The Gar and the arihe.

A curious story has just leaked out
concerning what seems suspiciously
like an attempt to bride the Russian
Minister OF the Interior. The we'll
known Jewish, banker, Baron Ginz-
burg, waited the other day upon the
minister in question, writes the. st.
Petersburg correspondent Of an En-
glish provincial press syndicate, and,
so runs the story, said to him, speak
ing in the name Of the Jewish COM
munity:
I'VE know it does not depend ex-
cksively upon you to solve in the
sense we desire the Jewish question
now preoccupying so seriously the Rus
sian government, but we are aware
that you have it in your power If you
choose to postpone its final settlement.
Well, that Is what we now ask of you,
and in the event Of your succeeding
we shall prove to you our gratitude. I"
With these words he handed to.M.
Dovinovo, the head Of the State De-
partment, an envelope containing a
check for 1000, 900 rubies, payable to
the order Of Ivan Nicolaevitch Dovi-
novo, and Endorsed by the banking
house of Mendelssohn & Co., Berlin.
The Minister said nothing to Baron
Ginzburg, but on his departure tele-
graphed the Car, asking for an imme-
date audience, which was granted.
The Minister repeated to the Gar the
words the Baron had addressed TO him,
and handed the check to his majesty.
BY order of the Car, Baron Ginzburg
wasSmmediately arrested and an aid
de-camp was sent to interrogate him
and investigate the whole matter.
The banker admitted the accuracy
of the Minister'S recital and acknowl-
edged the words attributed to him,
but with regard to the check he de-
clared that 1t was an ordinary bank
ing transaction, as the books of his
house would prove. This turned out
to be really the case. An examina-
tion of the books showed that the
checkShad been entered in the usual
manner as an order from Berliu.
Baron Ginzberg refused to offer any
further explanation Of his mysterious
interview. The Car, who was in
formed by telegraph and telephoned
Of the result Of the inquiry, ordered
the immediate release Of the banker.
A new question next presented itself,
however-what was to be done with
the check, which Baron Ginzburg
positively refused TO take back. 1t is
said that his majesty decided the
matter by ordering that half the
amount, 100000 rubles, should be
given to the Cross Society and that
the other half should be devoted to
the relief of the peasantry In the dis
tressed provinces.

wheel was at top speed, and the
curved knives clattered in the iron
bowl of the machine with the noise
Of quartz mill in full blast.
When their work was done, the
dogs were only Under good Roadway,
and not until the wheel was checked
by a rude brake did they desist.
Their zeal and eagerness appear the
more remarkable when it was OBJ
served that they received no choice
morsel or meat or anything else in
the way of inducement or reward.
AS soon as they were let out Of the
wheel they tumbled each other about
bit and rushed back to their quar-
tiers. =. - --
The course of training for this
work, as the originator of the scheme
described it, is simple in the extreme.
Years ago an intelligent Newfound-
land was induced, by the exercise of
patience and gentleness, to go into
the wheel and run it. This done, the
rest was easy. Another dog was put
in with him, and the one appearing
the more ambitious was praised and
petted. Since then there has not
been the slightest difficulty in teach
ing dogs to turn the wheel. The two
in use at present are called Jack and
Bismarck The former is a thick
bodied, short-legged, powerful animal,
coal black Of coat and with vicious
looking jaw and eye. He weighs
about eighty pounds. The other is a
large, full-bred English setter, as we'll
looking as he Is intelligent.

what Can Ne Done BY Ingenious Amateul
Photographers.
Amateur photography has brought
the magic lantern into prominence,
as the making OF slides has been much
facilitated by the improvements In
dry plates.
Anybody can make one at home at
little expense that will answer for
all ordinary purposes, says the New
York Herald.
The lantern to be described is showp
In Fig. /, the side being removed.
The body is made OF ordinary white
wood, with sheet~iron top, and an
ordinary kerosene lamp is used. The
only thing necessary Tor the amateur
photographer to purchase will be a
pair of condensing lenses, as the lens
from the camera will do for a project
ing lens. Condensers are very reason
able in price, and a pair Of very good
four-inch lenses can be obtained for
from 81 to s5, unmounted. They can
be mounted at home as follows:
Place the convex sides Of the lenses
nearly together, allowing only small
space, say one-eighth of an inch, be-
tween them, and measure the dis
lance between the edges of them.
Then have the 'tinsmith cut strip of
tin long enough to encircle them, and
about half an inch wider than the
distance measured. Then make a
couple Of grooves along the edges of
these strips for the edge Of the lenses
to fit into.
These grooves can be made by rum
ming the tin through the tinsmith's
beading machine. Set the condens-
ers in the grooves, wrap the tin
tightly around them and wind a piece
OF wire around the outside to hold
the tin in place.
Figure is a cross section OF the
condensers as they appear when
mounted. Before the body of the
lantern is made the lamp to be used
should be selected. In the illustra-
tion Gig. ~ an ordinary house lamp
is shown. Take a piece Of board
about foot wide and stand it up in
front Of the lamp and cut it off about
three inches longer than the height
Of the lamp and chimney. Mark a
spot on the board opposite where the
flame of the lamp comes and make
this spot the center OF hole large
enough to hold the coHdensers in
their box. Make side pieces Of the
same length and about the same
width as the front and nail them to

