Odd Fad of Collector.

NJ. Gustave Schlumburger, a Paris
ian collector, has one of the strangest
hobbies of the world and interest in
the work is doubled by the variety Of
the objects he seeks. His hobby,
which he has pursued for over thirty
years has been the bringing together
of the seals formerly attached to the
correspondence of the princes and
prelates settled in Syria in conse-
quence of the crusades. In all he has
secured fifty specimens. which he in
tends to bequeath to the French ma
tion.
Some of the seals are of great in
terest, as. for example. that of King
Amaury II. of Jerusalem. showing on
its reverse the three chief buildings
of the city; that of Balian d'Iberlin,
seigneur of Naplouse. who defended
Jerusalem against Saladin in 1887:
and that of seigneur of the strong
hold of Maracleus. on the seacoast Of
Syria, which shows the formidable
keep of the fortress.

Lived Lonq over Century.

A shepherd died at Mondragone
Italy. lately at the rare old age Of
12O years. Up to the very last the
senses of the old shepherd were very
keen. particularly his sight, and, re-
markable enough, he had never lost q
tooth. Every morning he was in
the habit of going into the woods and
returning with bundle of sticks. To
the very last he rode n horse and up
to a couple of days before be died

customed to see him pass at ., canter
along the streets and highways. The
old man was full of pride at his ex.
traordinary energy and staying power.

vehicle in the world. 1t is nearly 150
years old and in that time more than
100000 has been spent in refurnish-
ing 1t for the sole occasion when it is
made use of each year. A more mod.
ern coach could be had for the sum
of five years repairs, but new coach
would never seem the same to the
London public, who line the Strand

mayor of century hence will ride in

so often that practically nothing OF

SYNOPSIS
The Oriole Opera Co, having set sail
from New York City on the schooner
Lead Pipe Cinch," are wrecked on an
unknown island.
The ladies of the company, tired of
the tyrannous rule of the Manager,
Col. Mulberri, form a Women's Repub-
tic and elect Nine. Lulu Lalla presi-
dent. This new government is any
thing if not distasteful to the manager
and Christy, the property man, and
these latter two rig up in bandit cos
tunes to frighten the female contin-
gent into submission.
This, however, proves unsuccessful,
and both sides are resting on their
arms, when the U. S. S. Cuckoo under
command of Commodore Cook, and
differed by Lieut.. Lollypop and En-
sign Toddle. with Duff, as Barnacle,
comes to the rescue.
This new found contingency has new
opportunity, and the Commodore and
Barnacle, some the worse for wear, are
forced to change uniforms with the
manager and property man. which
gives the latter two sway for the time
being.
This, however, is short lived as all is
discovered, even the Commodore. by
his wife. Liuet. Lollypop wins Mile
