St. Louis Republic, A Miser's T.itst Wish. A Greek died in tho small town of Caracal, having nlways lived on the alms of his compatriots. Before dying ho made his wife Hx-ear that she would bury him in the dirty old overcoat which ho wore every day. The poor woman had to ask the Greeks of Caracal to help her to provide the costs of the fnheral. A good hearted Greek went to see her in her affliction, and pointing to the body paid he wonld give her a lietter coat to tmry the man in. Then she told him of the dead man's last wish. The Greek, whoso suspicions were awakened, told her that she should certainly not part with the hody before she had well exam ined tho coat, for there must be some particular reason for the request. The widow unpicked the lining of the over coat and found 85,000 francs in bank notes which tho miser wished to take into the grave with him. Vienna Cor. London News. The Hanger of OffirelinldtiiR.

' The Moral In llmtlit. Rather nn odd nccident happened to a young wijinart on Pitrlc row on Friday. She was handsomely dresser1, wearing for a wrap one of tlv ttw 'limbic decked, balloon rigged c.'tiict of velvet, trimmed with fur and lined with colored silk. She was about rrofs hr; I he street when two men seized her mvl bi"(iin pulling and pntting tho precious mp- with their hands. Tho woman wa3 badly nc:; red. turned as whito as a sheet, nnd .:iply stood helpless, gazing nt the nv ie i of the men who wero dnncing about b'r. and whr sho thought were highwaymen trying tt make off with her new winter wrap. Presently the men tipped their huts ant! explained that the garment t hey had beer trenting seemingly so rorghly bad beer ablaze. Sure enough, there was a big ugly, black bole eaten out of the velvet of one of tho front folds. Probably tin wearer in passing some smoker had canght a spark from a cigar or pipe. Sht thanked the gallants who had comn to hei rescuo and then went on her way, hiding as best sho could the damaged part of tlit gnrment. It is a nnestinn whet her t!it moral of this story is that men should not smoke in the street or women should not wear tho new fnngled cape. New York Times. tt Wouldn't Work.

Why the (treat Knstern Fulled. Referring to tho failure of tho Great Eastern, which at the time was attrib uted to her size, in comparison with the success which now attends boats of nearly tho Bame dimensions, how plain now to naval architects, vessel owners and in fart everybody possessing even a limited knowledge of the requirements as to power in large steam vessels is the main cause of failure in the Great East ern. Her power was entirely out of proportion to her great length nnd other dimensions. The dimensions of Atlantic liners are now approaching to nearly tho size of the Great Eastern. The length of the Great Eastern was 680 feet and her horsepower T.O'tO. The new Cunard liner Campania is 020 feet long, but her horsepower will be 80,000, and it is said that the boat which the White Star lino proposes to build at Belfast, Ireland, will be 700 feet long. It is the difference of power to which attention is called, however. Marine Review. Dunlel Larooiit Can Sleep. I met Colonel Dan Lamont on npper Broadway Monday.

Sprang from H unices. Traditions and folklore among the people of mountainous Kentucky are evanescent and vary widely in different localities. It appears that the people aro sprung in part from the early hunt ers who came into the mountains when game was abundant, sport unfailing and living cheap.

