STOLE THE WRONG BOOTS.

A Prisoner Whose Tart Reply to the
 Court Resulted in Light Sentence.
 In his Personal "Reminiscences" l.. E. Chittenden tells many good anec- dotes. The sentence passed upon a tramp convicted before Judge Elias Reyes of the larceny of the boots of United States Senator Dudley Chase is a quaint compound of law and sarcasm.
 ''You are a poor creature" said the judge. E'You ought to have known better than to steal. Only rich men can take things without paying for them. And then you must steal in the great town of Windsor and the boots of great man like Senator Chase, the greatest man anywhere around. If you wanted to steal, why didn't you steal in some little town in New Hamp- shire, and the boots of some man who wasn't of any consequence? And then you must steal from him when he was on the way to Washington and per haps the only boots he had. You might have compelled him to wait un- til some shoemaker made him another pair, and shoemakers never keep their promise. And perhaps by the delay some important treaty might have failed of ratification because he was not present in the senate. What have you got to say why you should not be sentenced to state prison for the term of your natural life for stealing Sena- tor Chase's boots?"
 ''I have got to say that you seem to know dern deal more about stealth boots nor what do!' piped the pris- oner.
 That is a sound observation" said the judge, land I will give you only thirty days in the county jail, not so much for stealing as for your ignor- ance in not knowing better than to steal the boots of great man like Sen ator Dudley Chase"

THE WORLDS FAIR TIME-BALL.
How It wm Be Handled and Controlled
 in Its Work.

HOW It VIII be Han0le0 ana COntrOUe0
 in Its Work.
 The five-foot time-ball to be dropped at the world S, fair will be made of can- vas on steel frame. It will be wound up each day to the height from which it is to fall, and it will be set and cleo trically connected in such manner that the breaking of the circuit at twelve noon will release it.
 The cable by which it will be con- trolled has already been laid, connect ing the new observatory with the en- tire Western Union telegraph system, the touch of button at the Washing ton end of it instantaneouSly trans mitting notice of the hour over three hundred and fifty thousand miles of wire.
 When that button speaks the whole country will listen, and the hands of seventy thousand electric clocks all over the country will point to the cor rect minute and second. There are seven thousand such clocks in New York city alone. All railways, fac tories and industries of every kind pay attention to the signal. Three min utes before noon each day all Western Union lines are cleared of business, every operator takes his finger from the key, circuits are opened, and at the instant when the sun passes over the seventy-ffth meridian the spark of in- telligence is flashed to all parts of the country. It requires less than one- fifth of a second to reach San Fran cisco.
 The twelve o'clock signal sent from Washington indicated II a. m. for Chi cago, 10 a. m. for Omaha and a. m. for the Pacific coast, the United States being divided into four perpendicular strips, and each strip setting it's clocks by the time of the meridian which bisects it from north to south. Thus each strip is only one hour later than the next strip to the east.

An old California Law.

It used to be the law in California that justices of the peace had no juris- diction in cases involving more than two hundred dollars. Once, says an old Californian, A. sued B. before a squire in the Coast range for four hun dred dollars. B. posted up to the next town and consulted ''limb of the law" S. ''We'Il go down and throw him out of court on no jurisdiction, '" said s. The day for trial came, and B. and his attorney were on hand. Just to see how far he would go s. let him enter judgment against him, and then called his attention to the fact of mo jurisdiction. ''Ah, yes," said his honor, ''Nr. S., the court has thought of that, and discovered remedy. The court enters judgment against your client for four hundred dollars, and is sues two executions for two hundred dollars each!" and he did it.

SAVINGS BANKS FOR STAMPS.
To Be Introduced Into the Boston Public Schools Very Shortly.

To Be Introduced Into the Boston Public : Schools Very Shortly. ] It is proposed to introduce ''stamp savings banks" in the Boston public schools. From various offices colored stamps of six xdenominations and stamp cards will be obtained. To each per son wishing to become depositor the local treasurer gives him a stamp card and sells him as many stamps as he has money for. These stamps must be pasted on the card. The card, when full, will probably contain about five dollars.
 As soon as the child has stamps for that sum the money is taken and de- posted for him in some savings bank that he may designate. The five dol lars once deposited he begins again, and the small sum grows to larger one under his hands. If he wishes to withdraw he presents his card and draws all that is on it. Then if he has more money than he cares to use he calls for another card and redeposits the balance.
 By this method all bookkeeping is avoided, the child always knows just how much he has, and the local treas urer can tell in the same manner. If the child loses the card, however, he loses his money, or, rather, all that he carried on that card.

