were extreme, my leg, from the knee to the

Inason• and bricklayer, who was en-
gaged in erecting a stone foundation
for a new barn on Mr. John Martin's
farm, near Glenrae, was instantly kill-
ed by lightning. It appears that Mr.
Thompson and his brother, J. J.
Thompson, and another man saw the
storm corning up while at work and
ran to a barn for safety. They were
in the building about ten or fifteen
minutes, when the corner of the barn
was torn off by lightning, knocking
the other two men senseless and killing
Mr. R. T. Thompson. When Mr.
Thompson's brother came to he found
his brother was standing up, with his
hand around a post, in.the barn. He
went to his assistance, but was too
late, death being instantaneous. He
was at one time captain of the Salva-
tion Army there, and is well known in
many places. He leaves a young wife

ultimately restored the youth to con-

at least for love making, and his dose
of soap secured him four days in which

PLAYED iN THE 50'S -

Wen :Ptah a Fair of Denotes.
Back in the '50s, when the northern
portiou of the Territory of Dakota was
hardly more than a Weak waste of un-
cultivated ground, the town of Pembina
was founded by Enos Stutsman. Stuts-
man was a man as remarkable for his
eccentricities as he was for gds physical
deformity. He emigrated to Dakota
from the huckleberry districts of Con-
necticut and located in the upper Red
River Valley, where he filed and proved
up on 820 acres of land. It was the
ground on which Pembina now stands.
Ile had the head and body of a giant,
but his legs were hardly more titan a
foot long, and he was unable to travel
without the aid of two short and power-
ful crutches. He was a shrewd, calcu-
lating fellow and soon became a recog-
nized leader among the handful of emi-
grants who had taken up their places in
his neighborhood: As a political diplo-
mat he never had an equal in the terri-
tory. For four consecutive sessions he
was chairman of the council in the up-
per branch of the territory legislature,
and he was one of the most famous
draw poker players ht the territory. He
numbered among his close frieuds a
pioneer named Judd La Moure, who
owned a line of stage coaches running
between Grand Forks and Peutbiva,
The advent of the railroads kilted Judd'e
coach line finally, and he settled down
into a profitable grocery business iu
Pembina. It was these two men who
played
THE STIFFEST GAME OF POKER.
that was ever played iu the territory.
The game was played in the old Levee
Hotel in Yanktou, in 1862, and it lasted
flout ten o'cluck ou Friday morning to
three o'clock on Sunday morning. Dur-
ing its progress the people of the town as-
sembled in the hotel and watched the two
men as they fought like bulldogs over
the pile of red, white and blue checks.
The legislature was in session at the
time, and as Stutsman, who was chair-
man of the council, refused to leave the
glare, that branch of the legislature ad-
journed until the following Monday and
the members watched the game to the
finish. Early in the game Stutsman's
luck was wonderfully good,aud lie play-
ed with a recklessness that surprised
everyone. Later on the tide turned
against him, and the chips begau to
flow in the direction of La Moure, who
sat with his slouched hat pulled over his
eyes watching every move of his op•
pouent. Slowly and surely Stuts-
man's chips went over to _ • La
Moure's side of the table, and work what
trick or „artifice he would he could
not turn them back. Matters weut this
way until past midnight of Saturday,
ween Stutsmau threw two $50 bills on
