of those persons who had assembled to hear
the bell of st. Pauls ring out the old and

sung, the crowd slowly dispensing as the

Professionals Who Wore Worth Vast
Amounts of Money.
In 1895 a beggar who died in Auxerre.
France, was found to have 100000
francs in bonds in trunk and in his
cellar 400 bottles OF wine Of the vintage
of 1890.
When Tori, Well-known Italian
professional beggar, died, there were
found hidden away in his rooms bank
books, securities, gold and silver,
amounting collectively to the value of
upward Of 100000 francs, or 100000.
His heirs were two nephews, who for
years had been in a state of pitiable
poverty.
An old beggar woman named Marie
Dufour, who occupied wretched gar
ret at a house in the Rue de Severes,
Paris, was found dead in her bed. In
bundle belonging to her were found
deposit receipt for 10000 francs in the
name of the deceased and government
securities representing an annual in
come Of 500 francs.
A man named Gustave Marcelin, q
professional beggar, was found dead in
his room in the Rue Puy Guillaume,
Avignon, in November, 1892. A search
led to the discovery of French govern
ment bonds and various securities to
the value of 100000. He left paper
requesting that his savings might be
divided equally between the city and

Ingenuity of the Tahitans.

The Tahitans are said to be the peo-
pie most serviceable to the traveller.
They seem, in fact. to command at all
times the principal conveniences Of
life.
Half an hour OF daylight Is SUFFICIENT
for building house Of the stems and
leaves Of the fehi-banana, and fire Is
produced by rubbing sticks.
II the running water Is deeply sunk
among stones by working In banana
leaves they bring 1t to the surface.
The chase OF eels, which in those
dripping mountains become almost am
phibious, offers anpther instance Of
their ingenuity.
They tear off with their teeth the
fibrous bark Of "pu.an" (Hibiscus TIL
iaceus), and a moment after apply 1t
to noosing small flsn.
II one Ia sent for fruit he will u.s.
ually makes bash ct on the way by
plating segments Ct a cocoanut leaf.
A mat will be man nfactured with al
most equal ease. Clothing is always
at hand, and a banana leaf serves for
an umbrella. Turiblers and bottles
are supplied by single joints OF the
bamboo. and casks and buckets by the
long stems, and whether you ask for
hatchet, knife, spot.n, toothbrush, or
wash basin, the gl des will never be

The Lost Cabin.

The western papers are again an
nouncing that the famous Lost Cabin"
gold mine has been rediscovered. That
has happened before and the mystery
remains a mystery still. Deep in the
barren Bad Lands of Wyoming, near
the headwaters of the Big Horn, about
sixty miles from Fort Washakie, the
mine was originally located, and 1t has
probably not Travelled far from there
In the last few years. Five men
found it first in 1874. They left the
fort full Of hope to prospect for gold.
Three weeks later one returned ragged,
starved and crazy. He could only re-
peat six words, but these he said over
and over again, until he died, raving
mad, month later. Those words
were Lots of dust in Lost Cabin" He
had several large nuggets to bear out
his words. Expeditions set out at
once, but no trace could be found Of
either men or mine. Ten years after
ward a cowboy, lost in the desert,
found a rotted cabin and four skele-
tons lying in the doorway. A primi-
tive tunnel in the hillside close by
yielded nothing but plumbago. Yet
the first man had returned with good
gold. Half the best prospectors In the
west have tried to solve the riddle, but
the desert guards it's secret we'll.

Curious Way Of Earning Livelihood
In London.

Curlsus Way Of Earning . Livelihood
in London.
To any one unacquainted with the
complex characteristics Of London life
it would appear almost Incredible that
a man could make living as pick
pocket by Immediately restoring what
he has stolen to it's original owner.
A detective officer, however, has re-
Gently informed the writer that such,
indeed, is the case. For some time past
an ingenious individual has made 1t his
business to wait upon ladies as they
leave theaters, calling their carriages
and aiding them to enter. He Is de-
Gently dressed, very polite and has
way Of holding up a lady's dress be-
hind-especially If the weather Is wet
which is particularly pleasing to his
patronesses.
But it seems that his action in this
respect is not nearly so distinguished
as 1t might appear, for he makes this
their pockets or removing any article
Of value within reach. His methods,
however, are not those Of the common
thief, for he persistently proceeds to the
police station nearest at hand and there
delivers up his spoil, coolly stating that
he has found 1t" outside a certain
theater.
He, of course, furnishes also his
name and address, and in due time his
honest" action receives it's reward.
He has found" so many things recent
ly that the police are anxious to find
him.

