Not long ago a passenger on an
ocean steamer folded up his iron deck
chair before retiring, and as the night
was stormy left it in the pilothouse.
The man at the wheel presently be-
gan to be aware of something wrong
with the compass, and before the de
linquent deck chair was bounced on
the ship was half an hour out of her
course. An equally well authenticat-
ed case is that OF a learned professor
who took his head student out test
ing one day. 1t was winter time, and
as a cold wind blew through the sta
ton the head student kept on his hat
while taking insulation readings.
The result showed an unprecedented
degree of insulation-one, in fact,
greater than infnity, and the profess
on as well as the student was amazed
and mystified. The former, however,
repeated the test and obtained results
much less creditable to the firm who
supplied the cables, but still very
good. The student had ignored the
fact that the felt hat he wore was
stiffened with a steel wire in the
brim. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

An Estate Obtained Through a Pun.


Land transfer has lost a great deal
of the simplicity which characterized
the operation in the olden time. The
pleasant land of BOSNIAN, in Sussex,
once belonged to the archbishop of
Canterbury, but was much coveted
by Earl Goodwin, supporter of the
last of the Saxon kings, whose treas
ury was unfortunately too empty to
purchase it. He obtained the place
by novel system of land transfer.
His lordship. attended a great cere-
mony in the archbishop's cathedral,
followed by his retainers, and, &C
cording to time honored custom, said
TO his grace, "Da mihi basium, -"
meaning, Give me the kiss of peace, ="
only, instead of saying "basium, he
ingeniously substituted the provin-
cial pronunciation of Bosnian. The
archbishop gracefully replied, DO
tibi basium, which, being interpret
ed, is, II give thee the kiss" which
he did. But Goodwin cried, Thou
hast given me Bosnian, to which all
his retainers cried, Why, cert'nly,"
and the whole crew at once rode off
to take possession of the pleasant
Sussex territory, The archbishop
could not help himself and allowed
the transfer to go. The law has
greatly complicated matters since
then. London Telegraph.

The Duebess OF Marlborough.

To draw Sarah jennings character
is no easy task. AS she was when a
girl, so she remained as a mother, as
Queen Anne's favorite, as wife to the
greatest man of his day and in old
age as his widow. Neither time nor
increased knowledge of the world
ever changed or in any way softened
her. She was essentially an unimag-
NATIVE, unimpressionable woman,
with no illusions about men or about
events either human or divine, and
without sentiment of any kind, ex-
cept perhaps where her husband was
concerned.
The dukes love for her was deep,
pure, unselfish and passionate. All
his letters, meant for no eye but
hers, breathe the same loverlike de-
votion. They make the reader feel
that from first to last his one great
dread was that she might case to love
him. She did love him sincerely, but
in her own naughty and tigerlike
fashion. There was nothing demon
strative about her affection, but such
as it was she gave him her whole
heart. In most of the relations of
life they were both egotistical and
covetous, yet their marriage was alb
solutely uninfiuenced by mercenary
considerations. Their mutual attach
ment was stronger even than their
undoubted worldliness. - Life of

The Progress of Woman.

1t one thing to get q good servant
and another to keep her. A lady liv
ing on North Pennsylvania street
was amazed yesterday to have q
strange lady ring the bell and in,
quire if her servant was at home.
Upon being informed that she was
out, the stranger said:
well, do you mind asking her to
come to my house this EVENING" /
want to see if she will come and work
for me-"
The mistress said very emphatical-
ly she did mind, so the stranger said
well, I'll just sit on the porch
next door, then, and wait till she
comes back. What do you pay her,
please' l suppose I'll have to offer
her more than she gets here"
And she sat on the porch and wait
ed for the servants return, and the
mistress thinks it outranked any bold
piracy she had ever read of.-Indian-

The Cont Isn,t Appreciated.

The relations of the goat to man.
kind are i'll certain ways peculiar.
The creature has long been subju-
gated, probably having come into the
human family before the dawn of
history. 1t has been almost as wide
ly disseminated, among barbarian
and civilized peoples alike, as the
sheep. 1t readily cleaves to the
household and exhibits much more
intelligence than the other members
of our tlocks and herds. 1t yields
good milk, the flesh is edible, though
in the old animals not savory, and
the hair can be made to vary in a
larger measure than any of our ami
mails which are shorn. Yet this crea-
ture has never obtained the place in
relation TO man TO which it seems en-
titled. -Scribner's.

