Made OF Millions of Pebbles Imported
From Brazil in Coffee Sacks.
A we'll known downtown coffee mer-
chant. says the New York World,
boasts of having at his country place
on Long Island the most expensive
gravel walk in the world. His firm
annually imports from Brazil as many
as $50, 900 sacks of coffee. In every
sack there is 70 be found from one TO
three pounds OF small pebbles. They
do not get there ~ accident, but are
put in to make weight, just Us the un-
scrupulous Chinaman adds blue clay in
solution to the tea lie sends US. The
presence Of the pebbles is a rule
that very rarely presents an excep-
ton. For years the presence of
the guilty little pellets were "A
source of constant annoyance and
expense. consequent upon the breaking
of grinding machirery. Then genius
came TO the aid of the coffee rooster
and invented IL machine somewhat on
the order of that delicate apparatus
found in banks which detects and
throws 20 one side light weight gold
coin. The coffee beans by this device
are passed into u hopper which leads
them { o "a broad wire belt. where they
spread out. A strong fan blast removes
particles of husks, cover, etc, TO one
side. In n name inexplicable to the
bystander the pebbles roll 10 n side
of the belt and pass into IA chute which
leads to a bin, while the coffee goes
marching on TO the end of the belt,
where il drops into a bin, from which
it passes TO the parching department.
There are a dozen or more of these ma
chimes in operation night and day. The
amount of pebbles in a sixty pound
sack of coffee will average two pounds
the year through, or, in this establish
ment, a total of 5000 pounds annu-
ally. The coffee importer began the
construction of his novel garden path
five years ago, and about $500, 900
pounds OF Brazilian pebbles have gone
into il. Inasmuch as every pound Of
these pebbles was paid for Is coffee at
not less than 10 cents per pound the
garden walk represents and is n ouve-
mir OF the duplicity OF the brazilian ex-
porter 20 the extent of s25, 200.

Cause Of Napoleon's Illness.

Stendal tells of a lady who met Ma
poYon in 1895 and describes him as 80
thin that he inspired pity" rs the thin
nest and queerest being she had ever
met. His earlier portraits give him q
thin and emaciated look.
A story is told which ascribes his ill
health at this time TO an incident of the
seige Of Toulon, characteristic of Ma
poleon's i~mpetuosity. One OF the gun
ners of a battery had been suddenly
killed, and it was important that his
guns fire should not cease. Napoleon
took the rammer and loaded and fired
several times. BY the contact of his
bare hands with the rammer he con-
tracted a malignant skin disease from
which the gunner had suffered.
This disease was allowed to 90 un-
treated, or with merely palliating treat
ment. 1t kept Napoleon looking thin
and weak in the Egyptian campaign,
and in the second year OF the consulate
grew even worse.
Napoleon the<l, upon the advice OF
Gen. Lannes, consented to see DR.. Cor
visart. who cured the disease easily and
remained his physician after Napoleon
became emperor.
After this time Napoleon's constant
and increasing tendency was 10 become

buzzard lowered, and by the brink of lonely
tarns the heron waded, rising up as ap
preached, with sleepy watt Of wing.
At last. after q ramble of several miles, /
approached the sea margin. My path was
o on the stony edge OF low-lying cliffs, at
the base OF which the waters Numbered for
ever. Here l found a lonely promontory OF
black granite, stretching out into the sea and
whitened at its limits by the chalky drop
pings OF innumerablc sea-birds. On q rocky
island a few yards from the extreme point OF
the promontory, sat a flock OF cormorants;
rs j approached, they turned their snake
lik necks, but did not rise.
The sun was warm and bright, the sea calm
and shimmering like steel. | threw myself
down on the rocks, and, with face-upturned
to the clear skies, closed my eyes. A large
black winged gull wheeled, screaming, over
me, and then sailed slowly away. All l
heard was the low murmur OF the pillows
breaking sadly OH the rocks beneath me-
that sound which "deepens silence" and has
such solemn meanings for the troubled hu-
man soul.
Suddenly another sound broke upon my
ear. l started. and listened. The sound
seemed to come from the sea itself. and was
like a mermaid singing. l rose quickly, and
crossing the rocks, walked In the direction
from which the voice came.
Approaching the edge Of the crags, l look
ed down, and saw beneath me, in the very
shadow OF the promontory, a quiet creek.
The rocks fell asunder. leaving a space OF
sandy beach, some twenty yards broad, and
closed by the still waters Of the sea, which
broke In q thin fringe OF white foam on a
sunny slope of white pebble and golden
sand.
1t was a nook Just such as the tabled mer-
women or sirens might have chosen when
the world was haunted, and such fair crea-
tions frightened the sunshine. But what am
] saying? 1t was haunted still, and by II
far sweeter and more wInsome than any
mere creation of a poets fancy!
Lying like a basking seal on the loose
single just under the rocks, and looking up
at me with sparkling eyes, was the colored
girl from Demerara: and standing on the
waters edge, With her face looking seward,
was Madeline Graham.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: Tho story
OF the career of III. A. w. Tabor OF Coll
orado Is a picturesque and romantic
one. interspersed with episodes Of both
comedy and pathos, and conveying
some lessons that have general inter-
est and importance. He was born and
raised In New England. where be
learned the trade Of u stonecutter.
From there he went to Kansas during
the slavery troubles, and engaged in
farming, but gave n good share of his
time TO politics as an ardent friend Of
the free state cause Then he moved
to Colorado and opened small store at
Leadville. being then so poor that his
wife did wasting. One day he casually
'g~rubstalsed" two ragged and hungry
miners, and they struck it rich" aud
he became a millionaire before he knew
It. He was the principal owner of the
Little Pittsburg mine, which yielded
over 81, 0 900 in two years; he bought
the Crysolite, which yielded SO, ZOO, 900
In less than n year; then Il part of

