A TRAGIC HUMAlMCE.
A Texas Desperado Whose Vlrtlnaa Were
Scattered Far and Wide.
The man who told the story between
the puffs of his cigar was from Texas,
says the Kansas City Times. "Clay
Allison's life was a tragig romance," he
began. "Olay Allison was a desperado.
He lived in the Red river country in
the panhandle. Hs trigger finger was
busiest in the early '80s. His record
was twenty-one. He boasted of it.
Twenty-one dead men, whose graves
were scattered from Dodge City to
Santa Fe. I myself saw him kill liill
Chunk, a bad man, who shot people
just for the. fun of seeing them fall.
The two men had no cause for quarrel.
They were the prize killers of tho
same section of the country. It was a
spirit of rivalry which made them
swear to shoot each other on sight.
Their friends bet on the result of their
first chance rencontre. The met one
night at a cross-road inn In New Mexico
and sat down at tables opposite each
other, with their drawn six-shooters
resting on their laps beneath their
napkins. A plate of oysters on the
shell had just been set before Chunk,
when he dropped his hand, in careless
fashion, and sent a ball at Allison be
neath the table. Quick as a leap of
lightning Allison's gun replied. A tiny
red spot between Chunk's eyes marked
where the bullet entered. The dead
man rolled over on the table and was
still, with his face downward in the
dish of oysters.
',' Allison was a large cattle owner.
He went on a drive to Kansas City once,
and while here fell in love, married,
and took the woman to his home in the
west to live. A child was born, to them
a child whose face was as beautiful
as the face of cherub, but whose poor
little body was horribly deformed.
Allison loved the child with the great
love of his passionate nature. In the
babe's misshapen and twisted form his
superstitious mind read a meaning as
significant as that of the message
which the Divine hand wrote on the
palace walls of the king of old in
Babylon. God, he thought, had visited
a curse upon him for his sins. lie quit
his wild ways. lie drank no more. No
man ever after the birth of his child
fell before his deadly pistol. He was
completely changed. In the new life
which followed he devoted himself
with absorbing energy to his business
interests, lie became rich in time.
Ten thousand cuttle on the Texas
ranges bore his brand. ,A few years
ago he was driving from his ranch on a
heavy road wagon to town. The heavy
wheels jolted down into a deep rut.
Allison was pitched headforemost to
the ground. His neck was broken.
The team jogged on into the distance
and left him lying there, dead and
alone upon the prairie."
DEFIES HEAT AND COLD.
A New Kind of Glass Unhurt by Violent
Atmospheric Change.
The new German glass is a new and
singular d parture in that line, disre
garding as it does the ordinary princi
ple that good glass must contain, to
gether with silica and a divalent or
trivalent metallic oxide, the oxide of
a monovalent metal an alkali metal
or thellium but while thus , free from
alkali can be worked before the blow
pipe, and has a small coefiicient of ex
pansion. The inventor, says the New
York Sun, was led to the production of
his compound glass by studying the
state of strain in ordinary glass vessels
and tubescooled in contact with air. As
a hollow glass vessel, cooled in contact
with the air, has its outer skin in a
state of compression, while the inside
is in a state of tension, it is easily dam
aged on the inside, but is resistent on
the outside; a hollow glass vessel, if
introduced when cold into warm air,
has its outer skin thrown into a state
of compression, but if, when it is hot,
it is exposed to cold air, its outer skin
is thrown into a state of tension this
being the reason why dold air causes
glass to crack more readily tha n hot
air does. The inventor succeeded in
throwing the outer layer into a perma
nent state of compression by covering
the glass vessel with a thin outer layer
of glass which has a small coelltcicnt
of expansion. The (tasks made of such
glass can be filled with boiling aniline
and immediately sprinkled on the out
side with cold water glass disheb, too,
can be heated over the naked Ilunscn
flame without cracking. . Pressure
tubes of this compound glass are also
made to meet all the requirements of
practice and have been kept in con
tinuous use on locomotives for five
months.

You will find aa you look back npon
your life that the moments that stand
out, the moments when you have really
lived, are the moments when you have
done something in the spirit of love.
As memory scans the past, above and
beyond all the transitory pleasures,
there leap forward those supreme hours
when you have been enabled to do un
noticed kindnesses to those about you,
things too trilling to speak of , but which
you feel have entered into your lifs

SOME ODD IMPORTS.
Articles That Are Dutiable in Vari
ous Parts of the World
Taxes Imposed Tpon Persons Who Follow
Certain Callings Sweden' High Tax
Upon Commercial Travelera
from Abroad.
