W. Wonder Where His Character IL.
The boy who comes up to the office
once or twice week to empty our
waste basket. said to Us yesterday.
''See here, don't you know that that
little CHIEF man it just a stabbing at
you every week" We were COMPEL
ed to confess that it had entirely es-
capped our notice. Well" he contia-
ued, he is, and 1 think it is time We
did something about it." We handed
him a newly sharpened pencil and
told him that if he felt thai he had
been attacked to take that and defend
himself. He put the pencil down
carefully in his pocket and then ele-
waiting his chin remarked in a very
audible voice. Now see here mister
l am no fool killer and I didn't hire
out to do the dirty work for this con-
cern. l have a character, I have."-~
Big s.
No, We presume not, Docky would,
hardly give up his job of "dirty work't
to some small! boy, he's too fond Of it,
and besides if he should lose his char
acter, poor docky keeby would be in .
hard row of stumps. We imagine
that the ''boy" like his tutor needed
a large application Of putty in the re-
gion Of the crainium to build up . de-
funct mind. Then again. We don't
just exactly know how docky could
procure an extra lead pencil with an
$500 chattel mortgage on the outfit,
already unless he gave another
mortgage to pay for the pencil. Or

Imagine yourself on a ship at anchor
looking west or straight in front of
you. There is a broad expanse of sea
a little to your right hand, behind you
will be the rugged coast, and to your
left the long, narrow ford between
the islands and the mainland that the
steamer has just traversed. You watch
the sun as it slowly, slowly sets; the
islands and the coasts look like a rich
dark purple, and the shadows cast by
the ships mast, etc, grow longer and
longer. After a bit, when the sun has
sunk apparently twelve feet from the
horizon, it stops and seems to remain
stationary for about twenty minutes
then the very sea gulls hide away,
while the air all of a sudden strikes
chilly. Each one has an awed, ex-
pectant feeling; the tourist steamer
broods a silence that may be felt.
Soon the sun rises very slowly once
again, and the yellow clouds change
with his uprising to even greater
beauty, first TO the palest primrose
and then TO a blush pink. The sky,
which wa Just now rose color, be-
comes gray, then pale emerald green,
and lastly blue. Rock after rock
stands out, caught by the SUMS bright
rays, and the reign of day has begun

A young man with n gimlet two
feet long stopped in front of n tele-
graph pole in an uptown street the
other day and began TO bore into it.
Another young man, q reporter on
The Sun, stopped also and asked the
first what he was about. Il am going
to find out how long this stick will
stand up" he said, twisting the handle
rapidly. 81 am employed by the com
pany that owns the pole, and it is my
business to go about the streets making
inspections like this. Every pole is
numbered, and when 1 make my re-
port the company takes action accord
ing TO the condition of the wood.
This is the only way we can tell how
strong q pole is, for decay begins be-
meath the surface and works toward
the center. 1t shows on the outside
last. So you can't tell from the looks
whether n pole may not Gomez down in
the first high wind, or light one,
either, for that matter. This one,"
and he withdrew his gimlet and looked
at the fine shaving clinging to it,
will last at least n year without dan
ger. There is one on the Bowery, near
Fourth street, that looks perfectly
sound, much better than this one, in
fact, and yet it is decayed almost from
surface to surface, and is liable to fall
any day" The young man did not
know when the company would re
place the dangerous pole, and, after
making a memorandum in q book, he
proceeded up the street 10 probe the
next stick.-New York Sun.

People often wonder why policemen
are suddenly transferred from one
section of the city, where they may
have walked a beat for years, and know
every dark alley and hiding place
as well as every crook in hat p~articu-
lar locality, to apart of the city where
they have never been save as a citizen.
All hrst glance it does look like an in
judicious thing to do, but it is not.
Take q patrolman from the West End
or South End and put him down in
the heart of the city and he's pretty
certain to make a few good captures.
West End or South End crooks feel
secure when they get away from the
locality where they are well known,
and the first thing you know they will
run right into your arms with all the
evideHeesNef guilt upon them. There
is another advantage in these changes,
which l believe should be more ire
quent, and that is that the policemen
become familiar with all sections of
the city, and thus are rendered more
valuable in any emergency.-St Louis
Globe-Democrat.

the presence of a Mail reporter. Il
extended my run and went into Dakota
and Montana. Stopped in Bismarck
the other day, and it was awfully cold.
] was nearly frozen after hustling
around town, and stepped into the
Sheridan house barroom TO get n blood
tingler. A moment later "A man clad
in shiny black broadcloth strobe into
the place. His feet were encased in n
pair of immense cowhide boots, from
the leg Of one of which protruded a
razor, a butchers ~cleaver and a club,
and from the other the half of a scythe
blade and another club.
Strapped 10 his back was a Win
chester rifle; a belt contained a revolt
yer and a ten inch bowie. On his left
hand was a pair of steel knuckles, his
right wrist was encircled by the loop
of n flexible slung shot and he pointed
a 40 caliber revolver at the crowd.
Bob Boomer, you come hyerr he
ordered.
THE shrinking form of a seven foot
buu whackeradvanced from the crowd,
and the walking arsenal grasped him
by the neck and waltzed him out and
down the street.

marked to my right hand neighbor.

