"There was a very mad conductor on the eastbound train the other night," said John D. Paterson, a Kansas City man. "The car was crowded, and 1 shared my seat with a St. Louis drum mer, who was bent on having a good time at the expense of his fellow pas sengers. As the conductor came along a dog under our seat began to snarl viciously. The conductor looked hard at the drummer. 'No dogs allowed in the coaches; take him into the baggage car,' he said. 'Not my dog,' replied the drummer, as he made a vicious kick. The cur went howling under the seats the full length of the car. The passen gers became interested. The conductor, porter and brakeman made search for him. He continued to run and ho The passengers joined in the search, 1 no dog could be found, and the qu.. was finally given up. "Jnst as the passengers had settled into a doze the dog set up a heart breaking, ear piercing howl. The search was renewed, but without suc cess. As we pulled into Bunker Hill the dog got tinder the wheels, and his death song was something appalling. The conductor was overjoyed. He got off and looked for fragments of the dog. The drummer had alighted, and as the conductor called all aboard, he put down his grips and fillet! that train from engine to sleeper with dog fights. He was a ventriloquist. Tht conductor was so mad that he forgot to take up tickets for forty miles." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Doctored Its Own Tall. A small boy gave a lesson in natural history the other day. He brought into the office a 6pecies of lizard popularly known as the "swift." Holding the lit tle reptile above his head he let it fall to the floor, with the result that a sec tion of its tail was broken off. Noticing that it was minus a part of its prehen sile organ, the swift, after discovering the piece of tail lost, backed slowly up to it, and placing the stub against the piece, held it in contact for a few sec onds, and then ran swiftly away with his tail glued together, apparently as sound as ever. The experiment was repeated several times, with the same result. Swift glue could doubtless be used successfully in sticking dismembered limbs, fingers, etc., together, and we throw out this suggestion to local surgeons for what it is worth. Ontario Observer. A New Element in a Mineral. It is reported that a new element has been recognized in a mineral found in Egypt by Johnson Pasha in 1890. This mineral, first called "Johnsonite," but afterward masrite, consists mainly of aluminium, manganese, cobalt and iron, in combination with sulphuric acid. It dissolves in water and yields on treat ment with sulphuric hydrogen in an acetic acid solution a white precipitate, from which a pure hydroxide was pre pared. New York Journal. She Did and She Didn't. When you save a lady from being killed in a runaway and she says "Thanks," she really means, "The next time you do anything of that sort please don't muss the lace on my dress." If she really felt any sense of gratitude she would exclaim, "Call around and IU introduce you to my youngest sis ter." Detroit Tribune. It Did Seem Strange. Excited Lady (on the beach) Why isn't something done for that ship in distress? Why don't some of you Coast Guard (hurriedly) We have sent the crew a line to come ashore, mum.

If this globe were cooled down to 200 degs. below the zero of centigrade it would be covered with a sea of liquefied gas thirty-five feet deep, of which about seven feet would be liquid oxygen. London Spectator. The boa and its allies are entirely con fined to America, Australia and the tropical Pacific islands. The pythons, on the other hand, are mostly from the Old World. In Persia the umbrella was of ancient royal distinction. In Hindostan the title of "chattrapati" signifies "lord ol the umbrella, or shade of state. There are about 55,000 tons of soot re covered from the chimneys of London every year, which yield an annual revenue of nearly $225,000. There was snow in many parts of Iowa and Illinois ou May 11, 1876, and again as late as May 23, 1882. '- Why They lleg Newspapers. Begging newspapers seems to be one of the occupations of Gotham's small boy, and according to one of these urchins a good revenue is derived from the business. The practice in known a "Canada business." A gang of eight oi ten loys b.