Hoar a Younf Woman Was allocked by Her American Mweetueart, A friend of mine from New York, who iui visiting In the oily lust win ter, became ungugod to a young woinun bulonging to orru of tlio old fiimilU'O, Hiiys a writer in the CoaiiiopollUin. Kx- eenting a fuw ruoiiwnls' ehut with his sweetheart ot the low buy window on the titrect tliu yuiing niun in quextion IukI nei eritiokii one word alone to his llaiieee. To an American, epeeially New yorker, this peculiar state of af fnli'H wiui inexplliuililu and the warmer liisufTectiiiii grew the more unLT.ihuable licrame this restraint. I iiiiilly, one evening when the object of his devo tion wiw left ulonc in the window, mam ma excusing herself for u moment to obtain a drink of water, nothing seemed more natural to him t han that his hand should Heck hers. liefore the or fel low had been able to give it tliut gentle prcusure which to lovers menus more than a thouwind words his sweetheart, shocked beyond expression, rushed awny Irom the window crossing her self, as Is the custom of the women nt the flirt Indieution of tbe approach of tlio. dread earthquake or any other danger or evil., The next evening when the amazed American attempted to explain that an ojigoged couple In his country were permitted not only to clasp hands but even to kis each other, the young woman vowed that Bhe would never leave the peaks of the Andes tor such n wicked country. , BATHROOMS A LA MODE. Btra. John Jacob A. tor and Mr. Oeorne tionld Uuvo Mno One. Milady's bathroom lias grown to be In Its luxurious perfection a triumph of nrtistic cleverness., says the New York Journal. The skill of the architect Is employed for special designs, and there is no limit to the decorations. Besides the regular tub, which Is beautiful as omnnicntal porcelain and silver can muke it, there is a sitz bathtub with spray and wave attachment and other apparatus to suit the taste unci conven ience of the owner. In some instances the room is lighted by skylight or win dows of stained glass ill exquisite do tigiiH of water nymphs and goddesses. Tn many ths beautiful works of art both In fresco and oil painting and rtnlunry In marble and bronze, repre sent a small fortune, and a linn exhibi tion of these treasures would oreate a nrofound sensation in nrtistic circles. Willi these voluptuous surroundings :;nd tho delicate atmosphere from the perfumed waters, the whole is less sug gestive of the Scriptural Injunction "Wash and be clean." than "Steep thy sense in luxury." Not the most ex travagant, for where one has plenty of money tliercls no extravagance in put ting large sums of it. in circulation, but the one representing the most lavish expenditure is probably that of Mrs. lohn Jacob Astor, while n close Becond !s that of Mrs. George Gould. BULL AGAINST RHINOCEROS. A Terrlflo Battle In the Land of the Zulu. When I was on the Zulu frontier, said a traveler recently, I stopped for a week with a native, a splcudid fellow, who had a fine farm. Among other ani mals he had a young bull, called Hulo, which he and his children fondly be lieved could vanquish any beast on earth. Hulo was a great pet and not iui the least, vicious, so I was surprised on tbe second evening of my stay to see Hulo snllllng tbe air and pawing the grorind in evident rage. I was about to ask what It meant when out ot the forest came an ugly rhinoceros. My host and I hurried for our guns and Hu lo dashed nt the beast with dauntless courage. A rush, a crash, and the bull was hurled SO feet. Fortunately the horn of his enemy had not caught him and the first rush had taught, him a les son. Hu horns were like sharp swords, but the hide of a rhinoceros Is remark ably thick, and the young bull soon showed signs of fatigue. So he resort- cu to strategy, and doclgeo behind his clumsy foe, giving him viciousstabs in the thighs. This was rapidly weaken ing the rhinoceros, and just at this time we found some steel bullets (leaden bul lets having no effect on this animal) and quickly completed the work Hulo begun. Then the bull stood on the car cass and bellowed his joy. LAUGHTER A OISEASE. i Am Aetaal Can of a Man Who Begaa Laughing from III. Tom Upward. , Do you laugh? Then you have been attacked by a disease, for laughter Is a disease. This has been proven by nu merous cases which have come undar the notice of eminent, neurologists. They have declared even moderate laughter a symptom of nervous hys teria, , ' .. ':' 1 ." . . ' ' Fcople have died of laughter. From Austria comes a curious account of a man suffering from a nervous disease that manifested Itself in paroxysms of lnughtcr. The patient was 30 years ot ago and had been subject for three yeans to fits of lnughtcr, which occurred at first overy two or thrco months, grad ually Increasing