When tho new apprentice assumed his duties nt the Turkish bath establishment the mnnager thought ho seemed rather stupid nnd entered into n long explana tion of what ho was to do. Ho particular ly emphasized tho command that the at tendant was to "rub 'em without mercy." Dnring the day the mannger beard a great many complaints from bis patrons that they had lost their personal prop erty. He thought that a sneak thief must have como in to get washed, nnd resolved to bo on tho look out. Ho dis covered nothing, however, though he pecked around most of tho day like an amntenr detective, biding in nil sorts of places. Townrd the time when the new attend ant wns to go off duty, tho latter went into the manager's office nnd liegan be having with much mystery. He walked around like n wet hen, waiting until the coast was clear. When there was none but himself and his chief in the office he tiptoed up to the door nnd locked it. Then he produced from his pockets five gold watches, some diamond rings, a few senrfpins nnd other articles, which he sot forth with grent pride before the manager, who, horrorstruck, recognized tho effects ns belonging to his customers. "You told me to rob 'em without mer cy," said tho delighted novice, "and done it. Do yer think I'll suit, boss?" New York Herald. lltiddtilsm In f.reere. A legend of one of Buddha's earliest pupils tells ns that the young man used to pass the wholo rainy season in his palace surrounded by dancing girls, thiee ho saw a bevy of them asleep in unbecoming attitudes, tmd be woke np and said. "This will never do." So he joined Buddhn. Now, a life of heavy heat, long rainy seasons nnd unceasing dancing girls is very well calculated to bring a man to suicide or to Buddhism. As far as Buddhism means unselfish kindness (nnd it demands a great deal of that from a true disciple), it is exactly as good as any other religion which mnke the same requirement. But as far as it is pedantic, morbid, puerile and superstitious, busy with arithmetical strings of propositions, with austerities, ending in self hypnotism, with an ideal of universal suicide, it is difficult to seo how the natives of a temperate climate can acquiesce in the developed doctrines of Buddhism. Had Gotnnia come to Greece nnd preached at the Olympic games it is unlikely thnt he would have made a single convert. London News. Illlf I'ny for Utile Work. Tho number of accidents which have befallen the big steamship lines bnv been surprisingly few. When mishaps have occurred largo sums have been awarded for comparatively trivial serv ices, such as towing for a day or two. The Hamburg-American liner Suevia, from Now York to Hamburg, broke her shaft off the Irish coast on Jan. 27, 185, and was towed into Queenstown harbor by the tramp steamship Istrian, bound from Boston to Liverpool. The Istrian was awarded $23,250 salvage. The passenger steamship City of Rich mond, from Liverpool to New York, was disabled at sea in November, 1882.

There is something queer about the idea that one's mother could cook better than any other woman who ever lived. Each generation of men, when they reach mid dle life, lauds mother's cooking, and compares it with his wife's cooking to her disadvantage. When that man's boy gets a wife of his own he tells her what a good cook his mother was, and so it goes generation after generation. Now, according to this theory, the art of cooking has been steadily deteriorat ing, but of course this is not true. Won der if a boy's appetite has not something to do with the idea that his mother was the best cook the world ever saw? St. Louis Republic. The Forgotten Part.

The Duke of Shoreditch wanted to tako precedence and sit at the bend of the table, holding thnt he outranked a minister who repre sented merely n nation nnd not a inon nrch, but 1 stood for my rights and re fused to yield. In the gossip column I ranked nil dukes not royal, and said so, and claimed precedence to this one. it couldn't be settled, of course, struggle ns wo might nnd did, ho finally (nnd inju diciously) trying to play birth and an tiquity, nnd I "seeing" his conqueror nnd "raising" him with Adnm, whose direct posterity I was, as shown by my name, whilo he was of a collateral branch, as shown by his and by his recent Norman origin; so we nil processioned back to tho drawing room again nnd bad a per pendicular lunch plate of sardines and a strawberry, nnd yon group yourself and stand up nnd eat it. Here tho religion of precedence is not so strenuous. Tho two persons of highest rank chuck np n shilling; the one that wins has first go at bis strawberry nnd tho loser gets tho shilling.

The salesman eyed his visitor sharply and then said nervouslyt 'Y-yes, sir. W-wait a minnit and I-I'll find it for you.' lie ran into my office and cried out excited ly; 'Mr. Page, there's a man out there with a can of dynamite, and he says he wants a quarter of a million!' 'Well, go tell him I'll be out in a moment,' said L The wild eyed man was still standing in tho center of the store holding out the can when I came out. 'What is it you want, my friend? said I very nervously. "The man was beginning to get angry. 'A quart er vtirmilion,' ho shouted, 'and I want it pretty quick.' 'Will you take a check?"

I stood on tho corner watching bis funeral with the rest of the crowd. I was interested in looking ut tho notables, and I sincerely grioved for the great man's death. But do you know at the moment tho hearse was drawn past me my attention was completely absorbed by some idle inci dent of tho occasion. Only at the lost second did I think: 'There it is again. I cannot even rivet my attention upon him whilo his dead body is passing by."' St. Louis Hopublio, A llrlght Horse and a Clever log. Few telegraphers aro hotter known in Now York than George Mudgult, of the postal ofllco, nnd thero are foxver still who bavo u better fund of stories. Ho tells of a certain horse who accompanies a Scranton (Pa.) lineman on his trips. This horse can see a broken insulator quicker than his rider, and always stops when ono is reached. It is hardly neces sary to add that the horse can telegraph with his feet, but no one knows what he "signs." Tho same lineman owns a dog who can toll by the bell attached to the district messenger register when a certain firm rings a call The dog at once runs to the store, takes the message in his mouth and delivers it safely at the telegraph office.
