CURRENT MISCELLANY.
i?'- . -
One of the secrets of the success of
; .Robert P. Porter, editor, tariff expert,
sujoerintendent of the United States
oensus of 1890 and recently United
. States diplomatie agent. In the West
In?Ues and afterward in Germany, is
kts wonderful rneinoiy for figures. He
V fairly revels in statistics. In his home
in New York there are several rooms
filled with volumes upon volumes of
: industrial statistics. Many of these
Mr. Porter eau readily Quote from
. memory. An illustration of this oc?
curred not long ago, says the Philadel
Sophia Saturday Vost. A Chicago niau
was boasting of the rapid growth of
Ms. city.
"We have 2,000,000 inhabitants now.
Ton gave us 1.100,000 in 1890." he said.
"Not as mv~*i as that." replied Mr.
Porter. "The exact figures were
1?)99,S50. Your school census of 1892
'gave 1,400,009." "
The conversation then turned upon
New. York city.
"You underestimated that also."
"Yes, we gave New York 1,515,301,
?id the state census of 1892 gave
"Where do you carry all these fig
tires?" asked the Chicago man.
"I believe I can repeat from memory
the t>est part of the important ti gm res
te my census," returned Mr. Porter.
/ "Can you tell me how many negroes
there were in this country In 1890?"
asked the westerner with an air of tri?
umph.
"There were 7,470,040," repeated the
statistician without a second's hesita?
tion. "And there were 107.475 Chi?
nese,"
The visitor took down the census re?
port from the bookshelf and found
that Mr. Porter had not made a single
mistake.
A Rattlesnake Eater.
Moses Henderson is a sable son of
' Africa and lives two miles from Amer?
icas In a rocky field where rattlesnakes
are-most plentiful, says the Savannah
Kews- Moses makes a living by cap?
turing snakes and selling them. When?
ever he cannot sell them he eats them.
This is the truth, strange as it may
seem. He recently killed a large one
with ll rattles on it.' This was a fat
snake, and Moses ate it. The other
day he brought a very large snake to
Savannah, trying to sell its hide. There
were 23 rattles on it. The snake was
Tery poor, and Moses said it would not
do to eat. and he stuffed its hide and
sold it for a good price. Every year
Moses makes a great deal of money
selling snake ciL He says right down
the vertebrae of a rattlesnake is a fat?
ty streak of llesh that makes in oil,
"when fried, that will cure any case of
rheumatism. It is strange to how
inany people he sells this rheumatic j
snake oiL He has a long list of certifi- j
cates from people he has cured. Some
of them are from intelligent whites,
who declare that the oil has cured
them when all other remedies have
failed. He sells a vial of the oil for
$1 and guarantees a lasting cure.
Moses says his father was an African
hoodoo doctor and taught him how to
cure ail aches and pains with snake j
oil. The negroes cf Sumter county j
venerate and fear him as a mysterious j
doctor who can cure when all else j
fails and look upon Iiis snake oil as i
something enchanted. j
A R?ES With a History.
A linc: with a history has just been i
Landed over to the Numismatic mu?
seum of Paris by a Polish, gentleman,
who purchased it for a small sum re?
cently in Warsaw. Shortly after he
formed the acquaintance of the lady
who was afterward Marquise de Pom- j
padour. Louis XV presented her with j
an intaglio ring representing his own ?
apotheosis- It was pronounced at that
time to be a marvelous work of art,
equaling anything of the sort produc?
ed in ancient Greece or Rome, says the
Xiondon Chronicle. Round the edge was
an elaborate inscription. One day Mme.
de Pompadour, to her distress, lost this
precious ring, which has now reappear?
ed after nearly 150 years' peregrina?
tion. If rings could speak, this one
doubtless could tell a curious tale.
Shooting at a Balloon.
At Meudon. near Paris, a captive bal- !
loon was recently allowed to rise to a i
height cf 150 meters and then shot at j
with a I^ebel rifle. Most cf the shots I
passed through the lower half of the !
balloon, and some pierced the upper j
half. The effect on the ballon was j
hardly perceptible, as six hours elapsed '
before, in a very gentle descent it j
reached the earth, it is evident that !
the light gas did not escape through j
tbe holes made in the lower part of i
toe balloon, and to make holes effect- ?
ively in the upper half would require J
a gun of greater caliber and firing per-1
haps shrapnel. It would not how-1
.ver. tie an easy matter to hit with shot j
from a large gun a balloon traveling at ?
a considerable distance from the !
ground.-London Times.
