able turumnuD'l at almost any time
higher rates for majraiine or netr-pa-Tw-r
snipes than almost any of th.
litterateur who have pained fame by
n ason of their writing. Mr. James
R. Keene, who is well known as one of
the moi-tMiecesftfu! and picturesque of
thrv men who deal in Wall fetreet in
New York city, has been many times
asked to write orer his own signature
upon any topic which he chose and to
name his own price, which wonld
cheerfully be paid. As Mr. Keene
ometimeshas found his fortune ap
preciate as much as J100.000 in a single
dar it is ea--y to see that if he charged
for such service in proportion to his
earning capacity he would receive an
almofct fabulous sum for an article from
2.000 to 5.000 words in length.
The only occasion since thoe early
days of his poverty, when lie made his
living as a newspaper writer, that Mr.
Keene overcame his disinclination to
vrite was in the summer of ls77, just
after he had held at bay an army of
Wall street speculators, having- sus
tained the market kiuple handed f r
an entire day, backed by g-oid which
his California friends sect to him. and
thereby unquestionably prevented such
a panic as this country has not seen,
excepting possibly in 157 and 1T3.
"The strain upon his nervous system
r.f thus maintaining the market again
tiie combin-.-d assault of frightened in
vestors and peculators was so great
tliat a few days after Mr. Keene was
stricken with an illness which threat
ened to develop into paralysis of the
brain. He was removed to Long
l:ranch as foon as it was possible to
lift him from his bed. and there, after
come diflieulty and through the oSiees
..f the late Sam Ward, Mr. Keene con
sented to dictate an interview for pub
lication. At that time Mr. Ward was enter
taining his nephew, F. Marion Craw
ford. an 1 had Uva fco highly pleased
with a blory which Mr. Crawford told
him of an experience in India tliat he
:i :-. is,-.l t i.e young man to w rite it out
ii that he would see that it found a
publisher, and thus it was that the
rv which made Marion Crawford
!raus "Mr. Isaacs," came to be writ
len and printed snd Crawford's career
;itermined.
Mr. Keene was greatly interested in
Mr. Ward's narration to him of this
tale, which had not been printed, and
he told Mr. Ward some of the early
California, experiences of his which
M-i-med quite as marvelous as did the
t. : of Mr. Isaacs, and it was then
t!.at Mr. Ward said to him: "Mr.
Keene, if you were not a great specu
lator you might In-come a great novcl-
i t."
!r. Keene filially received the repre
sentative of one of the New York news-joj-eis.
He lay upon his bed. w hich
was in a quiet room of one of the Long
:ra:ich hotels. The room was very
s::i'T.ly furnished, and it seemed irapos
f ir ;,. to believe that the man w ho lay
there content apparently with the rJ
iii'. st humble surroundings of this ten
1 twelve room was able, if he chose,
t.. buy the hotel und a good deal of the
adjacent property without materially
u'.Tecling his poeketbook.
lie iK'gan slowly to dictate. It
t-. emed us tuougli he weighed every
wi.r-l. lie frequently changed a word
in order to put in its piace another

meaning. When a sentence or a para

Keene would ask to have it rea l over,
nud when this was done lie repeated it
several times bis patience and care le
ing ouite as great as eiiaracU'rizod

were engayeJ in prose composition.
Thus for live hours this great finan

THE WEIGHT OP
Attorney Thoina. ot Wahlf.on. E
llChteoa tb Dtatrtct.
In the Ust district appropriation bin
there appeared an item allowing 50
cents per ton for the removal of gar
bage in steel tanks the Washing
ton Star. Shortly after the law went
into operation a question arose as to
w hat number of pounds constituted a
n. The contractors claimed that
?. pounds was the legal ton and
made returns on that basis. The first
auditor, however, was not disposed to
pass the account nntil the commission
ers explained the definition of the word
ton."
Attorney Thomas was called upon to
give his opinion of the matter and re
turned the papers with the followinj
opinion:
"The act does not specify the num
ber of pounds w hich shall compose a
ton and hence we nmst go outside for
a definition. Among other definitions
of the word ton' given by Webster is
the following: 'The weight of twenty
hundred gross or 2.240 pounds. In the
I'nited States the ton is commonly esti
mated at 2.0U0 pounds this is some
times called the short ton.' The law
in relation to the collection of duties
on imports prescribes that whenever
the word 'ton' is used in reference to
weighing bulky articles in custom
houses it shall "be construed to mean
t.veiity hundred weight, each hundred
i.eiyht U-ing 113 pounds avoirdupois
but this section throws no light on the
question, since but for the statute
U.OoO pounds might have been consid
ered by custom-house o2b'ials as a ton.
Nor would there seem to be any prac
tice in the district amounting to usage,
since by an ordinance of the late cor
poration of Washington in regard to
the sale of coal, 2.240 pounds is fixed as
a ton, while section 1.130 of the dis
trict revised btatntes makes 2,0o0
pounds of bay or straw a ton. In the
absence of a deSnition of the word
'ton' in the act of March S, 1CC,, no
special importance is to be attached to
section 2.0.j1 of the revised statutes, in
regard to the collection of duties
making 2.240 pounds a ton. as showing
what congress intended hy the use of
that word in the act of March 3, ls'.i;.
For these reasons my opinion is that

