The jailer has to resort to all sorts of
expedients at times to get inebriated pris-
oners TO go quietly into the cellroom. OF
course when prisoner is helpless he is
carried in, but often he is only half drunk,
he is quarrelsome or very particular, and
as IL is not desired to use force to get such
a one behind the bars he is led into the
cellroom much as a child is coaxed to bed.
Not long ago one of these supersensitive
gentlemen was brought in hardly able to
stand. After he had been booked he was
invited into the jailroom. Instead Of ac-
cepting he sat down and declared his UNI
alterable determination not to go into the
jug. He was assured he would have a
good bed. He acknowledged that was so,
but he said he objected to the character Of
the meals served.
"Why," said the jailer, "you are mis-
taken. In this Jail we give the prisoners
something just as good as they give the
boarders at the Hotel Helena
On this assurance the prisoner went into
the Jail proper. just as the door was be
ing closed he called out to the jailer:
"Say, what's that you give same as Ho
tel Helenaf"
"Salt, :" said the jailer as he slammed
the door TO and locked it.-Helena hide

In place of the ordinary method which
has been pursued in the coloring of leather
namely, first TO tan the skins and then
to dye them-a process has been brought
forward by German inventor, by which,
IL is claimed, both time and labor are
economized-that is, briefly, instead OF
first tanning the skins, as commonly prac-
ticed, this new system consists in placing
them in the color bath, and after remain
ing there some "a hours they are treated
in the ordinary way with alum and salt
The preference claimed for this plan over
that which is at present in vogue is that il
saves the washing, treating with acid and
the various methods resorted to for .restor-
ing to the skin the suppleness it Loses by

Dainty bedroom papers are much in

some of them are. The one fault in
rooms Of any size is lack of character
and a somewhat faded ensemble, but
even that has been obviated by clever

pink upon creamy white ground, and
the defect of too pale tints is entirely
overcome by bordering of olive car

HEROES ON THE ENGINE
Instances of Sublime Self Sacri-
fee In the Locomotive Cab.
RAINING THROUGH A WRECK.
Some Engineers Lose Their Nerve After an
Accident, but James Donohue Was OF
Different MetaI-survived Six Disasters
and Was Killed In tho Seventh.

What a locomotive engineer requires
above every other quality Is concentrated
nerve power. Let him once lose that, and
he might just as well quit his profession
vt once, for he will not be fit man to
trust In the cab Of an engine Instances
are numerous Of engineers abandoning
their calling because they have become
timid. 1t takes a wonderfully cool and
confident man to run an engine going at
high rate Of speed around a curve or into
tunnel 1t is like taking a leap in the
dark. Sometimes an engineer will lose
his nerve through very trivial cause.
Some stick to their profession until
they have experienced a disaster or
sudden shock Then they resign to take
charge of yard engine or a stationary en-
CINE in a manufacturing establishment.
Few dare challenge fate as did James
Donohue, the engineer who recently lost
his life in an accident near Rhinecliff, on
the Hudson River railroad, says the New
York Sun. He served the New York
Central for 20 years and was regarded as
one of the most trustworthy men In its
employ, but bad luck seemed to follow
him.
Not to mention slight accidents, he was
unfortunate enough to have been con-
cerned in seven wrecks without having
been in the least responsible for the disas-
tiers. Some Of his escapes were so near the
miraculous that his comrades considered
that he bore a charmed life. Within the
last five years Donohue's life was imperiled
five times. About the middle of Deem
Der, 1891, he ran, head on, into the rear of
freight train near Sing Sing. His en-
CINE was de Tiled, several freight cars were
soon ablaze around him, and he only es-
capped death by being dragged from his cab
by his faithful fireman, f. L. Greene.
On Christmas eve of that year a freight
train was wrecked south of the Sing Sing
tunnel, and the Niagara express was stopped
on the track between Dobbs Ferry and

TRE CATTLE SHORTAGE.

