Catching A Rorua.

In great city like London there are many importers, who make a busi- ness of appealing to public sympathy by shamming sickness. Not only dc they pretend to be crippled or blind, but they also feign epilepsy and other diseases, and are taken to public hos pitals in a state of assumed uneon- scfousness. One of these imposters was carried into hospital from po- lice van and laid on a sofa in the ex= amining room. The resident surgeon had keen eye, and watched the pa tient closely. As the apparently un- conscious man was deposited on the sofa few pennies fell out of his pockets and rolled on the floor The patient opened his eyes and made a quick movement to recover the coins Then he bethought himself and drew back.
 The doctor, accustomed to deal with such pretenders, turned to an attend ant and remarked;
 You notice, probably, how limp the man is, and how heavily he Is breath ing. It is a bad ease, and needs im- mediate and severe treatment. Fetch the battery.
 There was a suspicious trembling og the patients hands. and the loud breathing ceased When the battery was produced, the doctor added brisk, ly.
 "He scarcely breathes. You must be quick. Let him have the full power of the battery. Half a charge will not answer the purpose.
 The patient by this time had opened his eyes from sheer terror, and before the wires were well in hand he had found his voice. Sitting bolt upright on the sofa, he shrieked.
 Let me go, I beg of you. There is nothing the matter with me. am only a poor sort of humbug, that tries to make few pennies by shamming. Turn off your batteries and let me go"
 The patient was dismissed after he had picked up the coins which had fallen under the sofa.

 The women who go to London to make speeches at the international congress need not fear that they will get lost in the big town, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. The hos pitality subcommittee Gsn't that ex- pressive?) has drawn up a list giving minute information upon hotels and boarding houses, and such details as the lowest charge for rooms and meals per day or week and the distances from hotel or boarding house to the Vest minister palace hotel, either by bus or rail. Furthermore, Mrs. Broadey Reid, the convener of the Literature sub committed, has prepared map, show ing the positions of the various halls, where the meetings are to be held Now what the American visitors would appreciate more than list of meeting halls, of which they have enough and to spare at home, would be list of tea rooms, diagram showing how to find the inn where "Pickwick" was writ ten and the site of the "Old Curiosity Shop" and the house where Bill Sikes met his death. They would also like to wander through the abbey and stand long al l worshipfully before the bust of Longfellow.

REGULAR EXODUS.
Of Mohammedans Has Set In from the
 Island of Crete.

or Mohammedans Has Set In from the
 Island of Crete.
 4 regular exodus of Mohammedans from Crete has set in, and, as there seems to be no way of stopping it, it is believed that the Porte will soon make virtue of necessity and pass the word for all true Mussu1mans to quit the island Although large sums of money have been distributed at Can- dia among those willing to stay, be- sides free gifts of timber for the re- construction of their houses, boats con- tinue to leave crowded with emigrants. The news of Prince Georges visit to Candid only gave fresh stimulus to the exodus, and, at latest accounts, the prospect was that the whole Mussul- man population would soon be gone. The Turks are much distressed at this state of affairs, and accuse England of being principally to blame, since she, of the four powers, has nearly always been foremost in assuring Turkey that her rights would be safeguarded. It is not denied that England has endeav- ored, in certain measure, to fulfill her promises, but, as the Christian Gre tans seem to have deliberately adopted the policy of making the island unin- habitable for Moslems, it is practical ly impossible for any outside influence to induce them to remain. It is gen. orally admitted that each family is worth a considerable sum per annum to the island in taxes and industry. but the Christians, having obtained the upper hand, are resolved to pursue their advantage to the uttermost, and to drive all Moslems out of the eoun- try, so far as it lies within their power to do so. This is, at all events, an ef- fective way of putting an end to relig- ious differences.

The small quadrupeds are made to turn a wheel with their feet, and in this manner. and by means of . simple mechanical contrivance, they are able to make about 2,800 reels Of 137 yards each daily. To produce this quantity it is estimated that they cover course of 1S.000 yards.

 A reporter named Jones. on daily in St. Louis was detailed to interview the governor of another state, who had slipped into the city on a secret polit- ieal mission, says the Argonaut. He learned to his disgust that Jackson, the star reporter of rival sheet. also proposed to call in an hour. Acting on inspiration, he sent up a card bear ing Jackson's name and was promptly admitted. When he had learned all he wanted he asked, with gross inten- tional impotence, whether the infor- nation was really true. The governor turned purple. by question my word?" he said. "Oh, don't get gayr replied Jones airily. Common gov- ernors cut no ice with my office" The old man loaned at the mouth.

The cashier of thriving bank in q big western town was doing the talk ing.
 When began my career in the banking business" he said. "it was in an old established bank in an Ohio city to which my father had been elected president. We didn't live in the town until his election, and moved there when he took charge After about six months experience I was made assistant receiving teller. and be- tween that and my youth, and the fact that my father was president. I guess l was about four sizes too large for the earth. But got over it, and one day when there was a lulI and the re- ceiYing teller had gone across the street to look after check that he had taken l popped up to the window and took my first lesson. A rough looking old fellow came that thought was farmer from Hayville. He came straight for me. and said he wanted to deposit some money. It wasn't my business to undertake new customer. but thought l knew it all, and began 10 talk to him. He said that he wanted to deposit cent that day, but had more. Well, gave him the ha ha then and there, and told him to run around to the Dime Savings bank and become a depositor on the installment plan. 1 also said some more funny things, and after I had had all the fun there was, he said that while he wish ed to deposit only cent that day. he would put in two cents next day. and four next, and so on for four weeks. gave him the laugh again, and told him we really couldn't do a small busi- ness like that, and he must be a good boy and run along to the penny ante bank around the corner. Then he went away, and l was still laughing when the receiving teller came back.
 "I told him what was making me smile, and he looked at me kind of funny, thought, and went to figuring on sheet of paper without further comment. Presently he handed the paper over to me That old fellow he said, is millionaire. whose busi- ness we have been after for a year. Those figures will show you that what you consider is a penny ante bank business would have amounted to something over $2100O0 in the four weeks, or 24 banking days. during which he wished to deposit his money. He's crank, but he's got the cash. all the same, and we want him. Just what effect your able funny business has had upon him I can't say, but suppose you go and talk to your father about it. or do you want me to report it to the cashier and let him see the president?'
 ''I had cold chilIs and collapse and lot more things during the next five minutes. and then I mustered up eour- age and went to my father with the story. He promptly reduced me to the ranks and cut my salary 10 per cent. and I learned a whole lot in the next six months, by which time we had the old fellow all right, and I was made assistant again. but I wasn't the same kind of one by good deal"

To Prevent sleen Walking.

A device to prevent sleep walking is to lay upon the floor, by the side of the somnambulist' bed, sheet of iron, zinc or other metal, wide enough to insure that he will step upon it. When the sleep-walking fit comes upon him his foot touches the cold surface of the metal, and he instinctively draws that leg into bed again. After two or three attempts the somnambu- list gives it up and settles down in bed.