the pile of chips in the center of the
table and called a $100 bet made by La
Moure. Stutsman held a king full on
queens and he felt sure the put was his,
but when La Moure threw down his
cards there were four deuces, and Stuts-
mau, gritting his teeth, exclaimed :
"Judd, I tell you what I'll do. You've
wort 83800 of my money. If you'll put
$3800 with it 1°ll stake the town site of
Pembina agauist you, and will play for
it in a lump or win or lose at one deal,"
The men shook hands. According to
agreement the !rand was to be dealt by
E. A. Williams, of Bismarck, the
speaker of the House of Representatives,
the cards to be thrown on the table face
up. Wheu five cards had been dealt
each man was to discard and draw, the
cards being thrown up by the dealer as
before, and when the cards had been
dealt the highest hand was to take the
pot.
EXCITEMENT RAN HIGH,
and to prevent any trickery on his part
Williams was seated in the center of
the table with his lege turned under hint
like a Turk, in the full glare of the oil
lamp that was suspended front the coil -
big. The friends of the two sten crowd•
ed around the table, and Williams was
tt•reatened with summary treatment if
lie should in any manner manipulate the
cards so as to give either man an advan-
tage. Deftly Williatne shuffled the cards
and squaring them slipped one from the
top of the pack and laid it down under
Judd's nose. It was adeuce. Stutsman
caught the queen of spades. The next
card came off and Judd caught another
deuce. The four spot of spades turned
up underStutsmen's nose arid his brow
wrinkled a little. Again the cards fell
and Judd placed the ace of diamonds
beside his two deuces, while the jack
of spades looked up into Stutsmau',
face. Once more the dealer laid
down the cards,' and Judd claimed the
queen of clubs while his opponent
caught the acre of spades. Stutsinau's
face began to brighten. . Ile saw a pos-
sibility of catching a flush, but the next
card to him was a heart. however,
Judd had not bettered his hand and
held his deuces, drawing three cards.
Stutnnw's friends tried to prevail on
him to draw
FOUR CARDS TO THE ACE,
but he wouldn't listen to tlteui, and, dis-
carding the heart, he drew one' card,
hopiug to till the flush. The onlookers
werewild when 'Williams threw three
cards to Judd. They fell face up—the
queen of clubs, the Jack of diamonds.
and ten spot of clubs. He had not
bettered his hand, and itis opponent
smiled grimly as he saw how severely
fortune must snub him now if site fail-
ed to bring him a winning hand ; for if
he paired any of the four cards he held
he must beat Judd's chances ; besides
there was a possibility of his filling
a flush. Judd had evidently lost
hope, and he rested his arms on the
table and doggedly watched Williams
as he turned to Stutaman land slipped a
card from the pack. All stretched their
necks to catch eight of the card. It was
the eight spot of clubs. The game was
over. Judd had won, and as be shoved
his hand over the table to Stuteman the
latter grasped It and shook it as though
he had forgotten it had played havoc
with Iris finances. Stuntman kept bis
word, and deeded the 820 acres of land
to La Moure, La Moure holds much of
that land to -day, although he has sold a
large portion of it and realiebd many
thousands of dollars. The railroads
have since given Pembina a boom, and
the land that was won in 1862 by two
deuces is now worth hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars. Stutsman died in
1880. Ile was burled in the lonely
cemetery on the hillside half a mile
north of Pembina. The only monument

