Reforming a Tramp.

The experiment Of reforming tramp
is in process in Indianapolis. One OF
the species applied at a doctors house
for help The woman of the house re-
fused him aid unless he worked. He
consented to do anything and she took
him to the kitchen, where he was set to
doing the weeks washing. He stag
gered bit at first, but manfully over
came his natural aversion to water and
work. This so impressed the doctor
that situation at SO per week was
secured for him. The first week s
wages was lost from hole in his pocket
but out of tie second weeks pay he re-
turned money loaned to tide him over

Rare Jewels.

The Empress Elizabeth of Austria
possesses collection of jewels probably
surpassed only by that of the Empress
of Russia. Besides the family gems,
which are passed on from one empress
to the next, and are preserved in the
imperial treasury, the Empress pos
sesses collection of jewels which have
been presented to her by, the Emperor
and by foreign princes, valued at 4,ooo,.
600 or 100000 marks. The collection
was catalogued and value estimated
twenty-six years ago, an operation
which took six days to accomplish. The
most beautiful of the ornaments is a
necklace of three rows of. pearls, which
the Empress received from the En-
peror after the birth of the Clown
Prince Rudolph. These were at that
time estimated at $1,000 gulden. Now
they are worth 100000 gulden; as the
pearl fisheries in Ceylon and Malabar
are steadily declining. The Empress
Elizabeth no longer possesses all the
Jewels she had in 1866. Many of them
have been presented to her daughters
md friends

A Grass Covered Vessel.

The bark Helen w. Amy, which ar
rived at San Francisco Friday from Fan
ming Island, brought a strange story.
When off the island February rs she
sighted small schooner, which, after
great deal Of effort, ran under her lee
and showed a flag of most peculiar de-
sign, the like of which was never seen
before 1t was in two pieces, and the
lower half was stripes from the Ameri-
can flag, while the upper half looked
like black pennant. The vessel had
been white once, but her sides were
covered with grass. The mainsail ap-
peared to be new, and as tor the fore
sail there was only half of one, and that
was all patched and holes, The name
of the little craft could not be made out,
as she kept respectful distance from
the bark. Capt. Luttrel thought he
recognized in her the twenty-five ton
schooner Ebon, whose skipper, Capt.
Cameron, disappeared from the Gil
berts early in 1893, leaving some heavy
creditors. Cameron and his schooner
was afterwards heard of in the
Marshall islands,

A Few Things to Avoid.

Never call upon people just at bed
time, or during dinner, or before they
are downstairs in the morning.
Never stop people who are hurryine
along the street and detain them for ten
or twenty minutes.
Never, when you see two people en-
gagged in earnest talk, step in and enter
upon miscellaneous conversation.
Never begin to talk about ''this, that
and everything' to one who is trying to
read the morning paper, or a book, or
anything else.
Never fail to keep an appointment.
Never inconvenience people by COM
ing in late at church, theater, lecture or
concert.
Never delay in answering letters or
returning books.
Never tell long stories of which you
yourself are the hero.
Never speak disrespectfully Of your
parents, nor of your sisters. People
may laugh at your wit, but they will de-
spise you for it.
Never talk when others are singing or
doing anything else for your amuse-
ment, and never, the instant they have
finished, begin to talk upon different

TAKING DOWN THE FERRIS WHEEL
The Great Worlds Fair Revolver to Go
To Nav

The Great Worlds Fair Revolver to Go
to New York.
The work of taking down the Ferris
wheel on the Midway Plaisance has
been begun. It will take ten weeks to
take the wheel to pieces. Fifty men
began the work and several hundred
will be employed before the last bolt is
drawn. The car that was used for car
rying the Krupp gun will be used for
the seventy-ton axle. The material
will be taken in five trains OF thirty
cars each to New York City. There are
5000 tons of metal in the wheel and
100000 feet of timber is needed for the
false work. Taking the wheel down
will be more dangerous than putting it
up. Onl;, one lite was lost in erecting
tie big attraction.
The expense of taking down, moving,
and rebuilding the wheel will he $780,
900. In New York it is to be placed at
Thirty seventh Street and Broadway.
Old Vienna will be reproduced around
it. Here the wheel had 5000 electric
lights; in New York the number will be
doubled. The old Ferris Wheel Com
pany goes out of existence and a new
company composed of New York men
has been formed.
during the Fair the Wnee1 Went
around 10000 times and carried 100000
passengers. The largest single load was
carried October 10, when at 1890 o'clock
l,76S people were in the cars. The
largest days business was October 10,
when $4,000 people were carried. Oc-
tober 8, 10 and IL there were ia, 600
passengers, the largest average for any
three days. Legal complications arose
over percentage of the receipts, and
the matter is still in the courts.