more remarkable fact when you con-
slider that the Porcupine extends
many miles above the Arctic circle.
There were also salmon berries, blue
berries, currants and raspberries In
pr0fusion and hundreds Of acres OF
cranberries. OF the latter fruit the
Indians store large quantities for
winter food.
"When the work of tracing and es-
tablishing the boundary was COM
pleted the party set up monument
OF rough stones, about twelve feet
high, as visible mark OF the divid-
ing line between American and Brit
ish possessions. or course there Is a
check on this in the shape OF Sc
curely concealed stone, properly
marked, at the head OF the base line,
near the main station. When we
were about to break camp 1t occurred
to me that no photograph Of the
monument had been taken, so took
a camera up and sighted 1t and then
climbed to the top of the rocks and
had curious native shoot the ma

There's somewhere In the trackless sea
A lonely spot unmarked. but holy.
Where. fathoms deep beneath the tide.
MY sailor boy In peace lies lowly.
Tathoms down. meath the dancing wave
That once In triumph proudly bore him.
He sleeps his long and dreamless sloep.
With the restless ocean moaning DER him.
He sleeps unmoved, serene. and safe
From the howlIngaplast and angry billow,
Where storms may bud above him chafe,
Yet scarcely rock his quiet pillow.
In life the ocean was1his homo;
Fen death could not the old tic sever;
'Twa, his In life, tits his in death,
Twill be my darling's home forever
why should longer weep and WALTZ
A glorious tomb the Fates have found
him;
The broad blue sky above him spread.
The boundless ocean all around him.
No impious foot may touch his or ave;
No vandal hand may dare TO move him;
But gallant hearts may proudly sail,
And gallant voices shout above him.
And though no stone may tell his namc.
No centotaph his deeds emblazon.
No lofty choir his praises sing
In music's grandest diapason,
His memory shall be glorIfed
In hearts that knew. and knowing loved
him:
But most in mine. the mothers heart.
That oft I'm grief and JOY has proved him.
For he was good, and brave. and true.
AS grandest hero famed In story:
Here let his memory be enlbalmed.
He would not ask for greater glory.

Salt is an absolute essential to the
diet of man, says physician in the
Boston Herald. 1t promotes, health in
various ways. Many of the functions
of the body go on better under its in
thence, and without it the blood be-
comes impoverished. While a com
plete deprivation of salt would
produce disastrous results, an excess
i've use of it would scarcely be less
harmful. In large doses it acts as an
emetic; in quantities beyond the. re-
quirements of health it initiates the
stomach and intestinesand sometimes
purges. Those who use salt unusu-
ally freely almost always suffer more
or less from constipation.
To drink large quantities of water
daily should be the rule with those
who suffer from constipation. Each
day the system needs at least two
quarts OF water, as about that guam
tity OF water is used mp OF thrown out
of IL every twenty-four hours. Fruits
and vegetable food contain much
water, and in tea, coffee, soups, etc,
considerable is taken habitually. In
all ways, as stated, about two quarts
of water should enter the stomach
daily. 1t is good plan to drink one
or two glasses of water from half an
hour to an hour before eating break
fast. And it may be either hot or
cold, as preferred. Whichever is used,
the water should be slowly slipped.
To deluge the stomach with cold
water would be to invite dyspeptic
troubles.

publications there she met and mar
ried e. G.. Squier, at that time editor
in-chief for Mr.. Leslie,. but who was
subsequently, Minister to Peru. and
later TO several Central American
States. For reasons which were new
er made public, Mrs. Leslie separated
from Mr.. Squier and returned to let
erary work. Several years later she
married Mr.. Leslie. The latter's, af-
fairs were in complicated condition
at the time Of his death, but Mrs.
Leslie, who had aided him consider
ably during the last two years of his
life in his business affairs. assumed
charge Of the business and within two
years had it upon a paying basis.
Mrs. Leslie became well known in
London four years ago, owing TO the
unpleasantness which took place near
Hyde Park corner between two of her
devoted admirers, the Marquis de
LeuNlle and the Prince Eschoff. The
contest was terrible while it lasted,
and was written up in Homeric style
by the London press. NJ. Leuville,
who writes bad poetry and spends his
money in having it set to execrable
music, had worshiped Mrs. Leslie for
many years. On seeing her almost
daily in the Row with Eschoff his
manly heart burst the bonds Of con-
ventionality and he smacked Eschof
on the cheek with his glove. Eschoff
replied by shifting the French Mar
quis across the forehead With Mrs.
Leslie's celebrated mother-of-pearl
parasol, breaking il in half.
The titled" gentlemen were COM
PEELED to appear at the police court
the next morning, and in the cold,
clear light Of the court 1t was shown
that the Marquis de Leuyille"' was
not Frenchman, but the son of a
London tailor, and that the alleged
Prince Eschoff was no other than the
celebrated Russian forger who had
spent seven years in Prussian prisons.
Mrs. Leslie was angry over the scan
dial that the encounter between her
suitors gave rise to, and never re-
ceived nor spoke to one or the other
again.
