jun. Patti sat -bebind ber diamonds tke-openinj? of - horseshoe of news paper men in her parlor at the hotel. A "We dog, soft, and silken, and, the color of rich creamy was in her lap.. A' red blanket covered, his . narrow back and Bides. His name Is Prince Ricci. He is of a Mexican bread, known in drurrlnm aa Chibuahtia, and has an aristocratic air. After Mine. Patti , had kissed the wee dog a nomber.' of' times and had "wiped the corners of. its bright little yea with a lace handkerchief, she called ker maid and had Prince Ricci's trunk brought in. ..-' -"'-. "Now, these are his blankets," said the prima -ponna .with evident delight, as ahe unpacked a number of artistically made and handsomely finished little squares of rich fabrics. There . were several colors in the wardrobe. "Pon't they look comfortable?" asked Patti. A dozen heads nodded, and such -expressions were made as "yes, very;" "'per fectly exquisite:" "charmingly artistic". Delving deeper in the trunk Prince Ricci's toilet was taken out. The case waa handsome. It had a fancy snap and was lined in richsatin..' , , "This," said-- the queen of song, tak ing a small carved brush from the case, is Prince Ricci's too. You cannot keep tte dear little fellow's coat in proper condition without careful attention." The brush was passed around the horse shoe and returned to the cuse. Prince Ricci buried his nose in Patti's, rich gown as her jeweled fingers took a very small brush from the case. The bristles "did not bristle, they were so soft. "This is for Prince Ricci's teeth. . They are brushed regularly every day. It would be quite impossible for him to have good health were they neglected." New York Advertiser.- . (rUi In . London. For some time the collection of an thropoid apes in the Zoological gardens was reduced by the death of Sally and Xieorgo to a single representative of the order a gibbon. The stock has within the last day or two been recruited by a pair of orangs, which occupy the cage that used to lodge the celebrated and much lamented Sally. Unfortunately, however, these two little -beasts do not appear to possess the same vigor of con stitution which. Sally enjoyed. One has a distressing cough and the other looks decidedly out of sorts. It is to be feared that they will not long remain with us.

There are not many among the Large number which the Zoological society have acquired during the last few years that attained a re spectable age. Even Sally was only 10 or 1 1 years old, and it is probable that all the larger anthropoids live about as long as we do in a wild state. London Daily News. Iled from Pressure of Money. Of misers who rolled in their gold j,. have often heard, but it' is surely a new experience for one to die from the pres sure of his accumulated specie. A poor looking, third class passenger in the train from Paris to Turin ' was a week ago taken seriously ill as the latter place was ueared. He was still alive when Turin station was reached, and was carried off at once to a sofa, in the waiting room, where he soon died. ' On examination it was found he was wearing a belt containing no less than 80,000 francs in gold, and death had vi dently been caused by the pressure of this belt with its precious contents. The dead man had also rouleaux of gold under his armpits, though he was dressed in rags, and so far no clue to his identity has been -discovered. London Figaro. ' A lleuiarkable Indiana Ghost. The little town of Nappaner, Ind., is all torn up over a ghost which it is said has beeu appearing for the last two momns. inose wno nave seen it report that it has been playing all sorts of pranks unseemly in a ghost. Among other things reported is that it ap proached a boy, took a saw from his hands and disappeared. Also that it put three sets of harness on one horse, and tied three horses together by their tails; also, that it stacked all the farm uupieuienis m a pile in a Darn ana scat tered a lot .of meat about a yard. The ghost is said to have the form of a man and vanishes and reappears with star tling and uncomfortable frequency. Philadelphia Ledger. A Doe That Steals. A thief which has been robbing a Sa lem (Mass.) firm of groceries proves to be a dog. For several weeks the firm . has been missing ' small articles from the 8 tore, and a few days ago. they no ticed that the dog after loitering around outside for awhile entered, picked up an orange and left. In a few minutes he returned and stole an ear of corn. The dog went directly to th8 home of a family in the neighborhood and deliv ered the stolen articles. Not a thing was bruised. The dog is a setter. It is supposed it has been trained to steal. A warrant for the arrest of the animal has not yet been sworn out. Boston Letter. A Rival of Mr. Finnegan.

