In the good old days Of NJ. Blanc it
was the custom, SO the story goes, di.
rectly a suicide was found to stuff his
pockets full Of bank notes. This was
done to prove that his losses at play
were not the cause of his hurried de-
parture from the shores OF time. The
last person who received this generous
treatment was, l believe, an American.
He was found lying in one Of the quiet
alleys Of the beautiful grounds, with an
empty bottle labeled Poison" by his
side. The secret agents Of the bold
Blanc instantly stuffed his pockets full
Of gold and notes, preparatory to CIV
ing information to the police. No
sooner had they filled him as full of
lucre as he could hold than the suicide
leaped to his feet, raised his hat, and
exclaimed Thank you very much"
and went off to enjoy himself with his
newly acquired wealth.-G. r. Sims
in Dagonet's Daunnerin's."

sitting Bull ms a General,

"Did you know" said an army Off
Ger, THAT if Sitting Bull, the old
Sioux chief, had been a white man, he
would have been called a great Gene
ral2 In fact, he was a great natural
soldier-a sort Of red Napoleon.
"Sitting Bull was not a real chief;
that is, he wasn't a war chief. He was
a medicine man, what the Indians call
a medicine chief. But he had great
natural capacity as a commander. His
surprise and cutting off OF Custer
would have been called a great
achievement il a white General had
in some "a performed the feat. 1t is
significant of Indian character that
Sitting Bull would never tell the story
Of the fight at all; wouldn't say a word
about it, although I suppose the ques-
ton vas put to him a thousand times

THE IDAHO HORSE QUEEN.

Miss Kate G.. wilkins, who enjoy.
renown throughout the West as the
Idaho horse queen, is described as an
attractive young woman, not more
masculine in appearance than il is now
quite correct for a girl to be. She
journeyed from her home to st. Louis
recently to sell 5000 horses, and the
dealers who met her found her a tall,
stately young person, with blue eyes,
blonde curls, a tailor made gown that
bore the stamp Of London, and a bon
net that was plainly a product Of Paris.
Her father was a cattle dealer, and
Miss wilkins used to accompany him
when he went to sell his horses. Soon
she learned to drive a better bargain
than he. Since his death she has man
aged the ranch, which embraces thou
sands OF acres along the Snake river
has superintended the farming on sew
eral hundred acres, and has attended
to all details Of buying. selling and
raising the horses. At the same time
she has the accomplishments Of a well
educated girl, and is not yet thirty
years old.

Cost Of Living I'm Pnrfs.

An able statistician has been esti-
mating the cost Of living in Paris at
the present time, and has compared il
with that of forty years ago. He shows
that in the ffties an average middle
class family could do with a budget OF
10000 francs, or f400, annually. That
did not lei luxury, but it was sufi-
Gent for comfort and required no eco
nomical engineering for the purpose of
making both ends meet. Nowadays
the case is different, and an official
with a wife and three children depend
ent on 10000 francs a year has TO work
miracles OF saving in order to avoid
gettingin into debt. Accordingly, in less
than half a century the conditions OF
life in Paris have been completely mod
flied. II is no exaggeration, in fact,
to say that prices have doubled, and
with them has increased the desire for
a o luxurient mode Of living than
that led by the average Partisan OF the
ifties. The statistician has revealed
nothing new, but his figures serve to
emphasize the fact that the French
capital is the most expensive place of
residence in Europe.-London Tele-

Youthful Train wreckers.

Hildreth, Hebbard and Dato, three
of the lads implicated in the wrecking
Of the New York Central train neal
Rome. N. Y, last week, have made a
full confession. Their object was rob-
berry, and they say they expected to
get $4,000 from the dead or dying
passengers. The boys don't Seem to
feel any pangs OF remorse. Bristol,
the fourth Of the gang, denies his guilt.
They will be put on trial for murder in
the first degree, but owing to their
youth it is likely that they will only
be convicted of murder in the second
degree, the penalty for which is i'm
prisonment for life.

worries Oldest wooaen building.
Japan possesses what is probably the
oldest wooden structure in the world.
1t contains the art treasures OF the Mi
kado and is situated in Nara, which
for some years was the imperial resi-
dence. The building is oblong in shape
and is built Of triangular logs Of wood.
II rests on piles. The wood used is Of
native growth and shows extraordinary
lasting power, considering the trying
climate which it had to endure for over
1900 years. A peculiar feature about
the logs of which the building is con-
structed is that, in parts most exposed
to the weather, the logs are thinner by
several inches than those in a more
sheltered position, the wood having
gradually worn away. The treasures
which the storehouse contains are OF
great antiquity and have been seer by
Europeans during only the last three
years. They consist Of rare and beau
tiful fabrics of Persian, Indian, Chi
nese and Turkish manufacture and an
cier. articles from all parts OF the
world.

