An Impossible Sacrifice.

A hungarian paper says that Francis
Deak, the Hungarian statesman, used
TO get rid of troublesome visitors by
telling them the following story: "Once,
when i'll Paris, Napoleon and paid q
visit to hospital for old soldiers. Here
he perceived among the rest . man who
had lost one Of his arms, and he entered
into conversation with him. Where did
you lose your arm?' asked the emperor.
AT AusteI litz, your majesty Then
no doubt You curse the emperor and
your country every time you look at
your Inutilatcd limb?' No indeed, pro-
tested the veteran, for tie emperor and
my native land l would readily sacrifice
lay other arm IL needs be. L can hardly
believe that, the emperor remarked
and passed on. But the soldier. anxious
to prove that he was N earnest. imme-
diatoly drew saber from it's sheath and
Topped off his other arm
Here Deak would pause and fix q
penetrating look on his visitor. "Well,
what have you TO say Of such man
and such an action:" "A most sublime
act Of self sacrifice! a truly noble char
acter!' This was the style OF reply in
variably given. But the story has one

Division Of the Stakes.
A straight flush ia the great Ameri-
can game of draw poker il such n rarity
that the person holding it is regarded as
one of the most fortunate and blessed Of
mortals. Devotees of that game viii
peruse the following story with incredu-
hty, but its absolute authenticity can
be verified by at least ten thoroughly
reliable witnesses: a party Of four play
ers entered a place not thousand miles
from Summit one night not long ago
and prepared to enjoy few hours Of
recreation ct their favorite game. An
other game i'll progress at the time was
full, SO the four players were Obliged to
start at an adjoining table.
The "jack pot" came around. each of
the four players filled in, and tho game
proceeded. The cards, regulation pack,
SO cards, were cut by the player to the
right of the dealer and dealt ont in the
eegular manner. The first player to the
left Of the dealer opened the "jacll pot"
and each succeeding player in turn
raised. The limit was 10 cents, and the
players are usually light bettors, so
that the raising and lively chipping in
before the draw created considerable
surprise When tho dealer prepared to
serye the cards for the draw, eacl. of the
players stood pat" and the betting
again started.
When each Of the players had Clipped
in $40, it was decided to stop the bet
ting, rs that amount had never before
been waGercd on game IN the place,
and none of the players could afford 10
risk greater amount. When the hands
were shown, some Of the players almost
succambed to heart disease, for there
lay four strnight fiushes, one of each
suit and all running from four to eight.
The pot was divided, and the cards
were carefully put away IN case to be

By what might be called q severe irrita-

Some OF the Odd Difficulties OF Operating

a good deal of romance hovers around
the means by which the worlds news is
gathered Tho speed and accuracy with
which telegraph messages are trans
mitted between the uttermost parts OF
the earth is marvellous when the condi-
tions under which they are sometimes
transmitted are considered.
The Indo-European telegraph line
offers good illustration. 1t runs from
London 10 Lowestoft ON the east coast
of England. 1t then dips under the sea
to Emden, Oh the German coast, whence
it passes through Germany to the Rus
sian frontier From this point the wire
passes by way Of Warsaw, Rawno, Odes-
sa. tie Caucasus, and Tifiis to Persia, and
by Tauris to Teherml, the capital Of the
shah's queer domain. There it joins
the Indian government line which runs
from the Persian capital to Bush!re on
the Persian gulf. Thence the wires run
through Baluchistan, and complete the
route by connecting at Karachi, in
northern India. The operation of this
immense stretch of line. passing through
countries of such varying climates and
general characteristics, is obviously one
of much difficulty. On the snow
swept steppes of Russia the wires are
sometimes snapped like thread by the
rapid fight of fiocks OF wild geese. The
poles arc cut down and made into fro
wood by the nomad tribes Of the eau
casian districts, and the cunning inn
keepers Of Georgia seek to boom their
post ho,ee trade by deliberately creating
faults i'll the wires. In certain parts Of
the mountainous regions Of Asia the
maintenance of the solitary hne involves
no little personal risk and hardship to
the staff hands. Communication Is
often cut of by avelanches in the motln-
tain districts. and the work Of requiring
after snowfall of five or six feet is
no light matter.

stoned with several months supplies be-
fore the winter sets in, IS the staff will
