Disraeli's Manner.

I have no doubt Disraeli loses friends
by his apparent insouciance and the
method in which he walks to his place
without looking at anybody-but
surmise from my own experience that it
arises from nearsightedness. perceive
that he cannot tell what o'clock it is
without using his glass, and somebody
told me lately that he saw him hailing
a police van, mistaking it for an omni-
bus. His face is often haggard and his
air weary and disappointed, but he has
the brow and eyes Of poet, which are
always pleasant to look upon.
He generally says the right thing at
the right minute and in the right way.
and he is Justify cheered, but sitting
among the opposition have abundant
reason to note that he is not completely
trusted. It is said that young Stanley
and other youngsters of his class believe
in him and that the man who is so taci-
turn in parliament is charming COM
panion among his familiars and is a
gracious and genial host. Some of his
postprandial mots steal out and, should
think, make fatal enemies Somebody
asked him lately if Lord Robert M. was
not stupid ass. "No, no, said Benja-

A Picture of Zola.

This is how Zola is described by
Stuart Henry in ''Hours With Famous
Parisians:'' A business man, no emo
tion, no ideals, no imagination, no
poetry, in his personal intercourse. He
does not try to win or entertain you.
He takes no personal interest in you
and does not expect you to take any
personal interest in him. He talks
frankly and freely about everything,
but in a secular way. He makes life
seem to you merely commercial career.
Fiction for him is editions of 100, 900
francs year. His magisterial and mag.
nificent panoramas of descriptions, un-
equaled for their Kind, are all measured
Oft in his mind as so many rods Of print
ed matter at SO much rod. No personal
magnetism, no sentiment, no perfume,
no rose colors. Life has been for him
blunt, rude. british thing. He has con-
quered merely because he has worked
harder than any one else. With him
naturalistic literature succeeds only by
the sweat Of the brow. What loins Of
strength neverth eless What Titanic
capacities to achieved He towers over
all his Partisan contemporaries. as Vic.
tor Hugo lowered over his epoch.

Garfield was said to be only one of

because all the world could not have

with an intrepidity and commanding
ease that were but the outward symp-
toms of the immense reserve of energy
on which it was in his power to draw.

DoShouses and Dog Kennels.

Doghouse is the name applied to a
house made for dog to live in out of
doors; dog kennel to a house or box
built for dogs quarters indoors. The
doghouse is likely to be for big dog;
the kennel, in private houses, for lit
tie dog. There are few doghouses used
in the city, and in proportion to the
number of pet dogs not a great many
kennels, but still the number of kennels
in the aggregate is considerable.
Doghouses are made with sloping
roof to shed rain. No such necessity ex-
lists in the case of the kennel, and ken
nels are always made with a fat top.
Things may be placed on top Of them.
The kennel is practically an oblong box
made Of yellow or white pine or of
whitewood, and customarily painted
white and without ornamentation. The
kennel has grated opening in the top
for purposes of ventilation, with cover
to put over to prevent draft Former
ly the doors of such kennels were made
OF wire cloth; now they are all made
with bars Of very small sized gas pip
ing. . ~
The kennel of this kind is so made
that it is raised at the corners enough
to make the bottom clear the floor, and
it is often mounted on casters, SO that
it can be conveniently moved about
from room 20 room. Such kennels are
made by carpenters, and they cost SIS to
$40 each, according to the size.-New

FIRING ON. THE MOB.

Had Done Its Work. 1#
The yelling mass below neared the

From the windows jetted swift lines of
fame, and shattering volley tore the
air. 49, ~. ~
A crash, and then stiffness on the
mob, an intense hush, a swift paralysis;
a blue gray smoke cloud foated up the
walls and out over the jailyard. Men
gasped, then held their breath. From
their nests in the caves startled spar
rows flew above the crowd with fri ght-
oned twitterings. ..-:,~~<-. q. - ..
In the Jail corridor sounded the clink,
clink of empty shells falling to the floor
as nervous fingers fumbled at boxes or
showed fresh cartridges home with a
snap swapping of breechblocks, while
staring eyes were fixed upon the scene
outside. ~
From below came a new sound, the
noise of agony. On the outskirts of the
crowd men were running. The mob
surged back from the Jail walls. In the
space left clear lay PROSTATE forms out
stretched or huddled in attitudes Of gro
tesque horror on the stone paved way.
One figure half arose, wavered back

ing mob with gasping cry. Men run
ming back from the crowd with appre-
hensive glances at the windows carried
off the limp FORMS In the crowd men
bore up other men who reeled and stag
gered to and fro.
The corridor was very still. The
guard stood in silence. Here and there
one drew long breath, with slow
heaving of the chest and lifting Of the
shoulders. Turning their eyes with an
effort from the mob, they glanced at
each other as though seeking confrma-
tion for their thoughts, to be assured
that all this thing had happened, that
the dark forms on the pavement below
had been grim reality. A slight, pale
faced private threw his rifle to the floor
and turned his face from the window.

swore apparently at nothing and busted
