Found and Lost a Treasure.

One of the rarest books extant is the
first edition of Don Quixote, published
in Madrid in 1905. Recently collector
in the City of Mexico while examining a
pile of old books for sale in one of the
remoter wards of the city came across
an ancient edition of "Quixote," but
installing the date concluded it was not
a first edition. Next day he discovered
by reference to his library that the book
was genuine first edition.
He went back to find the treasure, but
it had been sold for waste paper in the
interim, and although search has been
made in every small shop in the city the
precious volume cannot be found. A
few years ago a California book collector
bought in an old bookstall there a first
folio edition of Shakespeare, paying Sl5
for book worth S6,000.-New York
Times.

An Insult to a Princess.

Sarebji, princess of India, came to
the Worlds fair from Bombay, her
home, with Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ballan-
tine. Mr.. Ballantine is American con-
sui at Bombay. The princess supports
a school for native children in Bombay.
Mr.. Ballantine relates an incident that
happened to her in cable car the other
day. AS she took seat in the car fat
woman adorned with cheap jewelry
Topped down in the seat next to her.
Turning to her companion, little man,
the large woman sneeringly exclaimed
in tones loud enough to be heard all
around:
Il suppose I'll have to set next to this
thing"
The princess quietly replied:
Don't be alarmed, madam; am no
savage and will not hurt YOU
Whereupor the fat woman said to the
little man:
My goodness, she can talk English.
Who would ever have thought IL
The manner in which the people here
gaze at a person is very embarrassing.
I don't like ii" continued the princess.
why should they be startled to hear
me speak the English language: 1t is
the first language my mother taught me,
and am better acquainted with it than
with any other. Chicago Tribune.

Awaiting virehow's Decision.

Among the treasure trove which las
come to light lately as the result OF Hell
lenic excavation, none has been more
enthusiastically heralded than that
which was discovered the other day at
Overwhelmingly, the Uranium of Soph-
ocles. Already it has been sought to
throw damper on the delight Of the
discoveries by suggesting doubts as to
its authenticity-and certainly the Greek
record as to such salvage from an
tiquity," whether it be coin or manu-
script, tomb or Uranium, is not SO in
variably unsullied as to absolve the
finder from the most stringent proofs of
bona fides.
Controversy round this latest prize of
archaeology has waxed so warm indeed
that an arbiter has had to be constituted
an arbiter who to classical learning adds
the scarcely less appropriate qualifica-
tons of anatomical and archaeological
knowledge. Professor Virchow of Ber-
lin is the authority to whom the con-
tending camps have consented to appeal,
and by his Judgment, REINFORCED as it
will doubtless be by that of the archa-
ologists and men of science with whom
Germany abounds, the question will,
Professionally at least, be settled.
We await Professor Virchow's deci-
sion with unusual interest and on grounds
which every student of the connection
between genius and organization will
readily experimentation Lancet.

SECRETARY FOSTERS CHAIR.
How Carefully the Government Looks
After Things of Small Value.

How Carefully the Government Looks
After Things of Small Value.
1t is the popular impression that the
smaller affairs of government are very
loosely run, and that in any of the de-
partments are opportunities for fat
pickings by any man not over scrupu-
lous.
As evidence of the incorrectness of
this theory one of the treasury de-
partment employees relates an incident
of the first day of Mr.. Carlisles ad-
ministration. Secretary Foster had
occupied one chair at his desk for a
long time, and, as men will, had be-
come attached to it. He expressed a
desire to take it with him.
Certainly" said his successor,
take it along"
1t was more easily said than done.
First an order was necessary; then
the chair was to be accounted for to
the official who has such matters in
charge; then it was to be paid for.
1t was a valueless piece of furniture.
the appraiser was sent for. He eyed
the wreck over and over and said it
might be worth 81 to anybody who
wanted it very much.
''All right, said the secretary. Then
he put his hand in his pocket, pulled
out 81 bill, paid the official and pre-
sented the chair to his predecessor.

