"There are devices practiced in the far west," observed an Omaha Haan re? cently, "folr%iaking money--devices that appeal to tbe enterprising and ing?nions citizen, and that are by a longway more ing?nions than commendable.

"He then put his father-in-law in the way of stealing sheep that had wandered from neighboring ranches, claiming that they were 'commnristic property.' Both were arrested, as the 'business' man knew and intended they should be. The latter then turned state's evidence and was set free. "Thai was part of his well formulated scheme.

The case on which this point was raised is that of a female cigar dealer who sold her store to a man, but refused to give up the xyloid aborigine which she tad used as a sign, saying that she would die before she would part with it.

Chetlain, who was for four years consul general to Belgium. Mrs. Chetlain is an easters woman. She was born at Low? ell, Mass., and lived there long enough to remember it as the home of her child? hood. After her marriage to General Chetlain and her long residence abroad Mrs. Chetlain settled in Chicago, where abe is now one of the leading women in all matters social and educational.

Mte Ch?tiais bald tho office of postmistress for a long time and only gav? it up when compelled thereto by family duties.-Exchange. She Kissed the Negro. In "Old Vienna," one of the most at? tractive features of Midway plaisance, a strange incident was noticed. A native of Abyssinia had entered the restaurant and was seated at one of the tables. He was tall and well formed. His hair fell in ringlets upon his shoulders. He was young and handsome, but black as night. Presently a pretty little Viennese wait? ing maid tlipped up to where he sat, reached down and gave him a rousing kiss. There was great laughter all | around, and the handsome darky also laughed, for he enjoyed the jokefully. j It seems that the waiting maid had been challenged by a party of American visit? ors to kiss the swarthy stranger. She accepted the challenge and won $2 thereby. No woman who had lived any length J of time in this country would have done | that tiling. The Viennese girl seemed to [ have no suspicion of any indelicacy in I the act, and the fact that the victim to ! her pleasantry was a negro gave the ad- j venture, in her opinion, all the more I spice. Noone who goes to Europe from this country can fail to be startled by the , seemingly special favor in which the ne? gro is held abroad. We do not wonder that the negro likes life in England, Ger? many and France. We are not surprised to read in the dispatches that negri jockeys are offering their services free, provided English turfmen will pay their transportation to England and board them while there. In Europe the negro is petted. He enjoys privileges hardly accorded to Caucasian visitors. And I womankind there simply dotes upon him.-Chicago Record. A Stranger In the Land. The refusal of the house of commons to adjourn over Derby day recalled a story related of one of the Roman Cath? olic peers who took their seats some four or five years before the passage of the first reform bill after an exclusion of a century and a half. He gave notice that on a certain day he would make a c er? tain motion, whereupon there arose from his noble colleagues a general cry of "Derby !" The astonished novice named another day, only to be greeted with an equally unanimous expostulation of "Oaksf At this he explained that he would have to ask the forgiveness of their lordships, but having been educat? ed abroad he was forced to acknowledge that he was not familiar with the list of saints' days in the Anglican calendar. San Francisco Argonaut. Typewriting by Wire. The telotype, or electrical typewriter, has been designed to meet the require? ments of a rapid and reliable printing telegraph instrument, which has long been needed. This instrument is ma? nipulated very much in the same way as a typewriter. The transmitter as well as the receiver makes a copy of the mes? sage, and the liability of mistakes is thus largely decreased. The instruments work in unison, and it is impossible to send a message from one machine unless the corresponding machine at the end of the distant line is properly receiving. The record is plainly printed on the strip of moving paper in front of the operator. The same instrument can send and re? ceive.-New York Telegram. Dainty Handiwork. A marvelous curiosity was a set of 1,000 ivory dishes which were said to have been purchased by one Shad from the maker, Oswald Northingerns, and exhibited before Pope Paul VI. These dainty turnings, though perfect in every respect, were scarcely visible to the naked eye and could be easily inclosed in a casket the size of a peppercorn. A Jesuit father, Ferrarius, made 25 wooden cannon capable of being packed away in the same space.