A REST AT ANY PRICE.

Chicago Daily Inter-Ocean: A
story is going the rounds on the south
side, which makes a well-known
society young man and millionaire S
pretty daughter the principal char
acters in rather laughable comedy.
The young man, who is noted for
his handsome bearing and winning
voice, accompanied the young lady
to her home on Friday evening, and,
as all true lovers do, fingered yet a
little while atthe gate to have alover's
tete- a-tete with his fair companion
The night was beautiful, no one near
to intrude, and above all he loved.
Why shouldn't she kiss him?
With maidenly modeSty she refused.
He implored. She still withheld from
him that which would fill his cup of
happiness. The requestwas repeated
several times, and so engrossed did
the young man become in wooing he
failed to notice the approach of a
paternal step.
The old gentleman, who had been
there himself, and did not care to
intrude upon the happiness of the
young couple, quietly stepped be-
hind a convenient rosebuSh and
waited, thinking the young man
would soon leave. In this he was
mistaken. The lover tarried over the
request until the patience of the old
gentleman was exhausted. A voice
the couple we'll knew aroused them
from their happiness in a tone of
impatient anger by saying:
"Alice, kiss the young idiot, and
let him 60 home"

4 ROBBERS DEN UNEARrHED

Hunters recently discovered by acct
dent near Usage Springs, .. T., a rendez-
vous of robbers and horse thieves, and it
is thought that the discovery will result
in the breaking up of large gang OF
marauders which has been a pest to that
region for long time. The men who
made the discovery were hunting In a
wild region on the north fork of the
Canadian river, in a part supposed to be
surprised one afternoon to come upon n
well defined trial leading into the billy
country to the east of the creek. The
trGil had the appearance OF being well
travelled, and it was determined to inves-
tigate. Next morning they made a cir
cut and found that the trail was made
by the coming together of many small
trails which evidently cane from all
parts of the territory and were all point
ed for the same objective point. Then
they began searching, ard found that
the heavy trail was simply blind and
that about mile from the end OF the
trail another trail led off to the right
This was followed, and the party came to
q natural corral formed by the rocks. In
this they found seven head of horses
which had evidently been stolen, and at
the opening of the corral was a small hut.
where the robbers evidently made their
homes. The United States Marshal was
told of the find aud has placed watch
on the place IN the hope of catching the
thieves

SAW THE CHILEAN RATTLE.

After defeat of the Chile government
troops at the battle of Concon, Vina del
Mar, near Valparaiso, little lad of s or
9 years of age, hatless and barefooted,
arrived in the town of Vina del Mar and
gave toierably circumstantial account
of the fight. At first his story was not
believed, but little by little his tale was
credited and listened to with great aston
ishment that child of his tender age
should haze been present at such SAN
gulnary encounter. He quite artlessly
stated that when the San Fernando bat
talon left the town with banners flying
and bands playing he imagined the troops
were going out to exercise, and followed
them till he found himself on the field of
battle. When the defeat and rout ensued
he joined group OF stragglers and at
last found his way back to VIVA del Mar,
by way OF Quilpue, at viii h place some
body gave him a piece OF bread and
drink Of water.

THE COPTS OF EGYPT.

Thore are between four and five hun
dred thousands copts in Egypt. They
are the bookkeepers and scribes; they are
also the jewellers and embroiderers Their
ancient tongue has fallen into disuse, and
is practically dead language. They
now use Arabic, like all the rest of the
nation. but the speech survives in their
church service, a part of which is still
given in the old tongue, though it is said
that even the priests themselves do not
understand what they are saying, having
merely learned the sentences by heart, so
that they can repeat them as matter
nf form. Copts have been converted to

They tell an amusing little story OF
Senator Vedder when he began to
teach school. He had one pupil,
who was about his own age, merry,
irrepressible young girl. Her fire.
quent outbursts of laughter were very
annoying to the young teacher. 1t
was near the close of the day, When
the weary teachers patience had been
sorely tried, that he determined to
give the girl little squelcher in the
way of corporal punishment. Such
fortunes were always inflicted on the
hand with a strap or ferule in the
presence of all the pupils. So, thus
approaching her, terule in hand, he
addressed her thus:
"Miss -, give me your hand"
She dropped her head and blushed.
Again he said, sternly, miss -,
say, give me your hand.''
Now slowly lifting up her eyes, she
remarked. "Mr. Vedder, this is
embarrassing for me. You should
not make such proposals in public.
However, you must ask my papa first.
1t was said the roar of laughter
from the pupils must have discourag-
ed the future Senator, for it was
never ascertained that he asked her
papa.

ROASTING GRASSHOPPERS.

Indians are fond of the larvae of
many insects, and they do not des
pise slugs as an article of food.
! Roasted crickets are a favorite diet
with them, particularly in California
Utah. Grasshoppers furnish many
tribes with large part of their sub
sistence. The usual method of pre-
pairing them is to dig pit smaller at
the top than below. Some heated
stones are put into the pit and a
quantity of grasshoppers thrown upon
them. Then some more hot stones
are put in, another layer of grass
hoppers, and so on until several
bushels have thus been roasted.
When cool. the grasshoppers are
taken out, dried and ground. They
are eaten alone or mixed with pound
ed acorns or berries, the mixture be-
ing made into cake and dried in the
sun.-Washington St4r.

III the shape of a glacial river which comes
out from a mountain through an arch
way of ice flows for a mile and half in
plain view and then is lost to sight IN

energies finally is unknown. No explorer
has as yet been bold enough to enter the
tunnel and drift through, after the fash
ion of Allan Quartermain and Umslopo-
gaas. The greatest risk in such an
undertaking would be from falling blocks
OF ice.
At the mouth of the tunnel there are
always confused noises and rhythmic
vibrations to be heard from the dark re-
cesses within. The air is filed with
pulsations like deep organ notes, and it
requires but little Imagination to trans
form these strange sounds into the voices
and songs OF the inhabitants of The neither

Mount st. Elias was volcano, and sea
captains sailing On the Pacific have often
beheld what they imagined to be smoke

mistake, and it is probable that the
alleged smoke was really avalanche dust
blown upward by the wind.

PENSION LIST IN THE UNITED
STATES

The number of pensioners has in
creased from 207, 900 in 1871 tn $4,000 in
1891. The increase last year was 13S,0OO,
which is more than half the whole num-
Der on the list in 1880, fifteen years after
the close of the war. There are over $780,
coo new claims pending. The cost of
pensionss this year will be S150,000,000
This is an increase of S100,000,000 within
ten years.
The cost of pensions is now more than
double the total expenses of the national
government in the year before the war.
It is equal to the cost of two of the great
standing armies IL Europe. 1t absorbs
One-third of the national revenues.
To suppose that this work of claim

GARFIELD TALKED TOO MUCH.

One OF Garfeld's biographers says that
he greatly weakened his influence when
ID Congress by talking too much. He
was thoroughly informed on every ques-
ton of the time that came up for con-
sideration, and his exhaustive and often
logmatic speeches aroused Impotence
and sometimes resentment among the
other members. General Garfield ought
10 give us credit for knowing something"
said one Congressman. and he voiced the
opinion of many. Like the Athenians,
who were tired of hearing Aristides eter-
nally called THE Just" they grew weary
of Gartield's elaborate knowledge.
