When you have written as many books as
have you will see that you are going to be
accused of putting your friends in your stories
anyway, whether you do it or not; and if
you have any good material you had better
make the best of it, Now, as a matter of
fact, to show you how it works, my male
characters are usually mosaic-made up Of
tag ends of the men have met; my women
are ideal creations of my brain. As a result,
am frequently told that my men are horri-
BILE "cads,n aud that this or that heroine is
perfectly lovely-iust like Miss So-and-so,
etc. In fact, the ladies are VIGOROUSLY illogi-
cal in detecting Identities. You put girl in
a frontier town in Texas, and call her Lucy,
and if there's girl within 500 miles of the
place with the same Christian name I'll
wager she is sure she is the one intended,
and, ten to one will be indignant at the dress
YOU make her wear. Her friends, too, will
be just as positive about the matter as she is.

A Tame Otter,

An otter belonging to Scotch gentleman
was so tame that whenever it was alarmed
by strange dogs it would endeavor to spring
into its masters arms for protection. This
animal was accustomed to fish in the stream
that flowed close to its masters dwelling; it
would catch eight or ten salmon in the course
of the day. 1t was equally expert in the sea,
where it caught numbers of Goldfish. 1t would
hunt in this manner till it was tired, when it
refused to enter the water again. Its master
then fed it with the produce of its sport, and
after it had taken sufficient it went off to
sleep and was generally carried home in that
state.-New York Mail and Express.

Canada's boundary Line.

The boundary line between the United
States and Canada is not Imaginary" as
most people suppose The fact is the line is
distinctly marked from Lake Michigan to the
Pacific ocean by cairns, iron pillars earth
mounds and timber clearings. There are $50
of these marks between the Lake of the Woods
and the base of the Rocky mountains The
British placed one post every two miles and
the United States one between each British
post. The posts are of cast iron, and cast on
their faces are the words, Convention Of Lon
don, October 20, 1878" Where the line crosses
lakes, mountains of stones have been built
projecting eight feet above high water mark
In forests the line is defined by Telling trees
for a space rod wide.-Toronto Globe.

Raising the Hat.

On the proper method of performing that
salutation known as raising the hat there
have always prevailed rather conflicting opn-
ions in France. Sometimes Frenchmen lifted
their hats in three distinct motions, carefully
performed; at other times they removed them
with a sweeping and somewhat rounded ges-
ture A certain Comte de Larmandie, in his
so called physiological study of the Faubourg
st. German for the year 1889, has now laid
down rules respecting the coup de chapeau
which are based on the precedents furnished
by the most modern and most fashionable
members of the very best society in the city
The man of fashion, according to the ount,
must now remove his hat in saluting with a
broad sweeping gesture which is at the same
time elegant and brusque. The hat, having
remained well aloft for a while, must be
brought down on the head quickly like a
sword into its scabbard The person saluting
should preserve an impassive countenance as
much as possible while going through his ele-
CANT evolutions, but the count does not find
fault with little smile on the features, the
said simpering movement being either patron
izing or familiar, as occasion may require

How to Keep Your BED from ROCKING.
Lieut. Beale, of the signal service, says that
if parties who are disturbed by what is termed
rocking beds" in the time of storms will
open the windows of their houses on what
sailors term the "leeward SIDE" that is to
say, on the side opposite to that whence the
storm comes, they will not be troubled with it.
THE rocking is the result" he explains, ''of
a difference between the air indoors and that
on the outside When a bigger puff comes
the bed, forced by the air within, which seeks
to join that outdoors moves in one direction
and is forced back when the puff becomes
lighter. Relieve the pressure by opening the
windows and this so-called rocking ceases.
Many house that has been blown down in a
tornado would have been spared its owner
had this fact been known. The proof Of what
say as to this pressure is shown in the fact
that houses. after great storms, are frequent
ly found with the leeward wall only blown
out and the other three remaining intact. y

The River Plate.

