miles bas been graded, and reduced crews
have been left at different points along the

by the Canadian Government contractors,

times weekly. Contracts have been let
upon the Lake Superior section east from
Prince Arthur's Landing, and work Will
be Continued simultaneously along the

the shores OF Lake Superior, making

feasible. On the west the proposed point
of crossing the Rocky Mountains, as found
by Engineer Rogers and settled upon by

AQueer Joke.

The cash Office of the Treasurer De.
partment In the Treasury Building at
Washington often contains many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, and great
care is taken against the possible de
predations of thieves: The room is very
high studded and contains gallery
which can be reached by the general
public from the floor above. The inter-
est clerk is an auburn-haired individual
of the most nervous temperament, and
notwithstanding the fact that he has been
in his position for many years he has
never lost sight of the tremendous re-
sponsibility of handling the vast sums
of money which daily pass into his pos
session. His nervousness has grown
chronic, and he is made the butt of many
a quite practic al joke. The greatest of
these was played some time ago by one
of his intimate personal friends VINO OBJ
tained permission from Treasurer Gilfil-
Ian to try his little scheme. The gen.
tleman armed himself with about twen-
ty-five feet of twine, and attached to one
end of it a machine composed OF a steel
prod pointed IS fine as "a needle, and
solid piece of rubber as ballast. He
stationed himself in the gallery directly
over the interest clerks desk. where
there were heaps of money all nicely
done up in packages. Then he slowly
let down his string until it was directly
over large package, and releasing his
hold on the twine, the steel prod impal-
ed a bundle of notes, which he quickly
drew to the gallery, and having secured
them, rushed to the Treasurer's office
with his prize, which proved to be Sc.
600 in legal tenders. Meanwhile the In
terest clerk saw his money going sky
ward and gave the general alarm, but
not in tiue, however, to detect the cul-
prit. The clerk was nearly crazed when
he received anote signed 'James Giltil-
ian, asking him to come at once to the
Treasurer's office. He went as fast as
his legs could carry him, and imagine
his Joy when the Treasurer handed him
the missing So, 900, advising him to be
more careful that his money did not
take unto itself wings and fly away" IN
the future. This practical joke has
taught the department a good lesson,
to-wit; that it was possible for a clever
thief to abstract money in the method
mentioned, and so double precautions
have been taken, and under the existing
state of affairs such an event Is not at
all likely to happen again.

Tho Color of Horses. .

Considering how important a factor
color is IN the selling value of a team,
especially If the buyer places a high value
upon the general appesrance-the attrac-
tiveness of his turn-Out-it is a little sing
ular that No greater attention Is paid 10
breeding for colors that are especially
attractive. IL is well known that team
of richly dappled grsys, having long,
well carried tails, never go begging for a
buyer. even though they may be little
plain 10 form, have only a medium gait,
and feet and limbs that require gentle
usage and frequent aid from the veterin-
a-y surgeon. Such team does fairly
well for service before the family carriage,
if put to light use, and in the hands Of a
careful groom Will wear pretty well.
While selling quite readily at $500 or
5000, for city use, on account of its show
qualities, if it were stripped of these, by
giving it a plain color and the tail OF q
common plug, such team would 90 slow
at $3.50 or so. That is but an illustration
of what we see IN other lines, for instance
furs, certain shades selling for very high
prices as compared to others. What Is
tue of nice dapple-grey, Is also true OF
a rich black Ut bay team, provided they
have the accompaniment of full, flowing
name and tails, and fine, stylish appear
ance- Therefore, when 1t is considered
that the demand for horses, for the pur-
pose of making up snowy equipages, Is
very great in all the larger cities, it is a
little singular that no special attention is
given 10 breeding horses through which
scientists term methodieal selection.
Through adherence to a system, the quail
tiles mentioned could be secured, whereas
low, rich colors and ornamentatIon only
come OCCASIONALLY, through chance.

A BAD Man.

