BisnarOis.s ror.ulo. !

We have the most trustworthy infor-
nation to prove that the fortune of Bis
marck may be estimated at more than
500, 900 income. He Is one of the larg-
est landed proprietors of Prussia. He
owns brewery, a paper factory, saw
mill and distilleries. He was always
proud to say that everything that was
consumed In his house was the product
Of his own property. The donations given
toshim on several occasions formed the
greater portion Of his fortune.
His property at Varzin was purchased
by him in 1855, after the war with Aus
tria, with the $500, 900 which were then
presented to him. After the war of 1871
Emperor William took out of the indena-
nifty milliards 100000 for NJ. dc Bis
marcb, and this sum served to purchase
the great domain of Friederichsruhe.
This latter castle is remarkable for it's
simplicity. There are some portions of
1t thatare simply whitewashed, and with
out any ornamentation whatever.
Up to. 1916 Bismarck was obliged to
live rather modestly. The inheritance
Of his father bettered his pecuniary situ-s
alton and brought him the property of
Schoenhausen, and it. was shortly after
that when he married Johanna Won Putt
kamer.
For some time Bismarok's charity was
eagerly solicited, but the old chancellor
was always economical, and he rarely
responded to. appeals for aid. A few
years ago he caused to be inserted in the
papers singular advertisement decIar-
ing that 1t was useless to ask him for as
sistanee. Courier DIES Etats Unis,

There arc some intellectual employ

A specter Desr.

The mountain people on WaIden's
ridge, within fifteen miles Of Ghatta.
nooga, are convinced that q specter deer
protects the living ones. There are still
large number Of deer to be found on
the mountains, and parties frequently
so from the city on hunting expeditions.
They seldom fail to get within sight of
the game, but very frequently return
without any.
The reason for thisis explained by one

gular way. 81 know" he said, ''that
there is specter deer ON the mountain

A Dog That Flew.

This recalls the story of the grey
hound, whose master was an expert BIZ
cyclist, and was accustomed to run down
hill, with his legs tucked up on the ma
chine. The greyhound, a speedy and
highly intelligent creature, always SEEM
ed to take extreme pleasure in this feat,
and one day, to his masters astonisl-
ment, suddenly drew all his legs under
him and shot past the bicycle at an eIe-
walton of some five feet from the ground.
Three times only, in the course OF long
descent, he just touched the ground with
his left hind foot, and met his master at
the foot of the hill with frisks and
bounds, having travelled nearly three
hundred yards in the air. II is q curious
fact, but the chronicle asserts that, on
the death of this dog, elementary wings
were found on his shoulder blades, which
seems to indicate that he had natural
prediction for flying. London Times.

Chloroform, which has proved such an
inestimable boon 10 thousands OF suffer
ers, was discovered by chance. DIR. Simp-
son (who was afterwards knighted) set
himself to find some an@sthetic to take
the place Of ether, which had gained a bad
name owing to the fact that several
deaths had occurred through the careless
use of it. Other scientists joined him In
his researches, and carefully analysed
every substance which they thought was

suit One night Che party were busily
engaged in their self imposed task. They
had tested every subject which had been
selected for experiment without any
thing approaching to favorable issue,
and were beginning to feel disheartened
by their lack of success.
As one Of them was poking about the
laboratory to see il he could find any
thing elss which might be put into the
little testing glass with which each was
provided, he happened upon small bot
tie of dark substance which was looked
upon more as curiosity than as possess
ing any useful properties. With scarcely
. thought of success he poured little of
1t into each of the tubes, and the mem
bers of the party began to. ihhale It. For
a few moments they seemed seized with
an unusual gladness, but soon they one
after another fell to the ground, over
come by the powerful fumes. As they
gradually came to again they recognized
that their search was over, and from
that occasion dates the use Of chloroform
as an anesthetic.-M Montreal Star.

1t is said that painting floors with any
color containing white lead is injurious,
as 1t renders the wood soft and less ca
pable of wear. Other paints without
white lead, such as ochre, raw lumber OF
sienna, are not injurious and can be used
with advantage. Varnish made of dry.

twenty occupants of the building saw
the man at work, and everybody thought
he had been hired either to repair the

waist Deop In Money.

Tom Kelly, the ticket seller Of Bar
NUNS circus, is as muck specialist in
his peculiar line as any, strictly speak
ing, professional man. The whole pro-
cess of receiving the money, giving the
ticket and making change is done in three
movements with the regularity of clock
work. The ticket window is about four
feet above the bottom of the wagon. Mr..
Kelly sits upon high stool, with a large
sum of money in dollars, halves and quar-
ters piled upon the shelton his right. A
corresponding shelf on the left is covered
with tickets and half tickets. All this
is arranged before the window is opened.
A line Of several hundred impatiently
clanoring people wait outside, Mr.. Kelly
climbs upon his stool, takes a long, deep
breath and opens the window.
Money is received in his right hand
and dropped upon the floor. The thumb
of the left hand has in the meantime
pushed ticket from the pile, and the
right hand has selected, mechanically
the change and presented it to the pur'
chaser. No attempt is made to pile MP
the money received. 1t is literally drop
ped, and when the show commences Mr..
Kelly sits like buoy surrounded by 8
sea Of money, the crests of whose waves
mount up to and press closely around his
waist and almoston a level with the win
dow ledge. After the performance com
mences, and no more people want tickets,
Mr., Kelly closes the window and step
carefully over this bed Of money. Then,
and not till then, is any attempt made to
countand assert this sum, which amounts
to several thousand dollars in pieces Of
all denominations. New York Press.

Ir,sl, poets.

The long training of the people in
verse composing and verse reciting pre-
dfsposes them to the composition of po-
etry of some degree Of excellence. Irish
men and Irishwomen as rule have q
knack at writing IL they receive any edu-
cation at all, and are natural journalists
and writer's at an early age. The last re-
markable poet of the Jil6 kind known In
Ireland was Carolan, the blind bard Of
the last century, whose portrait and
some of whose verses, translated and In
the original, Were published by James
Hardiman. He was as peripatetic as
Homer Is said to have been, blind also,
and certainly q fine IL not great poet.
Though the race is not extinct, little ex-
cept the most ordinary verse is published
IL Irish today the audience being too
small to tempt the most ardent patriot.
With all Its inherited shortcomings, and
with the evils that befell it owing to cir
cumstances, the poetic guild Of ancient
Ireland did the world great service In
keeping from destruction historical and
national data lost from other parts OF
Europe. It also added not little to the
worlds stock of tragic, Of noble ami OF

The Country paper n the CITY.

1t would do the hearts Of country edi-
tors good to ride up town on the elevated
cars In the afternoon of Friday and Sat-
urday on any week in the year. On these
two days great many business men give
only hasty glance at the evening papers
and then Immediately draw from pocket
copy of paper that is in marked con-
trast to the city paper, SO far as type and
general appearance goes. The type is IN
variably larger and the displays Of ad-
vertisements and headings to news arti-
cles commonly coarser. The ink is not
always spread evenly over the page.
Nevertheless, the business man opens the
paper to the page devoted to village news
and reads every line there. After that
he not infrequently reads the villagead
vertisements and gives a brief look at the
editorials. The city man used to live IN
the village where that paper was printed,
and he recognizes the names of people
there as old acquaintance, and common
" old friends. The village paper comes
