Victoria Has Firty.five Pet Dogs.

The greatest private collection of pet
dogs in the world is said to be that of
her Majesty Queen Victoria of Great
Britain. The Queen has fifty-hve can
inc pets, and they live in the grandest
canine style that ever was known.
Their dining-room is handsomely car
peted, and ornamented with the por-
traits of their celebrated ancestors in
oil and water colors. Some of the pic
lures are adorned with tufts of the
hair which belonged to the departed
pets of her Majesty. The dogs are
proud of their portrait gallery, and
they despise all the low-bred ours of
creation. One of the Queens pleasures
is to make sketches and paint portraits
of her dogs, and many of the pictures
in her canine pantheon are from her
hand. Others have been made by Prince
Albert, the Prince of Wales, and
Princess Louise of Lorne.

the sharpshooters Of the Brandenburg
garrison appeared for the first time
with this novel equipment, One di-
vision was on skates and the other on

fought on the River Spree, near the

Profitable Deadheads.

A man walked up to- the box office
and paid down 500 for two boxes at
that nights performance. The tick
et-seller handed him the coupons and
the man, pocketing them, walked
away, says the New York Sun. A
moment later he returned to the
window:
Il beg your pardon" he exclaimed,
''but would you mind marking these
tickets with the complimentary
punch? It's to decide bet don't
you know" The tickeu-seller'punched
the tickets.
THAT'S an old trick Of that mans, I"
said the ticket-seller. Hes been do
ing that dodge with me for years,
and / suppose he has tried it on at
most Of the other theaters. l have
always humored him, because he is
one of those frauds who are willing
to pay spot cash for their folly. Do
you know why he wants to make out
that those tickets are compliments
ries? 1t is because he Is still a little
VerdaDt and yet wants to- considered
that full blown flower of the metrOp-
Olis-a man about town.
"SOme young woman remarks in
his hearing, i wish l had tickets for
"Charley's Aunt" and Immediately
he exClaims, why, I'll run, down and
see Charlie Frohman-Charlie's an
old friend of mine, you know. He'll
give ME couple of boxes with pleas
ure. You make up party and we'll
gO.'
"Then he goes to the theater, pays
for the boxes, and gets his tickets
punched. Mind you, he is always
careful that his friend shall see those
tickets, He has no desire tO,teknown
as an open hearted chap who is willing
to pay for the amusement of his
friends. The influential dead-head
pose is the height of his. ambition.
With the help OF his punched tickets
he obtains it to a certain degree"

the man who was trnvelInr fnr a

the man who was travelling for a
button factory sagely observed;
ayes, the average farmer is a queer
man. They talk about his cbnhding
disposition, but he hasn't got it. On
the contrary, he suspects everybody
of intent to defraud him in some way. "
well l dunno about that" said
one OF the crowd.
81 think l can prove it to you in
ten minutes, replied the button nan.
"Now, then, look at this watch and
estimate the value"
He handed out watch and chain,
and they were passed from band to
hand. The watch was fine one,
and the chain was solid gold, and the
lowest estimate was 5000, says the
Detroit Free Press.
Il paid $500 in good money for the
outfit, said the man. "One of you
come along into the smoking car and
We'll find a farmer. I'll offer him
watch and chain for $50, and he'll

He started out in company with
the man who had expressed his
doubts, and about the first man they
came to in the smoking car was a
middle-aged farmer who had been to
Cleveland and had two new ak
helves in the seat beside him.
The button man held out the watch
and said: ,
"My friend, I am hard up and want
to sell this stuff, Look at it,"
Don't want it," replied the far
mer.
But must have money. Watch
and chain cost me $500. How much
will you give me?" t'AN
Don't want to buy"
"Rut take them in your hand and
examine them. Even a child could
estimate their value. ought to get
at least half cost, but as l want $50
awfully bad right away, this minute,
I'll make that the price. You may
take me for travelling sharper, but
| assure you"---
"You needn't assure me tall" in
terupted the farmer. 81 think l
know an honest man when l see one. {"
"Thanks. Then you are not sus-
picious of me?" ct
"Not mite"
Sand you'll take the watch and
chain at $5OP"
81 will" replied the farmer as he
slipped them into his pocket and felt
for his calfskin. "Just got paid for
my wool to-day, and here's your cash.
l see you've got a diamond pin on
your tie. l can't tell diamond from
rhinestone, but I'm willing to
chance $25 on it, Has the other Teller
got anything for sale cheap9p!
1t had to be explained to the far
mer that it all come about on a
wager, but he was pig-headed about
1t, and the button man had to hand
him $40 bill before he would call
the bargain off. .5} ,nla if-
"You contended that the farmer
hadn't a cOntldln' disposition, did
you?" queried the toiler, as henocket-

Millions OF Dollars sent TO China.
Congressman Hilborn, of California.
delivered his maiden speech at Wash

Chinese in this country. All the money

nese population of the United States
was l05, 465; in California it was IS, 132.
In 1890 the total population was 1884,
475, showing total gain of population
in the United States of 2,0l0. The
Chinese population in California is
72,724, showing falling off in our par
ticular State They seem to have
turned their faces eastward. In New
York in 1870 there were only 20 China
men; in 1880, 900; in 1890, 1885. In
Pennsylvania in 1870 there were ID; in
