Cool work by a Burglar.

Cool Work by Burglar.
Talk about cool headed burglars. One
of the gentry who visited the residence
of Mr.. William Hannin outrivals the
daring audacity of Jim Barlow or Claude
Duval
He entered the house while the in
mates were sound asleep, and with the
aid of a match proceeded to Investigate.
1t appears that he would hold lighted
match until it burned his fingers, and
then throwing the still burning remains
on the floor light another.
On returning to room he had quilted
few moments before he saw that the
place was on fire. He ran from the
house, and meeting police officer cool
ly informed him that "a house back
there" was on fire. He hurried to the
place with the officer. The fire was now
burning brightly. In his haste the officer
failed to notice that though the rear
door was open none of the family was
to be seen. They secured pals, the
burglar doing the pumping act, but the
apparatus failed to respond. A large
boiler of water, intended for the next
days washing, stood convenient, and be-
tween them they carried the boiler Of
water into theehouse, where the flames
were soon extinguished. 1t was when
the officer looked around for his gentle
manly associate that he discovered that
he was alone. The family was aroused,
and then it was found that the house
had been ransatked, but little of any
value taken. Toledo Bee.

New YORK, July 28.-A special cable
gram from Kissingen says Herbert Bis
marck, in an interview authorized by
his father, stated that if the kaiser were
not surrounded by persons whose busi-
ness in life it is to keep the kaiser and
prince apart, there would have been a
reconciliation long ago. Count Herbert
spoke in derision of the statement that
his father expected the kaiser to take
the first step toward reconciliation.
"My father has always been prepared
to make any advances in keeping with
his dignity" said Count Herbert. "ln
fact, there is no need to take any In
troductory steps, after the kaiser's tele-
gram congratulating me on my en-,
gagement. Then everything pointed
to settlement OF the difficulties,
but just aiterward followed the greatest
insult father ever received in his life
namely, the social boycott at Vienna,
declared by authority from Berlin.
Count Herbert displayed great feeling
as he spoke of this episode.

Too Realistic.

During recent performance Of "Cap-
tain Lapalisse" at Valencia theater, an
incident occurred which, for lifelike eff
feet, left nothing to be desired. During
the said play some of the actors mingle
with the spectators in order to cooper
ate from the body of the house. No
sooner had Miralles, the actor, taken his
seat in the stalls than daring pick
pocket robbed him of his gold watch.
Miralles seized the man by his coat col
lar and called out in a deep bass voice:
'Policel Helpl Thieves!''
The audience, taking this little cpl
sode to be part of the performance,
roared with laughter; even the police
men joined in, without stirring hand or
foot.
''This is no farce" cried the actor in
tones of despair. "The fellow has got
my watchv
The voice sounded so natural that the
audience broke into loud applause at
"such excellent fooling." Meanwhile
the thief managed to break away from
his captor and discreetly withdrew from
the scene. There was general conster-
nation when the real facts of the case
became known.-Imparcial

Metric System in Pharmacy.

In the new pharmacopeia now in
course of preparation the metric weights
and measures will be adopted through
out, to the entire exclusion Of the Eng
lish weights and measures hitherto used.
1t is considered by many that this is but
the thin edge of the wedge, and that
sooner or later the metric weights and
measures will be adopted for all pur-
poses in the United States.
In all the states Of, South America this
system and none other is in use, and
there is growing feeling that an inter
national system of weights and measures
will do much to simplify and develop
the commercial intercourse of the ma
tions in question as we'll as those who

Yo Tambien has already won $780, 900

lame in his work the other morning,
and he will not race again very soon.
BALDWIN had great hopes of Santiago
ten days ago, as he told me then he
would be willing, after the horse got
perfectly fit, to match him against any
animal in the west. With Santiago out

the hypnotic social" which has been
going about for the past three weeks. A
company of friends is invited and an
amateur hypnotist is brought in, who
proceeds to divert the select audience by
experiments with various persons of the
company. There are three or four of
these amateurs who are picking up a
few dollars through these little exhibi-

that he could make fortune as full

Too Brave to BE Killed.

