TolstOi's Bleak Study,

The great Russian novelist, Tolstoi,
writes in study as bare, bleak, cold and
unadorned as are the steppes of his native
cline. There is neither carpet on the
floor nor draperies in the window, nor
flowers, nor paintings, nor bric-a-brac.
There is scarcely even any furniture
an old lounge. pushed against one wall,
an immense table in hopeless litter of
papers, periodicals, manuscripts and
books of reference, near it chair, and
in an opposite corner a second table, also
covered with pamphlets, but these as
sorted and arranged in piles. The room
is divided into two compartments by an
unpainted wooden partition which runs
half way up to the ceiling and from
which depend two wooden rakes-used
by Tolstoi in his garden, and in the cor
ner stands wooden spade-above it,
hanging from some wooden pegs, Toll
stoi's great, capped overcoat. Evidently
the famous writer plunges so deeply into
the subject Of his writings as to be OBJ
livious of his surroundings. Pittsburg

Wolverines Are Ugly Customers

Few Washington people know what q
wolverine is. They know that Michigan
is called the Wolverine state and that
Michigan people are called Wolverines.
But they have little or no idea why the
state was so named or what the nick
name means.
The state is named after an animal
that used to infest, and still frequents,
the dense woods in the northern part of
the state, as well as in the woods of
northern Wisconsin and Canada. Fhis
animal is the wolverine, or, as the varie-
ties of him found in northern European
countries are called, the glutton. They
are savage beasts, these wolverines are,
and they play sad havoc with the cattle
of the Michigan farmers. They are like
a cross between wolf and bear. The
tail and the temper resemble those of a
wolf, but in strength and size and saw
ageness they much resemble bear.
They are less clumsy than bears, though,
and they can climb trees. Many hunter
has walked under tree up in Michigan
without looking for wolverine in the
tree first, and the wolverine dropped
down on him from one of the lower
limbs, and before the next morning had
eaten him up, buckskin breeches and all,
even to the heels Of his hunting boots.
They are ugly looking beasts, the only
pretty thing about them being thei1
bushy tail, a foot or SO long. Their claws
are longer and sharper than bears, and
their teeth just as sharp.
Altogether the animal is very un-
pleasant sort of one to see outside of a
cage. They are so savage and SO wary
and suspicious that it is almost impos.
sible to catch them alive, and so they
don't have them in circuses and zoologi-
cal gardens, and most people don't know
what they are. They are so savage that
hunters don't care to hunt them, and SC
the wolverine has things about his own
way where he ives.-Washington Critic.

Henry Irving's Supper.

4 desire to sec more closely the man
who has given us such pleasure is natural
and excusable. So much may be urged
in excuse for the numbers that often be-
siege the stage door Of the Lyceum, their
object being o nearer sight and perhaps
word from the hero or heroine of the
evening.
"Oh, Miss Terry, it is SO kind of you to
speak to us! We do admire you so! We
have been waiting so longi When do
you think that Mr.. Irving is likely to
leave the theatrer
"That is more than can say. I don't
think he has begun his supper yet"
"Oh, do tell us what he has for sup
perl" said shrill voice.
"Well," said naughty Miss Terry, very
gravely, "let me see. To.night-well,

London Without End.

London never fails to impress the tour
ist with its peculiar place among the
cities of the world There are many pre-
senting far finer groups of buildings; its
main thoroughfares, such as Regent
street and Oxford street. are not 10 be
compared with those in Paris or Phila-
delphia; but there is asolidity in its pave
ment, asteady progress in its vehicles, q
sense of continuity in the endless success
sion of its streets, an air of unpretending
confidence in its crowds, an unabashed,
monotonous ugliness in its lines Of subur-
ban villas which is unique. London is
the place where incidents and gatherings
which would move many a metropolis
"to its center" are wholly unnoticed ex-
cept by such as happen to come across
them. Even the most popular events,
which may attract some hundred thou
sand people, do not make sign or ripple
in the surface of the great brick and
mortar sea which surrounds the city
proper.
He must be a very big man, indeed,
who can draw direct personal notice in
London. Metropolitan news is conveyed
not by conversation or verbal rumor, but
by journals. The ''talk Of the clubs"
(exalted by some society" papers) is an
infnitesimally small fraction of that
which engages the metropolis. There is
really no ''talk of the town" as distinct
from that of the nation. It is sheer size
which distinguishes London. Not long
ago stood by the castle in Edinburgh
and noticed that could discern men at
work in the fields all around me. There
were indications of separate outside life.
1t is so, moreover, in the large transat-
lantic cities. Down the straight streets
of New York you can catch glimpses of
white sails on the Hudson or East river,
but when you look at London from any
square or open space within its borders,
there appears no proof that it has any
borders at all, or that it ends anywhere.
It might cover the whole earth for all
you can see.-The Cornhill Magazine.

