 The slot machines apparently do good business. Eight million pennies are dropped in the penny slot machines alone in Philadelphia during the course of a year. The popularity of slot machines all over the country is remarkable, and means fortune for some people.
 It has been doubted by learned men that there are any who live to be one hundred years old, but Austrian census takers have discovered a score or more persons in the empire who have passed their one hun dredth birthday. The eldest was the widow of Peter Hanei She has certif- cate of birth dated Dec. 24, 1776. Of her four living sons, the youngest is 70 years old. In Szegodin a man named Isak showed birth certificate 105 years old. The former customers of Berlin restau- rant must have some narrowing memories. The proprietor has but recently failed, and l the settlement of his affairs has brought to light a very peculiar bit of trickery. Ven. ison was always to be had at his place, and it must have been popular dish, as veni son is necessarily scarce and expensive 1T Berlin. One of the restaurateur's creditori is dealer in horsefesh, and that gentle man has brought in large bill.

California ORANGES

Tho Grunge crop In southern Oalffoe-
MA in 1880 amounted to about 2, 300 car
loads, each car containing 500 boxes.
which means that southern California
sent eest 100000 boxes of oranges in
that year. Tho oranges now being
packed and shipped from that region
will easily all 1900 cara, and it Is at this
rate that the culture Is advancing nm
nually in this section. Tho first
oranges In southern California were
planted by the old mission fathers, who
undoubtedly brought the seed from
Spain. In the past ten years the con-
sumption of oranges has grown 500 per
cent. IL that state alone. Rival and new
roads have opened up market which
1t has never before known.

Bamboo Enables Burned Village 90
Quickly Idso from Its Ashes.
striking illustration Of tho influence
CT the bamboo on tho why's and even
on the character of the people may be
found in observing one of tho most
frequent incidents of burmese ufe-a
house or village on fire
In country where the smoking of
tobacco Is limited neither by uge nor
sex, nor time nor place, and where
houses arc thatchcd and for half tho
year as dry as finder, it will be under
stood that men become familiar with
the phenomena of fire. 1t is less easy
to realize the comparative Indifference
with which such u visitation can be re-
ceivcd, or to credit the truth that to tho
casy-going population of this primitive
region even fire itself seems robbed of
its tcrrors-
When we think of what Is meant by
fire in house or village in western coun-
trieS-to be turned out of doors TO tho
mercy of the elements; to lose OF O
stroke the investments Of scanty cap
ital or the stock of household furniture,
which can Ill be replnced; to run ter
riblc risks, even of life itself-it Is hard
to understand that there are countries
where such incidents form DO part of
the Accomplishments of the most de-
structivc fire, says writer In Frank
Leslie's Popular Monthly.
AT q spark from cigar or pipo O BuY-
rnese village is ablaze, and In few
hours whole streets are in ashes But In
the hutter and excitement that ensues
we look In win for any such evidence
OF ruin or despair as u similar calamity
elsewhere brings inevitably In its train
Loss of life ut q Burmese fire Is Oh
most unknown. The simple household
stuff is quickly ernpticd from the single
storied cottages and hcapcd under tho
trees by the roadside; to people who
live habitually an outdoor life there Is
no hardship In passing tho night under
the open Sky; and. when the fire has
once gained an irresistible hold, it Is O
sight for philosophers to see the calm,
ness of the villagers Us they sit and
smoke quietly In groups watching the
progress of tho flames
In a few days the ephemeral city
rises once more In clean and orderly
streets, and beyond few main sup
ports Of timber or in tho houses of tho
leading townsmen, from end TO end Of
tho street and from floor to roof of
every house the bamboo from tho
jungle hard by hos supplied, at tho cost
of labor only, the principal material of

mlsolREcTED SYMPATHY,
Tho Reward OF Good-Natured Woman
Who Was Impulsivc.


Tho Reward OF Good-Natured Woman
Who Was Impulsivo.
She was ono OF those iinpulsivoly
kind-heartcd women who extend their
sympathy to everybody and to every
thing that they think needs it, whether
il Is invited or not, says tho New York
Tribune She sat In ono of tho cross
seats of IN elevated train the other
day, and opposite her sat two women.
An umbrella leaned up against the seat
between these two, and they were both
buried in new numbers of popular mag-
uzines-
The sympathetic woman wos talking
Of IN umbrella she had recently Lost by
leaving it in the cars She had gone
down TO tho place where such lost
articles are stored to reclaim 1t, but 1t
was not there Tho disappointment
she felt ut not finding it there, how
ever, had been dwnrfcd by the sorrow
she experienced when she saw the rows
ON rows of other lost articles which
their owners had not como to reclaim.
She pictured to herself In vivid colors
all tho tears and regrets that the great
array Of lost articles represented, and
she almost wept herself.
AS she was telling all this to her COM
panion one of the women opposite her
got up and left tho car. Tho umbrella
was left behind, and the sympathetic
woman saw ut o glance that another
loss was about to occur under her very
eyes She thought of calling tho for
getful woman back, but she was al
ready out on tho platform of the cur
beyond hearing. Sho thought then of
taking care of tho umbrella herself and
advertising for the owner. She was
sure tho guard would keep tho umbrol-
Ia himself, or some dishonest person
would claim it and take it away.
But then If sho should take it herself
people might think she, too, wanted to
steal it. That would be horridi But
what was she to do? If somebody had
put himself out little on her account
she would not have lost her umbrella
Now here was an opportunity to do O
b kind act and prevent another woman
from similar loss, and sho could not
make up her mind just what way to go
about it. How provolSingl
Just then brilliant idea flashed
across her mind The woman was on tho
station platform now and tho car win
dow was open The train was moving
on by this time but in tho twinlsling
of an eye the sympathetic woman had
grabbed the umbrella, thrown 1t out
upon the station platform, and with
her head out of the window was calling
and gcsticulating wildly to the aston
ished woman at whose feet tho umbrcl-
Ia had fallen
. She was rudcly recalled by nervous
hand clutching her arm and n feminine
voice shouting in her ear: "uow dnro
you throw my umbrella out of the win
dow, you horrid creature! I'll have you
arrcStcdl"
1t was tho other woman.
