ANTHONY TROLLOPE.
Miserien and Irritations Incident
Upon His start In Life.

upon HIS start In A1Ies
Anthony Trollope's start in life was
unpromising. AS he knew no lam
guages, ancient or modern. he became
classical usher at school in Brussels,
with the promise of commission In
the Austrian army. Then he was sud
denly transferred to clerkship in the
London postofiice. He was disqualified
for the new position by general igno-
rance and special incapacity for the
simplest arithmetic. A vague threat
that he must pass an examination was
forgotten before it was put into execu-
ton, and Trollope Enthusiastically
takes occasion to denounce the system
Of competitive examination by which
he would have been excluded. Mean
while he was turned loose in London
and attempted to live like gentleman
on 800 a year. The results are indicat-
ed by couple of anecdotes
A money lender once advanced him
"a, for which, first and last, he paid
6200. This person, he says, became so
much attached to him as to pay daily
visit to his office and exhort him to be
punctual. "These visits were very ter
rible and can hardly have been of serv-
ice to me in the office" This mild re-
mark applies also to the visits from the
mother Of young woman in the coun-
try who had fallen in love with him
and to whom he "lacked the pluck to
give q decided negative" The mother
used to appear with a basket on her
arm and an immense bonnet upon her
head and inquire in a loud voice be-
fore all his companions, Anthony
Trollope, when are you going to marry
my daughter"
No wonder that he was miserable.
He was hopelessly in debt and often
unable to pay for dinner. He hated
his work, he says, and he hated his
idleness; he quarreled with his supe-
riors, who thought him hopelessly in
capable and felt that he was sinking
ito the lowest PITS AT last he heard
of place In the Irish postoffice which
everybody despised and was successful
on applying for it, because his masters
were glad to get rid of him. At the
same time they informed his new supe-
rior that he would probably have to be
dismissed on the first opportunity

rhe ONLY Abso1ute .Franls. !,

Mrs Garfield is now the only person
in the United States who enjoys an
absolute frank" on all mail CORE
spondence. The president, members of
the United States house and senate
and cabinet officers may send official
documents or letters on official BUSH
ness through the mails without paying
postage, but they are on level with
other citizens when 1t comes to pri-
waite correspondence. Mrs. Garfield,
whose husband, the president, was as
sassinated in office, was given the
,franking privilege for life by special
act of congress. Mrs. Mckinley will
doubtless be given the same.

Summoned hx the Queen.

Miss Klonarke Klonarke of Mytilene,
in the island of Lesbos, Greece, is the
first Greek to take course of hospital
training in this country. She was edu-
Gated at the English school at Con-
stantinople. She is a graduate of the
Massachusetts General hospital, Bos-
ton, and has been head nurse of a New
England Baptist hospital in that city.
Not long since Greek warship visited
Boston, and Miss Klonarke acted as in
terpreter for j. Christophorus, surgeon
to the king of Greece, who on his re-
turn told Queen Olga of her former
subjects work in Boston. Word was
at once dispatched to Miss Klonarke
to come back to her native land to
work there. 1t was accepted, and Miss
Klonarke will leave soon for her new
sphere, where there are several chill
dren's hospitals and two general hos

Characteristic differences.

One of the striking differences in the
characteristics of men and women Is
that women like new things, while men
are loath to part with old things to
which they have grown attached. Old
pipes, old penknives, old walking sticks
these are the pets of most men, while
some even carry their affection for old
things to articles of wearing apparel.
In the matter of penknives nearly all
men are alike. A sign in front of an
Arch street cutlery establishment reads,
"Old Pocketknives Repaired" and a
clerk in the store explained that that
branch of the business was quite equal
to the sale of new knives. "About the
only people who buy new knives" he
said, "are women, who give them to
men as presents. A man seldom buys
a new knife. He brings his old one to
be fixed. AS an Illustration of this, |
know of one man who has been carry
ing the same knife for over twenty
years. At various times he has had va
rious things done to it, until now l
doubt if any portion of the original
knife remains" Philadelphia Record.

He turned sharply to see the heads Of
two panther cubs thrust out Of the hole
near the tree their ears laid close to
their round heads and their eyes sweep
ing the scene in fierce inquiry.
"Ha, ha! A regular family party I've
stumbled on" laughed Clyde. "S-s-s!
Seek em, boys!'
And the dogs pulled one kitten out to
his death, while the other scrambled
back in the hole.
Suddenly there was slight noise in
the edge Of the forest, and two half
grown panthers came cautiously into
the circle of the light, shifting the air
uneasily and evidently afraid of trap.
The smell of the scorched hair and
the binding glare Of the fire puzzled
them.
But Clyde did not wait for them to
become satisfied of the safety Of an at
tack. He fired two shots in quick sue
cession, killing one animal and badly
wounding the other, which the dogs at
tackled at once.
When the sharp, short fight was over,
one dog Iimped back to receive the
praise Of his master, while the other
lay dead beside its dead foe.
"You and are alone now, Brave, my
boy" said his master, patting the dogs
head. "Well, when daylight comes we'll
see after that little varmint in the
hole"
The night passed without further
molestation, but Clyde kept the fire
burning brightly while he busted him
self in SHINING three Of the panthers
the one which had sprung into the
fire being worthless.
Two were monstrous brutes male
and female evidently the parents of
the smaller pair as well as the kittens.
After a generous breakfast of roasted
venison he enlarged the hole with his
pick AMI shovel, and, after examining
his revolvers, crept in cautiously with
a lighted torch, while the dog remained
outside protesting against such fool
hardy conduct by dismal yelps and
whines.
The cavity Under the spreading roots
was deserted, but a larger opening led
into the rocky mountain side, and
through this the astonished young man
crept, to find himself in a natural
cavern
He soon discovered and killed the
kitten, but could find no signs of any
more.
The floor of the cave was covered
with bones, and neatly made nest of
sticks and leaves was in the corner
But Clyde did not notice these; he
was examining the rocky sides, which
were of peculiar veined grayish
stone
There was a smile of satisfaction on
his face when he had finished this ex-
animation, and when he crept forth
into daylight again he muttered,
tweaking Braves ears until the dog
yelped in pain and wonder:
Queen Bess is mine, Brave! There's
gold enough there to satisfy even
George Randolph, l should say, and
claim it as the panther's bequest."
George Randolph could say no more,
although he insisted on visiting the
panther's den to see for himself
Some folks are lucky" he admitted
reluctantly. IF that mine is worth
one hundred thousand dollars, you can
have her, for a Randolf never goes
back on his word"
That was only year ago, and the
mine has already netted it's owner over
100000.
But he regards as a dearer prize the
loving wife who rules his heart and
home-his Queen Bess.

A letter was received at the postoffice
in Washington directed to the biggest

The postmaster was absent, and on
his return one of the younger clerks in

"And what became of it?' inquired
the postmaster

EInvnr OF Roots.

The carrot owes its fattening powers
to the sugar and its fiaver to a peculiar
fatty oil; the horseradish derives its
favor and blistering power from vol
atile acrid oil. The Jerusalem artichoke
contains 141a per cent of sugar ana 3
per cent of inulin "a variety of starch,
besides gum and peculiar substance
to which it's flavor is owing. Garlic
and the rest Of the onion family derive
their odor from a yellowish, volatile,
acrid oil, but they are nutritious from
containing nearly half their weight of
glutinous substances not yet clearly de-
fined.