In times past it was deemed war
rantable to tax salt, candles, leather,
brick, soap, starch, paper, and in 1052,
even bread and meat. Peter the
Great of Euss ia levied a tax on beards,
with the lauda ble object of making
his subjects wash their faces and
shave. Hrass tokens are still to be
bought in that country bearing the
words: "Borado pignaia tiagola,"
which means "The beard tax has been
paid." F. G. C. Lundy gives particu
lars in Temple Bar of the British hat
tax of 1784, requiring hatters to take
out licenses and imposing an ad va
lorem stamp duty on every hat sold.
In old times, too, the Scotch sacra
mental certificates used to bear a six
penny stamp; a tax on religious al
manacs, glass, stone bottles and adver
tisements were among the fiscal duties
of the past. There was also a tax on
"the light of Heaven" in the shape of
an imposton windows until far into the
present century. This odious and un
sanitary burden caused architects and
builders to erect houses with as few
windows as possible, and to escape the
tax the windows of many houses were
blocked up. Some of these dark and
dismal abodes are still in existence in
England. The Russian government a
few years ago decided to tax kerosene
oil and matches virtually a tux on
light. In some parts of China a tax is
Imposed on all women entering the
bondsof matrimony. Travelers to those
parts are obliged to take a wife, and
when they leave the ladies take fresh
husbands, to the benefit of the revenue,
tn Servia vanity is' taxed in the shape
of Indies' bustles. In Melbourne
Christmas cards are taxed one-fifth
percent. It has been stated that in
Weimar the authorities levied a duty
on musical parties.
Quite lately an annual tax of ten
francs has been imposed on pianos in
France. Music haB paid tribute to tax
ation in other ways. A musical troupe
recently crossing the frontier of Sax
ony carried with them a crown of
laurels awarded them at a triumphal
performance. The custom house offi
cers taxed the laurels as spice. Masse
net, the composer, it is related, was
also charged duty on aerown of laurels
on the German frontier. In his case
the wreath of fame was deemed to be
woven of "medicinal plants." In
Montreal organ grinders pay a license
of twenty dollars tinrl are only allowed
to play at stated times. In Vienna
they are also licensed and regulated as
to hours. In France a certificate of
character, a distinctive badge and lim
itation of hours is insisted upon. Ad
vertisements in the form of posters and
placards are required to benr a tax
stamp in France, which is distinctly a
tax on trade and publicity. In Italy,
where the people complain that the
taxes are exorbitant, the voluntary tax
paid by the poorer classes in the form
of lottery amounts in a year to over
three million pounds sterling. At
Lateral the Italians recently broke out
in open revolt against the municipality,
which had increased the hearth tax.,
and took the civic buildings by as
sault, wounding the syndic, but they
do not agitate acainst the lottery tax.
In "Old Madrid" last year .there, was
terrible and fatal rioting among the
men and women who hawk vegetables,
fruit and other articles in the streets
and markets owing to tlie imposition
of a tax on Spanish hawkers.
In 1SS9 M. Dunajewski, the Austrian
minister of finance, who was described
as "the nimblest politician in the
world for inventing new taxes," de
cided to tax the totolisateurs or bet
ting ageneies. TVtnliu tears are es
tablished on a'.: German and Austrian
race cour ses. The system is to divide
all the money in's'ed on the losing
horses araon? those who backed the
winner, aftet deducting eight per cent,
comminsion for tne agency. There is
no 'heatinsr or v elshing possible in the
plan. A ter. per cent, duty on win
nings wr.s decreed. In France the
parimu'iiai. a similar system of bet
th'g is taxed seven per cent., five per
cent, of 'vhich is devoted to the relief
.'jf t:-.e poor. Bookmakers are also
taxed. There is also a municipal tax
of teii per cent, deducted from the re
ceipts of theatrical and public enter
tainments, which Is also assigned for
the benefit of the unfortunate. This
revenue Is principally distributed in
the shape of grants to public charities
and hospitals, thus making pleasure
come to the rescue of poverty and the
relief of pain. In Sweden commercial
travelers visiting that country have to
pay one hundred kroner (about twenty-five
dollars) for every month or part
thereof they may remain for tiie privi
lege of transacting their business.
A YANKEE'S IDEA.
How It Spurred a Band of Lazy Blaek
to Action.
The value of a little Yankee push and
enterprise is well illustrated in Mr.
