A Hotel Clerk OutWittcd.

The best lawyer story | know of"
stsaid a prominent clubman to a oan
Francisco Examiner man lately, "ls TINS:
A Napa County man arrived in town not
long ago and went to a hotel, the name
of which shall be u~ndivulged. In the
evening he handed the clerk a flity-dollar
bill for safe keeping, saying, I'm gong
out tonight, and don't want to carry
much money around with me. There
happened to be only one clerk IN inc
office as he took the bill, put 1t IN an
envelope and apparently stuck 1t II the
safe.
"Two days later the visitor sauntered
into the hotel office, looking rather
sAeepish and detected. Waiting until he
Jaw the clerk alone, he sllded up anu
said; Il will trouble you for that sao'
please
" What $5O?' asked the official, coolly.
1.-THE guest recalled the incident OF
bis handing over the money for safe
keeping. but in spite Of his inslstence the
clerk denieda Ill knowledge of the matter,
vhereupon the man from Napa County
consulted a lawyer.
procure another ffty-dollar bill, said
the LAWYER. Take a friend with you
and 90 to the clerk again. Say you
found you were mistaken, and that you
discovered the bill in your pocket. Ask
him in your friends presence if ne will
keep it in the safe until you need 1t.
Then come back to me for Instructions
1.-The visitor did as he was bid, md
returned to his legal adviser the nextday.
Now go back to the hotel alone, and
when you find your clerk dlsengaged ask
him for your money
ssThis the visitor did, and the money
was forthcoming.
Now said the man of Jaw when the
client appeared for further orders, take
the friend who was a witness to your
handing over the second ffty-dollar bill,
90 with him to the clerk and ask for your
bank note again
"The ruse was entirely successful. The
clerk, finding that his victim had a wit,
ness to the transfer of his money, and that
a denial would be useless, stepped behind
the desk, dug the original tfty-dollar bill
from his pocket, thrust it into an en-,
velope, stepped to the safe, and, pretend
ing to take it out, handed back his
booty"

An Eagles Attempt to Take a Child.

Among the scattered hamlets on the
Tauridan steppe, writes a Russian CORE
spondent, the Kings eagle is well known
as n of the boldest depredators of its
species, especially during the lambing
season. It does not often pursue such a
quarry as a sturdy, f~ull-grown, two-year-
old child, but such was the case only a
few days ago. In the little village of
Dalni- Maschik, in the Crimea, a peasant
woman left her cottage during the after.
noon upon some short errand. She was
followed by her little two-year-old son
The child had proceeded not more than
twenty yards from its own threshold AheE
a large Kings eagle descended with Q
lightning swoop, burying its talons in the
head and neck of the little victim. The
eagle made one or two Intellectual efforts
to raise its quarry. The child's screams
attracted the instant attention of the
mother and several neighbors, who hast.
ened to the rescue. The eagle had driver
its talons SO deeply into the poor child'i
neck and face that it could not release it
self, and struck out so fiercely that stick
and stones had to be used to dispatch it,
The child's head, face and neck wert
frightfully lacerated.

A Magnificent Mausoleum.

A contract has been signed for the
construction of a magnificent mausoleum
in Laurel Hill Cemetery for the Floods,
and work upon it will commence in a
few days and be prosecuted steadily bye
large force of men for a year, when it is
hoped that it will be finished. The
mausoleum is to be finer than the beauti-
full one lately completed by James G.
Fair and equal to that of the Croker
family. It will cost at least $100, 900.
1t will be modelled after the Jay Gould
mausoleum, but il beauty of structure
will, it is stated, even sur-Css it. It's
form is to be that of a g1fipteral Ionic
temple, and it will be conf EructedA atirely
of California material, andHaAEAATost entirely
of granite. The only other material used
will possibly be a little marble along the
margins for the receptacles of the dead.
Even this will be dispensed with, if pos
sible, and artistically worked granite
substituted.
The great tomb will be about thirty
two feet long and twenty feet wide, and
will reach to a height of twenty feet.
There are to be twenty-eight columns,
each being a perfect polished piece with
out joint and unmarried in any way.
The ella will be ten feet eight inches in
height with angle of volute caps on all
sides.
When completed, the mausoleum will
in the interior have the effect of a great
mirror, as its granite sides, and even the
floor, which will be of granite, viii be
as smooth as glass. The dome in its in
terror will be of paneled and curiously
carved granite.
The mausoleum as at first constructed,
will have reeeptacles for. six persons, or
for as many as constitute the ,.ood family.
When the monument is completed the re.
mains of Mr.. Flood will be transferred
from the O'Brien vault to their perr,a-ent
resting place.-SaD Francisco 0hsaaielzs.

