Two Austrian FOps.

The two greatest dandipS at tho En-

Count CrobOr and Marquis TarOncca.
These two men made a wager as to
who should appear in the most costly
costume at the next court ball. jewels
to be debarred. The Marquis TarOncca
appeared in most gorgeous apparel and
was considered by every one to have
triumphed over his rival, who was at
tired in plain satin suit. While the
jury were deciding Count CrObOr threw
open his plain satin cloak, and, placing
it on the ground, showed that it was
lined with one of Correggio'S most fa-
nous works. The count won the wager
1000 ducats-but the COrreggio had
cost 100000 ducatS.
The same count once paid a visit to
Paris with a large party of friends
and entt rtained them at dinner"
which lasted three days and nights. 1t

The Sword walking Trick.

Il had little party of Jap jugglers
on the road in 1891" said an ex-the,
atrical manager, "and got on to a good
many of their tricks. Most of them
were surprisingly simple in reality.
and one that | don't remember ever
having seen explained was the feat OF
walking barefOOted up Il ladder of sharp
swords. The swords were of the ma.
tive straight bladed shape and were so
keen that they would easily slice
handkerchief in two i'll mid air.
Before sticking them through the
uprights to form the ladder the head
Jap always passed his thumb along the
edge of each from hilt to tip AS he
did so he drew out a narrow steel tape
which was cOiled on a spring in the
handle. The tape had q hole in the
end which caught ON the point and
held it in place, and it completely
shielded the edge. After the walking
was over it was quietly released as the
swords were being taken out and flew
up into the handle again. The weapon
could then be passed around for in
spectiOn. Most people supposed that
the Jap used some chemical to tougher
his sOles, but the truth was as have

A Story of CuIIOm.

Just at the busy time one afternoon
when the crowds from the depart
ments packed the cars a tired looking
man with a painful limp came in with
the crowd at the Fifteenth street
transfer station and stood clinging to
strap just in front of Senator Cul-
lOm. The senator looked up, and, see
ing the weary face, instantly rose and
offered hfs seat. The man demurred
The senator insisted
"Sit down, sit down." said he cheer
lily. You mustn't stand; sit down."
The man sank into the seat. and the
tall IllinOisan cOntented himself with
a strap. From beneath a great poppy
laden hat the bright eyes of a little
girl, near whom he stood. peered up
at him eagerly. At last he looked
down and saw her.
Won't you take my seat?" she said
politely.
The senator smiled down at her and
shook his head
NO, thank you. child" he said "You
mustn't ever give up your seat to a
man. 1t sets a bad example" Chi

A Pet Winnie.

On a small island in the middle of
the South Pacific lives Il planter. the
only white man on the island-which
is full of brown skinned folk-whO
cuts and dries the meat of the cOcanut,
which he sells to trading vessels.
When any stranger stops at his is
land he will give him of the best that
the island affords; he will get up great
concerts and dances of the islanders;
above all, he will take him out to see
his pet, which is perhaps the, largest
and oldest animal that was ever pet
ted by any man.
This pet is sperm whale, nearly 20
feet long. He came through the mar
row entrance into the little harbor,
which is walled in by a coral reef,
when quite small, and remained until
he had grown so large that he could
not geI out if he wanted to.
The great creature comes up to be
fed when the planter blows horn, and
after his meal of a barrel of chopped
meat or fish performs some ponderOus
and amusing tricks, apparently know
ing what is expected of him.-Stray

The Ennrmitr Melted

There was especial opposition to the
disturbance of the old Granary burial
ground adjoining the Common in BOs-
ton. through portion of which the
subway runs. 1t was necessary to re-
move the remains of 90 persons in
TERED there. One elderly man of
Scotch descent made a great fuss over
what he termed ''the enormity of mo-
testing the bones of his ancestors"
After much argument. delay and per-
suaSiOn the venerable Scot was in
duced to agree that if the city would
construct Il tomb according to his
ideas he would consent to the removal
without causing further trouble. On
the day the vault was completed the
guardian of his prOgenitors was taken
over to inspect this new repository.
'NOw," said DIR. Green, former
mayor, who had charge of the work of
removing the bodies, you can set n
day and the remains can be brought
over and deposited here"

man. "Have that nice new tomb lit

The Road to Wealth,

In my opinion, the secret of money
making depends chiefly upon five
things-push, ''squareness," clear head
edness, economy and rigid adherence
to the rule of not overwOrking. Too
much work is worse than no work at
all. 1t undermines the constitution
and units a man mentally and phys
ically for the battle of life. Ten hours
a day of steady work is as much as any
man-nO matter how rObust-ought to
attempt. In addition to these things,
avoid being too grasping; better make
a small profit by sure means than at
tempt to make a larger one by uncer-
tain and risky measures.-Andrew

VICTIM CANNOT HELP THEM
HE WAS TOO DRUNK TO RE-
MEMBER ANYTHING.

The police kept up a dihgent search yes
terday for the man who stabbed Martin
Schroeder, the ex-convict, somewhere in
the neighborhood Of Ninth and Howard
streets Wednesday night, but were un-
able to get the slightest clew. Detectives
Crockett and Dillon were specially de-
tailed on the case but could not get any
information TO work upon
Schroeder was very drunk Wednesday
night. He had been drinking all day
around the water front and spent con-
siderable time in William Molloy's saloon.
He went there to pay Molloy 81 80 he was
owing him. When Molloy closed up his
saloon, between and o'clock, Schroeder
and he went to Silks saloon, corner of
Lafayette and Howard streets but Molloy
only remained a few minutes and left
Schroeder there. Schroeder was so drunk
that Silk refused to give him any liquor.
Schroeder left the saloon and thought
he had gone two or three blocks and he
thinks that while crossing a street and
trying TO keep out of the mud he had
stumbled against a man who stabbed him.
He remembers receiving blow on the
chest, but did not know that he had been
stabbed. He could not give any deScrip-
tion of the man as he was too drunk and
Notwithstanding schroeder's statement
the detectives are inclined to believe that
he knows the man who stabbed him and
they want to know who il Is and what
led TO the stabbing. Schroeder solemnly
told Sergeant Green, who has befriended
him on more than one occasion, that he
did not know the man. but the police are
unbelieving.
The wound is not nearly so serious as
at first anticipated and Schroeder was
I able to sit up IN bed yesterday and talk
| freely. He will be removed to the City
and County Hospital to-day.
He admitted yesterday that he was an
/ ex-convfct. February 10, 1891, he was sent
to San Quentin for two years for burg
larry under the name of John Thompson:
He broke into barn while drunk and
| had served terms for petty larceny. About
| ten days ago he was in Judge Mogan's
court on a charge of vagrancy, but was
allowed to go on promising to keep away
from the city Since then he had been
working for the Oakland Water Works
! Company at Alvarado.