Co.. Divides His Effects.

"Big Mouth" Charley, the gay and
festive Indian who playfully sent D.
Pete to the happy hunting grounds at
Red Bluff, for which commendable ac-
ton he will enjoy the hospitality Of the
state for seven years and four months,
distributed his personal effects as follows:
To Jim Turner, his brother, he gave his
oldest wife, Lizzie, also his real estate
and horses; the land is 160 acre timber
claim. To "Coyote Pete," friend, he
gave his youngest wife, Susie. To "Deer
Tom," another brother, he gave Mollie
Turner, his dead brother Ike's wife. His
thirty head Of dogs, five Winchester
rifles, 500 rounds of cartridges, two re-
volvers and four knives. he gives to Jim
Turner; consideration, love and affection
for Lizzie. He had deep set grudge
against coyote Pete," which is the
reason for placing Susie under his pro-
lection. She is a tolerably tough piece

housekeeping q Trade.

The idea of this school seems to be to
train such girls as must earn their living
by housework, SO that they may obtain
good situations and their employers re-
ceive in return good work. This is well
so far as it goes, but no housewife can
tell when work is properly done unless
she herself knows how it ought to be
done; and she cannot know this unless
she has been trained to do it. No trade
or profession in the land requires more
skill, good judgment and sound common
sense than does housekeeping; and yet a
man must learn his trade or profession
before he is considered fit to practice it,
q woman is put to housekeeping without
any real knowledge as to its require
ments or skill in doing it. This is all
wrong. Put all girls through thorough
course of training in every department
of housekeeping, whether they are to be
mistresses OR servants, and the question
about housekeeping will be solved.-New
York Star.

An EnectuaI Extinguisher.

The Listener has a venerable friend
who is very deaf, being able to hear con-
versation only through long flexible
tube with a trumpet at its extremity.
This old gentleman knows how to use
his silence compelling veto in a most
graceful way sometimes. Not long ago,
he did a young man favor which was
of immense value. The youth, over
whelmed with gratitude, visited his ben
efactor and seized the ear trumpet with
emotion.
"Oh, Mr.. -" he exclaimed, II can
never
The old man removed the other end Of
the tube from his ear. The youth found
himself talking to thin air. He went
off into a ridiculous pantomime of en-
treaty, all the while brandishing the un-
connected ear trumpet. The old man
smiled.
"There are times" he said, ''when il
is very convenient to be deaf"
The young man was obliged to &c
away without having communicated tc
his benefactor a single word of thanks,

A Kangaroo Drive.

Kangaroos are great scourge to
the farmers in some parts of Austria
liza. They destroy the grass and lit
orally starve the sheep off the plains.
This forces the farmers to devise
means for killing them off, and
"drive" is the one generally employed.
A yard with high fence is built on
the plain, and two fences run from it
for a long distance, coming together
like the letter Wand all the men, boys
and blacks in the neighborhood are
mounted on horseback and scour
the country for miles around. They
drive the kangaroos into the jaws OF
the V, and thence into the yard,
where the blacks enter with clubs
and begin the work of slaughter.
Mr.. Knox describes little "drive"
his party had on their own ac-
count: There were ten or twelve
kangaroos feeding quietly, and we
were within a few hundred yards of
them before they were aware of it.
At the first alarm they rose on their
hind legs and took a look all around,
and q second later they were away.
How they did jump! They seemed
to go thirty or forty feet at a time,
but our host said it was little more
than fifteen feet. We let loose the
dogs, which up to this time had been
kept behind us, and they went away
without any urging. The dogs are
kept for this purpose, just as fox
hounds are kept in England and
France, or deer hounds in Scotland.
The dogs soon overlook AMI pulled
down a young kangaroo, and then
they were put on trail of an sold
man" kangaroo, as a full grown
male is called.
The cold man" led the dogs a lively
chase. He made directly for water,
several miles away, which is their
custom. If he cannot reach water
he takes his stand against a tree,
and in that position he is danger
GUS creatureto approach. We fol
lowed the dogs as closely as we could,
but did not come up to them until
the kangaroo was at bay in a pool
where the water just left his fore
legs clear as he stood upright. The
dogs swan around him or stood on
the shore of the pool when he came
up. The pool was a small one and
the creature realized that it was his
safest retreat, and he was evidently
determined to die game. A shot
from a rife in the hands ofone of the
men finished him.-Philadelphia
Times.
