them the Spanish and the French lizards,

their education to observe the absolute

without trying 70 bite on run away, and to
hide himself IN my clothes, proferring the
back, where it was warmer. PEDRO, via

withdrew into n corner and then stretch

tening and his mouth wide open, Kissing,
sprineing at the hand that came near him,

to climb up to the windows by some rags

evening he returned to the cage. Pedro

wa;pbt Dead and Alive.

1t is very popular idea that person
when dead weighs heavier than when liv-
ing.
One reason that dead body is thought
to be heavier than u living one is probably
this: In carrying living person we have
the center OF gravity adapted by the per-
son carried to suit the convenience of the
carrier and maintained in position as
far as possible to fall within the base oil
his body.
Again, the elasticity of the structure OF
the body, especially the cartilages, though
not in reality diminishing the weight,
gives an appearance of lightness, as we
see in the beautiful movements of the
stag, and this would seem to corroborate
the notion that living creatures are lighter
than dead ones. 1t has also been asserted
that the breath makes the living body
lighter than the dead.
But we need hardly say that man
when dead weighs no more than when
alive.-London Tit-Bits.

Fell Dead.

Lost His Last Dollar at Poker and Then
Fell Dead.
William Bierley, aged 81, fell dead re-
Gently in "a poker room on Chillicothe
street, Portsmouth, Or. The stakes had
been running high and Bierley had been
losing. He was an inveterate player and
usually cool and successful one, but his
losses excited him. He finally bet his last
dollar on an face full" and called his only
remaining opponent, George Wilson. The
latter laid down straight flush and
reached for the pot. Bierley half arose
with smothered exclamation and dropped
back dead.
His body was laid out on billiard table
in the room, and only the edict of the pro-
prietor prevent ted the other men from con-
tinuing the game and furnishing an Incl
dent that would equal Bret Harte's stories
of the Sierra mining camps. Although
play was interrupted, the sale of liquor
went on briskly in the front room, next
the street, n large crowd being drawn by
curiosity to see the dead man. The coroner
rendered verdict of death from heart dis
ease. -Cincinnati Enquirer.

THEY ARE PRIVILEGED.
Senator Hale Proposes to Stop Lobbying
by Former Senators.


Senator Hale proposes to break up the
business of former senators who make o
practice of lobbying on the floor of the
senate for or against measures pending in
congress.
Under the rules former members Of the
senate are entitled to admission to the
floor Several of these gentlemen are regu-
larly located In Washington as the recog-
nized agents of various interests. Others
come here from time to time to favor or
oppose pending legislation. Access to the
floor and cloakrooms has given these for
mer senators very material advantages over
lobbyists, who, to get the ear of senator,
are obliged to send in their cards and await
his pleasure in the marble room.
The senator from Maine astonished his
associates recently by moving an amend
ment to the rules restricting the privileges
of the floor to such former senators as are
mot interested in any claim or the prose
cution of the same or directly in any bill
pending before congress. F" Added to the
formal motion was an explanation that II
was intended to prevent former senators
from enjoying the privileges of the floor
to urge or oppose claims or bills for which
they were employed as attorneys.-New
York Herald.

To the People of the United States:
"A brave and generous people will aid the
oppressed Cuba is under brutal tyran-
ny. Inspired by our history she freely
bleeds for independence and appeals TO us
for help. We must hear, and hearing
promptly act. An irrepressible conflict be-
tween republicanism and monarchy was
inaugurated by Washington and his COM
patriots, and as trustees Of the great polit-
ical inheritance from them we must be in
that conflict whether we will or not when
ever any intelligent people fires the OPEN
ing gun for freedom. BY an unparalleled
career Of courage and sacrifice the Cubans
have proved their right to self govern
inent. Our people, to keep untarnished
the heroic crown of our fathers, which our
government at Washington for three years
has failed TO do, muse extend material
support to the embattled heroes on Cuban
SOIL The passive policy of the admins
tration, in emulation of the last, still re-
presses tho nobler impulses of our people
while foul murder continues. To give now
Is more than to fight He who supplies
the weapon is brother in achievement to
him who yields it.

points, deposited there with banks or bust

serve send addresses of themselves and a
bank to the Red, White and Blue league,

A Hand Written Book.

Colonel Noble ID. Preston of this city
has completed a most remarkable book.
Except for some photographs and one or
two Autographs, the entire book Is the
work of the authors pen. The workman
ship could not be more perfect or beauti-
full, and it took Colonel Preston most OF
his leisure time of eight years to complete
1t. The title on the back of the book is
"Preston's Pen Pictures, Medals, Songs
and Sketches, Medal of Honor, Loyal Le-
gion, Biographies, Bugle Blasts, Family
Genealogies, etc.-Noble ID. Preston"
On opening the book ones first idea Is
that the pages are fine examples of copper
plate engraving, but closer inspection
shows that it is all pen work, done with
very fine pointed pen. Not from any ir'
regularity in the work can this be told,
however, as every letter is as perfect and
every line as even as the best example OF
the engraver's art. Each letter Is separate.
Only a man of unbounded patience and
absolute control of his nerves could have
done it, AT the heads of the chapters are
bits of scroll work, done in ink of various
colors. and the initial letter of each chapter
is a remarkably beautiful piece of illumin-
alton. Besides this, there Is scroll and
margin work ON some of the pages.
Under the heading of preface" which
is itself an exquisite bit of penmanship,
the author SAYS: IL made this novel vol
ume with pen and ink for my children by
special request 1t possesses no literary
merit and little of any other. The edition
is limited to one volume and is not copy
righted." The main body of the volume
is taken up by "reminiscences of incidents
of the authors career as u member OF the
Tenth New York cavalry. -Philadelphia
