Man With Negro Blood In Veins is
Bounced.

Several Amer1cus people, former re-
sidents of Albany, are discussing the
sensational story sent out from that
city day or two since relative to a
young man who, after being received
into the city's highest social circles for
a month, was discovered to be a
''mongrel'' with negro blood in his
veins. When the discovery was made
CONSERVATION reigned, and the high
flyer was treked to the city limits by
a party of young men at the noon hour
of night and the "23'' sign pinned to
his coat tail. The fellow held good
position, possessed a pleasing address,
sang sweetly, bought candy and bun
coed the bellies and beaux in orthodox
style. Albany is still splitting cotton,
and the next stranger who blows into
society there must present a sworn
affidavit that his parents were of al
abaster whiteness.

A CATS EYES.
The Chinese Discovered Their Use as
Time Indicator.

The first European to learn of tho
use of cat as a time indicator was
M. Hue, who in work on the Chinese
empire tells how he was initiated into
the mystery.
M. Hue and a party Of friends set
out to visit a Chinese Christian mis-
sion settlement among the peaSantry.
They met a young Chinaman on the
road, and to test his intelligence they
asked him If he could tell them the
time. The native looked up at the sky,
but the clouds hid the sun from view,
and he couldn't read any answer there.
Suddenly he darted away to a farm
and returned in a few moments with u
cat in his arms. Pushing up it's eyelids
with his hand, he told Hue to look at
them, at the same time volunteering
the information that it was not noon
yet. While they were puzzling over
the case the boy went about his bust
ness.
When the party reached the village,
they asked the Christian converts if
they could tell the time by cats eyes
anu dOW IL was OOI1C. 1uIuGuldIcIy
there was a wild hunt, and all the cats
obtainable in the neighborhood were
brought before them
The Chinese pointed out that the pu-
pills of cats eyes were gradually mar
rover up to y noon, when they be-
came scarcely perceptible lines drawn
perpendicularly across the eye, and
after that dilation recommended. Hue
examined the eyes of several cats and
verified what the Chinese had told
him.-Chicago Chronicle

AN ODD WAGER.
The Peculiar Ret n Foreign Prince
Laid and Won In Paris.

The Peculiar BET n Foreign Prince
Laid and Won In Paris.
Gambling has always been a favor
lite occupation for the sons of royal
houses, but none of them probably
has ever exhibited so much wit and
ingenuity in his betting as foreign
prince did at his stay In Paris
he laid heavy wager with a mem
Der Of the Imperial club OF the French
capital that within two hours he
would be arrested by the police with
out committing any offense or pro-
vOkings the officers of the law in any
fashion. Accordingly, having clothed
himself In rags of the most disreputa-
bic appearance, he walked into one of
the most aristoeratic restaurants in
the city. and ordered a cup of choco-
late. The waiter refused to serve him
unless he showed evidence that he
could pay. The prince at once drew
roll of bank notes from his pocket
and offered one of large denomination
to the astonished attendant. The lat
ter took the bill and carried it at once
to the proprietor, who sent for the
police, in the meantime allowing his
strange guest to be served.
AS soon as the authorities arrived
they arrested the incognito son Of roy
atty and took him to the nearest sta
ton, where of course he was released
after he had disclosed the facts of the
affair.-New York Tribune.