"Have you ever heard of our post
office rat?" queried a handier of Cleve
land mail addressing a writer Mr the
Leader. "He is a kleptomaniac, a bom
thief, I g-jess." continued the clerk.
"He steals letters and we cannot keep
him from it. Hi has a taste for wed
ding cake, too. und his conscience
never restrains him from indulging it.
We have set a trap for him repeatedly,
but he U too w ise for us." The clerk

of the distinguished rodent. "He hides
among the rubbish cf the room," ha
aid. "and has several means of ready
access to the outside worid. He takes
charge of affairs when w e are out. The
olher day he was sen sitting upright
on the table nibbling at a package of
hickory nut kernels which happened
to be sidc-traeked during transit
through the mails. Not loner ago a box
of wedding cake got lost. A card was
mailed to the sender to come and cor
rect the address She called and when
we looked for the package it was gone.
A feeling something like that which
crept over old Mother Hubbard when
she went to tlie cupboard to get her
poor dog a bone' gradually gained pos
se -sion of us. The rat had made eft
with the cake, and the closest sean.li
revealed oniy scattered fragments of
precious sweetmeat. We thought for
a long time that some in-juisitive per
son was taking certain missives, but
our suspicions proved to be unfounded.
One day we discovered several of the
mi-sing letters near a hole made by the
rat under a desk. He had taken them
as far us he could, and then had bade
hem good-by."
The rat makes the correcting cItU's

there that stray letters and packages

A ZONE RAILWAY SYSTEM.
Kxmll In Tripling to FutMcr Buai
bmi In Hang-arT.
A remarkable revolution in railway
traveling was brought about in Hun
gary some years ago by the introduc
tion of cheap fares and the zone sys
tem, says the London News The fares
were lowered front about 40 to SO per
cut., and the country divided into
zones having Buda-I'esth as their cen
ter. The first zone is fifteen miles
broad, the second to the twelfth ore
eaeh nine miles, the twelfth and thir
teenth fifteen niiies aud the fourteenth
includes all the rest of the country.
The fare for each zone is 10d. first
class, td. second and M third; while
the rates are reduced one-half Mr
parties of workmen.
What the new system has accom
plished is shown by a report just issued
by the Hungarian government, dealing
with the working of the state railways
for the years IVjI and UJi From
!.U),(xtO passengers carried in Iss?, the
year previous to the introduction of
the zone system, the number has risen
to over 2i.500.000, an inerea.se of 10
p.-r cent. This result is almost entire
ly due to the new system, the aegment
r;;:..:i being six times greater than cn
the Austrian railways during the same
p-riod.
The receipts have improved to the
cr.tentof 40 per cent. The third-class
carriages were abolished last year on
c:q:ress trains running beyond the
.short distances The growth of the
trade in the first zone by the ordinary
trains bus been as much as C27 per
ce!.t, niostiy ia the third-class. It is
noteworthy that the first and four
teenth zones or the shortest and long
est distances give the largest results
both in the number of persons carried
a:td in the receipts. .
The Sacred serpent ft r.grpt.
A general belief in the divine charao
terand healing powers of the sacred
serpent is to be met with all over Ezypt.
F.ven the myths which the old Egyp
tians associated with the snake are still
prevalent Egyptians of all classes
Ui'.l believe that when a serpent
jtows old wings grow out of its body,'
and that there are serpents which kill
by darting flames in the victim's face.
How old such beliefs are in this coun
try need not be repeated to those who
have seen the picture ia the tombs cf
the kings at Thebes The seref, or
"flying serpent," and the snake from
whose mouth 11a mea issue are among
the commonest of the figures painted
on their walls. It is not, however, as
Kakodaemon, hut as Agathodaemon,
that the divine serpent of ancient
Kzypt still maintains his chief hold on
the belief of the Egyptian people. Each
house sti 1 has its harras, or "guardian
i nake." commonly known as the har
sas el bet, 'the protector of the house."
The snake is fed with milk and eggs,
and care is taken not to do it harm.

