A GREAT MAN-BarOn Hirsch, the
millionaire and philanthropist, died of
apoplexy, in Austria ON the 14th, aged
63 years. He was one of the wealth
lest men of the Jewish race, and what
is more did an immense amount of
good with his money ameliorating the
condition of the poor and distressed.
1t is unfortunate that he could not
have lived, for with a fortune estimated
at $500, 900, 900 we cannot place an estl-
mate on the blessings that he would
have conferred upon the people who

To believe French writer, there are
 no fewer than four thousand women caught every year in stealing during their shopping expeditions, habit eu- phoniously styled kleptomania. The number of titled ladies seized with this strange malady while examining the fashions of Paris, he tells us, is incred- ible. Among the most recent culprits were a Russian duchess, French countess, an English duchess and the daughter of reigning sovereign. As a rule, these distinguished offenders are let off on the payment of a round sum for the relief of the poor; when the shoplifter is known to be rich, the sum extracted rises to as much as ten thousand francs. The police authori- ties consent to this sort of conformation.

ANOTHER ICE PERIOD.
A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus
 of Panama.

''The best scientific authorities pre- dict dire effects from the cutting of canal through either the Isthmus of Panama or Tehuantepec. The late George R. Marsh said of this that a new ice period might be occasioned by the withdrawal of so important source of warmth from the northern zones, and Sir John Herschel wrote: Were the Isthmus of Panama broken through there is no doubt that the whole climate of our island (Great Britain) would un dergo most, notable deterioation.' The sum of S9,000,000 has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- tenn; the Hennepin canal has had $1,- 100000 spent on it. and work has stopped until new appropriations can be made. Matt Quay is using his influence for the construction of ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost SIG, ,oo0,000, and ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the ex- penditure of S50, ,000, ,000 in canalizing the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. One of the most stupendous of these engineering works is the Chicago drainage canal, now in progress, which is to cut the divide which bars the way between Chicago and the Mississippi river. The distance is only 30 miles between Lake Michigan and the Illinois river, and one can easily see the startling nature of d union of the great lakes and the father of waters'' y

HUNG IN MIDAIR.
The Perilous Plight of . Soldier In Chi
 nese Thibet.

An amusing story is told of the Eng fish officer who determined to enter Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man. aged to cross the frontier at night, and so escaped the guard.
 On the following day, however, while tle officer was journeying deeper into Thibet, the Thibetan soldiers overlook him, and informed him that as the country was unsafe because of rob- bers, they would go with him in order to protect him, to which arrangement the traveller was compelled to agree. In a few hours they came to river, which was crossed by rope bridge.
 The Thibetans passed over first, in or der to show that the bridge was safe, and then the official got into the moose and was pulled along by the Thibetans, Suddenly, however, they ceased pull ing, and left the Englishman hanging in midair above the rushing torrent.
 In vain the officer shouted to the Thibetans to pull. They merely smoked and nodded their heads. The hours passed, and still the officer hung above the torrent. At last the Thibetans agreed to pull him back if he would leave Tibet immediately. This, of course, he was compelled to do, and took his departure from the forbidden land,

\ Pigmy for Epicures Now Served by

 It is generally conceded that small bird makes a very dainty meal for one person, and it must have been source of regret to many that it was seldom possible to obtain chicken just large enough for one man with moderate appetite. The difficulty has now been removed, in Paris at least, says the New York Journal.
 Many Paris hotels and restaurants are now introducing as novelty into their menus what mi ght be described as lone man, one chicken" Everyone who understands anything of the appe- tite of man understands that he likes best to tackle bird single-handed. With the ordinary fowl this was, of course, impossible, so the ingenious chef proceeded to develop, or rather curtail, the spring chicken, and now a three-months-old bird is served to each guest, just as though it were quail or plover. That there is any stability in the body of so young and tender a chicken can hardly be admit ted; but the novelty has been greatly appreciated, especially by Americans in Paris, and there is already demand, and a great one, for f1edgling barn. doors.

HAD BEGUN TO PROSPER.

A Periodically Humorous Story Told of
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.
 A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells pathetically humorous story Of a friend of his, Jack Negly, a Cumber' land farmer. The writer had lent Jack A few dollars, with which to buy pair of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying dlf- ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field, dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months. When I did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-field and came out to the fence. Hello" I exclaimed. ''Is this your farm?" *,'
 "Yes, and jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long,"
 ''You must be doing well2'
 q think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way"
 'I'm always glad to help, if can.
 ''I knowed that, colonel, and that's why come away over here so fer frum bona H;t,s kinder stranpe to me. but ez long ez I'm doin' ez well ez l am I'm a-goin' to stand hit"
 Are you making any money?"
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
 ''No, ain't, colonel, he replied, hope fully; "but Pm losin' it slower'n ever done in my life afore."
 It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness.

THE TAPER.
Keeps Up an Industrious Racket During
 Absence of WOrkmen.


 A man fell from the housetop in the city of Aberdeen, and was brought into hospital with broken bones. He was asked what vas his trade, and replied that he WAS a taper. No one had ever heard of such thing before, says the Amateur Emigrant; the officials were filled with curiosity; they besought all explanation. It appeared that when party of skaters were engaged upon a roof they would now and then be taken with fancy for the public house. Now, a seamstress, for example, might slip away from her work and no one be the wiser, but if these fellows adjourned the tapping of the mallets would cease, and thus the neighborhood would be advised of their dereiction. Hence the ;areer of the tapper. He has to do the tapping and keep up an industrious hustle on the h~setop during the ab- sence of the skaters.
 When he taps for only one or two the thing is child's play, but when he has to represent whole troop it is then that he earns his money in the sweat of his brow. Then must he bound from spot to spot, reduplicate, triplicate, sextuplicate his single personality, and swell and hasten his blows, until he produces perfect illusion for the ear, and you would swear that crowd of emulous maSons were continuing mer- rily to roof the house It must be & strange sight from an upper window.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property.

WILSON'S WARNING.

Watson is dissatisfied with the
treatment he is receiving, and it is
only surprising that he has not com
planned sooner. He now publicly
declares: Under present condi-
tions Mr.. Bryan cannot get the full
Popuilst vote.
They (the Populists) may not be
able to break up the fusion deal, but
they can stay at home.
With one accord the Bryan and
Sewall papers have given me moth
ing but disparagement, misrepresen-
tation and ridicule"
Every word Mr.. Watson says in
this respect is true. What care the
Democrats for Populists or the prin-
ciples Populists are contending for?
1t has always been their boast and
their greatest element of strength
that, regardless of results, they
would vote their true sentiments.
In Oregon, as in many other states,
they are called upon to vote, not for
what the believe in, or have always
professed to believe in, but for the
elevation to Office of Democrats.
Sewall is to be vice president if
Jones and the other managers can
make him so, and Watson is to be
but sacrifice. He and all men who
want to see him vice president have
a right to be dissatisfied.
Mr.. Watson says: tsThey (the
Porulists) will not stultify them
selves by voting against their prin-
ciples." This they must do if they
acquiesce In the trade made between
the leaders of Bryan's campaign.
It will be seen that Bryan is not,
and will not be, taken to visit Wat
son. The plan is to elect Sewall,
who, for every reason, should be
more Objectionable to PopuIists than
any man on either ticket.
