Thrilling History.

IT HERE has never been a very
1 long period in my life when I
have been without some pet. 7
cherish the memory of cats and kit
tens, puppies and canaries, even
cold, slippery pollywogs, small green
lizards and horned toads. I re-
member once when was very little,
while digging in the dirt found
one of the denizens of wells and
damp cellars-a lizard. AS I was
not yet wise enough to know this
small green thing from anything
else in the animal kingdom picked
it up and studied it curiously. It's
head moved, and I dropped it sud-
denly and ran to mama crying,
"Come and see the cute little
chicken in the yard with four legs.
Quick!" To mama's horror and dis
gust she discovered I had been
handling lizard! After that knew
a lizard when I met one, but I
never cared to become better ac-
quainted.
Notwithstanding the charms of
lizards and toads, my favorite pet
was a bird-a top knot canary, a
little beauty, and a sage in intel
ligence. His history, if written in
full, would be very exciting. He
nearly gained his freedom dozens
of times He came near losing his

New Bridge Over the Potomac.

A schedule of the bids for the con-
struction of the highway bridge across
the Potomac was submitted yesterday
afternoon to Gen. Gillespie, chief of en-
gineers, by Col. Allen, the officer in
charge of the improvement of the Poto-
mac river. There were six bids in all, as
follows Penn Bridge Company, OF
Beaver Falls, Pa, 1875, 300; Arthur
McMulIen, of New York, 81, $40, PIC;
Pennsylvania Steel Company, of Phila-
delphia, 81, 100, 900; three bids from the
Scherzer Rolling Bridge Company, of
Chicago, according to the height of the
structure, 1880, 600, 1886, 900 and $780,
900. The amount authorized by Con-
gress for the construction of the bridge
is 1896, 900. The three bids for the bridge,
made in accordance with the plans and
specifications of the War Department,
are in excess of that amount. All the
bids submitted by the Scherzer Company
are below that figure, but the company
hasssubmitted its own plan for bridge.
Under these circumstances the Secretary
of War will be obliged to revise the
plans of the War Department or ask
Congress to appropriate more money.
The question rests entirely with the
Secretary, who selected the plans on
which the bids were invited.

The Banks of Newfoundland.

The finest Goldfish In the world are
caught en- the banks Of Newfoundland.
These banks have no connection with
the shores Of the islands, from which
indeed the nearest is almost 100 miles
distant. They are really great rocky
heights rising from the bottom Of the
sea. The great bank measures 64O
miles from north to south, and from
sast to west 1t measures In places 300
miles. On this bank the depth of wa
ter varies from 90 10 $50 feet, but the
depth around 1t Is from 10000 to 150,-
500 feet.
The fishing grounds-or "cod mead
ows,r as they are called-do not cover
the whole bank, but are about 200
miles long by 81 broad. Though these
have been flshed for 400 years the cod
are as plentiful as ever. To the east
Of the great bank lies the outer or false
bank, where the sea Is from 300 to 600
feet deep. The cod caught on the
banks are finer and larger than the
fish taken of the Labrador coast. This
Is supposed to be due to the fact that
they have reached the age Of four
years and upward, at which age their
habits lead them to feed on the banks
In preference to the shore, where the
younger fish remain all the year.

Curry.

Curry Is native to India. 1t is q con-
course Of atoms, not fortuitous, but as
a marvellous result OF the Hlndoo sub
tlety, Judgment and taste, as Nirvana
and the transmigration Of souls are of
the subtlety, philosophy and attractive
ness of the Buddhistic belief. Curry is
a vegetable; rather curry is vegetables
It Is anise, coriander, cumin, mustard,
poppy seeds, allspice, almonds, asafed'
da, ghee, cardamom seeds, chill berries
cinnamon, cloves, cocoanut, cocoanut
milk, oil, curds, fenugreek seeds, an In
dian nut / can't spell, garlic, onion, gin
ger, lime juice, vinegar, mace, man
goes, nutmeg, pepper, saffron, salt, tam
arinds and turmeric.
These are all pounded together dried
in an oven or In the sun. When bot.
tied, It Is the powder which comes to
US as Indian curry. Now, is 1t moi
worth admiring the wit and skill that
have brought together such a number
Of ingredients and out Of them have
evolved an article so entirely different
from each and In which there Is moi
one elementary trace?-Harper's.

To Prevent Fraudulent Sales.