An IntelliHent Bird.

Birds are quick-witted. Listen to
this story told by q man: II small
creature like bullflnch can tell when
his mistress is going out, and not only
that, but will welcome her back with
all the noise his little throat can get
out, before she is barely near enough
for q dog to make out for certain, such
fact alone proves that birds eyes are
far-seeing. Many times has my wife
placed her bullfinchs cage the length
Of three rooms away. one leading direct
to the other, with the door open; 1t was
rarely closed, and he would be busily
engaged ON a small plum twig, full of
buds, that I had cut for him. when,
Just to test his keenness OF vision, she
has held the pip from an apple that I
had been eating between her finger and
thumb and stood in the doorway far
thest from him. The bird looked; down
went his twig, out Of his cage he dash
ed and he was on her shoulder. with
crest raised and feathery breast puffed
out, singing to her for his apple pip.

King . Born Speculat0r.

The King Of Belgium Is born spec
ulator. From his parents he inherited
three-quarters of q million sterling
With this capital he began to speculate
and showed his mastery skill as a
financier In his dealings in Panama
Canal stock. By judicious buying and
selling he is estimated to have made
four millions. Then he was seized with
the Congo Free State hobby, which
obtained such mastery over him that
his financial acumen was overpowered,
and he sank his private fortune in 1t.
Whether it will ever return good value
for the money remains to be seen.

Flies Distribute Disease.

The possible extent Of the spread Of
disease by the animals about us is still
matter Of conjecture only. While 1t
Is more than probable that consump-
ton and other diseases are distributed
by domestic animals, good reason has
been found for believing that the
plague was introduced into Calcutta by
rats, and while mosquitoes probably in
oculate the blood with disease germs, it
now appears that flies may carry death
in other ways. Two deaths from
ptomaine poisoning were attributed by
the coroner's jury to eating lamb which
was apparently sound and good, but
which had been placed in a larder con-
tanning putrid tongue, and, as the two
were not in close proximity, the analyst
believes that flies brought the poison
from the tongue to the lamb. The OBJ
vious moral is that flies should be kept
from larders and meat stores.

GUNPOWDER IN HUNTING.

Took Many Years for Hunters to Famil-
iarixo Themselves with Il.
A curious feature about this evolu-
ton in methods Of hunting was the hes
itation with which gunpowder was
taken up by the great mobiles. Not only
did it take quite century to familiar
ize hunters with 1t, but the evidence
that has come down to us shows that
the humble classes were the first to use
It for shooting game. Maximillian, ar
dent sportsman that he was, tells us
himself that he could shoot further and
with greater accuracy with his cross
bow than his keeper could with the
fire-tube. To prove this he tells us the
well-known story Of certain chamois
standing at distance Of two hundred
fathoms, which, after being pronounced
as to far of by his henchman, who was
armed with one of the first sporting
firearms mentioned in print, comes
tumbling down. pierced by the first at
tempt Of the Emperor's bolt. From
other sources we learn Of strict meas
ures being adopted to prevent poachers
and "woodloafers" using firearms; and
this at period when princes still used
the cumbrous cross-bow and spear. It
was only in the last quarter Of the six
teenth century that firearms had ousted
other weapons for certain forms of the
chase, the deer-battle being among the
latter.
Catoctin clarion., 1899-03-23

A soldier who entered Santiago with
Gen. Shafter tells this story: "A few
days after the place was surrendered
l went into a small shop to get some
tobacco. The proprietor was fat lit
tie chap, all bows and smiles.
"'Got any 'baccy?' asked.
"'Si, senor.' he said. Yes, sare;
YER fine tobac. Hot time in ze Oh
town tonight, senor.'
II took a paper Of fine cut and the
fat rascal charged me 81. When I
made a modest kick at such highway
robbery he bumped up his shoulders
and spread out his hands.
"'Well, senor,' he said, you mus
remember those Maines.'"
