The life of the chestnut and peanut
vender is hard one, especially when
the street arabs Of tough but tender
years band together and swoop upon
him in serried array and compact sally.
A specimen of the "lately landed" order
stood before his caldron warming his
five digits and nursing the glowing
chestnat when band of young urchins
sailed by, One gave quick kick at the
stand as they passed, which made it tot
ter. The Italian in charge made an ef-
fort to save it, but it went sprawling,
tossing out the luscious nuts upon the
street. This was the grand strategic
effect sought for by the urchins, as it
put the vender in hesitating position.
If he chased the boys he left the
stand, and if he went to the stand he
left the nuts. The vender hesitated a
moment, and the little band of young
bFaba waited to see Mbat be- Mys9qld s de-
niteness. The vender chose to look
to his stand, and his doing so was
signal to the youngsters. Like crows
to the prey they swooped down upon the
nuts in triumph, and with howls and
boots filed their pockets to the full, pay
ing little heed to the forceful ejacula-
tions of the vender. New York Times.

Hot Water In Paris.

The nickel in the slot machine has
found very useful adaptation in Paris,
where new apparatus has recently
been set up at several points in the pub
lie streets for the purpose of supplying
hot water A small structure is utilized
as a bill board for advertising placsrds,
and at a convenient point a faucet pro-
jects. Near the faucet is a slot, and be-
side the slot a button. To use the appa-
ratus pail is placed beneath the faucet,
a five centimes piece equivalent in size
and value to one of our old fashioned
copper cents) is dropped in the slot, the
button is pushed and forthwith jet of
steaming hot water gushes from the fau-
Get into the pail, running until nine
quarts have been delivered, when the
stream stops automatically.
The interior of the apparatus is partly
occupied by coil of pipe, within which
is a gas burner, exactly as in contriv-
ances used in this country for heating
water quickly. The coil communicates
with the city water supply, SO that the
water drawn is always fresh. The gas
is not wasted by being kept burning all
the time, but is lighted by the pressing
of the button which opens the faucet
and the automatic closing of the faucet
and shutting off the gas after the pailful
of water has been delivered are easily
effected by devices in common use. One
of the chief uses of this new institution
is the filling of hot water cans which the
cab drivers place in their carriages in
cold weather to warm their patrons feet

While extra train No. 671 was coming
east Sunday afternoon a few miles east
of Mast Hope, on the Delaware division,
Engineer Edward Taylor espied a large
deer descending the almost perpendicu-
lar bluff on the north side of thetrack.
The deer reached the track few yards
in advance of the engine, and those on
the engine expected to see it run down,
but instead it started down the track in
advance of the train for distance of a
quarter of a mile, and then bounded
down the bank toward the river The
men on the engine saw the deer until
the train went out of sight. 1t was a
buck with five prongs, and must have
weighed in the neighborhood Of 500
pounds. 1t seemed to be greatly fa-
tigued, and was probably started up by
a party of hunters in the heavy woods
back of Mast Hope. Taylor and his
fireman confidently expected to have a
saddle of venison for their Thanksgiving
dinner. Port Jervis On. W Gazette.

Indeed a Remarkable Criminal.

A remarkable prisoner, who calls HIM
self August Mailer. was received at the
penitentiary in Jefferson City, Mo-, a few
days ago on a two years sentence from
st. Genevieve county for obtaining prop
erty under false pretenses. He is prob
ably 70 years old, and has commenced
serving his eleventh term in the Missouri
penitentiary. He first came here in 1886
and, with the exception of a year that
he spent in Jail in Illinois, he has never
been out of this penitentiary but a few
months at time since. He is known at
the prison as Dutch Charley" No one
knows his right name or anything of his
antecedents He is monumental liar
and rarely ever tells the same story twice.
He has been sentenced every time for
working some kind of a confidence game,
and even while in the penitentiary has
piled his vocation on verdant guards and
amateur detectives with more or less
success.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

1t would seem as if, after years of good
counsel on the subject, some farmers
would at least take the hint and look af-
ter the farm tools-particularly after the
seasons work is done; but it will require
a good deal of preaching from the text
before conversion" is accomplished. So
one would think who rides far in almost
any direction this time of the year.
Mowers and horse rakes still out in the
fields, plows astride rail fence, barrows
leaning up against trees these are some
of the not uncommon objects which one
may see on some farms. Get them in,
give a coat of paint where needed, and
save dollars. rs.-Independent.