II would like to see some diamond
rings" said a foppish young man with
a dainty manner of speech, entering a
three ball emporium on Halsted street,
near Taylor.
You would, ehf" said Marx, the
proprietor, TO himself, as he travelled
along his counter toward the threaten
ing to be customer; but / bet me dot
Teller ish no good" and aloud, in the
most genial manner, "Anyding you
want, sir, you shall hat"
The young man quickly chose a ring
with a three carat single stone OF
prime light and requested that it be
kept apart for him, as he had no money
at that moment Marx cleared away
the rings, when the young man, sud
denly leaning over the counter, indi-
Gated a spot upon the shelf where the
chosen ring should be left until his
return. In the movement his elbow
went through the glass top Of the
showcase.
Upon my word" cried he, 'that
was a most awkward trick. / do not
know what TO say. You may add the
damage to the price of the ring"
Der glass cost only tree dollar"
said Marx with some i'll grace. why
don you pay it nowT'
why, sir, 1 am out Of funds" was
the distressful protest
you Will egscuse me if / correct
YOU blandly replied the broker, and
bending over the case he seized the
protruding end of a $40 bill and
plucked it from the young mans vest
pocket
The purchaser was covered with
confusion and averred that he knew
not that he had the money. He was
ready, however, to have the cost of the
glass deducted.
When Marx deposited that evening
the bank clerk returned to him q $50
bill on which he had deity imprinted
in large violet letters the c~ondemning
word, Counterfeit" Chicago Tn

THE pAeoDA AT aANoooN.
Throwing Gold and Silver Into Crucible'
to Make n Birds Wing.

Throwing Gold and Silver Into Cucibles
to Make n Birds Wing
A correspondent of an Indian paper
describes a ceremony which took place
at Rangoon. II seems hat in a re
cent earthquake the birds wing of
gold and precious stones crowning
the great Rangoon pagoda was thrown
down and injured.
The trustees of the building called
on the people for subscriptions for n
new one, and in three weeks n sum of
about so, 600 rupees was collected II
was notified that the melting of the
gold and silver would take place and
that il would be the last opportunity
of contributing. In one of the large
rooms of the pagoda two large cruel
bles were placed, one for gold, the
other for silver. Hundreds of men
and women, girls, boys and small chill
dren passed by, dropping their silver
or gold ornaments into the crucibles,
or handing their precious stones 10 the
clerk for the purpose of being set in
the birds wing. Women gayly
dressed and covered with jewels
passed by, and, taking a couple of
gold bangles from each arm, threw
them into the pot, or they took off
rings, and, handing the stones to the
clerk, added the gold to tho melting
mass. Those who had no gold put ru-
pee coins into the silver crucibles and
handed over others TO the clerk for
the use of the pagoda; V the beg
CARS came and added their mites
All parted with their treasure with
out n sigh, and, in fact, seemed glad
TO give ii for such a devout purpose.
All their good deeds are so many
rungs mounted ON the ladder towards
heaven The Shans went in a body of
twenty men and presented n diamond
weighing scventy-fve carats, which
is 10 be placed as the chief ornament
in the wing. The silver melted
amounted to 1850 rupees, that collect
ed TO 3, sos rupees; the gold melted to
Is, 500 rupees, and the precious stones
given were valued at %, 600 rupees.
The wing that fell down was vaiueda /
122, 500 rupees, and the one 10 replace
it will be worth175, 600 rupees.
The umbrella ornament mt the top
Of the same pagoda dhe Shaw-da-goan)
is said TO have cost King Mindine Min
six laos of rupees. II is of pure gold,
richly set with gems, and is actually
fifteen feet high, although mt its pres
ent elevation it does not seem two
feet. The pagoda itself is 1928 feet
high, and the hillock on which it
stands is about 100 feet. The pagoda
is surrounded by the barracks of the
British troops, and the magazines are
said to be in the hillocks ON which it
is built-St James Gazette.

Hitherto machines for telling trees
have been driven by steam power, but
this is sometimes inconvenient, espe-
cially in thick woods, and electric
power has been adopted in the Cali
clan forests. Usually in such ma
chimes the trunk is sawn, but in this
case it is drilled. When the wood is
of a soft nature the drill has a sweep
ing motion and cuts into the trunk by
means of cutting edges on its sides.
The drill is actuated by an electric
motor mounted on a carriage, which
is brought up close to the tree and
shackled to it. The motor is capable
of turning round its vertical axis, and
tho drill is geared to it in such a man
ner that it can turn through an arc of
a circle and make a sweeping cut into
the trunk. The first cut made, the
drill is advanced a few inches and an
other section of the wood removed in
tho same way until the trunk is half
severed. 1t is then clamped to keep
the cut from closing, and the opera
ton continued until it would be I'M
safe to go on. The remainder is fin
ished by a hand saw or an ak. The
current is conveyed to the motor by
insulated leads brought through the
forest from a generator placed in some
convenient site. London Times.

The women of Connemara are pic
turesque in attire and shapely in form
to q remarkable degree. Their limbs
are long and graceful. They are erect
and spirited in carriage, and tho inn
mense black braideens, or cloaks, with
which all shortcomings in clothing are
shrouded, fall in truly classic folds
about them. Bare limbed as the men,
at all seasons, you will not i~nfrequently
catch glimpses of legs rs exquisitely
nodded as those of the Venus of Cos;
while the most voluptuous types of
southern Europe, or dangerous, tropi-
cal Cuba, furnish no more perfect ex-
amples of tapering, dimpled arms,
beautifully formed shoulders, and full
but heightened neck with dove like
double curve. The broad. large faces
are still superbly oval. The chin has
strength, the full, shapely mouth is
red and tenderly, expressively curved;
the regular teeth are charming in pearl
white CLINT and dazzle; the nose is
large, well cut, with thin, sensitive
nostrils; the eyes, under long, heavy
lashes, look straight and honestly at
you out of clear, large depths of gray
or blue; the eyebrows are marvels of
natures penciling; the forehead is
wide and fair, and such heads Of hair
crown all that were they Embossed the
Connemara woman could stand clad in
lustrous black immeasurably surpass-
ing her sloe black braideen. Not n
thread is on them besides the Come
mara flannel. 1t is spun from the
wool of the mountain sheep.-Irish
