HE WEARS PETTICOAT3.
A Man Wbt Haa w More Costly eBilaim
Ware robe Tbaa Many H oiwx
Commander James Bobbins, of the
local post Grand Artsy of the Republic,
C.x.p-r's Mills, Lincoln county, in
Maine, is one of the prominent ni.n of
his community, a citi.ten generally e
teemed as a man of integrily and in
telligence, says the Lewiston Journal.
Mr. Bobbins has a brilliant war record
as a member i f the Thirteenth Mainc.
Ile has lived ia the village sIdcc lss-T
and is a jeweh-r. His house is a neat
cottage cn the brow of the hill as one
drives into the Mills. In the narrow
front hallway is Mr. Robbins' bench,
lathe and tools, and here you will find
Mm placidly working away at the liny
wheels and wrings.
If you are on sufficiently intimate
terms with Mr. Bobbins you will find
him indulging- ia his bobby. He has
one, like the most of cs. In this case
the hobby is startlingly picturesque,
and it may be safely said that be is the
most original man in the state of
Maine so far as his curious fancy is
concerned. He wears petticoats. Not
when be goes down street itr tUe mail
and to do bis marketing. At ibot
times he slips on his masculine panla,
lootis. Yet he dots not wear his trou
sers like ordinary masculinity. N
suspenders for him. He wears a sort
of dres waist, and his trousers are bufc
toned tightly about his hips. He a) trays
wears a woman's number six shoe,
with high heels and graceful, slender
shape. Mr. Robbins weighs something
like one hundred and eighty pounds,
and the effect produced by those shoes
peeping coyly out from beneath manly
trouser legs is startling, to pay the
least. Mr. Robbins doesn't mince or
toddle, and bis shoes seem to fit him
pretty weiL
He reserves his petticoats for the
sanctity of the home circle, for the' par
tial retirement of his orchard and for
calls upon neighln.rs with whom his
acquaintance is close, Mr. Robbins
isn't squeamish about showing himself
in petticoats. He enjoys wearing
them; he has worn them when oppor
tunity has presented all his life long,
and he wears them scientifically, too.
In the first plaoe there's do half-way
buiaess about it. Every detail of
feminine attire Is there and Mr. Rob
bins is rightly fussy about the details.
There is no woman In Cooper's Mills
w ho owns so many dresses of such ex
cellent material as does the commander
of the Cooper's Mills post He takes
pride in buying only the best. HU
linc-erie is elaborately tucked and
rufiled, edged with lace and fashioned
according to the most approved models
of any lady's wardrobe. The material
is of the finest quality, and when Mr.
Robbins lifts his skirts the eye gets a
vision of ruffles, lace and ' all sue!
like" of dazzling rvhitenessand immae

However orh England may have
fallen off in other respects there is one
thing in which it assuredly retains i'
suj-remacy namely, the taimber. the
variety, the comfort and ti e beauty of
it. carriages of one hied and another.
Tt.ey rr.n.'e from every kind of coach

of pony carriages and carts, and it is
perhaps among the batter that the
greatest ingenuity and arcsticg dis
similarity are to be observed. Especial
ly rich in conveyances of this charac
ter axe the stables of the queen and cf
the prince of Wales. While it is im
possible t-J conceive anything cure
dainty and e'ezant than the little
phaeton which the princess of Wales
is accustomed to drive about Sandring
ham. the acme cf comfort and con
venience is assuredly embodied in tha
low pony trap used by CJieen Victoria
to take Lcr daily airing at Windsor and
Osborne.
Her majesty has Inherited the ten
dency to obesity peculiar to the mem
bers of the royal house of Hanover,
and this, together with the rheumatic
ailment from which the suffers, ren
ders locomotion a matter of some diffi
culty and the use of a carriage almost
imperative.
It is diCicult to realize that the lit
tle, stout old lady, whose stature is
considerably r.nder five feet, was once
upon a time famous for her horseman
ship or that she bears any relation to
the young and elegant queen, whose
appearance on horseback, with her
shapely figure arrayed in tne scarlet
and gold-braided jacket of a colonel of
the guards, and a plumed hat on her
head, aroused so much enthusiasm on
the part of her soldiers at a certain
memorable review at Aldershot short
ly after the establishment of the great
military camp there.
As a whip (Jueen Victoria has never
attained any fame, differing therein
from the princess of Wales and from
the latter's daughter, the duchess of
Fife, both of whom are clever four-in-hand
drivers. Indeed, the princess of
Wales is almost as much at home with
her four-in-hand team of ponies as is
her cousin, the queen of the Relgiaus,
while one of the most charming and
welcome presents oiferc-d to the
duchess of York on the occasion of her
marriage was a four-in-hand team of
ponies and a diminutive phaeton ia
keeping with their she, given by Lord
Vernon, whose wife is a daughter of
Francis Lawrence, of New York.
American roads are as a rule so bad,
says the New York Tribune, that the
very low pony carriage so much used
by women in England could hardly be
made available here. Where roads

are among the rnot luxuriously com

STARTLED THE ENGINEER.
The Practical Juke I'layed by Mean of

A cruel joke was perpetrated on the
engineer of the Louisville Nashville
passenger train which reached this
city late the other afternoon, says the
LouUville Ccurier-Journab Several

the form of a man asleep on the track

Ha frantically applied the airbrakes
and blew the whistle ia short, quick

sleeping man. Immediately heads be
gan to pop out of the car windows, and
as the supposed man in front was seen
upon the track they were quickly
jerked back to escape seeing the sick

coulj not be averted. As the engine
passed over the object the engineer
and fireman closed their eyes and fan
cied they could feel the wheels pas."
over the body.
When the train was finally stopped
passengers and trainmen hurried back
to the spot, where the dark object
coulJ still be seen, but cow cut into

