A sparrow's Ride In a Fly wheel.

Il sparrow at Anderson, Ind. 1t flew in

too near a small wheel, was sucked in
The wOrkingmen noticed it go into the
wheel, but knowing that the cylinder
was revolving at a speed of 1870 revolu-
tons a minute, took it for granted that
the bird had been killed When the
factory shut down at noon the men
were astonished TO hear a gentle chirp
from the wheel, and 10, there was the
sparrow as well as ever. They found
that the bird had chung to the strength
ening rod of the wheel and was in a
scmi-dazcd condition. They picked
him up and put him on a table, and
thence, after collecting his wits. the lit
tie bird flew to freedom. The wheel
in which the bird rode made 81 600 rev
olutions while it was upon it. and so
the tiny feathercd creature travelled
seyerty-threc and eight-tenths miles in
the embrace of a flying wheel.-Cleve,

The sleeve of the moment certainly
has length to recommend it almost i'll
proportion to the size it has lost, and
the pretty fall of lace at the wrist is
very becoming.
What every one must have is a crush
belt of velvet-edged tatfeta ribbon and
collar to match. All sorts of similar
accessories are in style, but these two
are essential if the wardrobe is to be
kept up to date.
The ribbons, in plain colors, floral
designs and stripes, are chiefly in tai
feta weaves, and will be worn in large
shoulder bows, belts, sasheS having long
ends, collars and bows across the bust.
An entire piece of ribbon lavished upon

style for which ribbon manufacturers
should be thankful.

SANDY LIVED.
Physicians Absorbed in IL New Cure
Forget All hut One Patient.

Perhaps because the guest of the
evening was a SCOtchman, or possibly
because one man in the party had
Scotch story to tell, the conversation

the Scotch race. 1T was while | was

Velous cure of Scotchman. We will
call him Sandy, though that is not his
name. One of his legs had been so bad
ly mangled in an accident that we de-
cided to amputate it. The shock was
a severe one to Sandy, and when he re-
gained consciousness after the opera
ton it was evident that he had not
vitality enough to recover.
Mon, ahm | going to dee?' he asked.
"'We hope for the best, Sandy l
said, but your condition is critical. Is
there any Scotch dish that you would
likc?'
SANDY said that he didn't want any
thing to eat, but if he could hear the
bagpipe just once more he could die
happy. We didn't have a piper on our

playing outside public house not far
away. When the piper arrived Sandy
was so weak that he could not speak.
He looked grateful. Although it was
not in accordance with our hospital
rules, we hadn't the heart to refuse the
dying request. l gave the signal, the
piper began to play. Sandy smiled
peacefully, and at the end of the second
tune he had gone asleep. His tempera-
ture and pulse showed a remarkable
improvement, and because Sandy was a
good fellow, and he might possibly call
for the piper again before he breathed
his last, we kept the piper. Two hours
later Sandy awoke, and the first thing
that he asked for was the pipes. Again
that weird noise filled the hospital, and
once more Sandy went to sleep, stronger
and better than we had expected him
to be. n third time he awoke, and again
the piper played. When Sandy once

PRIZES FOR PAYING TAXES.
Spanish Methods Offer Irresistible
Inducement to Gamblers

THE Spanish method of raising
taxes" observed gentleman who had
just returned from Cuba, ARE some
what in advance o. anything in our own
country. In nearly all the taxes lev
led there is special prize for certain
persons who pay taxes, arranged 50
that all taxpayers stand an equal
chance of securing the same, or, at
least, they suppose they do,
at is a kind of lottery attachment to
tax collections. Each twentieth, thir-
ticth or fiftieth payer gets a prize or
drawback, by a schedule which is ar
ranged by the authorities, daily or
weekly. Persons who have 10 prop
crty pay taxes just the same as those
who have, through the royal havana
lottery, which is run by the govern
trent. The police sell the tickets, and
every person has to buy one at least once
a week. For this ticket they pay about
what would be in our money -
cents. They stand 70 win prizes all
the way from the capital, which is the
largest, prize down to prize ten times

instance, $685. worth of tickets are
sold every week. OF this the author
tiles are willing to pay back some
weeks s. 900 and alternate weeks $10,-
900 in the way of prizes.
THE Cubans are gamblers born, and
they rush after these tickets as regu-
larry and with the avidity they go after
their morning coffee and brandy While
they can't always get just the particu-
lar number they want. they can get
numbers near to it or that end or begin
with the numbers they desire to hold.
They know that there will be some
prizes come out of the wheel, for the
government knows that the scheme
would fail unless there were returns
in the shape of prizes. The members of
the royal family or persons in position
are always remarkably lucky in the
matter of drawing the capital prizes
that is, the prizes of the larger sums
and, curiously enough. there is not
much kicking about this. The police
require even the street tramps to buy
at least one ticket a week. 1t does
not need much effort, however, for the
average man and woman in and about
Havana are bound to have a ticket even
if they have TO forego IA meal or two to
get it. Now and then, of course, the
street tramp draws a prize, and ne is
thus encouraged to invest again.
The weekly drawings are entirely
independent of the monthly or grand
drawings, when the capital prize some
times runs up as high as $4,000 in Span
ish money.
"Often | have seen the priests of
churches selling lottery tickets from a
stand erected just outside the churches.
The churches in this way pay their own
taxes, the sale taking place after each
of the morning services on Sunday.
BY this means the government raises
very large amount of money The
prize feature of it, or lottery, makes it
very attractive, and people pay great
deal of money without even knowing
it Washington Star.
