Uncle John Smith. Uncle Dick Woo,
ton, Kit Carson and many another
played their lives as they staked their
dollars, and it was their pride not to
finch when the game went against
them. The chief characteristic of the
trapper was the iron nerve that never
failed, the presence of mind that never
deserted him. Such as he was, he was
always equal to himself, and was al
his best in moments of imminent peril
What gave him superiority over the In
dian was his swift determination in eX-
treme difficulties, which seemed in
deed, to sharpen his faculties to the
utmost. Absolutely indifferent to para,
lying superstitions, he doubled the
Indian sagacity and craft, with infinite
ly greater dash and daring. He was
prompt to seize opportunities which
the red braves let slip. Embodying the
hardihood and dauntless perseverance
of the American character these trap
pers constituted themselves into a fac
ulty of state surveyors, and were the
veritable makers of the empire of the
west. The last of them had gone some
80 years ago, having pioneered The way
for the gold seekers and the ranchers

LOST FAITH IN HIS TAILOR.
A Gentleman of the Old School
Whose Clothes Were a Tribe
Too Loud.

Col. Tarker is a staid old West side citi
zen who has made fortune in land. He is
an aristocrat of the old southern school,
courtly and impressive. His collars are
made in the fashion of so years ago, and his
neckties the same. Withal the colonel is
what New Englanders call "a bit near" He
has his clothes made by cheap tailor. They
are always modest, respectable black of re-
markab BILE pattern and fit. But they suit the
colonel. One Jag l2st week he walked over
to visit his daughter living on Prairie av-
enue
What makes you look at me SO serious
ly?" he asked, presently, guiltily self-con-
scious.
"Why, father, what have you been doing
to yourself"
Nothing, daughter, nothing. II have
on a new suit of clothes"
Sure enough, the colonel had on new suit
of clothes. The effect was gorgeous and
startling. The trousers were loud check,
very tight and trihe short The coat was
short blue frock, mottled with dark red.
He wore cheap red tie. The ludicrousness
of the situation finally overcome the
daughters gravity, and she laughed until
she cried.
"In heavens name, father, where did you
get those clothes?" she asked, at last.
"Wartz made them He-he said checks
were stylish, and the cloth came cheap, and
II said -! wasn't particular, you know;
never am"
The mild and dignifed old gentleman had
transformed himself into comic valentine
without knowing it. His faith in Wartz is
now somewhat shaken, and he has donned
an old suit.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The average life of a ship is about 26
years.
About 100000 tons of coal are an

There has been an increase of $40
100000 in the assessed valaes of the

Some of the machines for making
matches make 200 revolutions a minute
each, and turn out about 100000
matches daily, or about 9OO, 1000, 900 an
nually.
A well-known specialist On ear dis

half the deafness prevalent at the pres

Although the brain is perpetually ac,
tive. yet the whole of it is never at work
at one time. The two hemispheres, or
halves. do not operate simultaneously,
but alternate in action.
DR.. Daniel Draper, in charge of the
meteorological bureau in Central park,
said the records did not show that any
sudden drop in temperature occurred
early in the morning, But" he said,
sit is a well-known fact that the cold
est period is usually at sunrise. This
is caused by the evaporation of mois-
ture occurring when the heat first
strikes the earth
The highest temperatures for the
year correspond with abundant sun
spots and the least humidity, and the
maximum temperatures with scarcity
of sun spots and great humidity. Such
is the conclusion "@aahsd by NJ. Camille
Flammarion after many years of OBJ
servation. He also believes that the
character of the years temperature is
indicated by the temperatures of March
and April.

Cuba a New Field for sport.

Hunting in Cuba will be fashion
able sport some of these days, because
Cuba is a great game country, and the
kind of game found there gives the
best of sport. There are deer, which
come to the edges of the openings and
clearings at dusk and dawn to feed.
Countless focks of pigeons and doves
bend the branches of the trees by their
weight. There are long, thick snakes
fit to try a sportsman's skill with gun
or rifie-snakes that furnish beauti-
fully mottled skins for trophies. Wild
boars live in the dense wooden brush
and it takes hardy man to face a
wounded one. There are wild dogs, too,
and many birds of the most beautiful
plumage. Wild fowls are found on all
the streams, in the thickets live large
birds, chiefly guinea hens. Incidental
ly hordes of stray outlaws may add to
the excitement of hunt during the
next few years.-Chicago Chronicle.

AGUINALDO'S EDUCATION.
The Philippine Insurgent Was q
Bright Student when at
Manila University.

When he was IA or Is he was enrolled
in the medical department of the Pom
tifical University of Manila, under
Profs. Nadia and Buitrago. He was a
bright student, but nothing is known of
his college career. Shortly after this
time he committed what is an unpar-
donabe sin, both secular and re-
ligious, in the Philippines, by joining
the masonic order. Masonry was pro-
hibited thing in the Philippines under
Spanish rule, and any man joining the
organization might under the ancient
law be tortured and executed. About
this time Tin 1881 he had some trouble
with the authorities and went to Hong
Kong. where there was fair-sized col
ony of Philippine eXiles, and also of
Filipinos who had crossed the China
sea in business enterprises. Here he
obtained his first knowledge of the
great world outside of the narrow Span
sh civilization in which he had been
brought up. He attended the drills and
parades of the British garrisons, fire.
quented the gunshops of the Queens
road, purchased firearms for his owD
use and in every way tried to increase
his fund of practical knowledge.
Accc|ing to report, he crossed over
into kNwloon and served a short time
in the Chinese army, and there, finding
that nothing more could be learned
from the corrupt mandarins who Of
ficered the troops. but never drilled
them. he obtained his discharge and
Joined the crew of a Chinese warship
which had some European instructors.
He met the late Col. McGiffin and is said
to have served under him several
months. Whether these rumors be-
true or not one thing is clear. During
his stay in Hong-Kong and that neigh
bOrhood he gained wide knowledge of
warfare, both military and naval. and
read many works upon strategy and the
campaigns of Bonaparte, Wellington,
Won Moltke and Grant; and there are
numerous photographs i'm existence in
that city of him in both soldier and
sailor uniforms. During the past year
he has surprised many new acquaint-
ances with his knowledge and accurate
opinions upon the famous battles and
generals of Europe and America dur
ing the present century.-Review of Re-

War and the Price of Diamonds.

One of the most remarkable results OF
the recent Hispano-American war is the
largely increased demand for diamonds
in America. Patriotic iubilation in the
male bosom manifests itself in great
variety of ways, sparkling through
Pommery or taking a rich blood hue
from fruity port. The ladies, however
rejoice in brilliants. So great has been
the demand for diamonds during the
last few months that an appreciation Of
at least 26 per cent. has taken place
in the price paid by the public.-South
