One of the last times that the late Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was in New York he related the following at a private dinner. He regarded it, he said, as the most amusing incident of his varied career. He called it "an Irishman's apology." "It was waiting at the depot at Charlotte, N. C. a afternoon some years ago for a train to Richmond," he said. "It was behind time, and not caring to go back to the hotel I lighted a cigar and paced up and down the long platform. Among the waiting passengers a diminutive Irishman, with trousers touching the tops of his shoes, a cutaway coat six inches too long, and a item of leather particularly attired my attention. He was an unusual character, with the style of whiskers known to the lads in the army as "sluggers." "When I first saw him he was pacing up and down the platform with his head bent, slightly forward, eyeing Trouble Enveloped Him but He Was Quick to Hoodwink a Surprised and Starilled Game Warden—A Bluff Made. There are several ways to get out of trouble. One is to bluff your way through it. This was the method taken once by the man who might have belonged to the Maine legislature, or might not. We won't say either, but will infer that he was a Maine official of some sort. Everybody knows that Maine has a "short lobster" law, and, with the perversity of human nature, the Maine man was very fond of short lobsters. It happened that one day when he was returning from a seashore town he behated himself of the family's needs, and, "ineos," purchased a fine lot of "shorts" from a fisherman who "needed" Laden with a basket of very lively young lobsters, he boarded a train soon which happened to be one of the Agile Creatures Almost Fly in Their Great Leap — “The Hart's Leap” Commemorated by Two Stones—The Span. “Deer are wonderful jumpers, as may be imagined,” says a writer. “I have seen a bind clear fifteen feet or so and buck as high as a tall man merely to avoid a small drain; and also, at a drive, I have seen a stag jump clean over one of the beaters, taking a fence at the same time. There is still extant the record of a famous leap by a made down on the borders of Ettick during a hunt one of the old Scottish kings. The place is known as The Hart's Leap, and is commemorated on the stones, which the monarch had erected to mark the spot. They measure twenty-eight feet apart. “Deer have a marvelous sense of wind blowing Facilities His Wife by Concocted Stories of Fires, Murders and Suicides—Depends Upon the Newspapers for Help. He is a man about town with a reputation for diplomacy, and this was borne out by the story he was telling some friends in a cafe last night. "I named a poker club," he said, "and got so infatuated with the game that my wife began to raise a howl every night because I stayed out late. I had exhausted all the usual excuses of 'business,' 'sick friends,' etc., when one night, knowing there would be an unusual row, a brilliant idea struck me. Sure enough she nailed me, and I calmly told her a murder had occurred and that I had stopped to see the Irish of the case. Of course, she said I was not telling his truth, but the next day the newspapers reported the case "Nope,' said the lineman, 'nothin'." "Then you'll have to pay me another time." "And the landlord wiped the bar with a rag furiously." "It was now the second lineman's turn to treat, and ordered two glasses of weiss beer. Then his companion nudged him and handed him secretly the twenty-dollar bill. With a grave face he laid it on the bar. "What's this for?' said the landlord, in a terrible voice. "The weiss beer, Joe,' said the lineman, gently." man, gently. "The landlord snatched up the note and jerked his coat from a mall. "Tend the ill man, come back," he said in an ill man seated by the window, and he rushed forth. "The linenmen drank their wets beer in silence. As they finished it the landlord returned.

His hands were clasped behind his back under the tails of his coat, and with every step he took he caused the coattails to beat a sort of rhythmic time. He did not approach nearer than ten feet, then would wheel quickly and retrace his steps.

The game warden dropped his whist hand and was ready for business in an instant. As the train slowed up the warden had his man. With visions of a fine of so many "plunks" a lobster, the official gasped. Clearly, that be doomed. He solved to identify himself. "Do you know who I am?" he thundered, and was about to give his name; then, realizing this would complicate matters, he shouted: "I'm the Hon. John Jimson Johnson of the international fish hatcheries commission, and I'm taking these lobster eggs up to Sebago lake to stock the pond. And, before the train had on full headway again, he stepped off, and it was until another ten miles had passed that the puzzled warden really made up his mind what a chump he'd been. they will scent a man a mile off. Yet though their powers of scent are marvelous, I confess to having had one illusion quickly dispelled. From reading various old books on the subject I had come to regard their sight as something quite abnormal and fondly imagined that, on spying deer, say, a mile or so away, a cautious advance was necessitated, after the manner of our ancient enemy, the serpent. "Now, though deer do have good sight, they are certainly inferior in this respect to the roe, and so long as you keep perfect, you have great difficulty detecting you.

In one of our illustrations appears a smaller wheel over against the big one; it is a rudder that adjusts the rotating cap of the mill to the shifting wind.

