Ignacio Galvun. a young Spanard
who went to the City of Mexico, from
New Orleans, where he resided for
several year, has been arrested
and placet in Melem prison on the
charge of swindling. He had car
ried on his operations on an exten
sive scale, and had already realized
a profit of several thousand dollars
He brought with hitu to Mexico a
large number of confederate bills,
which he hail secured in New Or
leans. He found no difficulty in
passing these bills on the smaller
storekeepers of the city as genuine
American currency, and received
the change in Mexican coin. His
arrest was brought about through
an American locomotive engineer,
who saw the man pay a large bill
at a small restraurant with
the worthless money. When ur
rested Galvan had &M0 of the bdls
in his pocket nnd a large quantity
in his trunk. He is thought to have
worked Monterey, San Luis I'otosi

A VARNISHED TALE.
When Mr. and Mrs. Rlitrik of Jot atreet
went to K.UMiie on their wedding tour, j
Blank took Ins kodak along. His lovely .
tmmt'liiie thought he wan "jierleotly hor j
rid to think of Hiiythinii that would ill
tnwt hia Httoutioii trom her, and poor
Itlmk had a hanl tinietouuarint himself.
Ii-. had wisely concluded that a kodak I
would let them down easy on the billing!

posed to iliik'tiise liy rlever Mtrateuy.
His M'lieme toi ktsl like a charm. Theii
tnutiial infiitua ion gradually ahifted fcoin
each other to the little lilack Ikix, anil the
button tt prossed with ever incn-asini; in
reri'i. The O'.itt. nve of it wax that Blank
la-cmue an uninitit;ateil crank on the auh

converted into a regular lalior.it ory as kihhi
as thev had returned anil were settled at
housekeeping The shelves were tilled with
lieualiveM, transparencies and Minis, and the
table was covered with huruUhers, devel

One evenitm not lorn; airnMr. nnd Mrs.
Blttik cauie over from t'hurlottu avenue to
spend the eveuim. The air wa.s as sharp
iw neisl'.es, nnd 4hi'ii they arrived poor
Mrs. Blink was nearly wild with nennili;ia
in her face. Mrs. Blank is a sympathetic
little creature, and idie flew hpuukI to net
relief for her visitor. She found some lieu
raUia pills, hut they seemed to d ) no yood.
' I here is a Imttle of liniment in the house.
that is just splendid if I could Hud it," she
nil id. "James xot it for me, ami it uave al
most Immediate relief."
Then the little lady went Into her hits
band's private den to look for the bottle,
while Blank went into the. library to have
a quiet smoke with lilmk. Mrs. Blank
prowled about smellitiK the tint tie mil il
she was almost ill, and finally found one
that nhe was sure contained the liniment.
The label read, "Anthony's (Juick Ilrying
aruisli,' hut the lady did not slop to
read il.
The sufferer leaned back in her chair, and
Mrs. Blank slopped on a liberal coutinof
the varnish Anv one who has handled
negative varnish know w ith what wonder
fill rapidity it la transformed from a thin
liipii I to a Klaens hard as 1,'la.ss uml as
touh as Inttlier. Mrs. Blink's face was
puckered up into the most woeful expres
sioti her features could iissiinie wlicu the
application was made.
"There," said her attendant, "I know
that w ill rvlicv" you In a few minutes."
.Mrs IHnik really felt that there was
some mysterious virtue in me remedy. M,e
tried to smile lauu'iiidly and say, "Thanks,
I am better now," but found it utterly iui
possible. Her lips weiv filled together ns
if tho seal of silence had la-en forever set
upon them, and her face was like that of a
graven imau;u
She made a queer little noise in her
throat like a strangled shriek, and her eyes
bean to roll horribly a she clawed at her
varnish iMiunil features.
Then It dawned upon Mrs. Blank that
she had made a terrible mistake. She had
used chloroform instead of liniment ami
her dear friend w as th ing. In one brief in
statit she saw herself in the prisoners' dock,
the place crowded witli aynipatlii.inij
friends and the judkce removing the kinks
from Ills pat riarehal hiuird as lie prepared to
Hive her a life sentence.
It was too horrible to contemplate, ami
Mrs. Blank shrieked aloud with terror.
The two gentlemen nearly fell over each
other in their haste to enter the room.
"tireat heavens! what's the matter"
they shouted its they saw Mrs. Blink's con
tortions and Mis. Blank's look of horror.
"This Is terrible," said Blank. "My poor
fellow, you must Is nr it like a man. It's a
stroke of paralysis."
Blink nearly had a lit at this announce
ment, lie crtUKht his stricken wife In his
arms and i Mscd her with Impassioned
fervor The I iss M-emed to slip away like
water sliding from a duck's back. Blink
felt as if he had kissed it nickel plated coal
stove.
"What the devil's this?" he exclaimed,
Hii.ing in coiMcniation at the polished
Klae on his wile's lace.
"1-1 have kiled her," faltered Mrs.
Blank, sin!, inn into a lu-tip on the door.
The Isitlle wasstill clasped in her hand, and
Blank saw the lalsd
"Bo you mean to say you have Ih-cii
usiiiK that slulT lor liniment" lie inquired.
His wife could only fcasp an allirmative.
Mrs. Blank will never forRt't the look her
husband Kiive her at t hat moment. Then
he burst into u roar of laughter. When lie
could stop lotitf enough to explain, he ap
peased the Indixnalloii of the others. They
tried Is'iiiue and Kasoline without avail,
and It was only after half a pint of alcohol
had been applied an a dissolvent that Mrs.
Blink could smile iiKiiin.
There were strained relations between
the two families for several days, but it ia
all over now. They are friends again, but
the little eplsisle will never be forgotten.

