Conventional rules are most useful III
intercourse with strangers, and this feel
ing, the result of deliberate reflection
among men, seems quite as well under
stood by animals. The number Of steps
which prince or ambassador might ad-
vance TO meet the other without derogat-
ing from his dignity, and the frequent
halts and bows, find Il parallel in the
amusing form of canine etiquette, when
one dog "spies IA stranger" at distance
The first dog stops short, then trots on a
little, then crouches and finally lies fiat
down, with its nose on its paws, like a
skirmisher ordered to open fire ON the
enemy. The other dog, which was less
quick sighted, sometimes lies down, too,
but more usually trots slowly up, with
occasional halts.
The action of the first seems clearly to
be survival of n time when dog nat
urally crouched in order to conceal itself
the moment it saw any other creature
which might hurt it or which, on the
contrary, it might want to stalk The
sudden drop is something like that Of a
setter when Creeping" up OH to the
birds, but more like the crouch Of the
fox when it sees hare or wants to con-
ceal itself from persons whom it sees
while it is still unseen. But now it is
observed rs pure convention, one which
is obviously mere show, but to omit
which would be a breach of canine ETH
quette which might and sometimes docs
lead to a fight. Spectator.

PERHAPS the most interesting by
product of the Horr- Harvey debates
says an exchange, is the discovery
that since the revival of the gold
mining industry in 1892 an extra
ordinary proportion of the gold
product of the world has been
secreted somewhere or other, and
has disappeared from sight. Sauer-
back, who is reliable, figures that
since 1892, Austria, Russia and
France have absorbed and sailed
down for the eventualities of war
something like $2I5, 600, 600 of gold
coin which has in part disappeared
from circulation. Had the fact
been generally known, gold would
have gone to premium-as many
have expected-or the price
silver would have fallen still lower
than it is.

A Run Of Luck which Enriched an Im

A Run Of Luck which Enriched an Im-
pecunious Gambler.
Some years ago, when gambling -four
ished in Washington, two of the most
enthusiastic votaries Of faro were old
Bill Lunsford and Adam Koch. They
usually buckcd the animal together, and
when they had winning streak the |
bank proprietor was apt to walk the |
floor nervously, and there would be shift |
ing Of dealers every quarter Of an hou
or so. When the tickle goddess frowneu
upon them, however, there was joy l.
the heart Of the man who carried the
roll, and pheasants and venison were liza
| BILE to mark the next nights supper
They always played the limit, which
was &25 to eases" in most Of the rooms
in thoir day, whether their luck was
good or bad, and consequently they won
big money or lost their stakes In short
order.
One night Koch went up into Jones
place, over Charlie Godfrey's saloon, on
L street, without cent in his pocket
Lunsford was spread out before the faro
table, with red chips at $l.25 apiece
stacked up in front of him and stacks
covering the case cards ON the board. He
was tipsy and unsociable, and when Koch
suggested the loan Of couple Of stacks
he was met with a stormy refusal.
} He sat down and watched the play, how.
ever, and at last Lunsford, who was
calling for small bottle every other
turn, got drunken and put pile Of chips
, on the king; Of which only one had
shown. In moment two kings followed
each other in the deal, and Jim Davis,
who was dealing, took down half of
} Lunsford's bet. In doing so he found the
latter had put 10 chips instead Of 90 on
the card, and consequently he left nine
} chips and split or half a check, on it.
J Lunsford was wild. He hated split
| worse than any gambler who ever played
a system, and he turned on Koch.
! "You wanted a stake, durn you, and
! now you can have it, he exclaimed,
l and he threw the split at Koch. Tho
I latter coolly picked up the 62la cent?
and put it on a card 1t won. He shifted
5 the chip to another place, and it wor
! again. Here and there he moved thu
I c,.,r9 over the table, now copperint
, them and now playing them open, ant
j every time he won. At the end Of TIN
4 deal he had $50. At the end Of the mex
Z he had $245. The news got out on til
y street that Adam Koch had struck
4 winning streak This was enough t,
crowd Jones' place with curious and e..
Z cited spectators. At midnight Koch WI
, 81 400 ahead Of the game. At o'clccl
4 in the morning he arose and called 70
bottle Of wine and paid the boy witt
2 n $40 bill out of roll containing jus
, $4,000 That was the luckiest gambl
4 ever known in Washington. And Lunf
4 ford went broke trying to copper Koch

There are numbers of villages in Rus
STA in which begging is the staple indus
try. No one does anything else. 1t il
stated in the labor commission report on
that country that "nearly 5000 out Of
the 8, 800 persons in the districts Of In
Ear and Saransk are beggars, and that
the whole population of the village OF
Marinin live by means of begging. And
these are by no means isolated cases. In
many other districts precisely the same
style of things prevails.
In real beggars' village all the in
habitants, including even the starosts
and other local digliitaries, are enrolled
in a company, which is divided into
parties. These parties 90 out in turn on

back is regarded as common property,
and the population depends upon it foI
their support. Good Words.

