The President's grandson regards his ancestor as his own personal property, and enforces his claims under conditions that are some- times somewhat embarrassing. On one occasion the President, while standing on the deck of the De~ spatch, began to address a crowd of people in the Navy Yard, at Washington. Just as he began, ‘baby’ McKee, thinking he was being neglected, set up a howl, which he would still nowhere save in bis grandpa’s arms, so, bolding the child close to his breast, the President concluded his remarks.— Ladies’ Home Journal. ed ALL HONOR TO SPOONER.

Perhaps the funniest bit of genuine kindness was performed by a little Bolog- nese conductor, black eyed, with some- thing of the figure of a Bologna sausage. The express train had been rushing through tunnels all day. Anxious to miss nothing, the girl had her head out of the window, until finally overcome by fatigue she fell asleep, with her head resting on the open window. A rapid stop in an immense sta- tion suddenly woke her. Looking at her watch, she saw it must be lunch time. She started out into the station toward the buffet; the conductor followed her, wildly esticulating and talking in shrill Italian. he offered her ticket; he shook his head, getting more excited. He tried French; no use; still he followed her. What could it be? The little man grew crimson with excitement and she more puzzled than ever.

The peculiar performance of a passenger on the steamship Iroquois was the cause of | considerable excitement on the trip from New York to Jacksonville, Fla. Just after crossing the bar he tied the lead line around his waist and jumped over the side for a swim. He was jerked through the water at a frightful speed, and the ship had to be stopped and the erratic gentleman hauled aboard. He said he merely wanted to take an ocean dip, and thought he could keep up with the ship.—Exchange. | to the Spaniards as the Agua Alta.

Montreal, in Canada, is a corruption of Mount Royal. In Africa the most common name for riv- ers is “Don’t know.” The explorer asked some native the name, and in the dialect of his tribe the man at last said: “Don’t know.” The wanderer, eager for informa- tion, put the answer down as the name of the river, and Keith Johnstone litho- graphed it on his maps.—New York Trib- une. About Thackeray’s Famous Broken Nose. Sir William Fraser writes: “I have al- ways believed that Thackeray’s nose was broken in a fight at Charterhouse by Ven- ables, Q. ©., lately deceased. Unless I am mistaken this was told me by the per son who introduced me to Thackeray. On at least one occasion I alluded to the fact, and Venables certainly did not deny it. My informant added that the ‘Dame,’ as we called them at Eton, ran up and said to Venables: ‘You have spoilt the best look- Ing boy in the school!’ A perhaps more veracious anecdote is contributed by “F. J. P.,” who writes from Boston, U.S. A.: “When Thackeray was in America he dined one day with Mr. X., a distinguished literary man of this city, whose nose made a good second to Thackeray’s. The ladies had left the room and the two gentlemen were sitting over their wine, when X. pro posed that they should join the ladies; upon which Thackeray asked: ‘What do the ladies care for two broken nosed old fellows like us?” It is said that X. had no regard for Thackeray thereafter.— St. James’ Gazette. What Betrayed Him. They were trying hard not to look likea bride and groom, but an incident happened that gave them clean away. They stepped out of the Ebbitt House fora walk. The young man looked at the threatening sky and then, with the solicitude peculiar to young husbands, concluded that he had better raise his umbrella, and then his be- loved would be protected when the rain did come. So he unfastened the band of his natty umbrella, gave it a little flirt and then raised it. About a pint of rice show- ered down on his head and scattered over the pavement. The spectators roared, the bride giggled nervously and the young man beat a hasty retreat into the hotel to get the rice out of his hair.—Washington Star. The people of the United States during 1889 smoked 8,955,955,773,722 cigars, which at 5 cents each cost the consumers §$167,- 788,686.10. This sum at $20,000 a mile would have built 8,686 miles of railroad, and at $8,000 each would have purchased 20,973 locomotives. “There goes Dr. Brown, the man that saved my life.” ‘Did he have care of you then?” “No; but when Isent to him in my illness he advised me to send for another, physician.” Exchange, J. . Geeiidge HARNESS ATTACHMENT Patented NoveMBeER 1378, 1888, ‘0: J. S. Coolidges Harness attachment is the best thing of the kind ever put on the market. It is sourtanged that any one can secure it to any harness, in three minutes, without cutting the Same in any way, right out in the street. It can be taken off the harness in two minutes, and the baruess returned to its former style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in biteh- ing and unhitehing as a horse can be attached to the veaicle in less than 30 seconds and extricated in less than 5 seconds. Lt is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is required. The Bolt is ree movable secured so as to allow the spring to be removed when woru. The particular advantage this device possesses over oth- ers Consists in the construction of the case and ar rangements of the straps, whereby the same may be attached to any harness without cutting the same, as bas been heretofore necessary in order to use devices of this character. r ; To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, Ing connected with the driver by suitable means, si horse runs or becomes unmanageable, the tightening will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will e side and release the animal trom the vehicle.