Already the uir is filled with rumorr
respecting the exposition of IiK)0, uvs
a I'aris letter in the Philadelphia Tel
graph. Already are the moans of the
Parisians rending the air beforehand,
for it is a Parisian peculiarity to detest
world's fairs in general, and those held
in their own city in particular. Vfuota
a miserable native in heartrending ac
cents: "Whenever there is a great ex
hibition all onr taxes go ur tempo
rarily we are told, but never by an ac
cident do they go down. I paid three
hundred and eighty francs in T7,
and for the same premises my taxes
are now three thousand and odd. We
are overrun by tourists; vce are crowd
ed out of all the theaters; the cabmen
all go on strike; the cafes all put up
their prices. For several years before
all the streets one wants to go through
are closed to the public because the ex
hibition is being prepared, and for at
least a year after the same streets are
closed because the exhibition is being
demolished. All your country corn-ins
come to town aud expect to stay with
you in an apartment you have always
found too cramped for the require
ments of yonr own family; and if I am
not lucky enough to be dead I shall
certainly move away before this large
misfortune falls npon this unhappy
piace."
Happily all Paris is not 60 pessi
mistic as my friend, and the architects
are busy with their plans. All the
ground comprised in the exhibition of
's9 is to be included, as well as the por
tion of Cour la Heine that will inclose
the Palais l'lndustrie and its surround
ing gardens We are to have an addi
tional bridge across tho Seine which
will open a vista from the Place de la
Concorde straight through to the palace
of electricity, which is to be the cen
tral feature. Our rulers are greatly
bored about the Eiffel tower; but as
the concession was granted for twenty
years it lias got to ttand; but the arch
itects say consolingly that they will
try and hide it as much as possible.
The sight of it vexes p,etic souls,
and Francois Coppcc, the author, who
is by way of being, (esthetic, wrote
a formal protest to the government at
the time of its erection to request that
the plan should not be carried out on
the ground that the Eiffel tower, being
ngly and ungainly, and furthermore
being visible from his windows inter
fered with his flow of inspiration.
However, the tower was buiit never
theless, anil, although wc are deadly
tired of seeing it about, Coppcc con
tinues to write, so evidently his Cow
of inspiration was only impeded and
not permanently plugged up. Further
more, we are to have a branch exhibit
at Versailles which will rouse that
s-leepy little town from its chief occu
pation of listening to tho grass grow
ing in the fctreets In the splendid
park of Versailles, on cither side of
the grand canal, is to be the retro
spective history of gardens throughout
tiie ages.
Tho Hanging Gardens of Babylon,
that were counted among the wonders
of the world, arc to be reproduced in

gardens of difTcrent epochs The
Grand canal itself is to be Used for the
exhibition of oue of the Coating gar
dens cultivated by the Aztecs in Mex
ico before the Spanish conquest of the
country. Tho center of the canal is to
be occupied by a large island built on
piles with bridges connecting it with
the two shores which is to have
aquaria, grottoes and cascades with
cages for aquatic birds, and the great
sheet of water is to be additionally or
namented by an exact reproduction of
the little fleet of elegant boats that
Louis XIV. launched on its surface
when Versailles was first built. All
this sounds most iit-posing; but we are
devoutly thankful that the time for it
has not yet come. It is like the story
of the philosopher who was to teach
the king's donkey to speak in a year's
time, on pain of death, ond never
lothered about the penalty on the
ground that the king might die,
the donkey might die, or he
himself might die, and whatever hap
pened he had a year to the good. So,
as we have seven year3 before ns, we
do not Jet as a rule wail abont future

Tbo Salt of tho Sea.
According to a computation of th
I'.erg und lluettenruaennisehe Zcitung
the amount of salt in the sea waters of
the globe, if extracted, would be great
er in mass than the land, so far as it
appears above the surface. The seas
it says cover 73 per cent of the earth's
tejrface, estimated at 9.UG0.0OO (Ger
man) square miles The percentage of
chlornatrium in the sea is the same
at all depths. Assuming that the av
erage depth of the sea is a half (Ger
man) mile there are then 3.400,000 cu
bic miles of sea water. A cubic mile
of sea water contains on the average,
abont 25 kilograms of salt. The 3,400,
000 cubic miles of sea water would,
therefore, contain f 5,000 cubic miles of
distilled pnre salt. There is, there
fore, little danger of a salt famine is
the rather logical deduction of the
writer.

