senator pcpew,s New story.

From a New York Letter: Here is
II new story Senator Depew teHs OH
himself: An inquisitive Britisher, a
noble duke, wanting to know exactly
how to pronounce the gifted orators
name, went for him after the manne-
Of Ii Hung Chang. (By the way, Lis
inquisitorial methods are being adopt
ed by not a few swells.) do they
call you De-poo, Dep-oo, Dc-Pue, Dep
pc or Deep-er?' asked his grace. II
never was called in my life, your grace,
because 1 never played" was the
Americans reply. 'Ha, ha! One of
your poker jolles!" laughed the duke.
But l am serious" Then the senator,
also serious, answered: There are
people in my country who spell their
namc Dupuy and call it Du-pue, There
is n great Frenchman who spells his
name Dupuy and calls it Du-Pwee. We
call a guy a CHI; the Frenchmen call
him a ghee. In England you call a
eve a 20; we call her a yew. Now,
your grace, just consider how deep
1 am and how shallow are you and
you'll have my name pronounced
right, De-pew."

Philadelphia Post: AT 40 men begin
to feel the strain of hard work. If
they have been careless or reckless
they are liable to break down. An
other critical period is GO, when those
holding positions of responsibility
who are too absorbed to take proper
rest go to pieces. Yet a man who has
lived to that age ought to continue
for ten years longer, provided he takes

1t is the pace that tells. 1t would be
laughable If it were not serious to see
staid bankers and merchants rushing

strange Pets Of Women.

Woman's Life: Some minds are
%strikingly original, even in choice of
pets. Certainly this was the case with
the wife of n gentleman farmer, who
made a pet OF a pig. The animal lost
its mother early, and the lady. taking
pity on the little orphan, bore it off to
the kitchen, where gle succeeded, by
the aid Of q feediss bottle, in rear
ing it.
The pig became a great pet, and used
to follow its owner like a dsg. 1t
could hardly have been its outward at
traction that won her heart; it must
have been its qualities which cndeared
it to her.
Another singular pet was that of n
frog, which vas tanned by a young
girl in the country and would come
out from under the leaves at her APP
proach to be fed with a strawberry.
A lady who was confined to her
room had a fowl which, before her i l.
ness, was a constant companion. 1t
used to be regularly taken to her
room every morning to see her and be
fed by her own hands, and allowed to
take a short walk about her room.
Another member of the feminine
gender actually made n pet of a tur-
key. and declared it should ssneyer be
eaten, but die in its own good time,
which it did of old age.
A much more extraordinary instanc.
OF a strange pet, for a woman at any
rate, was where an old lady so far
overcame the natural repugnanre of
her sex MS to tame a mouse which had
been caught in her store cupboard. So
successful was her treatment that at
last the tiny animal would take
crumbs from its mistress fingers.

Such %rarities as these are seldom offered
for sale, and when by chance one of them

many collectors ready and willing to pay

In the way of finding rare stamps there
are great possibilities for those who have
access to old letters and correspondence
between the years ls43 and 1Sc5. The early
postmasters' PROFESSIONALS were issued In
is45, ls46 and ls4i. and the rare confeder-
ate stamps in 1868. Besides these there
are many old issues of regular United
States stamps that are rare and bring
good values when sold.
The most valuable stamps in the world
are the first issues of the Island of Maui

coast of Africa. Although between TWEEN

brought more than 5000 when offered in

Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. 9.-The

fishing vessels by the revenue launch
guard in 1.-THE vicinity of Point Roberts
and Blaine for fishing in American
waters, has raised some intricate
points in international law. Under
the claim that there is no law which
prohibits foreign fishing vessels from
fishing in American waters, the Brit

mand on the United States govern
ment for the immediate release of the
vessels.
The event officers say the vessels
were seized for landing nets in Amer

the customs laws by entering their

Knnpsack Grew Light.

John S. Bray has received from a
veteran of the l2oth regiment IL present
of a knapsack carried Ly Adam lmhoif
during Il portion OF the civil war. This
Hapsack stirred up the "reminiscences
of Il number of cd soldiers in MI.
Bray's store and they told of their ex-
periences carrying - knapsack and its
weight of material necessary for the
comfort or convenience of the soldier
and the change of ideas of tho private
soldier as to what was really necessary
for him to carry during Il march.
The weight usually carried by n SOL
der when in marching and fighting
trim was II gun, forty rounds of cart,
ridges and an eighto OF ten pound KNAPP
sack. When the green soldier first
starled-out of camp this knapsack usu-
ally weighed about twenty-five pounds.
Each mile of the march took Off a few
pounds until nothing was left except
what was absolutely necessary. OF
course he was not allowed to throw
away his gun or ammunition. He
ciuag to his coffee and %rations, but when
he got really tired he would occasion-
ally throw away bis overcoat aud his
blanket.
One veteran said: "lvhy, l have
actually thrown away u sheet of paper
to tighten my knapsack."
a man who threw away his orercoat
and bisnket was not apt to do that more
than once, for it cntailcd n great deal
of hardship and suffering. Mr.. Bray
said that when he started out oncc for
n march he and his mess comrades be-
came SO disgustea with the weight of
their knapsacks that they couldn't see
whit was the use of carrying a big
overcoat and q blanket. so they threw
them away and when night came eight
men were only able To muster ono
blanket among the lot, which they used
by turns, rs they slept in the open air.