These be matters of prime importance to the right swinging of those falls of the air against which the hot-heart ge Settled over the eastern end of Long, Island, survivals of the period before and following the Revolution, are windmills of the type common in England, mills with four long "whips", or arms, with inner works made of huge timbers of oak rough-hewn by the ax, and outwardly clothed with boards or shingles trimmed by hand. Some are of an older type than others, and the right direction of the wind by moving a long lever that extends out- side; others are stationary in the main, have only the conical cap pivoted, while the mechanism to adjust cap and vans works from inside.

But 'at East Hampton, Amagansett, Wainscott and Bridgampton there are windmills owned by the old families of Suffolk county which play their part to-day in the farm economy. They are half ago. The iron windmills that pump water increase in number all about them, raising their giant skeletons on every side, but these grind on at their bucolic tasks to the satisfaction of their owners and delight of searchers after the picturesque. One does not see them in ranks and rows, as in Holland, where they are used as cheap means of draining lowlying spots of water. But their com- If there is a fascination in the sight of the slowly-turning vans somewhat akin to that of the regular succession of waves as they turn to white flour on the beach, there is no less in the sights and sounds within these antique machines. The white flour of corn and wheat slitting from the hopper, the smell of the dust-laden air, the sound of the breeze, the nightlight as it falls solid through the door, the dull clatter of the old wooden works, the croak of the big wheel, and the regular flash of the sall-clad arms as they flit past the square window on the windward side, these odors, sights and sounds are like a concentration of country life. In the eastern part of Long Island winds sweep freely from all points of the compass; a slight elevation looms high and affords the proper view of the village indeed the villas of summer folk have invaded the old mound and planted out the winds of summer with ornamental trees. It is not in summer, however, that much call is made on the creaking oaken works. Autumn sees the big wheel busy at last with the results of the harvest, and all through the winter, well on into the windy months of March and April, when the townfolk are only beginning to breeze, the slender sails are dripping and the griist is raining down. Then it is the stock feed is broken for the live stock and those who be- lieve in "cracked wheat" and a flour which includes the brown silicated husk of the grain can make their store of meal of different sorts for the darker kinds of bread.

Many people are convinced that the meal to cook so thoroughly to oblige you to use a special speed of the alum used by bakers to give a brilliant appearance to the loaf, Defective Page Windmill in East Hampton Now in Usa. That Tell History ed Don Quixote de la Mancha leveled his spear. Sails in fact are these canvas wind-catchers which the long fans carry stretched along their frames, and the principle of their action is close to that of sails. All this end of Long Island has been for two centuries the home of whalers and men brought up in sailboats. Small wonder, therefore, that the talent to make the wind work for them in other ways has always existed here. If the gale freshens the capstones of the stationary capital ship mast, and if the wind falls light the windmill also gets into the doldrums, the vans move slower and slower, and the captain scratches wood and whistles for a breeze. When Eastern Long Island was first occupied it was by Kendishmen and others who swarmed off from the English bive in Connecticut, but at that date, 1640 to 1650, there were no windmills among the early settlers. Grain was pounded in the most primitive fashion in stone or wooden mortars. Then came the turn of mills turned by cattle like coffee mills on a gigantic scale; then the use of water power near Southampton, where the name of the pleasant summer colony of Watermill testifies that even in this flat country there was enough fall to the land to operate a dripping water wheel, and finally the windmill that seems so odd and old. Doubless the windmill for grinding corn was perfected in Holland through the need of mills to pump water, a need unknown over here; wherefore the slowness of its introduction. Southampton was settled first, and some years later, the "Malstone," which is now East Hampton. From East Hampton as a center, Amanagesset, to the west, formed Hampton, to the west, formed hamlets rather than vlages. It is East Hampton which retains most windmills, no less than carts these windmills do not four being found in or near the broad village street, and they give character and charm to the place as perhaps no other piece of man's handiwork, church or town hall, flagstaff or mansion of village magistrate. It will be a mournful day when the sailors are furled forever on the Gardiner and the Dominy mills, and one comes no longer suddenly on the silently moving arms. Island windmills have the distinction of starting a fashion in cottage architecture, as one can see at South and East Hampton. Originally an old mill was bought and a number of rooms tacked on to it, the mill forming the elevated and pictureque portion of the whole. But windmills are not built for residence, not in this country at least, and neither wind nor rain has much respect for its tilt walls. The next step was to build a cottage wall, and it was then covered with intergrant art, and so it happens that the foundation for a style—limited, it is true, to villas few and far between, but yet in sufficient number to attract attention from those who are observant. What is more interesting, perhaps, to architect and archaeologist is the fact that in these windmills we have a survival of one of the most primitive styles of architecture in Europe, the circular hut and tower to which belong such far apart buildings as the Pantheon at Rome, the tomb of Theodoric at Ravenna, the round towers and beehive huts of Ireland, the snow igloos of the Eskimos. In the twelfth century, when windmills are first heard of the wood and wattle round house and tower were still common in Western Europe. It was easy to find among country people builders of such a simple structure—one that could be rotated to make the vana catch the breeze at the necessary angle, yet strong enough to stand the jar of the wings. These quaint structures and the Old Stone hill at Newport are almost the sole examples in America of an archaic style of building, which has nearly ceased to exist in Europe.

