cult to Kill Them.
J. J. Rousseau attributed any nat
11ral superiority that England possessed
over France to her freedom from wolves,
writes a Paris correspondent. Il, 1889
five hundred and fifteen wolves were
killed in France, and the bor1nties paid
for their destruction amounted to thir~
ty~six Thousand francs, or nearly
seventy francs per head. The reward
varies, following the age, the sex and
the Fsantecedents'' of the wolf. The or
binary SUM is forty francs; it q She
wolf is young, one hundred and fifty
francs; for a wolf That has attacked Ii
human being, two hundred francs.
Most wolves were killed-~eigl1ty~ two
and seventy skin the departments
of the Dordogne and Charente. Under
the ancient regime the lieutenant for
the destruction of the wolves was an
important functionary. To-day he is
the largest landed proprietor in the
forest district chosen by the prefect, and
who binds himself to keep q pack of
wolf hounds, ETC., to hunt down the
wolves in December and March. In re-
turn the proprietor is allowed two days
free shooting per month in the govern
ment forests. The wags say the Lieu
tenants are the natural friend of the
wolves, in order to uphold their sport
ing rights. It is difficult to run to
earth an old wolf, because the animal
can run it's one hundred miles at d pinch
in q single night. The Prince de Join
vile has the best pack of wolf-hounds
in France. Anyone who captures a.
wolf, no matter by what means, has
only to bring the ears and right fore

reward The ears are then slit to pre-

A BusTLING OLD MAID.

She Concealed Fortune in the Part OF
the Dress Sacred to Old Papers.
Miss Maggie schutt, Of Derry, Pa,
died one day recently. She was sixty
five years of age, and since her fathers
death, twenty years ago, had been liv-
ing out as maid of all work, for a
long time having been employed by a
family named Bennett. For years Miss
Schutt's relatives have been puzzled to
know what she did with her money.
She lived, says the New York Jour-
nal, like perverse old maid and in
dulged in no luxuries or frivolities.
Three days after her funeral two OF the
women OF the house concluded to clean
up the room occupied by Miss Schutt. Her
wardrobe was not extensive but the ac-
cumulation of old knick-knacks for
years was quite bulky. Several arti-
cles of wearing apparel were consigned
to the fire.
Suddenly Miss Jennie Bennett un~
earthed large, well-made heavy hustle
of ticking. For years it had adorned
the person of the departed. With the
remark: ''Well, here it goes, Kate"
Jennie threw it into the flames, but,
taking a second thought, she pulled it
out again. 1t seemed awful heavy for
a hustle, she said. "Let's rip it OPEN"
On turning over to insert the scissors
q piece Of green paper was seen stick
ing out of a hole in the seam. The
green paper was a bright twenty-dollar
bill. Scissors were thrown aside and
deft fingers took their place. THE whole
thing was ripped open. There was
feminine scream Of delight. There
lay tens, twenties and hfties from the
new scrip issues of the present day to
those of a score Of years ago.
Nesting in the bed of greenbacks
were shining gold eagles and double
eagles and small silver coins. The find
was hastily counted. Nine thousand
dollars is what it netted

A DESERVED REBUkE.
The Painful Predicament of Pair Of
Chattarine Young Women.

The Painful Predicament of Pair of
Chattering Young Women.
A pair Of chattering young women
met with a deserved rebuke the other
evening at the commencement exer-
cises of the Brooklyn high school. AS
the different young men appeared on
the platform to deliver their orations
these young women kept up a running
fire of comment and criticism most an
noying to persons near. A gentleman
sitting just in front of them looked
around several times and frowned
sharply at the continued buzzing, with
out, however, producing any apprecia-
BILE effect. At length young speaker
came upon the stage in whom the gen
tleman was evidently interested. If
possible, rear conversation was noisier
than at any preceding moment, and no
body in the vicinity regretted when the
gentleman squared himself about and
said, in a voice loud enough to be heard
up and down the line:
.sThe lad speaking is my nephew. /
will be obliged if you will allow me to
hear him.
The silence that followed could be
felt. Ell

"A Young Woman Exerts Herself to Equal
the Man She Loves.
Among the graduates of the year one
brave young woman has completed
course frankly taken in preparation for
rnatrimony. Like many girls, says the
Boston Journal, who make society
amusements their chief existence, this
young woman did not realize the de-
fciencies in her education until she had
won the friendship and love Of one who
was her superior in intellectual require
ments. With the realization of her ig
norance came the determination to study
for self-lmprovement.
Entering as q pupil at a well~hnown
school for girls, she took courses in
literature, philosophy and other studies
which would enable her to write and
speak with accuracy and would teach
her the best methods of thought. She
entered classes of political economy and
studied the newspapers under compe-
tent direction. Urging her teachers to
correct all imperfections in her speech
and manner. she made constant effort
to attain the standard which might
bring her to an equality with her future
husband. The struggle was not easy.
There were trials of pride in studying
with girls Of a more youthful age: there
were many moments of modification
from the exposure Of her ignorance.
Determination to succeed won its
usual rewards. The society girl, whose
bright mind had been eclipsed by the
routine of pleasures. became renowned
in the school as one of the most earnest
and satisfactory pupils. When she
graduates this year into the refined
home that has been in preparation for

equality and entertain his friends with

UNCLE SANS FISH.
They Will Figure on a Large Scale
at the Worlds Fair.
Plans for the Greatest Aquarium Ever
Constructed--A Display Heretofore
Unrivaled In the
World.