-Boston Common? wealth. The G. A. R. Takes the Indiana Statehouse. Arrangements have been made by which the national headquarters for the transaction of business and all the de? partment business headquarters of the G. A. R. at thetwenty-seventh national encampment at Ic^'inapolis in Septem? ber next will be under one roof. This is aa innovation that has already received the highest commendation from the na? tional and department officers. The building in which the headquarters will be located is the Indiana statehouse, a larga structure cf stone and marble, sur? rounded by 10 acres of ground and situ? ated in the heart of Indianapolis. The building is handsome architecturally and well adapted to the purpose. The rooms are large. The corridors extend through the building in each direction and are ample and fully lighted, and four broad stairways, in addition to the elevators, give access to the upper floors. The hospitality means that the official business of the state will be dropped during the encampment week and the building given up wholly to the veter? ans._ The Exeeea of Daintiness. It is becoming more than ever a popu? lar fad that every woman shall have her particular flower and perfume, and the newest scents possess the most subtle fragrance. It is said that, like the thirst for alcohol, the love for perfume grows so quickly when once the habit is devel? oped that even a sojourn at the Keeley institute is of no avail, and its unfortu? nate victims are led to most boundless limits. One fair lady whose tastes are ac? knowledged to be the extreme of culture fosrees her maid to take four or five baths a day scented with her favorite perfume (the mistress', not the maid's, favorite perfume), so that she may al? ways have in her rooms and about her the faint intoxicating odor which is ab? solutely essential to her happiness. Ru? mor does not state whether the maid's wages are increased or whether she ?6 paid so much for each bath. This forc? ing one's maid to bathe so expensively wfll add a new source of outlay for mi? lady's exchequer, but if once the fashion is set it will surely have many follow? ers.-Vogue. Tribute* to an Artist. Miss Ellen Terry is among the most enthusiastic of Eleanora Duse's many admirers in this country, and ehe is re? ported to have said with her usual gen? erous appreciation, **I feel like a child in acting when I see this great artist." One of the highest compliments that was paid to the signora's inimitable art was not intended as a compliment by the speaker. One night when the curtain fell upon her fine and absolutely natural impersonation of the peasant woman in "Cavalleria Rusticana," ? lady in one of the boxes remarked to her companions: "Do you call that acting? Why, any one could do that."-London Pictorial. How She Made a Sensation. Two sweet, ethereal looking girls with a Boston inflection and pronuncia? tion were talking together in the street car. "Are you going to the World's fair?" drawled one. "I want to," was the measured answer in a voice like liquid honey, "but I'm afraid I'll have a chance to let my whiskers grow before I get there." Every mouth opened wide, and every eye stared stupidly at her pretty face. She sat serenely uncon? scious of the sensation she had pro? duced.-Philadelphia Press. SORRY FOR HER HUSBAND. Comment? of a Fashionable Bride ou Her Wedding Presents. s Some very amusing stories are circu i lating in regard to a recent fashionable j wedding, lt seems that even the very I many pretty presents the bride received were scarcely such as met her require? ments. The gifts were numerous enough to ple?se any young woman, even were she a princess and had a rent roll as lang as the Duke of Veragua's titles. But the young American was not satisfied and expressed her dissatisfaction in unmis? takable teims. The gifts that came in from the groom's connections were many of them so unsatisfactory as to be exchanged for others larger and handsomer. One of the bride's relatives presented her with a handsome piece of plate which she her? self ordered and insisted should be made in a particular pattern. "But, madam. Mrs. A-has just been in and ordered you such a piece," the jeweler protested. I "Mrs. A-can order me something i else. I don't like her patterns anyway." The next morning Mrs. A-received a note from the bride elect asking her to i countermand her order. Another friend, not particularly rich in this world's goods, but of an old and prominent family, wishing to rememb e her purchased a very dainty piece of Bohemian glass and carried it ont to present herself. During her visit a gift came for the bride. Opening it the package was found to contain a small piece of Bohemian glass, easily worth $50. It was covered with gold leaves in raised work and set with small