Heirs Afraid of . Bomb.

By way of illustrating the nervous ness which the recent explosions have revived here, queer adventure which has just befallen the heirs of a house owner may be mentioned. They had met at the dwelling of their departed uncle for the purpose of drawing up an Inventory of his effects ill company with lawyer and had nearly completed their task when one of them pulled out of cupboard a metal box, which was laid on the table and which the man of business was about to open, when one of bis nieces cried out in horror: Don't touch it! Look, that is fuse. D Sure enough, there was little something popping out of the cover ''It is a bombl" exclaimed the panic stricken heirs in chorus, and then they proceed ed to remark that their deceased rela- tive had been moody. silent and re- served sort of individual, and thence they inferred that he might possibly have been an anarchist Two of the nephews had had put on their hats and were on the point of rushing of to the office of the nearest police commissary. when the lawyer, who had been quietly inspecting the box, calmly suggested that it might simply contain some pre-. served fruit. This theory somewhat re, assured the men. but the ladies would have their way. The commissary was sent for, and the mysterious box was soon oa its way to the municipal labora- tory. It was found to contain pine- apple. the stalk of which had been mis- taken for fuse. So the good old uncle, who had been Sc ungratefully inaligned, had not been an anarchist after ali.-- Paris Cor.

And the fascination of rapid motion, open air and strenuous exertion throws its spell ove- the assembly, high and low, for trotting is certainly the most fashionable and beloved sport in Russia. You cannot recognize people just yet--the great fur collars are raised and leach over the fur caps, leaving only red tipped noses, beneath which appear never missing cigarettes. The ladies' heads arc almost entirely coy cred by woolen wraps, so here again you can Ui-ly guess who Is who. To stranger not investing his money in backing his opinion as to winners, the game might seem monotonous enough, as the horses do not finish side by side, but ill the way they started. Yet the Russians think differently. and. besides, aro there not plenty of vodka aud cayiare to be had between the races?
 Single horses are pitted against each other, drawing light little sleighs, ill which the driver is seated very low down and far away from the horse. ow- ing to the long shafts intended to give the horse perfect freedom of action. A whip is not used, but on the reins are metal buckles over the quarters, which are employed instead, and almost all horses run without biinkers.

PoLLYs DANDER UP
lnfianed as Sight of an Offensive Biffi 6
 Visitor Wore on Her Hat.


 A bridal couple who put in several days recently taking i'll the sights of the capital enjoyed themselves i'm. mensely until the day preceding their departure. 1t then occurred to che lmido that she had not called rpon dear Fanny, who had been her chuna dur. ing her days at the seminary. Now, Fanny was still enjoying single blessed ness, and this may have had something to do with the anxiety of the bride to call upon her maiden chun. George de- mnrred feebly. but at last consented to pay formal call The bride dressed herself in a fetching gown and placed upon her saucy head Parisian dream in the way of a hat. The hat was one of those indescribable creations of the milliner's art, a mass of flowers with . bird or two partially concealed ill the foliage, so to speak.
 Tho pair went gayly forth and in a hotel coupe were soon at the door of Fanny's residence. Their cards were taken and they were ushered into the drawing room. While awaiting the coming of her friend the brides atten. tion was attracted to large cage con taining 8 splendid parrot. She ehirrupe6 cooingly to the imprisoned bird and wished she might take him out of his cage and caress him. George remarked that he looked tame enough and sug- gested the opening of the door of the cage. Suiting action to tho word, he opened the door and the released bird calmly walked forth and strntted about, blinking his beady eyes know ingly. The bride, with usual calls of Poll, pretty Poll !'' coaxed the bird to- ward her, and poll proceeded to climb up the rounds of tho chair upon which the lady was sitting and perched herself upon the arm of the chain. The parrot uttered guttural cries of "Polly, Polly" this word seemingly comprising her en- tire vocabulary.
 The bird accepted the caresses, and apparently all was serene, bnt without an instant's- warning she uttered scream of rage and flew at the lady's headgear, alighting fairly thereon, and then for a few minutes the air was fill cd with flying feathers and bits of flow. CTS, while the atmosphere was fractured by screams from the bride and discorfl, ant cries from the parrot George at, tempted to come to the rescue and had his face badly scratched for his pains. The lady finally shook the bird loose from the fewer garden she was wear ing upon her hat and made one wild dash for the front door, followed close ly by the bridegroom Once on the pave. ment, they became somewhat composed and determined to return to their hotel to repair damages They did not talry long enough to sec dear Fanny"
 The sudden wrath of tho bird was evidently caused, George thought upon reflection during calmer moments, by the fact that amid the flowers ill his wife's hat there nestled stuffed Caro-. line parrakeet. which the parrot took to be real live rival and proceeded forthwith to demolish. The bride is now a thorough convert to the teach ings of the Audubon society. ington Post

She Won Her Bet.

The efficiency of the employees of tho Jacksonville postoffice was put to a Sey we're test recently, when the distributi ing clerk came across photograph with postage stamp attached and the only direction on it as follows. says the Flor ida Times Union:
 Deliver to ---, Jacksonville, Fla. ''
 Several of the employees were shown the picture, which was taken with a small camera, and which did not show the face of the person photographed very distinctly One of the carriers named Walter 0. Coleman, the general travelling agent Of the F. c. and P. rail- way, was the person. Several of the clerks and carriers did not think that it was intended for MT. Coleman, while others sided with the Bay street carrier. Finally 8 wager of $l was made. and the carrier started out to deliver it.
 When he reached Ml Coleman s office, that gentleman at once claimed the photograph as one of himself. A week ago or mora, while walking along Bay street, he met a young lady with a kodak, who took a snap shot at him in front of the Gardner building. She said that if the picture was a good one she would send it to him. 1t also appears that the young lady won wager made with her father cn the delivery of the photograph to Mr. Coleman with only the directions above.

