Ytry Amusing Predicament ol a Oh%t •la Rew Jener Heitbnrant Wl« )Vti Canght Pilfering. When Charles Blazee was leaving the Keystone restaurant In the Pennsylvania railroad station, Jersey City, the other day he cast an appreciative glance at himself in a big mirror, settled his silk hat a little more firmly on his head, and smoothed a suggestion of a wrinkle at the waist line of his frock coat. The scullery maids, peeping from the kitchen window, admitted that the restaurant had never employed a cook of more distinguished appearance than that same Charles Blazee. The cook had hardly reached the street, however, when he! vi as touched ’ on the shoulder by a policeman, who , took Blazee to the court of Police Justice Hooes to answer a charge of pilfering various tidbits from the larder of the restaurant. The justice took his seat and the attendant shouted: “Hats off!” Every one except Blazee complied. “Hats off!” again yelled the court officer, making n peremptory gesture at the cook. He shifted uneasily, but made no move to bare his head. A policeman stepped up to do it for him, but Blazee uttered a plaintive “Wait,” and gingerly began to take oIT the offending hat. It as a delicate job, and (he reason therefor as disclosed when a tomato can full ol chicken salad and a bag containing a dozen eggs were brought to view.

As he stopped to deposit those articles on the floor Blazee’s waistline wrinkled. The policeman noticed that and without ceremony slapped him on the solar plexus.

“Blest if he ain’t wrapped ‘up in grub," he declared, and, unbuttoning Blazee’s garments, disclosed a towel fastened about him like a money belt, but containing a dozen lamb chops instead of cash.

Birth «ft the PrinoMi in Italy’# n«ya) PtlM» Mean* Pottant to ■ Peaaant. Although the birth of a second prim ceaa was by no means welcome to the king of Italy, there is another person whose fortune and to some extent fame has been assured by that event. This is Yincenzina Stirpe, a buxom peasant woman from the mountains of Yerola, chosen to wet-nurse the young princess. Her duty accomplished, Yincenzina returns to her husband and her own babe with a pension of ?(500, a sum which represents luxury to the simple people from among whom she springs. King Victor Emmanuel 11, Is not without his superstitions, and It is commonly reported that he is convinced that his visit to the czar of Russia brought him the “evil eye” and that he cannot have an heir to his throne.

Princess Mafalda Is s sturdy little mite and is doing very well indeed.

Kirkland’s ejectro-magactic cannon, the one described in dispatches from Norway a year ago, is now engaging 'he attention of German artillerists u an Improved shape, Although it is nly available in forts and is too com* lex to be trusted to an ordinary gun* er, the German experts regard it as ie forerunner of a new type of ordi* a nee. The principle of the gun is !he passing of a powerful current through wire spirals in the herewithout heating. It throws a 50-poqnda projectile more than three miles with accuracy. But Birkland says he can increase the distance fourfold. Thia is the first electric gun German artlla lerists have found practicable. ,
