Your statement that Mr.. Baxter over

only governor who has drawn more than
his proportion Of the contingent from the

An Extraordinary Ir,shman.

Dion Boucicault, who is as clever as
he is cratic, is now in his 6Sth year,
though he says that he has lived at least
ten centuries. 1t is thirty-seven years
since he came to this country, and dur
ing that period has, it is said, become a
citizen of the United States four times,
returning after each naturalization to
Great Britain to renew his loyalty to the
queen. Up to date the number of pieces
he has written, translated and adapted
for the stage is about 1870. Although it
has been customary to speak of him as
an ininitable plagiarist, he has done a
great deal of original work, notably in
such dramas as "London Assurance" !"
"Old Heads and Young Hearts" "The
Octoroon," "Arrah nah Pogue." "The
Rapparee" and "The Shaughraun." On
the other hand, for him to call himself
the author Of "Used Up" "Louis X1, y
THE Corsican Brothers," "Faust and
Marguerite" when the originals arc SO
well known, is degree of astonishing
ilnpudence that might be styled Bouci-
cauitism.
1t used to be asked, when it was men
toned that Boucicau1t had written a
new play, "Whose play has he written?''
and not without nodicum of justice.
If he borrows literally, if he appropriates
wholesale, it is not because he lacks in
vention and ingenuity, Of which he has
abundance, but because he wants to
make money. He has gained half u
dozen fortunes, and lost them all.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

Bigger Than Booth.

The exception to the rule, if the script
ural saying that ga prophet is not with
out honor save in his own country" is
really rule, has been found, it was dis
covered, through a young man in the
Booth and Modjeska company. His name
is Clarence Duval, and he was assigned
to tho minor parts in the plays those
great artists presented to the public. In
"Richelieu" he played Francois, and
when the company was at GAINESVILLE, o..
that happened to be the play produced
This town is the young mans native
place. It is the place where he was born,
brought up, and where he went out Of
nights to steal watermelons with the
other boys.
Young Duval wasnot exactly prophet,
but he was a member Of great company
and the town turned out In great force.
The house was full, and it soon became
apparent that Clarence was the star at
traction. Every time he came upon tho
stage he was greeted with applause, and
for every little speech he made bouquet
of flowers was thrown him. Booth and
Modjeska were terribly sighted that
night. and as the actors stood bowling
when the curtain arose, in response to an
encore after the last act, a hugo stand of
flowers was handed over the footlights.
1t bore card, ON which was written
three names in the following order:
Clarence Duval, Edwin Booth, Helena
Modjeska." Clarence had all the honors
that night, even if he should never be
heard Of again.-Chicago Herald.

One Leg Nearly as Good rs Two.

The ease with which Governor Beaver,
OF Pennsylvania, gets about on one leg
and two crutches surprises almost every
ono who meets him. In reply to n query
on this point the general tells a story.
"a classmate of mine at Jefferson col
lego lost an arm while fighting in the
southern army. At reunion Of our
class at the end of the war 1 was the
first member on hand. After engaging
a room at a Canonsburg hotel l saun-
tered around the old college buildings
waiting for the rest of the boys of the
class of '56 to turn up. The first one to
put in an appearance had all empty coat
sleeve. While Confederate shell had
taken my leg, a Union ball had torn
away his arm. 1 invited him up to my
room, and he was with me that night. l
noticed that he had no difficulty at all
in arranging his clothing and in doing
pretty nearly everything else that u man
with two arms finds necessary to do. l
said to him that the loss of an arm did
not seem to incommode him. Well, do
you know, Jim, he replied, that since
lost my other arm and find that every
thing want to do can be done with one
arm instead of two, often wonder what
reason the good Lord had for making
man with two arms Now, in my case"
tho general concluded, II won't put the
thing as strongly as my manned class
mate did, but one leg seems to answer
me very we'll. l."-Chicago Herald.

A Wealthy OIL Man.