His stoop was quite correct, his hat was of
the right shadeand breadth of brim, his neck
was mn tiled in a silk scarf, his hair was
brushed forward, and his hooked handle
cane v. a carried at the proper angle. He
was a robust ly rounded young man, smoked
a eigar instead of a cigarette and was alto
gether a good, healthy specimen of chappie,
dealt boy. One might have been deceived
into the supposition that he was capable of
original thought
Tlie guest to whom he sent his card waa
out. As he turned to leave the ofllce coun
ter he reached for a match In tlie silver box.
Then he fumbled around and scratched it
several time fruitlessly. Finally In that
helpless, baby w ay that overcomes chappies
when upset in the throes of a dilemma he
said tn the clerk:
"Awh, 'ok do you serawtcb these
Uiaw tclies. jeknow "
"Take a good mutch and simply strike it

hands and sobbed. Washington Star.

Last fall Mr. Walling, whoso farm ad
joins the village of llaliburton, had two
acres and a half of Swedn turnip. Of
these ho gathered two acres, putting
them in heaps and covering them with
about six inches of straw. The half acre
was not harvested. Mr. Walling's inten
tion was to draw the turnip which were
in heaps a soon a the tirst snow came,
but tlie intention was not carried out
nnd tlie show covered tlie heaps and pre
served tlio turnips. Last week Mr. Wal
ling decided to commence feeding the
turnips nnd took a sleigh to tho turnip
field. The heaps were all gone. Every
turnip had been eaten by deer. More
than that, the half acre had been care
fully gone over by tho herd of deer, and
every turnip had been grublicii out of
the ground nnd eaten, l.tMHJ bushel in
all being eaten. The marks of tho deer
were seen in every direction, and there
must have been 9 tr 10. The field where
tin? turnip were consumed is not more
than three-quarters of a mile from the
village postollice, goinga tho crow flies.

The machine shop of J. W. Russell on
Taylor street, where the idea of many
valuable, inventions have been worked
out, has just put forth a new contrivance
which promises to be exceedingly useful.
It ia a method of stopping un engine by
means of an electric button from nny
part of a shop. Many times uccideiits
liapM'ii in various rooms of factories
which could easily have been jirevented
if it were not necessary to run down to
the engine room before (he machinery
could lie HtopiM'd.
The idea of stopping it by electricity
has been tried before, but never by n pro
cess so simple and sure us this. The idea
was developed by John Slaniiiiril of this
city and was perfected Monday, after
four months' hanl labor on it. The whoh
mechanism occupies not luoto than a
cubic foot of Kpace. Springfield Repub

"i ich. Mike, would ye Ink! HereV a
pie iiul.ide!" said a woi kiiigiiian engaged
in shoveling away the snow ulsmt a big
building in coarse of erection. His shovel
had laid low un enormous snowdrift
where tho wind bud swirled fiercely
about n corner, ami in the Ixittoiuof it
were tho frozen hodies of 20 or !) Eng
lish sparrows. It was a pie indeed, and
there were many such baked last winter.
Millions of the fierce littlo bird jierished
from the stress of winter, ami it will take
years of breeding to bring back the cheer
ful nritiy, the feathered gamins of our
street and the brightest littlo soldier
among us, for, when all' uaid nnd done,
one cannot help liking the Fparrow for
his courage and his ititinito cheerfulness
under adverse circumstances. He is a
constant example to the blue and down
heHrled. New York Herald.

I'ftdcrewski's manager has come to the
pianist's assistance to keep the girls
away. The persistency with which they
insist utKin waylaying the pianist in
town and out of tow n, in the wings on
his way from the stage to his dressing
room, Iihh led to the omission from the
programme of the I'uderewski recitals u
list of the pianist's future engagements,
with the times and places of his apjienr
ances. This has been done at the request
of I'uderewski, who was forced into
some measure of protection from the
mob of women who have jK.'stered and

Of all the ludicrous things which are
told of the condition of the discipline in
the Massachusetts state prison, that
story of the convict Booth, who, having
appointed himself chairman of a com
mittee to select a testimonial to the re
tiring warden, coolly picked out head
quarters Htid hung up a sign, ' No Ad
mittance," which was duly resja'cted by
the prison guards, is the most amazing.
If we don't look out, this extraordinary
