The Rent Collector and the Difficulties He

Stun property apparently has its

eral years past. In the London store
everything from q cannon 10 a needle

stored or insured. You may have a
house built, decorated, furnished all
complete, with the servants and insur-
ance OH the property, from one estab-
lishment. Pianos, iron in bars and the
alter tickets nay be obtained, as well as
drugs. ribbons and laces. Altogether it
would be an interesting place in which

at the time the bargain is reSlly made."
The commission man then straighten-
ed up III the saddle and waited for the
distant buyer to look i'll his direction.
A moment later this representative of
= big packing house wheeled his horse
about and faced in the direction Of the
seller. Instantly the commission man
lifted high his rawbide riding whip
aud held it aloft. His attitude was as
striking as that Of a cavalry colonel up
lifting his saber to concentrate the at
tention of his regiment before making
a desperate charge. The pose, however,
was full of natural grace and freedom
and showed that the man was more at
ease in the saddle than he could have
been out of it.
Only a moment elapsed before the
alert eye of the buyer caught sight of
the appraised whip. The next instant he
raised his hand "a little above his head,
held il motionless a moment and then
dropped it with a forward movement.
Quickly the seller repeated the motion
of assent with his whip, and then, turn
ing to his caller, said:
That's all there is to it. To a stran-
ger this kind Of q performance looks
like a long range sign talk between deaf
mutes, but we understand each other
perfectly. W. both know how many
cattle there are in the bunch and the
price at which they have been sold.
Had we been within speaking distance
of each other the transaction would
probably have been a verbal one, just
for the sake of sociability, but not be-
cause it would have mae the bargain
better understood or any more binding"

A Coin In the Bottle.

There have been patented all kinds Of
schemes devised for the purpose of Sc
curing a bottle that cannot be reilled
after having once been emptied Of its
contents. A great deal of fraud is said
to be perpetrated by filling the bottles
of some standard liquor with an inferior
grade and palming it off as the original
bottling. An ingenious Philadelphian
proposes 70 accomplish this by blowing
a coin in the body Of the glass bottle,
and he thinks that this will be tempt
ing enough to induce some one TO break
the bottle as soon as it has been emptied.

Ian Maciaren ON Scott.

"Scott was all gold, and sven the
nuggets are not enough; the gravel
ought to be sifted and the gold dust
gathered in, for Scott had such an afi..
ence of knowledge, legend and poetry
that he did not write by measure, but
put his hand into his pocket and threw
out money that any might pick it up.
What one is afraid of is that Scott is
being raised to the elevation Of a classic,
and that is the same thing as taking a
man out Of the house of commons, where
he is al active figure, and placing him
in the stately seclusion Of the house of
lords do not know a single rsge Of
Scott hat is not readable, and / do not
know u single page that would shake a
mans faith or bring a blush to q wom-
ans cheek. Why do not people read
Scott as they ought TO-? Some say that he
is not interesting. and others object to
his style. Why, Carlyle himself brought
the charge against Scott that he was
amusing. Amusing! One of the grand
est functions of fiction is to be amusing
in the right sense-that of lifting up
the weight and care Of daily life from

gions Of sentiment and romance"

Hounding Celebrities.

DR.. Paul GARNER, a French specialist
in lunacy, has been giving some infor-
nation about the insane men aud wom-
en- who follow celebrities about and fall
in love with them. The doctor has to
send two or TIRES women of this sort to
asylums every month, and nothing is
known of the cases by the public. Good
looking priests, the doctor declares, are
notably marks for the attention of such
females. After the priests, but in a Lesser
degree. come the members of parlia-
ment whose names are most frequently
in the newspapers or WHO make good
speeches in the chamber, the authors
and the handsome acto1s. The latter,
like the priests, have often been threat
ened by their Jealous admirers. In some
instances women have gone TO the the
aters with loaded revols c1s ready 10 fro

have failed to carry cut their purpose.

PRESIDENT NOT WORRIED.
of News From Manila
Causes No Alarm.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Although
naturally anxious to hear from Commo-
dore Dewey. the President and the
members of the Cabient are not at all
alarmed at the non-arriVal of news from
Manila It is pointed out that the cable
office is about ten miles or more dis
tant from the city, and that the conect-
ing line is undoubtedly in the hands
of the Spanish. These, it is assumed,
cannot be dislodged by the Commodore
with the landing force now at his dis
posal The Commodore, it is said. may
have been compelled to send slow YES
sci out, or he may be waiting to send
news of the surrender of the islands. In
any event the contingencies are such
no definite time can be fixed for the ar
rival of the report
Nor are the President and his advisers
disturbed at the situation of the Oregon
and Marietta. They have no fear that
the Cape Verde fleet is en- route to inter
capt them, for the reason that such
move would be the highest folly. In
case of an attack it is confidently be-
lieved that the Oregon would sink a.
least one or two of her assailants, SO
that if the enemy succeeded in defeating
her he would have suffered an equal
OF greater loss himself. This exchange
the SDaniards are in no position to
make
Although the Government has had no
official news of the present whereabouts
of the Cape Verde fleet, no doubt is eX-
pressed that it has returned to Cadiz,
as reported by the Lloyds. Wherever it
IS, the Government has no reaso.l to
hope that it will venture into these
waters.