NO AFTERNOON,
Morning aad Evening Salutation la tho
National Capital.
f trangers to Washington often re
mark npon the custom of addressing
one at all times of the day by the uni
form salutation: "Gojd morning." It
souud odd to a westerner to hear one
address him with "Good morning" at
five o'clock iu the afternoon.
This custom, says the Indianapolis
Journal, is as old as the congress of
the United States and the hours of ex
ecutive business ia the variois depart
ments. It is said to be directly due to
the morning hour in congress. The
standing rules of the tv.o houses of
congress provide for a -morning hour,"
whieh extends from twelve to two
o'clock, and that provision has made it
common to refer to -morning busi
ness" in congress, v. hich occur. before
the "regular order." Frequently the
regular order is not resumed, an-! the
morning hour is extended until f.-nr or
five o'clock, especially in the latter
days of congress and when there is a
great Jam of business. In the executive
departments reference is made to the
"morning work" during the entire day.
This Is all, of course, oQk'ial parlance
The custom has grown to that it ex
tends throughout social life and ia ell
sorts of private business nntil it is
morning until all government business
isat an end in Washington. When the
sun goes down and twilight sets In it
is "Good evening." It is never after
noon in tiie national capital.
Tho lloatftwain's WliUtle.
Nothing on board a United Ktat
man-of-war strikes the visiting lands
man more forcibly than the seemingly
almost constant sound of the boat
swain's whistle. That instrument
sends its thin and wandering strain of
i .i , i , .

Seal new jersey applejack.
Not Mack of It m tbo Market. Bat Adul
teration rieattful.
One doesn't hear so much as former
ly about "Jersey lightning." This
6ays the Pittsburgh Dis-patcu' Isn't be
cause applejack is not made any more,
tfuite the contrary. The local name
I has departed because the juice of the
apple, which, distilled by the fanners
in the northern part of the state, pro
duced the lightning effect, is now
known throughout the country. Jer
sey applejack, or apple whisky or
brandy, as it is called in some of the
1 fashionable city hotels and barrooms
is now among the brands on hand in
every well-regulated cafe.
" It is curious how applejack got its
popularity. Originally it was strictly
local in its manufacture and use. The
fanners of Sussex and Warren counties
were the sole producers and the sole
consumers. They knew the mellow
effect of that distillation. They knew
how, with a lump or two of sugar and
a touch of water, to make it palatable.
The instant effects npon the brain and
then upon the tongue were discovered
half a century ago. The permeating ef
fects and the mellowing tendencies in
creased with age. Consequently every
hospitable farmer in these parts kept
his demijohn of ten or fifteen-year-old
"apple," as the case might be. Farm
ers' sons emigrated to Newark and
other parts of the state. Others started
In business in JCew England or out
west. They all sent home for apple
jack and sounded its praise. Friends
sampled the golden-hued liquor and
relished it. Gradually the stimulant
that humorists styled Jersey lightning
ceased its local features and became
more universal. To-day yon can get
New Jersey app.ejack, or something
labeled that way, in the prominent
cafes in any of the larger cities Plen
ty of so-called applejack is for sale;
but much of it is made np of all sorts
of ingredients. It is fiery enough to
npset the brain and will intoxicate all
too rapidly, but the delicate flavor of
the real article is missing, and the man
familiar with the taste will not take a
second drink.
RICHEST FAMILIES IN AMERICA.
Tho Aston and tbo Vandrrbllt Control
Hetwrrn Then Hundred ot Million.
A careful estimate of the wealth of
the Astors puts it at $-.200,000,000, and
this makes the family the richest in
the I'nitod States What is more, tho
wealth of tho Astors is in such shapo
that it cannot but increase, for the
reason that it is ;-r--- ' ,'cd Xew Vork
city real estate, some of which, accord
ing to tho Washington Star, has with
in the past ten years increased in
value 700 per cent, and is still appre
ciating. The policy of the Astors has
always Wen to buy real estate on the
lines along which New York is now
extending and hold it for a rise, rare
ly selling, however, but building and
renting instead. The result is that
the Astor properties are in valuable
lands in brick, iron, stone and mortar
instead of in fluctuating stocks and
bonds the fixed value of which is al
ways uncertain. As a family the Van
derbilts stand nc:t to the Astors in the
matter of wealth, aud their riches
most be considered in the agirrcgate
and in common, since their individual
fortunes ar pooled, so to speak. You
will often see Cornelius Vanderbilt.
the present head of the house, quoted
as being wort h $-..J.0O0.0K. Of course
he is not worth any such amount Cor
nelius has mo: t of the Vanderbilt mil
lions but those vi ho know say that ho
is personally not worth above SiO.OOO,
0J3, if ns much.
It must bo rem?mVred thct tho late
William II. Vanderbilt had a large
family to divide his millions among,
and fo the shares in the end were not
so large as some reople thought them.
Resi les there is a disposition i'uo
part of the calculators who love big
figures to give the Vanderbilts credit
for owning outright their great rail
road system, when, as a matter of fact,
thousands of stockholders share in tb
o wnersh ip.