Accounting for the rise in beef, the Globe Democrat says: The statistical features of the subject are matters of record. At Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha and St. Louis are the great wholesale live stock markets, and at these markets, are concentrated the great packing houses of the West. These markets receive the surplus pro ducts of the West and Southwest, and the cattle are distributed to the popu- lous Eastern districts, either as dressed beef in refrigerator care, or alive, to be slaughtered at their destination. Last yesr, np to April 25, Chicago re- ceived 920, 900 head of cattle, and this year, during the corresponding period, only 7l4,000. Kansas City has re- ceived 409, 900 head of cattle 80 far in 1895, as compared with 467, ,000 in 1894. Omaha has received l5l, ,0n0 head of cattle this year, and received 2i0,000 head during the correspond ing period of 1894. These three mar kets show combined shortage of 353,- 900 head of cattle, as compared with last year St. Louis received 206,0t c head of cattle thus far in 1895, as against l66, GOO head received during the corresponding period of 1894. showing an increase. If the St Louis surplus of 10000 head is deducted from the general decrease the shortage to date represents 3l3, 900 head of cat tie, or, in round figures at 800 pounds of beef to the carcass, shortage of 156, 500, 900 pounds Of dressed beef. This reduced number represents loss of 2700 cattle, or l l,360, 800 pounds of dressed beef each day, since January l, 1895. During the early part of last year. in February and March, the best native steers on the St. Louis market sold at range from S3. 40 to S4, 25 per 100 pounds. The weights ranged from 1900 to 1880 pounds During the past month or so, since the shortage has de- veloped, the same weight cattle have sold from S5.50 to S6.l0 per loo pounds.

The late Sherlock Holmes had n favorite dictum: Eliminate the inn possible, and what is left, however i'm probable, must be the truth" This was not at ail ip accordance with the saving of Victor Hugo; Nothing is so imminent as the impossible. What must be always foreseen is the unfore- seen" Most of us willagree, from ex- perience, with Hugo rather than with Holmes. The impossible does not hap pen. When Mercy Philbrick's Choice" was published in the No Name series, the critics were agreed that it seemed to be written by Helen Hunt Jackson. But, as those who knew her love for flowers and acquaintance with nature also pointed out, she could not be the author, for there. were several glaring mistakes in the naming and placing of blossoms in the story. Yet, as was afterward disclosed, she did write it; so all the theorizing went for nothing.

 Ire history of the claim has oft been published. Suffice it to say that thorough search of the archives of Mexico and of Spain, by the direction of the State and Interior Departments of the United States failed to reveal any evidence whatever of the existence of such a claim
 The Peralta claim is almost as noted as the Keeley motor as a moons of ex- torting money from the credulous. Large eums have been paid to Reayis by individuals and corporations within the limits of the alleged grant, for re- leases, iu order to show clear title to their property, and Reayis has also been successful in convincing certain capitalists that he bad sure thing and they have advanced him money with which to prosecute it.

 A drinking horn of marvellous work manship Is one of the relies kept m the church at 0ldenburg, Germany says the New York Colnrnercial Advertiser. It is known throughout Europe as Che horn of Oldcnburg,' and has most wonderful history. According to the story. the great Otho of 0ldenburg was out hunting, and, becoming exhausted from thirst and fatigue, sank upon the earth with the exclamation: "0h, God, would 1 had a cool drink" The sound of his voice had scarcely died away among the trees of the forest when sud- denly beautiful maiden appeared be- fore him bearing a richly-carved drink ing horn. filled to overilowing with cool, sparkling water. Otho was more captiyated with the beauty of the horn than he was with that of his fair bene- factress, and without even staying to say "Thanks." turned and ran at the top of his speed, carrying the vessel with him. To save himself from the consequences of such peculiar theft, Otho bestowed the horn upon the church, and to this day the story, as given above, is told by the guides, who display the relic to the gaze of curious visitors.

GREciAN ENTERPRISE.

Why the Fruit of Athens Is Always Too
 Green to Eat.
 It is the way of travellers to complain of the food they are obliged to eat in foreign countries. Whether it is an American in Europe, or European in America, the result is much the same. We like the things b which we are ac- customed When Edmond About was in Greece, he carried matters so far as to object to eating green peaches. ue was in the bazaar at Athens, says the Youths Companion.
 Wouldn't it be possible to get some ripe peaehes?" he asked the vendor.
 Il think not, answered the Athenian.
 But pray tell me why?n
 We have no good roads. If the farmers should try to bring ripe fruit to market on mule-he + ,l!s, t would arrive in the shape of marmalade"
 But Ut Corfu, also, the peaches wero green, and they have good roads, and bring the fruit to town in wagons"
 ''Ah, well, said the man, there is another reason. The farmers have no money, and they have creditors. They cant wait for fruit to get ripe" There, says About, you have fair example of the state of Grecian agricul- ture.
 A French gardener, being at Smyrna, noticed that the Greeks had almost no vegetables in their gardens tomatoes everywhere, and scarcely anything else. Why don't you raise other things?'' he asked. Asparagus, now. Your soil is just right You would make fine thing of it. I will furnish you with seeds"
 How soon should we get crops?'
 ''In four years at the longest"
 -Four years. Are you crazy2 Do you suppose we would spend money to get something back in four years2 We should be bankrupt twenty times over.