Mr.. Cation has presented in the House
of Delegates a bill to prevent the fraudu-
lent sale in bulk of merchandise or any
portion thereof otherwise than in the Or
dinary course of trade. The bill pro-
yides that it shall be unlawful for any
merchant engaged in the buying and
selling of merchandise while he is in
debtcd to any person who has, in good
fait',. given him credit for merchandise
sold 10 him, and to be used by him in
the conduct of his business, or to any
person for money loaned to him to be
nsed in the conduct of such business,
and which has been actually used in
said business, to sell his entire stock OF
merchandise, in bulk, or to sell the
major portion thereof in value in one or
more parcels, or to one or more persons
for the purpose and with the intention
of ceasing to conduct said business, in
the same manner and at the same place
as he has heretofore conducted the same,
without first making a full and complete
inventory of the merchandise so pro-
posed to be sold, in which inventory the
values shall be extended at the ruling
Wholesale price thereof; and without
further making full, true, and correct
schedule of all persons to whom he is
indebted for merchandise so sold to him,
and of all persons to whom he is in
debted for money loaned to him to be
used in the conduct of such business the
same to be open 10 the inspection of the
creditors. Whenever such notice is
sent by registered mail the creditor OF
person to whom the notice is mailed,
shall be presumed cOnclusively to have
received the notice, and the time o
the notice shall be dated from the time
of the mailing and registration, o.
actual service of said notice: In tn
event of failure to comply with the law
merchandise in the hands of purchaser
will be liable for the debts OF the pur
chaser.

Change in the Wea Their.

A high sOutherly wind prevailed yes
terday and part of last night There
was heavy sea in the river especially
when the tide was on the ebh, and the
waves caused both steam and sailing
craft to roll considerably. Vessels bound
up could make steamboat time, but those
beating down rolled, and plunged and at
times had their decks washed from stem
to stern by seas which broke over them.
The tide in the afternoon reached a high
point, invading parts of the strand al
most to the western curb. The wind
continued to roar and shortly after mid
night there was rain. Shortly before
day there was heavy shower and tn
wind shifted to the northwest. The
temperature fell rapidly and by the time
people began to move about cold rain,
driven by the heavy northwest wind,
made outdoor occupations exceedingly
uncomfortable. Later in the day the
weather became fair and cold.

1t is startling to think that while al
most any bridesmaids shop that might
be burned down Is covered by insur-
ance the British museum, II 1t were
burned down tomorrow, would not cost
the insurance companies one halfpen-
ny. Neither would the houses Of par
lament. They stand for f3,OOO,OOO,
but not one single sovereign of this
vast sum is covered by insurance.
Three thousand pounds year is spent
on force Of police and firemen to pro-
tect the houses Of parliament by day
and night, and the British museum
pays the rent Of fireman's house In
Coram street, but that is the full cost
Of the precautions against fire In these
places. The British museum, believing
that prevention is better than cure, has
no artificial light on It's innermost re-
cesses.-St. James Gazette.

Body Found.

The officers of the Norfolk steamer
which arrived here about seven O CLOCK
this morning noticed the body OF q man
in the river near the wharfwhere the po@t
landed and as the steamer left on her
wav to Washington thesuction produced
drew it into the dock south OF keardon
wharf where it was subsequently seen by
people employed near by and tele-
nbone message was sent to the station
bonse Officers soon appeared and later
DIR. Purvis, the Coroner, was notlted.
The TOD of the head was protruding from
the water, and over it the waves were
dashing. the body being in an upright
or standing position. Itwas subsequent
" taken from the dock and conveyed to
Domaine and Sons undertaking estab-
lishment. The face was besmeared with
mud and from appearances the body had
been in the water about week. The
deceased wore a moustache, looked to be
nearly six feet in height and was fine
looking in figure. He appeared to have
been between so and 60years of age and
his features were indicative Of Ger
man origin. The body was attired
in a black cheviot coat, brown
checkered pantaloons and comparatively
new shoes. A black necktie was around
the neck. No marks of violence were
visible on the body. Six dollars and
fifty cents were found in the pockets,
together with card on which was print
ed knights of st. John-Widows' and
Orphans Department" A card, which
proved to be a schedule of races, was
taken from another pocket. A notebook
was also found which bore the addresses
of ct. E. Campbell, 523 Third street,
N. E., Washington :" G Lyons,
1929 Fourth street, n. E., Washington,
and "Johr Moss, 629 - street, Phil
adelphia." The remains were examined
by a number of people, none of whom
remembered to have seen the deceased
before. DR.. Purvis decided that mas
much as there we're no marks of VIC
lence on the body nor evidences Of its
having been robbed, that an inquest was
and later detective from
Washington came here and wrote out
description of the remains. He seemed
satisfied that the deceased lived in Wash
ington and that he would soon be able
to identify the remains.

Accident to a Brakeman.

w. R. Jefries, brakeman on the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac Railroad, living in this city, mar
rowly escaped death by being struck by
a freight engine in the Anacostia freight
yards last night. Jeffries was picked
up and the morgue wagon summoned,
it being thought that he was dead.
When Coroner hewitt reached the yards
he found life was not extinct and sent
Jeffries to Providence Hospital, where
he was resting easy early this morning.
Jeffries was struck on the head, and
the left ear was cut of. AT the hos
pital an examination was made of the
wounds, but the physicians were not
able to say whether the skull was
fractured or not 1t is thought that
Jeffries will recover.

Fire in a Bureau.

The alarm of fire about halfpast
twelve O'Clock today was caused by an
alarm which had been sent in to the
effect that fire existed at the residence
of Mr.. w. NJ. Reardon, on the north

The apparatus repaired thither, but the
flames, which were in the upper story,
had been subdued in the meantime by

bors who had entered. The fire in
some mysterious manner originated in a
bureau, which was burning furiously
when discovered.