The men then returned, much dis

CACTUS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
A Laxnriant Fatrh ot tha riant Toond
iirowinc Wild la th Wooda.
While a Port Jc-rvis couple were
strolling through the Pike county
woods near Matamoras, Pa., recently
they were surprised to come upon a
bed of wild cactus of luxuriant growth
situated in the midst of several largo
trees, says a special to the New York
Sun. The cactus is from three to six
feet in height and as green and healthy
looking as any ever seen in the cactus
countries.
These exogenous plants bud been in
bloom during the pas4 season and some
faded flowers still remained upon tho
stems, while the ground underneath
the plants was coven! with dead Fpec
imens which had fallen off. No dwell
ing ever occupied the site where the
cactus was discovered, cs far as known,
and It Is doubtless a wild and natural
production of the soli where it exists.
How this plant (cf which there axe
more than five hundred species fonn l
almost exclusively in wanner region: )
should be able to cx st ia this high
latitude and v.ithstai.d our severe win
ters is a my.tery and furnishes an in
teresting study. The discovery ha
created interest in the plant, and ef
forts will be made to transplant speci
mens to private gardens.
A Horse Lives ia the White IIous.
A horse has a home in the whit
hou-e. says a Washington correspond
ent of the St. Ixnis Globe-Democrr.t
This Is literal fact which visitors
never discover and which few Washing
ton people know. The horse whi- h
shares the executive mansion with the
president isn't a thoroughbred He has
neither pedigree nor record. lie is
just a plain, everyday horse, v. ith a
white star in his forehead, a faith
ful companion to Edgar R. Hockley.
And who is F.dgar II- Hockley? The
man who for twenty-live t ears has car
ried to and from the white houe all of
the interesting and valuable mad re
ceived end sent, and nho l.as never
been found remiss in his ditty. Pain
or shine, lu all sea -ens. be makes hour
ly trips between the white houe and
the city post oCieo. He is the white
house mail carrier. And the horse that
has his home in tho white house car
ries Heck ley. The part of the mansion
set apart for the horse is one toner of
the conservatory. A thin partition is
all that separates the roomy stall from
the orchids. There is just room enough
for the stall and a temporary supply of
feed, and there the horse eats and
fleep. under the same roof wiih the
president of the L'nited States.
BMn(biai Palace I'fiinhaL-ltable,
So serious hare been the discoveries
in connection with the sanitary condi
tions of Buckingham palace that the
question is now beirg discussed as to
whether it can ever again be used for
a royal residence. Not only is the drain
age in a shocking condition, which will
necessitate the expenditure of a fabu
lous sum to set aright, but it has also
been found that one of the largest of
the main sewers of the metropolis
passes immediately under the palace,
anl that the gases arising therefrom
permeate the foundations of the royal
abode. The proposal to alter the course '
of the sewer in question is declared

