A lllrd'a nevenge.
A lady who was ono day watching a
pair of redstarts as they wotked in a
troo was startled by a violent commo
tion that arose in tho shrubbery hard
by. Catbirds seronmod, wrens scolded
and tho robins shonted "Qniekl" with
oil their might. A chipmunk was drag
ging a baby catbird by tho leg from its
nest nnd all the birds round about had
como to help ninko a row about it, In
cluding a Baltimore oriole. The scream
ing and the swish of wings as the birds
darted about made tho squirrel abandon
its prey and then the commotion sub
sided as quickly as it had risen. All the
birds but the oriole went about their
business elsewhere. Tho oriole had not
said a word so far, and beyond tho 001111
tounuuing tho hubbub by his prcsonco
had had no part in it.
Tho squirrel, having dropped tho
baby catbird, cocked itself upon n limb
and begnu to ohattor in a defiant way,
whilo the oriole sat not far away look
ing at it, but doing nothing else. Bnt in
a few moments the squirrel left its seat
and ran out on tho limb it had been sit
ting on until it had to use core to keep
its hold, nnd then the oriole's opportu.
nity for a terrible assault had 001110.
Flashing across the space he struck the
chipmunk in ono eye with his sharp
pointed bonk, and then turning instant'
ly struck the other eye in a like manner.
Quivering with pain, the squirrel let go
the limb and dropped to the ground,
Whore it rolled and strugalod about ap
parently In the throes of death. The
oriole flew away to his favorite elm,
whore he song in his most brilliant fash
ion. The lady put the squirrel out of
its misory and then saw that the oriolo
had destroyed both eyes. Chicago Rec

An interesting instance of color mim
icry in spiders has beou observed iu the
south of France. The spiders of that re
gion when in search of prey bide in the
convolvulus flowers. It has bean noticed
that a white variety of spiders frequent
ed the white flowers, a greenish colored
variety made the green flowers his home,
and a pink one lived principally in the
pink flowers. The colors of the three
varieties were at first supposed to be
permanent, but it has recently been dis
covered thnt the color of any one of
these spiders changes within a few days
if the insect be placed in the convolvulus
of a different colored flower from that
which ho has been using as his home.
Four spiders pink, white, green and
yellow in color were all put in a box
together, and within three days all were
white.

it to tlm supremo court, whrro bo repre

"May it please the court, thero is an
old French ndnge which says, 'A man
who is bis own lawyer hath n fool for a

Tho next week the supremo court
pronounced its decision, which was ad

Often she has been told of occurrences

fact would not surprise the psychical

further uncanny proof of the existence

elevator in, say, a five story house,
making B0 or 00 trips a day, will not
exceed $3 or 4 per month. The devices
for operating these elevators have been
so improved that an invalid or a child
can manage thorn. The old lever attach
ment can be dispensed with, and the
elevator ascends or descends on the pres
sure of a button. It will stop only at
each floor and will start only when the

8ACRED RUNNING OXEN.
They Arc the Grenlent f'tirlniillleii Ainont
Ceylnn' Ihmienllralril Animal.
Ono of the greatest curiosities among
the domesticated animals of Ceylon i't
a breed of oat tin known to the zoologist:
as the "sacred running oxen." They
nro tho dwarfs of tho whole ox family,
the largest specimens of tho species nev
er exceeding 11(1 inches, or $ feet ill
height.. Onesent to I he Marquis of Can
terbury in the year I Kin, nnd which Is
still living and believed to be some,
whero near 10 years of age, is only 23
inches high and weights but lull1 J
pounds. In Ceylon they nro nsed for
liuiking quick trips across the country
with express matter and other light
loads, and it is said that four of them
can pull a driver of a two wheeled enrt
and a iiflO pound load of miscellaneous
matter DO to 70 miles a day. They keep
up n constant swinging tiot or run nnd
hnvo been known to travel 100 miles in
a duy and night without either feed or
wnter. No ono knows anything concern
ing tho origin of this peculiar breed of
miniature cattle. They have been known
on tho island of Ceylon mid in other
Bnddliistlo oonntries for more than a
thousand years. Ono story told to ac
count for their origin is to the effect
that they wero originally cattln of the
ordinary height nnd bulk; thnt n Bud
dhistic priest was onco imprisoned In 11
stono building, one half of which was
used for n rattle stable. During the
night ho managed to dislodge ono of the
stones in his prison wall. Tho stone in
question was exnetly 2'd feet square.
It was almost daylight when this
apostle of Buddhii felt the air rush
through the opening ho had made nnd
roalized that he was all hut free. Ho
know thnt ho would bo nnablo to got
ont of tho enemy's country on foot, so
he prnyed that he might bo provided
with a boast of burden that would safely
enrry him to tho homes of the followers
of Buddha. No sooner had ho done this
than one of tho largo oxen which had
been quietly feeding in n stall at his sido
walkod leisurely to the HO inch squnro
opening and miraculously passed
through it.
Tho priest followed nnd mounted tho
now sneredly dwarfed beast and was
soon safo iu his own country. Hineo
that time, so the story goes, there has
been n brood of "saerod running oxen"
iu Ceylon, which never grow too tall to
pass through an opening the size nf
that made In tho prison wall by Bud
dha's representative on the night when
ho miraculously escaped cm the back of
the first of the famous dwarfed oxen.

