A Bucking Bronco.

A serious runaway occurred yesterday
afternoon on the river front. A two
horse buggy occupied by two gentlemen
was being driven across the Buena Vista
street bridge, and on nearing this side
the horse got restive and began to buck.
He finally upset the vehicle, seriously
injuring the travellers, one of whom had
his head badly hurt and also sustained
severe wound in the leg. The horse
broke free from his moorings and went
off at full speed along San Fernando
street, where he was finally captured:

ing among the willows back of Date

Burked by members of their own race,

of protecting themselves from the spread
of the disease. 1t is also said that these
two lepers have been wandering about

Tobacco Chewing Abroad.

It is common belief that tobacco chewing is an essential American vice. An acquaint- ance of mine who is in the business has un- dertaken to disabuse me of that belief with facts and figures. Enormous quantities of chewing tobacco are, he tells me, consumed in England, Holland and Germany. The tobacco is in plug shape, and generally al most pure leaf, without fiavoring. Attempts have been made to popularize fine cut chew ing tobacco abroad, but without success. The same plugs from which the smoker cuts his pipeload of tobacco serve him also for an oc- casional quid. Nothing like the variety of chewing end smoking t"baccos we know in this country is in existence in the old coun- try. European tobacco is also much dearer and inferior ill quality to our own. Only in Spain, which has the benefit of Cuban to- bacco, can you find anything like the high average of the weed familiar with us. In Germany and France cigars are abominable, and the quality of smoking tobacco very low People, says my informant, of luxurious tastes smoke tobacco in Europe that only the poorest laborers here would use. As for cigars, decent smoke cannot be bought un- der shilling in England, franc in France or mark ill Germany.-Alfred Tumble in New York News.

Cape Town Merchant and Kaffir.

The merchants here depend on importation to supply them with their stocks, and as rule pay, cash for them, or credit of sixty days at the furthest; but when they sell their goods it is quite another thing, for when tue Boers come to town to buy goods they ex- pect years credit, for they have no money to pay for anything until they have sold their crops of wheat or wool This system is the curse of the colony and prevents the develop ment of the farming country. This trouble does not exist between the merchant and Kaftir. When MT. Kaffir comes to town he has to pay cash, spot cash, and yet some of them are richer than many of the Boers; but he is not to be trusted; he has too many wives to feed and clothe and children run ming about to put him up to tricks When the day comes to go to town to lay in a sup ply he puts on such clothing as some white man has given him, and away he goes with one of his many wives trotting behind him to carry the goods home.
 once saw a Kal1ir on the street with noth- ing on him at all save plug hat, linen col lar and a swallow tail coat. Not stitch of any other clothing was to be seen. Another time saw Kaffir astride of dilapidated quadruped, bare headed, an old coat on, the remnants of an umbrella over him and his big toes hooked in the stirrups of an old sad dle. His wife was running behind, kettle and bundle on her head and an infant strapped to her back. They were going shopping and they paid cash for their pur- chases.-Cape Town Cor.

Promoting Painless Dying.

It is probable that, notwithstanding ap- pearances, the majority of deaths are pain less; but some do suffer grievously in dying and expire in great bodily torture. In such cases too often the physician retires when ali hope of preserving life is gone and leaves the patient unaided to the struggles of dissolu- tion. William Munk, M. D., E. s. A., etc, ill q thoughtful and eminently pr ctical lttlc volume, "Euthanasia, or Medical Treatment in Aid of an Easy Death" seeks to remedy this neglect and, tempered with the tone of a Christian philosopher, lays down the pre- cepts which should govern the doctor in the management of the dying. The London Lancet unreservedly comments Dr. Munk's views on the value of opium in many cases and urges its employment with the great end ih vlew of securing its full effects. 'It is simply neglect of duty and fault in our conduct of the last days or hours of many patients, to withhold the inestimable boon afforded by opium in full doses We have no right to stand aside and withhold our skilled labor in this direction, and we rather suspect such promotion of euthanasia is not uncommonly neglected, or but imperfectly
 carried out in many cases."-Chicago News.

Vagabond Gyps es in Hungary.

No mendicancy is met with to speak of un- til one gets as far east as Hungary; unless, of course, one strikes off down into Spain and Italy. In these lands of the lazzaroni, beggary f1ourishes with the same exuberarce that it does in the Orient The chief Elendi- cants in Hungary arc the gangs of vagabond gypsies one sees camped by the side of the roads. As you ride along you see ahead of you ill the road troop of swarthy urchins, the largest clad in picturesque rags and the smaller ones in puris naturalis only. They are dark skinned, almost, as natives of India. and their gleaming white teeth and the whites of their eyes are conspicuous while you are yet 100 yards distant. As you draw nearer, the whole group commences to shout, "kruetzerl kruetzer!" and to extend their eager palms in your direction. You toss them a coin as you ride past. One instantly picks it up and rushes off with it to the little. smoke begrimed apology for tent just off the road, where the elder Ronanies are watching the scene with keen interest.
 In tossing this coin to the group of twenty, you have only gotten rid of one: and !n doing this you have stimulated the cupidty of the remaining nineteen, to all extent that causes their eyes to glisten with eager avarice. After you they come, the whole nineteen, pell mell, with outstretched hands and tattered caps aloft, cllling after you in eager and pathetic cadenza ''kruetzer! kruetzer!" Swiftly too, they run, these youthful Romanies. and for hundreds of yards they keep up the chase, some on one side of you and some on the other.-Tho:nas Stevens.

A RESTAURANT KEEPERS PLAN.

 Bad Customers-Legal Doubts.
 The owner of an uptown restaurant has had SO many bad debts lately that he has built turnstile at his door, and no customer can escape till he has paid the amount of his check. It is claimed that this detention is utterly illegal, and that citizen who found himself on the wrong side of the gate with out the money to pay for his release could be got out promptly on writ of habeas corpus, and that afterward he could sue for heavy damages for illegal detention, with fair chance of getting a handsome verdict. The restaurant keeper has been advised of all this, but he says he is going to take his chances and collect all his bills until some one interferes with him.
 heavily built gentleman with fierce eve, who looked like pensioned off prize fighter, got caught in the machine the other evening. His tenderloin steak, with grilled mullins, cost him just fifteen cents more than he had. He sailed gayly up to the turnstile and asked the man who worked the appa- ratus to charge the fifteen cents to his ac- count
 "Nixy," said the money taker. "We've got you here, and we shall keep you till you pay"
 The tenderloin steak and the grilled muf- fins had infused fresh blood and courage into the prize fighter. He made dash at the turnstile, but there was catch like brake that the jailer worked with his foot This stopped it from opening. The jailer sneered. The moneyless customer grew madder and madder. He picked up chair, and, striking heroic attitude, smashed the turnstile to smithereens and strode over the smithereens to the door. There he was halted by po- liceman. The proprietor of the restaurant trap demanded his arrest but tho customer explained that he had been illegally de tained, and under q ruling of the supreme court was entitled to use all the means at his command to effect his escape. If he owed money for his food it must be collected by civil process, because his payment on account showed that he had not intended to defraud The defaulting customer was allowed to go after he had left his name and address. The sheer that had lurked on the jailers face was transferred to that of the customer. The trap restaurant keeper went inside to wonder how long it would be before tho remaining turnstile was demolished by some other an- gry diner.-New York Press.
