Beds or Greenbacks.

1t was recently discovered who had
for years been robbing the money drawer
of Bailey's Hotel, up on the Old York
road, above Rising Sun lane
While some of the workingmen were
engaged last week in tearing up some
boards on the second floor for the pur-
pose of running a chimney through q
room, they made startling discovery,
and one which will relieve the minds of
many innocent men. Half dozen rat
nests were found, and the downy touches
of the rodents were formed of green
backs OF various denominations, dollars,
fifty, twenty-five and ten-cent notes.
Most of the currency was chewed up
so as to be worthless. The men gathered
up the pieces and endeavored to put the
NOES together, and out of what would
fill quart measure only $1.25 was
found that could be used. The search
was continued, and resulted in the find
of more nests with greenback bedding.
The touches were soft and cosy, and the
thieves had been enjoying themselves at
the expense of the numerous hotel pro-
prietors. The bar-room was located
Immediately below where the money was
found, and the robbers made free use of
the money drawer. The furnishing of
the place was old style, and the house
being an antique one, was almost over
run with rats.
They would get into the back end of
the drawer, seize note and run of with
it to their hiding place in the ceiling be-
tween the first and second floors. When
the barkeeper would go to make the
change the drawer would be empty, and
he of course believed the proprietor had
emptied it, and the landlord had his
suspicious that his servant, the drink
mixer, was quietly becoming wealthy at
his expense. If rats only had the fac
ulty of enjoying joke how they could
have laughed at the discontinue of the
hotel folks.
The secret was well kept and the
thieving must have been carried on for
a long term of years. The character Of
the currency found shows this The
ten, twenty-five and fifty cent notes
prove that the period of peculation has
extended back to war times. Alto
gether it was estimated that in the two
large piles found there was over 81 900.
The hotel is of historic interest and
is well known as the headquarters of the
Philadelphia Agricultural Association,
an organization of half q century ago.

MacarOni.

Once upon thee wealthy Palermi-
tan noble owned a cook gifted by nature
with an inventive genius One day, in
q rapture of culinary composition, this
great artist devised the farinaceous tubes
CT led "macaroni," which all love so
well, and the succulent accessories of
rich sauce and grated parmesan, familiar
to those who have partaken of ''maca.
roni al sugo" i'll Souther Italy. Having
filled n mighty china bowl with this de-
licious compound, he set it before his
lord-a gourmet OF the first water and
stood by to watch the effect of his ex.
pertinent. The first mouthful elected
the e)aculatious "Cari !" automatically
equivalent to excellent" in English,
from the illustrious epicure. After swal-
lowing second modicum he exclaimed,
"Ma Carl I" or Excellent indeed I"
Presently, as the flavor of the tooth
some mess grew upon him, his enthusi-
asm grew to even higher fights, and he
cried out, in voice tremulous with
joyful emotion, "Ma caroni I'-'Indeed,
most supremely, most sublimely and
superlatively excellent !" In paying this
verbal tribute to the merits of his cooks
discovery he unwittingly bestoyed a
name upon that admirable preparation,
which has stuck to it ever since, says the
London Telegraph.

IT may not be generally known, says
the Pail Mall Gazette, that systematic
experiments upon pigs are being made
these days at Paris by group of scien-
tific men with the view of ascertaining
the precise action of alcohol upon
the processes of digestion, respiration
and secretion. In a very interesting
paper upon these experiments by nj.
Duiardin Beaumetz we find it stated,
with touch of unconscious humor, that
the pig has been chosen to experiment
upon because, in the first place, his di-
gestive apparatus closely resembles in
all essential respects that of man and,
in the next place, because the pig is the
only animal (beside man, we presume)
that will ungrudgingly consent to be
"dosed" with alcohol. 1t was the in
tention of the National Temperance
League to invite M. Beaumetz and his
colleagues to an international congress
of scientific alcoholists, which was to
be held in London in August next; we
learn, however, that the executive of
the league has resolved to abandon
this idea for the present. Further, we
are given to understand that the con-
gress, at which the final results of the
Investigations of M. Beaumetz and his
conductors are to be made known, will
be held in the autumn at the Hague.

How AlligatOrs Eat.

An alligator's throat is an animated
sewer. Everything which lodges in his
open mouth goes down. He is lazy
dog, and, instead of hunting for some
thing to eat, he lets his victuals hunt for
him. That is, he lies with his. great
mouth open, apparently dead, like the
'possum. Soon bug crawls into it,
then fly, then several gnats, and col
ony of mosquitoes. The alligator don't
close his mouth yet. He is waiting for
a whole drove of things. He does his
eating by wholesale. A little later a
lizard will cool himself under the shade
of the upper jaw. Then few frogs will
catch the mosquitoes. Then more mos
quitoes and gnats will alight on the
frogs. Finally a whole village of rep
tiles and insects settle down for an after
noon picnic. Then, all at once, there is
an earthquake. The big jaw fails, the
alligator blinks one eye, gulps down the
entire menagerie, and opens his great
front door again for more visitors"

A Great Paper.

Many pieces of old paper are worth
their weight in gold. / will tell you of
one that you could not buy for even so
high price as that. 1t is now in the
British Museum in London. 1t is old
and worn. 1t is more than 666 years
old.
1t is not easy to realize how old that
is. Kings have been born and died,
nations have grown up and have wasted
away, during that long time. There
was no America $50 far as the people
who lived at that time knew when this
old paper was written upon. America
was not discovered for nearly 800 years
after it. A King wrote his name on this
old paper, and though he had written
his name on many other pieces OF paper,
and they are lost, this was very care
fully kept from harm, though once it
fell into the hands of tailor, who was
about to cut it up for patterns, and Mt
another time it was almost destroyed by
fire.
Visitors go to look at it with great in :
terest. They find it a shriveled piece of
paper, with the Kings name and the
great seal of England on it; but thew
hhoW Ihat III sIanuS lor EnBlisu uperty,
and means that-as the poet Thompson
wrote in the song, "Rule Britannia -
Britons never shall be slaves" It is
called the Magma Charta," which
means simply the "Great Paper"
There have been other great papers, and
other papers that have been called
"charters," but this one is known the
world over as the Great Paper"
