RICHES OF NORTHERN SWEDEN.

building Of q railway. The Northern
trunk line is now complete. and has
been opened by the king. He is said
TO be Sweden's abIest orator, and he

the northernmost railroad in The world.

Where does he live?" was the next
question. to which the woman wrote
no reply. but indicated with her hand

Charities In London.

The income of merely the principal
charitable institutions having their
headquarters in London amounts to
over $1,000, 900 per arnurn, or So, 0O0,-
600. That represents sum equal to
half the whole capital invested in the
Bank of England. Itexceeds the total
revenues of all the British colonies to-
gether in 1854, and it is as much as the
total annual revenues of all the Brit.
ish colonies, including New South

is added to this sum the income of the

NOlSElESS ROYSTERERS.

Trio of Mutes.

Trio of Mutes.
Three men went out on a quiet drunk
the other night, says the Kansas City
Times. They drank early and often.
In the descriptive parlance OF the north
end they made night of it." Unlike
the ma jority of men, the more intoxi-
Gated they became the less they
talked" They were mutes, all three
of them, deaf mutes. They visited the
saloons of the nor tn end and imbibed
copious libatiOns of the extract of malt.
They lined up be fore bar and chatted
to each other on their finger ends, and
drank and smiled and smiled and
smiled. Words were written in the air
with startling rapidity early in the
evening, but as the night wore away
the insidious something that steals
through ones system after repeated it
erations to the white-aproned monarch
to I'LL EN- up again." began to tell on
the mutes. Their fingers began to grow
thick" and did not readily respond to
their owners will as was their wont in
periods of sobriety. Toward midnight
1t became plainly apparent that their
artificial source Of expressing their
thoughts was losing its integrity, also
Its photography. This fact pleased the
mutes- They looked as if they would
like to whoop a few times in defiance
of the police and the public But as
this pleasure was denied them, they
pounded the bar and nodded to the bar
tender to fill the glasses again. But
the deaf-mute humanity wears out the
same as the ether kind, and shortly be-
fore dawn stole down from the Sni
hills they dropped off into sound and
uubroken slumber. Then only they
became audible Their sleeping could
be heard.

was talking with an egg and butter
merchant a short time ago when a
tough-loolling citizen jumped off of a
passing truck and rushed in with a
pair of gold spectacles, or what APP
peared to be, in his hand, and glibly
said:

"They look like gold, man"
Maybe they are" says the man,
hastily snatching them away, as if he
had suddenly conceived the idea.
Anyhow" says he, they ought to be
worth a dollar and half-I'u give EN-
to you for fifty cents, say"
He passed them to me. saw at
once they were the commonest kind of
ordinary glass in a brass frame.
They are worth just one dollar a
dozen" said l.
And the man looked daggers at me,
but snealIed out without a word. This
is an old trick, played usually in a
crowded street.
That's nothing" said the egg and
butter man, laughing, Ito the trick
played on me some time ago. Two
men stopped in front of my store with
4 light delivery wagon, and one of the
men rushed in and called me by name,
asked me how business was. and so on.
Il didn't recognize the man, and
looking out of the window to get some
caught glimpse of the latter being
slowly driven up street. Still | sup
posed it was some fellow / had had
business dealings with.
Look here says he. I've got
couple of fine cheeses in my wagon
two more than our list calls for deliv-
cry Now, don't say anything, but you
can get them dog cheap
Il told him didn't do that kind of
business But he says: All right
Your neighbors will And | knew
they'would. too, and l says: Hold on.
And he came back. Bring EN- in
says l. and III see He brought EN-
in.
They looked all right and weighed
all right, and ought TO have been worth
eight dollars each. took one and
gave him four dollars Without my
asking il, he bad thrust in his knife
and twisted it around and brought out
the center of the cheese, and it was
sound and good.
But the man was in such hurry.
and the more thought of il the more
singular it looked. And | guess my
conscience pricked me little, for be-
gan to think 1t was the same as buy
ing stolen goods Still, l wanted
good cheese.
Il sent out for tester and thrust II
through the cheese and brought out
well. the worst stuff you ever saw II
wasn't worth anything, Then ] saw
that this thing had been plugged and

nicely you couldn't see it unless you
