PERSONA.

Mark Twain smokes three hundred
cigars a month. When Mark was a
pilot on the Mississippi, not so many
years ago, listening 10 the leadsman's
dolorous cry OF mark twain for low
water, few clippings of plug tobacco
stuffed IN a corncob pipe used to console
him nightly.
The Norwegian National Assembly
has granted Or. Fridtjof Nansen $55 900
towards his Polar expedition, and b
Norwegians, in their private capacity one
otthom being the king himself have riven
the intrepid e-wanderor $4,000 more.

pe prepared at once to move out and
camp on an ice foe.
Henry Collins, negro, who IS 105
years old, says an exchange, applied for
assistance under the pauper act in the
county court at Nashville, the other day.
Henry says that his uncle, Of the same
name, lived to be 100 years old. A
grandfather was 1876 years old when he
died, and grandmother 11s. The old
man smokes and drinks and eats
heartily.
Thc late James Parton used TO tell
how, early in his career, he was itemiz-
lng Tor a weekly paper; and he noticed
that large share Of the news was de-
voted to exposing human frailties.
lhereupon he resolved to make a reform
in journalism. lie began to collect mat
tel ior a new feature in his paper
"Good Deeds Done I.ately.n During
the first weel, he picked up only few
paragraphs for it, but no wrote a -four
ishlhg Introduction, and gave good
earnest OF the future. But the next
week the stock was still smaller. Nobody
rescued anybody else from watcry
grave; no legacy was left 10 Harvard by
u rich deceased Bostonlan; and nobodv
lost Il wallet and rewarded the rara-
muffin who picked il up; and so the new

but with such temperament as his and
with his regular habits, he may survive

LONDON, Oct ga private telegram
dated Hiogo, received in this city to-
night, confirms the report conveyed in
former kilograms that disastrous
earthquake shock has occurred in Japan.
This telegram says that severe shock
was experienced at Osaka, and that the
destruction both of life and property
was very great. So severe was the
shock that number of houses were
thrown to the ground and many of the
occupants were caught in the falling
buildings and crushed to death. A
large number of persons succeeded in
escaping from lettering homes only to
meet death In the streets to which they
had fled for safety from the falling
debris.
There is no means at present of esti-
mating the total loss Of life; in fact, the
details of the catastrophe arc very
meagre, as all the telegraph wires in the
districts affected were broken by the
falling of the poles, which were thrown
down by the seismic disturbance.
The above mentioned private dis
patch, however, states that it is known
that in Osaka alone the death list con-
tains the names of 800 OF the residents
of that city.

Emphatic Criticism on I,eauty.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 30.-A Mel
bourne letter says: "The Beauty show
in the Olympia Theatre was completely
wrecked by an enraged mob. An inn
mense crowd was present on the open
ing night, and the style of beauty on
exhibition not being up to the expecta-
tons of the spectators they wrecked the
place. The police were powerless to
prevent the general wreckage that was
carried on, and two of the employees had
narrow escapes from being seriously
injured in the melee. Treasurer Isaacs
was mobhed in his office. He would
have been badly hurt but for the timely
Interference of the police.n

DIsease-Proof Peach Trees.

A writer in Meehan's Monthly saws
Over two hundred years ago the
Spaniards introduced the peach tree
into Texas, and seedlings were raised
from these continuously until race has
been produced which appears to be en-
tirely free from all. diseases which seem
to be connected with trees raised in
other sections. Seedlings from these old
Spanish peaches raise plants which, side
by side with the others, last a number
OF year, free from all disease, while
those introduced from the north are
short-lived and soon disappear. There
is no doubt, from these facts, that whole
races may become enervated from some
popularity in the method of cultivation,
or from conditions of climate.

FIERCE PRAIRIE FfRR.
Tho Chicago Police and Fire Depar
ments Have q Hard Struggle to Owe

ments Have q Hard Struggle to over
come it.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3i.--The police and fire
department at Grand Crossing waged a
desperate hand to hand fight with prairie
fire for six hours yesterday at Ninety
second street, east of the Illinois Central
track, and on Drexel avenue, between Sev-
enty-seventh and Seventy-eighth streets.
The cause of the fires at Ninety-second
street was spark from passenger engine.
Dry grass furnished the material.
Dense columns of smoke filled with fiy-
ing sparks and burning pieces of turf
caused much trouble and It was with the
greatest difficulty that the firemen and
police could accomplish anything. For a
time it looked as If the citizens in that
neighborhood would be compelled to
abandon their houses.
All the available men and boys together
with hundrsd or more railroaders as
sisted and il was only by the combined
efforts of these and the department that
the fire was kept from destroying the en-
tire Calumet regions. Several hundred
feet OF sidewalk and fences were DESTROYED
before the flames were checked.
The fire on the west of Drexel avenue
near Sevcnty-seventh street was caused by
small Toys with matches. Several acres OF
prairies were burned bare and 800 feet of
sidewalk DESTROYED,
