Chicago, Oct. 13.-Sometimes little
differences are more interesting than
big ones, because you have to look
sharper to find them, and then they as
sumo the proportions of discoveries.
One American city is very like another.
and yet Chicago is not New York by
any manner of means.

Does a dog cry? This knotty ques
ton has occupied one Of the civil courts
under these circumstances: A certain
gentleman rented a handsome set o.
rooms, and the lease contained q clause
interdicting the tenant from keeping
animals which cry. IL happened that
friend sent the gentleman two little
dogs from Mexico. The arrival of the
animals led to notice being served on
their owner for breach of the terms Of
the lease, and the matter had 20 be
settled by legal argument The de-
PENDANT insisted that Pipo and Pipa

twelve ounces apiece. and their bark
was correspondingly diminutive; but

Like all Of their kind, they are bottom
feeders and spend their lives nosing in

water shrimps, hellgamites, caddi:

Of the latter, but of these they make
many a fat meal, cracking the thin
shells easily with their rubbery jaws
They do not differ much in flavor from
the common river suckers of the east,
being muddy and coarse and strong,
and, worst of all, full of bones. Never.
itheless, they are a staple article OF
food in the Chic valley, and more OF
them are sold than any other three fish
put together. In the larger river
towns the fishermen drive big ORLEANS
loaded with buffalo fish into the main
street and on Saturday nights, and by
torchlight sell off the entire lots to
eager buyers. These are, of course,
nearly all seined, but they will bite a
hook, and it is fun to catch them on a
cloudy or misty day.
ANY such weather you can see a
score Of skiffs put out from the little
town where l was raised, each with a
couple of boys or men in ready TO sling
in the suckers They all use cut poles
or common bamboos, linen lines and
ordinary two-for-a-cent ringed hooks.

those fishermen never even heard of
such filings. The hook used is small

and then stick him on, shell and all
Every body uses at least two hooks and
some use three. Often the buffaloes
take hold SO fast that they'll have three
on at a time and then there's lively
work. They are not a game fish by
a great deal, but they put up a spunky
fight for a few minutes, though they
die easily and give up after two or
three rushes. Their great forte is to
make for submerged log or root and
take round turn that ends that line
for all future use. Their great weight
enables them often to do this on their
first dash for freedom.
They have big coarse scales, that
shine like polished bronze in the sun
when they lie in the boat, and with
their strong fms and broad backs they
are really fine fish to look at, all but
their jaws or heads From this point
of view they always remind me of a
sucking pig. NY two little girls, Sue
and Jennie, went out one day for buff
faloes, and they brought home boat

sixty-three in the afternoon, and the
biggest one weighed sixteen pounds.

If Thackeray's figures are correct,
George Warrington should have left a
reputation as an athletic record reak-
or, for he could have won with ease
the intercollegiate championships in
broad jumps up to 1859, and many Of
the national championships besides.
Thackeray wrote delightful fiction,
and, for the honor of the first president
Of the United States, it is to be
hoped that some of it was based on
fact In 1.-THE virginians," Harry
Warrington. after describing a running
broad jump Of twenty-one feet three
inches, refers to ''Col. G. Washing
ton, Of Virginia, who could clear a
foot more" That was before the days
of spiked shoes and cinder paths and
pla,,ks for stake Of" Perhaps
Washington might have made even
phenomenal lend rush" or a ''half
back" on his university team.
Having long recognized the made
quacy of foot-warmers as a means OF
heating railway carriages, says the
London Daily Telegraph, the directors
of the Great Western railway deter
mined when building their first cor
ridor train In tho spring Of 1892 TO
provide it with appliances for warm
ing the vehicles by the employment Of
steam from the locomotive. This train
has been running on the PaddiDgton,
Birmingham & Birkenhead service for
more than two years, and the improved
system of warming having proved en-
tirely successful the additional corri-
dor trains which have subsequently
been provided and are now running
between London and Torquay and
Plymouth and Penzance, and between
London and South Wales, have been
similarly fitted with equally satisfac-
tory results
