A QUARREL among the so-called
saints in Salt Lake reveals the fact
that before the laws OF congress con-
fscating the church property went
into effect there were many fictitious
sales made to presumably faithful
Mormons who were expected to hold
the property in the church's interest.
Instead OF doing this they chose, like
any unregenerate gentle, to hold it
for themselves. Now the church kicks
and demands an accounting.

During the recent stay of the Due dor
leans in India he visited Lord Dufferin at
Calcutta, and grand tiger hunt was organ
lied, which lasted six weeks and ranged over
100 miles of country. The duke shot eight
tigers One incident he relates as follows:
1.-TWO cubs of tigress had been shot, and
the mother hemmed in by q line of elephants
There was an idea that she was crouching in
small patch of jungle behind a tree on the
bank of small stream, but none of our ele-
plants could be got anywhere near it. After
some time my elephant. being pIuckier than
the others, was induced to move forward
and push the tree down. While thus
engaged the tigress sprang out from
beside it with roar and tremendous leap
right to the top of my howdah, smashing in
the front of il-breaking my gun with one
blow of her paw and exploding the right
barrel before had time to fire. This is the
broken in two pieces just below the barrels,
the trigger guards and metal plates wrenched
off ana twisted by the force of the blow, and
with one barrel discharged. the other still at
half-cock
sFol tunately for me, continued the prince,
ashe then tumbled backward, possibly
startled by the explosion, and made off for
the Jungle Ny elephant, mad with fright,
bolted in the opposite direction, and for q
considerable distance nothing would stop
her. When at length we got back to the
others we found the whole line of elephants
SO demoralized that we had to give up
the sport for the day and return to the camp
Next morning we cornered our game in
nearly the same spot, and I had the good
luck to bring her down Just as she was cross
ing the river.
sWhat became of the mahout when the
tigress leaped on the elephant!1 was asked.
@Oh, he managed to slip around in some
extraordinary way under the elephants
ears, and was unhurt, but lost his head

a correspondent of Our Dumb Ami
mails tells the following good stories
of railroad etiquette:
We have just read an amusing story
of a nervous little man entering a car
with n parcel, around which was a
rubber strap. He began swapping the
strap TO the great discomfort of all his
neighbors, regardless of the annoyance
they clearly manifested. Tho man in
the seat in front of him left tho car.
Then he turned over the back and put.
his feet on the scat and kept on snap
ping. Presently q big German on the
other side got up, walked over, poked
the little man in the ribs with his
finger and said: Mammals little baby
shall have a plaything. 1t shall have
a little rattle and n little doll" The
passengers cheered, and the snapper
got out of the a as quickly as he
could.
This story reminds us of what we
saw on the Boston and Albany rail
road some time since. Tho car was
full. Two dudes turned the back of n
seat and sat facing each other, occu-
plying four seats. Two young ladies'
came in. The dudes looked at each
other and laughed, intending to make
the ladies take seats beside them. The
ladies, mortified and blushing, stood
in the aisle. In moment q large, stern
looking man, weighing apparently 200
pounds or moro, who was seated u
little ways back on tho other side,
strobe across the car, seized the dude
fncing him by the collar, and sent him
like a rocket TO the side of his compan-
ion. Then turning tho back of the
front seat he bowed and said: Ladies,
there's a seat for you. Tho cheering
OF the passengers was something worth
going ten miles to hear, and the two
dudes were, for the rest of the trip, as
quiet q couple as one would wish to

A People of tho Cnncasns.

Each community is made up of sew
eral villages, originally consisting
each of members of tho same family
or gems, but now including several
families. Members of the same family
can not intermarry. Women and
pasturage rights have been occasions
of many feuds and vendettas. When a
woman changed hands, or husbands,
the parties concerned could not always
agree on the value in cattle-the Suan-
etians had no money-of the lady ex.
changed. Hence arose assaults of per-
sons and batteries of towers. The
affairs of the hamlet, so far as they
were not settled by appeals to arms,
were regulated by an assembly of
adult males, in which unanimity was
required for a valid decision. The
foreign relations of the Suanetians con-
sisted, for the most part, in predatory
excursions into their neighbors' past
ures. They were arrant sheep stealers
and cattle filters. Strangers met with
no hospitality. On the contrary, it
was the custom to exact a payment
from them for passage, and the custom
still survives in petty demands made
for hating in q remote village. The
Suanetians may fairly be described as
reverted pagans. Some Christian rites
fasting in Lent, and the use of the
sign of the cross-they have doubtless
preserved. But these survivals seem
to me no more to entitle them to the
name of Christians than our own mid
summer night fires constitute us sun
worshipers.-D. w. Freshfield in
Popular Science Monthly.

Sculpture must first be a common
place, n fashionable necessity in the
home life, before it can flourish greatly
and nationally in a commonwealth
like ours. The field of the sculptor as
the rival of the painter in the daily
affections of amateurs is practically
~unworked, scarcely suspected; yet the
signs of its presence are on all sides.
One straw is the removal of an old
prejudice against plaster casts, used in
lieu of costlier materials. AS to what
is now called sculpture-backed as it
Is by no large mass of trained, cult
waited fosterers-the silent nation of
marble and bronze statues which men
think of when sculpture is mentioned
becomes already oppressive. Our
parks will soon offer the cluttered
chaos of the cemetery and become q
derision. But will not then q wider
taste, wearying of easel pictures and
pictures OF the wall, carved woods and
bric-a-brac, turn to statuary for agree
able, companionable forms of art, at
once calmer in temperament and more
i~ndestructible than the fashionable
decorations of our honest 1t is only
by beginning at tho firesidc that we
can cultivate the public taste to the
level of Athens and Florence, and
have the knowledge 70 bid our sculp-
tors grapple with those grandest forms
of art that for their backgrounds de-
mand a sea, q landscape, or a steeplcd

AmphlbIan of the Coal Period.

