That Obliging Boy

From Pearson's Weekly.
When Professor Vambery, the famous
Orientalist whose death occurred re-
Gently, arrived at Sandringham on a
visit. he received a message that Queen
Alexandra wanted to see him.
He decided to wash his hands first
so he went to his room and rang the
bell to ask for some hot water. No
one came, though he rang the bell re-
peatedly.
Then there came a knock at the door
and a youth entered. DO you want
anything, professor" he asked.
yes" replied the professor, II have
been ringing for some hot water"
wait a minute. and I'll get you
some" was the obliging reply. The boy
disappeared, returning in few minutes
with a large jug of hot water, which
he placed on the washstand. The pro-
fessor thanked him, and he withdrew.
After he had washed. the professor
descended to pay his respects to his
royal hostess, but after a few minutes
conversation he was surprised to see
his hot water" boy come up to the
group.
"Ah. professor" Queen Alexandra re-
marked. introducing the boy, this Is
my son!"
After that the professor nicknamcd

Sherlock Holmes work. On the first
night he was greeted with storm OF
Kisses and abuse which drove him from
the stage, says a Paris cable to the Lon
don Chronicle.
When he arrived on the stage again in
his travelling coat and proceeded TO take
1t off before addressing the public,
number of spectators started deafening
noise with cries of spy, Spy" Get
out!'' "Shut upl' "Do you need a penny
to leave the stage?"
Mr.. Quadratstein tried vainly to speak,
and his insistence aroused a violent tu-
multi. Spectators pelted him with to-
matoes apples. corks and pennies. while
all sorts of insults were shouted at him.
The manifestation lasted quarter OF an
hour, and finished only when Mr.. Quad
ratstein left the stage.

Finds New Indians

Albert Lang, whose is exploring the
sources of the Amazon, for the Brazilian
government, has informed f. N. Dellen-
baugh secretary of the Explorers club,
of the discovery of a new tribe of In
dams, 1000 from civilization, between the
headwaters of the Cs rary and Moiu riv-
ers. Mr. Lang gives a picturesque de-
scription of the savages, who. he says,
took him for god embracing his feet
to show their devotion. Their tools, he
writes ARE stone. and their ideas so un-
usual as to suggest their belonging TO
another age. The Jewish cast of their
features might lead one to infer that they
were of the lost tribes and not their ig-
norance of iron and writing argue against

New York. November 15-(Special) 1.-THE
seyel of quotations was lifted moderately
this week and revival of bullish senti-
ment was proclaimed. Activity was con-
centrated upon the old group of half
dozen favorites, reinforced by a handful
of specialties. By common consent Lon
don was given credit for leading the
buying, being moved thereto by the al
legged -subsidence of Mexican belligerency,
and also by the bright prospect OF cur
rency legislation during the life of the
special session of Congress-
The reasoning that resulted from the
unexpected allowance of s6oo0,0oo addi-

struction at the time OF his death a
brick block, which will prove one OF
the ornaments of Denison when com
pleted. He was always willing to DO
nate to charity and to any cause
worthy of support, and whenever II
became necessary to raise money for
Improvement or for any commendable
purpose Mr.. Mccarthy was always
willing to do his part. No man in the
community could be depended upon
to carry out his agreement better than
did the deceased and his word when
once given was as good as bond.
He held the respect of the business
men in the community, an evidence OF
which is seen in the fact that during
the time of the funeral this forenoon
the business houses in the city, with
out exception, were closed.

The Small Sheep Flock.

Sheep raising on a small scale is
almost universally profitable on al
most every farm, but when more than
small flock is kept quite a dlner'
ent proposition is involved, says Pro-
gressive Farmer. With small flock
no special pastures are required, and
they can be housed in buildings used
for the other stock without crowding
and require little feed and practically
no special attention. When larger
flock is kept two or more pastures
should be maintained, ample houses
for keeping dry without crowdins
provided and an abundance of suitable
feed supplied. We advise the begin
ner in this line of stock raising to
procure the best native ewes obtain
able in his locality and then buy a
pure bred ram and with this small
flock learn the business thoroughly
before attempting to raise sheep in
large numbers.
