Just Missed a Fortune.

A well-known physician of st. Louis,
says a local paper, is one of the many
who had an opportunity to strike the
Granite Mountain bonanza. One day,
just after he had received q check for
l 1900 in payment for a debt, he met a
friend who asked him if he had any
money he wanted to invest. The ply
stefan replied hat he had a check for
81, 500 in his pocket which he was just
going to deposit in the bank and for
which he had no immediate need. His
friend told him not to put it in bank,
but to go straight to a brokers' Office
and purchase Granite Mountain stock
with it. Stock was then selling for 80
cents a share and the physicians friends
assured him he knew the property was
of great value and that in a very short
time stock would be away up. But the
medical gentleman gave him a knowing
wink and said ooh, no, you don't
catch me on that. I want no mining
stock in mine" In vain his friend tried
to persuade him to make the invest
ment. He would not be persuaded. He
could have purchased with his 81, 500
just 1866 shares of the stock, which
would now be worth about 800, 600 and
be bringing in 1888 q month.

The Largest Check Ever Drawn.

The Philadelphia Press says:-Speak
ing of large single checks the largest evel
given was by John D. Taylor, Treasurer
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. 1t wa:
drawn to the order of Lee, Livingston &
Co., for $14, 256, 1876, payable at the
National Bank of Commerce in New
York. 1t was in payment for the stock
of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad held in Boston, and
it required three weeks of circulation in
order that the transfer of funds repre-
sented by this single piece of paper
could be effected without disturbing the
course of business and trade in three of
the greatest cities in the country. Dur
ing the whole month previous to the
issue OF this check Mr.. Taylor, at Phila-
delphia, vas gathering in from bankers
and brokers there and throughout Penn
sylvania checks on New York bankers
for any balance hat might be due.
Meanwhile Lee, Livingston & Co., in
Boston, were collecting whatever drafts
they could gather up for money due by
New York houses to Boston, and thus
this enormous sum was slowly trans
ferred from Philadelphia to Boston
without causing any stringency in the
money market of either city.

BOycOtting a Ship.
Star of Russia !

Star of Russiai
The frequenters of the water front and
lower portion of the city cannot fail to
nave noticed the name of this British
ship, the Star of Russia, written on every
conspicuous place. On the board side
walks, on the bill boards, on the brick
walls of wholesale houses, ON the floors
of sailor boarding houses, and in fact in
every possible nook and Granny the
name written in chalk boldly confronts
the pedestrian. 1t is even scratched on
the side of the Custom House, and about
the British Consulate can be seen in q
dozen places.
Naturally, casual visitors to the water
front inquire what is the significance of
these scrawls. They mean that an ele-
ment in the seafaring classes is at work
to boycott the Star of Russia, and when
she is ready for sea to delay her as long
as possible searching for a crew. 1t is
done in revenge for the brutal treatment
of sailors on her outward bound voyage
from London. The men who came here
in her have long since gono to sea in
other vessels; but before signing they
warned the sailors on shore to avoid the
Star of Russia. These men, in turn,
have told others, and now the name of
the b~oycotted ship stares one in the face
at every turn. The vessel is taking on
ballast at present, but is not under
charter. 1t is believed that she may
seek to leave port in n short time, and
then, if the plan of the sailors is carried
out, she will have a lively time to get
her full complement OF men.
The story told by the Star of Russia's
men is still fresh. They accused Capt.
Legg, the commander, of having abused
them frightfully. The matter was never
investigated, as Daniel Swannack,
Superintendent of the Sailors Home,
cajoled the men into going to sea before
the time of the inquiry.-San Francisco

Flies on Them.

Carter Harrison's Egypt Letter in the
Chicago Mail says:-I watched o child of
about two and q half years enjoying a
crust Of bread. There were about it a
swarm of flies, and 1 do not exaggerate

whispering in its ears. l have seen

dozen flies would be p~romenading about
their faces, apparently unnoticed by the
owners of the faces. / asked q man how
he could stand il. "Mashallah | They
don't bother me-" was the reply. This

able to understand what a foreigner
means when he tries to drive him off.
He has, too, remarkably prehensile
claws, and keeps them keen and sharp
when taking constitutional walks over
European c~ountenances. 1t was proba

made these people pronounce it bad

best to educate the masses to bear the
infection and SO get used to it.

Texas Railroads..

Northern man who recently returned
from Texas tells some amusing stories
of railway service in the Lone Star State.
One road running out of Houston pos
sessed one locomotive and a single train
of cars. The train would go to Houston
one day, and would go to the other end
of the line the next day. The train
would run off the track occasionally, and
then the passengers would have to board
with the nearest planter for a few days
while the cars were lifted back on the
rails. The conductor considered it n
matter of only ordinary p%oliteness to
stop the train when a lady desired to
gather a few wild flowers along the way.
One day q lady requested him to stop
the train all night at a small station,
where she had some friends whom she
wanted to visit. The conductor told
her that the train would wait long
enough to let her go and dine with her
friends, but as it was already four hours
behind time she would have to take the
other passengers to dine with her in
order to keep them from making com
plant to the Superintendent of the road.
This proposition was rejected by the
lady, who rode on to Houston nursing
her wrath Chicago america.

Rabbits Caught the Diphtheria.

Two children of Mr.. j. Rogers of
Toronto were during the past winter
stricken with malignant diphtheria. One
succumbed to the dread disease, and the
other, after the most skilful and careful
treatment, recovered. Mr.. Rogers had
at the time on his premises n large mum
Der of English rabbits. When the dis
ease broke out in his household they
one by n got sick and died, according
to the Toronto Globe. The owner never
dreamed of the animals being affected by
the disease from which his children were
suffering, and he was in so much trouble
that he did not devote much time to in
vestlgate the cause of their death. But
when some of the last rabbits died Mr..
Rogers made an examination, and, on
opening their mouths, found their
Threats sore, the tongues thickly furred,
and the roofs covered with exactly the
same membrane as hat in the mouths
of the children who had suffered from
diphtheria. He mentioned the fact to
DR.. Tyrrill, who was attending the
children at the time, and the physician,
on looking into the case and examining
the rabbits, affirmed that they had died
of diphtheria.
