 "You-you got into the wrong housel gasped Maud.
 'It was the house with the blue door," serenely uttered Mir. Milner, as if this were an incontrovertible argument.
 Marian clapped her hands historically.
 "Mamma!' she cried-'Maud! MT. Milner was the tramp who ate up Miss Deans company lunch! That was just what Francesca Dean told me they had prepared! And on our butterfly china, too!'

 Mrs. Chipley and Marian ha tened to deprecate the pastors humility, and he went sadly to make his peace with Miss Francesca Dean.
 Ut is kind O queer," said Deacon Philp-tt, talking the matter over some few days afterward "The dominic he plumb admits that he's sort O absent minded, and needs wife to keep him straight. And I'll bet even on pretty Miss Maud and Franc esca Dean!'

Revealing HindOO Trick.

Keller, the prestidigitateur, speaking of the famous Hindoo magicians to re. porter of thc Buifalo Express, said: "A trick which puzzled me for long time was making a pineapple grow under a handkerchief. The juggler lays hand kc:chicf flat on the grounl and then be- gins to s.ng and beat on the tom tom, when in the centre of the handkerchief something begins to stir and rise in pyra- midal form dilating until just about the size of pineapple, when the conjurer inserts his hand under the handkerchief and pulls cut ripe pineapple.
 ''I watched his trick several times be- fore l could get a clue to it. The mo- tion of life puzzled mo. But one day l took a position on the side-the con- jurers sit on one side of circle, making the spectators form the rest of the cir cumference-where I could see the jug gler's motion more clearly, and 1 noticed that one of the confederates put bag, like sailors Lag, near the conjurer's hands. He sat there tailor fashion, and as he spread out his handkerchief on the ground saw his hand make a trip swift as lightning to the bag and back under the handkerchief, and I thought I saw something like the tail of snake accom- pany it. That gave me an idea, and afterwards, by pretending to understand the trick, and by paying one of the Hin- doos four rupees, I got him to confess how the trick was done.
 'sThc conjurer does take a snake from the bag placed conveniently at his elbow. When the cobra is put under the hand kerchief he naturally coils himself up. Then the conjurers begin their music and the cobra raises his head, and this gives the lifting motion to the handkerchief. One of the first things cobra does when excited is to swell out his neck, and this makes the pyramidal shape. When tho iuggler puts his hand under the handker- chief he takes with it hollowed pinc- apple and removes the cobra inside of it concealed by his hand. That is one of the cleverest tricks I saw in India.

A novelty in the way of money ship ment between banks was recently re- ported at the Fourth Street National Bank in Philadelphia. A registered mail package containing bank notes to the value of S9710 was received from a California bank that took this unusual method of transshipping a considerable sum of money, presumably for the pur- pose of economizing cost. The regis tered package was transmitted through the postoffice at a cost of sI Of, while if it had gone in the usual way by express the charge for its delivery would have been S15. The sender, however, says the Record, took the risks of the mail, as the government is not financially liable for losses incurred in the transmission of matter through the registry department.

In the Forum, Jules Verne, the dis tinguished French novelist, contributes satirical description of great Ameri- can editor in the year 2SS9. The editor rules the world; he receives ministers of other governments and settles inter- national quarrels; he is the patron of all the arts and sciences; he maintains all the great novclists, he has not onlJ a tel ephone line to Paris but telephone line as we'll, whereby he can at any time from his study in New York see a Parisian with whom he converses. Advertise ments arc flashed on the clouds; report CTS describe events orally to millions of subscribers; and if subscriber becomes weary, or is busy, he attaches his phono- graph to his telephone, and hears the news at his leisure. If a fire is raging in Chicago, subscribers in New York may rot only listen to the description of an eyewitness, but by the telephote may sse the fire.

General Harrison an Expert Carver.

This is one of the pleasantest little stories about President-elect Harrison. When he was a senator here he and his family lived in modest style at quiet boarding house, where they were the only guests. His hostess had heard him say that he was fond of game, and so when she one day saw in the market a lot of plump quail she bought some. There were just enough, as the good hostess thought, to go around nicely. She broiled them to a turn, and served them on toast.
 A little while before the dinner hour Senator Jones and couple of friends called on Senator Harrison. They were still there when dinner was announced. Senator Harrison invited them to 20 down and take dinner with him. They accepted, and the hostess was in despair. There were not enough quail to go around with this unexpected addition, and it was too late to do anything. Sen ator Harrison, as usual, did the carving and supplying. After a little, hearing no complaint as to an insufficiency of quail, she ventured to examine the plates critically. She discovered that while Senator Jones and his friends had plenty of quail, Senator Harrison and his fam fly had a large supply of toast, with but mighty little quail. It was done ID such matter of fact way that she alone noticed it. The invited guests compli- mented her on her skill in preparing the birds. s.--- Washington Star.

His Secret,


 He said: "No one shall ever le Tn This secret that my heart must keep; No matter how the words may burn, No matter how my heart may leap. No one shall know love her so, No one shall know, no one shall known But though his lips were tightly sealed, The very Dir s his sec ct guessed, For in his eyes it was revealed, And in his face it was confe sed: 'I love her SO l love her so, But none shall know, but none shall knowr' The wind soon found it and ran on To tell it to the wondering flowers, And bear it to the gates of d avn, Where loiter all the coming hours: That they might know he loved her so, That they might know, that they might know.
 Some time all secrets must unfoll And soon did he listener seek, To whom his story might be told, Before the laughing world should speak And tell her if she did not know, He loved her so, he loved her So.