The expression 1.-THE River Plate country"
is frequently used by people who little know
what it really means The Plate is called
river, but in reality it is bay 100 miles wide
at the mouth and G5 miles wide at Monte
video, in Uruguay. Between the capitals it
gradually is reduced in breadth to twenty
eight miles. Above Buenos Ayres two mighty
rivers, which have been collecting their wa
tiers up and down the continent, unite to form

Duncan Rows Blanket.

This anecdote of Sir Ralph Abercromby,
the victor of Abouzir, shows that even in the
presence of death he did not forget that con-
sideration for others which is the ruling spirit
of really great men. After the battle at
which he was mortally wounded he was car
ried on board one of the ships and a soldiers
blanket placed under his head to ease it. he
felt the relief and asked what it was. Only

A QUESTIONABLE DODGE.

1t has become so common of late to
regale the public with such very in
teresting stories about one or another
"curious incident" which stories al
ways end in some humbug advertise
ment scheme, that one rarely ever
knows whether he can spenu time in
reading any newspaper statement
whatever. The unlicensed extent to
which such practices are being carried
would seem to call for law to sup
press the use of the public prints for
purposes of deception, for what bet
ter is it in morals to take q mans
time under false pretences than to
take his money? Let everybody es-

. KELLEY RESIGNS.
The City Treasurer Gives Up His
Office TO the Council,
And A. ]. Parshall Is Appointed to
Succeed Him.
New Bids Ordered For the Central
Avenue Viaduct.

The city council held its regular meet
ing last night. In the absence of the
mayor it was called to order by Alderman
Hebard, who resigned his seat to the
mayor who came in q lew minutes later.
The treasurer reported that be returned
the warrant issued for the collection of
unpaid taxes unsatisied and the report
was referred to the finance committee and
the city attorney.
Mr.. jerks reported that the Eddy
street sewer extension to Crow creek was
completed by the contractors. II. w.
Bradley's bill for extra work on the eve
was not allowed.
At this i~uucture A. d. Kelly handed
in his resignation as city treasurer to take
effect upon the appointment and qualif
cation OF his successor. Later on in the
evening Mayor Riner proposed the name
Of A }. Parshall for the vacant position
and Mr.. Parshall was elected treasurer by
the council
Mayor Riner suggested that as the city
seal was a relic of territorial days a new
one will be ordered.
The viaduct question being taken up
Mayor Riner reported that after waiting
in Omaha several days he had made an
agreement with President Adams by wire
aud the contract drawn up by the city at
torney was accepted by Mr.. Adams. The
contract has been signed and sent to
Omaha for the seal of the Union Pacific
road. The contract provides that the
city is to build the viaduet and the com
pany to pay 10000. The contract calls
for a viaduct costing SOL 900. The plans
being somewhat changed the council
authorized the advertisement for new
bids; all bids to be accompanied by a GER
tilted check of 10 per cent OF the total
AMOUNT. As the new bids are to be pre-
scented with the unde rstanding that the
city is to pay cash for the work Mr..
Keefe's bid was ignored.
Mr.. Robins moved that all bids on the
viaduct be presented by the next meeting
of the council, This motion was carried
Mr.. Riner informed the council that the
city attorney had drawn up a bill to be
presented to the legislature authorizing
the city to issue thirty year bonds to pay
for the viRduct. Mr., Potter was also in
structed to draw up a bill to be presented
to the legislature providing for the fund
ing OF the city debt, The present city
bonds are drawing s per cent interest and
can now be called INDY the city at any
time the money IS obtained to pay them
SO there are no Instructions to funding the
debt on a 6 per cent basis.
After recess Mr.. McGregor offered a
resolution providing for a.viaduct across
the track at Themes street. The resolu-
ton was adopted by the council and the
city clerk instructed to forward a cop OF
the resolutions to the officers Of the rail
road company.
Mr.. Merrill moved that a warrant be is.

Rev. R L. Field, who has been for
the past five years pastor of the Presby-
terrain church of this city has accepted a
call to the Phoenix. Arizona. Presbyter-

The city of Phoenix, where Mr.. Field
