CYRUS W. FIELD carries two watches,
one a cheap affair, which he uses, and
the other a timepiece worth 50, 500, a
gift of a friend, which he never takes
from its fob, because, his friends say, he
dislil1es vulgar show. People who have
read in the newspapers two-coIumn ao-
counts of the dinners which Cyrus now

London, which accounts Cyrus cables
over very carefully at his own cost, will
be glad to know that he Is so free from
the petty vice of vanity.

JUST after midnight, a compositor in
the Office Of the Bombay Gazette, who
had been for three weeks on spree,
imagined he heard a strange noise.
Looking at a window over his head, he
saw a huge cobra slowly entering the
composing room. He imagined that
the vision was caused by an attack of
delirium tremens, and that the snake
was merely the product of a diseased
brain. Still he was so terrified that he
had to scream. His cry brought his
associates to his rescue, and the snake
was killed with an iron bar.
