Anecdote and Incident and Aiuui-
' « Sketch©*.
T'S a dangerous
place s o m e -
times for those
ilio don't
know my nur-
«ery floor,
And I'd advise
those who are
timid at all to
keep well out-
side the door;
There are Hons at
large, and bears and cows, and animals
wild like that
Parading around most all the time, and
a great big plooshy cat.
My Pa came Into that room one day
to see who was blowing the horn.
And before he looked where he walked
he stepped on top of a unicorn;
And the faet express from old Bureau-
vllle—as fast as the wind It goe3—
Came whistling over the carpet track,
and ran right over his toes.
\n.l when ho Jumped back to get out
of the way a big man-of-war galled
by,
And clipped the end of his heel, It did,
and a cannon-ball hit his eye,
1 cannon-ball shot by General Zinc
bombarding a Brownie band,
That peeped from the edge of the old
soap-dish we keep on the oak
wash-stand.
And once In the dark he tripped on the
ark, and fell, on tho Ferris wheel,
And bumped his head on a wagon red,
and broke off my steam-launch
keel;
And when he got up to leave tho room,
the very (Irst thing he knew
Ho got In the midst of some lead
Arabs, and made a great hullabal-
loo.
And that's why I say Ifs a dangerous
place for those who've not been
there before,
With lions and boats and bears and
carts strewn everywhere over tho
floor,
And unless I'm home wh* n you visit
me. there Isn't a bit of a doubt.
Instead of a-venturlng In there alone,
you'd better by far keep out.
-Carlylo Kmlth in Harper's Rund
Table.

"Why don't you study jrour reading
lesson, Frances?" that lltti* lady'a papa
isked, severely.
"The words are so hard to pronounce,
papa," replied the small itudent. "I
don't believe you can aay them your-
self."
"Oh. nonsense! Spell the words and
divide them Into ayllables."
Then the spelling began.
"G-r-a-n-d. What# that papa?"
"Grand. Go on."
"Grand f-a-t. What's tha'?"
"Grand fat. What neif, Frames?"
"Orand fat h-e-r. What does that

Do let me see tho book, Frances.
Who ever heard of a grand fat her?
You aurely haven't tpelt tho word cor-
rectly."
And then mamma laughed from her
corner.
"Illd you never hear of grandfather,
papa?"
And France* cried. triumphantly'
"I told you these words were awfully
bard. papn. You see you ran't pro-
nounce them yourself."

An old gentleman, who w.ia strongly
opposed to smoking, met a lady in it
train recently, and t^e fololwlng con-
versation ensued;
"Have you any children, inadame?"
"Yea, a son "
"Ah. Indeed! IViea he sn.nke?"