A TEXAS POoH-BAH.
He Came from Kentucky and Ran the
 Business of the Town.


 Business of the Town.
 "Some time ago" remarked a lawyer to Louisville Courier-Journal writer, 'I had occasion to visit Texas. 1 stopped at little town one Saturday, about noon, intending to remain there until Monday morning.
 f'The proprietor of the hotel was a gray-haired fellow, we'll preserved, and apparently full of energy. was con- sequently not very greatly surprised when he informed me that he was also a lawyer. He had big, stout wife, and it struck me that he could very well leave the hostelry to her while he practiced law. He disappeared shortly after noon.
 ''I started out to see something of the little town, and, needing a collar, stopped in one or two dry goods stores to buy one. 1 must confess that I was somewhat staggered when found that the hotelkeeper, besides being law yer, was clerk in dry-goods store - for it was he who smiled blandly at me over the counter. I extended my walk until night was falling, and as I ap- preached the hotel who did see light ing the oil lamps in the main street but the hotel proprietor! The next morn ing, which was Sunday, I inquired of him the way to church. Come on, said he, I'll show you He took me into the church and showed me seat, after which he disappeared, saying he must go and ring the bell. In few min utes it was pealing forth it's pleading: Come, O, come,' and soon the congre- gation had gathered
 ''I was prepared for anything al- most, after what had seen of mine hosts versatility, and was not much surprised when he ascended the stairs of the pulpit and opened services. Then he came down again and manipu- lated the keys of the wheezy little or gan while the congregation sang. He then took up the collection, after which he again resumed the pulpit and preached as fine gospel sermon as I ever heard. When services were over and the flock had been dismissed with fervent prayer, the pastor closed up the church.
 What sort of man is Mir. So-and- so, anyhow?' I asked lawyer.
 'Oh,' he answered, he runs the town generally. He's killed a dozen men, more or less, and he is the best shot with the revolver in this part of the country. He's the best poker play CT, too, I ever saw. He is from Ken tuckV tOOS"

A POLAR PHANTOM.
The Grewsome Mystery of Wan
 dering Iceberg.
An Unknown Ship Incased in 6 Mountain of Ice Discovered in the Neigh borhood of Cape
 Horn.

It was a fearsome craft, veritable ancient mariner of a ship that was sighted by Capt. Squirting, of the Brit ish ship Drumcraig, down at the Horn, a few months ago. The story of this weird wanderer of the seas is, accord ing to the San Francisco Examiner, brought here by Capt. Atkinson, who recently arrived by rail to take charge of the British ship Goodrich. He saw Capt. Squirting at Queenstown, and had the tale direct from him.
 The Drumcraig left here six months ago and had speedy run as far as Cape Horn. There the usual westerly winds shifted to dead ahead and a sea full of broken ice, many of the bergs being very large, made navigation troublesome and perilous. One stormy morning just at daybreak, when the snow was falling so thiclzly that it was not possible to see more than a ships length ahead, mountain-like berg drifted past the vessel It was so near, scarcely cables length away, that but for slight mishap, which had just made it necessary to heave to the Drumcraig, the vessel would have col lided with the berg. As it was, the ice mountain came so near that officers and crew all saw the grewsome burden that it bore-a full-rigged bark, with sail all set, frozen into the berg and shrouded in ice from mainmast top to copper bottom.
 The berg and its ice-bound prison CT were fully fifteen minutes drifting past the Drumcraig, and during that time all hands were closely studying the weird apparition. The vessel rest from the water line, and was buried in the ice as far up as her rail. The ice that was frozen over the vessel ap- peared to be two or three feet thick on the side next the observers. Capt. Spur ring thought it could not be more than that, because with his glasses he could easily make out the outlines through the ice and could see that she was of wood and had coppered bottom.
 From the dim outlines he guessed that she was sailing bark of ancient pattern of about the size and appear ance of a New Bedford whaler. But there were left no boats, no davits and not enough of the rigging to decide the question.
 The three masts, the sails, the spars and gear were all shrouded with thick casing of ice, through which only their dark outlines could be seen. Some of the crew imagined they could see bodies of men in the rigging, but Capt. Squirting was doubtful, for his glasses did not increase the resemblance.
 His explanation of the ice-locked mystery is that the vessel must have grounded on a projecting edge of the berg, toppled over against the wall and there rested until it was frozen so fast that no movement of the ice noun tain could dislodge it. Then the ice had gradually grown up around it un- til its imprisonment was complete.
 The neighborhood was suggestive of danger, and the Drumcraig was headed in another direction as quickly as pos sible, and in few minutes the uncan- ny phantom had drifted away toward the southeast into the storm that was strengthening its letters of ice.

