The senate was placed in a quandary
as to what program it would adopt in
further consideration of the three bills.
The regular Republicans were reported
to be favorable to a plan whereby they
would absent themselves from the

chance to pass the presidential veto.
The Republican insurgents however,
opposed this scheme and insisted that
the reconciliable difference be threshed

GAVE BATTLE TO POLICE.

The Vienna austria police were
held at bay for over two hours the
other day, by robbers in a drinking
saloon in densely populated quar-
ter of the city The presence of the
thieves, who were robbing the till,
was noticed at two o'clock in the
morning by the police, who sur
rounded the house and called on the
thieves to come out. They replied
with revolver shots, and the police
returned their fire, shooting into the
shop, which was in darkness. The
inhabitants of the quarter watched
the battle, which lasted until five
o'clock, when the breaking of day
light enabled the police to, rush the
saloon. The populace assisted the
police, attacking the thieves with
sticks. One member of the band,
terrified by the crowd, hid behind
barrel and shot himself dead.

Fox Terriers Covered With skin Of .
Poodle inside Which Contra
band ls Carried.

Some interesting information has
Just come to hand regarding the
competition at present going on be-
tween smugglers and revenue Off
Gals in the use of dogs on the land
frontiers of Austria. The smugglers
generally choose small, smooth
haired dogs, like fox terriers, as
their ASSISTANTS. They train them
by giving them a whipping on the
further side Of the frontier and then
drive them across it to the house of
an accomplice in an Austrian viii
lage, where they receive q good meal.
The dog naturally soon learns to run
as hard as he can. He is then COW
cred with the skin of a rough-haired
dog, usually a poodle, inside which
quantity of tobacco, saccharin,
lace or other valuable goods on
which there is a high duty is fast
ened in such a way that the enlarged
dog looks as natural as possible. The
revenue officials have found it very
difficult to shoot these canine con-
trabandists, so they now set dogs to
catch dogs. For this purpose they
train larger swift-running animals
with good noses, whose duty it is to
run down the smuggler's dogs, kill
them and then lead the officials to
the spot. They are also employed
to hunt out the smugglers them
selves in their hiding places, in the
caves of mountains or forests, and to
discover their caches.

cow IN DEPARTMENT. STORE
7ossy Ascends TWO Flights of Stairs
and Creates Panic Among
the Women.

A sensation was created a few
days ago in Norwich, N. D., when a
fine Holstein COW being driven
through the village bolted the herd
at the corner of Main and Broad
streets and entered large depart
ment store. Disdaining to stop on
the first floor, the animal assembled
the stairs, poked her head into the
law Office of the state tax commits
sioner, beloved plaintively, and pro-
ceeded on up the next fight of
stairs and into the cloak department
of the stire. The women clerks were
in Mysteries, and the proprietors of
the store were at their wits end. Eff
forts were made to get the COW into
the elevator and escort her to the
ground floor, but she wanted to go
still higher, and made for the stairs
leading to the floor above The own
er of the COW arrived opportunely,
and with a rope about the animals
neck and an assistant bringing up
the rear she was safely escorted to
the street.

THE WEDDING RING.

Why should the wedding ring be
placed on the third finger of the left
hand? The custom has existed for
ages and the reason therefor has
been given as follows:
Our ancestors found the left hand
more convenient for such ornaments
than the right, for the reason that it
is generally less employed than the
latter. For the same reason they
chose the third instead of another
finger. The third digit is not only
less used than the others, but is bet
ter adapted to guard a ring against
bruises, since that finger has this
quality peculiar to itself-it cannot
be extended but in company with
some other finger, whereas the rest
may be singly stretched to their full
length.-Harper's Weekly.

RARE "FIRST FOLIO" IS FOUND
Early Copy Of shakespeare's Play Ia
Brought to Light In Curious
Manner.

Another copy of the very rare
Hfrst folio" of Shakespeare's plays
has been brought to light in a
strange manner. A sixteen-year-old
son of well-known baronet was egg
ploring in the library of the earl of
Dudley, at Whitley court, recently,
when he came across a volume which
he recognized as an early edition of
the great dramatist's works. 1t had
been rebound, and one or two pages
were missing. At first the boys dis
covery was not regarded as any,
thing very special, but having seen
a first folio of Shakespeare in the
British museum, the young expert
insisted on the Importance of his
find, and eventually the book was
sent up to leading firm of book
dealers. They at once declared that
the volume was a genuine first folio
Imperfect as the new find is, it il
of considerable value. Only last
year a similar copy was sold at auc.
ton for s1,190.

plomy Elephant IN New York zooloo
lcal Park Has Most unfer-
iunate Accident.

In some unknown manner Congo,
the pigmy elephant in the New York
Geological park, lost eight inches Of
his tusks recently. The pieces were
found in his enclosure by one Of the
keepers when he went to feed Congo,
and it was seen that the tusks had
been cracked for some distance. The
authorities are at a loss to know
how the accident, but think Congo
got his tusks in between the bars Of
his cage and gave a sudden wrench
and snapped them off. cit was a
most unfortunate accident" said the
curator, "because, although only six
and half feet high, Congo had tusks
nearly sixteen inches long. He is
the only pigmy elephant in captivity,
and many persons would not believe
he was a pigmy pachyderm until he
had grown such big tusks. We have
wound tape around the ends Of the
tusks until brass knobs can be placed
on them to prevent further splitting.
1t must have taken a great strength
to snap the ivory tusks.

That: A piece of garden hose
makes an ideal carpet beaten.
While stout enough to dislodge the
dust, its aexibility prevents the wear
and tear given by the ordinary stick
or rattan beaten.
That: A few drops of paregoric
placed in a small basin of water will
attract and destroy all the ants on
the premises. Use a shallow basin
and you will be surprised at the
number your "ant trap" will catch.
That: Fewer buttons will be lost
or broken if you unbutton all cloth
ing before sending it to the laundry.
That: 1t pays to have the worn
edges Of large rugs bound with
leather-only rim shows on the
right side-and that leather keeps
the rug flat and outwears any other
binding.
That: To properly dust books, you
should take them by the half-dozen
from the shelf, hold them loosely on
a table, their front edges downward,
backs uppermost. Then with hand
at either side of the little pile
strike them smartly together a few
times. Now lay ON end, top edges
uppermost, and repeat the concus-
sion.