The first white person who made a
permanent settlement in the county of
Onondaga, N. Y, was Ephraim Web
ster. He traded with the Indians, be-
came familiar with their language and
customs and was for many years Indian
agent and interpreter for the Onondagas
It sometimes happened that the Indians,
on account of fancied or real wrongs,
became offended with him. More than
once they threatened his life.
AT one time the Indians tied him to a
tree and amused themselves by throw
ing tomahawks to see how near they
could come to his head and not hit it.
Sometimes the whistling missile grazed
his hair. The sport was kept up for
more than an hour, during which time
Webster did not finch. His GOODNESS
excited the admiration of his tormen-
tors.-Youth's Companion.

Diamonds at the Fair.


The exhibit of minerals and precious
stones at the Worlds fair in Chicago
will be unusually complete and interest
ing. The diamond department, under
direction of company from South Af
rica, will be more closely studied than
anything else, for here in a mass of
"blue stuff" will be hidden $3.50, 900
worth of diamonds, some of which will
every day be washed out and put on the
polishing wheel in the presence of the
public. The old ways of diamond min
ing, like the old ways of gold washing,
are gone, never to return, and the in
dustry is now reduced to the same mat
ter of fact business as manufacture.
The entire process, from shoveling the
clay to the work of dredging, washing
in rotary machines, sorting pebbles and
cutting and polishing, will be seen daily.
The De Beers and Kimberly mines
will supply most of the material. 1t is
about quarter of century since old
Farmer De Beers sat under a tree watch
ing his little girl roll a pebble on his
lawn. A trader named O'Reilly hap
pened to pass and the glitter of the
plaything attracted his notice. Exam
ination proved it to be fine diamond.
Prospectors came swarming in as soon
as the news had got about, and four
years later the farmer was glad to sell
his farm for 100000 to get rid of the
mob. Up to 1876 $9,000,000 worth Of
gems had been taken out of his farm
but he was probably satisfied, for he be

The People of Mama.

The Mainotes are not especially pre-
possessing in appearance, but there is a
refined look in the women's faces, clean
cut, delicate features, nothing heavy or
obtuse. The men are spare and active,
dark i'll complexion and hair, though
not excessively so; they wear, the beard,
which does not grow very thick; the
nose is prominent, the forehead high
and vertical, the head rather narrow,
the face generally somewhat deeply
modelled, with tendency to hollowness
of the cheek. The few men who still
keep to the national dress wear the bag.
gy blue breeches, gathered in below the
knee, which the Greek islander affects,
rather than the white kilt, universal on

of the country, costume has been gener-

The women wear a broad scarlet stripe
round the skirt, which they take off for
two years as sign of mourning for a
relative. My guide observed sugges-
lively that there were few of these red
stripes in Mama. The condition of the

Instructions That Bore Fruit.


President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania
railroad, is great stickler for discipline.
Some time ago, while on his way to
Harrisburg, the conductor of the train
bowed as he passed without asking to
see his ticket. On coming through the
train again Mr.. Roberts touched his arm
and said:
"Why did you not ask for my ticket?'
Rather abashed, the conductor replied
that he presumed he had his pass.
"Do you know who ! amf' next asked
Mr.. Roberts.
eyes, sir, replied the conductor; you
are the president of the road. y
''Granted that am. It is your duty
to allow nobody to ride over this road
without showing ticket Always bear
that in mind"
The conductor promised to do so in the
future and passed on. After the next
station had been passed he again came
through the train for tickets and, COM
ing to Mr.. Roberts, stopped and de-
manded to see his ticket.
"That's right, my man" said the presi-
dent, putting his hand in his breast
pocket. Then he grew red in the face,
and as he felt in pocket after pocket his
face became redder. He had left his
pass at home. The conductor never
moved muscle of his face, but stood
with outstretched hand waiting for the
ticket. Mr.. Roberts was too proud to
back out, and finally asked in a meek
voice, "How much is the fare to Harris
burg?" On being informed he paid over
the money, which the conductor took
without a smile, giving him rebate
check good for ten cents. President
Roberts continued his ride in silence
