The Gums Wore Erred

The late Congressman Holman some
years ago was chairman of committee to
investigate alleged Indian abuses. In the
course of its journeyings the committee
visited Reno Colonel f. V. Sumner of
the Fifth cavalry was in command of the
fort, and as the distinguished party en-
tered the Enclosure he caused salute to
be fired The cannon roared, and there was
a great demonstration. When the colonel
came forward to greet the visitors, Judge
Holman said: "Colonel, what is all that
cannonading for? What's the occasion of
itP" at is salute in honor of you gentle
men," explained Colonel Sumner. "Then
stop 1t; stop it right off. 1t is useless

BLOND AND BRUNETTE.
The Extremes In the Distribution of the
Two Throughout Europe.

In rough way, the extremes in the dis
tribution OF the blond and brunette varie-
ties within the population OF Europe are
as follows AT the northern limit we find
that about onc-third of the people are pure
blends, characterized by light hair and
blue eyes; about one-tenth are pure bru
nettes, the remainder, over one-half being
mixed, with "a tendency to blondness On
the other hand in the south of Italy the
pure blends have almost entirely disap-
peared About one-half the population are
pure brunette with deep brown or black
hair, and eyes of corresponding shade,
and the other half is mixed with ten
dency to brunetteness The half and half
line seems to lie about where 1t ought, not
far from the Alps. Yet it does not follow
the parallels of latitude. A circle, de-
scribed with Copenhagen as a center
sweeping around near Vienna, across the
middle of switzerland, thence up through
the British isles, might serve roughly to
indicate such boundary. North of it
blondness prevails, although always with
an apprcciable percentage of pure bru-
nettes. South of it brunetteness finally
dominates quite exclusively. 1t should not
fail of note that toward the east there is
slight though constant increase of bru
netteness along the same degrees of lati'
tube ana that the western portion of the
British isles is u northern outpost of the
brunet e type
mus we see at glance that there is
gradual though constant increase in the
proportion of dark eyes and hair from
north to south. There are none of those
sharp contrasts which appeared upon our
map showing the distribution of the long
and broad heads in Europe On that map
the extremes were separated by only half
continent in either direction from the
Alps. whereas in this case the change from
dark to light covers the whole extent of the
continent. 1t is as If blending wash had
been spread over the map of head form.

O'GRADY TO THE RESCUE.
An Irishmsn's Experience at q Colored
Prayer Meeting.

With one exception the congregation,
that filled the Rev. Mr.. Johnsing's church
were African brunettes. Nor was that
single exception even good stiff ribbed
Methodist like the hundreds of Georgia
darkies that filled the pews about him
during this most important revival meet
ing of the week. In fact, he was a true
Roman Catholic and his name was Dennis
O'Grady. It was the Irishman's first ex-
perience with colored Protestants, so he
chose conspicuous seat in the front row
of the gallery, from which point of van
tage he could observe all that passed be-
meath and thus the more readily pick up
the essential points of the unfamiliar
service
Four hymns and two prayers had paved
the way of Brer Johnsing's sermon. The
preacher rose, and a heavy silence fell up
on the assembled throng. He chose his
text and sailed in. Goodness, how he
argued, how he pleaded, that the poor
hayward sinner might turn from his paths

The Best Record at Coaching.

In st. Nicholas George B. Smith tells
of General Grants White Mountain
Ride. coaching trip during which the
president was driven from Bethlehem to
Profile house in less than an hour by Ed
ward Cox. Mr.. Smith says:
In The Century Magazine for Novem-
Der, 1892, Mr.. Il. Suffern Taller gave the
result of u trial of speed in modern coach
ing. This journey was in France over
roads kept in constant repair 10y strict en-
forcement of law, and the trial was under
the direction of Mr.. James Gordon Ben
nett, which implies that every possible
effort was made to insure quick time.
The course was from The Herald office in
Paris to Trouville, distant 40 miles
Horses stationed in advance were changed
IL times, and driven, as Mr.. Taller him
self shows, unsparingly. Nine people were
In the party, and the time made was, for
the entire trip, 10 hours and 80 minutes,
or little over 12 miles an hour, includ-
ing changes, over macadaniZed French
roads, comparatively level.
Contrast this showing of 12 miles In 60
minutes with every advantage and that of
ii miles in So minutes over mountain
roads in the country, eight horses to be
driven, with 10 people to carry, and the
reader can easily see which is the greater
performance. 1t is probable that Mr.. Cox's
achievement has never been excelled, when
everything is considered.
General Grant, rs he dismounted from
his lofty perch, was n curious spectacle.
Covered with dust from head TO foot he
had the appearance of u man who had been
rolled i'm the road. Hat, hair and whiskers
had suffered alike, and, including his
clothing he was all dust color.

