The vice consul adds that military prep- arations continue to be made in Ma- nagua, indicating evidently the belief on the part of the Madriz followers that General Estrada-will attempt in the immediate future to capture the city. Dispatches from Commander Ship- ley, at bluefields, portray the stren- uous efforts being put forth to relieve the sufferings of the captured army of Zelayans. One dispatch says that 1,000 loaves of bread are baked daily on the United States cruiser Prairie to feed the prisoners. On account of the unfavorable ‘weather conditions difficulty has been encountered in landing the Red Cross stores sent to Bluefields from Panama. ‘The state department will refrain, for the present, from recognizing the Madriz government. Should Senor Luis Corea, now in Washington, be designated by Madriz as a special en- voy to the United States, as is re- ported to be the plan, it is understood that he will be received informally, exactly in the same capacity that Se- nor Salvador Castrillo, representative of General Estrada, is to be, as the| agent of a faction..

Why He Was Anxious. Buloz, the editor of the Revue den Deux Mondes, once had at his country ‘house in Savoy a numerous company of literary people, one of whom was Victor Cherbuliez, Cherbuliez contrib- uted regularly every other year a novel 1o the columns of the Revue, and a story of his was at that time running In the perlodical, The guests had been out for a walk and had amused them- selves with gathering mushrooms, which were cooked for dinner, As the company were sitting down, it occur- red to one of the ‘party that undoubt- edly some of the people who had tak- en part in gathering the mushrooms knew nothing about them and that there might be poisonous fungi in the collection. This reflection so affected the com- pany that all the ‘people present, with the exception of Cherbuliez, declined to partake of the dish. He alone at- tacked it with gusto. ' Thereupon Buloz showed sudden and intense alarm. “Cherbuliez! Cherbuliez! What are you about?” he exclaimed. “Remem- ber that you haven't finished your story in the Revue!” Greatly to his relief, the mushrooms turned out to be innocuous, and the 'story was finished. It Was a New “Team” to Him. ] Heinrich Conried told the following story once when chatting of his ex- perience as an operatic director: “It happened in Chicago,” said he. “I went there to superintend our first sea- son in Chicago. I got there early in ‘the afternoon. As I was registering at the Auditorium a young, a very young, newspaper man came up and talked to me. He begged for an inter- view. I told him T had arranged to see the press' at 5. 'That did not satisfy him. He was on an afternoon paper. It would be a feather in his cap if he could scoop the town. ‘Very well said I to him, ‘I shall give you an in- terview, but it will have’to be while I am taking my bath’ He seemed an intelligent and earnest young man, and I was willing to do that much for him. “I turned on'the water and divested myself of my coat, and the interview proceded. “‘What do you open with? said he. “I open with “Tristan und Isolde,” I answered. “‘Have they ever been here before? he queried.” . iron Eaters. v “The first time I ever swallowed a tack,” said a carpet layer, “I jumped to my feet and tremulously asked the ‘way to the hospital, “‘What's the matter” my mate, an old hand, asked. “‘I've swallowed ‘a’ tack, sald I ‘Good gracious, what will become of me? “The old hand sat back on the car- pet he was laying and laughed. “‘Why, kid,' said he, ‘it’s nothing to swallow a tack. Every professional carpet layer swallows half a dozen or 80 daily. It's a thing that causes no inconvenience. If it did, I'd know it. 1 bet I’ve swallowed a hundredweight of tacks in my life." “And I'm sure,” the carpet layer con- cluded, “my mate was telling -the truth, for since then I've swallowed half a hundredweight myself.” He gulped. “Haag it)” he said; “there goes one now!”—New York Press. Aroused His Wrath. “Were you ever done in oil?’ ven- tured the wandering portrait painter. The old farmer almost leaped out of his boots. “Was 1 ever done in ofl?* he roared. “Well, I should say so!

When I poured it on the lettuce it turned out to be sewing ma- chine oil, and, by heck, if I thought that you'— But the wandering artist was gone— gone in a cloud of- dust. — Chicago News. . Haiti’s Legion of Honor. It 1s not generally known that the famous order of the Legion of Honor ‘was adopted at Haitl in 1849. When Soulouque became' emperor under the name of Faustin I, he instituted an order in imitation of that which had been- established by Napoleon: in. 1802, Statues, ribbons and insignia were pre- cisely identical, and since the sover- elgn of Haiti distributed his honors to all and sundry with lavish hand the French government was considerably embarrassed. The death of Soulouque ended the difficulty.—Paris Gaulois. A Poor Remedy. Speaking of a certain measure under discussion in the senate, a well known congressman said: .“It does not meet the situation.at all and will not reme- dy conditions. It reminds me of the wife of a young blacksmith of Wash- ington. . ‘Did you sew that button on my coat? this blacksmith asked his wife one morning: ‘No, dear,’ the wife answered.. ‘I couldn’t find the: button, but I sewed up the buttonhole, 80 it’s all right”” An Exception.
