A Prince and Baron Initiated "a Stag
Up to the Killing Point.
Itwould be difficult to find Oh record
a stranger hunting adventure than that
!, Experienced by Prince Hohcnlohe, son
Of tho German chancellor, and Baron
Vietinghoff recently. They went out
together to shoot stays and agreed to
decoy the animals by initiating their
call on special horn. The hunters
separated, each accompanied by a game
lpeper, and went i'll different directions.
During the course of the day they APP
preached each other, and each heard
the others decoy call and believed a
stately stag was before him. Initiating
the heavy steps of the animal, they
doisily drew still nearer. The imitation
Of the steps and call was SO we'll done
that they finally arrived within ten
PAGES of each other without pcrceiving
their mistake.
Tho thickct was so dense that they
I could not sec through it. Both stood
y still, repeating the challenge from time
4 time. Each still firmly believed that
/ he was within q few PAGES of real
stag. At last tie prince, tired of wait
ing, fired thrice rapidly i'll the direction
of tho supposed game. The first bullet
glanced off the cartridge belt of Baron
Eietinghoff, the second struck his watch
and sprang off, the third fell dead from

The young baron, though hit threo
times, stood unwounded. He was so con-
WINGED that not his fellow hunter, but
stag, was before him that he attribut-
ed tho shots to tho explosion of car
tAdges in his belt and busted himself
unfastening his belt for tho purpose OF
throwing it away. The astonishncnt OF
both when they at last found out what
had happened was great.-Berlin Spe.

Old Resort Are In Every Cline.
San Francisco has lost one Of her few

reputation now, but i'll the old days
the Cliff House was as famous as tho
Yosemite, or as the seals, of which it
was uncertain whether they or the house
gained the more celebrity from tho as

When distinguished strangers used to
take i'll the lions of San Francisco, the
place was even poorer i'll architectural

COMPETING WITH CHICAGO.
Norway Making Arrangements to Supply
London With Mutton.


London With Mutton.
1 London will shortly havo tho advan-
Ftage of another meat supply-this time
from Norway-which, according to the
London Telegraph, is perfecting ar
rangcments for supplying the English
metropolis with as much mutton, alive
or dead, as it can spare for expectation.
Systematic experiments were made re-
Gently under the supervision of tho
Stavanger Agricultural society, and the
kesults were SO satisfactory that in the
approaching cold season it is to be re-
peated on larger scale.
It appears that so sheep, each weigh
ing about 100 pounds, were fattencd
for week or SO until they turned the
scale at from 115 pounds to 1873 pounds.
They were then shipped to London,
there they realized an average price,
after deducting commission, of about
$3.50, and as tho total outlay had only
been about Sc. so per head there was a
net profit of nearly 81 OH each animal.
Forty were also sent over with the
skins. hoofs and interior intact, but on
these three was an average loss Of 10
ahillings per head, partly explained by
the skins being damaged through bad
packing.
Nevertheless tho stavanger society
Z has come to tho conclusion that tho
business promises to be remunerative,
and the English people have thus an
additional guarantee of an adequate
!, supply of mutton.

Testing DlamOaa.

A real diamond is not acted on by acids or alkalies. When rubbed on a piece of silk, it acquires positive electricity and will attract small pieces of wool, cotton and paper, and this eleotriflcation will last sometimes half an hour. A real dia- mond, if exposed to the suns rays for Q time, possesses a distinct phos- phoresoence in the dark. It gives only a simple refraction-that is, it gives only single image of a bright light when that is viewed through it's facets. This last test is a very good one, and the identification and phosphorescent qualities afford two other good tests. Jewellers usually test with a file. If that affords no proof, the jeweler places the stone in @ leaden or platinum cup with some powdered flour spar and lit tie oil of vitriol. The vessel is then placed over a charcoal fire in some place where the strong draft will carry off the noxious vapors evolved. When these latter have ceased ris- ing, the mixture in *he vessel is al- lowed to cool, and the stone is then hshed out with a glass rod. If it is genuine, no change will be noticea- ble If false, it will be corroded by the acid.

oLo rIMe STREET CLEANING.
Pigs Were the First scavengers RecOg-
 niEed by New York Law.

| Pigs Were the First Soavengers Recog- mixed by New York Law.
 The first organized effort to clean the streets of New York was made in 1858. The Dutch governor in that year established law that pigpens which opened on the principal streets should be provided with openings on the highways so that the pigs might readily find their way to the streets and act as public scavengers.
 In time, however, as the traffic on the city streets increased the citi- gems of New York became dissatis- fed with their street cleaning de- partment and clamored for a change.
 In 1895 a commissioner of the street cleaning department was cho- sen. He was appointed for term of one year, and his salary was fixed at $50. This system continued until 170l, when public sentiment once more demanded change.
 The aldermen therefore called on the citizens to state what they were willing to pay for having the streets cleaned and the dirt carried away.
 The call was not responded to, however, and law was finally made providing that the inhabitants should sweep the dirt in heaps be- fore their houses on every Friday. The dirt was carted away once a week by cartmen, and the citizens were ordered to pay threepence for every load if they loaded it them selves and sixpenee if it were loaded by the cartmen. One street, how ever, was cleaned entirely at the publio's expense. This was the road now known as Broad street, and this special provision was made because quantities of dirt were washed to it by the rains and it was thought un- just for the residents to clean it themselves.
 The next change was the appoint ment of public scavenger, whose duty it was to cart away the dirt from all the streets. The new street cleaning commissioner was known in those days as the public scaven- ger and received salary of s200 0 year.
 The year 1858 was also the year in which the first street in New York was paved. Before a pave ment of any sort could be laid it was necessary that a survey should be made, because of the irregular manner in which the houses stood.
 The first pavement was of cobble- stones, and the old Dutch record an- nounces that it was intended "for ornament as well as for use" The expense of laying this pavement was assessed on the residents. During the next ten years almost every street in New Amsterdam was paved in one way or another.
 The streets were usually paved to a width of ten feet from tho front of the houses on either sideof the way. The center was arranged to serve the double purpose of gutter and sewer.-New York Sun.
