The Pardon Papar,uainht.

Under the headline "A Queer Munic
ipal Gift" a Vienna paper tells this
story: In the year 1869 private sol.
der stationed at Sass killed an officer
Of his regiment and was condemned to
be shot. Comrades who knew the ex-
tenuating circumstances, friends,
priests. relatives-all pleaded In vain
for mercy. the colonel In whose hands
the matter rested insisting on the
death penalty. The day came and the
man was taken to the place of execu-
ton. Six members Of his regiment,
armed with rifles, one of which con-
tanned a blank cartridge, took their
places as executioners. The mans
eyes we're bandaged and with arms
securely plnioned he stood ready for
the volley, shouting Comrades, aim
welr when a mounted courier dashed
into the crowd waiving a white flag,
crying 'Pardonr He was Lieutenant
Baron du Mont. with the coloners
pardon, which would have been USE
less had It arrived one minute later.
The municipality secured the FIVE
bullets from the firing squad. had them
silvered and mounted in the form of a
tiny pyramid on a silver plate, and
this, suitably inscribed, is known as
the pardon paperweight,' the only one

The Human LohatAr.

The lobster has always appealed to
the Englishman as affording a nick
name for his fellow Englishman.
Lobster" was favorite term of abuse
among the EIizabethans, though It il
only conjechlral that an allusion to red
faces was conveyed. AS signifying a
soldier, lobster originated in the
civil war, being applied to the Round
head cuirassiers, as Clarendon ex-
plains, because of the bright iron
shells with which they were covered"
Afterward The allusion was transfer
red to the soldiers red uniform. But
that was the boiled lobster" The raw
lobster was naturally the man in
blue. the policeman. In earlier days
We find Crosse explaining that ito boil
ones lobster" meant for a clergyman
to become a soldier.-London Chron-

The usefuI Crocodile Fish.

In the rivers and lakes of the Mexi-
can state Of Tabasco there swims a
fish known as the crocodile fish"
which is most useful to man.
The skin Of the crocodile fish, If
properly cured. may be utilized for any
of the purposes for which the lighter
weights of leather are employed. The
oil of the crocodile fish is perfect lu-
bricant and also used for softening
leather. In addition to its qualities as
a lubricant and emolient, the oil pos
sesses medicinal qualities for which a
superiority to the finest of Norwegian
cod liver is claimed. The flesh Of the
crocodile fish is extensively used by
the natives as food and highly relished
by them as one of the delicacies of the
country. Crocodile fish range In length
from ten inches to four feet, and when
dried assume an ashen hue, with light
er shadings of a blush tint.-New Or

JERSEY DAIRY AF|RE,,
F|REMEN KEPT BUSY
BY SERIES OF BLAzES
Eighteen Milk Wagons Are
Damaged and Dozens of
Bottles Destroyed.

Firemen of Truck No. 4 saw the glow
and smoke Of a fire which demolished
the wagon shed of the Jersey dairy this
morning long before the alarm was
sent IN, and were wei Ion their way to
the blaze, which destroyed $1,000 worth
of equipment, before the first stroke OF
the fire bells sounded.
The blaze which visited the dairy's
wagon shed and store room in an alley
back of the building at 460 X street
northwest, was the most destructive of
a series of seven blazes to which the
engine companies of the District re-
sponded between O'Clock yesterday
afternoon and . o'clock this morning.
Milburn Gives Alarm.
The fire at the dairy, of which ]. J..
Bowles is proprietor, was discovered
about los a. m. A family named Mil
burn. who live at 463 X street, we're
awakened by the smoke. and w. L.
Milburn ran TO Seventh and X streets
and gave the alarm.
When Truck No. 4, which was al
ready on its way. without waiting for
the alarm, arrived, the two-story brick
building in the alley was a mass of
flames. 1t is thought that Goals dropped
from the furnace CRATE and set the
blaze.
A short time after. Engine Companies
6, II, !, and 2 arrived, and they soon
had five hose lines playing on the
flames.
Eighteen Wagons Damaged.
Although the fire was raging at the
time. the fremen were able to haul
from the burning building eighteen
wagons and their equipment, but not
hal don
hundred and fifty gross milk bottles
stored in the upper floor rooms were
totally lost.
To wake at 2:9O in the morning and
see flames pouring from their wardrobe
where most of their sartorlal posses
sions were hanging, is the experience of
Albert Myers and Joe Stein today. They
occupy the same room at the rooming
house of Mrs. Robinson, Third street
and Indiana avenue northwest.
When they saw the flames both young
men leaped out of bed, and with water
from the bathroom attempted to eXtin-
guish the blaze. They had to call the
engines, however, and before the fire
was put out they had lost $40 worth of
clothing. $27 in cash, and the room had
been damaged to the extent of $40.