The Reno Journal says that County
Clerk Porter has been suffering con-
siderable pain and some inconvenience
in what is left of the leg that he lost
three or four years ago. He could not
imagine what caused it, but the toes
and the instep Of the foot that he
hasn't got, panied him at times Sc
yerely. He was impelled Sunday to
20 and examine the amputated men,
Der and knowing where it had been
buried he dug it up. Nothing was left
Of it except the bones, some Of which
we're badly crushed when the accident
that had crippled him occurred, but
they were all there. He found the
foot cramped and twisted. so he
Strengthened it out and laid the mem
Der away in cotton. The pain he had
been suffering stopped Immediately
and he has not felt a twinge since.

At San Francisco last week, Eugene
Pardini, the shoemaker who. with
Lane, Meyer and several other old men
are charged with ~outraging young
girls, attempted to commit suicide in
Jail. His fellow prisoners tainted
him, and told Of the tortures he would
experience in prison. Pardini forced
his gold trimmed spectacles far down
his throat and attempted to strangle
himself with a handkerchief. He was
discovered and resuscitated, but he
managed 10 swallow a part OF the gold
frame Of the spectacles and one Of the
glasses, and may not recover.

STRANGE HAPPENINGS.

An exchange writes in the followine
manner. We are wondering what the
editor meant by SO sad a soliloquy:
Last week a man slipped up to us
and said he would pay every cent il he
lived until Saturday night. We pre-
sumo the man died.
Another said he would pay us in a
day or two as sure as we we're born.
Query: Did the man lie, or were we
never born?
Another said he would settle az sure
as shooting. We are led to the conclu.
sion that shooting is not very certain.
Another hoped determinedly that
he might go to the devil if he did not
Ray us in three days. Have not seen
him since-suppose he has gone, but
trust he has not hoped in vain.
Quite a number said they would see
us tomorrow. These have been strick-
en- blind or else tomorrow has not
come.
One man said he would pay us as
soon as he got some money. That man
would not lie, so OF course he has not
had a cent since.

Versatile sailor Men.

The versatility of the man who has
been educated on a sailing vessel will
bear investigation. He has not only
to be a sailor and a rigger, but is some
thing of a carpenter. a sailmaker, a
cook, a tailor, a barber and a black
smith, and has a speaking acquaint-
ance with several other trades. A
thoroughbred sailor can, in fact, turn
his hand to almost anything that comes
up and do it as well, if not a little bet
ter than the average, and he would
find himself in a pickle lots Of times il
it were not for that same versatility.

Zee Tombs I'm she Alps.

A skeleton has been found in one of
the assures Of the Ademello glacier, in
the southern Tyrol, which is thought
to be that Of an American tourist OF
the name Of Ruth, who disappeared in
1890. These assures cleave glaciers at
all angles, and it is very easy to slip
into one OF them. When once in it is
hardly possible to get out without out
side help. And the warmth OF the
body melts the ice around, so that the
victim slowly descends by his own
weight into the depths of the glacier,
and generally starves to death. On
looking into these assures the most
beautiful play Of light in blue and green
and rainbow colors is seer away down.
But these are best enjoyed from the
safe vantage ground Of the upper, out
side world, rather than down in the
depths and close at hand. In some
instances, it is said, bodies have been
preserved down in these assures in the
ice for years.-Hartford Times.

Asked u He Came by TELEGRAPH.

Some Of the people who live on farms
in regions remote from villages and
railroads have very crude ideas regard
ing methods OF communication by tel
egraph. A short time ago a message
was brought to the house OF a farmer
not 1000 miles from Buffalo, convey
ing intelligence Of the death OF a rela-
tive in Ohio. The farmer and the
members OF his household were arous :
ed at a late hour at night. The mess
age was read by the head OF the house
and passed over to his wife. The good
woman read the unwelcome news and
then asked the messenger if he came
by telegraph from Ohio.-Buffalo Cou-

A boy can sit still on a box six in

miles an hour, who couldn't sit on a
sofa five minutes for a dollar. A man
will sit on an inch edge OF a board
fence and talk politics for three long
hours; put him in a church pew for
forty minutes and he gets nervous,
