How the Designer of the Hanaem Cab loat a Fortune. Charles Hansom, the famous English architect, was a talented man In many respects other than In the exercise of his profession. He was dining on a certain day with a few friends when one of them taunted him with being unable to invent a vehicle which would supersede the old fashioned hacks and cabs In universal use In Loudon. Mr. Hansom got n sheet of paper, and without any delay he sketched out his Idea of a safe and convenient mode of passing through tho crowded streets of the great metropolis. Ills friends watched him while he was at work und unanimously applauded the sketch which he had drawn. They dubbed It by the nam of Its Inventor, and it was then and there called a "Hansom ear." One of those present advised him to take out a patent for It, which he said he would do on the morrow. Howev er, there wns one dishonest man In the company, by whom ho was forestalled, for on reaching his own house that evening and being, like Mr. Hansom, a clever draftsman, as all great archi tects are, he sketched out a ear like tlifc'.drawlng he had seen, and early the following morning he took it to the office and got out a patent for it In his own name, thus robbing the talent ed. Inventor of all the remuneration which he deserved to reap from It. It brought an Immense but ill gotten for tune to the one who had perpetrated the fraud, whereas Mr. Charles Han som was never one penny the richer. Donnhoe's. JACK TAR'S GIN.

While on the China station In IStfi) the master t arms' mess 011 the Unit ed States steamer Omaha was In 11 drunken and demoralized condition for several weeks. Try as lie might the captain could not discover where the liquor was coining from. Finally all shore liberty was stopped, but the drunkenness did not ceae. On the morning of sailing while the executive I olllccr was near the port gangway watching the taking In of stores uo . asked what was in a large demljohu j that came over the side with boxes ' and packages. He ws told that It was I vinegar, lie pulled tin cork and sniff- oil It. It was vinegar. Then his at . tentlon was attracted by the tag I marked "muster at arms' mess," and, remarking that the me-s must be us I ing vinegar for bathing, as he had al ready seen the same demljohu brought I aboard twice within that week, he or dered the olllier of the deck to Inspect : It carefully and taste It. lie did; It I was vinegar. That olllccr, however. noticed that the Jug had an unusually long neck. He poured out a small quantity of vinegar and discovered an extra cork in the bottom of the neck. Below that were three gallons of gin. The vinegar between the corks had served to deceive the Inspecting of ficer at the gangway for a month. Chicago News. There was once In n North Carolina court a case that has gone down as history In the Judicial annals of the state. It appears that a debtor named Jenkins, when solicited to close nn old open account by note, agreed to do so provided he should be allowed to draft the Instrument. This was granted him, whereupon he presented the creditor with the following: "I, Samuel Jenkins, agree to pay John Hoggins $200 whenever conven ient, but It Is understood that said Jen kins is not to bo pushed. Witness my hand and seal this day of Samuel Jenkins." Harper's Weekly. An Only Daughter Cured of Consumption Wlien death wan hourly expected, ill rcmi dlex having failed, and Dr. II.
