Undersigned Cheating
From the Boston Globe.

A West end gentleman recently at
tended a poker party, where he in
dulged IN numerous glasses of wine
and parted with most of his cash.
Midnight found him on fremont
street with just 65 cents in his pocket
"a so cent piece, a dime, and nick
el. Hailing a herdic, he requested
the driver to take him to his home on
Boylston street. When the latter
was reached the gentleman, produc-
ing his half dollar, asked the driver If
he had a quarter. The driver, after
careful search, regretted that he had
nothing smaller than dollar, which
he produced. The gentleman, feeling
poor, was disinclined to pay double
fare, and the herdic driver was equal
ly averse to accepting Is cents for
his fare. They pondered the matter a
while and at last happy thought
struck the gentleman. 81 will tell
you," he said Frightening, here are
IS cents; you give me the dollar
that's near enough" The herdic driver
handed over the dollar, thanked the
gentleman for his kindness, and
drove away; and the gentleman,
pleased with his own ingenuity, enter
ed the house, where it flashed across
him what he had done.

The King of the Andes.

OF the 20 volcanoes surrounding
the ancient city of Quito, the lowest
is over $4,000 feet, and the highest
(Chimborazo) is nearly 10000. Old
'Chimbo," the king of the Andes, has
forbidden man to study him. Three
thousand feet of impossible snow
clinging to a cone of granite whose
sides are too steep to be climbed, even
with scaling ladders, prevent the sum-
nit from being reached. There is a
legend that "Chimbo" was once half
a mile higher than now. On one of
his sides stands a MASSIVE rock, per-
haps the largest piece of granite in
the world, which is called the lnca's
head. The Indian traditions say that
this was once the crest Of Chin borazo,
and that it fell the day Atahualpa,
the last of the Incas, was strangled
by Pizarro. Geological inquiry might
ascertain the truth of this tradition.
but the summit of the peak can be
studied only through the telescope.
The bravest climber has only reached
an altitude of II, 500feet. The nouns
tain is said by experienced travellers
to be the grandest in the world. AIS
though the Himalayan peaks are
higher, they do not rise SO abruptly
nor do they stand so near the sea.
Chimborazo's head is eternally white,
as his feet are eternally green, and
the latter lie under the palm trees in
the tangled iungles of Guayaquil.

Ladies' Cooperative Schemes.
Pittsburgh Dispatch

Ladies are beginning to practice CO.
operation in a small way, and they
find it pays We have heard OF a
party Of three or four, who wear the
same size Of gloves, that buy dozen
pairs al time and divide them around.
They also buy stockings, handker-
chiefs, fowls, sheeting, muslin, Jun
derwear and other things wholesale,
and in this way they save the retail
ers' profit. This is hard on the mid
dlemen, but in these days Of reductions
and shrinkages of incomes it would
seem to be a measure Of legitimate
economy. We hear talk among them,
also of the Utopian felicity Of living
so near together that they can further
economize IN the way Of help by hiring
one frst-class cook TO do the cooking
for the four families. In this way
they could secure better living than
now, when each family, whether of
two or ten, has each a middling cook
of no ability above the common. This
strikes us as an admirable idea. 1t is
just as easy to cook for six as TWO, or

Some Of Our Terrible Children.

met the other day q mother with
her daughter, a distinguished young
miss of II or 13. I was introduced to
her, in which process she behaved
with all the gravity Of q duchess. She
was just home from a school with the
high-sounding title of university, :"
and [ was informed, as a proof of her
superior intelligence, and I also pre-.
sumo of the powers of the university,
that she "had finished algebra IN less
than six months!" [ replied that the
performance was extraordinary, for [
myself had given considerable atten~
ton to the same, study for some twenty
five years and [ felt [ had probably
mastered about one>third of the sub~
ject. [ saw, IS we parted, that the
estimate which she had held nay men
tai capacities fell to zero, and that the
damsel felt herself considerably above
me, at any rate as far as algebra was
concerned. L asked little girl of IL
the other.day what she was doing. She
had Just finished the Binomia1 Theor-
en-! This absurd process of what is
called, forsooth, education, ''puffs up"
the minds of children until, what
wonder is it? they feel on a par with
their elders, and disport themselves as
men and women, not knowing, alas !!
the rules of courtesy, nor having
learned the restraint of self, which is
the root of all decent behavior.

Russian Mobiles.

The Russian mobiles are just now
celebrating the centenary of their
rights and privileges granted by
Catharine IT, They are mongrel
crew those Russian mobiles. Some are
of English descent like the Greighs
some Irish like the Lascys; some
Scotch like the Hays; some Dutch
like the Souchtelus, and some Italians
like the princely family Of Panina.
Many of them are of French origin,
and there is a whole host of German
mobiles. There are Tartar and Greg
orian aristocrats like the Mechicher-
skis and Bagradious, while the Lazar-
effs are of Hindoo origin, their ances-
tor having been ennobled because he
robbed an idol of its diamond eye,
which he presented to Catharine IL.
There are Russian mobiles who come
from much farther a field than any OF
the ABOVE. The family Of Pouschkine,
the national poet, IS Of negro origin,
the first of the line having been valet
to Peter the Great. Then there are
mobiles of Lavonian, Esthonian, Cour-
landian, Polls, Finnish and among
others even of Turkish blood, Such
is the motley crowd that goes to make
up the encourage of the czars. and
who stir up the jealousy OF the purely
Russian nobility, as the Gortchakofs,
the Dalgoroukis, the Obolenskis and
the Krapotoklns-the direct descen
dants, as they say, of ancient Bouriks.

