A SEEMING DISCREPANCY.
The Dear Lady Has Her Daughters In
terest at Stake.

teTehI AT STAKE
She is lady whose husband has &C.
cumulated large share Of this worlds
goods. She does not care how much
anything costs and desires people to
know that she doesn't care. So it was
not through any fear that she was not
getting her moneys worth that she re-
proved her youngest daughter, who had
been practicing at the piano. The little
girls efforts had been harrowingly per-
sistent and dutiful, and she was hurt as
well as surprised when her mother in
dignantly remarked:
dolly, l am compelled to remind
you that we have employed the best
teacher in the city for your musical ed
ucation and that as we propose tc spare
no expense in the future you ought to
be more conscientious i'll laying foun-
dation You will gain nothing by slight
ing the work now ! am determined
that you shall learn to play the piano
no matter wat it costs.
Il was practicing faithfully" the
pupil protested.
my dear, do not attempt to deceive
your mother. "
But You heard me practicing, didn't

"It may lie" was the chilly re-
joinder, THAT your mothers advantages
in early life were not so great as those l
intend that you shall enjoy. But there
is one study in which l was always
good, and it will be useless for you to
attempt to mislead me i'll anything con-
nected with it, That is arithmetic"
81 never said you weren't splendid in
arithmetic, bat that hasn't anything to
do with my piano playing.

TIE COST OF TRAINS.
Passenger Coaches More Expensive Than
Many Fine Houses.

Passenger Coaches More Expensive Than
Many Fine Houses.
Ninety five per cent of the travelling
public do not own III their own right or
occupy through rental a dwelling house
which, including all its contents, costs
as much as one of the ordinary modern
passenger cars run on any first class
railroad"
The foregoing statement, which is cal
culated to arouse the incredulity of the
average individual, was made recently
by George J. Charlton, assistant general
passenger and ticket agent Of the Chi
cago and Alton railroad.
"Just let me give you few facts to
prove that assertion" continued Mr..
Charlton. "The cost of the average
passenger car today is from Sc, 600 to
$1,000. a reclining chair car costs from
$4,000 TO $12, 600. These figures repre-
sent the bare cost of the Car. When you
add to that from year to year the eX-
penses of maintenance, instead Of tigur-
ing. as the ordinary business mortal
will figure, return in interest for the
capital invested you simply aggravate
the situation.
81 once heard a prominent master car
builder say that it cost 5000 to simply
look over a car after it had served five
or six months on the road and had been
sent to the carShops to be examined
and put into presentablo shape for an
other six months run. He meant that
the ordinary dressing down and clean
ing Of Car would cost over $500, and
if you extend your investigation to gen
eral shop repairs-perhaps adding lit
tie upholstering here and there-you
could easily get away with another
$500. kansas City Journal.

druggist.
The clerk did not have to be told that

long before. Indeed he had figured II

this prescription, asserted the drug
gist, land the regular price is 81"
Il admit it, " said the clerk. 1.-The
fact is l was ratified. You see, 1 made

But she in silent ecstasy

How sweet she looked.
"In red and gold" she sighed how lair
The coloring of those naples there!'

TIGER AND BULL.
A Fierce Battle, In Which the Tiger Was
BADLY beaten.

A Fierce Battle, In Which the Tiger Was
BADLY beaten.
The Paris letter ct the London Post
gives details of an extraordinary enter
tainment given at the Plaza de Madrid
in the presence of 1900 spectators. This
was combat betw@en royal Bengal
tiger and an Andalusian fighting bull.
The tiger, Cesar, was a full grown
brute belonging to Spessardi, the train
er, who had never been able to do any
thing with it and had, indeed, once
nearly fallen victim to it's ferocity.
He sold it for 6, 600 francs to the director
of the plaza.
A cage u yards square by4 in height
had been erected in the middle of the
arena, and the animals were brought on
in vans, the bull being the first to be
released into the Enclosure. The brute
Immediately began to run round and
round his prison, believing and throw
ing up sand and gravel with his hoofs.
The instant the tiger entered the cage
he gave roar and bounded on the bull,
avoiding the horns, and fixed on his
tanks and belly with both teeth and
claws The bull remained still for a
few seconds, and then seemed to be sink
ing backward to the ground. The spec
tators thought that all was over, but
the tiger let go for second to take an
other hold. and in the brief interval
was kicked over by the wild plunges of
the bull. Before the tiger had time to
recover the bull was on him, and, sink
ing his horns into the striped hide, it
tossed the tiger into the air. This was
repeated four or five times, the bull
varying his tactics occasionally by bang
ing his adversary against the bars.
When the bull stopped, the tiger lay
limp on the ground, and the crowd,
thinking he was dead, cried. ''Bravo,
toEo!'
Thei.bull stood stamping for MO
ment in the middle of the cage, and
then, seeing the tiger did not move, APP
preached and smelled him, But Cesar
was only shamming death and seized
the bulls muzzle in his powerful jaws
so the animal could not move. Eventu-
ally, however, he was released, and aft
er stamping furiously on the tiger again
caught him on his horns. This time the
tossing, stamping and banging appar-
emily really ended in Cesar's dtath.
The cage was then opened. and the bull
rushed out and back to his stable For
precaution's sake the tigers van was
brought up. and, to the general sur
prise, Cesar rose to his feet, glanced
round as if afraid the bull was still
there, and then bounded into the van
The tiger was found to have five ribs
broken. besides having number Of
wounds from the bulls horns 1t is said
that all wild animals-beafs, l3ons
panthers and tigers-fare badly in COM
bat with the Spanish fighting Lull.

Not Quite Certain.

A case was being tried III court, and
the particular question at issue was the
number of persons present when a GER
tain event occurred. An honest but sim
pie minded German was in the witness
box.
He had never taken an oath before
and was not little disconnected. The
lawyer who conducted the cross exam
ination saw his opportunity and bad
gered him with questions after the
manner of his kind.

The Epglish Patent oaice Librarv,

If the poor inventor is not entirely
ignorant of patent procedure, he knows
that the.patent Office makes no search to
test the validity of his invention, and
so he comes to. undertake it himself. If
he finds that his invention appears in
no previous patent, he is confirmed in
his belief that he will at last see his
dreams realized and that he will in a
short time POSSESS great wealth. II. on
the other hand, he finds his ideas have
been anticipated, his dreams of fortune
fade away like mist before morning
sun, and life, as he has known it for so
many weary years-hard, toilsome, pit
Hess to those who, like himself, lack
money-lies painfully clear before his
view.
A short three hours-or even less
spent i'll this library may plunge the
man who entered it hopeful and bright
into deepest despair, and it is certain
that within it's walls many silent TRACE
dies of this, kind are enacted week by
week and noticed by only few if any of
those around. But inventors are hope
full race, and though some who suffer
such d disappointment of all their hopes
may never recover from it there is no
doubt many recommence their expert
ments and. elaborate OTHER inventions
from which they expect the same, or
even greater, realities of wealth and
happiness. Cham beers journal