At a recent auction in New York of
the collection of foreign stamps of Paul
Strochlin, of Geneva, Switzerland, the
various issuesof the confederate states
brought very high prices The gen
eral issues and department stamps
found quick buyers A set pf agricul
tural department; stamps sold for S10.80,
executive S-1.C5, justice S23. A So
stamp, after some spirited bidding,
was knocked down at tC7.50. The lo
lal stamps of the confederacy, to
which as relics of the war a certain
historic value attaches brought the
following prices: Athens, tin., $."35;
Danville, Va,, 81 0; Fredericksburg 10
tent stamp, f:;C; two Knoxvides
stamped envelopes and 572 re
spectively; Lenoir, N. C. 501; Lynch

151.5; Marion. Va., & very fine specimen
on a letter, $501. A great many of the
stamps sold were bought by English
dealers.
An Aversion ftr Water.
An interesting incident of wild ln-ast
life was witnesrod by a hunter ia
Asotin county, Wa-.hington, recently.
A deer came bounding down the steep
side of a bare, rocky hill on the edge of
the Snake river, just above the mouth
of the Grande Konde, closely followed
by a big mountain lion. Thn buck
plunged headlong into the river and
swam for dear life toward the farther
shore. The big cat stopped short at
the water's edge, put its paw tagrily
but gingerly into the water, and then
drew back and watched the deer gain
the opposite bank in safety and dis
appear in the woods. ith a disap
pointed snarl the lion bounded away
CALIFORNIA IN ICS3,
It J?m1 l.oth I)rprcMtoTi and C'uqho for
Congratulation.
Fays a San Francisco letter to tho
New York Tribune: The retrospect of
the year in California does not show
the -isual gains in business and the
customary progress in the material de
velopment of the state. About the
only increase in crops is found iu hop,
of which 4S.003 bales were shipped this
year, a gain of 9,000 bales over last
year. There has also been a substan
tial increase ia the gold yield, the out
put for this year being S13,G0O,0OO, a
gain of about ?2,000,0oa From all in
dications gold mining will have a big
boom the coming year, as hundreds of
mines that have not been worked for
ten years will be reopened and new
properties developed. The wine men
have had a good year, as there has re
cently been an unexpected demand for
wine and brandy. The decree e iu
bank clearings probably serves as the
best index to the financial depression
on this coast. This ilccrcase amounts
to f lOO.GOO.OM. Keal estate transao
tions in this city also fell from 2!,0:K,
000 to $13, 700.000. The grain shipments
were heavy, but tho low price made the
total returns smaller. The railroad
freight movement surpassed the rec
ords of all previous years, the increaso
over the previous year being 47,003.00!)
pounds which would fill 21,704 car.s.
The sslmon and cot S-diing industries
were both prosperous.
Transparent thtbor.
Tha manufacture of transparent
leather, an article which has lately at
tracted some attention, may be ac
complished, according to the Magazin
Pittoresque, in the following manner:
After the hair has been removed from
Vhe hide, the latter, tightly stretched
ipon a frame, is rubbed with a mix
lure consisting of one thousand parts
glycerine, two parts salicylic acid, two
parts yicrio acid, and twenty-five p;.rts
boric acid, lleforo the hide is abso
lutely dry it is placed in a room
which the rays of the sun do not pene
trate, nud is saturated with a solution
of bichromate of potash, and, on tba
hide becoming very dry, there is ap
plied to its surface an alcoholic solu
tion of tortoise shell, by which
transparent aspect is obtained. The
leather is of an exceedingly flexible
character, and is used for the manu
facture of toilet articles, though it li
claimed to be fairly adapted to thft
production of toot gear.
