A Snow White Swallow.

Ornithologists in Paris are much inter
ested in the discovery of a rare bird in the
shape of a snow white swallow. This
novel specimen of the feathered tribe came
to life lately in nest which was built by
the parent under the caves of glass roof
covering court in the extensive manufac-
tory of a tradesman residing in the district
of Grenelle The white bird was born
with two black specimens, one of which
flew away as soon as it was fiedged, where
upon the tradesman, in order to keep the
other two, transformed the glass rooted
court into temporary avisry.
Photographs have been taken of the snow
white swallow, and will be sent to the lead
ing naturalists of the city, one of whom
wentto Grenelle in order to study the feath-
cred curiosity. This gentleman was, how
ever, too late to see the bird alive. 1t per-
ished probably because too much care was
taken of it, or through fright at the num-
bers of people who came to stare at it as
natural curiosity. The dead bird will now
be stuffed and sent to the museum at the
Botanical Gardens, where there is already
white maybe, which still lives and hops
about among its companions, from which
it only differs in color.-Paris Letter.

Greek Merchants,

On the first floor of the old Delmonico's
was the bar and the coffee room. In the
latter, between II a. m. and 2 D. M, you
would always find lot of Greek mer-
chants slipping coffee and smoking cigar
cites, which they rolled on the spot. They
were enormously rich and did business
in this way: 'Oh, you want some Algerian
wool. think l have few thousand bales
of Oran and Sfax over in Brooklyn; but
you must see my Understandable is in
their hands entirely" 1t was the same
with coffee or hemp. The brokers had
everything to say that was to be said Let
the owner enjoy his coffee and cigarettes
and the society of his polished associates
from the land of Socrates; but when it
came to payment-cash or paper that
would sell at sight; no confidence bust
ness, if you please. The ancients used to
say that Greek credit" was to deliver the
goods with one hand and receive the price
with the other.-New York Star.

There was woman at the Union depot
one morning who chewed. This assertion
is not limited entirely to the time during
which she masticated her daily bread, nor
must be construed to mean that she closed
her face successfully upon Il mouthful of
the newest brand of gum. In that respect
she was unlike the great mass Of women
and girls, and instead worked away upon
the finest brand of fine cut. The woman
had just arrived from the Ozark regions,
and having no better occupation she
chewed tobacco while she awaited the de-
parture of the train that was to take her
west.
She carried about pound of fine cut in
a small hand basket, and seeking variety
was seen to take a good sized piece of plug
tobacco from her pocket and bite off COM
Portable ''chew." The Colorado madura
gentleman who looks after the condition
of the depot floors sighed as he contem-
plated the woman, who evinced a dislike
for cuspidores He asked her when her
train departed, and handed in his resigna-
ton, effective at noon, when she replied
that she had about concluded to remain
there all day.-Kansas City Star.

BRUINS REVENGE,
How Tame, Unosfen1ing Bear Got Even
with Two Pugnacious Dudes.

How Tame, Unosfen1ing Bear Got Even
with Two Prgnacious Dudes.
A dozen years ago a garden was located
in the eastern end of that long and narrow
southern watering place, Hot Springs,
Ark. AS all visitors TO that little city
among the delectable Ozark mountains at
the time indicated will remember, this
garden contained a bear, which served as
the principal attraction to draw a crowd.
One hot day in July, after bruin had
"rasseled" down Black Dan, burly Afri-
can employed for the purpose, and had
robbed a beehive, the rightful proprietors
of which lacked the spirit to defend their
rather limited stock of sweets, an amusing
incident occurred.
It's swindle, hippodrome!" growled
youthful Hebrew, conspicuous for his
white duck suit and shiny silk hat. "I'll
bet that those lazy old drones will call
around after their share of the rake off ~
Then he and friend followed Bruin as he
was led away to an open space among the
pine trees and fastened to stake by a
chain something like thirty feet in length.
Left to himself the animal began travel
his tether permitted.
Lie suppl UTuUG! STOWltu tI0 WHllG
suited Israelite as he poked the animal
with his silk umbrella.
The bear receded little and then con
tiuued his circular tramp, swinging his
head slowly. Each time he approached the
twain the one with the umbrella struck
him, and the two laughed in unison. Soon
various onlookers observed that Bruin was
dragging good deal of slack chain behind
him, and that his annoyers were standing
upon his beaten track. Suddenly, with a
quickness hardly to be expected from an
animal of his ungainly motions, the bear
rose to a standing posture, and seized his
tormentor in his enormous arms. The
next instant they were rolling over and over
across the circular plot of ground. Soon
Bruin released his victim and ambled to
the stake in the center of his domain, be-
side which he sat in indisputable enjoy
ment of the scene.
The tramping ground of a bear is not
the most clearly place imaginable, and
though the man was not hurt physi-
cally his white clothing and fine feelings
had suffered sad injuries. He left that
night for his home.-Chicago Special Press

