LOOKING BACKWARD.

Or tho Mil1ionaire's Regrets for tho

It was summertime. The Office win.

had come up to confer with his lawyer,
and had been told he could now fore
close his mortgage on fine and covet-
ed corner for q song. He therefore felt
at peace with all the world, and he
wished that everybody might Danish

be Of good cheer. He took off his hat

Abolishine Animal Prisons.

Some Of the extreme advocates Of
kindness to animals are evidently pre-
pairing to enter upon mission for the
total abolition Of lnenageries geological
gardens, and other animal prisons.
Letters that seem like little kites flown
to see how the wind blows appear ever
and anon in the newspapers, but the
general public has not yet risen to them.
Still, the materials Of movement"
are still at hand if the leading fanatic
to guide them were only forthcoming.
Extremists are always ready to ride
an idea to death. To obtain mature
wild creatures, whether two-legged or
four-legged, Is In general a piece Of
cruelty that. besides much else. Is per
fectly useless, but that is not to say
that the bird-catcher should be sup
pressed. A Gagged lion gives you less
accurate lesson In zoology than a good
engraving would do, but there may be
objections to abolishing the geological
gardens for all that-Pall Mall Gazette

Three years ago." said he, that
woman came to one Of the hospitals OF
the city and engaged a private room.
She drove to the institution IN car
riage and was carried to her bed on g
stretcner. She insisted that one OF her
ankles was helpless and that she could
not walk. The house surgeon made an
examination and could not discover
that she had the slightest ailment. The
next day the head surgeon looked her
over carefully and came to the same
conclusion. What Is more, being some
what brusque and outspoken person,
he said as much to her. At this she
was very Indignant and insisted upon
keeping her bed. No amount Of persuai
sion could induce her to make any ct;
fort to walk, and she insisted that her
ankle was helpless and so sensitive that
the slightest touch Of her foot to tha
yround caused her the most acute pain
"F5nding all efforts to persuade her to
10 anything for herself fruitless, tha
surgical staff held a consultation and
determined to humor her. Consequert-
ly the following day the woman was
told that she was suffering from seh
Gus ailment, and preparations for an
operation were made with great pa
rade Of nurses, instruments and the
like. The patient was then placed un-
der the influence Of an anaesthetic and

The New York World has asked the
banks why they are boarding SS1, ,OOO,-
600 Of gold for which they have abso-
lutely no use whatever. Their replies
are evasive, shifty, insincere. They
have no obligations payable in gold.
Their notes are redeemable not by
themselves but by the government, and
not in gold but in greenbacks. The
checks drawn by their depositors are
payable in paper alone, and, in fact
are paid in nothing else. There Is no
possible reason for them to hoard gold
except that they expect premium up
on it or that they wish to force the gov
errment to borrow money which It
