An Eccentric Nobleman.

An eccentric nobleman died last
month in St. Petersburg leaving a for
tune OF 1000 900 roublcs, beside his
large patrimonial estates. He occu-
pied very large old house, but lived
only in one room. All the other rooms
lie kept locked and sealed These
were found filed with antique furni-
ture, china, bronze, and silver ware,
which he had inherited from his noble
ancestors and buried beneath heaps OF
dust and cobwebs He lived on the
cheapest kind OF bread with tea,
which he bought himself In the win
ter he sat in his room dressed in Il
heavy fur coat, with thick felt boots
on his feet in order TO save wood and
coal He was sometimes for months
without q servant to do the rough
homework for him: When he had Il
servant he made him sleep on the
floor in the same room with himself.
His great fortune is claimed by sis
ter, an old maid, who is as eccentric
as he was.

What a Pound of Coal Represents

A curious and interesting calcun-
ton has been made by Professor
Rogers, Of Washington, on the dyn.
annie power OF coal. According to the
professor, single pound OF good
stenm coal has within it dynamic
power equivalent to the work OF one
man for one dny. Three tons Of the
same coal represent mans labor for
the period OF 20 years, and one square
mile OF n seam Of coal, having n depth
Of four feet only, represents as much
work as one million men can perform
in 20 years. Such calculations as the
above serve to remind MS how very
wasteful our methods Of burning fuel
are, in spite Of the efforts Of inventors
~ the direction OF economy.

Suppose a man should refuse to go to Jail
with tie sheriff because he had red hair?
When q man adopts the calling OF law
breaker and the business of bulldog he

in crime; no "coior line" in brutality; no
''color line" in self-degradation. There is
no ''coior line" among pirates; no "colcr
line" in the dog pit; there can logically be
no "color line" among prizefghters: no
"color line" in the prize ring. Whether
the name be Sullivan or Corbett, prize
fighting smells just the same; prize
fighter is a non-productive brute and
lawless enemy of social order and humane
manners, who is willing for money prize
to match himself like bulldog against
fellow man with whom he has no quarrel.
A man willing, for a money prize, to sell
his body for such a contest is either
coarse. stupid, ferocious brute. like Sulli-
van, or he is something far worse than
Sullivan, q man born and bred to better
things; man fit for better things, like
Corbett.
