-Disraeli, it is related in new book
of "reminiscences, was addressing a
noisy meeting in the town hall of Ayles-
bury on one occasion, In the gallery
sat his wife, who laughed heartily at
the gibcs and questions which were
hurled against the orator. But when,
during some salies of more offensive
character, a lady who accompanied her
appeared distressed, Mrs. Disraeli re-
marked; so, it is nothing; he doesn't
care: he's match for them all"
When her majesty, the empress OF
Japan, drives no one is permitted to look
at her from the windows or chinks in
the doors or any part of the house, but
must sit down by the side of the street
through which she passes. Each per-
son, must doff hat or cap as she passes,
except the women in European dress,
whose heads may remain covered No
one may speak or follow the carriage,
and no noise of any kind is allowed in
the street through which she passes.
Mrs. Bonanza Macllay speaks
French and Spanish to perfection, and
not only converses fluently in both
these languages, but writes them like
native. She is finished musician,
and only an invincible timidity has pre-.
vented her from taking a high rank
among society vocalists. But only her
own family and her intimate friends
have ever been permitted to hear her
sing. She was considered by Nine
Marchosi few years ago as the best
of her amateur pupils.

Here is curious bit of something
closely studded with tiny anchors. AS
anchors are mainly useful in water, of
what value can these miniature ones
be? We are looking at bit Of the skin
of the sea-cucumber (Synapta girardiD.
In shape this animal is more like a
worm than like anything else, and it
moves from place to place by means of
suckers. When it wishes to remain
quiet, the anchors, which have been
closed over perforated, challly plates,
are extended outward from the body,
and fasten the little creature securely
to the sand or mud The sea-cucumbers
found on our coasts are small. seldom
over four inches in length. though
larger kinds abound in the Bay IF Fun
dy, and upon the mud-fats If Florida.
The Chinese call larger species tire
pang," and when dried and preserved
in particular way it is considered a
great delicacy When | look at this
slide wonder if man first got his idea
of an anchor from this little creature.
Yet anchors were in use long before
microscopes, and the little anchors are
much too small to be seen by the un-
aided eye-St. Nicholas.

but unfortunately a dark cloud arose
on their matrimonial horizon. They
quarrelled violently. 1t was like the
explosion of bombshell. The bomb
was rival for the hand of Fanny lie
was a military gentleman, being an ar
tillery soldier, whose acquaintance
Fanny had made at ball. Ills marked
attentions to Fritz's prospective bride
were so cordially reciprocated that
Fritz became the victim of the green
eyed monster" BY the way, the scene
of this little drama is laid in the impcr-
ial city of Vienna in Austria.
Being of Respondent nature, Fritz
resolved to commit suicide. by this
means he thought he would be relieved
of all his troubles, and at the same
time faithless Fanny would be over
whelmed with remorsc. Before per-
forming the rash act, he mailed her
the following letter:
"DEAR FANNY:-Yes, faithess creature you
have Tilted me, ana 1 am going to hang myself
unless / change my mind and commit suicide
in the Danube. When you read these lines
will be corpse. May you live to regret your
conduct. Your true friend FRITZ"
The next thing for Fritz to do was to
carry out his rash purpose. He strolled
along the principal street in the direc-
ton of the beautiful "Blue Danube. y
The houses and people looked as usual,
and nobody paid any attention to him,
"Ah!" he said to himself, 'if you peo-
pie only knew what l know, how you
would stare at mel"
At last he reached the bank of the
river. He dipped his finger into the
water and found it quite cold. He
shivcred, and soliloquized: ITS toe
cold, altogether. expect | had better
try hanging. Besides, it occurs to me
that can swim"
Sitting in a dangerous position on the
end of the pier was a boy fishing
Fritz called out to him: You stupid
boy, don't you know the fish won't
bite there where the steamboats, are
always passing? Hey, thereG'
The startled boy turned his head
lost his balance, and with loud cry
fell into the water. In an instant

Fritz had divested himself of his coat
and boots, plunged into the water and
rescued the boy, just as he was going
down for the last tille. An excited
crowd gathered around the unconscious
boy and his heroic rescuer. Various
suggestions were made to Tesuscitate
the hapless youth.
"Stand him on his head so the water
can run out, was the advice of truck

That's the way to have all the blood

Officer De Harven Arrests an Al
legged Confidence Worker.

Officer De Harven yesterday arrested an in
dividual who is believed 10 have been work
ing confidence game quite extensively of
late. The man arrested is Jacob Levy, one
of the Levy Bros, whose pawnshop is at the
corner of First avenue south and First street.
The man who was victimized was Axei Mel
son. Levy has partner named M. j. Will
ard. They work together i'll the usual way.
Willard has not yet been caught, but he will
probably be rounded up to-day.
Nelson was lettering down near the Mil
waukee depot yesterday when he was ap-
preached by Levy The latter had tear in
his eye and a doleful tale at the tip of his
tongue. His story was to the effect that his
mother lay dead in Duluth His heart was
wrung with anguish, and the only consola-
ton remaining to him was to go home and
bury her. He had lost his ticket to Duluth.
He had no money, no friends from whom to
borrow. Ali his earthly treasure was stored
up in gold watch, which he claim ed was
worth $50. Nelson had a silver watch. and
Levy offered to trade his gold time piece for
the silver watch and Sis in cash. Nelson
wouldn't bite. At this point Willard stepped
stepped UP and offered Levy S25 cash for the
gold watch. Levy refused because, he said
he would then be without a time apiece. Mel
son, encouraged by the offer of S25. paid over
the SIS and the silver watch. OF course the
gold watch was no gold watch and was abso-
lutely worthless. De Harven happened
along just then and Levy was arrested.
That is the story which The officers tell, and
they will endeavor to prove the truth of it
to-day. They have been watching Levy for
some time and claim 10 have several other
cases against him. Levy pleaded not guilty
to the charge of conspiracy to defraud when
arraigned, and furnished bail to the amount
of 500 for his appearance this afternoon.

The feature Of the afternoon session was
paper on Forestry read by Secretary
Green, in the absence of the author. The
paper was certainly thorough and exhaustive
on many points. The author stated that for
estry had been talked of Tor fully twenty
years and that the slow progress made was
due to tn fIct:ths tits friends were not aware
of whas is meant by its reform, and were
thus unable to influence in its favor
The lumbermen had been led to believe for
est preserl ion was inimical to their trade
the owners Of woodlands were kept in fear
that unreasonable control Of his property
might be asked, and the planter on the tree
less plains expected too much. The meth
DDS and practices of the nurserymen or the
orchardists were believed to satisfy the. Tor
ester. In Minnesota the management OF nat
nral forests and the creation of artificial
forests claim equal attention. He thought
lnasmuch rs there was all area or ABOUT
81, 100000 acres OF virgin forest which yields d
yearly resource of S2l000000, employing
10000 men, that every citizen must be con
cerned in its rational use. So far as he knew
no hing had been done to protect IL against
useless and reckless devastation by fire, or to
so utilize 1t that 1t may recuperate itself with
desirable growth. lie thought walls OF for
ests should be substituted for single rows OF
trees. In planting all should realize that
they are planting many trees, not single
tree. In closing he said:
Il want to call your attention to the i'm
proper clearing of lands for agricultural use;
cold, thin, stony and rocky sites amid decliv-
tiles are devoted to farming, yielding only
precarious living to the winter planter,
which should never have been used for any
thing but tree growth. The relations of soils
to proper uses is problem which you should
help to solve and one i'll which forestry is in
volved.'