t.MLLIONAIRES HOBSIES.
Barea Rot arhild aad tha Lata Jar C.m14
Spent rartanea This Wax.
In reply to the questioa of who
rpends the most money on hobbies an
English writer says; This almost
necessarily, is one of the great million
aires of the world, who cin net
otdy aJTord to have a hobby, bat can
indulge it to the fullest extent regard
less cf expense. Two men. one still
living, the other recently deceased,
have been preeminent in speeding
larg fortunes upon their respective
bobbies. The hobby of lima Roths
child, of Tring. "Hertfordshire, is
the accumulation of works of art of
almost every description and the estab
1 shment of one of the finest museum
collections in the world. His resi
dences at Tring and in town are both
f iled with probably the finest paint
ings and works of art in the possession
of a private individual in this country
cr in the world; while his museum,
housed in a building especially erected
for it ia Tring Park, at a cost of over
ten thousand pounds sterling, is nn
eqnaled by any private and is superior
to many public collections.
This museum, which is under the
personal supervision of Earon Roths
child's son (Hon. Walter F.othscbild),
assisted by curators and science ex
perts, ia especially rich In birds, but
terflies and insects from all parts of
the world, and is open to the public
four days a week. There are also val
uable scientific collections in the mu
seum, which those engaged In scien
tific inquiry can obtain permission to
view and study. The coUection of
these valuable and, in many instances,
priceless treasures has cost Lord
Rothschild almost a fabulous sum,
amounting to several hundreds of thou
sands of pounds, and is still growing,
agents ia all parts of the world being
continually oa the lookout for addi
ti ms.
The deceased millionaire who spent a
large fortune ou his hobby was the late
Jay Goal J. The wondersof his immense
botanical gardens at Irrington have
been frequently described, and included
acres of hothouses and a vast collection
of native and exotic plants and flowers.
Enormous sums of money were spent
by Mr. Gould upon this hobby, and
such was his enthusiasm that he knew
the botanical name cf every Inmate of
this aggregation of hothouses, its or
der, family, genus, species and sub
species, if it had one, and could give
the botanical visitor a fund of knowl
edge as b its habits, peculiarities and
features, niir.ut? z. : ' general. Mr.
Gould, like tao.,l o;.r millionaires,
had a yacht, though, probably, in the
matter of these floating palaces that
of Mr. Vanderbilt. which co-t up
ward of a quarter of a million sterling,
would eclipse all others.
ODD CAUSE OF A FIRE.
Scn'a Rays. Shinier Throneh a Water
lloltlc, Uu.:ri a Muckintocrt.
Proof of the unusual heat of the
sun's rays ia tha mouth of October,
says the Loudon Telegraph, is given by
a discovery made by Inspector Morau,
of the S division of the Metropolitan
police, which satbfactorliy discloses
the cause of a mysterious tire in the
Tre-wint industrU.l home for girls at
Hampsteaib Two or three da3-s ego a
l-c.l in one of the rooms on the second
Coor was di-oovered alight, and extin
guished with some ditliculty. The or
igin of tho fire was a mystery, and in
the evening the police and the fire
brigade ofieials were consulted, the
former because it was feared to be the
work of tin incendiary.
No satisfactory result wr.s obtained
at the time as the outcome of the in
vestigations, but Inspector Moran. one
of the tlleers engaged in the inquiry.
wa! sei.-.ed with a "happy thought
wi:ile nfterr.-r.rd pondering over the
occurrence. Throughout the win.lo of
Thursday the sun had been shining
very bri'.-htly at Hampstead. and he
had ascertained that in the morning a
full water lottle had been standing in
the room between the open windovr
and a mackintosh oa the wail. The
idea occurred to him that the sun's
rays, shining through the water in the
bottle, might have set fire to the mack
intosh, causing the latter in turn ta
ignite the bedding. Accordingly, at
about noon on Friday, when the sua
was again shining brightly, though not
so powerfully as on the previous day,
he proceeded to the house and experi
mented with a water-bottle and a
mackintosh. The result clearly dem
onstrated that the fire had been caused
by the sun's rays being concentrated
by the water upon the mackintosh, the
bcrtiing liquid substance from which
had fallen on the bed and set it on Cre.
The removal of the idea of ineendiar
i im was a great consolation to the offi
cers of the institution.
WEDDING TOUR IN A BALLOON.
A Wild Bod ratal Advenfar ia th
Italia A If la October.
Mmc. Charbonnet. who went in a
balloon on her wedding tour and was
thrown ont, with her husband and his
friend, in the Italian Alps on October
II, last, arrived in Turin a few days
lator. Mroe. Charbonnet says thtt the
balloon stmck the glacier at three
o'clock in the afternoon. The car
went to pieces and the three occupants
were thrown out, but were not badly
hurt. They passed the night in the
sno'.v and ice amng the Cairanvdla
pfaks, their only shelter leing a t?nt
which they made from what remained
of the buiioou.
When the nextday broke they began
the descent of the mountain. They
had gone hardly a mile when Char
lonnet disappeared in a crevave.
Ponta and Mas. Charbonnet wandered
over the glacier during the rest of the
day. Ia the evening Ponta fell and
broke his leg. The couple parsed a
second night ia the snow and iee. and
then li.no. Charbocnet went alone
down the mountain to a hut, where
she induced two guides to go back
after hc-r husband and Ponta. Char
bonnet's dead body, with skull and
li:nbs crushed, was found at the bot
tom of the crevnsie. Ponta was un
conscious, but revived after he was
taken to the hut.
Colo: O it wish Firecrtrker.
Aa interesting case of "the ruling
passion strorg ia death" is described
by the Toronto Mail. A humorist in
Jppr.n who jested all his life told his
friends when he was dying that his
ody was not to be washed after death,
iv.it was to be taken at onee to the
family temple to be cremated. When
he died his instructions were followed,
and the chief priest took the body to
the cremation ground. As soon as it
was set on fire the mourners was as
tonished by. several loud explosions.
At first they were inclined to take tq
their heels, but curiosity pot the bet
ter of fear, and careful inspection
showed that the humorist had stowed,
6WBJ' a large number of firecracker
about his person before his death.
Terrlhla Tidra.
Statistics regarding the tides in the
Day of I'unly are to startling as to
seem almost incredible. At Grand
Maran the fall is from twclv; to fif
teen feet, at Lnbec and La&tport
twenty feet, at St. John from tsventy
fcur to thirty feet, at Moncton. od the
bf-r.d of the Petiteodiac, seventy feet,
while the distance between high and
low water mark on the Cobequid river
is twelve miles, the river actually be
ing twelve miles longer at high than
at low wtter. Vessels can be run cp
so far on the flood in this river and ii
the Avon that the ebb will leave theuj
high and dry for sixteen hours, so that
they can be repaired between tides.