Klondike Hospitality.
The following extract was taken
from a letter in the Kansas City Jour- I
nal: *'We were entertained at dinner ;
one Sunday by a gentleman, and he J
had his cabin as cozy a? a woman's. ;
He didn't have a tablecloth, but serv- .
ed his dinner in courses and washed
the dishes .?etween. He had ?vapor?t- !
ed vegetable soup, broiled steak, evap- '
orated potatoes and macaroni, canned
raspberries and spice cake which he j
made himself, and coffee. I enjoyed
it, as It was nicely cooked and served."

.'I hope." said the pastor and cor.?- ;
deutial friend of the family, "you and
Mrs. Meeker have adjusted your diffi?
culties and are living in peace and con?
cord with each other again." I
"Well," answered Mr. Meeker hesi- ?
tatingly, "we are not exactly on the j
old footing as yet but-but we have j
established a, modus vivendi."-CM- j
SHORT MEWS STORIES.
Rear Admiral Watson Didn't Swear,
but He Thought It-The Don?
key Was a Radical.
Unlike the popular conception of
most naval officers. Rear Admiral John
G. Watson, who has been assigned to
the command of tLe Asiatic squadron
in succession to Admiral Dewey, ii,
very religious. He is au ardent Pres?
byterian, a deacon in that church and
an enthusiastic worker in the ranks of
the laymen, says the San Francisco
News Letter. When his naval title
was only that of commander, he was
stationed at San Francisco for several
years and was superintendent of the
Sunday school in connection with St
John's church, founded by the Kev.
Dr. Scott and maintained by -iie south?
ern set in memory of the founder.
Of course, such a religious man is
free from the common nautical vice of
profanity, but sometimes things go
wrong evea on the ship of a devout
Christian. Admiral Watson was very
disappointed when the orders for him
to sail for Spain and destroy Camara's
fleet were countermanded.
"Didn't you swear, admiral?" anx?
iously inquired a sympathetic friend,
who had been reading Dewey's famous
remarks on the bridge of the Olympia
during the battle of Manila.
"No," answered the candid soldier
deacon, "not so that you could hear it
But I thought swear as loud as I could
-holier!"
General Fitz-Hugrh Lree's Class Ring:.
An interesting relic in the shape of a
ring once worn by General Fitz-Hugb
Lee recently came Into the possession
of W. B. Odbert a Wheeling jeweler.
Walter Boulde and his family came to
Wheeling from Huntington, W. Va.,
about two months ago, and a few days
ago the head of the family informed
Mr. Odbert that he had a large ring
te desired to sell for its gold value,
says the New York Sun. When the
ring was delivered, the jeweler could
hardly believe his eyes, for it was in?
scribed "Fitz-HughLee, 1S5G." The set?
ting had been lost many years ago. and
the intrinsic value of the gold was $0.
This sum was paid Boulde, and he gave
the jeweler a fragmentary history of
the ring. He said the relic was the j
class ring of the well known Virginian.
On one side it bears in deep cut figures
a Templar's coat of arms and hood and
on the reverse crossed swords and
axes.
The Donkey Was a Radical.
.A story-unearthed from nobody
knows where-is being circulated con?
cerning the last election of Lord Charles
Beresford to the house of commons. I
He . had just returned from York j
City. While the votes were being i
polled a eostermonger- arrived on j
"IT'S WY DONKEY THAT'S A RADICAL."
the scene to record his vote. His
donkey was decked out in sumptuous
green ribbons, the emblems of Beres?
ford's opponeut.
The voter, on being asked the cus?
tomary question, answered shortly, "I
go for Lord Charley, Lord bless him."
Thereupon the members of the oppos?
ing faction made a dash for tbe good
man to convince him that, according to
the emblems he carried, he must cast
his vote for their candidate. Thus chal?
lenged, he replied: "Oh, it'? all right
I'm a Tory; it's my donkey that's a
Radical, but he's an assl"
The hull of the oldest steam vesse'
on the Pacific coast and the second tug?
boat built in the United States wert
made a bonfire of on the West Seattle
beach to the delight of a large number
of excursionists. The vessel was the
Goliab. built in New York in 1S4S by
W. H. Webb.
The most curious place in the world
is the Alhambra. Spain. It was orig?
in* ily a fortress, so great in extent as
io be capable of holding 40.000 men.