The richest man among the guild of
oil producers is John McKeoun, of Wash
inton, Pa. About tho time of the break
ing out of the oil excitement on Oil
creek he landed at Castle Garden with
no more of this worlds goods than
thousands of other immigrants. His
first work in tho oil country was rs a
day laborer, with a pick and shovel,
grading seats for oil tanks near Petro-
leum Centre. He became contractor
and built derricks and tanks for oil pro-
ducers. Whenoi was found in the great
Bradford basin in Mexican county he
got hold Of some property and entered
the list Of producers. He had amazing
good fortune and after operating in
Bradford for several years left Mexican
county comparatively rich man.
He also made fortune in Butler coun-
ty and then went to Washington county,
where he opened up great oil bonanza.
The biggest wells in that wonderful ter
ritory have been his, and at times his
income from his gushers has been as
much as $25, 900 month. Mr.. McKeoun
puts on no style, and might be mistaken
any day about his wells for one of his
workmen. His wealth runs into the
millions. The oil producer who ranks
second to him in wealth is Thomas w.

Philosophy of Dining.

One of the old Greek philosophers was
once approached with the question as to
the hour of the day at which one should
take his dinner. The answer was char
acteristic. eff you are rich," said the
wise man, "you will dine whenever you
please; if you are poor, whenever you
have anything to eat" This same phil
osophy seems to be accepted by the
Turks of the present time, Judging by
what Mr.. Barkley says of the practice
of this people.
There is popularity about Turkish
cooking. Wherever you are, and Mt
whatever time of the day you ask,
when will dinner be ready?" the answer
is always the same. "In ten minutes, -
and yet I have had all sorts of dishes on
the table at the same time. Idon't know
how it is managed, but think it is an
improvement on our English plan of hay
ing to keep to fixed hour. If no order
is given dinner is served as q matter of
course at sundown, and this habit is
usual among all classes.
We were somewhat surprised one day
at Clianthe, our Greek cook, asking,
please, sare, what time you eat your
dinner today!' We answered. "When
we are hungry"
"Vera good, sare, COS me get one booful

Newspapers OF the Present,

No doubt tho present tendency toward
triyialities and personalities will con-
tinue until private rights and public
morals arc better protected by the laws,
and until the acmo Of size and profit in
newspapers has been reached. In the
race for expansion and power the leader
who has adopted the readiest means has
often imposed his methods upon men who
would choose the best means. The fault
of n lower tone here and there is not
properly chargeable to the great body of
workers, for in the profession will be
found today q high average of ability
and conscientious performance of duty;
and never before our time have news
papers been able to command tho trained
intelligence and taste to enable them to
do oil they arc now doing for the develop
ment of art and literature All that the
newspapers of today are doing for ever.
good cause, and notably at this moment
for that of good government. Capital
and financial success are of course essen
tial for the production of a great mod
EN- newspaper; but tho public has
right to demand that those who bear the
highest responsibilities of the profession
should issue newspapers which they, as
private individuals, would be willing to
indorse in every part as men of charac-
ter, refinement and self respect.-Cen
tury.

Tho First Railroad Accident,

The first great railroad accident oc-
CURED on the Great Western road of
England in 1841. A train was rushing
along when a mass of earth and stones
fell from the embankment and obstruct-
ed the way. Eight persons were killed
and many wounded. The coroner's jury
returned verdict of accidental death
in all cases and deodand of 81 900, an
engine, tender and carriages" Tho old
common law provided that when any
personal chattel was tho cause Of death
1t should be forfeited to the king. Part
Of this act was not enforced in later
years, but a heavy fine was imposed on
the owners of any chattel doing personal
injury to tho kings subjects. This law
was observed as late as 1S47, when par
lament abolished tho practice.-Detroit

Honesty und Convcntiona1,tv.

The root meaning of conventionality
is q bringing together Of tho best forces
of the head and heart to devise methods
by which we may meet subject to COM
mon laws; our social status is main
tained among our kind by our knowl-
edge and Interpretation Of these laws.
He who secs conflict between conven-
tionality and honesty bears the same
relation to the social world that the
Anarchist does to the political; he OBJ
jects to obeying laws that trammel his
will.
There is no greater evidence of crudi-
ty than belief that declaration of an
honest opinion is always in order and
that silence is deceit.
Tact is regarded as q sixth sense by
some, and if we stop to analyze it we
would say that it was perfect balance
Of honesty and conventionality, for the
tactful person is Of too high an order to
be untruthful, and of too kindly a nature
to be unconventional. 1t is this balance
that endows him with that attitude that
lifts him above the mass of l.. N. The
woman who thinks it necessary to tell
another that she has "gono off five years
in ono" is certainly honest, but she is
not conventional, even though she can
quote the written laws of every book on
etiquette, and accepts all new acquaint-
ances on the basis Of the "rules for tho
use of cards." We endure her when
forced to meet her, but we do not make
opportunities for that privilege, nor
value her the higher because she IS per-
fectly honest.
Conventionality is to society what
the criminal law is to tho world at large,
and should be SO applied that the person
who robs society of the possibility of
pleasant intercourse, of graceful act and
speech, of the power to meet imperson-
ally, should be kept out by the combined
efforts of those who believe that kindli-
ness is the foundation of social inter-
cOurse,-Christian Union.