position of ills street. This state of
things has arisen partly because the
blue blood of France—the old nobility
of the second empire, whose estates
have suffered confiscation or who gave
their wealth uucomplainingly for their
lost cause, the proudest aristocracy of
Frauce—are poor. At oue time some of
them were wretchedly so, and now says
a writer in The New York Press, their
pride still makes palaces of their tiny
salons. Besides this the bourgeoise,
whose favorite proverb is "Thrift covers
wealth," admire close ruanagetnent and
to them liviug in a cheap quarter is as
much an evideuce of money aa of the
lank of it. The cheapest section of
Paris where one cau live respec-
tably is the Quartier Latin, where
the students congregate. This, in
return for its cheapness, is stuffy, dirty
and touselled, and, is, to general,
smutted by its atmosphere, which,
speaking euphemistically, looks decided
moral tints. And yet many and many
a young couple start married life in
Paris in this way in the Latin Quarter.
and acouple, as the students know too
well, cau live here wonderfully well if
they are content to throw away protect -
dons and live a l'etudiaut.
The prices of the Latin Quarter aro
low because the students are poor. Moat
of them are ou an allowance, and some
live on as small a sum as $15 a month.
This requires close living, it is true, but
it can be done, and there is still enough
left over to pay for the cup of coffee and
the music of the cafe in the evening, and
an occasional boat ride down the river.
The majority of students live, all told,
upon $30 a mouth. here a comfortably
furnished roorn—rather near the stars, it
is true, but then, wlint. student wiuds
that, except when hie &equilibrium is rt
trifle difficult to ntaintaiu?—may be
rented fur the ridiculously small sum of
30 francs ($6) a month. It must be re,
membered that this sutra includes bed
furnishings, the care and oconsional
sweeping of the room, and for this sum
the young couple . who are living thus
cheaply may find their shoes polished
outside the door in the morning.
For the couple who lives thus, in a
single room, there is no choice but to
live out at restaurants, but this need not
be expensive. There are numbers of
cafes along the Latin boulevards where
the evening dinner costs, with the wait-
er's pourboire, 1 franc 25 centimes (25
cents). The dinner consists of soup, hors
d'oeuvre, entre, entrentet and dessert,
with a pint bottle of red or white wine.
'!'here are a hundred and oue little wind•
ing streets running iu every direction
from the two main boulevards, where a
dejeuner—the Parisian breakfast—may
be bodght for the French equivalent of
10 cents. These two meals suffice, for
none think of eating more tlutu two real
meals a day in Paris. Oue may buy a
cup of cafe noir on the boulevard for
the ewe of 2 cents. It will not require
a mathematician to arrive at the cotclu•
siou that life in the student quarter does
not require a princely salary.
Stitches in a loan's coat.
That a lady's dress is a thins: fearfully
and wonderfully made is a fact that Cru
bo testified to by every man who has
ever tried to get something out of the
pocket wheu it was banging up in the
closet. But a man's coat and vest are
themselves by no means simple affairs,
but are the result of more labor thau
uny person not acquainted with the de-
tails of the tailor's trade imagines, re-
marks a writer in the Iudianapolis
Sentinel.
A coatmaker has taken the pains to
count the number of stitches necessary
in a coat and vest recently made by hint.
The coat was a single-breasted, three -
button cutaway, and the vest of the
present patteru. He found that
to complete the coat required ex-
actly 33,$56 stitches. and in the
vest 11,527. For the benefit of
those whtemay be interested in the fig-
ures these totals represented the follow-
ing : Bastiugs for the coat. 2575: for
the sleeves, 642 ; for the pockets, 183 ;
for the collar, 392 ; toral, 8792. Hand
stitches on tine coat, 8501 ; on the
sleeves, 1646 ; on the pockets, 396 ; on
the collar, under and upper, 2913 ; total,
18,454. Machine stitches on tate coat,
7578 ; on the sleeves, 8600 ; on the
pockets. 2720 ; on the collar, 396 ; total,
14,294. Button holes (wimp holes), 1814.
Bastutgs on the vest,1469; hand stitches,
2573, and 460 on the pockets ; machine
stitches, 3654, beside 8022 on the pockets
and 349 for the button boles ; total,
11,527. The machine stitches were
counted at the rate of eighteen to the
inch. On a coat and vest, then, there
are required nearly 50,000 separate and
distinct stitches.
A discussion in England concerning
the wages paid shirtmakers brought out
the information, based upon the esti-
mate of a practical shirtmaker, of the
number of stitches that are put into
every one of these garments : Stitching
the collar, 4 rows, 3000 ; sewing the
ends, 500 ; buttonholes and sewing ou
buttons, 500 ; sewing the collar and
gathering the neck, 1204; stitching
wristbands, 1228; sewing tate ends, 68;
buttonholes, 148 ; hemming the slits,
264; gathering the sleeves, 840 ; setting
ou wristbands, 1468 ; stitching on shoul-
der straps, three rows, 1880 ; hemming
the bosom, 893 ; sewing the sleeves,
2554 ; setting in sleeves and gussets,
8050 ; tapping the sleeves, 1526; sewing
the seams, 848 ; setting side gussets in,
424 ; hemming the bottom, 1104; total,
20,649.
Bow Wo Breathe,
Men and women do not breathe alike.
In a woman the breathing is from the
thorax, or chest, while in a man it is
mainly from the diaphragm, which is
lower down. This peculiar difference is
so marked that it is possible to recog-
nize by it a woman disguised as a man,
although the disguise may be faultless
in other respects,. Most physiologists
say that this difference is not duo to sex,
but owing to artificial conditions, such
as the wearing of corsets.
A Philadelphia doctor made a series
of investigations on the subject a short
time ago, and from this it would seem
that where the body is unconfined the
stomach moves in breathing, but where
corsets are worn the breathing moves
the chest. Eighty-two girls, from 10 to
22 years tf age, were examined, half of
whom were of pure Indian blood, the
others being of mixed descent. Seventy.
live breathed from the diaphragm, and
the other seven from the thorax or
side, The latter belonged to compare-
tively divilixed tribes,—Tit•Bits.