The only school in which can remember
being taught to bow upon entering or leav-
ing was a village DANES school kept by one
Pleasant Allen. The curriculum there was
of the simplest kind 1t consisted of the

spelling, spot hooks" ION a slate) and ''un-

worsted stuffs afterward used by the dame
in the making of patchwork cushions-by
the sale of which she eked out her living

''unpicked" the bigger girls would sew the
patchwork covers. If we learned little
else, however, we were at least taught de-

A MEMORY OF TIE OLD FARM.

Where life is ell a simple round of bliss.

And the stars are family winking
You can call to mind picture such as this
Hank. the cows ere homeward roaming
Through the woodland pastures cleaning,

And from out the bosl,y dingle
Comes the softly tangled jingle
And the oft repeated echo of the bells
Strange how memory will fling her
Arms about some scenes we bring her,
And the feeting years but make them stronger

Though wander far and sadly
From that dear old home, how gladly
/ recall the cherished scenes of long ago
Harkl the COWS are homeward roaming
Through the woodland pastures cleaning.

And from out the bosky dingle
Comes the softly tangled jingle
And the oft repeated echo of the bells.

Great Success Due to Diet,

Who were the great victors of the Eight

THE LOTTERY BILL.
What Effects il VIII Have On the
Gambling Institutions.

WAsHINGroN, July 26.-The report Of the
house committee on pOstotices and postroads
to accompany the substitute anti-lottery bill
agreed upon yesterday was filed this after
noon. The committee says that present legis-
lation is inadequate and more forciblc laws
must be enacted to prevent the use Of
the mails by lottery companies. The
present law can be enforced by courts
only and conveys no power to the postmaster
general. One of the main benefits TO be de-
rived from the substitute bill, if it becomes a
law, is that which makes the act of mailing
lottery letters and circulars "a continuous Of
fense, triable by tho courts in any jurisdic
ton through which they may pass or into
which they may 80. A greater benefit, if
possible, will be tho closing of the mails to
newspapers which contain lottery advertise
ments and lists of prizes, thus
partially cutting off communication
between the lottery and its customers
and reducing the number Of its victims, The
substitute bill, the committee says, proposed
to cure the existing defects in the law by
means of which the letters intended for the
lottery company reach their destination
through a third person or agent The sub
stitute, if enacted, would permit the post
master general to deny to any agent of the
lottery company the benefits of the registry
and money order system and would result in
compelling the lottery company to obtain re-
mittances through express companies or silni-
lar channels

A Recount Ordered.

WASHINGTON, July 2G.--The secretary of
the interior today ordered a recount Of the
population of the cities OF ST. Paul and Min
ncapoiS.
Prior to issuing this order the secretary
had received from Superintendent of Census
Porter letter detailing the trouble regard
ing the count of the Twin cities and an in
vestlgatiOn was made by his bureau. In it
he says in part The evidence before me
may be summarized as follows In all prob
ability there existed in Minneapolis a wide
spread organized conspiracy for initiating the
census of that city. This conspiracy was
only partially carried through. owing To its
early discovery. TO what extent, however,
the schedules are fraudulent can be at pres
ent only matter of conjecture. These
fraudulent schedules take all llmanner Of forms.
Families have been swollen to an enormous
size by the addition of children and DOarderS
the capacities of existing houses have been
taxed far beyond their limits by the addition
of families, and houses with their contents,
have been invented by the hundreds. In ad-
ditiOn TO these palpablc frauds trauSicnts and
mcalers have been enumerated at hotels and
boarding houses and employees have been
enumerated at their shops as well as at their
houses, in large numbers. In ST Paul there
has been discovered no evidence of an organ
lied conspiracy, but numerous cases
of illegal additions TO schedules are
found. These additions are similar
in character to those discovered in Mnneap-
oils, but are not by any means rs widespread
or extensive.
'In view Of this condition Of things it
seems iInpossible TO be assured Of the correct
census of these two cities without making "A
recount throughout"
Superintendent Porter SAYS no protest
whatever has been presented that tho super
visors in st. Paul or Minneapolis We're par
ties to the frauds,
James II. Wardc, assistant chief clerk of
the census bureau, will have Charge of the
work at st. Paul and H. w. Kruse, a special
agent, atMinneapolis.