A Song of Pleasure. Ah, me! for the snows of winter; And oal for the winds of March, The q rus in the garden,
 And the whorl upon the larch. There has been no time for mourning, There is all time now for mirth, In the sweet fair face of heaven And the dear close face of earth. There is laughter in the snowflake, The wind sings roundelay, And tho green, green grass is luscious In the life of summer day. Then, ah. for the snows of winter, And oh! for the winds of March, The crocus ill the garden,
 And the whorl upon the larch.

! The Atlanta Consultation thinks that
 s'the New York World is simply silly when it proposes to defend our harbor entrances by flooding the water with pc troleum and igniting it, thus creating a sea of fire to envelop the enemy's fleet.
 The enemy would make false attacks until the petroleum was exhausted, and then go to work in earnest. No city would care to keep on hand an unlimited

system. know them intimately. They
are far-seeing, good business men who
do nothing by halves. l knew them in
Kansas City from the time the boom
became marked there. They made fine

same in Los Angeles. Their enterprise

will come from time to,time and set other

HOTEL NEEDED.
Your hotels, 80 far as they go, are
good. They are we'll kept, and the pro-
prietors are very courteous. But you
need q frst-class house. There will
always be a large number Of people
coming here to whom expense is a Sec
ondary consideration; what they want
is luxurious hotel, as good as any in
the world. They are willing, as well as
able, to pay for it. Your people can
well afford to put up the best hotel in
the land. Until you do that, there are
great many tourists, and of the best class,
who will not come here, or if they do get
here they will go right away. / like
your climate; think your soil is fine,
your future is assured, you have good
streets, but you sadly need new hotel.
In few years the center of the city will
be down at Sixth street, and the big
hotel will be at the hub.
SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, SOCIETY.
Now l want to say something to you
that may seem strange. l am surprised
to find the school facilities, the church
privileges and the excellent social
tone of YOUR city. The impression
exists at the East that Los Angeles is a
rough place. 1t is thought that the less
refined and intelligent side of life comes
to the surface here. 1 find this an utter
injustice. 1 went to your churches,
which I find to be very fine edifices.
They are the equal of anything you will
find in any city. The are filled with at
tentive congregations, and the preachers
are eloquent and earnest. Your schools
seem to be maintained in high degree
of efficiency. The buildings are commo-
dious, and we'll suited to their purposes.
Besides public schools, 1 find many
private schools, colleges and academies
of all sorts. lam really surprised. Then
as to your social status, find it of the
highest order. I have been in the city
three weeks, and in that time have
seen but two drunken men on the streets,
and they we're being taken to the police
station. On all sides are all the signs of
a high degree of refinement. of intelli-
gence, and of an orderly, cultured peo-
pie. It seems to me that your prosperity
and growth in the future can hardly be
of q less pronounced character than it has
been in the past.

capital. From what see am persuaded
that you have here some of the best oil
fields and natural gas deposits in the
country. Your people are partly too
timid. and they have not the capital to
develop your resources. 1 see your
banks are rich, and that they carry very
heavy lines of deposits. This does not
argue great enterprise on the part of
your people. So much idle money is not
what you want. Some of these capitalists
ought to be able to find better use for
their money than having it counted up
and their balances written once q month.
They ought to get to work with it. You
are i'm porting butter. You need some
manufactures here. The gas, the oil
and the coal ought to be developed.
A BEAUTIFUL CITY.
I am surprised to survey your city.
You must have very fine lot of archi-
tects in Los Angeles. You have magnifi.
cent blocks of business buildings.
and many really handsome resi-
dences. No city in the Union sur
passes you in these respects. And
your architects will have more to do.
Los Angeles will not stop growing for
long time to come. I am told
that six years ago you were
small frontier town. Now you
are magnificent city. In five years it
will be twice as large as it is to-day. You
think your building material is very
costly. do not see that it is. am
from a great lumber region, but clear
pine costs US four to six cents.
We use great deal Of hard wood in
our buildings that costs much
more, Your redwood is one of
the best building woods ! ever

best of it, clear, beautiful wood easily
worked and taking fine finish.

A MYSTERY DlSPELlED,

Disappearance of Wealthy Hoboken
Risident Explained-Found Wandering
and Insane.
New YORK, Sept. Richard A.
Havens, wealthy resident of Hoboken,
was found wandering on the sands at
Sandy Hook, demented and almost ex-
hausted by sickness and hunger. He
was first seen on Sept. :, two days before
the big storm, pale and emaciated, with
clothes soiled and worn, but refused all
overtures Of assistance by those who saw
him but did not know who he was. He
staid about in the woods, occasionally
coming to the bay shore to dig CLAIMS,
cooking them with an old stove which
had been left on the shore by some fish
ermen. After he had been there few
days it became evident that he was in
sane, as we'll as deaf and dumb, and
those working around the docks tried to
get him to come under shelter, but he
refused, except at night he would go to
the round house to sleep. Initials on a
key-ring in his pocket finally led to his
Identification. He left home on the even
ing of Sept 4, and was given up for dead.
Ill health led to the loss of his mind
