp and spread to
different parts of tho body,

gradually until some were as
large as a quarter of a dollar.

could not sleep. A watery fluid would run
from them. My scalp bcca<ue covered with
B scale and when the hair was raised up it
would raise this scale; the hair was coming
out terribly. My scalp and body itched ail
the time.
"After using Cuticura Soap and Ointment
with two applications we could notice a great
difference. My way of using the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment was to apply the Oint
ment to the sorus and all over tlio scalp, then
after I would wash the sores and scalp with
the Soap. In & month's time I was com

PEPPERY COMPOSERS."
Masters of Music Who Had Nice Tem
pars of Their Own.
Even In tlie presence of his royal
pupils Handel would sometimes fly into
most violent passions.
"l'ou forget yourself, Mr Handel," a
court attendant said reprovingly on
one such occasion. "You should show
more respect to her royal highness!"
"Royal highness!" snorted the musi
cian contemptuously. "Bah! De re
spect Is due to me! There are many
brincesses, but only one Handel!"
On another occasion, when George L
sent a message summoning him to an
Interview, be returned this answer:
"Dell his bnjesty he bust waid. By
tibe is bore imbordant dan bis!"
Viotti. the famous French musician
of the eighteenth century, had on
equal contempt for royalty and an ex
aggerated opinion of himself, as the
following story shows: One day he
was summoned to Versailles to play
before Marie Antoinette and the court
The performance had begun; the open
ing bars of bis favorite solo command
ed breathless attention, when a cry
was heard:
"Place for Mgr. the Comte d'Artols!"
At the sound Viotti immediately
teased playing, cast an Indignant
glance at his audience, placed his vio
lin under his arm and walked out of
the place.
When Marie Antoinette once Inquir
ed of Gluck how his new opera was
progressing he answered, "Madame, It
Is nearly finished, and I assure you it
will be superb," a conceit which was
rivaled by that of Meyerbeer, who,
when a friend declared that If any
thing better 'could be composed than
one of his rival operas he would dance
on his head, answered, "If that Is so"
I should advise you to start practicing
at once, for I have Just commenced
the fourth act of 'The Huguenots!'"
Even Haydn, usually the most mod
est of men, showed at times that he
had as good an opinion of his own
merits as any of his admirers. On
one occasion, when a friend said to
bim of his "Salomon" .symphonies,
"Sir, l am strongly of opinion that yon
will never surpass these wonderful
symphonies," he answered placidly,
"No; I never mean to attempt the Im
possible!"