WAY'" TO INVEST $iod.V:;. - kiting Idea of Well Known Capitalists. ," Savrtigs It an kit and Rnllrilug and Loan J Associations Krcoui iiientlcl the Saf-. ' est Places to Keep Money. j Hundreds of thousands of thrifty fonng men .and women throughout the United States.' who are ambitious to se cure a competency for their old age, are at a loss to know how to invest their small savings to advantage. There is Scarcely a successful business man ' in New York who does not receive in his, mail every morning requests for infomui tion as to the best way to in vest small sums of money1.' ; ' : With a view of ohtaining some opin ions on the subject ' a reporter called a' few days ago upon "some of the most prominent and successful business men of the country, noted for . their shrewd investments. atii' asked them to- give their .opinions of" the best way to invest l00v- t lv?-v:-:; - - Mr. Henry' Clews, who has 'earned a reputation for his sound judgment in all matters relating to investments, said: . "The best; investment for- $100 is to place it in a good savings bank and make the foundation to build upon by frequent additions to it. L When the amount gets large enough the"first acquisition of prop erty should buy a homestead, and when that is accomplished it will give such comfort and peace of mind to the owner and his fiimily as to make life worth the. livtllg. '' ; - '. - - "When a man is known to own his house it gives him a status in the com munity greater than anything else. It also gives him an. established credit Vrhich, when obtained, if judiciously and conservatively used, will make it much easier to acquire this world's goods. . - "The best citizens are those who own in fee their homes and tlteir contents, for it develops qualities in a man's nature that othenwise- may remain, dormant or hidden like a light tinder a bushel. !. "Among these qualities are pride of position, which will keep a man respects able; the love of country, -which ' will make him a patriot,-and almost more than anything else contribute to make him, not only respected byhis neighbors and friends, but also a good and faithful husband and a loving parent." A "GILT EDGED BOXD," SAYS DR. DEPEW. Dr. Channcey M." Depew advised that the $100 should be made grow to $1,000 before being invested in any enterprise. "Put it in the savings bank," said the doctor, "where e it can draw cnmivmml interest, and add. to it as you can nntil it becomes a thousand. .Thn iar,r some wise TmrvaH ku - vest it in a gilt edged bond which can be registered. There is no investment for $100 except to-put it intoja savings bank ttiat is absolutely safe. The chances are that if he went to inquire he would meet speculative gentleman who would land his UOOin some mining or other similar scheme which promised large returns. and that would be the end oWt" ! Mr. Erastus Wiman is of the opinion that "the best wav toinv.r anno i, buy a share in some well managed local bmUling and loan association. ' These associations represent the aggregate sav ings of their members, and the money is invested, only in houses built- by one of their own number. The investment is therefore a very safe one, because men will p&y for their .homes and the interest due thereon sooner than they would pay for anything, else: The money can be withdrawn, if .need be. while it rests with the society, and it pays as good an iifterestas any other- safe enterprise can afford. Compared with the savings bank it yields about twice the interest, while the security is generally just as good. ' "Of course all depends upon manage ment, but taken as a whole the " money of poor people put into building loan as sociations has been more honestly ad ministered by the poor people themselves jhan has been Nany other financial trust in the country." In proportion to the enormous amount invested, which now reaches over $700.000.000 reaching that of the capital of all the national banks the amount of defalcations has been in finitesimal. - - '. , i "The rate, of interest paid has been larger, the purpose accomplished nobler, andTthe security just as safe as that of the average railroad, bank, mortgage or insurance investment. I put $100 away every month in a building and .-loan as sociation, conscious that it is the very, safest and best investment, that I can make. By it 1 am enabled to insure my life for $20,000, and 1 am all the time ac cumulating, hot only the principal,' but interest, which thus far has averaged 10 per cent. "UNCT.E" HUFUS- HATCH'S VIEWS. " pncle" Rufus Hatch, who has lost over $1,000,000 in - Wall street, does not recommend any 'high flying"- in vestment. , His advice for putting out $100 was to "go slow, and he added: ("If you can find a solvent savings bank, put the $100 there, and be satisfied with 8 or 4 per cent, interest. . It would seem, however, from disclosures that national banks and savings banks and all other banks are more or less open to criticism. The vast majority of the public do not know how to take care of their savings and' are: , easily-' induced , to - put them jwhereyer they, are promised a big per 'cent, interest, 'j '- '- .. "However all this may be," and "Un cle" Rnfns Hatch looked very serious, "under any and all events, keep out of Wall street. Teach the public to shun its precincts. . It is simply suicide for a man to go into Wall street with $100. J If tia had $100,000,000 that might do. My advice to thrifty persons is to keep the S100 saved and keep adding to it until it has accumulated to a reasonable amount. Then buy an annuity for life or a paid up life insurance for. your wife, and chil dren," New York World.

