V1 i staying at St. Petersburg for ChrifMiiiw. some Enlbh frit-nds of the yonti singer, thinking to please her and re pardless of tho eflectd on her voice. pjnt her a monster jdum pudding as a sur prie. Imagine her amazement and trepidation when it was announced in every morning paper that a largu box. supposed to contain an infernal iua chuM, directed to the young singer. !i;k1 been dejHjsited at the nearest police sta tion. A letter reached her from an authority there are many authors about in St. Peterbburg informing l.er that tho police were chary of opening the box, fearing it might be dangerous to their lives, but did she know of any one valiant enough to attempt the dued. the box should bo hers. Her impresario undertook to die in the attempt, and on arriving at the police station for that express purpose .as somewhat relieved to find the hugo pack age reposing tpiietly enough in a tank of water. Now came the moment for the untying of the Gordian knot, and tlieve reposed, wrapped in linen within an earth enware bowl, the pudding dearest to the heart of Englishmen on the 25th of De cember as every year comes around. The police still refused to be (satisfied, and insisted that the terrible thing might shroud a mysterious bomb. After a Vast amount of probing and pronging, the pudding rvas at length conveyed to its destination, and both it and the joke were heartily enjoyed by the Nikita party. Gentlewoman. A BrltUh Officer's Invention. Captain Wilson, R. N., of the torpedo instruction ship Vernon, has invented an appliance for cutting through the tor pedo nets with which modern warships protect themselves from torpedo attacks. The experiments already made pi-ove to the fullest extent the tremendous power of the new invention, which has full' realized all its originator claimed for it. The inventor of the torpedo net ridiculed the idea of any instrument being able to cut through his tough steel wire net ting. But the trial just made has proved the emptiness of his boast. The great momentum of the White head torpedo, armed with Captain Wil son's new torpedo cutters, enabled it to cut its way through any torpedo ret, even when the latter was set an angle of 45 degs., without apparent retardation of its flight. The cutter consists of blades arranged scissor fashion, which sever the wire meshes of the net, mak ing an aperture sufficient for the en trance of the torpedo. Electricity. A Unique Theater. A stock company in Vienna is alont to begin building a unicme theater in one of the recently annexed districts. The cost is to be $250,000 or $300,000. The roof is to be a great rolling iron cur tain, after the style of iron curtains now used before shop windows, and on hot summer nights it is to be drawn aside so i that the audience may be refreshed. With that arrangement tho company expects to be able to carry out its plan t to give a performance every evening in the year, or 422 performances annually, including iratiuces. The theater will accommodate 3,000 persons, and the highest price for a place outside of the : boxes is to be only forty cents, although !

When I was in Germany a few years ago I was shown a street pavement that had been laid which was made of rub- uer. xi was almost noiseless, ana some went so far as to say that if it proved successful otherwise it would do away with vehicle springs. The only objec tion made to the pavement was that it was feared it would be affected by the change of temperature. I saw a man the other day who had recently arrived from Germany, and he told me the pave ment of which I have spoken has proved to be a complete success. That it is not changed by cold or hot weather, and that it wears well even under the heaviest teaming. Interview in Chicago Tribune A Hlind Ulack Eel. Mr. V. N. Edwards, of the United States fish commission, has obtained J from Cuttyhunk pond a very singular eel. The eyes are entirely concealed under the skin and the color is uniform ly dark, almost black, in form and proportions it is like the common eel, and may prove to be merely a dark col ored blind example of this species. Trout and other fish become dark in color as a result of blindness, and this may be another illustration of a phe nomenon which is often observed by fish culturists. The length of the specimen is about thirteen inches. Forest and Stream. Everybody "Was Mad. Nate Cook, of Brownsburg, Ind., pur chased an old house, in which was stored a photographer's outfit. People curiously inclined broke into the house and examined the pictures, but carried nothing away. Cook was very much incensed, and he caused the arrest of eighteen or twenty of the very best peo ple of Brownsburg, charging them with trespass. The cases were afterward dis missed, but not until all Brownsburg was uiad enough to wreak vengeance on everybody concerned in the prosecu tion. Philadelphia Ledger. ' A Hungry Eagle. One day last week Jlr. P. C Thorp shot a eea gull in the harbor of South port, N. C, but before the bird could be secured a large bald eagle, hitherto un noticed, swooped down and carried off the gull, soon disappearing with it in the direction of Fort Caswell. Paris Libraries. In spit of the pressure of modern life' and the abundance of periodical liter.-.