An Attr.c.ire NoveIty.

In 4 leading pipe and smokers sundries
house at Philadelphia is one of the most
artistic novelties OF the year. 1t is in the
shape Of perfect imitation of the coli
bri, the smallest singing bird in the
world, and found only in Africa. The
imitation is the exact size of the real
bird, even to the most minute details of
the plurnage and legs, but what is more
marvellous still is the fact that the imi-
tation einits from its throat song of
wonderful beauty and sweetness, exact
ly like the original.
The little bird is placed in an exQui-
sitely colored tortoise shell box, o inches
by 81 inches. and when 4 small spring is
pressed a small silver lid on the top Of
the box springs open, the colibri jumps
up like a thing Of life, sings, swings,
moves its tail and wing, and the beak
works in 4 perfect manner with the
harmony from its throat. After the
song is finished The bird disappears
within the box and the lid flies shut,
leaving the box perfectly smooth.
This exquisite piece of mechanism is
sold for go 1t is said that only one
man in Switzerland can make these, and
that each one takes him q month to per-
feet and finish it. 1t is Il wonderful
piece Of work, and crowds are being at
tracted t. the st0re.-Tobacco.

taken place among Portuguese authors.
Last June the aged poet CASTILLO Bran

The Spaniards have strange method
OF showing their gratitude to the medi-
cal men who are risking their lives in
the present cholera crisis. In Valencia
physician has been killed by a stiletto
stab IN the back. AT Mogente another
doctor had his head split in two by a
Ratchet welded by woman, while in
another district near Lerdo a third was
set upon and killed by an Infatuated
mob. No doctor can move about with
out military escort. and even then
cases OF assault are of daily occurrence.
The reason assigned is that the peasants
are opposed precautionary regulations.
Strange people, the Spaniards!-TabIe.

Brussels, not content with having
more beautiful public buildings than
any other European city save Paris, has
now determined to rival Paris itself.
King Leopold has Just laid the founda-
ton of an arch Of triumph one-third
larger than the celebrated one in Paris,
and 1t is announced that this gigantic
work viii be completed by the close of
the century. Brussels already has the
most monumental court house in Eu-
rope-a magnificent pile, which cost
vast sums Of money. and which contains
some superb halls. The Paris triumpbal
arch cost &2.0c0,0O0; that OF Brussels is
tocost $3,G00,000. It will be richly or

Hon Raising Is n Gamble.

Hop raising is the height Of gambling
IN the agricultural line" remarked Mr
J. d. Her, the wei known brewer. II
have seen hops sell for cents a pound.
and | have seen them sell for $150 per
pound. Some hop raisers have made
5000 and $1,000 per acre; Others have
lost about as much. It is about as risky
as horse racing, and hop raising hasn't
half the elements of fun that can be
found in popular sports. This year hops
are bringing about 35 cents Per pound,
and are still going up. Drought, frost
and damp weather are some Of the
causes OF the failure Of the crops. If
some satisfactory way could be invented
OF keeping hops from year to year the
range Of prices would not be SO great,
but until this can he accomplished the
growing Of hops viii continue to make
some men poor, others rich. kansas

Indeed the government has received
numerous petitions to nominate DR..
Lutz as president OF the Hawaiian board

Dr.. Lutz is also an enthusiastic bacteri-

An In nr:ennCi Wish.

The writer Of the following-a CORE
spondent OF The Chattanooga News
evidently wanted to ittingly wind up
the fish story season: My cousin owns a
watermiIl, and in removing some OBJ
structions found an immense log i'm
bedded i'll the stream, which must have
been submerged for a number Of years
The log had to be cut in two to remove
it, and mach to our surprise we found it
hollow. although it had every appear
ance of being solid. One Of the negroes
while examining the log looked into the
hollow, and thought he saw something
moving He began using his az, and
soon had the log cut in another place
Imagine or Amusement when we dis
covered live catfish Of enormous size
SO completely wedged in the hollow as
to be unable to move, except to open its
mouth and wiggie its tail The fish was
very lively ard apparently in the enjoy
ment Of excellent health. The question
is how did the fish set into the log, as
the only means Of irgress and egress we
could discover was q small round hole,
not more than two inches in diameter.
We surmiSed that he must have entered
the little opening when no larger than a
minnow, and grown great in his solitary
confinement

chocolate. To such TN extent has she
eaten sweets of this kind that her skin

young lady anything containing choco-
late. A few days ago, however, the
young lady vent to a store in Clifton

candy. The merchant told her he was
not allowed to sell her candy Of that

A company Of st. Louis men has lust
been formed for the purpose of manu-
featuring and Introducing a hydraulic
street car motor. The pumps with
which the hydraulic pressure is exerted
are to be operated by electricity. and
the hydraulic engines are to be con
nected directly TO the axles of the trucks
OF the car, thus obviating the heavy
gearing that's usedin the electric motor.
Two tanks, each containing about one
half barrel of water, will be used on
each car. Two points Of merit claimed
for the invention over the regular cleo
tric system are that it dispenses with
the use Of cog gearing, which wears
rapidly and requires frequent renewals,
and that tie same devicec can be operated
with compressed air by placing receiving
tanks for the air under the seats Of the
car.-New York Journal.

reach a membership Of 10000 "Ad-
vancement Of wheeling" has always been
the motto Of the league, ard the good
roads of the country owe their condition
to the efforts of this band Of cyclists. In
1880 ninety riders assembled in New

protection and for highway improve
ment. From this seed the league has
sprung with mushroomlike growth, I'M
til its societies extend into all parts OF

Of membership consist in the assistance
Of the whole body to secure better roads