in froquenoy to a dozen or move a day. Tho attacks occurred especially between nlno o'clock in tho evening and 0: 30o'clock in the morning, and in greatest frequency between five and 0:30 o'clock. In tbe intervals be tween the attack., and Immediately be fore and afterward, the man. was per fectly well. The attacks commenced from a tleklin;? srncatloit arising from tbe toes of the left foot. The patient would full to the ground, where lie could lio down. At the height of tbe attack the patient first r.mlleil and then laughed aloud without any apparent cauae for tbe csceoslve merriment. Tho entire act occupied nbouttwo minutes. SNAKE SUICIDE. A Battler with Three range HharBM On Ilia Mortal Colt. A United States cavalryman, sta tioned at Fort Meade, 8. D writes to Forest and Stream as follows in regard to the self-destruction of a three-fauged rattlesnake: . "As to the suicide of the creature, I nm forced to ask for an explanation. Tbe snake at first sight, coiled up in the usual manner for a prime strike, made a vicious lunge at my legging, then drew back and closely scrutinized me from hnt to shoe. Instantly a change of expression came over his features, and ferocity gave way to a look that might have been born of dis gust and resignation. I watched him closely, not knowing what might be bis next move. He suddenly astonished me by plunging headlong into the Hclle Fourche. Motionless he sank, and lay at full length at the bottom. I con tinued to watch him until the last ves tige of his reptillous breath had risen to the placid surface in a pearly bub ble, and then with tbe aid of a stick I raised him from the water, placed him in. the sunshine and satisfied myself that life was extinct. I had never known or heard of a rattler taking to water, and here I was confronted by the plainest case of suicide by drowning in broad daylight. I have since, then lost all faith in snakes. I have adopted and discarded every theory that might offer a solution in this case, and am now driven to the belief that this snake de liberately suicided because it had com mitted the blunder of wasting a well meant three-fanged strike on a United States cavalryman. Hereafter I shall travel incognito in those parts." . WIDOW QUITE PHILOSOPHICAL. Pastor's Condolences on Her Husband's Death Very Oraclon.tr Acknowledged. A North side Lutheran pastor recent ly assigned to a fashionable congrega tion is wondering whether hereafter it will be policy for him to offer con dolences when young matrons of his dock lose their husbands, or forever keep bis peace. He is very much per"- turbed over un incident which occurred quite recently, says the Chicago Chron icle. Some time lostsummer and before he hud been assigned to this particular church the invalid husband of one of bis prominent church members went to tbe far west in the hope that a change of climate might restore him to health. Dut the raritied atmosphere of the mountains instead of benefiting the in valid, who was a consumptive, rather hastened the progress of the disease and within a very few weeks he died. Last week tbe young widow returned. What more natural than that the par son should offer his sympathies to tbe bereaved one. , "You have my sincerest sympathy,'' he said to the young woman. "But, after all, you have this consolation that the dear one is now past all suffering and probably much happier." iou are too kind, parson," answered the young widow. "Indeed, he lasted much longer than I thought he would. I expected he would go much sooner. It was a hopeless case." Such a philosophic view pf tie case rather startled the good man. It came so unexpectedly that it left him noth ing more to say and he beat as hasty retreat as he could. ;i JAPAN'S EARTHQUAKES. Voleante Upheaval. In the Depths ot : ' Oeean. The northeast const of Hondo, the largest of the Japanese islands, extends nearer than any other land to the tremendous submarine hole in the earth's crust known as the Tuscarora Deeps, says Scribner's, This is the deep est part of the ocean so far as men know of; it is almost as deep as the topmost peak of tbe Himalayas is high. Throughout its hundreds ot miles of width and breadth there are submarine volcanoes. The seismic philosophers think that through some volcanic up heaval in these depths earthquake vi brations were transmitted along the ocean bottom to the shore, and a sudden rise of the wnter's level sent the tidal wave on its errand of destruction. The earthquake shocks, which travel at a rate of speed varying from two to twen ty miles a second, reached the shore first. They were mild for quaky Ja pan, and it was not until 8:30 o'clock in the evening, nn hour and a half later, that the slower-moving waves of water were announced by portentous boom ing sounds. Only four