Hence, la returning In thought back again to this yeur of grace l'JU.", one might have supposed that a billion of seconds bad long alnce lapsed, but this la not for It takes Just 31,K7 years, 17 day! 22 boius, 45 minutes and S seconds co constitute a billion of sec onds of Ctrue Let U' try In Imagination to arrange a billloi sovereigns for Inspection. Let Imaglit two such walls running iar- allel ti each other and forming, as It were, a long street It Is not until we have extended our Imaginary street to a dlatJuce of 2,38U4 miles that we shall have presented for Inspection our 1,000,000,000 of coins. Or, In lieu of this arrangement, we may place them flat upon the ground, forming one continuous line like a long goldun chain, with every link In close contact. But to do this we must pass over land and sea, mountain and val ley, desert and plain, crossing tho equator and returning around the I southern hemisphere through the trackless ocean, retrace our way again across the equator, then still on and ou until we again arrive at our start ing point, and when we have thus passed a golden chain round the huge bulk of the earth we shall be but at the beginning of our task. We must drag this Imaginary chain no less than 703 times around the globe. Such a tha'n would require for Its transport no less than ships, each with a full cargo of 3,000 tons. Even then there would be a residue of 447 tons, representing 61.081,00 sovereigns. For a nieasurt of height, let us take the thin sheets of paper on which those lines are printed. If laid out flat and firmly pressed together, as In a well-bound book, these would repre sent a measure of about 1-333 of an Inch in thickness. Let us see bow high a dense pile formed by a billion of these thin paper leaves would reach. We must, In Imagination, pile them vertically upward, by degrees reach ing to the height of our tallvst spires; and passing these, the pile must still grow higher, topping the Alps and Andes and the highest peaks of tho! Himalayas. Still pile on your thou sands and millions of thin leaves, for we are only beginning to rear the mighty mass. Add millions on mil lions of sheets and thousands of miles oo these, and stilt the number will ack its due amount. When our one lillllon sheets are superimposed upon r.aeh other and pressed Into a compact nass they have reached an altitude of t.7,318 miles! Merciful nabblt Trapping-. It Is confidently stated that the hocking cruelties of the steel trap In common use for catching rabbits can readily and cheaply bo prevented by twisting a few turns of copper or brass wire closely around each Jaw, below the teeth, where the spring flies up, o as to Insure the teeth being always fixed a full quarter of an Inch open when the trap is sprung. Babbits are thus caught with equal ease, and when taken out of the traps are found uninjured. To complete their purpose, the traps must be placed far down In the holes and be regularly visited early and late. These modified traps are most successful, with advantages rela tive to food, while dogs, cats and birds derive proportionate freedom from suffering when trapped by mis take.

"You are more for tunate that I," said the pretty girl; "I only got declarations of love." "Would you uiind walking the other way and not passing the horse?" said a London cabman, with exaggerated politeness, to the fat lady who had Just paid the minimum fare. "Why?" she Inquired. "Because If 'e sees wot 'e's been carrying for a shilling 'e'll 'ave a fit," was the freezing answer. An Innkeeper once had the good for tune to entertain his sovereign, who consumed, among other things, a cou ple of eggs, for which he was charged a guinea apiece. "Eggs must be very scarce here," remarked bis royal high ness, as be scanned the bill. "No, aire," was the answer, "but kings are." A gentleman once possessed a val uable sporting dog which was ex tremely clever lu the retrieving of game. The owner, however, was a re markably bad shot, and oue day, on firing both .barrels hastily at a rabbit, he heard a mournful howl. The next moment his dog appeared, carrying a black object In his mouth, and laid It carefully at his master's feet, lue animal bad retrieved his own tall. The great opera singer, Mine. Orlsl, who was married to Hlgnor Mario, the tenor, was singing In St Petersburg. The Emperor, the father of the pres ent one, gave Mine, (.irisl permission to walk lu his private pnrk. Oue morning the Emperor met Mine. Grlsl, accompanied by two little girls. The Emperor saluted her, and said: "Are these two Orlsettes?" "No, your maj esty," replied Mme. Grlsl, "those are two Marionettes." A Ore occurred on premised rcnl.-d by Jews In London. The circumstances were somewhat suspicious, and an agent of the Insurance, company was sent to Investigate, lie Interviewed the senior partner, and also the Junior partner, as to the probable cause of the fire. This was his report: "I find that the senior partner thinks It was caused by an arc light on the second floor; the Junior partner thinks It was caused by an Incandescent light oa the first floor but my opinion Is that It was caused by an Israelite In the basement!" Bishop Joseph Y I liner, of Loulslans, and Bishop Richard Wllmer, of Ala bama, are cousins and Intimate friends. In their travels In Italy out summer, tho Bishop of Alabama was pointing out with enthusiasm certain architectural leautles. The Itlshop of IOiiUlaiia was bored. He said: "It's all very One, Cousin IMck, but, never theless, a rich field, fragrant with the odor of new mown hay, would please me better." And the Hlshop of Ala lis. ma replied: "Cousin Joe, there's not a donkey In all Italy that would not agree with you Chan Chun Man, bead of a Canton firm employing over ten thousand hands, has been studying American In dustrles. In Philadelphia, apropos of the Chinese awakening, he said: "Chi na has for thousands of years been highly enough civilized to despise war. Her new-born respect for wnr Is not an unmixed good. There Is, perhaps, a little of degeneration, of bnrbnrlsm, In It Hut at least China will no long er be the laughing stock of nations more warlike than herself. It will no longer be possible to say of her, as a Chinese general once explained a de feat with the following report: The Ignorant enemy, unaware that guns could not be fired against nil object behind them, came iixin us from the rear and thus rendered all our cannon useless. Not All lie Riprrlrd. A boy who had accomplished a good deal In football but littie In his stud les, says a writer In the Hook lovers Magazine, was dropped from one pre paratory school and Immediately In vlted to enter another. IIo had been there a few days when he met a mem ber of the faculty. "Well," said the professor, "how do you find It here?" "Pretty fair," said the boy. "That's good.