Professor Bickmore, in n lecture on
1.-THE Period of Reptiles and Mann
mails, in tho Museum of Natural His
tory, New York city, presented on a
screen illustrations of the footprints
n of the amphibians of the coal
period. Tho illustration was a draw
ing from the great slab of bluestone
which belongs to the museum, and
was taken from the stone quarry at
Turner's Falls, Mass. The animal
itself, Mr.. Bickmoro explained, was
one of those which roamed in great
numbers along the Connecticut valley
during the carbonifcrous period. This
one had left its footprints in the mud,
and the impression having been sub
sequontly filled with sand, the cast
was preserved when the clay became
hardened into stone.
From fossils of the animal, which
have been obtained in other portions
of the valley, it appears to have had
an elongated body, about fourteen feet
long, on four legs. 1t moved mainly
on tho hind feet, the fore legs being
shorter, and lived partly in the water
and partly on the banks of the stream.

Notwithstanding the widespread i'm
preston that tho additions to the rail
way system of the United States dur
ing 1888 would BIO comparatively in
significant, the evidence is now before
us that the railway mileage of the
country was increased during the year
by no less than 7,120 miles of main
track. While this is much less than
the phenomenal increase in the year
1887, 1856, 1882 and 1881, when the
new mileage was respectively 10, 600,
5000, II, $50 and 0,796 miles, the
record for the past year exceeds that of
every other year in history, with the
exception of the year 1871, when 1879
miles were added.
New track was laid in all but two of
the thirty-seven states and territories,
the exceptions being for Nevada. Kan
sas still leads the list in tho extent of
new mileage, and she has done so for
several of the years. California comes
next. Tho most striking characteristic
of the years work is the large number
of separate lines of which it is com
posed and the correspondingly small
average-less than twenty mi1es-for
each line. Only about twelve built
moro than 100 miles each; those doing
the largest amount of work being the
Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska, 412
miles; st. Paul, Minneapolis and Mani
toba, 374 miles, and Southern Pacific,
through various subsidiary companies,
q little over 800 miles. These facts are
important as showing how the nature
of the work of railway construction
changed in a single year. Tho build
ing of great competitive lines practi-
cally ceasedfor the immediate present,
and the years work was chiefly de
voted to the construction of short in
dependent lines or branches.-Railway

you North Americans don't know
anything about the gambling feature
of horse racing" said an adopted son
of South America at tho Fifth Avenue
hotel. You kick up a terrible rum
pus when one of your plungers makes
a bet of $40, 900 on n race. Down in
tho Argentine Republic they would
laugh at that sor of plunging. Those
fellows make no bones OF putting up
500, 900 at a whack when they think
they've got a good thing. They arc
the most daring gamblers in tho world.
A year ago one of them sent to Eng
land and paid 5000 guineas for a horse
that he wanted to win just one race
with. Tho animal arrived in good
shape and walked away with the field
at 3 to 1, making the owner half q mil
lion richer than he was before. A
great many horses will be shipped there
by and by from the United States. Tho
business has begun already on q small
scale. New York Tribune.

MS a God story. Anrhow.

a well known New Yorker has had
an adventure which discounts by TO-
900 the average conventional parrot
story. He was fond of knocking about
in out of the way quarters of the
world, and left ship on tho Central
American coast with a party of COM
rades to explore tho wilderness. Dur
ing q cruise of several months the n
tire ships company-a merry rev
had devoted their odd hours in sing
ing to a parrot. The sailors had lost
no opportunities, and taught the bird
all the seafaring lingo, and a few more
or less elegant expletives besides.
When the exploring party had hidden
the bird and the sailors good-by they
plunged into the heart of the tropical
forest After twenty-eight miles of
mortal effort they reached their camp
ing place for the night. Just as the
sun was going down they were startled
to hear in the primeval silence q
familiar voice calling down from the
top of a tall palm, "Avast therel 70,
heave hol'
1t was the ships parrot. But before
they could recover tbsfr startled senses
the faithful bird, haSing flown ahead
TO prepare this unexpected treat for
It's CIluilS Oh inc NOyage, 0uttefed
down TO the top of q dead stump near
by and, with a shrill call, summoned
thousands of the little green paroquets
of the country. 1t is said that II, 900
of them were counted as they circled
around the great gray African oracle
on tho stump, and finally took their
places on the ground row after row..
The explorers looked on in dumb
amusement. When the feathered as
semblage became quiet tho ships par
rot burst into the words of q familiar
song and, TO the inextinguishable
laughter of the travellers, the conster-
nation of the rest of the tropical world,
and the delight of the festive precen-
tor, the whole of the II, 900 paroquets,
with one mighty burst of song, broke
into Nancy Lee."-Ballou's Maya

The French author, Martainvillc,
who began his caree toward the close
of the last century, is said to have
owed the preservation of his life to n
witty piece of audacity. He was n
Royalist, and did not hesitate TO attack
the French revolution and its authori-
ties. Presently, of course, he was
summoned to appear before tho revo-
lutionary tribunal, with the terrible
Fouquier at its head.
The revolutionary tribunals at that
time did not hesitate to send every
body TO the guillotino who had ven
tured to attack them. Martainville
expected TO go with the rest of the
victims.
What is your nameg" asked the
revolutionary judge.
"Martainville," said the young
author.
"Martainviller p exclaimed the Judge.
You arc d~eceiving us, and trying to
hide your rank. You are an aristo-
GRAFT, and your name is De Martain-
Vile"

young mani, Il am here TO be short

above all things, and the tribunal was
SO much pleased by M%artainville's
grim response that it spared his life
