The Great Historian,

George Bancroft has Just returned
to Washington" says the Washington
correspondent Of the Cleveland Leader.
Il saw him on horseback yesterday. He
was coming in from q ride at just the
time the churches had finished their
morning service. Bancroft wore suit
OF black, and his white locks were crown
ed With cap which had q large visor
covering the eyes. The top OF the cap
was fiat and it sat close down upon the
head of tie old historian. Mr.. Bancroft
leaned to the side as he rode, and he ap-
peared very tired, though he would
probably scorn this insinuation, George
Bancroft is now sc years of age. His
form lis thin and every atom of it is tough
as piece Of curled walnut. By continu-
GUS exercise and simple living he keeps
himself in splendid condition, and he
works right along year after year"

During call at photographer

seedy man, with hair of the length con-
sidered fashionable for cranks, was intro
duced to me, and when he discovered
that I was representative Of the Jour
nal, he became very sociable and COM
municative. "Pve q scheme I want to
introduce to your notice." he observed,
much in the style Of Colonel Sellers
when expatisting on the virtues of his
eye-water. "Just cast your eye over
that" and he handed me q letter.
Seems to be very good hand-writ
ing," I remarked, not being impressed
otherwise. Exactly, sir! You can
read it well, can't your Very good!
Now do me the favor to step in here a

where followed with some trepidation,
not being quite sure that the mysterious
person would not cut my throat. BE

ENGLISH BILLIARDS.
A Silly and Stupid Game that Is Obsolete
in America.

A Silly and Stupid Game that Is Obsolete
in America.
The Pail Mall Gazette inquiries, in con-
nection with the bankruptcy of Cook, the
famous billiard player, whether the Eng
lish taste for ''billiards and show games"
is dying out The facts 10 this case are
certainly curious. Cook is one of the
best English players, End occupies a
position like that of Schaefer or Slosson
In this country. Yet he swore that
while the rent of his saloon was 81 $50
and his marker and his waiter cost him
$25 week the gross receipts of his
place since April had not exceeded the
latter amount weekly. He attributes his
misfortune to decline in the popularity
of the game. Every body knows that in
this country the popularity OF billiards
is steadily increasing. There Is not a
billiard saloon in New York of which the
weekly receipts are SO small as that OF
the saloon kept by one of the most fam
GUS players in London, while player of
Cooks rank could earn salary greater
than Cooks total receipts by simply
playing every day in one place and thus
attracting customers to it. In general
way Englishmen are quite as fond of
games, either of skill or chance, as Ameri-
cans are, and it seems odd that while
billiards are more played in the United
States they should be less and less
played in England.
The difference must be looked for n
the difference between English and
American billiards. The British conser-
vatism which Emerson described as
'prehensiity of tail' is shown in moth
ing more strikingly than in the manner
in which the English cling to the most
crude and antiquated forms Of pastime.
Cricket is game which nobody who is
duly impressed with the shortness and
uncertainty Of human life has any bust

The Maiden Assurance Society

Chicago Inte1-Ocean.
There is society supported in Den
mark which is wholly unique Of its kind,
different from all other associations
founded in other countries. It is known
as the maiden Assurance Society" Its
purpose is to provide for class which
in other countries is largely thrown upon
it's own resources, when not provided
against want by the inheritance of prop
erty-single women Of wel-to-do fami
lies. It shelters and cares for them,
relieving all their pressing necessities,
and providing each with small allow
ance Of spending money. Its methods
are thus described:
As soon as a girl child is born to him
the father enrolls her name in certain
association and pays certain sum, and
thereafter q fixed sum to the society.
When she has reached the age Owe
believe-21, and is not married, she be-
comes entitled to fixed income, and to
suite of apartments in large building
OF the association, with gardens and
park about it, inhabited by other young
or older ladies who have thus become
members.
II her father dies in her youth, and
she desires it, she has shelter in this
building, and at fixed time her own in
come. When she dies or marries, all
this right to income lapses, and the
money paid in swells the endowment Of
the association.
Her father may pay for twenty years,
and then her marriage cuts off all the
advantage OF insurance, But this very
chance must enable the company tc
charge lower annual premiums, and
make the burden less on the father in
suring. He has, anyway, the pleasant
feeling that his small annual payments
are insuring his Daughters future, and
giving her q comfortable home and in
come after he has gone.
It is obvious that the chances for mar
rage among given number of women
can be calculated as closely as those of
death. The plan has worked we'll for
generations in Copenhagen.