Social Signs of the rimes.

Here is an item worthy to be pre- served among the archives of sociology as indicative of the tendency of the times: ''Lost, at the queens drawing-room, Buckingham palace, pocket handkerchief with the letter NJ in diamonds in the corner The finder is requested" etc. Another item tells of woman who, in a spasm of economy, established her own hus- band in plain clothes as footman upon the box. He asserted his independ- ence, however, by smoking a pipe while in discharge of his new duty.

Metallic Tin on Cloth

A new process, invented in Germany, allows brilliant and flexible stratum of tin to be deposited upon cotton fiber. A paste is first made of the powdered zinc of commerce and white of egg and spread on the material by means of brush. This is then coagulated after drying by a current of superheated steam and the tissue is then introduced into bath of perchloride of tin. The metal precipitates on the zinc in fine- ly divided state and after rinsing and drying the cloth it is passed through cylinders or calenders, which give bril- liance to the coat of tin. Beautiful metallic designs may be obtained in this way. It is stated that the process may be substituted entirely for the or dinary method of ornamenting cloth with tinfoil

FRIGHTENED BOLIVIANS.
They Thought an Electric Light Was .
 Spirit.


 Spirit.
 The Bolivian government recently attempted to establish telephone line between Lapas and Lake Titicaca, forty-five miles apart, says the Wash ington Star. It was torn down and de- stroyed so frequently by the Indians that the government was compelled to abandon it. The electric light plant in Lapas was preserved by adopting an ingenious method of overawing the na- tives. After the plant had been in operation but few nights it happened that there was an eclipse of the moon. The superstitious Indians believed that the electric light was absorbing or swallowing the moon. They gathered in large body at one quarter of the town and moved upon the plant to de- stroy it. It was saved only by the in- tervention of a large body of troops. The government the next day selected several representative Indians, took them to the power house, shocked them severely, then took them out along the line and shocked them again with the wires and informed them that the elec- tric light was an evil spirit and that they had better leave it alone. Since then they have had no trouble on that score

SOME ANIMALS PLAY TRICKS.
Sense of the Ridiculous Manifested by Birds and Beasts.

A Sense of the Ridiculous Manifested by Birds and Beasts.
 Among the incidents of jokes played by animals upon one another cited by writer on the animal sense of humor, in the London Spectator, is that of a jackdaw, which, whenever it found it's setter-dog companions asleep, would steal to them and pull at the fluffy tas- sells of hair between their toes-where the animal was more sensitive than in other hairy parts of it's body-unpleas- antly waking them up. At certain house tame magpie was kept in the stableyard with two kestrels. The kestrels were in the habit of sitting on the sides of the water pails that stood outside of the stable doors. At one time the magpie approached a kestrel from behind, seized it's long tail in it's beak, jerked it violently and pushed it over into the pail; but the kestrel aft erward caught the magpie and pun ished it we'll. A cat expressed it's dis like of peacock by jumping through it's spread-out tail when the bird was displaying it's beauty and exhibiting its own vanity, to the great discom- fiture of the fowl. The writer's dog, which was accustomed to hunt ing rabbits, showed it's displeas- ure when it's master shot a bull finch by going into the hedge, fnd- ing rabbit and bringing it to him. Another dog, which knew tame ducks and that they were not hunted, but had no acquaintance with the wild ones, was much disgusted when its master shot teal, believing he had made mistake, and would have noth- ing to do with the game. ''He be- haved in exactly the same way when we shot a black rabbit; nothing would persuade him that it was not cat, and he would do.no serious work for the rest of the day" The writer tells also of dogs that thought it be- heath their dignity to chase rats, ex- cept when their masters were engaged in the sport, and he speaks of the ob- vious dislike of dogs to be laughed at.