Miss Marie Czerney, daughter of prominent residents of Bon Homme county, had a thrilling adventure with a monster snake, as the result of which she narrowly escaped death by blood poison, by stepping on a rusty nail while trying to escape from the sting. The young woman, with a pail in her hand, went to her favorite Jersey for the purpose of doing her evening milking. During the day the animal had been picketed in a tame grass plot, and at the time of milking still bore the picket line. The Jersey appeared to be greatly annoyed by flies and mosquitoes and changed her position a number of times. As the cow changed position Miss Czerney and her companion up, and during this operation her ankle became entangled as she supposed in the picket rope. The cow seemed to grow quieter and after milking steadily for several minutes Miss Czerney became concerned at the small amount of milk in the pail. Fearing that the pall had sprung a Ancient History of Fighting Poultry known as Dorking—Caesar Finds One Breed of Poultry—A Royal Sport. That breed of fighting poultry known as Dorking has an ancient history. The Romans introduced it into England and taught the Britons to breed it for the table. But Caesar and his legions found one breed of poultry already domiciled in that country, imported by even the Romans. These fowls were kept for pleasure and diversion—that is, for cock fighting—and the breed was already many centuries old when the Romans came. The Phoenicians and the Greeks know all about the game fowl; they drew their knowledge of the sport from the Persians, while in India, nearly 3,000 years ago, the fighting cock fought and fouled as it does to this day. Cock fighting is now a popular sport in India now and again ectides against it were promulgated.

The snake had evidently been drinking the milk about as fast as it poured into the pail. Greatly frightened by the discovery, Miss Czerney gave a scream, sprang to her feet and manaced a dash of her blood. She knew her few steps when she made the further discovery that instead of her ankle being entangled in the picket rope, it was the snake which was entwined around her ankle. The reptile was coiled so tightly and was of such weight that the young lady was thrown violently to the ground. Finally gaining her freedom from the monster, which she was able to shake off only after superhuman efforts, she continued her flight toward home.

Smeared smuggling Trick One of the best stories of diamond smuggling is told by Commissioner Foote. "Never have I heard a better story than this, which came to me on the authority of a veracious young woman," said the commissioner. "It is that certain large importers of precious stones in this country have in their pay certain manufacturers of imitation jewels in Europe; that they get the manufacturers to put a diamond or other gem of great value in each of the paste diamonds intended for export to this country and then that the fabulously valuable stones come in duty free, as no one but the importer has any right or authority to break up the fake gems of paste in the quest for the real gems upon which great sums could be collected in custom house duties. Of course the climax of this fine story is that the importers simply take their hammers when the consignments arrive, and by breaking up the paste gems get at the real ones, which roll out from their prisons in the paste and are sold by the importers at a profit that soon makes them immensely rich." TRANSLATOR OF OMAR KHAYYAM Edward Fitzgerald's Appearance as Described by Biographer. A recent biographer of Edward Fitzgerald, of Omar Khayyam fame, describes him as follows: "He appeared a tall, dreamy-looking man, blue-eyed, with large, sensitive lips and a melancholy expression; his face tanned with exposure to the sun; moving his head as he walked with a remote, almost a haughty, alr, as though he guarded his own secret; strong and active from much exercise, yet irresolute in all his movements; with straggling gray hair, and slovenly in dress, wearing an ancient, battered, black-banded, shiny-edged tail hat, round which he would in windy weather tie a handkerchief to keep it in its place; his clothes of baggy blue cloth, as though he were a seafarer, his trousers short and his shoes low, exhibiting a length of white or gray stockings. With an unstarched shirt-front, high, crumpled stand-up collar, a big, black silk tie in a careless bow; in cold weather trailing a green and black plaid shawl; in hot weather even walking barefoot, with his boots slung to a stick. He never carried an umbrella, except in the heaviest rain. A Word to the Jinglers. Out upon the soured, scribbling banes who are perpetually prating of their bill! Heaven knows the world has sorrow enough without making record of it! Ye are not ministers of woe and scourges of humanity and retributive executioners. Ye are ministers. Ye are merry-makers. Ye are mountebanks. Lo, your rash audience waiting patiently with their tractable emotions! Do not say to them: "This is ordure, these are maggots! Death lurks in everything." They know it. Cover the unsightly things with shawls of silk and scattering of roses! We know, we know, we merry cynics. Ay, friends, that is the poet's duty; to make things beautiful and pleasant, to gild the tarnished world. —New Orleans Times-Democrat. His Face On Every Box!