Yellow Alaska Cedar.

:. The durability of this timber is fore, bly illustrated by fallen trunks that are perfectly sound after lying in the damp woods for centuries. Soon after these trees fall they are overgrown with moss in which seeds lodge and eerminate and grow up into vigorous saplings, whch stand in row OH the backs of their dead ancestors. Of this company ot young trees perhaps three or four will grow to full stature, sending down straddling roots on each side and estab- fishing themselves in the soil, and after they have reached an age of 900 or 300 years the dnwntrodden trunk on which they are standing, when cut into, Is found as fresh in the heart as when it fell --JohD Muir ill Century.

 Our Neixhhors.

Our neighboTs generally are the peo pie who have houses near to our own, that nearness varying according to the size of the district and the number of householders of the same social rank az ourselves. h town they live in the same street: in apartments they are on the same corridor; in the country they are separhted by field only or a garden wall; i'll sparsely tenanted places they are at distance of mile or two miles, or it may be six. Ane the neighhor par excellence is the one who lives close alongside of ourselves-perhaps in the ether half of the semidetached house where we have our home or just across the road and opposite, not to the side. This is ths general idea of neighbor, and when we use tue term we rarely mean aught else.
 But i'll point of fact we have neigh bors wherever we turn-men and wom. en to whom we are bound to render such service of kindness as comes into the possibilities of the time and place. It is not only domicile and the rates and taxes which make us neighbors. It is not only when we live divided iy a party wall one from the other at the foot of the hill. or standing face to face across the road, when we can signal our goings out and our comings ill and be helpful and neighborly in the matter of tue garden roller and the preserving pan. It is not only when we know all the family history, and how our friends and neighbors are impeccable as to their grandfather and without the crooked lines of scandal across their family escutcheon. It is not necessary to be intimate, nor even to have been intro duced, for. the obligations of neighbor. liness to be strict and strong. Foi wherever we can render service, show a courtesy or do kindness we have our work cut ont for us iii the way of duty to our neighbor, and he is our neighbor who stands i'll need, great or small, of such help as we can offer.-Philadel. phia Times.

JONES' STRATEGY.

 Great Scheme.

He Got His New Suit at Half Price by 6
 Great Scheme.
 Jones' new suit fits beautifully, but he was $l0 shy on the price. lie needed the suit badly, but his tailor was de- cidedly disinclined to part with it till it was paid for. After lying awake all night revolving in his mind various schemes old and new to got possession of the coveted attire Jones evolved a brilliant idea. He put on high collar two sizes too large for him, went to bis tailor and tried on the coat again. Of course it did not fit aronnd the cellar and would have to be let out. The next day he put on collar half size too small and tried it on again. The collar of the coat bulged out in the back as if it had been constructed for the neck of pugilist.
 Il can't wear that thing, " declared Jones. It docs not it at all. y
 No, it does not seem to. '' admitted the tailor.
 You've tinkered with it now till you have nearly ruined it. ! guess don't want if. ]"
 Well, I'll tell you what I'll do, T proposed the tailor. who did not want misfit left on his hands .sI'll knock of So on the price ?
 Don't want suit that don't fit. I declared Jones
 Well, HI make it $l0''
 Make it $12 50 and I'll take it..
 All right, but lose money on ib at that ''
 Jones paid another tailor sI to have the collar altered, paid for his suit and had $l. 50 with which to "wetit. "-San Francisco Post.

Early American Bishops.

Before the war for American inde- pendence the American Episcopalians, who were connected with the English church, were never suffered to have s bishop among them. buu remained un- der the jurisdiction of the bishop of London. The rite of confirmation was unknown, and every candidate for or dination was obliged to travel to Eng land. Out of 52 candidates who came from America for ordination in l767 10 died on the voyage. At length, after the United States had been declared in- dependent, Dr. Senbury was ordained bishop of Connecticut by the prinus and bishops of Scotland, the prelates of the English church having refused to consecrate him.-London News.

STANDARD TIME.
The Four Sections Into Which the Ceun-
 try k Divided.

try Is Divided.
 Primarily, for the convenience of the railroads, standard of time was estab- lished by mutual agreement in 1888, by which trains are run and local time reg ulated. According to this system, the United States, extending from 65 to l25 degrees west longitude, is divided into four time sections, each of I5 degrees of longitude, exactly equivalent to one hour. The first teastern) section in- cludes all territory between the Atlantic coast and an irregular line drawn from Detroit to Charleston, the latter he- ing its most southern point The sec. ond teentral) section includes all the territory between the last named line and an irregular line from Bismarck to the mouth of the Rio Grande.
 The tbird (mountain) section includes all territory between the last named line and nearly the western borders of Idaho, Utah and Arizona. The fourth tPacific) section covers the rest of the country to the Pacific coast. Standard time is uniform inside each of these sec- tions, and the time of each section diff fers from that next to it by exactly one hour. Thus at l2 noon in New York city (eastern time) the time at Chicago (central time) is II a. m.; at Denver (mountain time), 10 8. m., and at San Francisco Pacific time), 6 9o'cloek q. m.
 Standard time is 16 minutes slower at Boston than true local time, min utes slower at New York, 8 minutes faster at Washington, 19 minutes faster at Charleston, 28 minutes slower at De. troit, IS minutes faster at Kansas City, 10 minutes slower at Chicago. minute faster at St. Louis. 28 minutes faster at Salt Lake City and 10 minutes faster as San Francisco.
