when ned of ,the patrolmen dared go
into the crowd and arrest the agitator
he decided to, dose himself He forced
his way through "a mob of more than
three Thousand men, grabbed the
drunken orator by the. collar, jes1ked
him off a drygoods box from which he
was speaking and said: ''Come along
with me-" "A thoqlsand fists were
clenched, q thousand revolvers were
drawn, "a Thousand men had stones or
bricks or clubs in. theSr hands, and the
nervy policeman stood alone among
them. But he chung TO the collar of
his prisoner and tried to drag him
along. Then came a scene of indie
scribable excitement a ruffian arose
before the chief of police and ordered
him to release the orator, sspd when he
declined started to attack him. Just
then huge dog seemed to spring out
of the earth. No one noticed him be-
fore, and no one saw where he came
from. Providence sent him to dispense
that mob and he did ii. With a roar
like that of a wild beast be sprapg at
the throat of the ruffian who was inter
fering with the chief of police and
fastened his fangs in his flesh. There
were tremendous ontcry and con-
fusion. Everybody ran from the po-
1iceman to release the ruffian from the
dog, for the two were rolling over and
over in the street, covered with blood
and dust. This enabled the officer to
slip the crowd with his prisoner and
tip him into a hack, which drove has
tily away before they were missed.
The man was finally released from
fhe dog, but not until he was so badly
bitten that he had to be taken to the
hospital, and with many kicks and cuffs
and bruises from clubs and stones the
enterprising brute managed to get out
of the crowd. But tne diversion broke
up the mob and drove out of their
minds all thought OF arson and plumber,
and they did not stop talking about
thd( ehdent for several days.
ItXwas good illustration Of the
peculfarities of human. nature that the,
mob gave the dog more sympathy than
they offered to the man. and from that
day there was nothing too good for
him. They tried to teach him to drink
whisky and beer, but he always re-
fused, and, whilehe accepted the atten-
tions of the s'topghs. with dignity. he
kept bis distance and remained with
the law-and-order party to the end.

wife, Of a mining engineer, Rene Berge,
eonsei1ler-general of the Seine-In-
ferieure.
Although, as have said, Nine Felix
Fanre is, but little known, that does
not mean she has not sympathized with
her husband in his eventful life. Ger
tainly the larger share of M. Faure's
success is, due to the helpful influence
of his wife.
The home life of M. and Nine. Faure
has always been charming. Nine. Faure
is very intelligent woman, and her
wit and humor are proverbial. She
does not care for the gay world, as she
dearly doves her home, but she knows
how to entertain with perfect grace
The naval officers who attended her re-
ceptions in the ministry of marine were
charmed with Nine. Faure's manner
as a hostess, and all who know
her say that she will be an
ornament to the Elysee palace. Nine.
Faure always remains in her own
apartments until noon, the hour
for dejeuner "a La fourchette, but the
president rises at 5 o'clock, and at
9 he is in his study. He then reads
the documents left over from the previ-
GUS evening, and while perusing them
he smokes curved pipe called pipe
de chasse. Regularly at 10 minutes
before 8 the president returns to
his dressing-roorn- changes his clothes,
sand at 8 o'clock he is ready to give
audience or To work with his secre-
ltaries. Mime. Felix Faure is being
greatly assisted in her duties as ''first
lady of the land" by her eldest daugh.
ter, Mile. Lucie Faure, very beauti-
full girl, rs years old Mile. Lucie
is, like her mother, intelligent,
witty, talented and very literary. She
is fond of poetry, writes poems with
great facility, and willingly reeites
them 10 her friends. Mile. Faure is
often her fathers secretary, and last
gear she accompanied him to Egypt,
where both were very well received
As i have said, the second daughter is
married. M. Berge, although by pro
fession an engineer, does not practice;
he lis very wealthy and owns immense
properties near Havre. In winter NJ
and Mime. Berge live in a splendid fiat
Ia Rue Pierre Charron, Paris. NJ.
Berge is very much interested in agri-
culture and cattle raising. Because of
their youth and enthusiasm Nine.
Berge and Mile. T,aure are giving
tone of gayety to the Elysee recep-
tons This is decided change for the
better, as these receptions were al
ways very cold and formal.

When You go through an Indian
camp you can see red and green sacks
standing against the sides of the te-
PEGS, carried on the backs of little
girls by means Of a blanket which is
fastened at the waist with a broad
leatheAlRelt, or being rocked to and fro
by the Wind in the boughs Of the cot
tonwood trees. These sacks are In
dian cradles. Sometimes, if the camp
is going ON long journey in search of
game or for water, or to escape war
party, two of these sacks are fastened
together by stout straps and swung
over the back Of a pony, one dangling
on each side, like the baskets on q pack

Tor the men and boys to ride, and the
papooses are either carried by the girls
or packed away on q 'travoise, !" which

How a Liar was Called Down.

