They Eat as Dickens Told Them.

A good story is told at one Of the ho-
tells here about some of the English di-
vines who are in the city in attendance
upon the Methodist ecumenical council.
1t was noticed that at the hour set down
for dinner on the card posted in each
room giving the rules of the house these
English preachers would gather about
the doors Of the dining room and when
they were opened would make wild
rush inside, and to seat themselves hasti-
" at the first table they reached and to
begin to eat as quickly as possible.
The landlord was puzzled to know the
cause Of this strange conduct on the part
OF his foreign guests. Inquiry developed
the fact that these reverend gentlemen
had before coming over posted them
selves on American customs by reading
Dickens american Notes" and ssMar-
tin Chuzzlewit.' The scene in the latter
descriptive of the effect of the hotel din

whatever he was doing and make rush
for, the dining room lest he should fail
to get any dinner they took as gospel
truth and were governing their own con
duct accordingly. - Washington Cor.

Illustrated Reporting.

In connection with the suicide of Gen,
eral Boulanger, a feat has been accom-
plished by one of the Paris weekly pa
pers which shows to what perfection of
dispatch illustrated reporting has now
been brought. On Wednesday, on the
reception of the news of the generals
death, The Illustration sent to Brus-
sells two members of its staff, one
craftsman, the other photographer.
On Thursday morning these artists had
photographed the general lying in state,
as well as the hotel in the Rue Montoyer,
and had even improvised representa-
ton Of the scene in the cemetery. They
then took the train, and arrived in Paris
on the same day with all that was need
ed for the illustration of that days issue
Of the journal. An interesting detail is
that the proofs of the photographs were
taken and the artists drawing executed
during the railway journey back to

Asks $4,000 for Sitting on Tack.

ASKS $S,OOU Tor Sitting on Tack.
A great many suits have been entered
against the Traction company, but the
queerest one of all has been instituted
by Otto Kramer, who sues it for $4,000
damages, the result Of sitting down upon
tack. The statement which Mr.. Kra-
mer makes regarding the casualty is
rather incomplete. He found the tack
in the cane seat Of car. The manner
of finding the tack was simple but eff
fective. Mr.. Kramer went into the car
and sat right down upon the tack. He
probably got right up again, although
this factis not mentioned in the court
statement, but the damage had been
done. The wound he suffered led to alb
cesses.
The tack could not have been of the
ordinary carpet variety, as it protruded
up through the bottom of the seat, and
protruded very badly at that. Mr..
Kramer did not give the number of the
car in his statement, and, therefore,
there is no means Of knowing whether
that particular tack has been driven back
to place Of safety or whether it is still
lurking for unconscious victims. -Phila-

Parnell'S Brother.

According to an Atlanta paper a
seedy looking man, not quite fifty and
wearing a discouraged and colorless
SLOUGH hat, with a suit to match, stood
before the bulletin boards in Atlanta the
other day to get a glimpse of dispatches
about the death of Charles Stewart Par
nell. The man was John Parnell, a
brother of the Irish leader, who has
spent the latter years of his fife tending
fruit trees On a little farm seventy-Gve
miles from Atlanta. 81 cannot believe
that he is dead" said he. 'sThe only
thing that makes me believe the report
is the statement that he died suddenly.
There were twelve children in our fam
lily, six of whom are dead, and every one
Of the six died suddenly. Our sister
Fanny, who died last, was found dead in
bed. Charles, and in fact all of US, are
subject to attacks of nervous prostra-
ton, and if he is dead this must have
caused his death. He loved usall, and
but a short time ago he wrote me most
afectionate letter."

A Home on a Canalboat.