The council met yesterday morning
with President Teed in the chair.
Mr.. Crowell appeared before the coun-
Gil and asked that the zanja committee
and city engineer be instructed to con-
fer with the directors OF Rosedale ceme-
terry and V. Ponet regarding an arrange
ment to secure water from Westlake
park for irrigation purposes, inasmuch
as the west branch zanja had been closed
by the contractor grading In the south
west part of the city.
Mr.. Ponet spoke on the same point,
saying that he would have a heavy pili
Tor damages for loss of trees in case he
did not get water very shortly. He had
been using the city water for IS years,
and 1t was an injustice to deprive him
of it now.
The matter was referred to the zanja
committee.
Mayor Rowan returned to the coun-
Gil, without his approval, the ordinance
OF intention for the repairing OF Fifth
street. between Main and San Pedro
streets. The vote on the ordinance WAS
reconsidered, and the ordinance was
placed ON file.
TIE UNEMPLOYED PETITION.
The petition OF A. Vinette and 425
others of the unemployed. which was
published in the HERALD Sunday, was
presented, asking for work at $3.50 per
day, or asking for work to osupply rations
for march to Washington.
Mr.. Inuea-I am not aware that the
council made any promise to supply
work.
Mr.. Munson-Ws did not make any
promise to give work to anyone.
The herald., 1894-03-27

Mr.. Vnette-On the day the army
left for Washington there were still 800
left, and after the joint session OF the
council and the supervisors, Mr.. Hazard
came to ne and said We have decided to
allow no one to starve, and will provide
work for you. After working he said it
was proposed to give the men two days
rstiona for one days work. On Wednes-
day they found the chaingang at work.
There was no work. They came sgain
and got three 5-cent meal tickets. On
Friday they again made application for
work and got neither meal tickets or
work. We now ask you as the city
council what you can do for these huu-
cry, unemployed men. II you can't
care for them let them go to Washing.
ton.
Mr.. CampbelI-Do you suppose that
we are elected to provide meals for an
army to march to Washington2
Mr.. Vinetts-I know that lawyers say
that it would not be right or proper to
let unemployed men who are willing to
work go without food.
DR.. Campbell-I understand that the
city funds available for this purpose
have been exhausted. The people OF
my ward are opposed to this idea OF
marching to Washington. We are will
ing to do all in our power as individuals
to endeavor to provide work for worthy
unemployed men.

adopted. The report of the city clerk

A SINGULAR MAN.

He Produces Over $4,000 From vari-
Gus Pockets.
There were several persons whose eyes
became big as saucers yesterday in
Judge York's court during the examin-
alton of Thomas ]. Partridge, an old
Arizona blacksmith, on a charge of in
sanity.
He WAS brought into court upon the
complaint of Samuel A. Bradford, an
elderly friend of his of II years. stand
ing.
The old fellow presented very ordin-
ary appearance. His clothes were poor
and his hands knottedgwith toll.
His old friend told Drs. Wernigh and
Davisson how Mr.. Partridge had come
here only few days ago, and had begun
to act queerly.
When he had finished his story, Mr..
Partridge, who had dazed look, was
asked if his friend was stating what was
40. He replied that it was.
Mr.. Bradford kept stating that his
friend had lots OF money on his person,
and finally, at the request of Assistant
District Attorney Ryan,. he began to
haul out money from various pockets.
The money consisted of certificates of
deposit on the British Bank of North
America, OF San Francisco, one OF them
alone being for $4,000. He had also
checks and currency, which brought the
amount up to little over $4,000.
When all this wealth was checked off
the old blacksmith asked if he could
not send some to his father and mother.
The court decided that he WAS not
insane, but Mr.. Partridge could not get
out of his head the idea that those
present were more entitled to the con-
troll OF his money than himself
1t was finally decided to put the
money in the Farmers and Merchants
bank, and keep the patient in the county
Jail for day or two. to see what his
condition would then be.
He has been working in one place for
15 years pest, and came to the city for
medical treatment.

that one of the defendants in the Tem-
pie street case had petitioned the court

the court had granted the prayer and
the proceedings were at an end. He
estimated that the costs would amount
