Where He Wears Her Picture.

The slave to the weeds who d.
vides his affection between his girl
and his pipe may now combine the
two elements of his passion most ad-
mirably. A Philadelphia tobacconist
has hit upon the scheme of placing a
miniature photograph in the bowl Of
a pipe, on the side nearest the stem.
Thus the lover may puff away at his
pipe and have the image of his sweet
heart forever before his eyes. In
stead of carrying his best girls PIC
ture in a locket or the case of a
watch, the up-to-date swain who
is addicted to the weed will now
transfer it to the bowl of his pipe

Passed by a BrstIsh skipper and
Here ID. a Theory About III.

Here 10 a Theory About u.
Capt. barley, of the British freight
steamship Dovedale, which recently
arrived at Rouen from New Orleans,
probably was somewhat surprised to
see in midocean on February u a
tree, apparently of tropical origin,
that was still fresh and green. He
supplemented with no theories the
remarks in his log that he passed in
latitude as degrees, IS minutes,
longitude 35 degrees 81 minutes,
tree about % feet long and 10 inches
in diameter.
It Is possible that Capt barley
fnay be versed in the drifting phe-
nomena of the deep. If he isn't, he
may be pleased to know that the
shellback navigators hereabouts,
who have seen many strange sea
changes, have a few things to say
about his tree. The place he saw it
is 500 miles northwest of the Azores,
and nearly midway between Boston
and Southampton. 1t is improbable
(the natural dogmatists would say
impossible) for tree to drift from
the Azores against current that,
in the neighborhood of the pictur-
esque islands, flows without change
to the southeast.
The tree was strongly under the
influence of the southerly edge Of the
gulf stream when Capt. barley
steamed close to it and made note
ont. Naturally the marine ouid-
nuncs surmise that it came from
some point along land border Of
the wonderful ocean current.
Plainly the tree could not have
drifted from the neighborhood of
Cape Race (Which is about $50 nau-
teal miles west of the point where
Capt. barley saw it), as it was not
the kind of tree that grows in
northern ATTITUDES. The suggestion
that it might have been from a sub
marine forest was scorned by the
navigators, because no sailorman,
nor any kind of man, ever heard of
that kind of a forest. 1t was I'M
questionably, so the shsrpest of the
experts said, relic of a floating
island that became detached from
shore somewhere south of Jackson
vile.
The island may have started from
one of the Bahamas. Perhaps ii
fioated from the Amazon in a freshet
that broke loose, and drifted out in
to the Atlantic. There it may have
been borne north, northeast and
east in the gulf stream until it be-
came disintegrated under the batter
ing force of the seas created by the
February gales.
Floating islands usually have a
foundation of buoyant, tangled reeds
and light roots, mingled with
marshy earth. They are not otter
seen in high ATTITUDES. Only a few
have been seen below Hatteras.
Some have been nearly an eighth of a
mile in diameter.
The tree that Capt. barley saw
probably was part of an island that
had a good deal of tangled buoyancy
as a foundation, which kept it in
good condition for many weeks of its
journey of probably more than 2,OOC

Death win Not Deter Them from
Redseming a Pledge.

~r'''''1 - Y '~NA8Cs
A writer tells the following pathet-
ic story Of sequel to the stoSy Of
Bonelli, who secured the price put
on the head Of a well-known brigand
by numbering an old pilgrim and
palming off the body as that OF the
brigand, says the Westminster Ca
zette. Casanova (the brigand), com
monty called Cappa, was already
dead when Bonelli was beheaded.
The story of his death was pictur-
esque and 1t breathes the ancient
faithfulness and honor of Corsican
character Cappa was Mortified by
the conduct of Bonelli, and, none
the less, much affected by the news
of the murderer's arrest. Cappa felt
hemmed in on all sides and fled to
the mountains of Prunelli-di-Sium
Orbo. This district has long been
famous for the courage and hardness
of its sons. In Louis XVIII.'s reign
few of its hillmen kept 5000 SOL
diers at bay. Here Cappa withdrew
and hid himself in lonely valley,
watched over by shepherd friends,
and here the hunted outlaw fell sick
The mountaineers tended him as
well as they were able. An old
priest also ministered to his COM
fort and, while succoring the needy
body, tried as well to play the soul
friend" to the bandit. He influenced
Cappa sufficiently to make him prom
ise never again to use gun or knife
In killing fellow man.
Cappa was still i'll when the annu-
al fiesta of a distant village came
round. The shepherds had no fears
for their guest. They did not know
that spies were set to watch him.
The men of the valley were seen
leaving the place and information
was sent to the nearest gendarmerie.
The sick man had with him only a
few children, some of whom kept a
lookout
The police, who were not in strong
force, ventured with grave misgiv-
ings into the dangerous, scarcely
known region. On perceiving them
the youngsters gave the alarm and
the weak and ailing bandit seized
his gun, making down a narrow path
for a wall, beyond which was the
Magnis-the outlaws asylum, "the
theater" of the Scottish royalists,
otherwise dear life, safety When he
had all but gained the wall he saw
single gendarme close to him.
Cappa was a dead shot. In an in
slant he had covered his enemy. But
he remembered his solemn promise
to the old priest. He dropped his
weapon and let the gendsrme GO
free, The police are under orders to
shoot down bandits as a keeper
shoots down vermin. This fellow, OF
course, fired Cappa was hard hit,
but he dragged himself across the
fence and into the thick covert--far
he could not go. On his knees,
clasping his gun with one arm and
with the other clasping tree bole,
bis pursuers found him some hours
afterward, stark and cold, quite
dead.

APPEARANCES DO NOT COUNT.
How Senator Jones Nonplused New
York JeWelrY Salesman.

How Senator Jones NonpIuseo new
York Jewelry Salesman.
A tall man in black clothes of nc
particular style entered a Broadway
jewelry shop the other day and
asked to see watch, says the New
York Sun. The clerk, sizing him
up for a poor country person who
would be well rid of, produced 5000
timepiece as a discourager. The
stranger looked it over and asked to
see something better. Winking to
the cashier, the clerk reached for a
specially made chronometer, the
price of which he felt would be a
squelcher. The seedy man ex-
amined the watch and inquired its
value.
Zone Thousand dollars" said the
bright clerk. ..r.
"Ah," observed the customer.
LET me see q chain, please"
An expensive chain was produced,
and then the visitor selected valu-
able charm which had been made for
exhibition only. The stranger stuck
the jewelry into his vest pocket, and
the clerk, fearing that he might have
entertained a thief, kept close to the
suspect, who quietly fshed out big
roll of bills, and placed $1,000 gold
certificates upon the counter. Ut
terly, phased, the salesman re-
marked that it was customary to
keep the names Of customers to
identify goods if lost by purchasers.
my name is JONES'" said the
stranger, Senator Jones of Nevada
You may address me at the capitol.
And the silver senator, taking the
change for his gold certificates, de-
parted.

A THOUGHTFUL WIFE.
She Was a Great Helpmeet to Her
Physician Husband.

The young physician was tired
when he returned from his evenings
calls, but as he settled back in his
easy chair, and his pretty wife OF
only month or two took seat be-
side him, he asked affectionately:
"And has my little wife been
lonely?"
"Oh, no." she said animatedly;
"at least, not very. I've found
something to busy myself with"
'Indeed!" he said. What is it2"
"Oh, I'm organizing class. A
lot of young girls and married wom-
en- are in it, and we're exchanging
experiences and teaching each other
how to cook"

"Oh, we send them to neighbors
Just to show what we can do. There's

It's great fun. ,r-~
Dear little woman" he said, lean
ing over and kissing her. Always

tice. Always anxious to extend it. "