-sit-go the entrance to the bridge and elevated road every morning and keep an argus eye on all persons carrying newspapers. They stretch out their arms asking for the novspaier& and often pull them out of the hands ol passers by. The "newsies" are- very jM-rsistent, and occasionally get into little snarls with dyspeptic persons who get down town in bad humor. The temper ol tl ese people might bo intensified did tliey know that, according to a confes sion of one of the Iwiys, a newsdealer of a speculative turn of mind originally put the lys up to the practice they fol low. If the newspaiters are too much soiled to sell, the boys turn them ovei to the speculator, who holds them in re serve, paying the Itoys a pittance and then realizing full value by handin thein over to the respective newspapers as "return' and getting copies of the current date for them. The youngsters have learned his meth od though, and most of them do theii own "returning" as well as "begging" now. The practice is bad every way, as it is fast converting the little hustlers into indolent beggars. New York Com mercial Advertiser. "All's Well That Ends Well." The Scotch, with unconscious absurd ity, sometimes talk of "tempting Prov idence." In writing "All's Well That Ends Well," Shakespeare was "tempt ing" the higher criticism. Ever since the days of Zenodotus in Alexandria the higher criticism has reveled in "athe tizing," or marking as spurious, this part of an author's work because it is "nn worthy of him," that part because it is "not in his style," a third portion be cause it is a repetition of something lie has said elsewhere, and so on, till in Homer there are few lines to w.ich some. German or some Alexandrian Greek has not urged objections. To similar exercises of idle ingenuity has "All's Well That Ends Well" been ex posed. When Lucian met Homer iu the For tunate islands, he asked tho poet which of the rejected passages were really hi? own. "All and every one of them.' answered the shade; and Shakespeare'!; ghost might have made as inclusive a response to critical Imiuiries. Yet "All's Well" is certainly a play full of difficul ties and enigmas. It was first printed in the folio of 162:3, and very badlj printed it was. None of the drama contains so many passages that appear tr be corrupt; none is so rich in the uuin telligible; none so open to conjectural emendation. Andrew Lang in Harper's Crafty Master Fox. A fox was one day seen coming out ol a pile of stones near the water side. He hid in the heather for awhile and then pushed out something on the water, which proved to be a bunch of moss The wind took it into the middle of the lake and blew it past some ducks sitting on the surface. Having watched his venture for per haps ten minutes with apparent satis faction, and observed that it neared the ducks without arousing their suspicions, our friend tiegan to collect another and larger bunch of moss, which he allowed to float in the same direction, but this time he swam behind it, taking care to show only his eyes and nose above water, Just as it was passing the group of ducks he made a sudden dive, pulled down a bird and swam back to shore under water. Arrived there he earned the duck to the pile of stones, where his wife and daughter were no doubt wait ing to enjoy the fruits of his labors. "Forty-five Years of Sport." Immunity for the Fireilies. Birds do not eat fireflies, and even bats, which seem to eat everything else that they can chew or swallow, never touch a lightning bug. There must be something distasteful in this insect to the feathered world, and thus the spe cies is preserved, for if it were not so lightning bugs would soon become ex' tinct, as the torch they carry would only serve the purpose of attracting their enemies. It majr be that the uncanny apjear ance of the insect, giving forth as it does a brilliant flash of light every mo ment or two, deters birds and bats from attacking it, but if a lightning bug were a toothsome morsel to a bird's bill, any number of the feathered world would soon overcome their repugnance to the little living torch and go hunting for lightning bugs. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Wild Horses in Russia. In the steppes of Russia, where wolves abound and the horses lead a wild life and have to shift for themselves, it is said that a young colt will sometimes be made so furious by the persecutions of his enemies that he will rush wildly among a drove of wolves and bite and strike until he has slaughtered a large number of them. These horses are ex ceptionally fierce, rendered so, it is sup posed, by the extreme variations in the climate. At one time of the year they suffer from the intense heat of a tropical sun and at another they live among raging snowstorms and extreme ctld. Washington Star. He Lets the Tailor Whistle.

