The king of purgatory sent his lictors
to earth to bring back some skillful
Chinese physician. You must look for
one" said the king. "at whose door
there are no aggrieved spirits of disem-
bodied patients" The lictor went off,
but at the house of every doctor they
visited there were crowds Of wailing
ghosts hanging about. At last they
found a doctor at whose door there was
only a single shade and cried out,
"This man is evidently the skillful one
we are in search Of" On inquiry, how
ever, they discovered that he had only
started practice the day before.-Giles'

BIG PRICES FOR ANIMALS.
A Small stsed Fortune Needed 60
buy a Giraffe.


Because Of the difficulty of getting 1t
to America and of keeping it alive aft
er 1t arrives a good giraffe is quoted at
$1,000.
Next to the giraffe in the aristocracy
Of cost come the rhinoceros and the
hippopotamus, worth from $4,000 to
$1,000 each. If a dealer could breed
these animals, he could get rich, but
the big mammals rarely breed in cap
tivity. About the only place in America
where hippopotami have been known
to raise their young is in the menag-
erie in Central park, New York.
A chimpanZee Of size is worth $1,000,
and when one reaches the intelligence
Of the late Mr.. Crowley, Chico or Jo-
hanna he Is beyond a fixed price. The
monkey kind are most uncertain prop
erty. The animal man says they are
certain to die But the ordinary ones
can be bought very cheaply.
One can buy a nice young baby ele-
plant for $1,000 at times, but a really
good animal is worth from $1,S00 to
$1,000. An elephant does not command
the maximum price because Of the
beauty of his countenance, the ele-
gance Of his figure, his intellectual en-
dowments or his size, but because Of
a sweet, sunny disposition. A mean
elephant is about the most evil of llv-
ing things. Sooner or later he has to
be killed, usually after he has slain
two or three keepers and done more
damage than he is worth. OF two ami
mails of equally good disposition the
larger and finer commands the higher
price, Of course, but the most magnifi.
cent beast with an inclination for muir
der isn't worth as much as very COM
mon one that Is trustworthy-that is,
ordinarily so, for the sweetest tenn

case tor trial la the Police Court tois
morniug--thst of q young coIored wo-
mau named Winnie Hunter, who was
charged with throwing stones ct o
house occupied by two elderly wnlte
women on Oronoco street. One oil the
plaintiffs Is excitsble and In measure
cratic, but the other made concise
statement. The accused was hoed
$3.50. The woman who was 10 the
perturbed state of mind was kept out OF
the court room, which caused her TO
CRY out at the top OF her voice, which
performance she kept up oil the time
the court was in session. People in

supposed whipping post law was be-
log put 10 force or that the police were
about to executs capital punishment on