of Wann rothed
from the fields and pursued him with
their hoea and spades. Twice he wua
surrounded, and his earners which
was strapped to his back, vras shat-
tered.
"How did you save your life?" a
friend asked.
"I made them laugh," the adventurer
replied. "I began fooling with the ma-
chine and tumbling off of It. Then I
persuaded one of their number to try
the wheel, gave him a header, and
down he went! In a few minutes every
man wanted to mount, ami the crowd
was shoutlug with laughter."
In another locality, when he was met
by an angry mob, he produced a mouth
organ and arrested their attention by
a few lively tunes.
While they were wondering at this
he took from his pocket a set of puzzle
rings, knowing that every Chinaman
is attracted by a mechanical puzzle,
and gave It to them to work out.
With tho music and the puzzle he
quickly converted the men who bad
thirsted for his lire into friends.
The friends, however, were almost as
troublesome as enemies, as they In-
sisted on accompanying him to the Inn
In a body, and watched him sup and
prepare for sleep, staying round the bed
with wide, unwinking eyes.
In li s journey through Thibet and
Asia Minor the young bicyclist took no
weapons but his inouth organ and
puzzle.
"My best safeguard," he said. "Is tho
fact that I can trust my own temper.
Whatever happens, I know I shall bo
cool and patient, and can play with a
mob until I make them laugh. There
is a fraternal feeling in the breast of
nearly every savage. If he laughs with
you, you are safe.''
The adventurer's maxims would hold
good in a journey through life as well
as through Asia.
A lloy'i llrarm A«*r.
In one of tho largest cities of the
Lnited States there Is a trolley-car line
that crosses the tracks of a s'eam rail-
road. The usual rail gates guard the
croealng when trains are passing, but
accldtnts have happened there In spile
of such precautions. Not l0Ug ago
what woud have been a fiarful catas-
trophe was narrowly averted by the
presence of mind of a little newsboy
Who sold papers at the station near tho
ci o.-sing. \ witness of the scene re-
lated the story to me. As in all cases
of such nature the facta are suppressed
by the railorad companies, and It Is
hard to obtain even the meagre details.
It was early in the morning, and I
car with about twenty pasesngers on
board rolled up to the crossing, and
proceeded to pa.a over the tracks slow-
ly, as they Invariably do. The conduct-
ing-pole that extends from the roof of
the car to the charged wire overhead
slipped from the wire when the car
was immediately over the tracks, caul.
Ing It to come to a stop. The conduct-
or. who has charge of the rope that
moves the pole, and hangs down back
of the car, vainly pulled It, trying to
make the pole connect with the wire.
IJut the rope had caught In the roof of
the car and jammed Itself In such a
way that he was unable to see the causa
of the trouble. Tho passengers were
growing nervous, and when the alarm-
bell at the crossing began ringing, an-
nouncing the approach of a train, they
made a wild stampede for the doors.
Th^y all tried to get out at once but
only Jsnimed theni el\es Into a worse
predicament.
A short distance down the track, and
coming around the -urve at full speed,
was a fast txpiess. and It seemed but a
quivtlon of a few moments when tho
crash would come, and Instantaneous
death follow. The conductor ituck
bravely to his post, and the motorman,
lisle but firm, stood with his hand on
the key waiting for the electric current
to start the car. When the express
*.i<i but a few yards distant, and amid
the wild, hoarse screams of the frantic,
struggling passengers, tho csr gave ii
sudden bound forward over tho cross-
ing. and cleared the train by a foot or
so.

car, saw the caught rope, and eaw tha
remedy. Close to the crossing was a

AH HARBOR Is
the scene of unu-
sual gaiety this
season, owing to
.the influx of socie-
ty people, who know
to the full all the
delights of the
beach and bathing.
Perhaps at no
c ir— other resort can be
seen so many unique
bathing costumes, many of them bi-
zarre beyond words, and others dalnly
enough for the wearing of any belle.
The fashion of dawdling on the beach
In buthing clothes, of lolling on the
sands for hours, with no Idea of enter-
ing the water, reminds one of gay Trou-
ville or Dieppe, where the bath dress is
only an excuse for an exhibition of the
form and not at all for use.
The girl who prepares herself for a
genuine tussle with the waves is quite
a different creature from this fluttering
butterfly, who poses for admiration.
She equips herself as for battle, with
no fly-away toggery and not a useless
ornament
Her bathing frock Is tallormade,
though it may be of silk, mohair, cra-
venette or flannel.
There is nothing risque in its design,
or suggestive in any way. It is built
for use. and not display.
To go with it is a long bath cloak,
full and tl( enough to envelop the
reproduced on the menu carda, being
especially designed for the occasion.
Little rural views and pictures of cot-
tages In colora and etchings are also
popular, and for these designs good ar-
tlsts are engaged.
All sorts of occasional dinners have
their proper dhrds. Those given on
yachts are beaded with tho proper col-
ors, with the vessel's name underneath,
while for hunting parties appropriate
sketches cover th? outside; and all big
clubs, sporting am. social, have special
designs of their ow n.
Among the different shapes and sizes
the moat popular {s a twofold screen
about four Inches high, with a scrolled
border Interlaced with violets of for-
get-me-nots. Another pretty card is
only two Inches square, with just a slit-
glo blossom in the center—such as a
rose or chrysanthemum.
To Core nnrns.
For burns, take equal parts of linseed
oil and lime water mixed, and pour
over the burn. A cotton or linen cloth
should then be wrung out of the mix-
ture and laid upon the wound. If this
preparation is used, it will be found to
remove pain and give a great deal of
comfort. Pure glycerine is a mo3t ex-
cellent remedy also. When first ap-
plied It causes smarting, but this soon
ceases, and the actual pain from the
burn is much relieved. Glycerine is
said to favor rapid healing. The soon-
er it is applied after the accident the
quicker good results will be obtained.
Thrss Thins* t'orzjet.
If you would Increase your happiness
and prolong your life, forget your
neighbors' faults. Forget all the slan-
der you have ever heard. Forget the
temptations. Forget t!:e faultfinding
and give a little thought to tho cause
which provoked it. Forget the pecu-
liarities of your friends, and only re-
der the penalty of being out of date.
Everything considered, this is a very
satisfactory season as far as the ward-
robe is concerned.
Capes continue to be worn in spite of
rumors that they are to be discarded.
Their disappearance has been foretold
many times, but they are as fashion-
able to-day as ever and show no symp-
toms of declining from favor. They are
more and moro trimmed—ruches of
gauze, plaltlngs, light ornamentations
of all kinds, bows, beaded embroidery
and applications of guipure. Capes of
silk as well aa other cloth are embroid-
ered In openwork over a contrasting
lining or a lining of the same color,
but different material. There is quito
a fancy for combining different goodi
of the same 6h.ide, a new cape model
being composed of mastic cloth em-
broidered in opeawork over a silk lln-