Every part OF a Rambler Bicycle is
manufactured by Gormully x Jeffrey at
their factory, Chicago, and are not
bought from different makers all over
the country who make Bicycle parts by
the thousands and sell them by the ton.
Intending purchasers will do well to
think over this and beware Of the freak
bicycle with one makers tires and an
other makers saddle and another's hand
die bars and pedals, ETC., and brand it as
low grade in spite Of the fact that the
dealer is asking n high grade price for IT,
Before purchasing wheel consult the
experienced riders OF the different makes
OF wheels in town and get their opinion,
they are the ones that know thing or
two about wheels.
Rambler Bicycles are all one quality
and all one price and the price is very
little more than they are asking for
second grade wheels in town.

A book of Mark Twain's that
is seldom mentioned is The
Golden Age" 1t was written
in collaboration with Charles
Dudley Warner and is by |
many regarded as one of the
very best works of the Ian
guage. The play of "Col. Sci
lers" in which the actor John I.
Raymond made such a great
success, was taken from "The
Golden Age" Perhaps the
public has thought there was
little in the book besides Col.
Sellers. This is a great mis-
take. Col. Sellers is merely
one of score of characters.
The real feature is its story of
Washington life. Half of the
best sketches on lobbying and
the workings of the depart
ments of the government of
the United States are cribbed
from "The Golden Age"
Mark Twain is a living exam
plar of the truism that few of
the good writers have any
business ability. He became
a partner in a big publishing
house and all hands made
money off his work. The COM
pany brought out the Grant
memoirs and thought it had a
diamond field with a free mill
ing gold quartz quarry on the
side. The memoirs of Sherman
and Sheridan did not take at
all and the company failed. In
the general wreck the claims
were lodged against Mark
Twain and he was shorn like a
sheep by machinery. The per
manent financial successes o
p life are not a great many
e This is probably because Sc
many of them fail to figure
o that there is really such thins
: as a money market.

THREE DEAD.
One of the Worst Fires, as to
Loss Of Life, in Toledo.
Roundhouse Of the Wabash Railroad
Co. Goes Up in Smoke.
Besides the Three Killed Eight Others
Were Injured by the Failing Walls
The Money Loss VIII Amount to
Between S75,O 900 and 100000.

TOLEDO, o., March 1S.--0ne of the
most disastrous fires in the way of loss
of human life that this city has ever
experienced broke out shortly after 10
o'clock Sunday morning in the round
house of the Wabash Railway Co. The
damage to property was comparatively
small, but three men lost their lives,
two being instantly killed, and nine
others were more or less injured. One
of them, John O'Leary, a machinist,
will likely die from his injuries.
All of the dead except John Bowen
were employees of the Wabash. They
constituted the company's fire depart
ment for the protection of the shops,
and were engaged in fighting the
flames when they lost their lives
The roundhouse is located at the
foot of South street 1t was a substan-
tial brick structure, with capacity of
twenty engines and contained six To-
comotives when the fire broke out. The
flames were first seen in the cupola
shortly after 10 o'clock. An alarm was
tclephoned to the city fire department,
and in the meantime the yard COM
pany got one stream to playing on the
blaze, which soon made its way to the
roof The walls of the building were
believed to be secure, and the brave
little band of fire fighters pressed
closely in toward the building, the
more effectively to combat the spread
ing flames.
1t was seen that the roof would soon
fall, but no danger was apprehended
from that source until, to the horror
cf the assembled spectators, the south
west wall, weakened by the destruc-
tion of the frame supports which con-
nected it with the roof, was observed
to tremble and suddenly fall out on
the volunteer firemen. Before the ma
jority of the men could realize their
peril the heavy wall was on them,
burying them under heapof smoking
debris. All but Bowen, Preston
and Bohlman were quickly taken out.
/ The two first named were completely
covered by the ruins of the wall,
iohlman was little more fortunate.
From out of the smoking heap the
manmled bodies of Bowen and Preston
were taken. They were beyond need
/ of human care. Bohlman was still
alive, although unconscious, but he
! succumbed to his injuries shortly after
/ being taken home.
A dozen surgeons were quickly sum
moncd, and prompt assistance was
rendered the injured. 0Leary, the
nachinist, was still unconscious, and
a; one time appeared to .beI sinking.
He rallied temporarily, but it is not
thought he can recover.
The loss is estimated ut from $75, 900
to 500, OoO and is believed to be fully
insured.
! While on the way to the fire Driver
James, of No. hose, was thrown from
the cart and badly shaken up.
