Queer sprigs of Gentiiity.

1t Is peculiar but not altogether sur
prising fact that when scions of the no.
bility OF Europe wed American heiresses
and return TO the eastern hemisphere
they invariably drift either during the
course of their honeymoon or shortly af-
terward to Monte Carlo for the purpose
of INDUCING in the satisfaction and ex-
citement of gambling, without any fear
as TO the consequence, since If they have
bartered name and title for cold cash
they think 1t only right that they should
be at liberty to squander II as they
please.
AS soon as Prince Hatzfeldt married
Miss Huntington he made his way to
Monte Carlo and tempted fortune at
rouge ct noir and trente eft quagante
with stakes of a magnitude to which he
had never previously been accustomed.
The same may be said of Prince Coonna,
who married the daughter of Mrs. Bo-
nanza Mackay; of the Due de Dino, who
married the divorced wife of Mr.. Stevens
of New York, and of Count Castellane.
who married Miss Gould; and now 1t ap-
pears that the Duke of Marlborough on
reaching Europe made straight for Monte
Ca rlo where he was seen at the tables
daily, on one occasion playing side by
side with one of his cousins. the Marquis
of Camden, with whom, however, he
never exchanged word. The two had
never previously met and, although they
were aware of each others identity, not
having been introduced they ignored each
others presence. The Due de Dino was
playing at the same time, and astonish-
ed every one by the size and recklessness
of his stakes, which. since he Is penniless,
naturally c9me out of the pocket-of his
American wxe.

PRODUCTS OF ALASKA.
Great Natural Resources in Timber ar
Mrnarola

Great Natural Resources in Timber and
Minerals.
Prof. Benjamin Sharp gave lecture at
the Academy of Natural Sciences Friday
evening on Alaska, detailing some obser-
vations made last summer on the trip
in the United States steamship Bear.
Referring to the climate at Sitka, he
said it was about the same as at Phila-
delphia, with an average annual temper
ature of so degrees Fahrenheit. One res
idept told him that in five winters spent
there the thermometer had fallen below
zero but once. Mosquitoes abound dur
ing the summer months.
There is an abundance of fine timber
in that country, some individual trees
seen by the party being feet In dame
ter at feet from the ground. Great
quantities of timber are brought down
by the floods in the rivers, especially the
Yukon river. which is one of the largest
In the world and the winds or ocean cur
rents distribute it on the shores of Alas
ka, and never on the opposite shores of
Siberia, where none is found.
The United States government is en-
deavoring to domesticate the reindeer in
Ala ska, where they have never been in
troduced, and is establishing a station
where 1000 will be kept to place out with
natives and settlers, who can keep them
for five years, keeping the increase and
of the period. The Bear brought over
from Siberia for this purpose loo rein
deer. They were small and of variety
of colors, like ordinary cattle. They
made noise like pigs, and by shutting
the eyes the delusion was complete.
One of the most valuable industries,
which is now nearly extinct, is the cap
ture of the sea otter BY the treaty with
Russia none but a native or an Aleut
can capture them. The present price
for skins as they run is $780, and special
ly fine ones are worth $500. Formerly
as many as 800 were taken in one season,
but only an occasional one Is now taken.
They are shot while swimming in the
sea, and can only be seen In very smooth
water as they only put the tip of their
nose above the surface. The taking Of
otter and seal at sea is what is termed
'pelagic fishing"
Gold mining is becoming an important
industry in Alaska. There is said to be
more gold in the mountains of that ter
ritory than in any portion of the noun
tains south of there. Stamp mills are al
ready in operation. The question of
boundaries, which has arisen between
Great Britain and the United States,
is likely to become an important one in
connection with this industry. Under
the treatment with Russia the boundary
is described as running parallel with the
coast line and 100 miles inland. The
British claim the coast line is outside
of the islands, which would leave the
mountains in which the gold is found on
British territory.

Before he could make his escape the
hat was again seized, and again became
the center of q rush.
Once more the man got the hat, clapped
1t on his head and was rushing away
when he was intercepted by the man who
had originally taken it from the visitors
head.
With great politeness the joker handed
over the visitors own hat, as glossy and
perfect as If 1t had just come from the
hatter's block, nd took the old hat in res
turn.
The visitors surprise increased He
scrutinized the new hat. 1t was certainly
his. Then he joined in the general laugh.
He had simply been initiated into the
mysteries of the board of trade hat trick,
the first point in which is bit of sleight-
of-hand work by which hats are changed,
and the stock hat, kept for the purpose,
is kicked into the ring of jokers.

WHAT WILL THE PRESIDENT DO

If the president believes in the theory
advanced by him in the Venezuela mes
sage he will be compelled to sign the Gu
ban resolution. Unquestionably both the
senate and the house, and both the repub-
lican and democratic parties as represent
ed in these bodies, are SO committed to
the Cuban cause by their votes on this
resolution that they can do nothing but
back up any action he may take, no matt
ter how radical. In his speech in the
house last Saturday Chairman Hitt in
support of the resolutions, said in answer
to question as to whether the passage
of the resolutions would confer belliger-
ent rights on the Cubans:
Il belive that 1t will because I believe
that the president of the United States
Is not so recreant to his duty as an agent
and servant of the people that he will
disregard the vote of the people of the
United States as expressed through the
house of representatives and senate by
such vast ma jorities." 5t
: When asked If he spoke by authority Of
any one in the executive branch of the
government, Mr.. Hit replied that he did
not; that he spoke solely from his hope
and belief. This, of course, leaves the
whole matter to conjecture, and with a
man of President Clevelands disposition
TO deal with one mans conjecture is as
good as another's. There seems to be no
doubt, however that Cuban recognition
in some form will come soon.

Cheese and COurtship.

Aristocracies in different places and
ages have prided themselves on many
different things. One of the queerest,
perhaps, is the aristocracy according to
cheeSeS, which, according to the "Neuve
Zurlcher Zeitung," prevails among the
patricians of Zermatt. The aristocracy
OF families is valued by the number and
age of the cheeses they possess. There
are families who possess cheeses made
at the time of the French revolution.
When child is born, a cheese is manu-
featured, which is then called by the
name of the child. 1t is partly eaten
when its namesake gets married, each
wedding-guest taking a portion. The
cheese is then put away again, and fin
ally cut into and finished at the funeral

the master of the house solemnly fetches

name, sets it on the table. cuts it. and
gives a piece to the young couple. When
they have eaten it, they are betrothed

of the cheese and drink to the eternal
friendship of the two families.-London