diamonds. "Well, what do they expect me to do with that? The idea of sending me such a thing. I might use it for a pinbox." The young woman with the less hand? some Bohemian glass felt her heart sink within her. She said nothing to the fas? tidious bride, but carried it home and sent instead a beautiful picture ?osting a great deal more money. She has yet received no acknowledgment of her gift. Another lady of the east end who sent a $25 silver strainer, had her gift com? mented on thus: "I consider Miss X-'s tea strainer a personal insult." The scoring has been sb general that no one is feeling particularly badly about it. In fact it is forming quite an amus? ing topic in society. The conversation usually opens thus: "Oh, have you heard of the perfectly dreadful way Miss L- has been talk? ing about her presents?" "Yes. Isn't it too funny for anything?" -Pittsburg Chronicle. A Literary Feller. Hamlin Garland, whose stories of west? ern farm life are in demand, was at one time a farmhand himself, but burning the midnight oil after the day's work was done brought its reward. On a recent visit to Kansas he found, to his -surprise, that his genius was not exactly appreci? ated in his old home, and that some of the subjects of his tales thought his realism a little misplaced. A veteran of 50 "hayings" and of many cyclones, wi o met him on the road one day, after tak? ing a fresh chew of tobacco and -viewing him from head to foot as if he were the vanishing lady in a museum to ?ee if he were genuine, proceeded to vent his opinion. "So you're the chap tliat write them stories. Waal, a 6trappin 3*oung feller like you oughter be in better busi? ness." "Perhaps you don't like them," suggested Garland. "Like 'em. Yaas. They run along as smooth as 'greased lightnin.' Can't help readin 'em." At this point the grizzled old fellow reached out his hand to Garland, who shook it cordially. "Thar,.thank ye. Now I kin say I've shook hands with the slickest liar in Ameriky." And the old man shouldered his pitchfork and started down the road.-?St. Louis Globe-Demo? crat. Little People on the Farm. It pays to hire our little boys and girls to help manage the farm. There are many things they can easily do that are a great help to us. They can be inter? ested in farm life and work if rightly en? couraged. My little boys, aged 4 and 5 ye^ars, are up before 5 o'clock in the morning and want to "do something" all day long. I frequently hire them to help for a few cents at a time and pay them "on demand" when the work is well done. They take pains and enjoy being on the farm. We require them to go to bed and take a nap every i "y after dinner. .They each have a small safe with a combination lock, in which their money is kept. Sometimes they send to the store for some candy or nuts or pen? cil and paper. They understand what money is for, and I hope will make good use of it. When they are a little older, we shall take them into partnership and give them a chance to "do something all our own selves."-Cor. Country Gentle? man. Fatiguing Pictures. Students of the comic papers are be? coming a little tired of certain of their humors. Most tiresome of all, because most meaningless and prevalent, is the picture of two young women making sarcastic remarks to each other. There is nothing in these remarks that asks pictorial enhancement. The women might just at well be offering questions in political economy or cooking for all the pictures discover. This practice of putting the figures of two women above every reprint of the conundrum, "When is a door not a door? When it's ajar," originated with Punch, but then Punch at least tries to get a little variety in the costumes and accessories and is some? times so original that it will actually represent this brilliant talk occurring on horseback. The dialogic women would best leave the comic papers and go into the fashion and society weeklies. Brooklyn Eagle. A Long Time. "I have been on this road 20 years, and know what I am talking about," said the I. C. and D. R. railway guard to the pas? senger who complained of slow time. "Twenty years! What station did you get on at?*' gasped the passenger. Boston Herald. Major Swift of the Salvation Army. Major Susie F. Swift, one of the most brilliant women of the Salvation Army, is in Boston. Nine years ago she was a Vassar col? lege girl, when she decided to join the ranks of the Salvationists with two col? lege companions. Today Miss Swift is thc only American born and bred woman who holds the rank of major in that re? ligious army. She is best known by her comrades in the work through her ability" in editing the magazine entitled All the World, which informs civilization of the princi? ples and progress of the Salvation Army. For this work she seems to have been ad? mirably fitted by the training she received during her two years as junior and one year as senior editor of The Vassar Mis? cellany, the college journal. In every sense of the word Miss Swift is a literary woman as well as a religious leader. She resides with her fellow editor, Staff Captain Douglass, in the suburbs of London, when not traveling, and re? ports for The English Cry at home and abroad. Her writings have been fre? quently reviewed by the English press. In appearance Major Swift looks intel? ligent and refined. She is credited with being a good and effective extemporane? ous talker.