which paid him 5000 per day, and at
times as much as $685. 900. Every
thing that he touched turned to
money. and he accumulated wealth
beyond the dreams of avarice." Ho
built magnificent blocks OF houses in
Denver, and established various busi
ness enterprises; and at length he was
sent as a senator TO Washington, where
he promoted the gayety of nations by
wearing night shirts that cost $3.50
apiece.
hat vr0 )nly n little over a dozen
years ago, and today Tabor is a bank
rupt, and an assignee has possession OF
the small remnants of his once colossal
fortune. Fol the last five or six years
he has known nothing but reverses.
His property steadily dwindled in
value, his speculatIons all proved dis
appointing and the payment OF high
rates OF interest upon money borrowed
in the vain hope of turning the tide once
more in his favor has finally forced
him to capitulate and placed him prac-
tically where he was when he kept the
little store at Leadville, and his wife.
from whom he has meanwhile been de
vorced, was helping him along by doing
the service of a mining camp laundress.
This goes to show in N striking way
how riches take to themselves wings
and fly away. When Tabor was at the
zenith of his remarkable success it
did not seem possible that he could
ever become n poor man again; and
yet "a comparatively short period
has sufticed to strip him of his
great estate and scatter it in all direc-
tions. II is so with these big fortunes
much oftener than we stop to think.
They have no assurance of permanence.
The causes that produce them are not
stronger than the influences that ope-
rate to undermine and dissipate them.
In cases where they do not, as in this
instance, collapse during the lifetime
of the original possessor. those who in
herit them are rarely able to preserve
them; and thus, apparently, by force of
some unknown law, they are redistrib-
uted and made a part of tho common
fund of society in which every man has
such n share as he Gun acquire by his
diligence and intelligence.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. AT $3.50
o'clock this morning fire broke out in
the building occupied by the Indiana
Medical college on the corner Of South
Pennsylvania and Maryland streets. In
n few minutes the whole building was
in flames and efforts of the fire depart
ment to head them off were without
avail. The fire quickly spread
to the Scottish rite building
adjoining where the finest Masonic
paraphernalia in the west was reduced
to ashes. This outfit had but recently
been purchased and the estimated loss
to the Masons by reason of its d~estruc-
ton, together with the five story build
ing and all tho other contents, will
reach 500, 900.

Surprising though it may appear
at first sight, there are far fewer OBJ

FIGHT BETWEEN DOG AND SHARK.
Both Were Badly winded When Capt
Mcneil Settled 1t with an Az.

A fight bewteen a shark and a dog is
something very unusual. Such a con-
test took place on a sand bar neal the
Bridgeport light, off Seaside park,
Bridgeport. Conn. Capt. Mcneil. the
keeper OF the light, has n large New.
foundland dog named Prince. He is
very fond of fish, and yesterday, while
perched upon the end of the break.
water looking out for a chance to get .
choice morsel for his dinner, he espied
q large black object laundering in a
sort of ove made by the fall of the
tide on the sand bar a short distance
away.
Prince started for the spot. The OBJ
jcct proved to be a shark left by the out
going tide in the cove, with only about
q foot of water in which 70 founder.
Prince swan to the place where the inn
prisoued shark was and proceeded to
help himself to the biggest dinner of sea
food he had had in some time. From
the way he tackled the shark it was
evidently bis intention to shake the life
out of him. but six feet of shark was too
much for Pr.nee. The shark was
angry and showed it by tlinging Prince
about twenty feet. The dog renewed
the attack. this time in the rear. Re
fastened his teeth in the tail OF the
shark and dragged the fish about thirty
feet before letting GO. This was Princes
favorite mode of attack after that, but
the next time he tried il it proved very
disastrous for him. The shark waited
until Prince was neal enough and then
made u nit. 1t was no foul tip. but one
that sent the dog many feet and doubled
him up so that he stayed in that posi-.
ton for some time.
Prince renewed the attack, and again
succeeded in getting his teeth in the
tail Of the shark. He held on for some
time, but at last the tail proved too live
~ for him, and again he was sent flying
many feet into the water. The battle
had been going on for some time when
Capt. Mcneil saw that the dog was
getting the worst of it, and armed with
an az he rode 10 the scene. One round
was fought while he was on the way,
anil it is described by the captain as
follows:
A swing Of the tail aud Prince picks
himself up several feet away. Prince
PUSHES. An upper-cut by the shark
lands Prince again. Prince feints and
the sharks tail fans the wind. Prince
clinches his teeth in the sharks tail. and
when they break loose Prince is in the
air. Several lively passes follow, in
which the fish loses much skin and
Prince makes several tours in the air.
The round ended with both comhatants
bleeding aud badly winded."
As soon as Capt. Mcneil reached the
spot he dispatched the shark with the
ak. The shark was nearly six feet long.
Tho water was stained with blood frona
the effects Of the struggle.