EXPERIENCE OF TWO FRENCH
WOMEN IN GREECE.
Courteously Treated by tho Randlta
Who Captured Them—For the First
Few Days Thef Had Nothing to Eat
het Dry Ulseults. O
DI S P A TCH from
C o n a t a n tlnople,
dated June 22,
a t a t e a that two
French ladles who
were captured by
brigands near Is-
mld were released
on June 19, after
thirteen and a half
days of captivity In
the mountains, says
the London Standard. They were well-
treated by tho brigands, although for
the first few days they had nothing to
eat but the dry biscuits supplied to
them by their captors. It was only
when their whereabouts was ascertain-
ed that provisions were sent up to them
by their friends at Koorl baths.
From the statements made by the
brigands it appears that they were on
the lookout for a party of wealthy peo-
ple, consisting of Armenians and tho
wife of a Greek banker, who In reality
were to have gone to Koorl on the
same day, but who, for some reason or
other, had, at the last moment, ad-
journed their departure from Constan-
tinople. This shows that the brigandt.
were kept informed of the movements
nf important people by their friends at
Constantinople.
The capture was effected between
Yalova and Koori, the brigands sud-
denly appearing round one of tha num-
erous mounds which dot the country
between the coast and the watering
place of Koori. Firing a volley on the
horses of the carriage containing the
ladies they disabled the animal and
brought the conveyance to a standstill.
The two mounted gendarmes accom-
panying the ladies, seeing that they
were greatly outnumbered, bolted In
the direction of the baths.
The ladles wero thereupon marched
in tho direction of the mountains un-
til tho party reached a small village,
where horses were obtained and two
of the prisoners mounted thereon. The
third, being too 111 to ride, was released
nnd proceeded to Koori, bringing with
her tho conditions stipulated by the
brigands for the release of their cap-
tives and a spot was Indicated where
the ransom of 125,000 had to be de-
posited within a given time.
The Journey was continued some-
what farther inland, In the heart of the
mountains, where the parly encamped
and there awaited the news of the ar-
il val of the money. The band number-
ed fifteen, all armed from head to foot
some with rifles, others with repeat-
ing rifles and all having knives and
yataghans.
During the capture the bandits wer?
very rough toward their prisoners, but
once In the mountains this attitude
changed Into ouo of gentlemanly and
even gallant conduct. Thus a small
hut was erected from the branches of
trees, while ferna and leaves wer-i col-
lected, which aerved as beds for the cap.
lives, whose coverings were the heavy
coats of the brigands. Hnin fell at In-
tervals In copious ahowers and, lu splto
of all precautions, tho Indies were
drenched to the skin. Two of the old-
est of the brlganda wero posted outside
the ladles' hut to mount guard nnd
wait upon them, whllo the rest of the
band withdrew to a respectful distance.
Tho leading brigands were Qreoko
from Yanlna, including the chief of the
band, who wrote and apoke Urcek
fluently and, moreover, appeared lo be
well educated, The men were well
and uniformly drcaaed and the chli f,
■timing other tilings, possessed an ex-
cellent Held glass, which enabled hltn
to watch the movemcnta of hla Intend-
ed prey, as well na of the troops ami
gendarmerie, who at one time were so
active as seriously to rn '.anger Iho lives
of the captlvea.
Not only were troope hurried lo the