-Boston Herald. SNAKE CHARMING. A Talk About the Art and Its Dangers by a Professional. "Snake charming has become a com? mon thing nowadays," said a professional Bnake handle.* the other day after read? ing the account of "Dot" Son well's mis? hap, "and the danger about the work is just sufficient to attract some people. Yes, there is always danger unless the poisonous fangs are extracted. It is al? most impossible to charm, or rather drug, some s]>ecies of snakes so that they can always be depended upon. They are a treacherous set, and more so when they have the poisonous fangs in their mouths. They know right away when these fangs have l>een extracted. They seem to lose their pride and ferocity, and they will try to sneak away rather than to offer defiance. I have known the fiercest dia? mond back ever brought from Florida to cool down as tame as a lamb when its poison fang was taken out. Most of the snakes handled by charmers on the stage are harmless so far as poisoning any one is concerned. It should be a crime, too, to let those with the fangs in be exhibited. "What are the secrets of snake charm? ing? Oh, well, they are simple-simpler than most people imagine. In the first place, the snake to be handled is gorged with food so that it is sleepy and drowsy. Then it is drugged so that its senses are dazed and quiet. Sometimes they are placed in boxes containing ice, and the cold puts them into a semitorpid condi? tion. In either case the snake is very gentle and only half in possession of his senses. Then the snake charmer uses certain motions in handling the reptile, md by dint of dexterity and strength the snaKe is easily passed from hand to hand and allowed to coil its slimy length ovrr arms, legs and body. "The exhibitor, however, must be con? stantly on the alert. When the snake becomes too lively, it is time to replace it in the box. The hand must always grasp it at certain places, where the head can be guided and held from the body. This is the hardest thing the charmer has to learn, but it comes with practice. If handling a reptile with the poisonous fangs in, one must be strong and in perfect health. Any nervousness or temerity might cost him his life. Thc1 grasp and movements must be precise and accurate. There is no room for hes? itancy or uncertainty, and the strain on one's system during the performance is great. The charmer is really toying with death-and death in one of its most horrible forms."-Philadelphia Times. The White House Carpets. If any ocular proof of the persistence of office seekers is needed, it exists in the White House carpets. They look as if they could never be made to smile again. The one on thc stairs leading to the office best shows what the impatient feet of the 99,000 would be government employees have accomplished. It is a heavy axminster, held in place by long nails with big steel heads instead of stair rails. The nail is fully 3 inches long, but since the rush there is a decided scarcity of the shining heads, and the tread of the office seeker has pulled out even these great spikes, and a couple of dozen of them have lx>en picked up and put away. The carpet looks as if a reg? iment of giants had l>een executing a double shuffle on the stairs for the last month. Any extra demand for stair carpet at the White House ought to be granted without" demur by the congress? men who have brought the office seekers along and helped add to the wear and tear.-Kate Field's Washington. When Gambetta Fought. For Parisian duelists the near seclu? sion of the Bois de Boulogne, just with? out the city's gates, affords all the ac comodations desired, and here some cur? ious scenes have been enacted. Thus, for example, when the great Gambetta went out with M. de Fourton, extraordi? nary precautions were taken to prevent the infliction of any injuries. The for? mer liad only cine eye, the latter being very nearly blind. A densely foggy day was chosen, short barreled, smooth bore pistols were supplied, and the combat? ants were placed 40 paces apart-well out of each other's sight. At a given signal shots were exchanged, but no one, not even a second, was hurt.