-ture, 1,277,456 Iwots from the Paria municipal libraries have been read dur ing tha year. Eqroian Herald. Did it cr.occur to vyu,'iaui-XTr,r Point graduate and a national' guard? inan the other day, "what it means lo U a Kipti!ar uflicer in the nationnl guard? Something ijuitu lifT r'tit, 1 iu-j.uro you, from lH-iiig a popular oli.rer in the regu- ! lar army. Why? For thin reason: In! the army, if an officer takes caru of hit men, Mies that they get their clothing and jay promptly, looks out for their in terests in cas they are so unfortunate as to be locked up in the guardhouse, no matter how strict a disciplinarian ho may be, or how he may make the men stand around, be will be ipular with them. But here in the guard the rela tionship between officer und men is en tirely changed. The rank and file, who are men that need nosufierririion of their personal a flairs, exect their oflicers to be 'good fellows socially. "An officer need not be a strict disci plinarian to be very popular, but it is only fair to say that the majority of na tional guard officers, esiiecially in some of our crack commands, have just as thorough an understanding of military requirements iui regular army oflicers. Everythingel.se being equal, therefore, the popularity of the men may bo com pared as that of a man among employees or among his club equals. 1 mention these facts to show how easily a regular army officer could fail to succeed in tho guard, and, vice versa, how imjiohsiblo it would le for a guard officer, whoso cany going society ways are an essential part of his success in his rank, to make a name for himself in the army." Brook lyn Eagle. Pedigree of Boston' "Four Handred." "Every chap in Boston has lwn run ning for a pedigree lately," said a good natured son of the Emerald Isle yester day at the North End mission, "and some o' them fellers up there on Bacon's Hill, as have been putting their names in the Foor Hundred lately, ought to be ashamed of theirselves for trying to de save ieople. Sure, one of them that go- a strutting about with his eyeglass camo from just the same stock as meself and has nearly blinded his two eyes looking for his name in the book of martyrs. "His grandfather and mine came over from the ould country in the ship Mari anne about fifty years ago, wid the same intention of making a home. "Begorra, there was no aristocracy on board the Marianne, for he washed the dishes and me grandfather did chores around the vessel. "And ye should see them now. Know me? Faith, if there wasn't anybody else in the city to know, they wouldn't know Tim Doherty. "It's nothing but the ancientness of their families you hear of these days. But we'll all be dead some time and then the families of all of ns will be ancient enough to put in the Four Hundred." Boston Herald. Fraud Worth More Than the Orijriiiul. The art frauds that have taken shajo and substance, which remain to incum ber the world as false coin ever circulat ing from hand to hand, are of all times and periods. The arclueology of fraud even has become a science; some of the overt and acknowledged frauds them selves have attained the status of pre cious and' coveted works, more valuable in the strange gyrations in the wheel of time than the originals they simulated. Michael Angelo's marble Cupid, for in stance, which he made in secret, broke and mutilated, buried in a vineyard, and dug up again himself, all for the express "taking in" a certain cardinal, collector of antique marbles and contemner of modern art, is a case in point. If this particular Cupid could now be identified it would probably be worth more than the most beautiful genuine antique work of its kind which Italian soil still en shrouds. Nineteenth Century. Meat and Water Diet Gives Strength. Sir Francis Head tried the diet of tho Pampas Indians, which consists of tho flesh of mares, for these savages eat neither bread, fruit nor vegetables. He saj's: After. I had been riding three or four months, and had lived on beef and water, I found myself in a condition which I can only describe by saying that I felt that no exertion could kill me, although I con stantly arrived so completely exhausted that I could not speak; yet a few hours' sleep upon my saddle on the ground al ways so completely restored me that for a week I could daily be upon my horse before sunrise, could ride till two or three hours after sunset, and have really tired ten or twelve horses a day. This will explain the immense distances which people in South America are said to ride, which I am confident could only be done on beef and water. To Cut Glass with Shears. A sheet of glass a window pane for example can be cut as easily as a sheet of cardboard. The secret consists in keeping the glass, the 6hears and the hands under water during the operation. The glass can be cut in straight or curved lines without a break or a crack. This is because the water deadens tho vibrations of the shears and the glass. If the least part of the shears comes out of the water the vibration will be sufficient to mar the success of the experiment. LTllustration. A Candid Keply. "Now be honest," said the second party to a horse deal, as he slipped the halter on his exchange. "Is the animal worth carrying home?" "No," replied the former owner frank ly, "he ain't, but he's worth leading home, if you're going in that direction." Kate Field's Washington. America's feen Wonders. The seven wonders of America are classed as follows i Niagara falls, Yel lowstone park, Mammoth cave, the Can yons and Garden of the Gods, Colorado; the giant trees, California; the natural bridge,.