Recollections of lllamarck'fl Wartime.
Iii tho columns of The Krenzxeitung
Herr Andrae, a well known Conservative
pnlitioian and friend of Prince Bis
marck, gives some interesting recollec
tions of tho period of the war of 1870.
Ho says: "Bismarck rend on the tlth of
July tho speech delivered by tho Duke
of Grammont on tho tlth. Ho was nt
dinner and handed the newspaper to his
wifo, with tho words: 'The Duke of
Grammont must have soon got tired of
his office. I shall, of course, have to ask
for his resignation. ' Later iu tho even
ing, whilo walking in tho park at
Varzin and thinking of tho matter, tho
idon suddenly came to him, 'Napoleon
wants war, nnd Grniumont's speech wns
diotntcd by him. '
"Ho wont to his room, his first thought
being to telegraph to the king, nt Ems,
as follows, 'It would bo best to mobilize
at once, declare war and attack beforo
France is proparcd. ' His nerves were
strung to tho highest tension, nnd he
passed a sleepless night. Lying awake,
thinking, there crossed his mind the
text, 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for
they shall bo called the children of God.
'So that won't do,' he said to himself.
Then all tho political consoquenoos of
his contemplated action became clear to
him, nnd be ended by casting the first
message aside and telegraphing to King
William simply not to pledge himself to
anything with Bonedetti, who, if he be
came pressing, was to be told, 'My min
istor of foroign affairs is at Varzin.' "

pair of boots at a tradesman's house.
The tradesman's wife, accustomed to

after handing him the money for the
boots, to receipt the bill. At this re
quest the lad showed the greatest con
fusion, so that the woman, to reassure
him, said, "Just receipt it, as a matter
of business." Whereupon he wrote
laboriously something on the paper. In
tho evoning, when the tradesman exam
ined the papers on the spiko, he came
upon a bootmnkor's bill, at the foot of
which was written in large letters in a
schoolboy hand, "As a matter of bust

literal interpretation of the demand for
a receipt as a matter of business. West

He Conldnt Explain.
A very small newsboy, who had just
sold his lust paper, leaned against the
Iron lamppost and shouted with all his
lung power: "l'a-1-i-perl Twelvy-clack
pa-i-i-perl Kxtry twelvy-rlack !"
The boy was working overtime, either
from fofeo of habit or because of hts
uatural exuberance. It is not uncom
mon in Calhoun place for a boy to stop
short nnd yell several times, merely to
relievo himself.
It happened that n pedestrian wns at
tracted by tho shouts of the boy against
the lamppost. Ho smiled ns he looked
at tho youngster and then said, "All
right, givo me one of your papers."
That startled tho boy. He looked
sheepishly at tho man, rubbed his hand
into Ins pocket and said, "I am t got
any."
"Didn't I hear you calling a 13
o'clock paper?" ,
"Yes, but I didn t mean" It wns
too much of un explanation. A professor
of psychology who had studied tho laws
of unconscious cerebration might have
told why tho boy stood on tho corner
shouting papers when he had no papers
to sell, but tho boy adopted a less difli-
cult course and rnn away. Chicago

