Mn rvhnnnila can alwavg be dlS- W " " Hngulshed by having few of tbe char acteristics of ordinary barks. fill Edwin Arnold taaaeen the "Light of Asia" and baa married her. Other Ylsltors to Aala will be disappointed. Emperor William seems to have pretty well used up the merman constl tutlon and Is now running things on tbe by-laws. Uow many statesmen atart to climb the ladder of fame direct, and the first thing shift Jt to merely get on the feuce? ' A Boston woman who died receutly had more than 124,000 stowed away In her bustle. Pretty good fluuuclal back ing for a woman. A Boston typewriter w;.r advertises for a position Hays that she la "neither pretty nor frivolous." Probably that Is why she Is advertising. A New York wedding guest who In slNted on klMHlug the bride the other night was shot by the bridegroom. But be was half shot at the outset. Corn has been LUggesled as a ta tlomil floral emblem, but under the cir cumstances w heat seems more fitting. In this case the grain suggests the Hour. ' The Grand Army, which reached high-water mark In 1853 with a total of 4ij3,i24 members, haa now decreased to 310,45a It Is stilt a great, but a van iHhlug, host. A Western preacher puts It this way to his congregation: "When I look at my congregation I ask, Where are the poor? and when I count the collection 1 ask, Where are tho rich?" A Canadian court bas decided the val ue or a kins to be twenty cents, utterly forgetful of the fact than when young folks go to court, under the right cir cumstances, kisses are priceless. It Is announced that the French will attempt to build a steamer to break r I Atlantic records. If the French are as fus' on tbe sea as they are said to be on land tbe records probably will have to go. The Chicago woman who married her divorced husband receutly for tbe third time bas couvluced blin now that she can get free from blm whenever she wants to do so, and that lesson prob ably will not be lost on blm. It Is about time for the papers to quit caricaturing Uncle 8am as a tall, gaunt, ungainly, Ill-dressed person, with loud breeches and necktie. lie is not as green as represented and the dully re prints are monotonous and annoying. Another United States ship has peace fully slid uinm a muilbonk. If the sup ply of ships hold out every shoal, reef and sandbar In our waters will be per manently, If somewhat expensively, in dicated to mariners by the presence thereon of a vessel of the new navy. Tbe late Henry W. Sago, the million aire philanthropist, waa tho founder of the Hugo public library In Bay City, Mich. It l needless to add that there aro no public libraries roaming around loose founded by Russell Sage, who Is a millionaire, but not of philanthropic persuasion. Try to keep clear of prejudice, and be willing to. alter any opinion you may hold when further light breaks tipoii your mind. The man Is cither clever beyond precedent or weak 1m yond measure who never sees reasons to change bis judgment of men and things. Every charitable organisation should be nn organization chiefly for the pur pose of giving employment to people out of work. There Is always a great deal of work to bo done, of one sort or another, nnd the self-resicctlng poor are always rendy to earn their bread. Ev erywhere, Idleness should be discour aged. The London newspaper that has been dropping tho letter "u" lu words like lulsr and color and spelling "program" without the "me," Is now overwhelmed with protests from renders against this surrender to a demoralising Amerlcau Ism In spelling. Such butchery of the English tongue, they argue, should ifih-er bo condoned. robbery. From stealing a trnln to steal lng a railway Is only one step, and .t tbe railway companies of the West want possession of their roads they will soon be compelled to adopt some sensible and effective method of pro tecting their trains. Machines keep themselves In power by saving tbe people a lot of trouble. A democracy calls upon every man to do his share of government. Political war fare Is a chronic condition. It Is not a jicrsoiially perilous content, but It In volves labor, and tho people send "sub stitutes" and the substitutes are the "machines." To break the machine In volves trouble, and It often holds pow er for years simply because the laziness of the people Is slowly overcome. Blueo the people are the source of all power, It Is no use to blink at their responsibil ity for Its abuse. We aro pained to learn by the London Vanity Fair that "tho queen empress" Is dissatisfied with the course of the United States and "holds almost pessi mistic views In regard to the stability and future of the republic." After that we suppose the United States might as well put up Its shutters and go out of business. If Mrs. Victoria disapproves of us there Is little use lu trying to keep a good opinion of ourselves. Thanks to the encouragement which Emperor William bas accorded to the practice of dueling, It Is now being adopted by the medical profession lu Germany. A couple of physlcluns sum moned lu consultation became Involved at the bedside of a patient In so violent a dispute with regard to the character of the malady and of Its treatment that they concluded to fight the matter out. The conflict took place on the outskirts of Bonn, on the