= These overdone parsonages were wear

Man and Wolf Surprised.

A hunter and Wolf had an interesting
mutual surprise party to themselves in
the hills near Helena a few days ago,
The hunter, arrayed in a heavy wolfskin
overcoat, fur side outward, was exam
lining some traps set the previous night
He was stopping over one, rearranging
the bait, when there was fierce growl,
and heavy weight fell suddenly on his
back, so that he barely missed being
caught in his own trap. He managed to
shake himself free, and recovering his
feet found facing him a full grown buff
falo wolf. The wolf seemed quite as
much surprised as the hunter, and they
looked at each other some seconds be-
fore the fight. which ended in the death
of the wolf, began. The brute evidently
was fooled by the coat and the hunters
STOPPING position and mistook him for
another wolf.-Big Horn County Rustler.

Gibraltar and Spain.

1t may be objected that although Glib
raltar might be useless t. Us as against
Spain, it would still, in wartime, be use
full to US as against any os,.,r power. II
certainly might be useful 10 u very mod
fled extent. 1t is nevertheless matter
of notoriety that Spain ardently desires
to regain possession of the fortress, and
it is scarcely conceivable that, uaiess we
were actually fighting for the protection
of Spanish interests, Spain would remain
rigidly neutral while another power was
attempting to expel Us from the rock.
In order to secure the more or less &C
tive cooperation of Spain the other pow
er would merely have to give some Sc
cret pledge that, having once gained
possession of Gibraltar. she would hand
it over without charge TO its ancient
owners. France, there is no doubt,
would, with things standing as they do
at present, be very glad to see Spain
take our place there, ard though Italy
might not like it she would not spend q
single centesimo to prevent it.-Fort-
nightly Review.

WHY THE INTERVIEWER EXISTS.
A Few Reasons to Account for the Popu-
larity of One Form of Journalism.

A Few Reasons to Account for the Popu-
larity of One FORM of Journalism.
Why do persons of notoriety admit
the domestic interviewer? Probably a
number of reasons may be assigned.
The most respectable is indolent good
nature; it is easier to say Eyes" than
"no;" to have the tiles in your fireplace
described as Persian" and, at the same
time, as the work of an Englishman,
than to keep your drawing room for
your acquaintance. This is the fairest
plea for permitting your person and
furniture to be exhibited to the subur-
ban citizen who, honest man, prob
ably never heard of you and cares very
little about you.
Again the patient may really like be-
ing talked about in public-may enjoy
the idea of permitting all the world to
know, as Mr.. Allen says, curious little
details which might be left to your con-
science, your cook and the commission
ers Of inland revenue" 1t is an odd
taste, but it is possible that ''the animals
enjoy it" The interviewed may pre-
tend to complain. but may really re-
Joice. The public does not mind it, the
patient is pleased, the interviewer earns
his fee in the way he has been inspired
to choose.
All this may be admitted, but the plea
of necessity cannot be admitted. Again,
probably many of the patients think an
interview" good advertisement. They
are brought before the public notice;
therefore the public will read their books
or buy their pictures. This is sad mis-
take. The public which reads interviews
knows nothing about the interviewed
author and his works, cares nothing
about them nor about anything of the
sort. Here is gossip about somebody
whose name have seen in the papers"
says the reader, so he reads the gossip,
but there his interest ends.
The theory of advertisement, Of profit
TO accrue from little more of personal
notoriety, is blunder. The public OF
this kind cares to know that an author
squints, weighs II stone 10 or has a
broken nose, or uses a thick handled
pen; but as to what he writes with that
pen this kind of public is serenely in
different. Where, then, is the necessity
for admitting the interviewer? Neces-
sity there is none, but Incidence, vanity,
love of notoriety, are likely to keep the
author Of '-tcrviews in full employ.
ment.
Mr.. B!athwayt has added to his vol
ume a defense of his art, in which he
says practically that ''Zenophon" in
terviewed Socrates. An author who
talks Of ''Zenophon" falls little short
of the universal knowledge which it
seems is necessary for the ideal inter
viewEr,.-LondOnS Saturday Review.

4 Glut of Nsummics.

The latest news from the Egyptian mu-
scum at Gheezeh is hat there is such a
glut of mummiiied humanity there, ow-
ing to the quantities of priests of Am
mon discovered awhile ago in upper
Egypt, that the Egyptian government
has proposed 10 the museums of London,
Paris, Berlin, Vienna, st. Petersburg and
Rome TO take them off its hands They
are to be divided into lots, which are to
be drawn for by the accepting parties.
But at present one and all are somewhat
reluctant to take them. So there is still
a chance that the poor priests may fol-
low in the wake of the sacred cats, whose
mummified remains were shipped to Liv-
erpool as fertilizer for the fields.-Lon-

Nipetv-two Years In n workhouse.

The death has been reported to the
Bheppey board of guardians of Eliza
Hu1nphries, who has been an inmate of
5heppey Union workhouse, Sheerness,
for 90 years. The deceased was born in
the establishment and remained charge
able until her death, somewhat weak
intellect debarring her from earning
her own living. She was affectionately
known as the mother" of the house.
Frequently she would ask the visiting
guardians whether her long residence
had not entitled her to a pension.-Ex-

Curious Mode of Catching Turtles.

A curious mode of catching turtles =
practiced i'll the West Indies. 1t consists
in attaching ring and line to the tail
of a species of sucker fish known as the
remora. The live fish is then thrown
overheard and Immediately makes for
the first turtle he can spy, to which he
attaches himself very firmly by means of
sucking apparatus arranged at the top
of his head. Once attached to the tur-
tie, so firm is his grip that the fisherman
on drawing the line brings home both
turtle and the sucker.-Exchange