Taking Exercise.
Poor Harry Shelman, the long haired
poet who dressed his entire person to
resemble Buffalo Bill, and who wns, in
fact, startlingly liko tho greatest of
scouts, used to tell me of a literary
friend of his who had a novel method
of taking exercise. His workshop was
on the top floor of his house, far from
tho noiso of tho street, nnd he nsed to
writo about 15 hours a day. He was
not a Howells or 11 Bronsou Howard,
whoso working hours never exceed four
iu any ono day. Ho worked, he labored,
ho toiled. Ho had no timo for n bicycle
and could not nfford a horse. He hated
walking. Run ho could not Swimming
was ont of tho question. Still lie must
havo exorcise. He kept his dictionary in
the basement and his thesaurus in tho
kitchen. As ho used both very often it
was necessary to make many trips down
stairs and up again, and in that way ho
kept himself in splendid physical condi
tion. A visitor once saw him dashing
down stairs like a madman and soaring
up again liko a kito and was distressed

pose hung gracefully down over his

him he asked me to dress his mustache,
giving me my instructions how to do it.
First, I gave it a brilllantine bath and
combed it out. Then I waxed it until
the points stood out on each aide of his
face like bayonets. He seemed very
proud of it and didn't object when I
asked him if I might measure it In
fact, he seemed rather pleased. I took
a .tapeline and found that from tip to
tip that marvelous mustache measured
a trifle over 83 inches. He next asked
me to curl it This was a difficult oper
ation, but after exhausting several curl
ing irons I succeeded in heating a seo-
tion of gas pipe to the proper tempera
ture and finished the job. " Pniladel

A VALUABLE DIME.

Whoever has n (limn of 1 SIM coined
by the San Francisco mint lias n coin
for which 9" hits already U rn oiTered,
and when all the facts are known re
garding its scarcity it is not unlikely
that it will coiiimiind a much higher
premium.
Inquiry nt the mint elicited the in
formation that during the fiscal year of
18H4 only 21 dimes were (joined at tlin
Sun Francisco mint, llow this came
about was told by Chief Clerk Robert
Burnett.
'All undercurrent subsidiary coins

sign now being used when received nt
the subtreasury are not again allowed
to go into circulation, but are sent to
tho mint to bo recomed with the enr-
reut dci.ign. In the course of the year
18U1 wn received a large hum 111 these
coins, bnt having nil ample stock of
dimes on hand it was not intended to
coin any of that denomination in 1SH4.
However, when nearly all of this sub
sidiary coin bullion had been utilized,
we found on our hands a qnnntity that
would coin to advnntnge only into
dimes, and into dimes it wns coined,
making just 84 of them.
"My attention was first drawn to the
matter particularly by the receipt of a
letter from a collector somewhere east
requesting a set of the coins of 1894.
In filling this order I found there were
no dimes nf that date on hand. Subse
quently I received quite a number of
similar letters and in each rase was of
course unable to furnish them.
"Plenty of dimes were coined that
year at Philadelphia and New Orleans
mints, but there are many collectors
who aocumnlute the coinage of each
mint, as each hus iu distinguishing
mark. Those coined here bear a letter S
under the eagle. New Orleans uses th
letter O and Carson City the letter C,
while Philadelphia coins are identified
by tho absence of the letter.
"We receive each year about 50 re
quests from coin collectors for coins,
mostly for those of silver. " anu Fran-

The writer remembers very well to
have heard a very fastidious lady, a
member of the Speed household, say
that, though at that time Lincoln had
none of the polish and gracefulness tn
be expected from those acquainted with
the usages of society, he was one of na
ture's gentlemen because of his kindli
ness of heart and innate refinement
And after saying this she recalled an in

At dinner there was a saddle of mutton.
The servant after handing the, roast
passed a gloss of jelly. Mr. Lincoln took
the glass and ate the jelly from it. The
servant got another glass and passed it
around. Mr. Lincoln noticed that the
others at table merely took a spoonful.
Without embarrassment or apology he
laughed quietly and remarked, "I teem
to have taken more than my tha re, "
and then he went on with hit dinner.
