A DANGEROUS GAME.
A Roman Pastime That Not Infrs-
 quently Ends in Tragedy.

Italians in Rome have a delightful little game, which is called the Pas satella." It Is played mostly nowadays III low drink shops, and as it leads fre- quently to murder, the police are anx- ious to stop it. Round a table some men are smoking. At the head sits a man with flask of wine and a glass before him. He is the president of the party All the company, includ- ing the president. have paid for that flask of one, but not one of them can drink a drop of it unless the president gives permission. He, however, may drink as often as he likes. When he passes the glass to another that other may drink until the president. cries "Stop!" and the glass is passed to the next. Sometimes the "Stop!" comes before a single drop is drunk. This is the fun for the others who are allow ed to drink. A good-natured president rarely repeats this joke, but it some times happens that he has a grudge against one of the men, and then the unfortunate victim sits the whole ev- ening, smoking and frowning, while he sees all the others drink but himself. This is making an "Olmo" of him! And woe to president who would make an "Olmo" of the same man twice, for he would soon have a knife run across his throat. It is the fre- quency of such 6 tragic end that causes the police to try to prevent the game when possible.

BULL FIGHT AT BoULooNE.
Foreigners Dlsgrsted at the .sioodshec

Foreigners Disgusted at tbe Bioodshed
 About q fortnight ago a bulldght took place at Boulogne in spite of the threat of the national government to enforce the law against such combats. The exhibition was held at 10 o'clock in the evening under the electric light. Several hundred excufsionists went in three specially chartered steamers froI. Hastings and Brighton. Persons who beheld the spectacle and who had seen the bullights at Madrid are of the bloodthirsty combats that they had ever witnessed. After having nobly fought for life six bulls were killed by the daring skill of the Spanish and French toreadors. La Laverito killed three bulls with three thrusts and two misses Robert also killed three after several misses. Three horses were slain in the arena, two of them being frightfully mangled. A picador WAS also hurt, as one of the bulls gored his horse and pressed him against the bar rier. During the performance a panic was started by the swaying of one of the tiers of seats, and about 5000 men and women clambered over each other toward the narrow exists. Happily the crowd was quieted. When the gorging of the horses began, several English women in the crowd fainted, and were removed by their escorts. Before the scene was half over about third of the spectators had quietly retired. They were mostly foreigners and open ly expressed their disgust.

SOLDIERS WILLS.
How the English Private Disposes of
 His Belonging.

How does the soldier killed in bat tie or fatally wounded. dispose of his property, providing he has any to leave behind him? The list of casual ties reported regularly from South Af- rica and the Philippines lend perti- hence to the inquiry. Every English soldier has served out to him when he enlists a little volume which contains. among other things, three blank forms of will which he is at liberty to fill out at his leisure In a majority Of eases, however. he pays no attention to this pocketbook and goes into bat tie with his will still unmade. After he has been hit by bullet and begins to realize that his chances of getting home are small. the soldier begins to think more carefully of the loved ones left behind him and of the provisions he has made for their comfort. As a result many queer and pathetic wills have been found upon the bodies Of dead soldiers. and in every case the wishes of the testator have been re- spected. During the Soudan campaign of 1884 the body of one soldier was found on the battlefield of Fl Teb. who, before death had serawled with the end of lead bullet on the inside of his helmet, the words All lo my wife When an English army invad- ed Afghanistan one soldier was caugh. while doing some scout duty and shot down when one of his comrades were in sight Weeks afterward his body was found lying before tall rock on which he had written in letters of blood, T want all to go to mother" In both cases the war department held the wills to be valid. and aw that the proper distribution of the property was made.

 Ifas a Prizeti Curi,.

One of the prized curios of the Phil aeelphia mint is coin which is 2,000 years old, and which was coined at the ancient mint of that other Philadel- phia of the far east mentioned in the bible. It is still in good condition, and the inscription is perfectly legi- ble. The design of the face of the coin bears a striking resemblance to the Goddess of Liberty of our own currency, and underneath is the one word, Demos,' = which means ''the people On the other side is the fig ure of Diana, with her bow arched, and the inscription. Diana, Friend of the Philadelphians' When this coin was struck off, Philadelphia was the most important city of Lydia. The prize was picked up in Europe by Jo- sepn Mickey, a celebrated Philadel- Lhia violinmaker and numismatiss of high repute. who presented it to the t.-Fhiladelphia Record

Taught His Dog to Pace.

