but one of the -bsst known opera tors
in this city was completely takeL
'abaek recently, says the Philadelphia
Press.
The patient, with a leg so badly hur
that amputation had been decided on
had -exeited the interest of the sur

complaint. He brought a couple o
surgical friends into the ward to SET
the case, and. as he approached tbs
cot remarked
WELL how are you to-day?"
Like a. flash the patient answered:
20, I'm sick abed." and the surgeon
vowed that the knife should not b;
used the next day, as intended. Best
OF all, he saved the merry young mans

Verestchagin, the famous painter of
war scenes, who lost his life on the
battleship Petrepavlosk, had many Gu
rious experiences in this country, says
the New York Times. One day at an
exhibition of his paintings rich brok-
er said to him:
What is the lowest price you will
take for that picture?''
Not a penny less than $4,000 replied
the Russian artist.
"Oh, / say, Mr.. W" protested the
broker, you can't expect to get sc
much for your pictures as if you had
been dead for several centuries, like
Michael Angelo and that class of can
vas decorators"

COSTLY HOMES AND. GREAT FOR
TUNES.

A half a century ago, S1,O00,000 was
considered a great fortune. Now there
are = great many people in this coun-
try whothink nothing of spending that
amount on d home.
OF course, there are residences in
New York, which, with their furnish
lngs, cost a great deal more than ST.
000.000. 1t is said that Mr. Carnegie,s
cost $5,O0o,00O. and MIR Sehwab's is
10 cost a number of millions, just how
many has not been stated in the pub
lic prints. Senator Glark's residence.
1t is estimated, cost several millions
and there are. d number of others that
have no doubt passed the million mark
Still, when there is sale of a resi-
dence for more than a SI000.000. there
is great deal of gossip about it. The
sale indicates that the purchaser is
very rich man, for it costs a large
amount of money to live in. 81, 100000
house.
The sale of the late Mr.. Whitney's
house the other day has been the sub
ject of a good many newspaper ar
ticles. One account says that the price
paid was S2,5o00OO, another 100000
and still another $1,6O0,0OO. 1t is prob
able the latter sum is nearer the COR
rect one.
The purchaser of it, James Henry
Smith, is reputed to be worth $50,00o,-
| 900. He is bachelor. and his great for
tune came to him from an uncle who
died in London, but who accumulated
his wealth in this country. If reports
are correct Mr.. Smith, the founder of
the fortune lived on less than $1,000
| a year. Still, it is probable that he
was happier living on that amount than
if he had spent 100000 a year. The
nephew is more liberal in his expendi-
| lures, and lives in accordance with
the fortune he has.
The Whitney house is one of the
! show houses of New York. 1t is fill
There are pictures in it that~coste for
tunes, one costing as much as $4,000
and a rug that cost $4,000. Mr.. Whit
ney was man of cultivated tastes,
and he had Sufficient wealth to get
what he wanted.
In the course of a very few years
! New York will contain hundreds of
houses that cost great fortunes. Such
houses are being built all the time
AS a matter of fact New York lis be-
ing entirely rebuilt. Even the old
tenement houses are being pulled down
| aud re alared ~hv structures that ara
| an ornament to the city.

Secretary to the President Loeb the
other day telegraphed a temperance
worker: THE President does not and
never has used tobacco in any form. T"
Some OF the purists among the news
papers are calling on Secretary Loeb to
asks the New York Globe: does Mr..
Loeb wish to be understood as saying,
does not used?'" Maybe Mr.. Loeb
was more intent upon saving telegraph
toll than upon the elegance of his Eng
lish. Poetic license is not to be men
toned in the same breath with tele-
graphic license.

The Canadian Pacific Railroad is
heavily subsidized by the Canadian
government. 1t charges Canadians
3 cents a mile fare while an Ameri-
can may buy a ticket on this side
of the border and travel over the same
road at the rate of cents a, mile.
That is how subsidies and government
protection sometimes work. 1t reminds
us, by the way, that the Canadians
can buy American protected agricul-
tural implements. and other protected
articles for prices lower than those
charged consumers In this country. The
home taxpayer is always mulcted. for
bounties and protection.

Senator Bacon will be interested to
hear that the statue of Frederick the
Great which the German Emperor is &c
give the United States has been de-
scribed by a German art critic as "aw-
full. From the standpoint of art, it
cannot possibly be more awful" than
some of the statues that now "adorn'
the parks and squares of the Capitei
