wanted. a Holograpn WIN.

A Canadian barrister is responsible
for the following: One day farmer
came into his Office and requested that
Photograph will should be prepared for
his signature. The lawyer began at
once to explain terms, but the tiller of
the prairie, who prided himself not
little upon his legal knowledge, only
grew angry. "Iwant a Photograph will, .
he declared, "and I'm going TO have
it," he added in parenthesis. When the
impossibility Of his request was still
pointed out he angrily stumped from
the Office shouting OUT "D--n i'll If
can't have Photograph will, TIL blamed
we'll die intestinep
Almost as funny was the tradesman
who had recently been left some land.
He came to the lawyer with instruc-
tions for a deed of transfer to be pre-
pared in favor of himself. On being
asked his reasons, he gave them thus:
"Don't feel sort of comfortable about
that bit of country. l know how par
ticular You lawyer gents are, and /
thought maybe that if signed deed
making over the property to myself no
one would be able to touch it. 2 When
his application was refused, he went
away III a rage, and subsequently tried
to bring an action against the lawyer,
who he imagined, was trying to de-
fraud him.-CornhiH Magazine.

When Mascagni composes.

Mascagni's greatest passion and de-
light is to conduct an orchestra, for
which he himself says he has natural
talent. But what is more interesting is
to watch Masoagni composing his works.
His wife, Signora Lima Mimi (his eldest
boy, Dino (another SOM and Emilia
(his little daughter) all have their
parts in it. When the maestro is fever
ishly writing notes and rushing to the
piano to catch an inspiration, his wife
follows him to and fro, while the chill
dren climb on his knees, he uncon-
sciously running his fingers through
their curls.
As soon as he has fixed on melody
he gathers the children in his arms, and
they all roll indiscriminately on the
floor, the shouts, bumps laughter, tears,
making such an uproar that at last
Signora Maseagni interferes, seolding
her husband and telling him that a
grave musician should give better ex-
ample to his family. She bundles away
the children, and he returns to his
desk, but a few minutes later the scene
repeats itself. Pail Mall Gazette.

A Maharaiah's Revenge.

The maharanee of Nepaul committed
suicide in horror at the Disagreement
which an attack of smallpox had caused
in her features. The maharajah, who
was passionately attached to her, first
wreaked his vengeance on the physi-
clans who had attended her in her ILL
ness. Then he flew at higher game.
Out of the great temple he brought
the idols, placed loaded cannon before
them and babe gunners fire. In terror
at the proposed blasphemy they refused.
Thereupon the maharajah hanged sew
eral of them. The survivors then sub
mitted, and the guns were fired and the
idols blown to pieces. -Leipsic Missions

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, April 2S.-Irregularity per-
vaded the days doings on the stock
exchange and the temper of the market
was extremely professional, resulting
in net changes with loss predominating.
London traded both ways, and COM
mission house business was on very
restricted scale. Traders were dis
posed to let stocks go in anticipation
of an unfavorable bank statement to-
morrow, and one of the large operators
changed tactics and took the bear side.
Forecasts of the bank statement are
usually reliable, but bank reports for
the week seemed to indicate a loss in
cash on all accounts of nearly $780,
600.
Anaconda Mining fiuctuated widely,
ending with a net gain of nearly three
points on the announcement of the cop
per combination. Silver certificates
sold at 65 at one time, the highest price
recorded in a long time. The passage
of the franchise tax bill by the legis-
lature was responsible for weakness
in most of the local stocks, there being
declines of four points in Brooklyn I'm
ion Gas, three and one-quarter in Me-
tropolitan, nearly as much in Consoli-
dated Gas and a sharp break in Man
haitian, although it left off only one
