a Romantic Marriage.

Twenty years ago a young Chicago
couple were engaged to be married, but
ithe aroom's parents interfered, because
tof his age, and sent him west with the
understanding that if at the end Of two
years he was able to support wife be
might marry. In the meantime, how
ever, the young lovers were not to cor
!respond. He prospered, and at the ap-
ypointed time communicated with the
'girl. He misdirected the letter, how
ever, and it never reached her. He in
.terpreted his failure to receive an AN
iswer as rejection, but eventually he
received his own letter through the
Adead letter office, and he then under
lstood the situation. Not hearing from
him the girl naturally thought he had
Ejost affection for her, and married
anothar suitor. Her husband died three
years ago, and her first adnirer, learn
ling this, wrote his old love with the re-
suit that they were married at his home
in Rochester, Mimi, one day recently.

1t Brought Lawyer Comfortable For
The late A. r. Stewart was harassed
by a certain treasury decision which
vastly increased his payments of duties.
His lawyer, says the New York Press,
called one day about another matter.
Stewart spoke in an exasperated way
about the treasury decision.
''Let me see the decision," said the
lawyer. After reading it through he
said:
'tThis law speaks Of <all-silk' gar
lnents. Why don't you have a thread
,sf worsted run into these goods when
they are made abroad?"
s;Will that come within the new law?"
asked the great merchant.
!; "Certainly."
''How much do you want for that
.opinion?" asked Stewart d few months
later.
s'Fifty thousand dollars" said the
lawyer. And he got it. He was mod"
sest, too, but a dollar went further in
those days than it does now.
Stewart years after told his legal ad-
wiser that the casual suggestion made
that day had been worth over one mill
!lion five hundred Thousand dollars to
F&he merchant.
So the fifty thousand-dollar fee was

When Life Is ExtiDc

The French Academy of Sciences ten
or fifteen years ago offered a prize OF
one thousand six hundred pounds for the
discovery of some means by which even
the inexperienced might at once deter.
mine whether in a given case death had
ensued or not A physician obtained
the prize for having discovered the fol
lowing well-known phenomenon. Ii
the hand of the suspected dead person
is held toward candle or other arti-
fetal light with the fingers extended
and one touching the other, and one
looks through the spaces between the
fingers toward the light, there appears
a scarlet red color where the fingers
touch each other, due to the blood still
circulating, it showing itself through
the tissues which have not congested
When life is entirely extinct the phe.

DOGS ON MONEY.

on Their Coins.
There is an important group Of about
forty coins containing outlines Of dogs,
which deserve careful study. The in
terest of some of them, says Chambers
journal, is mainly mythical, as with
Lelaps, the hound Of Act@on, presented
to Cephalos by Procris; Or with the dog
of Segeste, which symbolized the river
Crinlisus. But there are enough to show
the dog fancier in early times The
coins afford no evidence of bhe develop
ment Of a spaniel, there being no ex-
ample of pendulous ear, Or OF mas
tiff, though bulldogs were undoubtedly
known in the arenas of imperial Rome.
But they prove conclusively-wha5 is
shown, indeed, by the less artistic
products of Egyptian pictography-tha5
the ancients had four kinds of dogs-the
wolf dog, the hound, the greyhound and
the terrier. The Umbrians had their
wolf hounds, the Apulians. of Asculaam,
their grayhounds, the more rugged
hunters Of the Tuscan forests their fox
dogs. The favorite dog of Artemis
Laphria, as On coins of Patrae and
Sparta, was q greyhound, while Act
mon's dogs must have been haf-breed
&eerhounds. Rhegium, il the coins may
be trusted, had his sheep dogs; the
Macedonian city OF Mende it's terriers,
and Cumse, just above the bay Of Naples,
to which all tAe luxuries OF the ancient
world were brought, its goodies.
Further pursuit of this line Of inquiry
would probably throw some useful
light upon the direction OF canine do"
meSticatiOn.