Story of Lawyers Fortune.

Colonel A. E. Cochran, former resi-
dent of Georgia, but now prominent
lawyer of San Diego, Cal, has discovered
that he is one of the heirs to a prinsely
fortune in North Carolina. In 1875 the
State of North Carolina granted to Will
liam Cochran and William Tate 100, $40
acres of land in what was then an unex-
plored wilderness. The grant which
was over fourteen miles long, abounded
in magnificent forests of mahogany,
mountain ash, oak, black walnut, and
other valuable woods. This property
is loc2ted In North Carolina, and Col. A.
E. Cochran, is descendant of William
Cochran, to whom the grant was origi-
nally made. The advent of the railroads
to within short distance of the prop
erty, the natural increasement in value
incident to the development of the sur
rounding country, togeteher with the
commercial demand for its fine hard
woods and vast mineral deposits, have
given to the estate a valuation which,
at moderate estimate must mount into
the millions.-Atlanta Constitution.

"Lohenprinn in Paris.

Nearly the whole of an act of "Lohen-

Grand Opera, but the trick was man,

prejudices could be hurt. It was an
nounced that at the performance given
for. the benefit of M. Dumainie duet
from Wagner's opera would be sung. by
Nine. Caron and M. Vergnet. When
the audience expected the two singers
to come on in ordinary dress the con-
ductor gave the signal for the orchestra
to attack the first chord of the prelude
to the third act.
The curtain then rose on the bridal
chorus, and, this finished, Elsa and
Lohengrin were left on the stage to sing
the most interesting and the most i'm
passioned love duet that has ever been
written. Now that an attempt has been

week for New York, from whence he will
start on his sixty-second voyage around
Cape Horn. He has the reputation
among seafaring men Of having made
the trip around Cape Horn more times
than any living man, and if the captain
keeps his word he will reach the century
mark on the trips before he retires. This
time he is bound for the Golden Gate,
and will probably not be seen az his
home for year or more. He is captain
and principal owner of the proud ship
Charmer, which has weathered many
gales and brought him safely around the
treacherous Horn oyer sixty times. s.-Cor.

The Only Case on Record.

A curious surgical case is that pre-
sented by Henry Breen, of Fort Wayne
He suffers from aneurism of the orbit,
and his is the only case of the kind re-
ported by physicians. He has received
many letters inviting him to appear be-
fore medical colleges, so they can exam
ime and study aneurism of the orbit, but
as he fears that the blood vessel back of
the orbit may burst at any moment and
thus end his life he has preferred to re-
main under the care of surgeons at home
Breen was brakeman on the Wabash
railroad, and while engaged in coupling
cars at Cecil, o., he was caught between
the steps Of the caboose and the end of a
saw log which extended over fiat car
and his skull was fractured. After long
and painful illness he rallied sufficiently
to walk about, but it was found that
the cords of the left eye were paralyzed
and refused to perform their natural
functions. The affiiction grew worse
and Mr.. Breen went to Springfield, nls.,
where the Illinois surgeons were holding
their annual convention. He was ex-
amined by 173surg1ens, who pronounced
his case "aneurism of the eye," and the
only one on record.
He was put under the influence of
opiates and an iron collar was placed
about his neck, to which was attached a
thumb screw which was pressed over
the orbit to stop the rush of blood. He
was thus kept for forty-eight hours. but
his case was pronounced incurable. He
is now at his home in Fort Wayne.
Breen is man of strong muscular de-
velopment, and would appear to have
more than the average mans chances for
longevity. He is not disposed to be
melancholy over his condition, and says
that he may outlive the entire Spring
field convention. AT any rate, he has the
strange distinction of being the only man
alive who wears "a collar made at black
smith shop.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

For Coast Defenses.

A very novel suggestion for the con-
struction of forts to defend our seaboard
cities comes from Mr.. Anderson, the
head of the engineering firm which has
contracted with the government to build
the lighthouse on Outer Diamond shoal,
at Hatteras. His proposition is to sink
caissons upon the sandy shoals which
exist at the mouth of nearly all our riv-
ers, and upon them to erect forts of 800
feet in diameter, built of solid concrete,
with walls fifty feet thick, with bomb
proof armor of steel over the Interior
