THE CAB DRIVER A DEAD SPORT.
He Makes Lady In His Vehicle Gamble
for the Fare.

Some time ago a cab driver was ar
raigned before the police court on a
very curious charge, says Petit Jour
nal. The complainant, lady whom
he had driven home from party,
made the following extraordinary
statement:
"We were in the middle Of the
Champ de Mars when the cab stopped
and the driver got down. | thought
an accident had happened to the
vehicle or to the horse and little
dreamed of the surprise in store for
me. The door was opened and the
cabman appeared, holding one of the
carriage lamps in his hand.
Madame he began, i hope you
will excuse me. | CHANGED to hear
that you were playing cards this even
ing. | have a weakness in that direc-
ton myself and always carry pack
in my pocket; see heren SO saying he
drew forth greasy pack from under
his great coat, jumped in the cab, sat
down opposite to me, and began to
shuttle the cards, saying: "A game of
bezique, qui feran whereupon he
held out the cards to let me draw for
the deal.
Il was so astounded could not utter
a word and began to shudder at the
thought that this man, who thus forced
his company upon me, must be either
drunk or mad.

naturally; we will therefore not play
high, but simply for the fare
"What was | to do in the Champ de

was no policeman, not single passer-
by to appeal to for protection. / had
to yield to the inevitable. We played
and ! won.
"All right, exclaimed the driver; Il
have lost and must drive you home for
nothing
ale got out. closed the door, re-
placed the lamp, climbed on the box,
and drove on. When alone could not
help laughing at the situation-un-
paralleled in the whole range of my
experience. On arriving at my house
| got out and prepared to pay the
driver, as, of course | never intended
to accept the terms he proposed. But
the man stoutly refused, saying that
owed him nothing, and regarded my
offer as an insult. The very idea
seemed to arouse his ire and he at last
became extremely rude, when a police
man luckily hove in sight, whom ! in-
formed of what had occurred"
Cabby was sentenced to forty-eight
hours "seclusion."

The MiIkman's Confession.

A St Louis lady tells the strange
confession of milkman. For some
time past she had suspected that the
cream left at her house was diluted.
Although it had plenty of foam on
top it did not seem equal in quality to
good milk. She determined to inter-
rogate the milkman. and so she watch
ed for him. When he came she in-
formed him of her suspicion. At first
he insisted that the cream was as good
as any sold, but when she persisted in
her statement that she had drunk
country milk that was far better, he
weakened and said:
Can you keep secret, mumP
Well, to tell you the truth. mum. the
cream you got is not cream at all. The
foam that is on top is made from the
white of eggs, and is put there to
make you believe you are getting the
genuine article. But you are right in
suspecting you amt mum. It's moth
ing but delusion-and maybe you
might say sham, too. But | don't
know. Most people never find out the
difference. and so long as they don't
know as how they are being fooled.

The Deepest Hole in the World.

One of the most important scientific
explorations into the depths of the
earth ever undertaken will be carried
out near Wheeling under the joint
auspices of the United States govern
ment and the city of Wheeling, says a
letter to the Philadelphia Press. Some
months ago the Wheeling Development
company began drilling well near
this city in search Of oil or gas. 1t was
determined to bore as far as possible.
The hole has already reached the
depth of 4 100 feet. within 500 feet of
the deepest we'll in the world In this
distance a dozen of thick veins of coal
have been passed, oil and gas both
struck, but not in paying quantities,
and gold quartz, iron, and many other
minerals found. The hole is eight
inches in diameter and the largest in
diameter of any deep we'll in the world.
Recently Prof White, state geologist,
arrived from Washington. where he
had succeeded in getting the govern
ment geological survey officers inter-
ested IN the exploration, and the result
is that the hole will be drilled to
depth of one mile. Then the govern
ment will take up the work under the
direction of two expert officers of the
geological survey and drill into the
earth as far as human skill can pene-
trate. The idea is to take the tenn
perature and magnetic conditions as far
as possible, and by means of an instru-
ment constructed for the purpose a
complete record of the progress and
all discoveries made will be kept.

The Cruel Railroad Conductor.

Last August in one of the mountain
bound parlor cars sat a richly dressed
young woman tenderly holding very
small poodle. MADAME" said the
conductor, as he punched her ticket,
81 am very sorry, but you can't have
your dog in this ear
81 shall hold him in my lap all the
way" she replied, land he will dis
turb no one
"That makes no difference" said the
conductor. ii couldn't allow my own
dog here. Dogs must ride in the bag
gage car. I'll faslen him all right for
you-"
"Don't you touch my dog. sir" said
the young moman eNcitedly. Il will
trust him to no one" And with in
dignant tread she marched to the bag
gage car, tied her dog aud returned.
About fifty miles further on, when
the conductor came along again, she
asked him:
"Will you tell me if my dog is all
right?"
Il am very sorry" said the con-
ductor, politely, but you tied him TO
trunk and he was thrown of with it
at the last station. y loUth's Com.

The Arabian Breed.

There are hundreds of horses called
Arab in America which have no right
to the name. Almost every spotted
horse, or ''calico horse, is said to be
more or less Arab. while it is stated as
a positive fact by no less an authority
than John ii. Wallace that an Arab
may be of any color in the world but
spotted. No Arab is calico in color.
1t is an exceedingly difficult thing to
get pure-bred Arab. The Bedouin
chief will not sell one at any price,
and the only ones procured are secured
by raids on the tribes of the Euphrates
Valley. In the whole United States
there are only three strictly pure-bred
Arabian horses. Two of these are the
stations Leopard and Linden Tree,
which were presented to General Grant
by the Sultan of Turkey. and mare
named Naomi, which has been import
ed from England. Linden Tree is the
possessor of one of the ugliest tempers
OF any living horse. He is said to be
a fiend incarnate. 1t is popularity
OF the Arabs, that if used kindly and
treated with consideration they are
gentle and lovablc. ITO one that has
gained the confidence of an Arab
horse there is the pleasure of knowing
that he associates with a brute en-
lowed with a soul" Abuse one of
them. and you have aroused devil
that can never be subdued, for of their
courage there is no limit. and they
resist abuse while they have life.

Sherman's March to The Sea.

Among the chief figures of the epoch
of the war probably Lincoln and Sher-
man were the most individual and
original. The most romantic and
picturesque of the many renowned
events of that time was the march to
the sea. 1t has already distinctive
character. like that of the Greeks in
Xenophon's story of the Ten Thousand.
When the news of its successful issue
reached this part of the country. it
served to show the simple and honest
patriotism of one of the most unfortun-
ate of the Union generals. Burnside,
after the explosion of the mine at
Petersburg, had been relieved. and
was staying with company of friends
at a country house on Narragansett
Bay. The company were all sitting one
morning upon the spacious piazza,
when messenger rode up and an
nounced Sherman's success. Burn
sides delight was enthusiastic. All
thought of himself vanished. The
good cause only was in his mind and
heart, and running to his wife, he joy
fully kissed her, saying, Il know that
the company feels as do, and will for
give me-"
1t was the feeling of a soldier as
simple and true-hearted and patriotic,
but not so fortunate. as Sherman; and
it was the same candor and manly
sweetness of nature that softened Sher-
mans voice whenever he spoke of the
soldiers of the war to whom fate had
seemed to be unkind. He is gone, the
last VI the old familiar figures, some of
his old foes bearing him tenderly to the
grave. And are not Lincoln. Grant.
Sherman, Sheridan, Porter. Seward,
Chase, Stanton, Sumner, and their fell
lows, historic figures worthy to rank