Rhine, one of the com batants, Dr. Fisher, receiving a bullet In the chest, which killed III in In stantly. The heat of competition and the overcrowding of trades and professions Is the subject of anxious consideration among young men and their well-wishers; but the fact remains that every where ore places culling for the satis factory occupant. In a large town lu one of the populous Middle States three congregations are vainly searching for acceptable pastors; two young doctors, returned from careful Instruction and practice In foreign hospitals, have. In spite of dire predictions to the con trary, built up large practices; and a manufacturer In the same town de clares that he bus two positions of five thousand dollars' salary each which be Is anxious to fill. Nor Is the situation In this town unique. Mediocrity Is not wanted, but In every line of work ex ceptional ability Is In Increasing demand. A Parisian whosusiiects that the food or drink which he has purchased Is adulterated, can have the article anal ysed free of cost at the municipal In boratory. If Impurities are found, the city undertakes tho prosecution of the tradesman, and after conviction the of fender Is not ouly liable to flue and Im prisonment, but may be obliged to dis play In bis window a sign reading, "Convicted of Adulteration." There is loom for similar law lu America. While tbe labor market In the manu facturing and commercial States Is dla trensingly overcrowded and In tbe older Northwestern States Is abundantly Hocked, there Is a renewed and earnest demaud for Immigration In the South west and the far Northwest. I mm! grants In great numbers are continually arriving at Atlantic ports chiefly at New York and most of them settle In, or subside Into, the slum sections of Eastern cities. These frequent train hold-ups, each more audacious and startling than any which preceded, Indicate tl at "nllwny managers and local authorities alike have fulled to take tho necessary steps to put uu end to this form of highway A great revolution In warfare will be effected If anything comes of the new French rifle which discharges vitriol In stead of bullets. Heroes do not fear death, but naturally shrink fivni dlsllg--urement. Tbe Duke of Wellington, 'we are told In the Latin Grammar (comic), would "walk among the cannon-balls, hlm'not caring one blow;" but even the great duke would hardly have exhibit ed the same Indifference to rifles squirt lug vitriol. No decent-looking soldier will' be got to face them; they will have to be approached backwards. This will entail a new system of drill. Think of a whole regiment charging back ward! If both forces are possessed of this novel weaon, the spectacle will be doubly entertaining. Our Ideas w'll not only be transformed, but Inverted. When our. warriors return, says James Payn, they will no longer exhibit with pride the wounds they hnve received hi front quite tbe reverse; tbe more be hind the better. In case you haven't enough to worry auout, here la something: Astrono mers are now watching with Increased Interest the big sun spot which has ueen In great activity for the lust two years, and are speculating on the out come. It Is said the molten mass Is likely at any time to burst from the sun's surface. Prof. Slverlmus J. Cor rlgan, director of the Goodscli Obser vatory of Carleton Uulverslty, says: "A new planet may at any Instant break away from the sun, and tbe ter rific explosion which will necessarily accompany this break away will pro duce a great dlsjurhnnee of the entire universe, but particularly or the earth, perhaps completely smashing It, and surely destroying all animal life on land ns well as lu the waters. The re sult of my Investigations on this sub ject Indicate, that the earth Is closely approaching a critical epoch In Its career; yet the day or tho hour of visitation 'no man know-eth,' but these results have convinced mo that it U Imminent, Look to the sun. Neither Is this tremendous disturbance of the earth nnd tbe destruction of all life upon It completely unprecedented. A similar detachment of solar matter by the same menus Is known by scientists to hnve occurred !KI,000,000 years ago, a period simultaneous with the pn Incoclc age, at which time all animal and vegetable life then existing on the fact of tlm earth, was completely crushed out." Of course all this Is nou sense, but It will do to worry about D.-ny Victoria's K'g t. There Is In England a Thames Valley Legitimist Club. Its peculiar mission 1 to uphold the right of the Stuart family to tho throne of Great Brltnlu. To the menilM-rs, not Queen Victoria, but a German princess, Is their rightful sov ereign. Tho club does nothing more dangerous that to pass futile resolu tions, which are reported lu the news papers as practical Jokes.' A new asso ciation has Just sprung up, which calli Itself tho Society of the Red Carnation, and seeks to cut Into this Jacobite bust ness. The council of the Thames Val ley Legitimist Club has gravely resolv ed that the now society Is "unneces sary." and that the advanced program Is bound to create "divisions and dis gust among all true Legitimists and Jacobites" and to bring the cause Into derision. The sleedy dissolution of the Intruder Is advised by tbe council of the orlglual patentees.