Francis B. Thurber's account of a trip
; from Madura to Trichinopoli.over an In
dian railroad newly opened to travel.
At one of the water stations the tank
had given out, and a hundred or more
natives were set at work with earthen
: water jars to fetch water from a ca
pacious well. Says Mr. Thurber:
I "After waiting an hour or more in
I the cars I became impatient at the de
lay and went out in the broiling sun to
see what could be the trouble. Ihe
native conductor waa trying to induce
the lazy blacks to hasten thir move
ments, but without effect.
"On consulting with the engineer I
found that the engine waa steaming
out water faster than it was being put
into the tender, and that something
must be done or we should never get to
our destination. There were plenty of
men, but they were dawdling up and
down the steps leading to the well,
rtar.h filling hia own tar and occupying
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
!55IA)trE!Y PURE
about half an hour in carrying it from
the well to the engine.
"My first step was to promise them,
through the conductor, three rupees
backsheesh if they would submit to
my orders; and then, ranging them in
line, I soon had a continuous stream of
jars passing rapidly from hand to baud
between the well and the engine. As
soon as they caught the idea they en
tered into it with a will.
' "Raising a strange, wild song, or
chorus, they gradually accelerated
their motion, and no line of buckets at
an American fire ever circulated faster
than did those earthen water-jars in
southern India."

in many provinces of China comes from
Nanking. It appears that all up
ihrough the great valley of the
Yangtse a tiHely written prophecy of
the approaching end of Manchu rule is
being circulated. It is almost impos
ible for a foreigner who has not lived
in China to understand the importance
that is given by the gentry to any
thing which is well written or care
fully printed. If such a document
does not strongly violate the . proba
bilities it will be accepted as gospel
truth.
This prophecy appears to be firmly
believed by all the Chinese who have
read it. It purports to have been writ
ten by Iluun-Peh-Shan, who, in a vi
sion, describes the downfall of the pres
ent government. It ishows considera
ble literary ability, but anyone who is
skeptical may readily see that the au
thor has thrown in local detail to clinch
his prophecy.
The sketch of the emperors of China
is very well done, but this historical
introduction appears to have been
written merely to lull the suspicions of
the reader and to induce him to accept
the sensational statements about the
coming ruin of the Manchu dynasty.
The prophet declares that the great
provinces of Yunan and Kueichou are
the first that will abandon the empire.
After this China will be divided into
three kingdoms, but this will not take
place and permanent peace will not be
secured until the woods are cleared
from Purple mountain and the waters
of Lotus lake are dried up. The spe
cious nature of such a prophecy may
be seen when it is stated that about all
tile forests has been cut oil of Purple
mountain, while in dry years one may
walk over the bed of Lotus lake,
which is converted into solid ground.
Any season of drought may, therefore,
be taken by tho conspirators with the
assurance that the two main items of
this prophecy will be found fulfilled.
In Hunan there is deep feeling
against the present dynasty, because of
its favors shown to foreigners. Hunan
is the seat of a set of fanatics who
would rejoice to see every European
thrown out of China. In this province
have occurred the worst outrages on
Christian ' missionaries, and anyone
journeying up tho Yangtse retains
vivid recollections of tlio showers of
stones und obscenity that descended
upon his house boat from the neighbor
ing banks, intercourse with foreign
ers seems only to intensify the popular
hatred of the European interlopers,
who, they think, are encouraged by the
young emperor and his udvisers. The
worst feature of the situation is that
tho central government does not dare
to rebuke the insolence of the Hunan
people.
The Wake Woke Him to Life.
The particulars of an extraordinary
case of trance, which was mistaken for
death, are published by tho Irish Times.
Last week a young man, aged twenty
two, named Garrigan, living at Balli
nacree, near Oldeastle, was believed to
have died. He had been ailing for
some time, and all the appearances of
death .were shown, so that no doubt of
his decease was entertained. Tho usual
wake preparatory to burial was begun,
and a niiberof neighbors had arrived
at the house to share the night watches.
Suddenly signs of animation were ob
served in tho apparently lifeless body.
Five minutes later it was clear that
tho young man had been in a trance
and was on the way to recovering his
senses. The occurrence created a great
sensation. Many of those present fled
from the house and would not return.
All were deeply moved and the scene
for some time was one of intense ex
citement. Tnr. emperor of Russia has very un
expectedly announced his intention of
seuding the czarewitch to represent
the imperial family at the Knglish
royal wedding, having probably been
induced to do so by hearing that Prince
J Henry of Prussia was to attend on tho