Some Hard Drinkers.
London Society.

In this age of blue ribbon and tenn
perance movement it is curious fact
to reflect on that some of our best pre-
ductions In English literature emanat-
ed from bard drinkers. 1t is a melan-
choly reflection, but it is true one.
Take the case of Dryden, Steele,
Fielding, Bunns, and many more.
We got nothing from them except as
the outcome of jolly good drinking
''bout." Rabelais would point to his
bottle and say: ''Here is my source
Of inspiration; this is my cabalistic
fountain; drinking I deliberate, de-
Iiherating I drink" Although poor
Southey can hardly be included in
this company, he had a sneaking
kindness for hot rum punch, with
just s0Mpc0a of black currant jelly.
Byron could never get along at any
price without the stimulating aid OF
gin and water-gin, too! Of all the
common Seven Dials' coarse, besot~
ting drinks Even honest, simple
minded Gluck, the famous composer.
could only manage matters with a
bottle Of champagne beside him. In
deed tell it not in CATH, all the
great composers of his period at
tributeG their success to the influence
of great excitement. III the case of
Gluck, when he wanted 10 wind him
self up to a certain pitch, and arouse
mis- imagination he would trot himself
out into beautiful part of the coun-
try, settle down on some lovely lawn
or meadow, order out piano and a
bottle of champagne, and then-sur-
rounded by ali the beauties Of nature
and the grandeur of the scenery
compose such marvellous works as
"Alcestis" and ''Iphigenia in Aulls. y

BISMARCK'S NEPHEW.
Young Baron UIrich Won Puttkan e r
Makes n Sudden Visit to America.

An unostentatious, modest young
man, who enjoys a glass of beer and
a good cigar, and who may be seen
lettering about the Park Hotel in
Hoboken, has been the center Of at
traction among the many German
residents of Hoboken and the officers
of the German steamers who cor gre
gate at that place. He is % Years Of
age, but looks younger, and mas the
appearance of a man who has enjoyed
life and is willing to continue to en-
Joy it, instead Of breeding over mis-
fortunes and straining his nervous
system In trying 10 solve the un-
certainties of the future. He is Of
medium size, with d rosy, jolly face,
brown hair, and small, hight color
ed mustache, which he wakes and
curls upward on either side of his
face.
4 Timesereporter asked the hotel
proprietor last evening if il VAS true
that the young man was s. nephew Of
Bismarck, as had been reported. The
proprietor believed that he was, and
that he must have left home very
suddenly, because he lad brought
little baggage or money with nlm-
He then introduced the reporter to
the Baron. who said that his full
name was Ulrich Won Puttkamer,
and that his family came from Pom
erania. His father and the Princess
Bismarck were first cousins. His father
died IN 1879, and had been landrath
and captain of cavalry IN Versin,
where the young baron was born,
and where the family estates are. The
Baron was the eldest son and had
been a lieutenant III the army, when
ne had been obliged to leave home
suddenly.
How was that's" asked the reporter
Did you have a duel about some
handsome lady?"
'sOh, nothing Of the kind" replied
the Baron, I got into a quarrel with
my major and refused to obey his
orders, That is an unpardonable
ofense IN the German army and
had 10 leave"

be-as to cooperate in cooking, laun-
dry work and other matters, house
keeping might be so simplifed as to
become business combining comfort
and pleasure instead of a toll and task
beyond the mental and physical
ability of most women to conduct In
the best manner. The bureau of house
keeping, combined with the care of
children, their clothing and all the
thousand and one other things to-
gether, are the cause of the breaking
down of most women. Modern ideas

home cargoes of whale oil and bone
from the southern banks or the Iris
tan and Crozette grounds, getting a
very small price for the oil, and as for
his shareof the whalebone, he thought
himself pretty fortunate if he got the
odd 10 cents on the pound for il, let
alone the So. He is thinking of the
time and labor he has spent in secur
ing SO many tons of stuff which hare
ly paid for the handling when it was
finally brought to market, and of the
exceptionally big catch in the Lively
Sally, which would have made him
almost millionaire if the present
price current had ruled in his younger
days. We can well remember the
time when large proportion of our
whalers were fitted expressly for pur~
suit of the sperm whale, and when the
owners and officers of such ships held
all wbalebone whales in contempt, as
hardly worth wasting their time upon
Those who went on right whaling
voyages brought home the bone toe,
for it was worth something and serv-
ed to exc out the earnings, enabling
them to estimate the proceeds of the
whole catch at the rate of a few cents
higher on a gallon. It was regarded
as a kind of subordinate attachment
to the oil, like the straw to the wheat,
or the stover to the corn crop, but
who, in those days, could ever have
supposed that the commercial value
of the two commodities would be
revolutionized? For the expense and
DANCE rous venture now being made
into the Arctic regions by a compare
lively few ships each summer might
well be called a voyage for bone and
oil rather than for oil and bone.
