A White Deer as a Mascot.

The citizens of Cook County are
much put out on account Of the Staying
of white deer which has been roam
ing over that section for a number Of
years, and which was looked upon as
a sort Of mascot, and which no one
would harm, until short time ago
one PoindeXter wantonly shot it. Such
curios are very seldom found, but in
story and in song for ages past occa-
sionally references are made to milk
white" does or white deer, which is
generally supposed to have been a
mythical or legendary animal. This
white deer Of Cook County, however,
was no myth, for it's snowy hide is
now in pickle in a taxidermist's shop
in this city, and Game Protector Nc
CURE Is preparing at the request of
the people Of Cook County to make big
trouble for Poindexter, who killed the
animal about Feb. 1, during the season
when it is not lawful to shoot deer Of
any color. There have been many sto-
ries about this celebrated white deer,
one of which was that Barnum had Of
fered $4,000 for the animal alone, and
it is now said that Poindexter shot
the animal to get 5000 for its skin

The uninhabited Island of Cocos 8

The uninhabited Island of Cocos ap-
pears from California reports to contain
still all the treasure that Pirate Morgan
or any other pirate ever put into it.
The agitation Of the Mr.. R. w. Arm
strong who has brought suit against a
certain syndicate of Eastern people
on the charge that they had stolen his
maps and dug up the treasure appears
to have had false basis. Mr.. Arm
strong can be assured that the gold and
Cocos have not been parted, but there
will be new humiliation to his hopes
when he reads that the island has been
given to stern sea captain, to be col
onized and farmed. He can throw his
maps away or send them to the Vene-
1uela commission, for the sea captain
has deep-seated antipathy to invading
search expeditions, even if they have
been the habit of twenty years, as in the
case of Mr.. Armstrong. An uninhab-
tied island just being reclaimed to civ
ilization requires some romance in its
history, and the story of the buried
treasure will do as well as'anything else
for the Cocos parents of later years to
tell to their children.

It is told as a good joke that some
Chicago humorist inserted an adver-
tisement in the Sunday morning papers
offering an eligibly furnished fat for
rent on one Of the fashionable boule-
wards. There was no such fat and no
such number, but it turns out that the
humorist hiding behind a clump Of
trees in the neighborhood of the adver-
tised number almost shook his fat sides
off with laughter at the discontinue Of
those persons who, trusting to the adj
vertisement, went in search OF the
place. He doubtless had his fun, and
it was rare fun and no mistake. He
disconnected and fooled several peo-
pie. He made them uncomfortable and
disappointed on a hot summer day. He
may possibly have caused some Of them
fits of sickness, but he had for himself
a very hilarious time. Bursting with
laughter, he must have told his init
mates how he enjoyed the rapture of
seeing some half-doZen persons look
ing in vain for a number that was not
there. To see people foolishly inquir-
ing for something that is not attaina-
BILE is one of the sights that produce
paroxysms of delight in the better In
formed. When one man by his unaided
intellect has brought such climax to
pass he should be permitted to roll
over and over again on the grass in
hysterical glee. At the same time that
this practical joker was enjoying the
annoyance and veXation of those he had
lured on an innocently foolish quest,
another practical joker was rocking
skiff on the Calumet River much to
his own amusement but to the trepida-
ton of his friend. The skif suddenly
turned over and the joker was drown
ed, while the other occupant Of the boat
barely escaped with his life. Undoubt-
eddy this was great fun, and is quite
comparable with that of the boulevard
humorist When is it that practical
joking will cease? Doubtless there is
more or less amusement in the casual
discontinue and mishaps of acquaint-
ances, and few of us are proof against
grin at some sorry plight that occa-
siOnally overtakes our best friends, but
what state of mind is it that wishes to
bring such things about? Why should
we take pleasure in the untimely hap
penings to or the misery Of other peo-
pie? And yet this is the chief object Of
practical joking The tendency to this
unseemly sport, of course, may be laid
to heredity. Our barbaric ancestors
dearly loved the torture of their vic
tins, and the same impulse may be
seen in boys, who delight in inflfcting
pain both on their companions and up
on animals Practical joking belongs
to this category. But what is to be
said in this day of education and civili-
zation Of grown men who find their
chief enjoyment in giving pain and un-
happiness to others?

Etched the Wrong Man.

A well-known etcher recently set him
self the task of etching portrait of
Andrew Lang, the English poet. He
ordered a photograph of his subject
from one of the Broadway dealers.
When it arrived he made an elaborate
etching, Of which an art dealer bought
a few copies. Lang is a man about 40
years of age, with long, slender face
and dropping mustache. The etching
was of a man nearly so years OF age,
with round face and full beard. Some
one who knew Lang saw the picture,
and declared that his friend must have
grown that beard very quickly, and If
the picture was correct he had become
remarkably fat. The dealer at once
began an investigation, and found that
the photograph importer had sent the
etcher picture of Sir Andrew Long, a
prominent importer of Glasgow, and a
jolly gentleman, who Is said to have
laughed heartily when he heard of the
mistake. The artist has promised to
etch another portrait. Meanwhile some
American biblionhiles have decorated
their libraries with pictures Of the
Scotch importer, who prefers jollity to
poetry.

