A Trick Tint Won.

A few weeks ago 4 pretty little Pa.
risian actress was appearing at q the
ater in Geneva. On the last night Of
the play tall, we'll dressed man sent
in his card and asked permission to
thank her personally for the pleasure
that her performances had given to
him. He entertained her at supper
and asked permission to see her off at
the station on the following day. He
arrived with his groom, who was car
rying a tremendous bouquet of flowers
He told her that he had telcgraphed
to his brother, who was in Paris and
who had influence both with the press
and the theatrical managers and that
he would meet her on her arrival in
Paris. TO the astonishment of the
actress all this. turned out to be true,
and she found magnificent carriage
at the station. A fine dinner followed.
The girl was dumb with astOnish-
ment. Her host told her that it was
all for the sake Of his brother whom
he loved dearly. and he spoke pathet-
ically of the beautiful bouquet that
she carried and which was made up Of
flowers culled in the garden Of the old
homestead. She offered him the bou-
quet instantly, and he accepted it with
a thousand thanks.
Now she has found out why she was
treated so well. She had been the
means Of smuggling watch springs to
the value Of $4,000 into Paris.

gine of goods train. charging it re-

allow the train 10 proceed. but rs soon
rs there WAS any attempt 10 renew the
journey the rlrphant returned to the
encounter and resumed It's obstructive
tactics, The driver WAS afraid TO
charge the brute, lest the train should
bc thrown of the rails. and the contest
might have gone on much longer had

ginc and. setting It's fore feet firmly
between the rails. cndcavored to shove
the train backward with its hind quar-

The driver took advantage OF the op-
portunity and put on steam, gradually

gine went over the hind legs Of the

Longevity of Whales.

Some light was thrown upon the SUBJ
ject Of the vitality of whales by finding
one of these animals in Bering sea in
1890 with ''toggle" harpoon head in
its body bearing the mark of the Amer
lean whaler MOntezuma. That vessel
was engaged in whaling in Bering sea
about ten years, but not later than
1854. She was afterward sold to the
government and was sunk in Charles
ton harbor during the civil war to serve
as an obstruction. Hence it is estimat-
ed the whale must have carried the
harpOOn not less than 36 years.
In connection with this fact William
II. Dali gives an account in The Ma
tiOnal Geographic Magazine Of a dis
cusSion with Captain E. p. Herendeen
Of the United States National museum
Of cases Of whales that have been sup
posed to have made the. way from
Greenland waters to Bering strait and
to have been identified by the harpoons
they carried. While it is very likely
that the whale really makes the pas
sage an uncertainty must always be
allowed, for ships were often chang
ing ownership, and their tools were
sold and put on board Of other vessels.
and harpoOn irons were sometimes Civ
en- or traded to EskimoS. 1t therefore
becomes possible that the animal was
struck with n secondhand iron.-Popu-

HOW COURT CAN BE BROUGHT
BACK

Washington, October 9.-The Chinese
minister said today that If the powers re-
garded it as essential that the Emperor
and Empress Dowager should return to
Pekin, he was quite confident this could
be brought about, first by giving posi-
tive assurances for the personal safety of
their majesties, and then as plain evil
dence of this assurance. directing tina
the bulk of the allied forces now at FPe-
kin be withdrawn to Tien Tsin or some
other point, leaving only few hundred
troops at Pekin as a guard.
Mr.. Wu's statement was brought out by
the announcement he conveyed toEsthe
State Department yesterday that the i'm
perial family had postponed their return
to Pekin because of the presence there of
the allied forces and by the regret over
this announcement both among officials
in Washington and at foreign capitals.