Among the cartoons which the sol dier artists of tho First Japanese Army contributed to the decorations used lu celebrating the first anniversary of the victory of the Yalu was a portrait of ticnoral I.Inevltch. , It was done without lifting pencil from paper. "One stroke Is enough for Llnevitch,'' said the cartoon. A second curtoou showed the glori ous Japanese dragon-uy on top of the Kuslan eagle, whlr-h In turn had Its claws in the back of China, while a cock (Korea) was standing disinterest edly at one side, as If waiting to see In whose pot It was to be boiled. tnppe-d Them Eaall.

Ilale ( uartaalljr Ktade-4 B-jr (linrrra aad l-'rleade It Is jvp rted from Washington tha! the war department Is renewing Its efforts to rextrlct the Use of the trans port to olMcer and soldiers of the army. Similar reports have reached us before. They mate periodic ap pearauces, but the transports continue to be Oiled with civilians. Junketing political personages and the sisters, the cousins and the aunts of officers and men, not to mention their wives, children and servants, while the young subalterns continue to be thrust Into the cramped quarters 't ween-deck-to accommodate persons who never wear epaulettes or shoulder muskets. The war department has not yet had the hardihood to deny openly that fam llles of officers are entitled to free transportation across the seas, but It tries to llmlf the size of the families, not Infrequently with amusing result. Not many months ago an Infantry cap-1 tain applied for transportation for his' wife, two sisters and children. The allowance of sisters was cut down one half, only one beliig given accommoda tions. However, be niaulged to ring In the rejected sister as the nurse to his child. This shrewd solution of the problem looked lovely and everybody was bappy until on arriving on board the transport It was found that, while the wife and other sister were given cabin staterooms the nurse sister was assigned to the steerage quarters with the wives of enlisted men. Horrible! The roar that arose was heard 'way up Folsom street. The throats of both sexes were taxed to express their hor ror and Indignation. The quartermas ter captain waa at once summoned and a lively protest made. Of course, the story came out then and the fact that the alleged nurse was really a brother officer's fair sister traveling In dis guise was Impressed upon the perplex ed quartermaster captain, who for a time took refuge In a quiet stateroom to think out the situation. It was finally patched up In some way and both sisters taken to Manila, but the nurse trick was not attempted again by that family, although It has been successfully worked at otlier times. Another officer with a wife and two sisters hnd a less fortunate experience only a few days ago. He had been or dered to the Philippines on special duty. His application for his wife and two sisters to accompany him was frowned upon. He thereupon wrote to the authorities, saying that his posi tion, being on special duty, was not akin to that of those proceeding under routine orders or routine duties. He was In a class by himself, etc. Back from Washington came a telegram Just before the vessel sailed giving author ity for the two sisters to accompany the officer, but directing that the wife would have to be left behind! San Francisco Argonaut HUNTING THE SEA OTTER. How Alenle Trocare Ona of tho Moal Valuable Par Skins. No landsman's still hunt affords the thrilling excitement the otter hunters spearing surrounds, says the Outing Magazine. Fifteen or twenty five little skin skiffs, with two or three men In each, puddle out under a chief elected by common consent. Whether fog or clear, the spearing la done only In calm weather. The long line of bldarkas circles si lently over the silver sea. Not a word Is spoken. Nut a paddle blade allowed to click against the bone gun'els of the skiff. Double-bladed paddles are frequently used, so shift of paddle Is mnde from side to side of the canoe without a change of bands The skin bldnrkas take to the water aa noiselessly as the glide of a duck Y'onder, where the bowlders lie mile on mile awash In the surf, kelp rafts forests of seaweed lift and fall with the rhythmic wash of the tide. Hither the otter hunters steer, si lent as shadows. The circle widens, deploys, forms a cordon round the outermost rim of the kelp fields. Sud denly a black object Is seen floating on the silver surface of the water a sea otter asleep. Quick as fl.TBh the steersman lifts his paddle. Not a word is spoken, but so keen is the hearing of the sleeping otter the drip of the lifted paddle has not splashed Into the sea before the otter has awakened, looked, dived like light ning to the bottom before one of the alert hunters can burl bis spear. Silently, not a whisper, the steers man signals again. I lie hunters de ploy In a circle half a mile broad around the place where the sea otter disappeared, for they know that In fifteen or twenty minutes the animal must come up for breath, and It can not run f.irtln r than half a mile un der the seu before It reappears. Suddenly somebody sees a round black red head poke above water, per haps close to the line of watchers, With a wild shout the nearest bldar kas dart forward. Whether the speur throw has hit or missed, the shout has done enough. The terrified otter dives before It has breath. Over the second diving spot a hunter Is station ed, and the circle narrows, for the ot ter must come up quicker this time. It must have breath. Again and again the little, round, rufous head peeps up. Again the snout greets it! Again the lightning dive! Sometime! only a bubble gurgling to the top of the water guides the watchers. Pres ently the body Is so full of gases from suppressed breathing It can no longer sink, and a quick spear throw secures the quarry. A I'oet'a Telltale Pallor.