The Fair Model Is Still Living and Teach
ing IL kindergarten school.
"Did you ever think now the head of
Liberty on the silver dollar in common
use to-day was obtaiEed?" inquired
George L. Goodrich, Philadel phia
drummer, of the corridor man at the
Lindeli, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. I'm 1876 the Treasury De-
partment Of the United States engaged
an engraver by the name Of Morgan to
prepare q design for the Bland dollar
this work Mr.. Morgan visited several
art institutions to obtain a correct idea
of American beauty, as he wished to
produce upon the coin a representative
female head. He tried ideal heads
at first, but the result was not salts
factory. Finally he concluded to find,
If possible, an American girl who would
sit for her portrait. This was no easy
matter, and it was sometime before he
found the face he wanted. The next
thing was to get the consent of the
young lady, who was school teacher in
the CITY,
'He obtained an introduction, and
after much persuasion gained the
young lady's consent. Then began a
series of prosecutions, which the I'M
fortunate model endured for many a
day. Offers of marriage came pouring
in by mail, artists offered her great in
ducements for a sitting, and her school
became thronged with visitors. Her
great popularity did not turn her head,
however, but she kept right on with
her work, and to-day holds a prominent
position in kindergarten work, while
her picture is carelessly handled by
millions daily"

A Useful Tree.

The cocoa palm is the most useful tree
on earth. Fresh water is procured
from the nut before it is ripe, a single
sample often containing three or four
pounds of clear water, almost pure,
save for a little sugar; the nut. when
ripe, is very nutritious; the milk from
the ripe nut isa good substitute for that
of the COW; the young buds make good
cabbage and greens; wine is made from
the sap and flower stalks, and its fer
mentation and distiIlation produces
vinegar and brandy; the nutshells fur
nish utensils and from the ibers are
made all sorts of clothing, textile
fabrics and even the sails, ropes and
other cordage of ships; itsjuices furnish
ink and it's leaves pens and paper.

STRANGE CAPTIVITY.
Herds of Springbok in Africa Sweep
Everything Before Them.


The springbok of South Africa migrate
in vast herds, moving in compact
body, and carrying everything before
them. If flock of sheep be in the
line of march las it sometimes happens)
it is surrounded, enveloped, and be-
comes, willingly or unwillingly, part of
the army. An African hunter tells the
strange story of seeing lion in the
midst of the antelopes, forced to join
the march. It is supposed that the lion
had sprung too far for his prey, that
those upon whom he alighted recoiled
sufficiently to allow him to reach the
ground, and then the pressure from
both TANKS and the rear prevented him
from escaping from his strange cap
tivity.
If the springbok travels in such arm
les, how can those in the middle and
rear find food? In this wise: Those in
the front ranks, after they have eaten
greedily Of the pasture, gradually fall
out of the ranks to rest, while the hun
cry ones in the rear come up, and so
the columns are all the while changing.

New Question for the Courts.

The first suit of the kind ever brought
in New York state has been begun in
the Kings County supreme court to de-
termine whether a trolley company. is
responsible for fatal accident resulting
from a horse becoming frightened by
one of it's cars. Mrs. Charles Constan-
tine, her two children and woman
were driving in village cart in Fiskhili
on September II, 1892, when a trolley
car came up behind them, Although
the cart was not on the railway track,
but in the roadway, the motorman as
he approached rang his gong SO vlgor,,
and ran away. The cart collided with a
watering cart in the street and Mrs.
Constantine's 2-year-old boy, Collins,
sustained injuries from which he died.

A Remarkable Sand Dune.

There is a remarkable sand dune near
the lighthouse at Cape Henry, at the
mouth of Chesapeake Bay. The sand
from the beach has been piled up
nearly 200 feet at an easy slope on the
ocean side, but on the island side it de-
sends in an almost sheer precipice
and particles of sand blown up the slope
fall over the edge and are spread far
and wide by the wind. 1t is supposed
that the precipice-like peculiarly. of
the mound is due to the action of con-
flicting wind currents that blow about
the cane