THEORY OF FRENCH WAITER. Eating same kind of Bread.Cause of Dyspepsia and Indigestion. "I have a theory about dyspepsia and indigestion," said the head waiter in a French restaurant, "that I think ought to be considered by sufferers from stomach complaints. I believe that much of this class of trouble is due to people's persistence in eating the same kind of bread for weeks, months and sometimes years, without a change. "Now, nobody does that with any other kind of food; meat, for instance, or vegetables, or fruit or other dessert. Yet the average man will eat the same kind of bread twice or even three times a day and think himself wise. The stomach, unless it is of extraordinary constitution, will naturally get tired of this monotony and refuse properly to digest this eternal bread. Then the bread eater knows he has dyspepsia and starts on a course of dieting—generally sticking religiously to the same old bread—that most often leaves him in worse plight than ever. "There are many varieties of bread—corn, rye, whole wheat, graham, Boston brown, areated, barley, Vienna and French bread. All of these differ in the making and the material, and if the average man would only take a turn at some of them for a change from his regular loaf he would find himself healthier and happier."—New York Sun. REALLY NEW GOLF STORY. Caddie's Loss of Temper Excusable Under the Circumstances Under the Circumstance A very pompous, very self-sufficient and very bad golfer was once playing over an Irish course. He had as his caddle a battered, old Irish peasant, with a very knowing twinkle in the corner of his eye. After each stroke—and each stroke was cruel hard on the green turf of Ould Ireland—the vain-glorious one said to his caddle in the most lordly fashion, "Replace the turf, caddie!" Quietly and patiently the caddle went through the performance, thinking volumes, and saying nothing at all until the eighteenth was reached. Then, as the last duffed shot stumbled its way to the putting green, and "Replace the turf, caddie!" rang in his ears for the last time, he turned with a look of ineftable scorn upon his august employer and said, "Arrah, is if replacing the turf you'll be blinding me do? By the holy fly, it'll be retiring the place we'll be all doing when you're gone!"—"The King." Shrewd Device of Smuggler. A clever smuggler made a point of buying a lot of champagne during the voyage and for souvenirs used to keep all the corks. These he secretly cut and managed to stow from one to three diamonds in each. On the day of their arrival in port, pretending to have become drunk, he afforded the male passengers, and even some of the customs officials themselves with much amusement by pelting a rather green-looking boatman alongside with them. Though he never missed his aim, the boatman took it in good part, so the passenger afterward threw him half a dollar. The man then pulled away for the shore and the trick had been carried through successfully. A disgruntled painter whose canvas was rejected by the London academy figures out that he spent an entire year on his painting. His cost of living was only $750. while he paid for $310 and for materials and models $210. The picture cost him, all told, $1,285, and, since it has been rejected by the academy, it will not bring one-twentieth of that sum. The income of a prominent painter is enormous, but it has been estimated that half a million dollars is yearly wasted in the vain struggle for the recognition of the academy, and that of this sum not one-twentieth is recovered at private sale. Diamond Buying. A first water diamond, says the Mining World, is of uniform luster and color, free from cracks, bubbles, cloudy spots or streaks or incisions of any kind. Any of these objectionable features can usually be told by holding the stone between the eye and light or more so by being immersed in a liquid with high reflective power, such as oil or cloves, linseed oil or kerosene. The operation of cutting frequently produces cracks, called feathers, so that the stone should be purchased after it has been cut in every instance. Retort to Bishop Potter It is told of a well known wit that, upon the occasion of his first meeting with Bishop Potter (at the time when Mrs. James Brown Potter first went on the stage), he was challenged by the eminent ecclesiastic to give some proof of his reputed livelihood. The humorist was equal to the occasion. "Well, Bishop," he responded, "I may remark to you, as more or less appropriate to the case, that actresses will happen in the best regulated families."—Ram Horn. Judge and Court House Shortly after the court house at Alfred, Me., was remodeled, Judge Derby of Saco was chatting in the old Central House with a young fellow who had recently been admitted to practice, when the latter suggested that they go up to the court house and look it over. "All right," said the judge; "let's view the ground where we shall shortly lie." If a dish towel falls from the hand to the floor you are sure to have company at dinner that night. This applies to the cook, the mistress of the house and the hubby who helps his wife wash the dishes. When you wind the cuckoo clock be sure to pull the chain on the right first.