High Woods of Tropical America

High Woods of Tropical America.
Of the High Woods, the dense prime
val forests of tropical America, many,
from Humboldt downward, have writ
ten, and written well; yet mere words
can never adequately render their
grand, mysterious beauty. The brush,
in the hand of genius, might succeed;
the pen must inevitably fail. 1t is OF
little service to tell Of giant stems r1s-
ing to a height of 200 feet or more be-
fore they put forth their strong, inter-
lacing branches. The bare statement
of the fact conveys no idea Of the mas
sive nobility, the columnar dignity and
grace of their trunks. They shoot
straight upward in grand and crowded
array, the pillars of dense roof OF
dark-green foliage; and from their
branches hang festoons of bush rope,
in strenuous though invisible combat,
one with the other, to reach the soil,
even as the great trees are in similar
combat to force their way up into the
sunlight and the air So thickly matted
is the roof of branch and leaf, Of pendu-
lous rope and ivy, that the light is dim.
You may travel for days and never
see the sun save for slanting shafts
and FURNISHED gold that pierce the In
terstices Of this natural ceiling; or Tor
occasional clearances where some old
giant of the forest has fallen, crushing
down all the weaker trees that could
not Withstand it's weight. The atmos-
phere is almost intolerably hot and
dank. The ground is encountered with
a dense underground of bush, making
progress painfully slow, even over an
Indian trail. The silence, too, is as
oppressive as the heat. Just before day
break, in the ten minutes or so OF half
light, the forest will resound with the
cries of monkeys and the notes of birds.

Apropos of the discovery in DR.. Jam

Apropos of the discovery in DR.. Jane
sons trunk of the secret cipher used by
the Uitlanders, James Payn says that
the only thoroughly undecipherable
cipher is also the simplest. 1t consists
of two duplicate books-any books; one
in the hands Of the transmitter of the
cipher, and one in the hands of the re-
cipient The first letter in the first page
Ia taken for "a," the first letter in the
second for 3D." and SO on till the emil
of the message is reached; suppose it
to consist of twenty-four words, TWEEN
ty-four pages of the book will thus have
been used; for the next message the
first letter Of the twenty-fifth page will
be used for a." the first letter in the
twenty sixth for 3D." and so on. Even
the possession of one of these books
would not help the would-be decipherer,
unless he suspected some virtue in 1t,
but without the book the cipher would
remain absolutely inscrutable.

HUNGARY'S MILLENNIUM.
A Brave People Celebrate Their
1,OOOth Birthday.

A Brave People Celebrate Their
1,OOOth Birthday.
Just a thousand years ago the fore
fathers Of modern Hungary, who had
wandered westward from their origi-
nal home in the region of the Altai
mountains, esta blished themselves in
the country which has since borne their
name and laid the foundations Of the
Hungarian state. For some months to
come the Hungarian nation will be en-
gagged in the appropriate celebration
Of the 1,0OOth year of it's history. Fetes
and congresses of all kinds are to be
held at all the chief centers Of the coun-
try at intervals throughout the next
few months, and great events of Hun
garian history are to be celebrated by
the erection of many monuments.
The chief feature Of the commemora-
ton is the great Millennial exhibition
which was opened at Budapest recent
ly by the Emperor-King Francis Jo-
seph, and which forms an deliberately
faithful presentment of the gradual
development of the Hungarian race
from a state Of barbaric simplicity to
the complex civilizat ton of the present
time Most Of the great historical
buildings are reproduced on an extern
sive scale in rich medley OF different
architectural styles - Romanesque,
Gothic, Renaissance, and their success

man of business when. a short time
ago. he became master of the island.
Mr.. Corbin was ever a shreW imam
cier, bold in venture, modest in success,
and undismayed by failure when he
met It. He was a native Of Newport
and was closing his 10th year. He
lived in the enjoyment of exuberant,
buoyant health up to the very moment
when, overturned by pair OF frlsky
horses. he met his death. His rudy
skin, elastic step, and sparkling eye
told of the boyish. spirit within. Mr..
Corbin began his New York life as a
banker in 1861. He first tried his hand
at railroad matters about twenty years
ago. when he built little road from
Bay Ridge to Manhattan Beach. Ac-
curing control of the Long Island rail-
road in 1881 he made it pay. He turn
ed the island into a park dotted with
pretty homes. Soon villages and In
corporated towns took the place Of
waste land, and Mr.. Corbfn, rich by
that time, now added largely to his
wealth. He believed in the theory that
there are more two-bit pieces than
SIS bills and he piled up the small coin,