Lying on the opposite side of the pier
from the Arrow line steamship Howard
Cassard is the floating home of Captain
Z. Leonard and family, Of Buffalo. It
is canalboat, old and weather beaten,
but strong and seaworthy. One end is
lifted up as living quarters, with a kitch-
en-, dining room and bedrooms, and
there Captain Leonard, his wife and
two children pass their time. The rooms
are cozy and homelike, and from the
ceiling of the dining room are suspended
cages containing a hooking bird and a
little canary. A pet thoroughbred Skye
terrier romps with the children or leaps
in mischievous play at the cages contain
ing the birds.
Farther back in the boat is a little
playroom used by the children. It con-
talns their dolls and play things, and also
two etwhite rabbits, which leap about
as gayly as though they were free. At
the other end of the boat stable room
has been fitted up for pair of horses,
used by their owner on the toWpath,
and large, white Chester pig. The lat
ter Is thoroughbred, direct from Ire
land. The mother Of the pig and the
little one were received by Captain
Leonard in June. The mother weighed
over 300 pounds and was a beautiful
specimen of hog flesh. She was sold to
a stock farmer in New York, and, if
she lives, will be shown at the Worlds
fair in 1898. The pig bids fair to Guido
the mother, and at three months weighs
over 100 pounds.
The horses and pig get along well
enough together, but the little terrier
dares not show his head in the stable
from fear of "Biddy, !" the pig. Captain
Leonard and his boat are from the Erie
canal, New York state. In July he
went into New York and got a charter
to Philadelphia, and thence to this port.

The Latest About Salton Lake.

A prospector who has just come from
the Colorado desert after six months
trip says that he has ridden around the
greater portion Of the Salton lake, and
that, in his opinion, there is little likeli-
hood of its drying up. In any event it
could not all evaporate should the flow
cease before the freshets Of next season,
when it would again pour into the basin.
He thinks that next year the breach al
ready made will be enlarged, and that a
greatly increased volume of water will
flow in, making the lake a permanent
feature for many years to come. The
past summer has been eventful in desert
history, as there have been an almost
unbroken succession of transforms, sand
storms and electrical storms Immense
Quantities of rain have fallen, and the
thunder and lightning have been some
thing terrific. San Francisco Chronicle.

Hamburg,s Paper Hotel.

There seems to be practically no limi-
tation to the uses to which paper can be
and is applied. To the long list of ar
ticles intended for personal use, and in
the smaller details of construction Of
rolling stock, such as wheels, axles, ETC.,
there has been added a more extensive
application to the need of everyday life
by the building of a hotel constructed of
this material. This novel residence,
which has just been finished and is stu
ated in Hamburg, has been made en-
tirely of paper boards, which, it is said,
are of the hardness of wood, but possess
an advantage over the latter material in
that they are freproof, this desirable end
being effected by impregnation with GER

about two miles west of the village of

to be the remains of the ancient black

WHY He Studied Law,

track, about half mile from one of these

He was the fortunate owner OF an old

temptation and downfall. There was a
good wagon road running parallel with the
track all the way.

A Res,mentsi Tiger Cub.

In the hot season of 1869 two officers OF
the Fifth Lancers-Captains Chaffy and
Thackwell-while on ashooting expedition
in the Teral encountered a fine ti2ress
with cubs. They killed the tigress, but
not until she had severely lacerated Cap
tain Thackwells arm-so severely, indeed,
as to render amputation necessary, the op-
Grafton, unhappily, resulting in the death
of the unfortunate officer. The two cubs
were captured and taken to Lucknow,
where they used to play about the Fifth
Lancers' mess. One, however, choked
himself with lump of raw meat which he
had purloned. The surviving cub was
presented by Captain Chaffy to the Madras
Fusiliers, who gave him the name Of
"Plassey," ard constituted him the regi-
mental pet.
Plassey became very tame and was on
most friendly terms with the men. He
lived at the officers mess, and when al
lowed to be at large be amused himself by
stalking small donkey, which was wont
to wander about the mess compound. He
was also introduced to an antelope and q
dog, with whom he lived amicably while
the regiment remained in India. Plassey
accompanied the One Hundred and Second
W OelHB RIdnOSu q lAOS pdtSSdSsc
By the captains of her majesty's ships
Jumna and Hemelayo. Two young leopards
and his canine ally were his fellow pas
sengers.
Plassey landed with the regiment at
Dover, where suitable quarters were pro-
vided for him in the main tosse of the cita-
del, beneath the officers mess. There
Plassey lived happy life with his friend
the dog, his personal attendant" being
the adjutants groom, who fed and looked
after him. At meal time Plassey always
allowed the dog to have the first Ego in"
but when he thought his canine companion
had taken fair share he would give him a
gentle pat with his paw as reminder.
When Plassey was nearly full grown
and in the zenith of his popularity with
the Fusiliers an old lady resident of Dover
wrote to the general commanding the dis
trict and stated that she had "seen Plassey
disembark," and that ever since she had
remained a prisoner in her house, fearing
to go out lest Plassey should have escaped
and be roaming about the townl So fire.
