They Are Not Good Investments,

A London paper observes in writing of
a recent sale in 1.-THE English metropolis that
the day of old books as an investment has
been a long time going, but it may now be
regarded as almost if not quite gone. This
fact is very plainly indicated by the prices
paid for books in the Apponyi library. The
first three days sale showed an average of
considerably underline pounds per volume.
Eight years ago., when the System Park
library, formed by Sir John Thorold and
not differing very greatly from the Ap-
ponyi collection, came under the hammer,
the result was the average of fourteen
pounds per volume.
comparison between the prices realized
at the two sales for identical books is also
somewhat startling, considering that only
such a brief period has interviewed. The
Aldini first edition of Aristotle and The
ophrastus" was at the earlier sale appraised
at ifty-one pounds; the Apponyi copy vent
for seventeen pounds. The first edition of
St. Augustine's treatise, de Civitate Del"
printed in the Monastery of Soubiaco, falls
from sixty-six pounds to twenty-five
pounds, and even the famous Ximenez
''Biblia Polyglotta," of which only q very
few copies can ever come again into the
open market, shows a decline in value of
about sixty pounds. In many instances
books which eight years ago sold for
pounds now only realize as many shillings.
A few exceptions, however, occur here and
there. Clearly old books are not a safe in
vestment, and the mar who wants to make
money out of book collecting must put it
into the first editions of Dickens. Thack-
cray and other modern writers.

is interesting enough, but the chief
point in Miss Stephens case is that she

nearly nTUy years ago OF Ine Ineil uil-
known domain Of our great western ter
ritory-an Indian fighter of great re-
nown, a traveller whose face and figure
were at one time we'll known in every
court of all the great powers Of the Old
World, a scholar, bon vivant, wit and
most companionable Of all the agreeable
public men of his Alphabetically be-
took himself to his private apartment in
a snug little hotel in the very heart Of
Washington on May Is, 1890, and has
not since been seen u talked with by,
all told, more than a dozen of his fellow
beings. And, with two or three excep-
tons, those who have seer or talked
with him since that date have been of
those necessary to him in administering
to his personal wants.
There was a bill pending in congress
to retire him as a brigadier general. He
felt that so much as that recognition
was his due at the hands of the country
he had served so faithfully. He had
been a major general in command of the
cavalry corps of the Army of the Poto'
mac; he had fought the first real cavalry
fight of the war at Brandy Station, June
12, 1868, and then and there proved his
superior abilities as a dashing and al
most invincible commander; had met
and thwarted the advance Of the enemy
upon Gettysburg, holding Lees armies
in doubt and allegiance until Meade's in
fantry came up to fight the decisive bat.
tie of the war. and had never been found
wanting when duty and patriotism re-
quired his presence either in camp or in
the field.
The canvasback, the terrapin and all
the dishes he relished so highly in days
of yore have been abandoned, but he has
everything his appetite may crave, and
with good digestion waiting upon it he
eats to live and contentedly remarks
that he no longer lives to eat. In other
matters his habits are regular, for, like
clockwork, he gets all the daily papers,
keeping we'll posted regarding the affairs
of the world of which he is part and
parcel, but which he holds away off at
arms length, and with which he asso-
ciates as little as possible.
No one of the few who see him ever
thinks of asking him a reason for this
most marvellous change in his manner
of living, for they know it would be
useless. In fact he has resented several
inquiries of that kind in such a manner
as to show that they are extremely dis
tasteful to him. General Rosecrans
wrote to him about q year and q half
ago asking about his health and other
questions that any old time friend would
be apt to ask, but he did not answer the
letter for months Washington Star.

The action is unique. The instrument
is similar to a small harpsichord with

set in vibration by points Of quilts ele-

causes the points to pass upward, pro-

Shot NY II Set Gun.

From Ed. Nagel, who came down from
Fort Berthold last Monday was learned
the particulars of a serious accident
which happened near Coal Harbor last
Thursday. One Hoffman,. who has a
ranch near Coal Harbor, while out hunt
ing, happened along a path where a set
gun had been placed for deer. The gun
was discharged, breaking and shatteriug
one leg, two buckshot penetrating the
other. He lay where he fell, unable to
move for upwards of twenty-four hours,
when he was found by Jack Robinson,
who happened to be passing. He was
taken into Coal Harbor, and two doctors
summoned. 1t is thought the shattered
limb will have to be amputated, and
whether or not the wounded man will
live is a matter of question.

Several peers have names nearly alike.
There are Lord Amherst of Hackney,
and Earl Amherst. There are two peers
with only the difference of a letter in
the spelling of their names-the Earl of
Lindsay and the Earl of Lindsey, the
former being a Scotch representative
peer and the latter an English peer.
There is only the difference of a letter
also in the names of Viscount Middleton
and Lord Middleton, but there is a diff
ference in rank which makes the dis
tinction easy.
There are several instances in which
the territorial title is necessary to distin-
guish peers, the more notable being Lord
Stanley of Alderley and Lord Stanley of
Preston, and Lord Howard de Walden
and Howard of Glossop. Formerly Lord
Willoughby de Broke and Lord Will
loughby de Eresby sat in the house, but
the latter has been made an earl, and
will henceforth be known as the Earl Of
Ancaster.-London Tit-Bits.