Hibbard, who recently resigned as general passenger agent of the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Kailroad to take a similar position with the national lines of Mexico, writes of a novel method adopted by one of the street car companies In the City of Mexico to protect Itself from loss through the dishonesty of Its em ployes, says a dispatch to the Chicago Chronicle. Mr. Hibbard says that It is estimated the company has been losing $1,000 a day by reason of the failure of the conductors to turn In all the money collected. The plan now to be experimented with to stop the practice is a lottery ticket scheme. The feature which Is of greatest in terest to the public is that duplicate numbers of the ticket or chocks Issued by the conductors to passengers are to be placed In a lottery to be drawn under government supervision at the end of each month. The holders of the fortunate numbers are awarded cash prizes which range In value from $2.30 to J HO. Tickets In the draw ing are given free to passengers, the ouly stipulation being thut they shall preserve thetn jintll the end of the month. Notices to this effect have been posted in the cars and In addition the company Is distributing a pamphlet printed In Spanish, French and Eng lish, describing the operation of the scheme. Mr. Hibbard says that It is quite certain all passengers will insist upon gutting from the conductors a ticket representing the amount of the fare paid. Many patrons of the tramways are providing themselves with small card cases In which to preserve their tickets, and It Is expected that the business of the company will show a considerable Increase as a result of the general desire to secure all the chances possible. The greater part of the patronage of the cars comes from people of the poorer classes and those of moderate means. It Is, therefore, quite probable that the larger number of prlxes, w hich are 209 in number, will be dis tributed each month among people to whom the money will come as a real benefaction.

When it is hoisted by an army, the order has gone forth that " no quarter " will bo given, ev erything must be destroyed Helpless women and children, as well ns oppos ing soldiers, tnect the same fate, and a tiail of desolation, suffering and death is left behind. Contagious Blood Toison i.i the H.u k f!a;.r of the pre it army of disease. This vile disorder is kiiown as the blackest and most hiile ous of nil human afflictions, overthrowing its victims and crushing out tho life. It is no respecter of persons ; no matter how pure the Mood may be or how innocently the disease is contracted, when this awful virus enters thq circulation the hideous, hateful and humiliating 6ymptoms lcgin to appear, and the sufferer feels that his very presence is polluting and contaminating'. Usually the first sign of the disease is a little sore or ulcer, but ns the blood becomes more deeply poisoned the severer symptoms are manifested, tha mouth and throat ulcerate, the glands in the groins swell, a red rash breaks out on the body, the hair and eyebrows come out, and often the body is cov ered with copper-colored spots, pustular eruptions and 6ores. In its worst stages the disease affects the nerves, attacks the bones and sometimes causes tumors to form on the brain, produc- ing insanity and death. Not only those who contract the poison suffer, but unless the virus is driven from the blood the awful taint is handed down to offspring, and they are its innocent victims. Mood Poison is in deed a "black flag." Mercury and Totash, so often used, never can cure the trouble. These minerals merely drive the symptoms away for awhile and shut the disease up in the system, end when they are left off it returns worse than before. This treatment not only fails to cure blood poison but eats out the delicate lining of the stomach and bowels, produces chronic dyspepsia, loosens the teeth and fre quently causes mercurial rheumatism to add to the patient's suffering. S. S. S., the great vegetable medicine, is theconqueror of tin's vile disease. It goes down to the very root of the trouble and cures by cleansing the blood of every particle of the poison. S. S. S. does not hide or cover up anything PURFLY VEGETABLE. great remedy the symptoms all pass away and no 6ign of the disease is ever seen again ; nor is there left the least trace to be handed down to posterity.
