dead cats in an alley off Seventh street,
when he heard yells and the sounds of
conflict in house near by. AS he en-
tered the yard man and woman burst

steps in heap, kicking and clawing
with right good will.

the officer as he pulled them apart.

Anecdotes Of a Great Business Man.

The New York Mercantile Journal
prints sketch of the life of David
Leavitt, who died recently at the ripe
age of eighty-nine years. We quote
from the article:
The deceased was q prominent and
esteemed merchant and banker, and had
been intimately identified with the bust
ness interests of this city and Brooklyn
for more than three-score years. Many
of our most fourishing mercantile and
financial Institutions were either founded
by him or are largely indebted to his
active aid ard timely counsels for their
present prosperity. He was the founder,
and for many years president, of the
Brooklyn White Lead Company, one Of
the Oldest and most extensive establish
ments of the kind in this country.
Mr.. Leavitt was born at Bethlehem,
1871, and came to this city in the year
1913. He was employed as a clerk in
produce and commission house for sew
eral years, when, on obtaining his share
of his fathers estate, amounting TO about
$4,000, he began business on his own
account. At the outset of his career
John Jacob Astor imported cargo of
tea, and Mr.. Leavitt bought the entire
lot. During the progress of the nego-
tiations Mr.. Astor asked his customer in
broken English how he proposed to pay
for it. Mr.. Leavitt coolly drew from
his pocket the required amount in notes
drawn by Mr.. Astor, which young
Leavitt had boughtup on the street. An
instance of the pluck and energy which
made MIR. Leavitt successful merchant
was shown before he was twenty five
years old, when the Colombian govern
ment, being engaged in local war,
authorized its agents in this country to
build vessel, which was also to be pro-
vided with its armament and equipment
in this country. The agents were un-
willing to fulfil the commission. and
sought aid from other sources. Young
Leavitt heard of the matter, and under
took the enterprise. He built the vessel
and induced the United States govern
ment to assist him in its armament, and
then assumed command of the ship. He
sailed for the destined port. and arriving
safely, received 100000 in the currency
of the Colombian government and &
draft on the city of London for 100000
more, clear profit of 100000 as his
recompense. Realizing that Spanish
doubloons would be more easily nego-
tiated in this city than Colombian cur
rency, he stopped at Havana and made
the exchange. His sagacity was duly
rewarded, for on arriving at this port he
found that premium was being paid
on Spanish doubloonS, which netted
him considerable addition to his profits
in the transaction.

Remarkable Trees,

The last treaty with the Cherokee In
iians was signed beneath r giant white
oak that still stands near the Cherokee
corner, Oglethorpe, Ga.
At Wyoming, in Western New Y ork,
is an elm that measures thirty-four feet
abound the trunk. lis branches are
thirty-four feet from the ground.
A curious freak of nature can be seen
near Eureka, Cal. 1t is in the shape of
tree, seventy-tive feet high, one portion
of which is pine and the other fir.
Many oaks in England are 500 to 900
years old. The Newland oak is forty
seven feet six inches in girth. The
Cowthorp, now more than 100 years in
process of decay, still has girth of
sixty feet.
a peach tree in the garden of Mrs.
Caleb Crow, of Hartford, Ky, is bearing
Il full grown pumpkin. The NeWS says:
"This tree bore none of its natural fruit
this season; but nevertheless there
hangs the healthy growing pumpkin,
just as it had grown from the blossom to
its present size, which is much larger
than mans head"
Not a rivulet can be found on the
island of Fierro, one of the largest OF the
JCJ liItlc 10 IL SptCltS III lltt,
the leaves of which are narrow and
long, and continue green through the
entire year. These trees are continually
surrounded by II cloud which is con-
densed, and falling in drops keeps the
cisterns placed under them constantly
full.
The trunk of an old tree that resembles
block of plaster or cement may be
seen on the grounds of the Jardin des
Plantes, Paris. An inscription at tie
root of the branches announces that the
tree is the AcaciN Iirg,nenSis SpinOSa of
North America 1t was brought to
France in lt0l by Jean Robin, and was
planted in the place it now occupies by
Vespasian Robin, gardener to Louis
Kill, in 1856. This tree, which is now
278 years old, formerly reachod d great
height, but its topmost branches with
cred and had to be cut off to obtain new
shoots. All its branches are bound with
iron and carefully stopped with COM
position so that water cannot infiltrate
into the trunk of the tree, as that would
cause its death.

EstiyatiOn.

1t is curious that some creatures
which aIe allied to the nevis become
torpid, not by cold, but by heat, and
pass into a lethargic state, which we
will call estivation for want of bet
ter word. These creatures are called by
the name of Lepidosiren. popularity
known us mud fishes, and are found on
the muddy banks of certain African
rivers, tile Gambia being the best
known. During the fierce heats of an
equatorial summer the waters are dried
by the sun, and the mud baked into a
brick-like hardness, so that the lepidusi-
rens, which live chiefly on fish, would
die for the want of food.
But as soon as the summer heats be-
gin the lepidosirens bore deeply into the
mud, double themselves up, and pass
into Il state of lethargy exactly parallel
10 that of alternating animals. AS in
Information, they require neither to
breathe nor to eat, and remain in their
cells safe from all foes until the rainy
season returns and converts their brick
like homes into aud. / have had MANY
specimens of estivated lepidosirens, and
have always found them in the same
position, not coiled but doubled up,
with the tail partly over the head