miles away from the coast fishermen were unaware of tiie presence of any extraordinary wave. But when the on-moving volume of water readied the steep sides of the sea bottom and mounted up to the shal low places, the wave grew to a height of 20 to AO feet and burled itself Into the Inlets and bays of the hapless 1-tnd, overwhelming, with contemptuous ease, the feeble dikes which Uie Japanese fishermen and rlcs-pkuiters hod built to defeat! their tow-tjlaf honwa, . . , ABOVE THE HOTEL SERVANTS. New Arlatocrser of Help Which Live. Apart la Big Uoeeelrle. With the advent of the big new ho tels uptown there has arisen a now, aristocracy, which Is about as amusng as most American aristocracies are.. lt Is tbe aristocracy, of help. It wears Its masters' and mistresses' clothing, eats in a dining-room by itself and, trying to ape the manners of its employes, gives an exhibition to amuse gods and men. I'assi ng t he d ining-room inhabited by these haughty ones recently a reporter heard a snatch, of tho conversation in dulged in by the knights and ladies ot the boudoir, these gentlemen's and la dies' indies: . ' "Kindly pawse the button. v "Beg pahdong." ., "A little of the butter. If you please." "Why, certongly. ; It's a little passe), that butter." , "Indeed. Doyou think so? I thought there was something off color in the taste, dont you know." "Anything going on in town, Tom?" "Not a dean thing, me boy, not a dern thing." "Your mawster goin' abroad this year?" . ; . ' "Me oh, you mean. AIHe. Yes, I dessay. He . usually goes to get his closet, you know. Deucld good dresser, Allie an' juBt me own size, too but don't know much. , Ah! if I had his allowance, now!" "You'd cut a widenu, James, tee bee." "Well, I'd try and not disgrace me liume, Miss Marrie, haw haw." "I heah the suwants are kicking up a devil of a row over their grub. Poor creaturesl I'd rather die right off than be a hotel suvvanr. However, they're mostly Irish them as isn't Germans so it don't make much diffence what you feed 'em. Anything1 with potatoes, I guess. Haw, haw," "Hee, ihee." And so, with light converse and bright raillery, the aristocracy of help bright ens the tedium of dinner. N. Y. World. BLIND. BUT TOO GAY. - Uofortonate Who Eloped with Another SlghUeee Man'. Wife. . . The outdoor poor department gives annually a small sum ot money to those afflicted with blindness, says the New York World. "I've come for my pension, sir," said nn applicant lecently to one of Superin tendent 1 '.lake's assistants. "There's no money here for you," re plied the asistant. "And let me give you a tip, you won't get another dollar from this department." "Oh, my; oh. my; do not say that," pleaded the blind man. "I'm poor; you'll admit that, won't you?" "Yes; I think you are." ' . "And blind, too; isn't that so?" "Yes, you are both poor and blind." "Then hand over the money, please," demanded the man, "becaur? under the law I come under both conditions." But the clerk shook his head in the negative. j : 1 "You know well enough why you can't get the money," he said, "there port against you reads that vo- not respectable." ' "Now I kuow what you are driving at," sighed the blind man, "but what has that to do with it?" . "Everything," was the reply. "A man who. elopes with another blind man's ' wife is not fit to have, a pension." And that settled it. , Defense of Olbriltnr, v -t. . Since the invention of long-range rifle guns the fortress of Gibraltar, in every sense of the word; controls the entrance to the Mediterranean, for at the nar rowest part of the strait there are only IS miles between Europe and Africa, , and the guns of the fortress can deliver shots and sells if necessary on the African shore. The military authori ties of Gibraltar, however, do not de pend upon the guns of the fortificJv tions for blocking the Mediterranean, for at Gibraltar there is always sta tioned a fleet of powerful ships which! cun be called into service to assist in defending the strait against the naval forces of a foreign power. . Sanity Proved by X Rath A Hamburg young man has just had his sanity proved by the Roentgen rays. He declared ten years ago that he had a bullet in his head, which he fired into it trying to commit suicide. lie com plained of pain, and, as he attacked his keepers and the doctors could find no trace of a wound, was locked up as at dangerous lunatic. The Roentgen rays have now shown the exact place of the bullet.. . .if i Vttrtoma Natives. in The Benozy, who occupy a densely wooded country among the hills of Bemarahav jump from tree to tree, just like monjreys, and are not easily fol lowed, inasmuch as their territory is exceedingly rocky. ,T.hey are very" timid, and it is said that they die of fright when captured. ; 1 v Sent for by the Qaeon .