Making Money Out of Klcpton.aniacs.
"What do you do with such people?"
the reporter asked of q merchant.
1--WE send them bills for what they
take, when we know them. If they are
strangers we act according to circum-
stances. A few days ago q lady was in
this store with her daughter bearti-
full little girl of 10 years. The child was
seen slipping roll Of costly ribbon into
her satchel. We spoke to the mother,
who became indignant. She opened the
satchel to convince us that we were mis-
taken, when twas found to contain three
lace handkerchiefs, two pairs of gloves
and tho ribbon. All these articles had
been appropriated.
"That was q plain case of stealing.
What did you do?'

nothing. We can't afford to arrest

About Baking Horses.

Horses know nothing about baking
until they arc forced into it by bad
management. When horse balks in har-
ness it is generally from some misman-
agement, excitement, confusion, or from
not knowing how to pRll, but seldom
from any unwillingness to perform all
that he understands. A free horse in a
team may be SO anxious to go that when
he hears the word he will start with a
jump which will not movo the load, but
give him so severe a jerk on tho shoul-
ders that he will fly back and stop the
other horse. Next will come tho slash
ing and cracking Of the whip and hal
looing Of the driver, until something is
broken or the driver is through with his
course of treatment. But what & mis-
take the driver makes in whipping his
horse for this act! Reason and common
sense should teach him that tho horse
was willing and anxious to go but did
not know how to start the load.-New
York Times.

Lightning Strokes Statistics.

The statistics of lightning strokes in
Germany during the past twenty-six
years have been investigated by Herr
Kastner, who shows that the annual
number of cases has more than doubled
in that time. In 1889 there were no
fewer than 1 1,145 strokes. They are most
frequent in the hottest months of the
year, June and July, and in the hottest
hours of the day or those following them
(from 8 to 4 p. n.y. 1t appears that the
thunder storms proceed from the hills,
and the parts Of their course most liable
to be struck are woodless and fiat places,
valleys of rivers and low meadows, near
lakes, while wooded and hilly districts
generally escape. This last deduction is
hardly in accordance with our popular
ideas on the subject.-London Globe.

Indian Lions DYING Out

The lions of India appear to be going
tho way of the great bustard and the
dodo, and the reason is found in the ex-
tension of railways, for the monarch of
the forest shares with Mr.. Ruskin a NOR
tai antipathy to tho smoke and screams
of locomotives. Within tho memory Of
many persons lions were common enough
in Rajputana, and even now the roar of
one may be heard occasionally in the
widest parts of Central India; but the
new railway from Nagpur is now being
constructed through this country, and
this is practically notice to quit served
upon the few remaining lions in tho CEN
trail provinces. Practically tho only H.
ons now remaining that are worth mcn-
tioning seem to be the raco existing in
Kattywar, which was visited by Prince
Albert Victor the other day. Their num-
Der remains, it is believed, pretty sta
tionary. 1t is strictly forbidden to shoot
them, save by way of tho grand sport;
but many conditions are unfavorable to
their multiplication, and even tho Kat
tywar lions are clearly doomed ere long
to disappcar.-London News.

A Pusteboard Camera.

The enthusiastic student of photog-
raphy may obtain a good deal of amuse-
ment, and not a little knowledge, by cx-
pertinent with the "pasteboard camera"
as it has been called. Take long cigar
box and blacken the inside. Make pin
hole in the centre of one Of the ends, and
place sheet Of carbonic paper beneath
the lid and jam it down. If by dry
plato is placed at the end opposite the
pin hole, with the sensitive side toward
the latter, the lid jammed down and the
box taken from the dark room to an open
window, where there is a view of some
building or other object, a very fair pict-
ure will be obtained on returning the
box to the dark room and developing the
plate at the end of half an hours expos
ure. By interposing meniscus lens the
aperture of the pin hole may be greatly
enlarged, and the taking of the picture
much quickened.-New York Evening