In st. Paul an army officer was en-
pertaining party of friends to dinner,
and among them was a civilian who
was an entertaining story teller, but
very improbable in his statements. On
this occasion he told of his being off
the Cape of Good Hope in an Indiaman,
when floating object was discovered,
which proved to be cask, wherein a
man was seated clinging to small
staff in the bunghole. OF course he
was invited to come aboard, but he re-
fused, and said: I'm very comfor-
table here. I'm bound for the Cape
Can take letters there for you?" Amid
the silence which followed this incredi-
BILE yarn, gray-haired colonel arose
and said gravely: For years have
been trying to find some one belonging
to that ship to return thanks for the
kindness shown me on that occasion.
At last am. able to do SO. Sir, was
the man on that cask!"

to the reichStag to remain until the ad.
journment. He passes only a small
part of his time with the deputies
however. He works in his Office, quite
remote from the house, usually talking
over state business with conspicuous
officials and politicians.
He walks back to the chancellery, re-
ceives a fresh batch of official reports,
and at 1880 goes to the family dinner
The bill of fare is far from elaborate.
After soup and fish comes the familiar
dish known as "Bayrische rindfieisch
und gemuese," plain boiled beef with
vegetables. Sweets and cheese COM
plete the meal. Various wines are
served, but the chancellor drinks very
sparingly of only one sort, usually linn
iting himself to single glass of light
Alsatian. A glass of beer after dinner
and cup of coffee with a big Havana
cigar are the last items of his menu.
At ten o'clock he retires to his work.
room and resumes his 1abors with his
interminable correspondence. AT mid
night he goes to bed
1t simple, Woodworking life, varied
only occasionally by receptions or court
functions The relief is not frequent
and is not welcome, for the chancellor
is not fond of social duties
Although well along in life and aging
noticeably under his new burdens the
chancellor is still devoted to the pas
time of walking. During his holidays
he tramps across country, climbs
mountain peaks, and hunts the cham
obs. The reputation of the Hohenlohes
as entertainers is preserved by the
princess, whose grand balls and recep-
tions maintain the traditions of an open
and hospitable house.
Prince Alexander of Hohenlohe-
Schillingfuerst, the chancellor's son,
will marry the dowager princess of
Holms- Braunfels in June. She is eight
years his senior.

How the Wealthy and Wise Britons Live
1850 In Summer. tt
One of the features of life In England
is the house boat as summer resi-
dence. Instead of wearing himself out
and exhausting his purse by going to a
watering place, your wealthy English
man hires tugboat to tow his floating
home up the Thames, and rests him
content, angling for fish that never
bite and smoking. The inventor of
the house boats is unknown. Encyclo-
pedias' are. discreetly silent on the
subject, and careful research of long
established English journals fails to
find any mention of the term previous
TO 1884. In some inscrutable way,
though, it has become known that a
certain merchant, a perfumer, in Bond
street, London, made use of the first
house boat in English waters as long
ago as the year 1865. He adopted the
idea Of having movable summer cot

A big skunk farm has been estab-
lished in Tomkins county, N. ",
which expects next year to have a
stock of 5000 animals. Their food con-
sists mostly of milk, water and bits of
meat, while their beds are made of
chestnut leaves and dried grass in a
large building. They are seldom seen
during the day, but come out at night
fall and gambol about the yard. Be
ginning with the kittens" they can
be easily tanned. When killing time
comes they are placed in tight box
and chloroformed, thus rendering their
fur free from odor. Besides the fur, a
fat animal will yield nearly pint of
oil, that is said to be an unequaled rem
edy for stiff joints.

family in that unique fashion for sever
al seasons without attracting any par
ticular attention from his neighbors.
Since that time house boats have be-
come popular in England, and the
Thames just above the capital is full of
them, anchored all along the shore,
sometimes SO near together that the in
mates walk across from one boat to the
other by conveniently arranged pas
sage way.

PRINCE HoHENLOHE.
The Simple Domestic Life of the
German Chancsllor.
Feeding Crumbs to Hungry Birds Is an
UnfaiIing Part of His Daily Routine
He Eats Moderately OF Very
FL k@ Plain Food.

The recent brilliant receptions at the
Berlin chancellery have given the inn
preston that Chancellor Prince Hohen-
lobe affects the style of the grand
seignior," living in luxury and pomp
quite unknown in Wilh@mstrasse dur
ing the days of Bismarck and Caprivi.
Count Won Schoenborn-W iesenthied,
chief of the chancellor's special bureau,
gives few details of Prince Holen-
lohe's daily life, which throw light on
his personal tastes and inner character.
The chancellor rises in winter at 7
and in summer much earlier. After
coffee with buttered roll he smokes a
cigarette. At 7:3o he begins his work
over, the morning mail. He often
scans his letters as he walks in the
garden, at the same time scattering
crumbs among the birds in the path
sPigeons, sparrows and blackbirds
gather round him when he sits down.
They are quite tame, as he has made
them his pets ever since he moved into
Wilhelmstrasse. Sun or rain, cold or
warm, he has not forgotten for single
day his engagement to feed them.
At % o'clock he goes to his workroom,
the one from which Bismarck and Ca
priv directed the affairs of the empire.
The furniture has not. been changed.
1t is the same as in the days of the iron
chancellor and the old emperor. At
9:2O the daily official routine opens with
the reports from the aids and the coun-
cillors of the foreign office. The chief
of the press bureau brings in foreign
and domestic newspaper clippings
pasted on official foolscap and so ar
ranged as to convey the most informa-
ton with the least WEAKNESS of spirit.
About 1880 the ministers half-hour
for consultation with their chiefs be-
gins. A minister whose business is not
finished at is invited to eat luncheon
with the chancellor, who usually has at
the table also the princes or other fami-
lies of the Hohenlohe family. The meal
consists of cold meats, eggs and tea.
With his tea the chancellor takes an
other cigarette, after which he drives