It was begun in 124S and finished in
1314. It contains numerous halls and
courts, all decorated in the highest
style of Moorish art.
The famous stepping stones at Bolton
abbey, England, are picturesque: but
like those of other rural and romantic
streams, they have been the cause of
endless Inconveniences and not a few
ugly mishaps. The Duke or" Devon?
shire has recently erected a footbridge ;
over the river just below the stepping
stones.
Proportionately there is no great city
in th" civilized norh! that t:as so few
morning papers as London. This is
rbie to t!;?' large expenditure involved
in starting a paper in the metropolis.
Any one contemplating this must be
prepared to lose many thousands of
pounds a year for two or three years I
and then perhaps to fail.
A London capitalist has offered to
construct at Southend a huge sea wall
at a cost of $3.000.000 and asks in re?
turn permission to use the tidal force
for working a generating plant to sup?
ply London with electricity. < Ile guar?
antees there shall never be lesa than
8& feet of water on the beach-In fact,

DEMOLISHED BY DYNAMITE.
j _
I How China's Great Wal! Will Bc
Used to Build 3i od er ii Cities.
It took 2,000.000 men working for
! ten years to build Hie great wall of
China.
Even then many parts of the wall
were already there for the men to link
j together. The earlier . sections were
built 3.322 years before the birth of
Christ. The final wall was completed
in 204 B. C.
Now. more than 2.000 years later, thet
wall is to be blown up by dynamite to
suit the modern idea of progress. It
will be destroyed in a twinkling. It
was built iu 30 centuries.
An interesting and striking object
lesson in China's whimsical transition
In a few years from superstitious stag?
nation to practical advancement is fur-*
nished in the proposition to blow the
j old wall into ruins. The proposition
emanates from the new ruler of China,
the dowager empress. She is a re?
markable old woman, this dowager
empress, to have been evolved by a
country like China. The wall has been
the pride of the Mongolians ail their
Uvea. They have been reared on it
from childhood. It has been a part
of their religion. Up to two years ago
the bare Idea of removing it would
have stricken the little yellow people
dumb with indignant horror. Even
now had the suggestion come from a
foreigner they probably would have
cried out for the white devil's blood
and called upon the empress to banish
all unbelieving dogs from the wall's
protection. But it came from the great
empress herself, who could cut off the
heads of a thousand or two of the poor
little chaps if they dared to raise so
much as their eyes in dissent, and so
the beloved wall must come down,
with all its precious traditions and
sacred charms clinging around it.
It will be like pulling the old empire
out by the roots and building a new
empire of things on the ruins.-San
Francisco Examiner.
World's tartest Grapevine.
La Para Grande, the biggest grape?
vine in the world, has reached the end
Cf '.s-g outdoor life and will soon
I cut down. Seventy-five years it
'. s been growing on a ranch in the
Montecito valley, near Santa Barbara.
Cal., but it has shown signs of dying,
and so the owner, Albert Magee, the
Pittsburg stove manufacturer, has or?
dered it removed. . From the pride of
the California vineyards the vine will
be turned into a museum curiosity.
The Santa Barbara Chamber of Com?
merce will preserve it as a specimen
of what Hie soil of Santa Barbara
county is able to produce. La Para
Grande has a trunk, or main stem. 3-/i
feet in circumference, and the trellis,
higher than a man's head, on which the
spreading branches of the vine are sup- ?
ported, measures nearly six feet in I
each direction. In its primo this single
vine produced full four tons of-grapes
in a single year. Those days of its ?
glory arc. however, long past.-Sr. j

TTVO Kapid Readers.
Perhaps the fastest reader the world j
ever knew was Gladstone. Ile could !
"read and digest a novel of 50.000 !
words, a scientific work as large or j
larger, a polities! treatise or a history
by mereiy glancing at the leaves as he i
turned them over. His eye and mind j
seemed to photograph with the rapidi?
ty of an instantaneous camera. His
eye was the lens, his mind the sensi?
tive plate. In his reading he was om?
nivorous to the last degree.