he arty, his mass, which is served by
two of his private dhuplains, and theu
he bears another called the muss of
thanksgiving, celel rated by one of his
chaplains and occasionally by ono of his
seoretariea.
After these two daily masses the Pope
breakfasts. This is a very simple meal,
consiating all through the year of simple
coffee and milk, with bread and nothing
more. 'Then his receptions begin. First
of all, us a general rule, he receives
Cardinal Rampolla, Papal Secretary of
State. He presents to the Pope the
doeuinents received at bbS office the day
before, or of those which should be fur-
nished with the signature of the Pope
and which should be despatched to their
destination during the day. This audt-
euce. which lusts over an hour, and
which is, its one may well imagine, of
the profoundest iuterest, does not take
place on Tuesday or Friday. 0.1 these
days Cie Pope receives the Ambassadors
and Ministers, representatives or foreign
governments to the Holy See. Witen
there aro documents on these days to be
signed they are brought by the Under
Secretaries of State.
The second reception of the day is
given to Cardinals, the heads of ecclesi-
astical congregations, the generals of re-
ligious orders, and personages or digne
taxies having special business with tite
Holy See. After this reception, if the
season is winter and the weather hap•
pew, to be good, the Pope interrupts the
course of audiences in order to take a
walk for halt au hour or so in the Vati-
oau gardens.
At 1 o'clock the Pope dines, following
in this the custom of the Romans. This
is the ordtuary rule. but it happens,
especially wheu there are many recap -
duns or audiences to be granted, that he
retrains till 2 or even 8 o'clock her'ni'a
dining. The severe simplicity which
marked the breakfast is in the dinner.
'fits consists of a soup, nearly always of
some form of macaroni ; of a plate of
meat with au accompaniment of fried
potatoes or other vegetables. Then fol-
lows fruit of some tort, and this com-
pletes the meal. The Pope never eats
boiled meat or forced treat, nor cheese.
He drinks a little wine—old Bordeaux—
which is supplied to Itim from the viae -
yard of a convent of nuns in the south
of France. As a general rule the Pope
reads the newspapers during the day.
Leo X11I. eats always alone, as eti-
quette requires. When he wishes to
scow special favor to n Roman prince or
to some personage of distinction, he in-
vites Ithu to a cull ,tion, which consists
of coffee and milk taken with him, after
mass. In order, besides, to obtain this
favor, it is necessary that the pers•.n
shall have had the honor of being ad-
mitted to the Pope's MUSS and of haye
ing received cominuUiOtt from his hands.
This of itself is a great distinction, but
it does not necessarily imply the other,
of being invited to breakfast with hint.
In the latter case, u small table is pre-
pared for the guest beside that of t e
-Pontiff. When the late Cardinal Pecci,
brother of Leo XIII., lived in the Vati-
can, he frequeutly went to the Pope
when dining, but only to keep hint com-
pany. It was quite touching to hear
the Cardinal speak of Leo XIII. Tue•a
,weeuetook. of veneration in his face us,
with "bated breath," Ile referred to "my
brother. the Sovereign Pontiff."
After dinner Leo X[II. rests for about
an hour in an armchair. He does nut
follow the itoutan custom of sleeping iu
the afteruoou ; itis activity and nervous
enemy are too great to submit to this.
Indeed, even at night his slutnt.ers
are frequently broken. After this rest
he takes a walk iu the' garden, pro-
vided the weather is good. Tne,e
walks are utade in company with a
cahteriere segreto—an ecclesiastic—and
u Lieutenant of the Noble Guards.
Weep Ire is tired of walking, lie enters
a carriage and is driven in the gardeu.
Tue carriage drive ie a little over a mile
in length. •
On his return from his walk or drive.
he again gives audiences or receives his
secretaries and Sets to work. About six
in the eveuiug he takes a cup of broth
and a tiny glass of Bordeaux.
The audiences continue in the evening
from 8 to 10 o'clock. Tltis rule of action
is orogen in upon at times, for now and
again the Pope retires alone into his
study to prepare hie work for the follow-
iug day.
At 10 in the evening he recites the
rosary with Mgr. Marzolini, one of Itis
secretaries and Poutificial Master of
Ceremonies, whom lie kuew as as very
youug boy in Perugia, and who attend-
ed tate seminary in that diocese tykes
Leo was Archbishop. Between 10.30
and 11 the Pope retires to rest after
taking a cup of broth and at small piece
of cold merit. Its sleep, as has been
said, is occasionally broken, especially
atter a futiguitig day, and again at the
change of toe seasous.—dais York Ad-
vertiser.
Gladstone us a Translator.
Tradition imposes upon every English
scholar•statesivau of the duty of trans-
lating sante, at any rate, if not all of
the Odes of Horace; and we are all
eagerly awaiting Mr. Gladstone's per•
formauee of this appointed task. He is
understood, or at least he is reported in
what may or may not have been a
picturesque legend of the newspapers,
to have completed his translation on the
very day on which lie teudered his
resignation to the Queen; and, if so. it
ought to make its appearance pretty
soon. Mr. Gladstone, it may be re-
meinbered, has already given his proofs
as a Horatian translator, though not,
One is bound to say, in such a manner
as to raise very high expectations. His
versions of the Pyrrha and Lydia Odes
published 80 years ago in the well-