ND I'd give a year'a salary to lay hands on tbe Impu dent rogues." The chief consta ble of Wallburn was speaking to one of bis subor dinates. Inspector Miller. "So would I, sir," responded that of ficial; "and I dou't bellcvo there's a member of the force who wouldn't give a trifle to scrape nn acquaintance with this Flash Jlm-or whatever the fellow'a uame Is. How ever, we've nothing to work upon." "But these," put In the chief, display ing a number of colus. "Really. Miller, this fellow Is an artlst-a king among smashers. These coins are as near the real thing as It's possible to make them, and I've not the slightest doubt thnt I should have accepted them myself If they'd been tendered to me." "Very sjsslble, sir," went on Miller. "Mr. Markbum, landlord of the White Horse, Is as smart as most men, but be was bitten." At that moment the magistrate enter ed the court bouse. "Well," whispered the chairman, leaning over Jhe table to the chief con stable, "hnve you henrd anything?" "Several complaints this morning, sir. Tbe rascal Is still at work, but we have no clew as yet." "Coufound the fellow," muttered the cbuirmuu. "He's making a laughing stock of the Quest force In tbe prov luces." There waa" only one Item on the charge sheet that morning, and the prisoner plended guilty to having been Crunk and disorderly. "Ten shillings nnd costs or fourteen days," said the chairman, as soon as the constable had given evidence. A gentleman in clerical attire here stepped forward and explained, with a profound lisp, thnt he was tho curate of Sto. Wave's, Westmeath. The prisoner, who was formerly one of his parishioners, hnd hitherto borne a blameless character, and, to give him another chance In life, he (the curate) would pay the fine. Having done so, he bowed politely to the bench uud led the protege from the court. Half on hour later Inspector Miller hurried to the chiefs room. In his ex citement he forgot the respect due to bis superior, mid rapped out somethlug very much like an oath. "Miller!" ejaculated the chief con stable. "I beg your pardon, sir," stammered tho Inspector, "but er that Is the curate." "Welir "Ho'ssllpped through our fingers, sir; cnu'l he found anywhere." "What on earth do you waut him for?" demanded the chief. "Beg imrdon, sir, I forgot. He paid the fine In court this morning." "1 know that, mnu. Is that a crime, or are you " "Well, here's the money, sir," blurted out the Inspector, throwing down a number of coins on the table. Willi grave doubts as to the other's sanity, the chief picked up one of the coins. and examined It then another, and another, until all had been In spected. "Spurious, every one of 'em!" be gasped, sinking Into bis chair. For some minutes neither of them spoke. The very audacity of the thing had taken their breaths away. Suddenly Miller Jumped to his feet. He had a vague notion that he had seen the curate before. "Can I have a fortnight's leave, air, nnd permission to take what I want from the police museum?" he asked. "Take wiiat you like, Miller, but for goodness' rake let us have the last laugh ou our side." The Inspector promised to do his best, and shortly afterward he left his chief's presence. II. "The police! Bah! They ain't worth titpeuce a doxen." Silas Markham, landlord of the "White Horse," and owner of another liulfdoxon licensed bouses lu Wallburn, folded his arms over his broad chest, and gave utterance to the above con temptuous remark. "They don't possess the wits they were bom with," he went on. "Why, poor Drinking Dan there would give the best of 'em points and a beating." The Individual referred to was lean ing unsteadily against a pillar. He waa a well-known character, was Dnn. For a yenr or more he hnd been missing from his accustomed haunts rumor said he hnd passed the time In Jail and Jt wasor.ly the other day that he turned np and claimed his corner in the bar of the "White Horse." "Aye. aye," chuckled the old toper as he waddled over to the bar for "anoth er two pern' worth o' Scotch;" "Drink lug Dan alu't (ble) the biggest food alolve." "Of course, not, Dan, you're only one af 'cm." returned Markham, as'.t pock eted the twopence. The laugh waa agnliiBt Dan, and there was a dnngerous gleam In tho eye of the half-witted wreck, as bo lurched over to bis old position In the corner. . About B o'clock on the following af ternoon Dan staggered Into the bar. a trifle more Intoxicated than usual. The landlord, however, who was the sow occupant when Dan entered, served him with the usual Vwopenn orth. The customer placed a bulfcrown nn tlia wnlr. ! t ...... iin ilia change threw toward the till. It fell on the floor, .and something In Its sound roused Murk ha ill's suspicions. Picking np the coin, he examined it closely, while Dan legan to shuttle to ward the door. Too late, however. Markham sprang over tbe counter, aelxed tbe other by the collar, and drag ged him Into a private room. "Where did you get that coInT he "Lemme go," pleaded Dan. huskily. "Where did you get If" repeated the "'glnt give It to me." stammered Dan. "and ", "Ifa a Her 'hissed Markham. 'Come, out with the truth." "All right," responded Dan. desper ately. "Let go my throat, will yerT I made It." . , . "So you made It, did you? And where did you get the die'" "Stole It." growled Dull. "It once be longed to a fellow you knew-Hutton, tbe coiner." , "Hush, you crnry fool," hissed Mark ham. "Dou't you know w here you are' Stepplug softly to the door, the laud lord locked It. then, producing a bottle from the cupboard-was It the sight or that bottle that brought the triumphant gleum Into Dun's eyes?