remarkable story Told by the Son of the
California Millionaire.
Charles Fair, the only male heir to the
late James G. Fair, sat in the billiard
room of the Palace hotel talking to
some pioneer friends of his father.
DO you know, Charley, that book
OF "reminiscences of your father would
sell like hot cakes? You ought to put
the data in the hands of some publisher
and let him issue the volume. What
do you think about it?''
The son smiled and looked up at the
talller, as he replied:
why don't you do it?''

the publishing ideas. q didn't know

Neither did l." answered Charles.
"Nobody knew him. [ don't think a
man ever lived who enjoyed his con-
fidence. l can assure you that he was
the same strange man to me that he
was to others, and his iron rule to keep
his own counsel was never broken.
whenever he did fall into a con-
fidential and chatty mood it was to Jest
about something or to theorize. | re-
call story he once told Alfred e.
Davis, his old partner. The story
have in mind was woven into a serious
conversation, and he never cracked a
smile over it. Before proceeding. how
ever. l must tell you that in the Conn.,
stock mines a ladder goes down the
side of each shaft, and every twelfth
rung is iron, so as to give the whole
additional strength. Well, father said
to him:
Davis, do you know I was almost
killed once in the Grow Point mine?'
How was that, Jim?'
This way. l was looking down
the shaft to see if everything was all
right and lost my balance. Being I'M
able to recover myself, l toppled over
and fell-yes, Davis, fell. [ must have
gone about Il hundred feet when it
suddenly struck me that if | didn't be-
gin doing something pretty quick l
would go clear through to hades. So

the ladder. 1t broke and [ grabbed the
next. That broke, too, but reached
for the third, which also gave way, and

"'What did you do, Jim, when you
came to the twelfth rung? Did you

why. | missed it. Do you think I
wanted to smash everything that was
in the mine?'"
When Charles finished his story he
was laughing more heartily than any
one else in the crowd, and could not
be prevained upon to recall anything
more that had come from the lips of
his famous financial father.-San Fran

WhaI May Be Expected to Take Place In

Now and then the best regulated cleo
trlc road loses the subtle current, and
its cars are brought to a standstill.
There is a regular programme for such
occasions. 1t begins with dude on the
right hand seat near tho front door, He
ceases to nlbble at the head of his cane,
readJusts his hat and eyeglasses and
carefully tiptoes down the aisle and out
Of the rear door, He doesn't exactly
look at the conductor nor speak to him,
but as he drops to the pavement he
turns and feelingIy exclaims:
"Ah, bal Jove, but how long will

ct, We knaw?''
Next on the programme is the fussy
woman who is on her way to q store to
exchange pair OF stockings for two
sizes larger. She is impatient for fear
the large sizes will be snapped up be-
fore she can get there. She hangs on
for minute, hoping it is false alarm,
but when she sees the conductor and
motorman assuming positions which
should be labeled, ''Only waiting" she
rises up and makes for the door. On the
platform she catches the, eye of the con-
ductor and gives him a look which
makes him tired all day, but she does
not speak. She dare not trust herself to
stop there and tell him her inmost
thoughts, and he's heap glad that such
is the case.

CURIOUS BEOSTEADs.
One Made OF Gold and Another of G1ass
An Electric Bed.

! Ono Made of Gold anu Another of Csl25S
An Electric Bed
Although the majority of mankind is
content with the conventional bedstead,
manufactured either from wood iron
or brass. there exist certain indi viduals
whose tastes. as regards this necessary
article of domestic furniture, are by no
means SO simple.
Such, for instance, was the Partisan
gentleman who short time ago ordered
from a firm in Paris a golden bedstead,
every part of which, even down to the
laths, was made of this precious metal.
At first sight this certainly looks like a
piece of understandable extravaganza,
vet who knows but that the gentleman
locked upon it in the nature of an in
vestment, which he could at any mo-
ment realize if he felt so inclined?
Equally uncommon was the bedstead
which an old lady, who certainly had
only tasted the Pierian spring Of scien-
tifio knowledge. ordered to be construct
ed for her use. She had read somewhere
that glass insulators placed under tho
casters Of bedstead We're conducive to
the retention Of electricity in the body,
and SO she argued that bedstead COM
posed entirely Of glass would prove a
still better contrivance. Accordingly
she had such a glass bedstead construct
ed, which OH completion proved to be
by no means an inartistic piece of fur
niture.
Apropos of electricity, early in the
present century DR.. Grahame, quack,
who made and lost large fortune over
the Temple of Hygiene, was in the
habit Of selling electric bedsteads at the
price of 5000 apiece, the property of
which beds, he advertised was to re-
juvenate the persons who slept in them
as we'll as to give them beauty and
health.
AS a matter of fact, these bedsteads
were nothing more than ordinary brass
ones, with a battery attached while all
that could be said in their favor was
that they We're perfectly harmless.
But by far the most curious kinds of
bedsteads are to be found in what we
may term mechanical bedsteads, which
some people of eccentric habits have
from time to time ordered to be made.
A retired sea captain who, although
not actually mentally deranged, was
what one may call "on the borderland, -
declared to his friends that he could not
sleep unless he felt the motion of the
sea. Night after night this unfortunate
gentleman kept awake, thereby causing
considerable damage to his health. At
last it occurred to his medical adviser
that something might be done in order
to produce, by mechanical means, the
movement which his patient SO much
desired. A consultation with q practical
engineer resulted III the production of
a bedstead which, by means of machin-
cry, moved the mattress upon which the
captain was to sleep up and down, pro-
ducing in every way the effect so much
desired. This bedstead proved a great
success, and the captain was no longer
troubled with insomnia. New York

Jenny Lind'S Voice.

Jenny Lind's voice, at its best, was
high soprano of bright and remark
ably sympath etic quality, reaching from
D below to F in alt, the upper register
being stronger, clearer and richer than
the lower. She had also very large,
well developed lungs that gave her
phenomenal length of breath and en-
abled her to tone down note to the
finest pianissimo while maintaining the
quality unchanged. Her execution was
really marvellous, and her performance
of cadenza passages was never equaled
before or since. She usually invented
her own cadenzas and modified them in
way that electrified not only the or
binary audience, but the most highly
cultured musicians also. Nothing like
the furore she excited had ever been
known before in England or America.
People were known to stand in line for
"a hours to have an opportunity to pur-
chase, at an extravaganza rate. a ticket