than any other pieces contained in it.

what took place before a judge at crime -

howling and yelling in one of the houses.
There were cries of 'Murder 1' and
'Help 1' mingled with curses and groans.
It was a clturacteristic C.terry Hill mix-
ed ale row from all indications. lo it
iuhtute out staggered a drunken woman,
her forehead bleeding profusely' front a
gash oracle by some eltarp instrument.
Close atter her came a big, burly long-
shoreman brandishing n bottle. He
reached the woman and brought tae
bottle dowtr ou her head with terrific
force, stretching her to the pavement.
Then he begun kicking her. I started'
for biro, but one of the young men was
before me. He hit the lougshuretuau
just once, and that w;ts euouglt. The
ratan went down like a log.
"Then there was the devil to pay.
Half a dozen big ruffians poured out of
the doorway and made for the minister.
He knocked the first one off itis feet, but
the second ran in and grappled with

wore taking a hand in it. There was
noticing scared about those fellows then.
I afterward found out that they had all
been football players in college. They
fought like devils, and with the odds
against us we cleaned out the gang iu

to the hospital, where it was found that
she w•ar only slightly injured. Skulls

was a little the worse for wear. My hat
was lost in the scuffle. One of tate mine
isters had his coat torn half off, another
lost his spectacles and the temporary use
of one eye, while the chap that had
waded its first was wiping tate blood
from his face and nursing a sprained
thumb. When he said good night to
rue, lie remarked :