-be poured out a couple of glasses. "Come, Dan. here's to your health, said Markhiuii. "It won't do for us to quarrel. I wasn't awure you kuew hlm." "I knowed hi in twelve yenrs ago," re plied Dan, addlug, with a keen glance at his compaulon, "an' I knows 'lui now." Markham winced, and glanced uneas ily toward the door. "Well," be demanded at length, "what do you want?" "Work," replied bis companion. "And what about the dies?" "PI bring 'em whenever you like.- Half ' an hour later Drinking Dnn emerged from a side door aud sham bled off down tbe street. The "White Horse" was a money making establishment, night and day. When "dosing time" came round, and the last shilling bad rolled Into the ca puclous till behlud the counter of the linr. business 'was resumed In the vaults. In the wee sma' hours of a Novem ber morning this particular branch of the business was In full swing, and moots were being literally coined.' Three or four ghastly figures flitted about In the seinl-darkncaa. Silas Mark ham was engaged In earnest confab with bis son alias "Hutton the coin er," alias "FlaBh Jim," alius our old friend the curate at the far end of the cellar, while Drinking Dan was busily engaged, nenr the heavily bolted door lu the manufacture of spurious florins. Suddenly tbe low but distinct mew of a cat reached the ears of the alert Dan. ,' Before the others were eveu aware of bis Intentions, the supposed drunkard sprang forward, shot back the bolt aud faced around ou the others with a re volver In euch hand. "Trapped, by heaven," roared Mark' ham or, rather, Hutton, Sr. as a posse of police with the chief constable of Wallburn at their head rushed In. Tbe struggle was fierce but brief. The elder Hutton was soon overpowered; but his sou, who had previously served a long term of Imprisonment, for n aim liar offense, fought like a tiger. With his capture resistance was at an end, and the whole gang was secured. "Tricked by a miserable gin sodden drunkard," groaned the elder Hutton, as the haudcufTs clicked on his wrist. "You're wrong, my friend, If that's any consolation to you," said the Indl vldual referred to, stepping forward. "Inspector Miller, at your service one of those men you valued at 'tuppence u dozen,' " Tho prisoner did not reply, but the Inspector owed his life to the fact that glances are not deadly weapons. Shortly after the gang hud been con vlcted Inspector Miller was promoted At a little supper, organized In honor of the event, he was asked where aud bow he picked up his clew. "It was a piece of luck," he laughed. "Twelve years ago In the Assize Court at Westheath, when Hutton, theyoun er, was seutenced to teu years' penul servitude. "I shall never forget tho prisoner's Jaunty appearance on that occasion. Ho tiever turned a hair, and when the Judge passed sentence on blm be re ceived It with a' low, sweeping bow that would have done lutiulte credit to a Parisian. "He repeated tbe bow exactly when, as the curate, he put In an appearance at Wallburn police court to pay that flue Inflicted ou a uicmlier of the gang. "It was ouly when seated In the chiefs room, after we had been so bad ly sold, that I connected the two Inci dents, and recognized my men. "Drinking Dnn who Is, and hna been for twelve months an Inmate of the Wallburn workhouse bad been member of the Hutton gang years ago, and from him I obtained all that I wanted to Insure admission to the vaults of the 'White House,' and well, you know the rest."

Among them Is an old man of the name of Blbl, who has a singular face and wears an eccentric costume which causes every one who sees him to ask questions. Blbl has been In the Latin quarter ever since any one enn remember. His age Is un known, but old artists who were stu dents fifty years ago declare that Blbl dressed aud acted aa strangely and looked as old then as he does now. He Is known to every one of tbe 28,000 or 30,000 students and has a monopoly of the express and cartage businesa among them. If an artist wants to change his studio or a student his lodgings ltlbt Is always employed to atleud to It. He has a number of wagons and a corps of assistants who do the work, while be enjoys the profits and tbe honors.

Chlcaao Vonn.ter8lx Weeks Old Who Weighs Only Two rounua. Mart, Pulliv'k. dntiirhter of Mr. and xira winiiim Pollock, residing af 1U7 rivlvnnrn avenue. celebrntcHl the sixth week of her advent Into the world on Friday by drinking a pint of milk ami crylug for more. Miss Mary is tbe In- world's S1IAI.I.KT II ad v. teat healthy Infant that lives In this country. A few hours after her birth she was weighed end the scales bal ance! 1 at one pound and three ounces. The attending physician told her par ents that there was absolutely no ;hnnce of saving the child. But lu spite of this Miss Mary lived ou and has grown from day today. On Friday alio weighed two pounds aud cried as though her lungs were two pounds strong. She Is being as ca-cfully nursed as human skill enn devise. Every one of her features Is particularly well developed. A more benutlful specimen of physical babyhood would be hnrd to find. But she doeaiook so little. Her fingers are of the size of a goose quill and her arms nre so small ns to resem ble nothing ever seen In the way of hu man flesh.
