A KNIFE AT HIS BREAST

Chas. Wallis Encounter with Foot.
pads on the Black Canyon
Road Wednesday Night.


Chas. Wall. son of W. W. Wall,
the mail route contractor, had disa-
greeable experience with, footpads
night before last.
He was on his way home and when
near the county hospital on the Black
Canyon road, he was suddenly seized
from behind and he found himself in
the clasp of strong arms. At almost
the same time he found himself con-
fronted by man who placed the point
of knife against his breast with 80
much force that his clothing was
pierced and the skin punctured. That
he was so suddenly surprised is owning
to the circumstance that his vision is
defective.
The man with knife demanded his
money. He had just IS which he sur
rendered without discussion.

enumeration. however, dealt with prop

If the estimate of Mr. Robert Giffcn is
correct that $4,000, 100000 in foreign
capital was invested in this country in
1880, probably an even larger amount is
SO invested at the present time. De-
duction should also be made for the
high value put upon waste public
lands in the census, with the net re-
suit that the per capita valuation of
the United States would be reduced to
about $3.50, or 81, 750 for family of
five. Estimates made by careful econ
omists, who come pretty near agree
ment among themselves, put the valua-
ton of Great Britain about nine years
ago at $50, 900, 000, 900 and that of France
at SAC, 900, 900, 900. This, says the United
States Investor, would afford a per
capita valuation of s1,33S for Great
Britain and s1,0S1 for France, making
the valuation for family of five 5000
in Great Britain and S5,405 in France.
The figures of France are placed some
what higher by some authors, and the
total in both countries includes careful
estimates of the large holdings of for

In The WRONG PLACE.
Angels Could Never Fly with the Wings
Where Artists Place Them.

Angels Could Never Fly with the Wings
Where Artists Place Them.
Did you ever notice flying angel? l
do not 1rean the animated article, but
the winged and robed creatures you
see occasionally in frescos and friezes.
If so, you have doubtless marked the
horizontal and unearthly position of the
body.
The hands are gracefully disposed
along the sides, just as if flying were
no particular effort, and the feet are
trailed straight behind, though no man
has ever found out just what holds
them there.
1t has been so since the time of
Michael Angelo and Raphael says the
New York World. Those old masters
were probably among the first offenders
against physical possibilities. They
frescoed the wall and ceilings of an
Gent cathedrals with ethereal beings
with enormous wings sprouting from
their shoulder blades and their feet
trailing straight out behind.
Since then every artistic Tom, Dick
the impossible lines laid down by the
old painters, and although science has
been developed and human ideas have
changed greatly since Athens was in it's
prime, the absurd form of the ideal an
gel has not changed particle.
Anybody can see at glance at the
pictures that this position in fight is an
impossibility. Possibly at a speed of a
mile second, and with the wings beat
ing at the rate of one hundred thou
sand times a minute, the position might
be maintained.
The point of support is the shoulder
blades. The center OF gravity is no.
where, apparently.
1t may be possible that painters de-
sire to represent an angel doing some
thing that a human being would find
impossible to do. At any rate, they
have done so.
With the wings at the shoulder
blades the center OF gravity would ex-
tend directly downward from the points
OF support. 1t is not very graceful, but
it is true to science and the law of gray
ltation. 1t will be long time, howev-
er. before painters consent to paint
angels in other than impossible posi-
lions.
Everybody remembers how reluctant
artists We're to accept the positions of
running horses developed by the cam
era. They were so absurd that it was
with difficulty that the negatives could
be believed.
In order to carry the body in hori-
zontal position the wings Of an angel
should be placed in the small Of the
back and the vertebrse stiffened with a
board. Then, perhaps, there would be
some sort of an agreement between art
and physical possibility.

THE OUT-no-DiNNER MAN.

One Who Is Not Brilliant, But Makes
Himself Useful.
"No," said the slightly cynical bach
elor to New York Tribune man, tits
not because l am tremendously popu-
lar that l get invitations, and l don't
consider it such an honor to be invited
to dine somewhere every night in the
week with half a dozen or more invita-
tons week to spare. Why in the
world do you suppose they invite me?
Well, I am good deal like the fellow
who is taken on ship and made to
work his passage. epays for his voy-
age with work. l work my passage at
the dinners. Oh, yes, do. There's no
use in being vain about these things.
You see, I'm not married, and there's
always some young woman, or old
woman, for that matter, who has to be
taken care of. Now, a married man is
at a discount at dinner. Of course,
he takes woman out to dinner, but
some man has to be provided for his
wife.
I'm just useful at dinner and that's
why1 get invited. I'm not cookbook
ing and l never said bright thing in
my life, but 1 can talk streak of stuff
and nonsense that is necessary to keep
dinner going. I'm good natured and
amiable. l like everybody, and so
get along comfortably with my neigh
bors. In a mild sort of way, 1 sup
pose, l am amusing. And then 1 am
a good laugher. I laugh at all the
good things that are said, and at many
of them that are not so good. get in
my own little jokes when the time
comes, and so we row along through
the dinner, l working my passage and
my hostess smiling approval on me.
''Oh, no, it's not a bit damaging to
my vanity. l simply know it's so, and
accept it cheerfully. 1 can't dance for
shucks, SO I'm of no earthly use at a
dance. If l were a good dancer I'd
probably come in for all that, too. My
strong point is a dinner, and so I'm
wanted there, and not at dance. 1t
doesn't wound my vanity bit. en-
joy the dinner. Having a lot of pretty
women around the table, and listening
to them, and talking to them is lots
more fun than sitting alone in club,
with only a lot of ghostlike walters to
amuse you. It's a perfectly fair
bargain. 1 talk and l am sweet
tempered for my ferriage, and 1 get on
the ferry good dinner and enjoyable
surroundings. That's all there is to it,
and as for the honor of the thing and
all that, there's no more honor in my
being invited to dine out every even
ing than there would be in going out
to fiddle for party at the regular
price. l talk and get my dinner and
pleasant company The other man
gets his five or ten dollars, or whatever
the price is, and fiddles.''

THIS WAS A SMART CAT.
How He Convinced Himself That 1t Was
His Own Image.

How he Convinced Himself That 1t Was
His Own Image.
The late DR.. Romanes, in his "Ani-
NAL Intelligence" gives two stories of
cats, which, on seeing their own refec-
ton in looking glass, convinced them
selves that the reflection was an illu-
sion. In the case of very intelligent
cat of mine, he went, think, step be-
yond this-namely, he satisfied himself
that it was in some way his own image.
Even if my deduction is wrong, the first
part of his proceedings was so singularly
like those in DIR. Romanes' accounts,
that it seems as though it were a uni
form law of cat nature to act in this
way, and so far it may not be alto
gether uninteresting.
II put the cat on table, in front of
small toilet mirror After looking at
his reflection for short while, he went
behind the glass; then he returned to
his seat in front, and again watched it
attentively. After a few moments he
rapidly dashed behind it. He again re-
turned to his seat in front of the glass,
and, while retaining his seat and keep
ing his eyes fixed on the image, he
struck about behind the glass with his
paw in different directions.
''His next action, was, fancy, sug-
gested by seeing the image apparently
strike with its paw also. Keeping his
seat and retaining his eye fixed on the
image, he proceeded to Gf [ may use
the world posture in front of the glass.
He raised his paws alternately, licked
them, touched the glass, moved his
head, etc. l have tried to simply de-
scribe facts, and as far as possible avoid
drawing conclusions
