Her Deposit Was Accepted.

A few weeks ago, says the Chi
cago Mail, a middle-aged woman
carrying a small satchel entered
down town bank and said to a teller
that she would like to make deposit.
''We can't open an account with you,"
said the young man behind the window,
unless you make some arrangement
with the cashier personally. lean give
you certificate of deposit however. :"
Every well" quietly remarked the Wis
itor, II don't want to be bothered to
carry this about town and the certificate
will do very well until can find some
institution that will open an account
with me-" The expectant young man
opened his certificate blank book and
dipped his pen in the ink well before
him. The satchel was opened, and from
it came-not a black purse, or few
dollars tied into knot in a handker-
chief corner-but United States bonds
the face value of which aggregated
more than $24S,O0O. The certificate was
not filed out. An account was opened

DOGS DETERIORATING.

voluptuous Ease Is Spelling the Canine
Race.
While the grander sort of dog has
been morally degraded by being turned
into a useless lackey the breeds that
have happened to suit the capricious
and Grant fancies of animal PETERS
have undergone still deeper deteriora-
ton, says the Cornhill Magazine The
sleek pug, for instance, on whom is
often tavished such wealth of feminine
fondness, has long since become per-
fectly aware of his new function in the
house. He knows he is the first pet
and he is perfectly happy in the fact.
His mind seems untroubled by any rec
election of higher estate. He has
lost the ancient desire of the species to
be mans loyal servant. He may, per-
haps, if you happen to call at the house
and find him in exclusive possession of
the drawing-room, make a pretense of
resisting your intrusion. But his Syb-
aritic habits are too much for him and
presently he sinks in voluptuous slum-
bers on the softest of sofa-cushions.
These spoiled creatures learn to take
the fondlings bestowed upon them as
matter of course. They are wholly un-
and perhaps the most
f1attering thing that can be said of them
is that, unlike their rival, the cat, they

Her Tribute.

Over in the Evergreen cemetery on a
recent bright Sunday the doings of a
woman at one of the graves attracted
the attention of chance visitor. When
the woman had finally gone away the
visitor sought the spot to discover the
cause of several patches of bright color
that were visible there, says the New
York Tribune. A leafess bush grew at
the head of a little grave. Upon this,
hanging from every spare stem, were
paper roses, red, blue and green. On
the grave wreath of the same was
laid, and in a cheap vase set in the
earth near one end of the mound was
bunch of more paper blossoms, pink
and purple, and of fashion akin to no
known botanical specimen. The effect
was grotesque and withal pathetic.
The woman, probably bereaved
mother, looked to be German, neat
and thrifty in appearance. This riot of
color and unstable decoration had
doubtless been loving effort with her,
and, whatever the absurd result, the
spirit which animated the offering was
as delicate and beautiful as if it's out
ward token were the choicest blooms of
conservatories

South American hotels.

The visitors first experience of the
hotels in Buenos Ayres is his first disap-
pointment. With the exception of the
Grand hotel, which would rank with
third and even fourth class houses in
Europe, all the thirty or forty hotels of
Buenos Ayres occupy inadequate build
ings and they are badly furnished, bad
ly managed and altogether wretched,
dirty and comfortless. Nevertheless,
the proprietors make good profits.
They charge from $3.50 to $12 gold
day for each person and their houses

A POWERFUL CURRENT.
The Greatest Voltage and the Longest
Line In the World.


The Greatest Voltage and the Longest
Line In the World.
Mention was made some weeks ago
of a line intended to carry electricity at
twenty-five Thousand volts from Lauffen
to Frankfort, distance of over one
hundred miles. The experiment has
been watched with interest by cleo
tricians on both sides of the ocean, says
the Philadelphia Record, since there
are not wanting those who claim that
the thing cannot be done. The pre-
hminary experiments made over line
of three miles in length were, it is said,
entirely successful. A current of
thirty-three Thousand volts was devel-
oped for the purpose of seeing how
great the tendency would be for the
current to leave the wire for the
ground. To discover this the wire was
cut and the pieces then slowly brought
together, and it was not until the ends
were within less than an inch of each
other that a spark was forced across
the intervening space. An ordinary
safety cut-out, consisting of a ball of
lead, was then placed in the circuit and
a wire was dropped across the current
to initiate the falling of tree or the
of another wire, when the
lead ball instantly melted with flash
and an explosion, cutting off the cur
rent. From the results of the prelim-
mary experiments the projectors of the
new line feel confident of its success.
