only a Newsboy,s Trick.

A Pittsburg Dispatch reporter was stand
ing In one Of the shooting galleries yester-
day when snap went whip, as the pro-
prietor, drawing out a big buggy whip from
under the counter, made lunge for half a
dozen newsboys who were slyly holding q
confab around the stove.
AS they scooted out the door like rats in
hole, the proprietor snid:
"Those poor little cusses give me more
bother than can tell you, but they're
smarter than whip. just walt moment
and see what they'll do"
AS he spoke little shaver peeked out
from behind the stove and whispered:
.'Shine, misterr'
In another moment In MARCHED seven,
each with cent In his hand, and demanded
cigarette, aud resumed their pow-wow by
the stove, putting away with might and
main The proprietor made another lunge,
when one little chap stepped out, and,
striking theatrical attitude, said to those
in the gallery:
"Gentlemen, see here; s this right; is this
the way to, treat customers what spends
their money In his store fer him and his
family TO live onY'
The proprietor smiled and put up his
whip under such argument, and the newsies
warmed to their hearts content until their
cigarettes had gone out aud they were Gus
toners no more. and then marched out
with triumphant air.

Wanted Locks of His Hair.

A venerable, white-haired clergymsn in
one of the city churches recently preached
in Norristown. He had hardly got home
from the church wien the door-bell rang
and charming girl Of eighteen asked to
see him. He received her. They talked
about the sermon and other things until she
asked dfTidently: "Oh, won't you please
give me a lock OF your hairsn "Certainly,
my child, "said the old gentleman, battered
at the request, "I'll send 1t to you to-mor-
row." And he did. On his return to the
city be had five more requests of the same
kind, and he proudly bossted to his wife
that he was glad to see that he had not yet
lost his power to please. He declared his
trip had been most charming, and all went
well until his wife received this note:
"MY DEAR Mrs. X: Won't you please
osk your good husband to send me just a
little lock Of his hairp We have all been
taking lessons IN making hair flowers. so
many Of the other girls asked him aud he
sentit to them, but thought would rather
ask you to get 1t for me- Now, won't you
please do this for me9 1t is so hard to get
white hair for lilies of the valley"
This was terrible blow, and the less now
said about locks of hair In the good old
gentleman's presence the .better.-[ Phila-

A Mountain of Iron Ore in India.


DIR. Melting Of the Geological survey Of
India IN recent report on magnetic rock
among the Shan Hills of Upper Burmah,
describes a mountain or hill at Slngaung
which consists of q huge mass Of iron ore.
Having, he said, noticed on the way numer-
GUS pieces OF iron ore which became still
moro frequent on the southern side of the
hill, he examined the latter In several dl-
rections. He found the surface everywhere
covered with large blocks of iron ore origi-
mating evidently from superficial dscompo-
sition OF lower beds. lie concluded that
The whole hill consisted OF large mass Of
iron ore He was unable to ascertain the
geological conditions under which this ore
occurs, or its exact limits and extension, on
account of the dense jungle and tremendous
attraction, rendering his compass useless
He estimates, however, that the hill covers
al least an area OF about O square mile, and
that 1t rises about 200 feet above the level
Of the Twiunge Valley. The ore is hema-
tile peroxide of iron.

ROYAL HYPOCRISY.

II may be unchartable TO analyzo
tears and to criticse sorrow, but in
contemplating the combination now
presented in and about the Austrian
court it is impossible to do otherwise.
The court is fairly swimming in tears
over the sudden death OF Prince Ru.
dolf. and the Emperor, his father, in
all public places, parnies his grief aud
thanks his dear people that they are
enjoying the bitterness of common
sorrow with him. And everybody
knows the kind of representative cit
izen Prince Rudolf was; what faith
ful, loving husband he was; what u
pride to his family; what a nice man
To trust in other mems families, and
what miserablv disgraceful manner
of death he met. The Emperor weeps
and weeps, aud between wceps he
sobs:
cannot describe how much owe In these
days of bitterness to my dearly beloved wife,
and what great support she has proved to
me. How can be sufficiently grateful that
such helpmate was given me' Tell this to
everybody. The more you spread 1t the more
will thank you.
Right here we weep for Franz Josef
mot with him. We weep for the
hypocrisy of the man, and we conjure
the people of Austria ''to carry the
news" that Josef and Elisabeth
are loving husband and wife. Every
body knows they have sustained the
relation only in name for years, and
the continued residence apart of the
royal couple is notorious at home and
abroad. Evidence is not lacking that
the dead Prince, If he had been other
than he was, would not have been n
true chip of the old block, and 1t is to
the credit of the Empress that no such
charge was ever made against the
Crown Princes mother. We arc not
setting ourselves up as royal monitors
OF imperial reformers. and 1t is mat
ter Of entire Indifference to us whether
the Hapsburgs have any morals or do
not have any, but we do have the
r right TO draw the line when, under the
present disgraceful circumstances, the
world is asked to weep with the
mourners, or, at least, to bow in re.
spectful silence. Austria, from the
throne down, had better hustle Ru-
dolf under the ground as quickly as
possible, and try to hide the shame he
has put upon decenoy the world over.
