The conversation ran on, and the visitor said
finally:

Lion opened one eye Yes said his mis-
tress, she is very good dog, and takes excellent

Lion opened the other eye, and waved his tail

her. and | feel perfectly sure that 10 harm can
come to her, his mistress went on.
Lions tail thumped up and down violently on
the carpet.
'And he is so gentle to them all. and such a
playmate and companion to them that we would
not take thousand dollars for him.
Lions tail now went up and down, to and fro

A NEW CRAZE IN BOOKS.
Collectors Paying High Prices for Original
Editions of Standard Works.
New York Mail and Express.


An importer of standard English books, said
yesterday, when questioned by a reporter: 1--WE
have been established since 1840 and have had
branch house in London for twenty years whose
only object is to gather works for the trade.
The trade in standard works has changed consid-
erably. At one time we sold very largely to
libraries throughout the country, but this has
been cut OFF, The librarians go abroad now &c
make their purchases They get nice vacation
by so doing, and save enough money to pay ex.
penses. How 500 Because the books they
buy, being for libraries, are admitted
here free Of duty, whereas we are obliged
TO pay duty on all that we get Yes,
there has been a great change in the way
our trade runs. The taste for standard works
is increasing, but just now the is for orig
inal editions of standard writers. It has been
the means of putting up prices. There is also
great demand for the first editions of books
illustrated by Cruikshank Why, two little vol
umes of Grimm's Tales illustrated by him,
bring $75, and Pierce Egans Life in London in
one volume, is worth $780, Books with Lpechs
Comic History of England and Rome, which
has colored plates. The original edition of this
brings $40 The object of most people seems to
be to pick single works of first editions and
thus get the cream of favorite authors. For
instance Thackerays Comic Sketches, in two
volumes, brings $75.
1--WE have just received an order for sixteen
volumes of Dickens, in the original editions. for
when we nave mad TO send abroad. When com
pleted. the lot will cost it's purchasers from $3.50
to $4OO One of the rarest of Dckens-and it is
very rare-is a little pocket volume, limo in
size, and entitled Sunday Under Three Heads
| have no doubt the sketch is included in his
works, but this little book is worth $50 to col
lectors. Among the rare works we have are five
volumes of the famous Major Edition.

volumes, and sells for $780, although it is quoted
as high as $3.50. The plates are very fine. and
the edition quite limited AS a rule single
volume of the set sells for $50 Another Set
that has solid value is Mrs. Jameson's art
works, in six volumes. They are worth $3.50.
An original edition of Dickens short time ago
sold for $3.50. 1t was sixty eight volumes, and
that was very low price for it. The same set
was held elsewhere at 81 $50"

and observation. opens up a stupendous sugges-
tion. He asked the other day, Have you
thought much of the physical effect 0. t tina
Panama canal?
Not much"
We'll, let me throw out suggestion. The
Pacific ocean is five times large the Atlantic
The rotary motion of the EARTH acting on water
near the equatorial line, of course has a ten
dency to pile it up. The bulk of the Pacific
being so much larger than the Atlantic is lifted
twenty eight feet higher than the Atlantic For
the same reason, that of it's bulk, it is about
twenty degrees colder. Now imagine the effect
of this enormous body of water, twenty-eight
feet higher in level and twenty degrees lower in
temperature, being poured into the Atlantic
through the canal"
why doesn't it seek it's level below the cape?'
because that point of meeting is so far from
the equatorial line that the centrifugal force is
not so great, and the levels of the two oceans
are the same. Up about the Panama, the differ
ence In levels is great, and the immense volume
OF the Pacific will rush down into the Atlantic
with terrific force"
And with what effectl'
THAT is almost beyond speculation. But
changed the current of the gulf stream That
one change would wipe out the cotton and rice
industry making Georgia many degrees colder
These are speculations but the cold facts are as
stated and 1t is interesting to think Of what
will be the effect when this canal is cut and the
high immensely of the Pacific is dropped to the
level Of the Atlantic"

The Overgrown SchoOlboy's Wife.

London Letter in San Francisco Argonaut.
Lady Randolph Churchill is, to my taste one
of the most beautiful women | ever saw. Dark
tall ana commanding, with simply perfect
figure; her face the clear olive of its complexion,
the softness and wonder of its large dark eyes
and the classic outlines Of its features, is not
only one to charm an artist, but one from which
the eye of the fascinated beholder never wants
to wander. She has the most beautifully mold
ed arms and as she stepped down from the plat
form caught glimpse of one of the tiniest of
feet, whose perfection of smallness and shape
can IN no better way describe than by saying
that both were-American. One of her greatest
charms was her apparent Inconsistencies of her
own beauty.

Awful Effects of Egg-Nog.
Waycross tGa.) Reporter.

In certain town not far from Waycross
snake was meandering over the town recently.
and happened to pass the back door OF bar
room. An empty key, with bunghole open, both
heads in, was living near the steps,
and his snakeship. having robbed
hens nest, decided to crawl into the bung-
hole of the keg and take a drink
This. we suppose, was accomplished, but the
end that did the drinking got so drunk that the
power of the body could not extricate itself Ii
could not crawl into the barrel because the eggs
which had been swallowed were larger than the
bung and would not shrink Then it was shown
that eggs and whisky are not only good for
nogs, but in this case caused the capture and
death of a large chicken snake.
