RISE OF II TOLsToIs.
Curious Story Told of the Famous
NOvelist's Ancestor.

The following curious story of the
Tolstoi family is retailed in one of the
society papers, says a London cable
dispatch to the New York American:
The founder of this family was in Pc
ter the Greats time Il simple door
keeper before the apartments of the
emperor. One day as he was standing
at his post a nobleman approached
and asked to be admitted. The d0o!-
keeper, however, refused to let Lin
in, declaring that the emperor had
| given positive orders that no one that
afternoon was to be admitted to his
presence.
But said the noble, II am the
Prince -"
still. I cannot admit you, sir" said
the doorkeeper.
Exasperated, the nobleman struck
the do%orkeeper across the face with
his riding whip.
Strike away, your highness," said
the other, "but nevertheless l cannot
let you in"
The tumult lad been overheard by
the emperor. He now opened the door
and asked what the trouble was. The
noble told him. He listened in silence.
and then he said: you, Tolstoi, were
struck by this gentleman for obeying
my orders. Here, take my stick and
strike him back"
"But, your majesty" exclaimed the
noble, "this man is a common SOL
dier!"
"Then 1 make him a captain" said
the emperor.
But l am an officer of your majes-
tvs household"
II make him a colonel of my life
guards"
my rank, as your majesty knows, is
that of a general" protested the noble
man.
"Then I make him a general, too,
and thus the beating you are to get will
from a man Of your own rank"
The noble then took his punishment
philosophically. AS for the young SOL
der, he was next day commissioned a
general and made a count. From him
the present family of the Tolstois is
said to be descended.

"CITIZEN" TRAlN'S ROMANCE
Incident Of a Railway Journey That
Led to His Marriage.

Incident Of a Railway Journey That
Led to His Marriage.
When the late George Francis Train,
one of New York's most picturesque
characters and who insisted upon being
called Citizen Train, was twenty
one he started on a journey west. At
Syracuse he was struck by the ap-
pearance of "a lovely grip bidding
goodby to a half dozen students. He
turned to his travelling companion and
said, "Look at that girl with the
curls." "Do you know her?' asked his
companion. Train replied, II never
saw her before, but she shall be my
WIFE," He continues: II snatched up
my satchel, rushed over to the train
and the car which the girl had entered
and dropped into a vacant seat oppo-
site her. An elderly gentleman was
her companion. My chance came soon
er than l expected. The elderly gen.
tleman tried to raise the sash of the
window and could not move it. 1t had,
as usual, stuck fast. l sprang lightly
and very quickly across the aisle and
said, Permit me to assist you,' and,
adding my youthful strength to his,
raised the window. Both he and the
young lady thanked me,
'"The old gentleman went further and
asked me to take the seat directly op-
posite him and the young lady on the
same side of the car. l did so, and we
entered into conversation immediately"
Train continued the acquaintanceship
and married the girl.

FARM FOR SEA GULLs.
Scheme of an Old Whaler Who Says
He Knows the Birds,

III IA w w L III says
He Knows the Birds.
The thousands of sea gulls which
have been making themselves at home
in the eastern part of Portland, Ore,
and on the water front for the past
month or more show no signs OF re-
turning to their accustomed haunts
along the coast. says the Portland Ore
gonian.
an cd retired whaler who lives by
the L;tdd tract, where the gulls most
do congregate to hunt for earthworms.
etc, has al idea of capturing and CON
flnlng Il lot of them ond keeping them
to produce eggs for market. He has
visited the arctic regions on both this
coast and the east coast and has seen
whole schooner loads of eggs of slllls
and other seagoing birds gathered about
Labrador. in the Farallone islands and
on the coast of Alaska and sent to mar
ket. He has many a time Toasted on
omelet Of gulls' eggs, which find ready
sale in many markets. He a y they
are not so delicate as hens eggs, hav-
ing 4 slight tinge of a fishy taste. but
they are wholesome and nutritious and
are much better than no eggs at all.
which of late has formed a part of his
breakfast very often. He believes that
If the gulls were kept at Portland in
confinement awhile and properly fed
their eggs would be as good as hens
eggs and much larger.
Gulls are great producers of eggs, as
he has seen miles Of land and rocks
covered with them. He proposes to
fence in a piece of land along a slough,
including a section of the slough, and
to confine there as many gulls as he
can procure and imagines that in a lit
tie while they will become tame and
can be treated the same as barnyard
fowls.

made their homes here since the first
Whitemen dared to venture into this
region say that the ice crop is one
that has never been known to fail.
Instead of mere pleasure seekers,
the transcontinental railroads inteno
that those they bring out from the
east this year with the object of in
ducing them to settle in the west
shall be real ''homeseekers." With
that purpose in view they have de.
cided not to make the same low rates
that prevailed last year, when upon
the payment of So, plus the regular
one way rate, the people who came out
could go home, thus giving them the
privilege of going back east for a
couple of dollars. This year the
homesick pilgrim will have to pay
full rate, should he decide that the
life of the west is too strenuous for
him, but he will be given very cheap
passage in this direction, and will
be known as a "%colonist," instead OF a
''homeseeker," as he was called last
year. The cheap one-way rate will
go into effect next month and will
continue into April.