Once, on their journey thither, after a
shopping excursion in the city, they
chanced to be overtaken by the magnifi-
cent carriage of Paul Hayden, million
aire. Mrs. Hayden, resplendent in a
toilet fresh from the Gtelier of Worth,
sat therein. She was brown-eyed and
pink-cheeked and very handsome. Yet
her face looked worn and wearied. 1t
lacked the look of true and perfect hap
piness that Helen's wore.
Helen caught the somewhat anxious
look that her husband turned upon her,
as the great lady drove slowly by.
She smiled. Under cover of her
pretty silken shawl her hand stole into
his.
Never for one moment had she for
gotten the lesson of that long-past sum-
mer's day. Never had she ceased from
banking God that it had been given,

no Takes Care of the Sultan,

The revelations of NJ. Abdul Hakk, a
writer in the NOuuelle ReuielO, resemble
the stories of Thousand and One
Nights" and one might be easily
tempted to disbelieve the existence of
such state of affairs at the doors of
European civilization if the details fur
nished by the writer were not sup
ported by the undeniuble proofs of truth
fulness. He tells us that the sultan is
surrounded by hundreds of young
women; he employs for what the writer
terms his family service" body of
forty young women, selected carefully
from among the handsomest in the pal
ace. The duties they have to perform
are to dress and undress him, to accom-
pany him to the bath, to keep his hair
and finger nails in order and lull him to
sleep. He keeps ballet of fifty girls,
who perform several dances every eve
ming after supper while his highness is
resting on divan. He also has band
of thirty female musicians and about
sixty others who take charge of his
apartments, clean his narghiles and Chi
bouques, and perform other similar du-
ties. In short, the whole service in the
palace is done 10y female slaves, chosen
from among the most attractive ones in
his dominions, and it may well be said
that Turkey, which does not recognize
the social existence of a woman, SUBJ
mits to being practically governed by
women

Henry l.. Carlton, a teamster of Stock
ton, New, saw this puzzle ard tried to
unravelit. He worked at the thing for
four months until at last he became vio-
lently insane. DR.. McMecan, of Stock
ton, decided that Carlton was clean daft,
and upon certificate issued by him
Carlton has been confined in the Esmcr-
aida county asylum.
An application of electricity to the
mouths of unruly horses promises to
be more successful than even Rarey's
method. A metallic conducting wire
runs from Clark magnet on the seat
OF the wagon or carriage. through
the reins to the horses bits. By
turning the crank of the magnet a
current OF electricity is induced and sent
to the animals mouth. No violent
shock is given to benumb or alarm the
horse, but the slight pricking sensation,
peculiar to electrical influence, surprises
and subdues him. 1t was invented by
Nj. Depuy, but the superintendent OF the
Paris omnibus company brought it to
public notice. An electric whip, to pre-
vent rearing or turning suddenly, is an
other ingenious invention. We seem to
be just learning the application of the
wonderful power of electricity to daily
life, although it has so long been tanned
to serve us as n messenger.
Now and then n notorious case of lost
boy or lost man excites the country, and
people fall to wondering how it is pos
slble, since telegraphs, newspapers and
detectives have come into existence,
that these mysterious disappear ances
can occur. The fact of the matter is,
however, says the Philadelphia Times,
that mysterious disappearances are oc-
curing ut the rate of something more
than one day. At the New York pc =
lice headquarters alone, during the past
year, more than three hundred case
have been reported of men and boys
who have disappeared and of whom no
trace whatever has been found. The
majority of these lost ones belonged in
New York or the immediate vicinity
thus making the average estimated rate
of one disappearance day in the whole
country, an estimate very much within
bounds. While these figures seem
rather startling, there really is ground
for surprise that they are not greater
When we consider the dangers of great
cities, the possibility of dying unknown
while upon a journey, and above all, the
temptation that besets so many men tC
hide crime or indiscretion by slipping
silently out OF their accustomed places
in society, the wonder is not that sC
many people but that SO few people AZ,
lost.

Sad Result of a Practical Joke.

Brooks Gould was perhaps the most
popular young man in Chicago. Gen
eral j. M. Waite, a middle aged man of
the same disposition, set Gould down as
his first friend and the two were to-
gether a great deal When they entered
the apartments of the general on Satur-
day afternoon not long ago, Gould, who
had about him the dash and sparkle of
Mercutio, proposed that they should
disarrange the furniture to make the
negro servant, Joe, fancy that the rooms
had been robbed. The joke was carried
out. Valuables were removed, the bed
overturned and things put topsy turvy q
Ia burglar, the wags retiring to the
bathroom at Joe's football in the hall
way. Joe reached the door and stood
aghast. With mouth agape and eyes
wide open he scrutinized in one look the
innermost corners and then straightway
walked to the door OF the bathroom.
This he found locked from within. He
put his ear to the keyhole. Faint sounds
of breathing reached him. He pulled
out a revolver and instantly emptied
every chamber into the panels of the
door. General Waite felt his young
friends body quiver ut the first shot and
threw his arms around him. Death fol-
lowed instantly.
