All That Is Left of a Magazine.

A few years ago a man started a weekly
magazine, subscription 50 a year in ad-
vance. In order to increase the circulation
he gave with each subscription a lot of land
in Florida. 1t was a genuine offer. The
land was bought and cut up in town lots,
Is feet by 60, and a deed signed by a COM
missioner for the state of Florida was de-
livered with every lot. An Ohio man took
Is subscriptions on the condition that a
square in the new town be named for him.
A woman in Tennessee offered to take 100
subscriptions if the town were named for
her.
The plan had not been working for more
than a month when the government aui
thorities put a sudden stop to it OF the
ground that it was a swindle. The privi-
leges of the mails were denied to the pub
fishers, and the publication had to be aban-
doned. All moneys were refunded, and the
only relic of the magazine is q piece of
ground Of $50 acres near De Funiak Springs.
Each lot given away cost the publishers II
cents.-New York Tribune.

A Pullman Porter Taught . Lesson.

"A OAA0ko4 6OEt0E xAURuS U Lesson
For once in my life l saw the lord of all
he surveys" the sleeping car porter, non
plused, and very badly at that. It wa on
the Houston and Texas Central railroad.
When at the little town of Richardson on
the upper end Of the line, two ladies board
ed the train and by some mistake were ush-
cred into the Pullman car. My lord in the
brass buttons sailed up to them, and find
ing out the mistake that led to their being
in that car instead of the day coach began
to show off his majestic powers of inso-
lence. He did not observe a gentleman who
had boarded the train at the same station,
and who stood quietly observing the scene
from the door of the car. This gentleman
now advanced, saying, BE seated, ladies,
until we reach the next town, when you
can easily enter the other car" Then,
reckoning to the conductor, he added,
stop the train, L." Here, captain?"
asked the conductor. Yes: here"
There was a pull of the bellrope, the train
stopped, and the porter was gently assisted
out of the car, thence on to the bald prairie,
when the captain said to him, Now, walk
the Is miles to Dallas, you delicate bios
som, and study politeness as you trudge
along; you are no longer in our employ"
There was a shower of ~expostulations, pleas
for pardon and a shake or two of the fist at
the fast vanishing train. but it vanished
for all that, leaving him to study Is pages,
each a mile long, in a book entitled Never
Judge by Appearances" The gentleman
who had set him the lesson was Captain F.,
a high official of the road.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

The Cat Problem In New York.

The cat problem has been always a seri-
GUS one to the municipality of New York.
AS the city has grown the cats have in
creased and taken IN a cosmopolitan and
bohemian air from the felines that chant
the Marseillaise and intermezzo around
Washington square and Wooster street to
the aristocratic pets Of upper Fifth avenue.
How to control the natural increase and
the immigration has vexed the city griev-
ously. Happily the good Mrs. English,
who died the other day, has given a valua-
BILE suggestion. She set aside by will a
certain amount for the future maintenance
of her cats in Williamsburg.
People in Williamsburg like cats, and
there is no reason why cats should not, aft
er the first pangs, be- contented in Williams
burg. or course it is not New York, and
there is always the annoyance of ferries to
contend against, and the east side is a little
malarial at times. But even a treacherous
climate will not knock off more than two
of a cats nine lives. Really Mrs. English's
idea is a good one, and deportation of cats
to Williamsburg may be recommended for
trial.-New York World.

Athens Returning to Classical Greek.

Athens Returning to Classical Greek.
II once had Il chat with the late Profess
or Sophocles, the famous native Greek pro-
fessor of Harvard. on the subject of the
pronunciation of our language as taught
in America, " said the Greek consul, Mr.. d.
T. Timayensis, recently. Il asked him why
he taught a pronunciation which he knew
was not right.
1t doesn't make any difference what
pronunciation we teach,' he replied, be-
cause these boys will never know ANYTHING
anyway.
1.-THE Germans have been the most con-
scientious and thorough students of the
ancient Greek language" continued the
consul. ut is but fair to say, however, that
a very learned Greek lady, who has been in
this country studying your institutions,
says that she found a class Of girls in We'll
lesley college who were better versed in
Greek classics than the girls in our own
schools in Athens. should say they must
be very good, then, for a great revival in
Greek classical study has taken place with
in a few years. The spoken language is
conforming more and more closely to clas-
steal standards. Foreign words that have
crept into the language are being cast
aside. l noticed the increased purity of
the language when l returned to Greece
and met some of my university classmates.
They were following the classical Greek SO
closely that l thought at first it was a joke
or an affectation, but l soon saw that the
set were all talking that way.'-Boston

To the Hon. J. Sterling Morton:
DEAR S1R-Your petitioner, Mark Twain, a
poor farmer of Connecticut-indeed the poor

few choice breeds of seed corn maize), and in
return will zealously support the administra-
ton in all ways honorable and otherwise.
To speak by the card, l want these things to
carry to Italy to an English lady. She is a
neighbor of mine outside of Florence and has
a great garden and thinks she could raise corn
for her table if she had the right ammunition.
l myself feel a warm interest in this enter
prise, both on patriotic grounds and because l
have a key to that garden, which I got made
from a wax impression. 1t Is not very good
soil; still think she can raise enough for one
table. and l am in a position to select the table.
If you are willing to aid and abet a country

Ostrich Plumes.

In each wing of an ostrich % long white
plumes grow to maturity in eight months.
In the male these are pure white, while
those of the female shade to ecru or gray.
The short feathers are plucked for tips, and
each wing furnishes IS of these. The tail
feathers are of a deep old ivory color, and
IS of these have a commercial value. In a
plucking at the Coronado ostrich farm 800
feathers were obtained from one bird,
which, when curled and dressed, will be
worth s65. The female ostrich lays 20 eggs

The Name of Easter.

The name Easter is derived. as some sup.
pose, from Eostre, the title of a Saxon
deity whose feast was ceAebrated every
year in the spring about the same time as
the Christian festival, the name being re-
tanned when the character of the feast was
changed, or, as others suppose, from oster,
which signifies rising. If the latter propo-
sition be correct, Easter is in name as we'll

The Word 'Creole."

A creole, strictly speaking, is any person
born in this country of foreign parents. Be
cause the word is from the Spanish %criollo,
a child, the use of it has been restricted,
first to children OF foreign parents born in
Louisiana, and second, to children of Span
ish or French parents born in Louisiana,
and then in the north the word has been
perverted so that it is believed to imply
some strain of negro blood in a person to
whom it is applied. 1t does not imply any
thing of the sort.-New York Sun.
