run there and back, a distance of fifty

Big Prices for Old Toys.

Old toys so very seldom survive the
rough work which their possessors give
them that if by any chance they do
weather the storm they become extremely
valuable. A collection of old playthings,
many of which belonged to royal chill
dren, has just been sold at the Hotel
Drouot, and some of the articles fetched
prices which even their artistic merit
and their strange survival of the vicissi-
tudes would hardly have seemed to
merit. For instance, a little doll, rather
less than foot high, but clad in pam
oply Of steel, earned at all points ex-
actly cap-a-pie," but perfectly modelled,
and made at the time when Louis XIII
sat on the throne of France, sold for 615
francs; and even this price was eclipsed
by that given for tiny set of carriages
carved in wood and accompanied by
little wooden soldiers, made not consule
plauco, but when Napoleon was first
consul, which brought in neary 1000
francs. A miniature kitchen, interest
ing as being an exact model of that USE
full houshold apartment, tempo Louis
XVI, and little jointed doll, sixteen
inches high, dressed in broche silk
Vatican dress, fetched $40 francs and
10 francs respectively. Many other
toys belonging to bygone epochs sold at
almost fancy prices.-Galignani Mes

In Paris there is cat whose future
welfare has become quite question of
public interest. The animal belonged
to Nine. Dubrai, and his mistress was
SO fond of him that she left a sum of
money in trust to the mayor of the
third arrondisement, in which she re-
sided, for the use of the scholastic fund
(Caisse des Ecoles) on condition that
certain amount shall go toward pussy's
maintenance. A trusty person is to be
nominated by the mayor, who will under
take to house the lucky cat and give
him three meals a day, consisting of
such delicacies as lights, liver and
heart. 1t is estimated that after this
charge has been met there will only be
about 200 francs year left for the fund,
and the question now agitating public
functionaries is whether that sum is
worth the responsibility to be incurred.

An old trapper has been bringing from
the mountains for two weeks number
of peculiar little animals that have puz-
zled good many people to tell what
they We're. They are about the size of
common cat and have large bushy
tails like that of the raccoon. Their
bodies are long and slender and well
protected with thick growth of brown
ish colored hair. Their eyes are black
and swapping and when teased they
growl and spit like a cat, showing a row
of teeth as sharp as cambria needles.
The name of these little animals is the
Bassiris, and they are species of the
civit cat, ranking between the fox and
the weasel. They are better than all the
pussies in creation as rat exterminators,
and about twenty of them have been
turned loose In different warehouses and
livery stables in this city.-San Francis

EhBtbh Anu american Lhhu oWnerss
There is a constant feud between the
suburban residents and the Sunday ext
cursionists. The suburban resident goes
to New York in the morning and goes
back in the afternoon, except on Sun
day, when he stays at home. 1t would
suit him if the Sunday train service
were almost entirely stopped, except one
morning train out into the country and
one evening train back to let his per-
sonal friends go out and spend the day
with him. The Sunday excursionist
represents to him concentration of the
destructive forces of mankind, so he
goes to Tuxedo or Wave Crest or some
reservation where excursionists are not
permitted to go, and when he gets
rich enough he builds place in the
midst of grounds wide enough to hide
him from the road, and puts out watch
men to prevent people he does not want
from coming in and tramping on the
grass.
This is more an American than an
English feeling. In England almost all
of the show country places are open to
visitors under restrictions which are
generally observed. 1t would be re-
garded as an improper and unsocial
thing for an Englishman with a fine
country place to drive people off the
grounds. Instead of that he welcomes
visitors and provides guides to take
them around and look after them.-New

International Boat Racing.

1t is possible that there will be an in
terDational rowing match arranged be-
fore the close of the rowing season of
1892. For some time past an informal
correspondence has been carried ON be-
tween the president of the Oxford Uni
versity Boatclub and the rowing men
of both Harvard and Yale colleges in
the United States. The medium of
communicating was Mr.. Chase Mellin,
an old Brasenose oar, who is at present
residing in the states. The idea was to
bring Oxford against the winners of the
Harvard Yale match. Harvard has al
ways expressed a willingness to ratify
an international match if such thing
was possible, and the only bitches likely
to occur were the locale and the time.
In an interview with R. G. Lehman, the
coach of the Oxford crew, that gentle
man says:
1.-THE Oxford University Boatclub is
very anxious to arrange a match with
the winner of the Yale-Harvard match
this year. Informal communications
have, 1 believe, come from the other
side of the Atlantic, and have been an
swered by MIR. Fletcher, who is now
president of the o. U. B. c."
MIR. Lehman thought that a race
might be arranged on the river Thames,
between Putney and Mortlake, in the
month of September, and that Mr..
Fletcher and his companions expect to
get a favorable reply is an open secret

the intention of the Americans to invite

rowers to Chicago next season to take

the Harvard Yale race will meet the
English rowers on the river Thames this
year, and then ask for return contest
next year at Chicago.-London Sporting

Queer Antics of Clouds.

Tuesday afternoon, during the rain
and hailstorm, cloud was observed a
few miles south of this place that acted
very strangely, to say the least. 1t was
quite near the ground and seemed to be
violently agitated. Suddenly the cloud
seemed to burst asunder, one part going
to the northwest and only forty or fifty
feet from the earth. One of the sections
passed over or through the tops of some
tall poplar trees and shaved them off as
if gigantic moving machine had
passed that way. A heavy hailstorm
also passed over narrow strip of coun-
try near there, and at Sand Slough there
were piles of them still remaining in
spots late Wednesday morning. Very
little hail fell here, and it was so small
as to be scarcely noticeable. le.-Lemoore

Hydrophobia and the Dog Catchers

A great deal Of rot about hydrophobia
is being printed in the newspapers just
now. 1t is done, we suppose, in order
not so much to scare people into having
their pet dogs licensed and muzzled as
to give the dog catchers the sort of
moral support they certainly need in the
pursuit of their infamous business. So
yarns about mad dogs and their depre-
dations are invented and published, a
great many sensitive people are terror
lied and the dog catcher drives profit
able trade. There is no truth in these
blood curdling tales. There has not
been case of hydrophobia in Chicago
this year, and it is a question whether
there actually ever has been any.-Chi-

A Church Shed for BicycIes.

The Center church committee is going
to set aside one of the horse sheds as a
bicycle shed. Not few persons who
attend the Sunday and week night meet
ings ride to and from the church on
bicycles. Now they have to leave their
bicycles outside, where the small boys
tamper with them and where, in case of
sudden shower, the machines would
be injured. The shed will be inclosed
and conveniently arranged for the stor-
age of bicycles. So far as we can learn
the Center church is the first in the
country to provide a bicycle shed.-

Worth Twenty Thousand Dollars to Him

Worth Twenty Thousand Dollars to Him.
l. N. Locke, of Wayne county, Ind,
was formerly an active trader. In May,
1872, he was in Chicago and bought a
lot for small sum. He put the deed in
an envelope and placed it in his pocket
with other papers. A few days after
ward he lost the envelope and all its
contents. He advertised for it, but real
ly cared only for the notes, thinking the
lot of little value. John Ritchey, vic
tim of softening of the brain, was wan
dering aimlessly on the street the day
Locke lost his papers. He found them
and laid them away, and even after his
death no notice was taken of the sup
posed worthless papers. A short time
ago John Ritchey found the package
and gave it to Mr.. Locke, and through
his attorney his claim has been estab-
lished. Had the deed remained con-
cealed few days longer the twenty
years would have expired and no claim
allowable. 1t is a lot in the boulevard
addition, and the parties occupying it
have given Mr.. Locke 900 for a quit
claim. Chicago Letter.