Another tin Wit PreentlTe. ''..'' - James Murphy, a ChicaKoan." is he latest to- come ' forward- with a smoke consuming device; ,' Rather,; though, is it Mr.; Murphy's plan to prevent smoke,' and this he seems to do very .effectually by a patent arrangement which he places on boilers and stoves: .- It is the idea to catch and brirn the gases that are liber ated from the coal before they form the smoke. ? The smoke itself, the inventor? says, cannot be burned after it has once been formed,' so he burns, the gases. : i : -'The principle is that.of taking air up from the'ashpit in 'a furnace through fire clay pipes vto" a--'1 hot air " chamber abovethe grate bars.. '. Froin here it is jthrowji from, all four sides of "the grate through a three-quarter inch space which is left open all around the fire, the space being partially lodged over with aj'lip", that throves the air. across the furnace.1 The distribution of this hot air equally over the fire catches'the gases from- the coal before .they are formed into smoke and ignites and burns them. - -; Thus only about 20 per . cent, pf the usual amount of smoke contains no car-: bon, is "not dirty at all and is white instead of aooty. Mr. Murphy demon strates the principle of his-device in a stove, where the results are more easily seen, . The stove is fitted with three fire clay pipes on each side to conduct the air. 'The stove burns any kind' of coal or coke and from none of them can any smoke be seen to arise. The stove makes its own .draft from the airshaft. ; The flame burns inward and close to the middle of the grate, 'An examination of the chimney shows no smok going. up. JNew.xork Telegram. - . , . i The Leaning Tower at Sarasoasa. . -A committee appointed to report on-1 the famous Torre Nuova in the Plaza 1 han v Hipe, in the capital of Aragon, has issued a pessimistic': account. It is feared that this clock tower, a very fine example, of the. kind, will have to be pulled down. " Excessive rains and floods have caused a subsidence of the soil and the structure is deemed unsafe. '" The construction of this torre inclinada was begun in the Fifteenth century,under' the direction of two Spanish, two Moor ish and one Jewish architect; it is octagonal in form.xJOQt feet high, 43 in diameter, and leans about 10 feet out of the perpendicular. Stone steps, 260 in number, lead inside to the top gallery. It has been stated , that the leaning of" the tower was due to the caprice of the architects, but an old crack in its side and a careful examination of the founda tion led to the conclusion That it was want of care on tha part pf the builders. The Aaragonese- speak of the ancient "? Uuiiu m its Blue, OI fE Nuova is now dyinj L T1"?

Russian journal reports an interest ing -case of a philanthropic . physician. Visiting the patients of his districts, the doctor found that, in many instances their sickness was caused by hunger. To the most needy he prescribed six pounds of pure rye flour in doses of two pounds a day." He ordered his patient to get the medicine at 'the drug store of the nearest village, where it would be issued free of charge every day. ' The good doctor made arrangements with the druggist to supply the flour at his expense. In this way his patients will be kept from starvation the whole winter. A Change In Electric Lights at Sea. ' -A remarkable change-is said to be about to take "place in the manner of giving the warning light to mariners. In England electric lights experimentally turned vertically toward the sky have given extraordinary "results. The light of the Eddystone lighthouse can be seen 17 miles on a clear night, but a vertical beam of light of far less power is visible twice as far and can. surmount an ordi-;' nary fog.
