The Career of CasteIIane.

Count Jean Castellane is known to the American public as the little blonde mo- bleman who paid a flying visit to this country three years ago. It was brief enough, but in that time he stole away one of the richest heiresses in America, Anna Gould, the lS-year-old daughter of Jay Gould, heiress to SIG, 900 900 in her own right.
 On their return to France the Castellanes built castle in the heart of Paris, model ing 1t on the Petit Trianon, and in this earthly palace they have dwelt in unison ever since with a small family growing up around them. Numerous rumors of trouble have reached this country, but these have all been denied by the loving behavior of the young couple in question:

 Young Edison is less a chip of the old block than one would suppose from look ing at him, for he bears a strong resem- blance to his father His methods of work, however, are different. He keeps regular hours, preserves his serenity al- ways, and dvotes himself to the devel- opment of strictly mercantile products. In warfare he will be most useful from his superior and overwhelming knowledge of the uses of things electrical.

there is no reason why they should
not thrive here. The practical ex-
tinction of the buffalo has left the

declare that hunting the Kangaroo,
as practiced in Australia, is second

not without commercial Importance.

Ask and Ye ShaE III Receive,

In an interesting obituary notice
of Frederick Billings, the lawyer and
capitalist, who died at New York re-
Gently, leaving an estate worth 49,
100000, the Tew York Tribune re-
lates the following Interesting story:
One of young Billings's first clients.
after his arrival in San Francisco, was
Gen. Sutter, who came down fromhi
fortified dwelling in the Sacramento
Valley to get some kind of legal pa
per drawn up. After Billings, had
fixed the document to- suit him the
old general asked the amount of
the fee. Hardly knowing what he
ought to charge for such service, but
remembering that his, client had Just
discovered a gold mine ON his farm,
Mr.. Billings plucked up. courage
enough to reply that he thought $40
would be about right. Ten dol
lars! exclaimed General Sutter. in
amazement. ''Why, young man,
you will never get rich in this coun-
try on $40 fees,'' and thereupon he
pulled out of his old earpet-bag a
big leather pouch and threw upon
the table fifty Mexican dollars, one
after the other, and wound up by
saying: ''There, take that, anddon't
you ever take less than that from
any man while you practice in Cali
fornia:" It is needless to- say that
this injunction from the, old Swiss
settler was willingly obeyed by the
young attorney, and it proved to- be
a pretty accurate guide to the fee
system OF San Francisco lawyers for
some years after.

WHOSE FACE7

Some faces are eupremely fair,

Some are demurc and debonaire,

Some fit before ms, sweet and gay,

Where hottest thoughts nre thronging-
Come back, come always in the mist

And some, they make life sad, we know,
Yet, being sad, completer.

The Girls Stood by Him,

Robert Smythe, the waiter who
was placed in the St. Andrews jail
for an assault on Manager Carter,
of the Algonquin hotel, had his trial
recently, and was sentenced to pay
a fine of 81 with costs, $4, Tin all
$9.75-or to be imprisoned forty
days. The female, walters in. the
hotel on hearing the result raised the
amount, and in body went to the
jail and paid it over to the iailer,
thus securing Smythe's release.
They took Smythe up in. their arms
and carried him from the Jail to the
street, and gave him three hearty
cheers. They then escorted him to
the railroad station, and before he
stepped on board the car was en-
braced and kissed by some of his
lady admirers, and as the train
moved off they saluted their protege
with cheers, just the same as men
would do.-Bangor Commercial.

Australian Rabbit Skins.

In the last ten years 20, 100000
rabbit skins have been exported from
Victoria. In:addition 'tosthe exports
from the colonies many have been
used locally by hat manufacturers
and others, and large numbers have
doubtless been destroyed or allowed
to decay. The supply from Austria
liza has flooded the English market
and trade has on hand a supply suf-
ficient to last year or two. The
English rabbit breeders also found it
to their advantage to kill rabbits
mainly for their skins, and the sup
ply of home skins is said to reach
100000 annually. Belgium,
which supplies us with the tame bred
rabbits SO largely appreciated and
imported for food, sends away over
6,000,O0 rabbit skins, but then
these skins are much larger, ola finer
color and better fitted for furs than
those of the wild abbit.-London
