Bluffed on a Sure Thing.

There were two of the men of u
gang of Pennsylvania oil well dr1llers
and blasters who were constantly fool
ing with the nitro-glyeerine. They
would take chances to make your hair
stand on end, and the trouble was they
imperilled the safety of many others.
One of their ~favorite pastimes was to
get out after MONDAY lunch and toss a
two-pound can of the stuff as far as they
could heave it. l more than once saw
them stand fifty feet apart, and ON three
or four occasions saw the a miss their
clutch and fall to the earth. Our fore
men and all the other men did a great
deal of swearing over this foolishness,
and once the men were discharged for
it, but they were taken back after a
time, and as We grow more used to the
stuff we took more chances.
One day the men got out with their
can, and as the fun was about to begin

"Boys, that nonsense will be The
death of you yet"

his wallet at the foreman.
The latter failed to cover, aud as he

him. We had walked about 200 feet
when we were suddenly lifted up and

A Wonderful Dog.

A gentleman employed at a colliery n
few miles from Glasgow Scotland, had
q dog called Jimmy, which he parted
with to a friend nj a colIiery some miles
distant. The two offices are connected
BY telephone, and the other morning
the gentleman rang up his friend and
asked how Jimmy was doing. "Oh,
he's fne,' was the answer: she's at my
feet just now; I'll hold him up and see
if he knows your voice." This was
done, and the former owner shouted
over the wire, "Hillo, Jimmy" Jimmy
made no sign Of recognition, but ON
being set down again he MT once made
for the door, and when his old master
went home to dinner the dog was there
to welcome him.

a Limbless Politician.

Fl. Kavanagh, who is lying seriously
i'll in London, and who sat for many
years in Parliament for the County OF
Carlow, Ireland, was, says The Dundee
Advertiser, physically speaking, the
most extraordinary man that ever sat IN
the House of Commons. We have had,
and still have, blind men in Parliament,
and deaf men are more common than
the constituents expect. MIR. kayanagh
had all his senses, but he was without
arms and legs. He had to be carried
into his seat in Parliament. He adj
dressed the house always sitting, and
was allowed to vote without going INTO
the lobby. He was by no means a
silent member. He spoke frequently
on Irish questions, and sat ON quite a
number Of select committees-a special
lift having been constructed to raise
him to the level of the corridor in which
the committee rooms are placed. He
was q man of some mental vigor, but
his parliamentary efforts were concen-
trated in the defense Of Tory and land
lord ascendancy in Ireland.

0ther silkmakers Than Worms

We are accustomed TO consider silk
solely as the product of the well-known
silkworm which feeds upon mulberry
leaves and has been so widely domesti-
Gated in Europe, and even to some slight
extent in this country. But the truth is
that there are many other varieties OF
caterpillar which furnish the same
product, aud that il India alone nifty
different kinds of silk bearing insects
are known. The most important OF
these, the tussur moth, feeds upon more
than thirty different species of plants.
and the caterpillar weaves a cocoon
about four times the size of that OF the
mulberry silk worm. Great attention
is paid to the rearing OF the tussur, and
various religious ceremonies are en-
pIoyed in caring for it. The large,
brown moth which has four trans parent
eyes upon the wings is vencrated, aud
only people of a certain caste are per

Last Friday Ross went to Mr. Davidson, the cashier,

were increased when few small shortages in his col

Is that Ross has been bled by one Hutton, a dis

WASHINGTON, July 81 ,SpeciaD.-To anybody IA

seizure of a British sealer in Behring Sea seems
like an afectation In the absence from Wash

Secretary of the Treasury no Official expression, OF

such an expression would be necessary If either
or both OF them were here. Captain Shepard ap-
pears TO have obeyed his instructions seinng an
unlawful sealer, which happens to be an English
vessel Just as he last year reralned under lnstruc
tions, from Selling British sedlers engaged IN
killing seals in Bchring Sea.
Everybody ought to remember this fact that
until the middle Of the last Administration the
United States laws had beer operative in respect
to the taking of seals in Behring Sea since the
cesson of Alaska to the United States III 1867
without protest from Great Britain or any other
power. The law upon which Captain ShepirdS
Instructions were based was enacted more than
twenty years ago, and Congress at It's last session
emphasized the determination Of the United States
TO maintain it's jurisdiction. in order to prevent
the wholesale destruction of the seal hsnerles. IL

London. July 31.-Lord Salisbury, speaking at the
animal Ministerial banquet at the Mansion House this
eveuinc said that England's aim in foreign affairs
WAS always Peace with honor" Thundcrclouds of
war still overcast Europe Concerning the Immediate
dangey of conflict he regarded the vast preparations
that had been made great security for peace
The issues involved in war would be frghtful that
nations shrank from challenging one another. Events
in Fgypt did not menace the permanent prosperity
of that country. The disorder the frontier would
be suppressed England had entered into engage
ments not abandon Egypt until the latter was
capable of maintaining her own Government in the
face of foes, and these engagements England would
assuredly fulfil Referring 10 Crete, ho did not con-
slider that there any need to fear that the present
movement would lead 30 European disturbance
He repudated the remotest desire of seeing England
in possession of Crete. The reports current to that
effect throughout the Continent without founia
ton Referring briefly to Ireland he held that the
result of the Governments action the brng gtng
of order and sperity throughout the country and
that If any section OF the pcasantry believed that
their interests lay rather IN defyng than In obeying
the law, that illusion was rapidly disappearing.