An Incident in Real Life.

Chicago Herald.
In the smoking salon of west-bound
sleeping car was man of about 35 years
"a wealthy, active-looking man of {
lively spirit and ready tongue. Story.
telling was the order of the hour, an6
the traveller in question did more thar
his share, and with such display o. vi
vacity and humor that his fellow passen
gers instinctively set him down in theil
mental notebooks as one of the jollies
and happy men they had had the pleas
ure of meeting for many day.
Suddenly, and in the midst Of one o
his liveliest stories, he was compelled by
coughing to pause in his recital He die
not at once resume, and when his expec.
tant listeners looked at him more closely
to discover the cause of the delay, they
saw that he was as pale as sheet an6
trembling violently. In his eyes was 6
wild expression, and his lips twitched
nervously.
"He is ill-bring a glass of water,
some one cried.
But the story-teller waved negative
gesture with his hand, and made visi.
bic effort to control himself and speak.
"It-it is nothing" he said, after g
few moments. 1T is nothing, gentle
men, but that cough. Did you hear it f!
It was not much, was ii? And yet to me
it means good deal. Boys, six years
ago I had three brothers and two sisters.
Now I have neither brother or sister. !
am the last of family of six children.
One by one they took consumption and
quickly fell before the destroyer. First
Emma, then Clarence, next George and
Harry within two months Of each other,
and finally Kate, my favorite sister.
Within three years they all died. And
now-it is my turn. It has been pc.
culiarity of the work of that terrible dis
ease in our family that in every case ii
made it's presence manifest by peculiar
cough. It was so with all of them. II
seems that at last it is so with me.
"Boys, that cough which came to me
a few moments ago was the first warn
ing. Oh, I know it's dread sound too
we'll. Within nine months at the furthest
I. too, shall be called away. But why
care? Death must come some time. We
are all in the same boat, and-let me see
where was I? I will finish my story. Oh,
yes, have it."
The story was finished. The teller
seemed to throw into it all Of his old
time spirit. With an almost reckless
abandon be gave richness to the dia-
lect Of the anecdote and delicious en-
phasis to every telling word. His face,
too, was wreathsd in smiles as he reached
the end of his ludicrous tale. But not q
laugh was heard. Among all of his lis
teners there was not one with dry eye
not one who could for his life have
told what the story was about. What
was bit of comedy in the presence of q
tragedy in real Life like that?

Failure of the Rubber Supply.

Panama Star,
AS instancing the failure of an article
of export which formerly was of impor-
lance to the isthmus, we are told that the
rubber shipped hence, which few years
ago amounted to upwards of 10000
quintals per annum, does not at the
present reach 1900 quintals. This de-
creased export is due to the reckless
manner in which the trees were chopped
down, while none were planted to replace
them. The few trees still existing in the
state are in almost inaccessible districts,
aud to this fact they owe their existence.
We're it not SO the indefatigable rubber
hunter would have completely extirpated
this productive and valuable tree. 1t
seems so strange that up to the present
no efforts on a large scale have been
made to plant rubber. The tree is indi-
genous to the isthmus, and fourished
here unit, man commenced its destruc-
ton in an active and thorough going
manDer. The civilizations of these trees
has proved successful in countries to
which they are not indigenous, and there
is no reason why rubber plantations, par.
ticularly in the Darien, should not prove
successful AID fortune producing enter
prises should land owners and capitalists
devote themselves to this industry.
Every day new uses are being discovered
for the article, while in the same ratio
the old indigenous forest grovths are
becoming more circumscribed. Conse-
quently capital invested in rubber plant
ing promises productive returns to all
who engage in the business.