The most rapid reader we ever had
in this country is John G. Carlisle, for?
mer senator from Kentucky, speaker
of the house and secretary of the treas?
ury. Joe Blackburn says that Carlisle
is the most remarkable man he ever
saw; that he can tell the contents of a
book without looking at it and give the
synopsis of an argument on being told
the name of the author.-New York
Press.
The Educated Thief.
'The testimony against you,'* said
the police justice, "is clear and con?
clusive. You spend your time commit?
ting petty thefts."
"Yes, your honor," responded the
prisoner, venturing to wink at the
court "I am an embodied protest
against the existing condition of things.
I am a round robin, your honor."
But his honor was equal to the emer?
gency.
"For the next GO days, anyhow," he
said, frowning at the prisoner, "you
won't be around robbin. You'll be a jail
bird. Call the next case!"-Chicago
Tribune.

A CHICAGO ART STORY.
Tho number of artists m Chicago
j was increased recently by the arrival
j of one from a distant city who during
j his leisure moments strolled about the
! down town streets seeing the sights.
I Passing a store where a number of
j paintings were displayed in the win
I dows, he step^ M inside to look about.
! Standing before a landscape about. IO
j by 14 inches in size. lu.- assumed the
? manner of an admirer of art and
j awaited the approach of the proprietor.
? The latter advanced, smiling and
' rubbing his hands. Ile greeted the i
I visitor cordially and said:
"You are au admirer of paintings, I ?
! ?, *
j see.
"Yes, to some extent," was the reply.
"That is a pretty bit of scenery," tia
dealer returned, "that you are looking
at there, that little clump of green
trees and the red house. It has a
charming atmosphere about it. Don't
you think? With the frame, just as it
is, we are asking only $15 for it That
over there is a companion piece, same
size, same frame. Now, if you would
like to buy the pair," he continued, be?
coming very earnest, "we could let you
have them for-let me see. Take them
along for $25."
"Well, it's evidently a fair price, but
the fact is I don't want to buy. 1 am
a painter myself."
"Oh, you are an artist!" smilingly re?
marked the dealer. "Well, perhaps
you would like to do some painting for
? us?"
"Oh, I don't know; perhaps so. But
what do you pay for a canvas like
that?" Indicating the small picture un?
der discussion.
"Well," replied the dealer, becoming
confidential and stepping up close to
his caller, "that is a cheap painting,
and if you can paint them fast you can
make good money."
"Well, what do you pay?" asked the |
artist impatiently.
"For that size we are paying
cents."
Sothern and Lanrn Keene.
While in New York and before he
had made any hit the elder Sothern
had a dispute with Laura Keene con?
cerning some trivial affair at a re?
hearsal, and Miss Keene went Into one
of her tantrums. After the quarrel on
the stage she retired to her dressing
room and, still angry, sent for Sothern
and began to rate him fiercely.
"Stop, Laura-stop just a minute!"
Interrupted the comedian and advanc?
ing to the light deliberately turned It
down.
"What do you mean by that, sir?"
she demanded in a rage.
"Oh. nothing." replied Sothern, "but
you have always been so lovely to me
that I can't bear to look upon your
beautiful face when you are in a pas?
sion. Now. go on."-San Francisco
Argonaut
Paid 15 Cent? to Hug: Hi? Wife.
The maddest man in Platte county
lives at Humphreys. He attended a
social, and during the evening the
ladies inaugurated a hagging bee, the
proceeds to go to the Sunday school.
Prices were graded according to the
person hugged. For instance, for hug?
ging a young, inexperienced girl the
bidder had to give up ten cents, mar?
ried women brought IT) cents and
widows a quarter. Well, the man was
blindfolded and. giving up 15 c?nts,
he said he would take a married
woman. After he had hugged 15 cents'
worth the bandage was removed from
his eyes.amh lo and' behold.he had been
hugging uis own -wife: Then he kicked
and wanted his 15 cents back.-Colum
bus (Neb.) Times.
Pleasant For Constant.
Mrs. Chinner-Ernestine, my darling,

me.
Ernestine-And if he doesn't ask rae?
Mrs. Chinner-Tell him I'm coming
to speak to him.-Tit-Bits.