Many a man is called a corker by his convivial friends, when, as a matter of fact, he is- mainly an uncorker. Phila delphia Press. A Drowning Man'a Kspr rlsuee. To prevent any person fit JTn interfer ing Willi rny design I juuv Juto tho river late in tho of teruoo i Friday. No one appeurcd to bo alx at at tho timo. When 1 struck the watev I immediately sank, going down and down, aud yet being carried forward until I thought I would never again ari 0. A sonnd roared through my head; it sooruod to me it would burst. I cqxf ied my mouth and attempted to bruatr.e, botog unable, to endure tho preftstf ro longer, but tho water rushed in anl 1 closed my mouth. I was again Conrjrxrfiled to open it. More water entered. j.'he feeling was horri ble. Just when 11 bought all was over I reached tho urf aco of the water about fclty feet loom ;the shore and 100 feet from whero-I Inn 1 jumped in. Nearby was a sioamooair on wuicn stood a man with a long pobo with an iron hook on the end. It. took only a- second to eeo those things, and in fact I had just timo to get one breath when I again sank with my mouth open. My past life flashed before me, and I was again a cliild. The picture. of my father and mother stood out in bold relief. I reached out my hand to them. Tho roaring of the water sounded liko the sweetest of music. Suddenly I saw light and thought I was in paradise. A largo green field covered with roses and other flowers, whoso fra granco I could smell, came in view. I felt as if I was being fionie up by some winged messenger whom I could not see, but whoso presence I could feel. I remembered nothing more until I felt a rough jerk. My rescuer had suc ceeded in fastening tho boathook in my clothing. As my body was being pulled from out of tho water tho picturo changed; instead of paradise, tho place in which tho devil dwells, with all its fires and swarming with hideous, red dressed creatures and other things, pre sented themselves in my mind, only to again quickly disappear and leave me in darkness. When I camo to I was sur prised to learn I had been unconscions. Every muscle in my body pained me, but my brain was jierfectly clear. Drowning, after tho first stages are past, is pleasant. St. Louis Republic. Andirons as Ornuuients. Genuine antique andirons are compar atively rare in New York, and they are for the most part of simple design, al though ornate in detail often. Tho very earliest andirons were of wrought iron, and few of them have come down to this century, especially in America. One characteristic of early forms was the curved top, ending in a diamond Bhaped mass of iron, from 1J to 3 inches in diameter. The goat's foot, not with divided hoof, however, is a common characteristic of early form, in brass as well as iron. When the andiron was developed as an ornament, small andirons, called creepers, came to bo used with the large ones. The latter were for show; tho creepers were to hold the logs, and per haps to prevent them rolling out upon the floor. Tho creepers were of wrought iron, with front only ten or twelve inches high, curving into a ball. Later they were used alone in small fireplaces and imitated and elaborated in brass. They aro not uncommon at the antique shops, and they aro exactly imitated in wrought iron by modern manufacturers and sold at from $1.50 to $3 a pair. Another comparatively earlv form is a wrought iron strip with simply wrought iron feet and a brass knob at the top. New York Sun. One of Laliotichere's Stories. One of Labouchere's stories about the admiralty and tho way "My Lords" con duct their labors at Whitehall is as fol lows: A few years ago a gun was lost by bursting in the Sea of Marmora, and upon reading the report of the admiral in command of the fleet "My Lords" wero moved to telegraph to ask whether there was any chance of the muzzle of the gun being recovered. The answer was that in view of the fact that the gun had been lost in eighty fathoms of wa ter, nearly out of sight of land, where no cross bearings could have been taken, the likelihood of its recovery was very remote. Thereupon ' 'My Lords" wanted to know why no engineer's accounts had been sent in from the vessel in question, but they ceased telegraphing when the admiral replied that the ship had been for ten years a sailing ship! Cor. New York World. Athletics In a Theater. On one occasion during Mrs. Langtry's tenancy of the St. James' theater, ath letic sports were held on the stage after the evening performance, in which not only the members of the fjompany, but also Mrs. Langtry and her sister took part. One rather novel event, which was confined to the stage hands, was a race from the stage to the gallery, in the center of which Mrs. Langtry's hand kerchief had been suspended.' This was awarded to the fortunate winner, to gether with a substantial monetary ad dition. London Tit-Bits. Snakes That Climb Trees. Those pit vipers without rattles which belong to the Old World (Trimeresuri) are Indian, and a dozen different species are given and described by Mr. Boulen ger. They are robust snakes, with rather short tails, which can strongly grasp, and thus they are enabled to climb about trees which form their natural habitat Quarterly Review.