The fish exhibit at the Worlds Column
bian exhibition is to be a wonderful one,
and not the least interesting portion of
it, naturally, will be the aquarial or live
fish display. This will be contained in
a circular building 1853 feet in diameter,
standing near one extremity of the main
fisheries building, and in a great curved
corridor connecting the two.
In the center of the circular building
will be q rotunda 60 feet in diameter,
in the middle of which will be basin
or pool about 26 feet wide from which
win arise a towering mass Of rocks COW
cred with moss and lichens. From
clefts and crevices in the rocks crystal
streams Of water will gush and drop to
the masses Of reeds, rushes and orna-
mental se1ni-aquatic plants in the basin
below. In this pool gorgeous gold
fishes, golden ides, golden tench and
other fishes will disport. From the ro-
tunda one side of the larger series of
aquaria may be viewed. These will be
ten in number and will have capacity
of 1000 to $4,000 gallons of water.
Passing out of the rotunda by the en-
frances a great corridor or gallery is
reached where on one hand can be
viewed the opposite side Of the series Of
great tanks and on the other a line OF
tanks somewhat smaller ranging from
75O to 1880 gallons each in capacity.
The corridor or gallery is about fifteen
feet wide. The entire length Of the
glass fronts Of the aquaria will be about
SIS feet or over 5000 square feet of sur
face. They will make a panorama
never before seen in any exhibition,
and will rival the great permanent
aquariuns of the world not only in size
but in all other respects.
The total water capacity OF the
aquaria, exclusive of reservoirs, will be
1875 cubic feet, Or $40, 900 gallons
This will weigh /, 192: 1925 pounds, or al
most 600 tons. Of this amount about
10000 gallons will be devoted to the
marine exhibit. In the entire salt
water circulation, including reservoirs,
there will be about $4,000 gallons. The
pumping and distributing plant for the
marine aquaria will be constructed of
vulcanite. The pumps will be in dnpli~
cate and will each have a capacity Of
5000 gallons per hour. The supply Of
sea water will be secured by evaporat-
ing the necessary quantity at the
Woods hall station Of the United States
fish commission to about one-fifth its
bulk, thus reducing both quantity ard
weight for transportation about 50 per
cent. The fresh water required to re
store it to it's proper density will be
supplied from Lake Michigan. In
transporting the marine fishes to Chi
cago from the coast there will also be
an additi on OF probably 5000 gallons Of
pure sea water to the supply Oh each
trip.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 13.-
Less than third of the delegates to
the Democratic State Convention
are in the city tonight. To-mor-
row, however, they will come in on
special trains from all directions,
and the demands upon the hotels
by wire and mail give promise that
Wednesdays gathering will be one
of the largest that has ever been
placed to the credit of Ohio's
Democracy. Most of the ar
rivals Of the afternoon and evening
were adherents of Gov. Campbell,
but many Of them, far seeing,
conservative men who have borne
the heat and burden Of the day for
the Democracy in many a hard
fought campaign were free to con-
fess their dissatisfaction with and
regret over the lookout; and there
has been good deal Of talk and not
a few quiet conferences regarding
what ways and means might be
adopted to pacify the discordan1
elements. The, fact is recognized
; that the Republicans are united
and enthusiastic that as their stand
and bearer they have one of the Re
publican leaders of the nation; tha
that the campaign is to be fought
not SO much upon state issues a
upon a national one-the tariff
that it will be fought to the death
and that there is greater necessi

The Milers Want to Create the Idea
Mat Me Wheat Crop IS Up to
the AUerage.
By The United Prees.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 10
A report on the harvest prospects
in France and Europe has been re-
ceived at the State Department
from Commercial Agent Griffin, of
Limoges, France. The National
Millers' Association of France, the
report saSs has just issued an esti-
mate founded on very carefully col
lected data, of the probable wheat
harvest of France and Europe for
1891.
The estimated yield of wheat for
1891 will be S2,779,0OO hectoliters.
This is the maximum estimate; it
will be 81 per cent less than the
harvest of 1890.
Russia, Tunis, Egypt, Roumania,
and some of the Dannbian provinces
will have fair harvest. In Hun.
gary i. will be below the average this
year. The estimates given by the
millers, the report says, are opti
mistic. The desire to create ar
impression that there is a better
supply than really exists, is al
done with purpose to buy grair
as cheaply as possible in those
fortunate countries that have al
abundance to export.
In conclusion the report says, no
only France but all Europe is look
