A Treaeherous FeIipe.

Among the patrons Of an uptown restau,
rant is one who has lost all faith in cats. II
was pitiably cold evening. and forlorn
puSS sat on the outside of the window ledge,
looking pathetically into the warm room.
Now and then she expressed her sorrow in

window and let her in One of them. whose
table a5utted the ledge where puss sat, finally
yielded TO her entreaties and raised the sash.
With gratified, but not grateful, pur-r-r-r

roast chicken that the waiter had lust served.
End, turning, jumped out of the window onto

Austrian Army Nations.

Titles of nobility are likely to become cheap
in Austria before long. A new army minute
provides that every officer Of irreproachable
conduct who has worn the imperial uniform
for thirty years uninterruptedly, and has
gone through at least one campaign, will,
upon demand, be ennobled by the kaiser and
the fees usually payable upon ennoblement
will be RENTED. Another regulation estab-
lished by the same minute deals with very
different matter-the easy recognition OF of
ficers and men who fall in battle. In future,
whenever the Austro-Hungarian army is
modified, each combatant is to have de-
livered to him small strip of parchment in
scribed with his name, rank and regiment;
and this ticket Of identity is to be kept in a
pocket which will be purposely made in every
pair of b-eeches After battle the tickets
would be taken from the bodies Of the dead
and forwarded to headquarters. Some such
system has long been in operation in the Ger
man army.-St. James Gazette.

Dealing in Tax Titles.

"I deal in nothing but tax titles" said a
gentleman recently to reporter. The
business has reached such a magnitude that
it requires all my time Candidly, il were
out of it would choose some other calling.
There isn't the money in it that people imag-
Inc. Yet it is a perfectly honorable business,
and in the whole range of my experience
there is nothing have to be ashamed of. l
buy up tax titles at every sale, and depend
for my profits upon the settlements made
with parties directly interested. frequently
let people of moderate means down without
any expense to speak of, and l must say that
the men of the most means are the toughest
customers l have to deal with. On certain
property owned by one of the wealthieSt
firms in the city, hold tax title of twenty
two years standing. They know it's cloud
on their land, but can get nothing out of
them. They simply say that the matter isn't
worrying them SO long as they don't want to
sell, and then they stop. Most dealers prefer
titles on land outside the city. Give me city
titles Settlements are prompter, come easier
and pay better.
There's one thing the average business
man does not understand. This is the I'M
certainty attaching to what even experts may
pronounce peI1ece IloAS. ooiiio oid oeeu,
transfer or bequest, some matter of unpaid
taxes or lost heir COMES up after years OF
quiet possession and either money must be
paid or possession forfeited. Look at that
big file case full of papers there. Every
document is a menace to property now owned
in the city or county and liable at any time
to pass into new hands. A very rich citizen
called on me yesterday and agreed TO pay
me handsome fee for simply Strengthening
out the tax records so that he might know
exactly how he stood and how much he
would have to pay in order that his land
might be free from future trouble because
of such claims against it. These taxes are
calculated to make trouble and the only safe
way is to see that they're fully paid before
you buy land and then settle regularly your

Advantages of Industrial Education

The great discovery Of our age is industrial
education. Its advantages prove large in all
ways 1t gives every child chance 10 find
out what it is fitted to do best. 1t enables
every child to grow up able TO earn living
1t relieves the professions Of those utterly
unfit by nature for professional life. II de-
stroys the unworthy prejudice against man
ual labor. 1t brings all grades Of society
nearer together. II develops a hand cunning
or handicraft that relieves the brain from
over use and exhaustion II enables brain
workers 10 secure easy reaction from brain
toll It encourages industry and saves many
from falling into crime. Industry underlies
moral behavior. Education of the brain can
never be perfect affair without hand skill

RorHscHILD's TERRIBLE REVENGE.
How Retribution Once Overlook the BanA
Of Eneland-No LAUGHING Matter.

How Retribution Once Overlook the Bank
of England-No Laughing Matter.
An amusing adventure is related az having
happened to the Bank Of England, which had
committed the objectionable sin of refusing
to discount large bill drawn by Anselm
Rothschild, of Frankfort, on Nathan Roths-
child. of London The bank had haught1ly
replied that they discounted only their own
bills, not those of private persons; but they
had to do with one stronger than the bank
s'Private personsn exclaimed Nathan when
the fact was reported to him. II will make
these gentlemen see. what kind of private
persons we are"
Three weeks later Nathan Rothschild-who
had employed the interval in gathering all
the IS notes he could procure in England and
on the continent-presented himself at the
bank. He drew from his pocketbook 70
note, and they naturally counted out five
sovereigns, at the same time looking quite
astonished that the Baron Rothschild should
have personally troubled himself for such
trihe The baron examined one by one the
coins, and put them in little canvas bag :;
then drawing out another note-a thlrd-a
tenth-a hundredth-he never put the pieces
of gold into the bag without scrupulously ex-
aiming them, and in some instances trying
them in the balance, as the law gave him the
right to do.
The first pocketbook being emptied and the
first bag full, he passed them to his clerk and
received a second, and thus continued till the
bank closed The baron had employed seven
hours to change Ell 900, but as he had also
nine employees of his house engaged in the
same manner, it resulted that the house OF
Rothschild had drawn f210, 900 in gold from
the Bank of England, and that he had so oc-
cupied the tellers that no other person could
change single note.
Everything which bears the stamp OF eccen-
tricity has always pleased the English. They
were, therefore, the first day very much
amused at the little pique of Baron Roths-
child They laughed less when they saw him
return the next day, at the opening OF the
bank, fianked by his nine clerks, and followed
this time by drays to carry away the specie.
They laughed not at all when the king OF
bankers said with ironic simplicity:
siThese gentlemen have refused to pay my
bills have sworn not to keep theirs. AT
their leisure-only notify them that l have
enough to employ them for two months
"For two monthsw
'Eleven millions in gold drawn from the
Bank of England which they have never
possessed"
The bank took alarm. There was some
thing to be done. Next morning notice ap-
peared in the journals that henceforth the
bank would pay Rothschilds bills the same as
their own.-Detroit Free Press