-London Tit Bits. On the Santa Maria. Don Alonzo Penzon-And your father was a wool comber, Christopher? Christopher Columbus-Yes, and my mother was also a wool comber, Don Alonzo. Don Alonzo Penzon-Indeed? I never heard that. Christopher Columbus-Yes, she fre? quently combed my father's wool. And because Don Alonzo did not laugh a coolness sprang up l>etween these two distinguished mariners which lasted until a sudden lurch of the cara? vel threw them once more into each other's arms.-Brooklyn Life. Diamond Workers. The diamond output of the Cape Colo? ny mines last year was estimated at $20,000,000. The natives do most of the work, about 10 of them being employed to one white man. They have to be watched and guarded like convicts, for they will steal like kleptomaniacs. They will swallow the stones and do tricks that would astonish a magician. They get good pay, however, but are watched every minute. Should one be found try? ing to steal into forbidden ground he would be shot instantly. The mines are guarded all the time.-New York Even? ing Sun. Nilsson at the Vlay. Not the least interested spectator of Mounet Sully's Hamlet and Mile. Beicb emberg's Ophelia at Drury Lane was Mme. Christine Nilsson, whose perform? ance in Ambroise Thomas' opera, found? ed on Shakespeare's play, was one of the greatest things of its kind ever seen on the stage. The great Swedish singer, who like Mme. Patti, has discovered the secret of perpetual youth and dignity, sat side by 6ide with another operatic Ophelia, al?o a Swede-the delightfully pretty Sigrid Arnoldson.-London Star. A Valuable Stuffed Cat. This story is told of ?a gentleman whose taste inclined him to haunt "old curi? osity" shops, where he picked up many antiqne and in some instances valuable articles for what is termed a "mero song." One day he purchased a stuffed cat, a large, beautiful, black Persian, heavy and sleek coated as in life. It had belonged, he was told, to an old miser, who must have loved his deceased cat or he would not have gone to the ex? pense of having it stuffed. The gentle? man examined his new purchase and discovered that one of its eyes was loose. Pursuing his investigations further, he removed the artificial eye, and from the interior turned ont some hundred sover? eigns, each wrapped up separately in wool and tissue paper.-Exchange. Return of the Orkney Mermaid. News has reached Kirkwall that the "mermaid" has again made her appear? ance at Deernes8, Orkney. The creature has arrived at the same place now many years in succession, where it remains all summer, disappearing in the winter and returning again with fine weather. Last year a large sum of money was offered for its capture, and sportsmen tried to kill it. As it struck out to sea immedi? ately it was fired at and was never again seen till now, it was thought it j had been wounded or killed. Natural- j ists who have got a full description of j the "mermaid" think it is an ocean seal, ; but the people of Deerness, who have watched it closely for years, say it has j few if any of the seal's habits, and main tain it swims like a human being. At the present time it may be observed i daily, being very partial to bright sim Birnie, but it rarely appears on dull days, j -Scotsman. "World'* Fair Finances. There are a good many interesting | items of expenditure in the conduct of '? the World's fair. To install the vast ! array of exhibits has cost $248,767, and | the railway tracks in and about the grounds $402,237. There was a good deal of ice and snow last winter, and to \ sweep it off the roofs involved an ex- i penditure of $15,105. Of course where there are so many offirals there must be , badges, and $3,381 has been disposed of in their purchase. The Exposition Syni- J phony orchestra has cost an outlay of j $55,820. Early in the year it was thought advisable to have a corps of guides. The organization of this corps, ; which had to be disbanded, cost $4,153. | Janitors individually are not so ex? pensive, bnt the service for the exposi? tion company thus far has caused an outlay of $123,648. But the janitors are not a marker to the police protection af? forded by the Columbian guards. This corps of guardians of the peace has cost $555,233. Then there is the secret serv? ice under Captain Bonfield, which has been maintained up to date at an expend? iture of $40,118. The fire apparatus and firemen have cost $187,200. The medical and surgical attendance is not an inconsiderable item, for Auditor Ack? erman puts it down at $22,771. The lawyers have dipped into the exposition Docketbook for $38.953. There "Will be no General Increase.

And when they did come, before we had* an opportunity of assorting and marking them, several dozen were picked out. We would therefore advise friends who wish a CHOICE FUR HAT, either soft or stiff in any sh apa AT Off B DOLLAR, To call early and make their selections, as they are going very rapidly.