A Snakes big Undertaking.

ton until midday, and Their lay down
for nap in the shade of tree. She
was barefooted. Suddenly a tickling
sensation in one Of her big toes dis
turbed her slumber She looked sleep
lily in that direction, and saw a sight
that made her teeth chatter. A huge
Iblacksnake had swallowed the toe, and
was acting as though he proposed to
swallow the rest of her. AS she gazed
along the sleek back Of the undulating
serpent he seemed SO long that his tail
was below the horizon. When she re-
covered from her temporary paralysis
she arose like a slzyrocket fred Slant

ber with blood-curdling shsiek. After
being jerked through the underbrush

The Patient Chinee.

: A wonderful example of patience in
the Chinee is afforded by consular re-
port dealing with the manufacture of
salt in central China. Holes about six
inches in diameter are bored in the
rock by means Of a primitive form of
iron drill, and sometimes a period Of
forty years elapses before the covered
brine is reached, so that the work is
lcarried on from one generation to an-
other. During this time the boring, as
may be imagined, goes down to an inn
Emense depth. When brine is found it
lis drawn up in bamboo tubes by a rope
working over large drum turned by
bullocks. The brine is evaporated in
iron caldrons, the heat being supplied
lby natural gas, which is generally
found in the vicinity of the salt wells.

FIRING AN OCEAN STEAMER.
Something About the Labor Performed
hy a StOker.

Something About the Labor Performed
by Stoker.
A Scottish contemporary thus de-
scribes the firing service on board an
ocean greyhound: On the City Of Paris
there are sixty fremen, who feed the
fiery maws of ffty-four furnaces, that
create steam in nine boilers. Fifty coal
passers shovel the fuel from the bunk
ers to the furnace door, and the firemen
toss it in. There is something more
than mere shoveli1,g in firing. The
stoker must know how to put the Goals
on so they will not burn too quickly nor
deaden the fire. He must know how to
stir or poke the fire so as to get all, or
nearly all, the heat out Of the coal
Service in the fire room is divided into
six watches of four hours each. Ihe
fireman works and sleeps alternate four
hours. After the first day from Dort
two out of every six furnaces are raked
out to the bare bars during the first hour
of each watch. Thus, in a.voyage, all
the furnaces are cleaned once in twenty
four hours. The steam goes down bit
in the hour while the cleaning is going
on. The stokers shovel into the fur
naces fifteen tons of coal every hour, or
three hundred tons day. The ship
usually takes in two thousand tons at
Liverpool or New York, and has be-
tween five hundred and eight hundred
tons left when she arrives at the other
side. The engineers department is en-
tirely distinct and separate from the
firemen's. In the City of Paris there
are twenty-six engineers, including
hydraulic and electrical. They are edu-
Gated ia engine shops on shore, and a
certain number of them go ON, ships
every year. They are all n1achinists, so
whenever the machinery breaks down
they know how to repair the damage.
In case the chief engineer should be dis
abled any assistant could take his place.

A FORTUNATE ESCAPE.
How m Imprisoned Traveller Was Saved
from q Lion.

How m Imprisoned Traveller Was Saved
from q Lion.
An agent for a Hamburg firm that
deals in wild animals was riding on the
bank of Transvaal stream, says
Golden Days, when his horse suddenly
reared and threw him, and then ran
away. The man picked himself up,
only slightly bruised, and was calling
to the fleeing horse, when a monster
dion rose up from behind bush. The
agents rife had been strapped to the
saddle and his revolvers were in the
holsters on the horses back, so there
was nothing to do but run. Luckily
there was an ope ming in the rocks close
by and in this he squeezed himself
The hole was irregular and ran back
nearly eight feet, but was too narrow
for the lion to enter, and he could not
reach the intended victim with his
paws. When he found the man beyond
his reach, he grew furious and growled
and bit at the rocks. The agent at first
rather enjoyed the situation, feeling
that his fortress was secure, and
taunted the lion by shouting and kick
ing at him. The camp was only six
miles distant, a search would soon be
made for him, and the lion would lie
down presently for q nap, so the man
argued; but the lion had other views.
Hour after hour passed, no help came,
and the lion did sleep, but right in front
of the opening. The agent assuaged
his thirst by licking the damp rocks, but
was terribly cramped and now quite
anxious. But deliverance came in an
unexpected form. Another lion hap
pened that way, and in two minutes a
terrific battle was in progress. The
agent listened to the sounds of combat
until they finally ceased, and then care
fully came out and made bee-line for
the camp. Next day both lions were
found dead few rods from the rocks.