A MEAN TRICK.
Changing the Book Marks Loses a Law
yer His Case.

yer His Case.
A lawyer defending a promissory
note went to lunch, leaving his books
and citations on the ia bic in the court
room. The opposing counsel sneaked
back into the room and changed the
places of all his book marks. In the
Afternoon He lawyer, taking up his
books, re- d the court to his authori-
ties His Lo-dship noted every volume
and page carefully and took the case
under consideration. In rendering
his opinion, he said:
Il was inclined after hearing the
argument of counsel for defendant to
nonsuit plaintiff, but I find after re-
ferring to the authorities quoted by
counsel none OF them bear on the case,
and am led - think that the gen
tleman has wiifully been trying to in
suit the court. He has referred to me
an action of an lrishman who sued
the proprietor of a monkey for dam
ages for biting him, to case of ar
son, one of burglary, two of petty
larceny and three divorce cases, none
of which bear on an action to recover
prcraissory note. Perhaps the gross
est insult to the court is referring to
'Duckworth vs. Boozyman, an action
charging defendant with breach of
promise Judgment for plaintiff, with
costs"
The lawyer never knew what the
matter was, and to this day he thinks
the judge was out of his mind.

Canadians Think Aberdeen of Color.

The Canadian snobnocracy have dis
covered what they regard as a serious
blot on the escutcheon of the new gov
ernor general. 1t has leaked out that
Lord Aberdeen is engaged in fruitgrow-
ing in British Columbia. and that he is
about to establish a factory on his farm
for canning fruit, and Ottawa society
being of ve-y exclusive character it is
feared that the revolving intelligence
may seriously interfere with his lord
ships social surroundings. One news

that it will create no great surprise IF

at Aberdeen because he runs a fruit

False Christs.

Not less than four false Christs are
mentioned as having appeared between
Sabbathia Zebi, the greatest of all
the many Jewish pretenders. Zebi
made a great noise in the religious
world, imposing himself upon the
Jews as king of the Kings of the
Earth" He finally tried his hand at
converting the Orient, and was only
saved from being pierced by poisonous
arrows by embracing Islamism and
agreeing to labor for that faith. OF
the other three, one was Mordecai, a
German Jew; the names of the others
are not given in history.

THE APPEAL INTERVIEW.
Pronounced Correct by The
Miners.

| MlUeTSs
The Daily Report of San Francisco
| has the following:
A sensational dispatch from Car
ton, New, purporting to represent
what the Miners Union on the Cons
stock is going to do in the matter of
reducing wages, was published in
the morning papers. Those in this
city who are In q position to know
said this morning that what the dis
patch contained was made out of
whole cloth. One of them said:
cit Is only necessary to read the
Carson APPEAL and know that Sam
Davis wrote it to cause the news to
be discredited.
The interview came from a promi-
nent member of the Miners Union
and is correct. Yesterday scores of
members of the Union were in the
city, attending the picnic, and every
one of them who spoke on the subject
SAID that the APPEAL report was the
only correct account Of the situation
yet published.
The APPEAL gets its facts from
members of the Miners Union whom
the editor has known for fifteen
years and their statements are en-
dorsed by the miners. If the Report
will send man to the ground and
he finds to the contrary, the APPEAL
will pay all expenses.
The Report is a notorious fakir of
telegraph dispatches, of the ''Swen-
laetsew" order. and their Virginia
dispatches are written in the Office of
the Report.
By telegraphing to the Secretary
of the Union the Report can easily
verify the APPEALS statement.

When the Almighty was about
through making Lake Tahoe, he put
on the finishing touches by putting
Emerald Bay where it is now.
Taking it all in all, there is no

miniature proposition, as it were, but
for background has some mighty
mountains, whose bold and rocky
scalps stand out in strange contrast
to the cool mass of green foliage
below.
The waters of the bay are almost
as green as the pines which grow
close to the edge of tho bay, from
which they are only separated by a
narrow strip of sand almost As white
as snow.
To tho right the rocks rise a per
pendicular wall several hundred feet
high and back of these the rocks and
pines rise two thousand feet higher.

As far az the eye can reach up this
