The Mule on the Deck.

The mule stood on the steamboat deck,
 The land he would not tread; They put the halter lounl his neck
 And cracked him OCT the head But obstinate and brated he stood,
 As born the scene to rule A creature of the hold back breed
 A stubborn, steadluSt mule. They cursed and swore--he would not go
 Until he felt inclined; And though they thundered blow on blow,
 He altered not his mind. The deck hand to the shore complained:
 "The varmint's bound to stay!' And still upon the critters side
 The sounding lash made play. His master from the shore replied:
 The boats about to sail, As other means In vain you've tried,
 Suppose you twist his tall. "It's likely that will make him laul"
 The deck hand, brave, though it-Je, The nearer drew, with outstretched hand,
 To make the twist avail. There came a kick of thunder sound,
 The deck hand, where was het Ask of the waves that far around
 Beheld him in the sea- moment not voice was heard.
 But Winked the mule his eye, As though to ask to him occurrad:
 ''Now, how Is that for high!' Lust cut his throat" the captain roared, And end the cussed brute!' But the nohleSt soul that perlsha1 there
 Was le who tried to dot!

 "I'm afraid you do not remember me-" he said. with a smile.
 The banker squirmed uneasily. Old reeollections were tugging at his mem- ory strings.
 T am sorry to say that do not fully recall you" he hesitatingly replied.
 Let me refresh your memory, said the young man. On the seventh day of September, 1895, you kicked me through that doorway and down the outside sta!rs''
 The aged banker turned pale.

THE BRITISH PACIFIC CABLE.

The United States will have to, hurry if if wants to get ahead of Great Brit ain in the matter of cable across the Pacific ocean. Arrangements for the laying of a British Pacific cable have already been made. The cable proper will cost sS, 735, ,367, and the installation and surveying will involve an expendi- ture of $992,7 ,766, making the total cost of the cable complete $9,725.133. Great Britain and Canada have agreed to de- fray five-ninths of the total cost; New Zealand one-ninth and New South Wales. Queensland and Victoria have pledged themselves to contribute the re- mainder between them. The line is to he completed and in working order by July 31, 1902 provided the company is allowed to start laying the Australian section first. This section comprises cables from the New South Wales and New Zealand coasts to Norfolk Island, which lies about midway between them, and thence to Fiji. The route in it's en- tirety as decided upon is from Vancou- yer, British Columbia, via Tanning or Palmyra Island, lying south of Hawaii, to Fiji, and thence to Norfolk Island with branches from the last named station to Auckland, New Zealand, and to Queensland, Australia. The length of the cable over this route will be, al- lowing ten per cent. for "slac!:." 1886 nautical miles.

It is figured that the cable will be- come paying concern in four years from the time it begins business, But even if it shouldn't pay soon it would be a very convenient thing for Great Britain

A bill has been introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature to tax coal de- posits on the bed of the Susquehanna river. The towns, boroughs and town ships bordering on the river tax the land up to low-water mark. At that point their authority ceases. The coal com panies under patents granted by the legislature then step in and take pos- session of the land under the river bed. It is estimated worth fully $100,000,000 It extends from Pittston to Shickshin- nv. Some of the coal has been taken out but only a small portion. There is some question as to whether the coal is taxable or not.

It has just been discovered that hard ly an English novel is published of which a copy is not sent to the Prince of Wales. The fact that his royal high ness is great reader of novels has long been well known among his intimates. It has recently been extracted from his secretary, however, that if the names of the novels which have the princes preference were given, the publishers to reap harvests of editions would not in a majority of cases be Englishmen. As to the exact preferences of his royal highness, however, the secretary is non committal.

The Medical Press and Circular, or London, declares that the tendency to obesity depends largely on racial and individual predisposition, but occupa- ton and personal ha bits are also potent factors in determining this proneness to the deposition of fat in excessive quan- tity. The multiplication of cheap modes of transportation unquestionably favors the tendency to obesity, so that with the rapid development of underground and above ground electric traction in London and other large cities the next generation must be prepared for an ev- olution Tn this direction.