Minneapolis Journa.: NJ. B. Scott. a veterinary surgeon of Fariba'lt, s. D., has a novelty in the shape of wonder full pacing dog. So far as is known, this is the only instance on record of a pecing dog, though a trotting dog is not unheard of, and man named Har- ry Ketcham, a Canadian, once owned trotter whom he called Doe This dog, which was a pointer, he exhibited at raca-tracks and fairs all over the country. He was said to have made $10,000 out of the animal. pr. Scott's dog will race against either horse or bicycle, and seems to enjoy 1t, though he evidently regards it as a very seri- ous matter. Gypsy, as the doctor calls him, can make very good time, and Dr. Scott has speeded nm from standing start to make a quarter of d mile in forty-five seconds, and the first eighth in twenty seconds. When he was teaching him to pace, Dr. Scott put small string hobbies on him in order to prevent him from breaking. Gypsy paced little before the doctor bought him, though so little as to be of no consequence; but his new master thought he saw possibilities of the dog doing better, and began a course of careful and systematic training, until he obtained the present result. The dog is pure blooded St. Bernard and weighs 40 pounds, is three feet high, measures six feet from the tip of his bushy tail to the end of his handsome nose and is about years old. He races alone, without driver, and, be- sides being very fine animal, is real curiosity.

WITH siLvERDoLLARA AND TACK
How Circus Bnl Was Made to Hang
 Suspended from a Ceiling.


 "Of course we used to put up small bills wherever they'd catch the eye" said bill poster who travelled with circus making one-day stands, and one thing we used to do that always pleased folks was to hang a bill from ceiling. You had to have a wooden ceiling, to start with, and then all you wanted, besides the bills, was tack and a silver dollar It took practice to do it, but when you'd got the knack 1t was very simple and easy. You attached two bills together, one at the foot of the other so that it would hang down when the first one was attached to the ceiling. Then you folded the bills up, with tack thrust point upward through the top of the bill, with sil- yer dollar under it, ub against the head and between it and the other folds of paper under 1t. Then, sometime when the room was full of people-this might be hotel office or perhaps barroom-yo you tossed the bills up, and there, was weight enough in the dollar to drive the tack into the ceiling far enough to hold. Then the weight of the paper itself and of the dollar would open the bills out, and the coin would drop and you catch it as it fell. The bills would be seen, fastened up there somehow, most of the people wouldn't know how, and opening out with the lower bill hanging so you could read it. This was not the greatest thing in bill posting ever was, but. as I said before, 1t always pleased folks

 COLD TO ORDER.
Some Ways of Producing Artificial Low
 Temperatures


 In the line of refrigeration on the rail, the newest and cleverest inyen- tion is ear that by the motion of it's own wheels, congresses ammonia gas to a liquid, which, i'll expanding again through pipes. produces the cold re- quired to preserve the perishable prod- uets transported in the vehicle. What the newly discovered liquid air may accomplish in the branch of enterprise here discussed, no man can say, though astonishing things are predict ed for it, but already cold in this in- tensely concentrated form Is on the market aud may be bought by the gall Ion. Very possibly, in the near future carts may go from door to door in cities with cans of eold-i. G., liquid air put up In suitable ns-depositing full reeeptacles each morning for the days supply, and taking away the "empties.' A little of the stuff in the family refrigerator will keep the pro- visions sweet, while what remains may be utilized for cooling the air of the house. a spoonful being deposited here and there in saucer. An inventor has recently devised scheme for sprink- ling a town with the help of balloons, which carry up into the air long hose- pipes connected with fre-plugs on the ground. This is for the purpose of engendering coolness; and the sama object is sought, by another genius, who proposes to erect in various parts of the city very tall skeleton towers, to the tops of which large bombs filled with earbonie acid, will be run up for explosion by an electric spark. Of course, the earbonic acid, expanding in the form of vapor, will chill the surrounding atmosphere, thus giving relief to the heat-oppressed community below. An idea that is even now used in many factories to cool the air in the buildings is to throw a spray of cold water into room until the air is supersaturated, and then to force the air thus cooled through the outer rooms.-Boston Transcript.