Scarcely- auy thing is lacking the men-

giving my plants a drink: he came to Ire
several tthtes, asking ate to have the
gate opened. Not caring to lay down
the hose, I paid little heed to his teas-
iugs, and lie determined to compass his
purpose in another way. To tele front
door he went, and pretsiug it found it
not latched, but requiring sotne•force to
throw it opeu. Then he backed out the
full width of the verandah, and running

Rare Presence of Riad.
"I knew a sea captain, who died some
years ago, who displayed great presence
of mind at a most critical time," said
Henry S. Roberts, of Boston. "lite
ship burl caught fire and the passengers
and crew were compelled to take to the
boats in a hurry. The captain rerrtaiued
perfectly cool throughout all the confu-
sion and fright of the embarkation, and
at last everyone but himself was got
safely into the boats. By the time he
was ready to follow the passengers were
wild with fear and excitement. In•
stead of hurrying down the ladder, the
captaiu called out to the sailors to hold
on a minute, and taking a cigar from
his pocket, coolly bit the end otf and
lighted it with a piece of the burning
rigging. Then he descended with great
deliberation and gave the order to shove
off. 'How could you stop to light a
cigar at such a moment?' he was • after-
wards asked by one of the passengers.
'Because,' he answered, 'I saw that if I
did not do something to divert your
minds there would likely be a panic and
upset the boats. The lighting of a cigar
took but a moment and attracted the at-
tention of everybody; you all forgot
yourselves in thinking about sty curious
behavior aattb we got safely away.' "—

The Feet.
Well, walking heats the feet, stand-
ing causes them to swell, and both are
tiresome and exhaustive when prolong-
ed There are various kinds of foot•
baths; authoritiea differ as to tleir
value. Hot eater splurges the feet by
drawing the blood, to them; when used
they should be rubbed or exorcised be-
fore attempting to put on a tight boot.
Mustard and hot water in the foot -
bath will side -truck a fever, if taken in
time; euro a uervoos headache and in•
duce sleep. Bunions and corns and
eallousness are nature's protection
against bad shoe leather. Two hot
foot baths a week will remove the
cause of much discomfort. A warm
bath with an ounce of sea -salt is almost
as restful as a nap. P.tidle in the
water until it cools, dry with a rough
towel, put on fresh atockiugs, have a
change of shoes, and the woman who
was "ready to drop" will have. a very
good uuderstanding in ten ,minutes.
The quickest relief from fatigue is to
plunge the feet in ice•cold water and
keep them immersed until there is a
sensation of warmth. Another tonic
for the sole is a handful of alcohol.
This is a sure way of drying the feet
after being out in the storm. Spirit
baths are used by professional dancers, -
acrabats and pe destrians, to keep the
feet in condition.

The social sensation of the week
was the death of "Laddie," a Scotch
terrier owned by the -Misses Carty of
No. 263, Jarvis Street, Tot onto. To
try to save the utuciebeloved pet of
these two maiden ).Mies, two doctors
were called in on Friday, but to no
avail, and Laddie departed to the after-
wor:d of good "dogdom." The sorrow-
ing .owners purchased an ornate silk-
iiued coffin of oak, with solid silver
handles, and in it laid poor doggy.
Next they endeavored to' procure a
cemetery permit, but the authorities
refused, and after several interviews
with the directors of Moult Pleasant
Cemetery, where the family vault:of
the Carty's stands, although discoun-
tenancing the burial, they gave permis-
sion for the placing of Laddie in the
private vault. The funeral took place
on Monday motning, the Misses Carty
acting as chief mourners. The bolls at
the entrance tolled and the scene of
Laddio's putting away was altogether
affecting. This novel incident has
given rise to much severe critcism up-
on the right of the directors to so
desecrate Mount Pleasant, that it is
likely some action will bo taken to
oust the Scotch terrier's remai 0e from
their resting -place iu the most pictur-
esque part of the ce metery.