GETTING A BILL CHANGED.
Louisville Merchants Experience ON q
street Car.

! Louisville Merchant Experience ON n
street Car.
A well known tobacco warehouse man.
who l. very digni.led but extremely cour-
teous To the ladies, compromised his dignity
somewhat one morning and at the same
time lost some of his faith in womankind.
He was on n Twelfth street car going to
his place of business, and at Breckenridge
street lady elegantly dressed boarded the
car. She took her seat and reaching into
the labyrinth of skirts drew out from her
pocket "a So bill. The merchant sat near
her, and she requested him TO have the bill
changed.
Certainly, madam, +" he replied as he
took the bill and proceeded to the front OF
the car He poked the bill through the
change opening. The motorman reached
for it, but miscalculated, and the bill went
flying off the car and sailed behind it as
the car sped down the street. The motor
man paid no attention to the accident, but
kept his car running ut its usual rate OF
speed. The bell rope was jerked quickly,
but the car was not stopped until College
street was reached. In the meantime the
woman wanted her money. The merchant
felt that he should get it for her, and as
soon as the car stopped he hastily clam
bered off and ran back in the mud to
where he thought the bill had stopped.
The motorman pounded his gong spiteful-
ly to warn the exasperated merchant that
the car was about to start. The merchant
kept up his chase down the muddy tracks.
The motorman turned on the current and
the car started off. The woman in the
meantime had a case of Mysteries.
"Stop the car That mans running off
with my money. Stop the car, l say" she
screamed.
The motorman sercnely kept the current
turned on. Mr.. Marion f. Taylor, a
distiller, was on the rear platform of the
Car and witnessed tho accident. He rang
the bell, and the motorman stopped the
car at Jacob street. Then he went to the
motorman and insisted on the car waiting
for the belated and much abused gallant
passenger. The motorman waited. Down
the street, surrounded by halo of mud,
the discounted merchant could be seen,
making frantic efforts to catch up with
the Car. He sprinted like an athlete and
finally reached the car with his tongue
almost hanging out, his face red and
streaming with perspiration and his clothes
looking sprinkled with mud. He felt that
inasmuch as he had begun the job he
might as well finish it. He took the bill
to the motorman second time and re-
ceived change in nickels These he handed
to the woman.
II don't want all these nickels. Why
didn't you get me some other kind of
changer" she exclaimed warmly.
The merchant bowed and took his seat.
He will hereafter let women get change for
themselves. Courier journal.

TROLLEY MIKE.
Faithful Follower In the Camp of n
Traction Company.

Jersey City HIS n dog known TO every
re,idont as Trolley Mike. This dog has a
mania for riding on front platforms of
trolley cars and acts as II he felt himself the
friend of every motorman and conductor
within the city limits.
Trolley Mike makes the rounds of the
trolley lines in Jersey City every month.
He rides for a day or two with the motor
men of the Newark road, then day or
two with those of the courthouse line,
next with those of the Bayonne system,
and so on to the end of the list. He is fed
with crusts from motormcn's and con-
ductors' luncheons, and no refuses To take
even raw meat from the hand of man
not wearing the trolley company's uni
form. He clings to inspectors, not yield.
ing his place beside one of these officials
TO anybody or any brute He goes like a
shot at any dog that gets a kind word or a
pat from the conductor or motorman of
the car with which he is travelling and
makes fight which no dog in Jersey City
has been able to equal in the short notice
he allows.
For person in ordinary citizens
clothes Trolley Mike has neither eyes nor
ears nor tail. All Establishments from a
stranger are ignored by him. He walks
through car amid IA chorus of "good
doggy" and mice fellow" without
wag or glance, takes his place beside the
motorman and relaxes his dignity only
when blue clad arm is stretched forth to
pet him. There is not a case on record of
Trolley Mikes having varied his system
attic rounds of the Consolidated Traction
company's lines in Jersey City. When he
once starts his one day or two day in
spection of certain line, he sticks to his
programme despite all offers of sausages
and crusts from the employees of other
lines. In changing routes, moreover, he
follows his own established order, without
varying it under persuasion or attempted
duress, month in and month out.
Trolley Mike is not beautiful to look on.
He is a mixture Of about all things canine
from the ferry to Bergen Point and from
Newark to New York bay. He weighs
about 80 pounds, is short haired and has
coat that suggests nothing
except multiplicity of breeds. His color is
a unique blending of yellow and blush
black. His markings were put on appar-
emily without design. His only adorn-
ments are brass studded collar and tail
like rolling pin.-New York Sun.
