Many amusing auecdotes are told of Bishop Burnet's absence of mind, but few perhaps are more striking and have been less repeated than the fol- lowing, which Lord Orford used to re: late: Burnet was once dining with the Duchess of Marlborough after the great duke’s disgrace. In the course of conversation, speaking of Marlbor- ough’s great qualities, great services and great fall, Burnet compared the duke with Belisarius, the great Ro- man. “But how in reason,” exclaimed the duchess, “could so great a general be nbnndoned?" 2 “Ah, my lady, do you know what a cursed brimstone of a wife he had?” The hearers, 'to the good Burnet's surprise, were confused and dumb struck with the force of the parallel he discovered In the cases of the Roman and the Englishman—§8t. James’ Ga- zette. The Count Too Touching. In the long corridor of an uptown ho- tel they tell of a certain foreigner who until recently held court there of even- ings. At last he disappeared, and then each of the men who had nightly been entertained by his flow of anecdote and his abundance of witty storles con- fessed that he had lent the count various sums, ranging from $100 up. The total seemed so formidable that a movement was set on foot to bring the defaulter back, his whereabouts hav- ing been ascertained. But funds were needed for the purpose. One -of the big men of Wall street who was a creditor on the count’s books to the ex- tent of $500 was approached for a sub- scription, “Not on your life!” said he. “I don’t want him back. He'll borrow moie money from me if he gets in town. But T'll subscribe $25 toward a fund to send him back to France If he’ll agree to sail from Boston.”—New York Globe.

Eats 'Em Alive. “Does this dog like strangers?” “Loves ’em, ma'am.” “Well, T must have a dog that does not like strangers.” “As I was about to say, ma’am, when you interrupted me, this dog loves strangers an’ has eaten several of ’em, ma’am. Yes, ma’am, thank you!"—Houston Post. Lingering Animosity. “Those two families in the adjoining flats who used to be at daggers drawn have been reconciled, haven’t they?” “T don’t know. They profess friend- ship, but one family gave the little boy in the other a big toy drum, and the second family gave the first one’s old- est boy a fiddle.”—Baltimore Amerjcan.

A Scottish gentleman paying a visit to London was taken by his neplew to a service in St. Paul's cathedral, He had no acquaintance whatever with the liturgy of the Church of England. He picked up a prayer book and be- cume very much interested, but as he turned over the leaves his face be- came clouded with a look of intense anxiety. He placed the prayer book carefully down, looked eautiously around, picked up his hat and crept stealthily to the door. His nephew followed him and said: “Are you ill, uncle? What 18 the matter?” The uncle replied: “No. But it s enough to make any man ill to see the number of collections made in this kirk!” “Collections!” said the nephew, In surprise. “If there is any at all, there certainly won’t be more than one.” “Well,” said the unc.e, “they should 10’ mark 5o many in the book. There’s naething but ‘collect’ and bits of prayer, then ‘collect’ and more prayers, and ‘collect’ again. And says I to'my- sel’, ‘If I bide here until all these col- lections are ta’en, I'll no’ have a baw- bee in ma pocket!” "—London Tit-Bits. How Indians Tan Deerskin. The skin dressing of the Indians, both buffalo and deer skins, is general- ly very beautiful and’ soft. They stretch the skin either on a frame or on the ground, and after it has remain- ed there for three or four days, with the brains spread over the fleshy side. they grain it with a sort of adz or chisel. After the process of graining, though the skin is apparently beautl- fully finished, it passes through an- other process—that of smoking. For this they hang the skin on a frame in a smoke proof house or tent. The fire is made at the bottom out of rot- ten wood, which produces a strong and peculiar smell. The fire must be smoth- ered to make the smoke. The_ grained skins must be kept In the smoke for three or four days, and after this the skins will always remain the same, even after being wet, which does not belong to the dressed skins in civilized countries.—“Life Among the Indians.” The Partitions of Poland. There have been three partitions of Poland. The first was in 1772, when Prussia took the palatinates of Mal- berg, Pomeria and Warmia, a part of Culm and a part of Great Poland. Aus- tria took Red Russia, or Galicia; a part of Podolia, Sandomir and Cracow, and Russia took White Russia, with all the part beyond the Dnieper. The sec- ond partition was in 1793, by which Prussia acquired the remainder of Great and a portion of Little Poland, and the Russian boundary: was ad- vanced to the center of Lithuania and Volhynia. In the third and final par- tition, In 1795, Austria had Cracow, with the country between the Pilica and the Vistula, Prussia had the cap- ital, with the territory as far as the Niemen, while the rest went to Russia. —New York American.