of the brain of a Kansas man. The ice
yacht is designed to skim over the frozen
surface of the lakes and rivers, but the
snow has hitherto proven an impossible
expanse, with the exception of the sleigh
and the snowshoes. BY the application
of this new idea, however, the snow be-
comes equally under the subsection OF
the sportsman in any district where there
is enough of it and where the country IS
open enough for it to be undistu1bed.
The principle is almost the same as the
ice yacht, but applied to the toboggan.
A large toboggan is made, and the run
ner-planks are set ten feet apart and are
thirty-two feet long by two feet wide.
These rest, of course, under the tobog-
gan, which is about twenty feet long by
ten feet broad, and is only different from
the ordinary toboggan in the matter OF
lee-boards about six inches in height,
which run along each side. The mast IS
| stepped into a wooden "foot," or square
block of wood, and is about twenty feet
in height; to such a boat the dimensions
| of the boom would be about twenty-five
feet and gaf twelve feet. The boat Is a
peculiar one in appearance, but sails well
as soon as a crust forms upon the snow.
The one [ saw last year was fitted at the
masthead with a peculiar bent piece OF
stout, fiat iron wire, placed to eaten
the telegraph wires as a COW,
catcher catches an obstruction, ana
TO lift them up and slide them
over the mast as the boat passes under
meath them. The great reason Tor TINS Is
that the snow being several feet IN depth'
it. of course, decreases the distance be-
tween the wires and the ground, n SO
something is necessary to lift them up.
The steering gear of the sno yacht is
! simply a pole about ten feet in length,
fitted with a broad end, which can be
turned at the will of the pilot, so as to
dig into the nov and SO obtain a good
purchase, or when running before the
wind, it can be left to trail behind.
These boats sail very fast in a good wind,
and are fairly easy to manage, the only
difficulty being found by inexperienced
mariners in putting them ABOUT. 1
brought up too suddenly, she will not
get quite round, and will jamb' right In
the wind, and unless the occupants have
snowshoes on board, and SO can get out
and boost her round, they are likely te
have a hard time. Without snowshoe:
the weight of the boat win push the mer
into the snow, instead of their efforts
moving the boat. 1t will be readily seer
that this boat is simply an adaptation o.
the idea of the Fijian in his double canoe
which is applied to the snow surface ~
stead of water. It is expected that b.
means of the snow yacht the malls on tn
Western p~rairies will this. year be de
livered during several months of the yea
when previously it has been PRACTICAL
impossible.

The use of fine sawdust as a dressing
for wounds and as q vehicle for medica-
rents or antiseptics has been suggested.
Tt is said that the dust, freed from
splinters and sharp bits of wood by sift-
ing, when uscl alone and dry, makes q
clean and grateful dressing; that it
readily takes up and holds the discharges
without packing o adhering, and that il
il easily rendered antiseptic by any OF
tie methods used in preparing antiseptic
cotton or wool. A well-known medical
authority also suggests that our yellow
pine sawdust, rich as it is in turpe1tine,
would prove of itself a valuable antiseptie
application.

he cannot, that is certain. She is under
parental or guardian eye, and a chat with
a man stranger " a callow youth is out
of order.
However, under her modest mien and
bashful eye their turks encouragement.
Her sleeve waves and the swaying of a
sleeve is a sign of willingness. It is
enough. Romeo, in lieu of a rose, losses
her his smokers c~hatelaine, with ivory
netsuke, says a writer in the Century on
people in Japan. If she filings it back or
drops it his hopes are blighted. If it
finds safe hiding in her girdle then there
will be a meeting and perhaps love and
marriage.

breaking boats very slow in an ordinary
breeze. the brains of our builders and IN
ventors were devoted to the task'of get
ting the highest rate of speed out OF a
ten-knot breeze rather than breaking tae
record obtained in a favorable gale.
The difference between these IS Xix
the record OF a skater on a circular track
and one with the wind behind him. The
latter breaks the record, but the former
wins the race, and that is the aim Of the
ice yachtsman.
Several ideas have been tried with
more OF less success, the skate blades
have been ground on different patterns
from the old straight-edged blade, and
instead of the under surface which runs
on the ice being perfectly fiat it has been
sshollow ground" that is to say, the
centre of the blade has been more or less
cut away, leaving the outer edges sharper
| and harder, SO as to diminish the leeway
in reaching, which, of course, increases
i the speed by just SO much.
Hitherto the sloop rig has been the
popular style, and it is yet believed by
, experts to be the fastest and most salts
factory rig known. This year a new rig
will be tried, which will be productive OF
considerable interest in ice yacht circles.
It is a modification of the latteen rig OF
the Mediterranean ~feluccas, and the great
advantages claimed for it are that it gives
q great spread of unbroken canvas, Is
easier manipulated than the three or
four sails of the sloop, and, better still,
brings the bulk of the sail area and con-
seouent resistance to the wind right down
to the very point which modern sailing
science proves to be most productive OF
high speed.
The Iatteen rig consists of a stout mast
stepped in the ordinary way, and the
sail is spread upon a huge gait, or boom
which extends in an arc from the bow Of
the yacht up to the top Of the mast and
beyond, the sail covering the wholesp space
from stem to stern. This rig is n Of
the fastest known modern rigs as applied
to ordinary sailing craft, the feluccas Of
the south of Europe being proverbiai FOL
speed, and considerable interest is felt al
to the result when the good properties o.
this rig are fully demonstrated.
