Luncheon a Decided Success.

A lady in Buda-Pesth recently gave
a charitable luncheon party to the
poor Of her district. She placed no
limit on the number of invitations,
and the result was that 5000 people
arrived, all eager for the treat.
Eventually the police had to draw
their sabers to keep order among the
jewellers. There were no two opin-
ions about the success of the func-
ton. The guests to a man declared
that they had never assisted at so in
tense and exciting luncheon before
in their lives. They were quite cut
up when the time came to go.

Their Product Unlike Anything Known
at Present.
There are bargains and finds to be
made in the plant world equal to any
picked up in old curiosity shops. Some
time ago Glasgow gentleman re-
ceived from his son in Egypt an en-
velope full of peas, which were said
to have been found in the tomb of one
Of the Pharaohs. He sent them to a
friend of his at Kames, in the Isle OF
Butte, who sowed them. They grew
up into plants quite unlike anything
known. at present, strong and about
six feet high, with a great white flow
er having a red center. The pods
we're long and full of excellent peas.
This new old variety found a ready
sale at good prices.

William Glackins, who admires

tiers written by collector of etchings
to a certain print seller. Between the
letters there was an interval of five

etchings by Whistler. They impress
me as if flies that had fallen in an ink
well had walked on old paper" The
second letter said: "Send me every

Cats 10 Kill Prairie Docs.

The owners of an enormous sheep
ranch in Montana suffer SO much loss
from the consumption by prairie dogs
of the tender shoots of grass, that
they have determined to import cats
enough to exterminate the dogs. The
first company of 100 cats is being re-
cruited at st. Paul. A facetious writer
in the New York Pos shows anxiety
for the future of the cats, their work
being accomplished. He says if they
do kill the prairie dogs they will have
the choice, subsequently, of starva.
ton, cannibalism or brigandage.

A GOOD PLACE TO BE "AT."


Inconeruity Of Surroundings in Wild
Country.
One of the strangest sights ever
saw in a wild country was little min
lister CARRIED in solemn black, white
dog" collar, buttonless vest and stiff
black straw hat. The dominic was
standing in leaky boat in the midst
of primeval woods, fishing the boil
ing waters of mountain torrent. At
his back cataract roared and
pounded the rocks, churning the water
to white suds; above him the eternal
snow glistened on the mountains, and
but a few yards away gaunt CHINA
mon bear was quietly nosing among
the driftwood.- Dan Beard in the

Much Money in Tramp>s Clothes.

A lot of. young fellows in an Ohio

and cut his hair. They then bought
a new suit of clothes, white shirt and
stand-up collar and dressed him out
complete. But when they attempted
to burn his hobo clothes he objected
and fought for them with such des-
peration their suspicious were
aroused, and upon searching they
