The Worlds Fair and keystone clubs

railroad men. and while every one OF
them is an expert at catching tourists
and punching three-foot tickets, hitherto
nothing has been heard OF their ability
to catch or punch baseball. 1t may
be surmised therefore that the contest
will be interesting II not appalling.
1t all grew out OF the association OF
Georg, A. Kunkel with theatrical base-
ball cranks Mr.. Kunkel Is connected
with the Pennsylvania ticket office at
1885 Broadway. and in an evil moment
he boasted OF the baseballic abilities OF
his associates at the Company's office
in the Astor House. This riled the
downtown Pennsylvania people, and the
result was a challenge to play a match
game for the championship. which Mr..
kunkel was forced to accept.

The Side Saddle.

The Mortified opposers of the move
ment for womens riding en- cavalier
may be interested in learning that
had it not been for an accident of
fashion, the gentler sex would be
striding their horses still, and that
the side saddle is not an invention
due to the advanced modesty of
civilization. 1t appears that one
Anna of Bohemia, eldest daughter
Of German emperor and wife of an
English king, introduced the custom,
not from delicate repulsion to the
old method, but simply because she
was afflicted with some sort OF de-
formity, that rendered it impossible
for her to ride upon the saddles in
common use. In those days IL was
imperative that n woman should
ride; accordingly, the first side sad
die was invented. Royalty had then
as now snobbish followers, ever on
the alert to adopt fashions honored
by its patronage, and in a few
months every woman Of position IL
England possessed side saddle, anc
the custom was established.

The Trading Rat,

An animal whose instinct teaches
it to give Quid pro quo should be ca
pable Of business education. The
last candidate we should select for
such schooling is the thievish rat,
hut now we learn that there are rudi-
ments of honesty and fair dealing in
one species of even that animal.
A curious statement is made about
the trading rat which is one of the
unique and interesting animals met
with in the Rocky Mountains. The
miners OF the region declare that al
though these rats enter houses,
camps and mines, and take things
that do not belong 10 them, they
never take an article without leaving
something in its place. They con-
duct a trade. and hence their name.
They enter dwellings at night and
steal anything they can find, carry
ing away spoons, knives and forks,
but invariably leaving a chip or stone
in place of each article taken away.
The miners look upon the uncanny
dealings of these precocious animals
with superstition almost amounting
to ave. and tell many wonderful
stories Of their fineSse, and the length
to which they carry their depreda-
tions, but the predominant quality
with which they invest them is the
extraordinary faculty Of trading OF
exchanging alluded to.

Sugar from Corn Cobs.

"We have all heard" says Colonel
Clement +. Carter Of st. Louis, of
how corn is used under Gel tain con-
ditions for fuel, and | believe that
the time is coming when people will
be able to live almost exclusively on
corn and corn products. The latest
triumph in this direction that has
come to my notice is nothing less
than the manufacture of imitation
maple syrup and sugar from corn
cobs. When corn is raised in large
quantities the cobs are looked on as
a nuisance, and | imagine they could
be bought by the carload at a very
small price. If, however, this latest
development becomes a success, the
figure is liable to rise rapidly. 1t has
been found that after the cobs have
been boiled long enough a liquid is
obtained which, by adding a very
small portion of sugar, becomes al
most as palatable as maple syrup,
and which can he eyaporated into
something which would pass as very
average maple sugar. With corn
capable Of producing bread. starch
oil, sugar and a dozen other articles
the idea Of its being sold under any
conditions as low as 20 cents bushe
is idiotc. 1t ought to be worth al
most its weight in gold"

Female Pirates.

Two OF the most extraordinary OF
the pirates who formerly scourged the
waters of the West Indies were wom-
en-. One OF them was Mary Read.
She was native Of England. and
had been dressed as boy from child
hood for the purpose Of hiding
family secret. At one time she
served on a British war vessel, where
her sex was not suspected. Finally
she took passage on ship boundN
Cuba, which was captured bya piras%1
Having nothing better to do she
adopted the piratical trade. One of
her cut-throat shipmates was Aunie
Benny, who was likewise disguised
as man. Anne, not imagining that
Mary was female, fell in love with
her, revealing her own sex. Mary
was thus obliged to make similar
revelation. These two extraordinary
persons took their part with the men
in every conflict. The facts regard
ing them are perfectly we'll authenti-
Gated. While fighting bravely, their
ship was at length taken by war
vessel. They were tried for their
lives at Jamaica, where Mary died in
prison. 1t is not certain what be-
came Of Anne, but she was not ex.
ecuted. lObe-Democrat.

to live Is now in course OF erection.
1t will stand at Fifth avenue and
Sixty-frst street, New York, a pala-
tial residence which will cost 81, $780,
OOO. The house will be Of brown
stone, four stories high. with artistic
carving over the f1rst-story windows.
The deliberately carved main entrance
will be approached by twelve steps,
hewn from a solid block of brown
stone, and will cost $4,000 The
picture gallery will be $50 feet in
length, and will be in the rear Of the
building. 1t will be one story high,
with a glass roof. In this gallery
will be shown Mr.. Yerkes' famous
81 900, 900 collection Of old mas
tiers. The gallery will open into
the big conservatory. The en-
tire first floor of the mansion
can be thrown into one room, for in
place of the dividing walls there will
be rows of pillars of carved Italian
marble. Curtains hung between the
pillars will take the place of walls.
So when this immense floor is thrown
open and the picture gallery curtains
drawn there will be ballroom sur
passing anything in this country. In
one corner of the great conservatory
will be large fountain, with a basin
of fancy marbles and silver cupid.
Mr.. Yerkes will support an orchestra
of his own. The musicians will play
for the delectation of the Chickering'S
family and guests at his dinners, re-
ceptions and balls. Mrs. Yerkes
bathroom will cost 100000. The
ceilings in the principal rooms will
be painted by French artists. The
dining room ceiling, on the first floor,
will cost $4,000, and will represent
hunting scene and banquet after
the hunt. There will be an electric
elevator in this private residence.
Electricity will play an important
part In the deco ations. The lamps
will be hidden, no lamps or globes
appearing in sight except in the main
parlor, where a chandelier will be
suspended.

In the past, servants left to guard
