CAUGHT ON THE FLY.

Russia appears to be the place for
unappreciated singers. Little Sigrid Ar
nolGson, who was here with her thread
like soprano voice three years ago, has
been singing in Russia nearly all this
season and is to get $1,000 for every per-
Torrance in Moscow during the corona
ton ceremonies. Tamagno has been
singing in St. Petersburg with great sue
cess, and in a final performance of
'Otello," which he gave at the particu-
lar request of the court, the seats in
the orchestra which were reserved for
the nobility sold for $50 apiece. He had
to get permission from Princess Alice of
Monaco to remain in St. Petersburg
tor THIS performance, and it is said that
Maj. Domo of the court, who wanted to
make him present of money on behalf
of the Gar, hesitated to do it and gave
his daughter a set of jewels instead.
Evidently the Russian idea of the tenor's
disposition differs as much from the
American as the estimates of his tai
ents. The notion that he would hesitate
to accept the present seem incongruous
III view of the fact that he used to sell
at the box Office here the complimentary
tickets given to him, carried his brother
along as his valet, and rolled his trunk
down the pier to the steamer himself to
save fee to the porter.-New York Sun.
Two correspondents Of the Chicago
Evening Post furnish the following YER

Scots, in Latin:

Adore, implorO, ut There's me.
In dura catena,
In miSera pOena,
l1anguendo, gemendo ct genu fectendO,
Adoro, ImplOrO, ut liberer me!
The second is this:
0 Domino Deus! speravi in tie;
cara me Jesu, nunc liberia me.
In dura catena, in misera poena desidero tie
Languendo, gemendo ct genu f1ectendo,
Adore, imploro, ut There's me.
A portly old gentleman was with diff
ficulty making his way down the street
on very windy day. The strong gusts
occasionally carried him from side TO
side in a lacking sort of fashion, which
finally brought him up with a crash
against an 1rishman who was plastering
show bills on a fence. The old gentle
man very politely begged the bill posters
pardon, and hoped he had not incon yeni-
enced him much by getting in his way.
So much politeness puzzled the bill pos
ter, and in a rich Irish brogue, he re-
piled:

Yawning Fishes.

1t is not generally known that fish
yawn. The writer saw turbot yawn
twice and a cod once, the latter being
one Of the widest yawns accomplished
by any animal of its size. The yawn Of
turbot, being something not common
ly seen, deserves particular description.
A turbot's mouth is twisted on one
side, rather as if it had belonged to O
round fish which some one had accident
ally trod on and squashed half fiat The
yawn begins at the lips, which opens as
if to suck in water. Then the jaws be-
come distended, and it is seen that this
is going to be a real, genuine subma-
rine fish's yawn. But the yawn goes ON,
works through the back Of its head, dis
tending the plates of the skull and
comes out at the gills, which open, show
the red inside, are inflated for q mo-
ment, and then, with kind of stretch
ing shiver of it's back, the fish fiattens
out again, until, if unusually bored, it
relieves itself by another yawn.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

A DEADLY OCCUPATION.
Bringing Out Borax From the Riffs II
Death Valley.

Bringing Out Borax From the Riffs In
Death Valley.
The deadliest occupation for men OF
horses is teaming in the borax fields Of
Death valley Of the great American des.
ert. There the longest teams in the
world are employed. Scientists declare
that the fierce heat in this narrow rent
in the cracked surface Of tho earth is
not equaled elsewhere in the world.
Where the thermometer often registers
140 degrees Of heat unrelieved by even
breath Of air, where men sleep at
night in hollow bitches filed with wa
ter in order to avoid dying from COL
lapse, the necessity for the longest
teams Of mules and horses ever harness
ed to draw the great borax laden wag.
ons is apparent. ..,
The desert team is the longest in the
world, and the percentage Of deaths
among the horses is greater than that
Of domestic animals used in any other
calling. Forty to 60 horses are often
hitched to one Of the numbering vehi-
cles in which the borax is slowly drag
ged across the sun baked alka1i plains.
The average life of even the sturdiest
horses used in this work is six months,
for in this length Of time they either be-
come broken winded, consumptive from
inhaling the deadly dust of the desert
or are driven crazy by the frightful heat.
A man there, though protected by the
wagon awnings from the suns rays.
cannot go an hour without water with
out danger of death. When a team
breaks down and the water supply be-
comes depleted, the men ride ON at top
speed for the nearest source of supply,
and often when they return they find
that the remaining horses, made mad
by thirst, have broken from the harness
and dashed off only to find death in the
desert.
The borax wagons weigh 5000
pounds and carry 900 pounds at a
load. Behind each wagon is tank con-
tanning hundreds of gallons of water.
The horses are harnessed in pairs, the
trained ones in the lead, and the next

jaw shorter than the other, and from
the bride runs a braided rope, which
the driver, perched on the wagon seat,
holds in his right hand.
Tho rope is called the "jerk line and
is little longer than the team, which
stretches out several hundred feet in
front of the wagon. During the busy
season the borax wagons make an al
most continuous train, and the horses
alone, if placed in single file, would
make team more than 100 miles long
Besides a little food and water the
poor animals get no care. They curry
themselves by rolling in the burning
sand. After few months Of the killing
labor the poor creatures become unfit
for service. A kindly rife ball then ends
their agony, and their emaciated car
cases are left alongside the trail to fur

tures.-California Letter.

1t was black in the face and its tongue hung
out while they rifed it of its name, It's prin

spectacle for old Democrats who. whatever
their alterations on other subjects. do actually

true that the Populists at Chicago stole the
Democratic party and used it TO nominate their
own candidates upon their own platform. And
now the Populists at 81. Louis are considering
with much animation and not infrequent cuss
words the question whether, upon the whole
their ravshment Of the Democratic party at
Chicago will be generally understood as Pop
ulst victory. or whether it Is not necessary in
order to assert themselves with unmistakable
dstnctness and clearness that they should
vary the Chicago platform slightly in terms
and by nominating n candidate OF their own
for VicePresident show TO the world that they
have not gone out Of business, but are actually
a political party. No question of principle Is
involved. 1t Is simply question which party
swallowed the other at Chicago, and who Is

A RAID on TRUST DEPOSITS.

Some startling considerations are aroused by
the trust companies reports. published yester-
day Abstracts were printed from official doc
uments of the yearly statements Of twenty-five
companies in this city and Brooklyn for the
year ended June 80. 1896. These companies do
a general business throughout the country. re-
cciving money on deposit subject 10 draft, as
ordinary commercial banks, or holding 1t as an
investment and paying interest on II, as savings
banks They are favOrlte repositories for
money held In trust, and thus have charge Of
the entire fortunes, great or small, Of innumer-
able widows, minor orphans, and other persons
similarly dependent upon invested funds
Their integrity is therefore, matter Of vital
Importance TO a very large part Of the popula
ton of the whole country.
From the figures published yesterday 1t Is
confidently to be believed that these twenty
five metropolitan companies are in a sound sol
vent and eminently trustworthy condition
They now have on deposit the gross sum OF
S25l ,719. That has been intrustcd to them
at 100 cents to the dollar by thousands Of per
sons for safckeeping. They are holding it Sc
curely, subject TO the owners orders, and are
ready today to pay 1t back to the owners at
100 cents to the dollar. There is not one Of
them that is not able and ready to do this 1t
is their business.
But suppose the Chicago ticket should be
elected, and the Chicago platform put into
practice In that case the individual who
had deposited with one of them one hundred
dollars worth 100 cents each would get back
on demand hundred dollars worth only
53 cents each The total mass Of deposits
