Ii contrast with the animals that
show great fear of man and that dis
trust al unfamiliar sights and sounds
We find others that seem not to know
what 1t is to be afraid. You have prob
ably noticed that some animals will
make friends fcarlcssly the moment
they meet YOU, just as some children

G. Dorian, who was also at that
time running retail grocery on
the lot where Sharpe & Brewer

tcntion to business, and polite treat
ment TO their customers, built up

ness of any concern In the history
of the city, About lS months ago
they sold out their retail business
to Oscar Turner, and have since
that time devoted their attention
exclusively TO Wholesale and eonllne
their business to merchants only"

Very few people know it, but il is n
fact that the pension Office building is
the largest brick building in the
world. 1t has been subjected to much
criticism, but it can stand il, for as
the time passes along there are many
things seen about it that escaped no
tice when it was newer. In all there
are over 10000, 600 Dricks in the build
ing, says the Washington Star. Gen.
Meigs took liberties with bricks that
no other architect had ever attempted.
He not only used bricks exclusively for
the building, but he used them in con-
structing the stairs throughout the
building. In the matter Of stair-build-
ing bricks have often been used for
the raiser, but the step has always boon
Of iron, wood or slate or stone. In the
pension Office both raiser and stem are

pure and simple. it is unique in con-
struction, outside of the fact that il Is

A Sensational Suit.

A San Francisco dispatch Of the
18th says a suit OF a decidedly sensa-
tional character has been filed by
Nellie O'Donnell ~against Henry L.

Marie S. Murphy and Eugene p.
Murphy. Nellie O'Donnell was for
many years the trusted housekeeper
OF j. NJ. Byrue, a capitalist and real
estate owner. who died last Septem.
Der. The plaintiff charges that Byrne
had upon numerous occasions, de-
ciared his intentions Of making suit
able provisions FOR her maintenance
after his death, and that shortly be-
fore his death Byrne took from u safe
an envelope indorsed with her name
and containing 200 shares Of the
capital stock Of The Market Street
Railroad Company, fifty shares Of
the capitol stock to the Spring Val
ley Water Co, and other stocks and
bonds OF which a description Is not

The confidential relation existing
between Mr.. Byrne and his house.

intrusted with the combination OF

it was found that he had left a will
disposung OF the bulk of his estate to
his relatives, but making, it is said,
no disposition OF the stocks and
bonds given, rs alleged, to Miss
O'Donell.
Miss O'Douell alleges that on the
day after the death OF Byrne, Henry
l.. Byrne, accompanied by his wife
and daughter, called at the house
and demanded the combination OF
the safe and insisted upon his right
to open the safe and examine its
contents. She at first demurred. but
as Byrne Was extremely obstinate.
she iirally yielded and gave him the
combination.
On the following day the executors
visited the house and made a formal
examination OF the safe Pud an in
ventor, of its contents. Among
other papers they found an envelope
addressed to Miss O'Donnell. that
contained twenty-five shares OF the
capital stock Of the Spring Valley

Novel Small Change.

A very interesting report on the
trade Of Ads Abbaba, Abyssinia,
compiled by Mr.. Rennell Rodd, has
just been issued by the foreign Of
fec.
The products exported from that
part Of the country are gold, ivory.
civet, wax and coffee. Tho marke.
for tho two former is largely con-
trolled by the Emperor Menelik. who
receives his tribute in this form. This
partial monopoly and the competi-
ton OF merchants importing goods
from the coast 10 obtain gold to send
back have driven up the value, and
gold has nearly doubled in price
since last year. Tho valuc OF ivory
has also advanced.
Dealing with weights and curren-
cies. Mr.. Rodd adds that it is remark
able that the prestige OF the Emperor
Mcnelik has not succeeded in popu-
larizing tho new dollar stamped with
his head. The only small change for
the dollar consists either Of riffs cart.
ridges or OF pieces OF rock salt some
eight inches long taperiDg to either
end and about two inches broad IN
tho tbickest part. Cartridges have
como into use as small change OF 70
cent years. but they nre easily tam.
pored with. charcoal being substitut.
ed for the powder, and are. therefore.