A story is told of a prominent Whining
tonian who several years ago was inclined
to be full of fun, II little irreverent and
somewhat short OF cash. One afternoon,
perhaps seven or eight years ago, he was
met by a friend who addressed him thus {:
81 say, Charley. who was that nice look
ing old lady, you had out riding the other
day on the Kennett pikei"
THAT" replied the young man, "was
nv rich aunt. She Is about % years old,
and l was afraid she had been forgotten
and was never gong to de, so took her
out to show her to the LORD"
The auestioner was somewhat shocked
at the reply, and made no further remarks.
In abcu. three weeks, however. he met his
friend Charley, the old lady IN the mesn-
time having died and been buried, and
thus addressed him: "Well, Charley, 1
see you plan worked, and the Lord has
taken your aunt. How did you make out
by her will.

lugubrlous cast of features and l-haveD't-

Wooden Leg Under Fire.

A fashionably dressed matron sat ID the
rear cabin OF a Fulton ferry boat, New
York She was accompanied by thin
legged, restless eyed little girl of OF
thereabouts. A few seats away was man
with a wooden leg. With unerring instinct
the child's eye had lighted upon this man.

that eye better facilities for observation.

Female Hallueination..

'sDr. Learand du Saulle, physician to
the Salpetriere, Paris, describes in his
standard work, Les Hysteriques,' some
remarkable casesof hallueination, where
females labored under the belief that
they have been struck or stabbed by
OF hers, even after having inflicted blows
and wounds upon themselves. In one
instance young woman was found by
her husband lying on the floor of her
room in fainting fit, her face covered
with blood. On revIving from her
swoon she stated that she had been at
tackled by armed men; the Paris news
papers related the case, and within
three weeks two similar events occurred
in the French metropolis. All these
cases proved to be fabricated by the
supposed victims. A young girl wound
ed herself slightly with pistol. She
gave the police authorities the most
minute details about an imaginary as
sassin, who, according to her account,
fired the weapon, but she was found to
be highly hysterical, and it was proved
that she had wilfully wounded herself.
In a third case in DIR. du Saulle's ex-
perience, a young woman was found In
a railway carriage stabbed Ill the left
side. The incident caused great excite
ment, but it was proved, contrary to
her assertions, that she had inflicted
the wound herself, and was hysterical
subject. A housemaid was found lying
behind a door, bound, gagged, and
covered with bruises, She stated that
she had been brutally attacked by two
burglars with blackened faces: but she
was highly hysterical woman, and
there appears to have been strong evil
dsnce that she had contrived to tie her
own hands and to gag and bruise her
self. Perhaps the strongest case of all
occurred In NJ. Tardieu's practice. A
young lady living at Courbeyoie wished
to make herself an object of public IN
terest by passing as victim of polltl-
cal conspiracy, which she pretended to
have discovered. One night she was
found in state of the greatest mental
perturbation at the door of her apart
ment. She could not talk; but statedin
writing that she had been attacked out
side her own house by man, who had
attempted to Rarrote her, at the same
time striking her twice with dagger.
Only the lady's clothing was injured,
and the body of her dress and her cor
set we're found to be cut through, but
at different levels. She tried to make
out that the attempt at stranguiatior
had caused dumbness. NJ Tardieu re,
marked in her hearing that this intirmity
rapidly disappeared when produced un
der circumstances of tins kind. Sin,
soon managed to regain her speech
and, In short time, admitted that th'
whole narrative had been developed on
of her inner consciousness.

THAT the Supreme Court of the United
States should decline TO interfere for the
purpose Of restoring to legal bar privileges
an individual disbarred for completely In
lynching operation seems emnently proper
the only wonder being that any man should
have the sublime impudence to ask such
intervention. Participation in such an out
rage by an ordinary citizen is bad enough,
but when an individual clothed with the
honors and privileges of the legal profession,
and doubly bound to respect and obey the
'aw, reduces himself to the level of one of a
lawless mob, 1t is not sufficient punishment
to merely abate his privileges. Lawyers are
not the most modest among men as rule,
but the individual from Tampa, Fla. is GER
tainly entitled to.wear the belt for unblush-
ing impudence.
