"Jorlette will be on board the ?:80 tnaH
train. Follow lilm to Liverpool Will meet
you there. .Look sltarp! Catijcart."
This was the wording of the telo
CTfttn I received one wet. ngly night
last December. I was sitting in my
little snuggery, back of my office, be
fore a blazing grate, with my feet in
slippers and my lody in a warm dress
ing gown. I had a mng of hot punch
and a cold mince pie on the table be
side me, along with, an nncut novel
and a genuine Havana, with which I
intended to regale myself presently.
This telegram was from my chief,
who, I might as welt say, was a detect
ive; and I bad followed that thankless
and precarious business for several
years.
This same Jorlette had given as
great deal of trouble. We had never
had so cunning a spirit to cope with.
Perhaps it would be well to explain
that Pierre Jorlelte was a murderer
upon whose head was set a price of
2,000 pounds by the crown. A French
man and a nobleman by birth, a gen
tleman by education, he had when
very yonng married a beautiful Eng
lish girlj with whom he passed two
years of unalloyed happiness. At the
end of that time some fearful shadow
came between them none knew of
what nature and the inhuman hus
band stabbed his wife to the heart!
Her confidential maid witnessed the
deed, and attempted to save the life of
her mistress, but Jorlette fell upon her
with savage ferocity and left the two
corpses lying together side by side.
i naa only to ioiiow instructions.
For the hundredth time I took Jor
Iette's photograph from my pocket
book and examined the features of the
murderer. It was a singularly hand
some face that I saw clearly cat, with
large hazel eyes, shaded by long dark
lashes; a month delicate and sensitive
as a woman's; a highv rather narrow
forehead, naif hidden in clustering
curls of auburn hair; a form rather
spare, yet well knit, and a hand sym
metrical and rounded as a woman's.
I changed my slippers for boots, got
myself inside my fur overcoat, stuffed
a valise with brown paper and black
ing brushes, that I might appear a re
spectable traveler, and, looking at my
watch, found I had just time to reach
ihe station.
The train stopped ten minutes for
refreshments, and taking the guard,
who was an old frieud of mine, suffi
ciently iuto . my conlidence, I was
given an opportunity of looking
through the carriages previous, to the
starting of the train.
It was a full train, but, singularly
enough, there was not a red-headed
man on board of it. Jorlette was red
headed, and aside from that circum
stance he had a face which I flattered
myself I could not readily mistake.
As I stood irresolute and feeling
very much as if I had been fooled,
there came toward me from the dining
room an individual, tall and spare,
with a slouch hat, a white cravat, a
hage piece of game pie in his hand
tnd this person had red hair and dark
eyes!
I watched him closely. There was a
-certain dogged, skulking look about
him; he would not meet my eye, and
he walked off to the extreme end of
the platform by himself, and remained
there munching his pie until the last
bell rung; and then he hurried on
board with the air of one who felt that
a great iieai uepenutu on ins gciimg a
seat.
I was convinced that he was my
man, thongh be was not altogether
like the photograph. Still, faces and
photographs differ a good deal, since
to the picture there is little expression
and no color. -
He entered car No. 171, and at a
hint the guard put me in the same van.
There were three persons already there
besides my pie-eating friend and my
self. An elderly gentleman, who was
reading the Times wrong side np. and
nodding blandly over its fascinating
eolmnns; a pair of rural lovers lonog
ing on each other's shoulders and dis
cussing peppermint drops together;
and presently we were reinforced by
an old lady in a very prim bonnet with
brown ribbons, and bearing luggage
in the shape of a bird-cage, a basket
with a cat in it, an umbrella and a
very large carpet-sack.
Jorlette had produced another sec
tion of pie, and was demolishing it
vigorously. Seemingly he enjoyed: it.
Well, I suppose even a murderer may
enjoy eating pie.
Just as the train began to move the
dooropeBed, and a young lady came
hesitatingly forward. You know what
helpless creatures women are on their
feet in a bouncing, swaying railway
car, and this young beauty was no ex
ception. She tottered, and would have
fallen; but I put oat my arm and
caught her, at the same time offering
her the unoccupied seat by my side.
She blushed rosily, thanked me in
the sweetest voice I had ever beard
ing me feel well, not many removes
from the gates of paradise.
A lovelier face had never seen.
The skin was clear and fair, the month
sweet, sensitive and a little sad; the
eves dark and melting; and the beauti
ful dark brown hair, which hnng over
her shoulders in the prevailing stvie,
was soft as floss silk, and rippled like
the bosom of a meadow brook when it
flows over a bed of pebbles.
But so lost was I in contemplating
the charms of this fair creature that I
suddenly remembered I was not "look
ing sharp," as Cat heart had ordered
me, and I turned to regard my yery
unsuspecting Jorlette.
If a criminal, he was a very self
possessed one. He had finished bis
pie, and was picking his teeth with a
quill and furtively regarding his boots,
which, by a peculiar tightness and
stiffness of look, I judged were new
ones. Occasionally be felt them, as if
perhaps his corns were pinched, and
once I was sure he muttered something
like an oath as he rubbed his long
. .. white fingers over the locality of his
great toe.
-Xhere was nothing to be done with
iii in until we reached Liverpool, unless
he attempted to leave the train, so 1
ruight ns well cultivate the acquaint
ance of my pretty little seat-mate.
She- was somewhat shy, but after
awhile X managed to overcome her
reserve, and we chatted pleasnu tly,
like old friends.
She had not been much from home,
and was a little timid about traveling
atone. She started nervously every
time the car gave n lurch, and I deem
ed it my duty to put my arm around
the back of the seat to calm her fears.
She had such a horror of railway
accidents, she said, that her Aunt Jane
had predicted before she left home
that something dreadful was going to
happen to her, and then she lifted her
large, melting eyes to my face, and I
drew the arm down from the seat and
let it rest on her shoulder. Men are
the natural protectors of women, you
know. i
We talked on various subjects. ' My
sweet eompauion was very well in
formed, and her language was simple
and well chosen. Before I was hardly
aware of it I had told her that I was a
detective, and that I was making this
journey expressly to help capture Jor
lette the notorious Jorlette.
She shuddered and drew a little
nearer to me.
"Dear me!" said she, nervously, 4it
must be dangerous business. This
Jorlette, I bare heard, is a desperate
character. JPrav oh, do pray be care
ful." And she dropped her voice so near
to a whisper and threw so much ex
pression into her beautiful eyes that I
could not resist tenderly pressing the
white hand so near my own, and whis
pered, I am afraid, something that
would look absurd on paper.
That was a very delightful trip to
me. and I think it must have been not
altogether unpleasant to the yonug
lady, for her cheeks were red and her
eyes bright as we approached the ter
minus. She was going to visit her
sister, who lived two or three miles in
land from Liverpool, so she had to
leave me before my journey was ended.
J. he tram only hatted for a moment,
but I managed to press a warm kiss
on her lips, and to beg her to give me
her address that I might call on her.
She smiled archly up into my face.
"I will drop you aline within a week,
Mr. Dayton, she said, sweetly. "Let
me see your first name is'
"Atphonse. No. 8-41 T street,
Liverpool, for the next ten days. Good
by. darling!" and I kissed her again,
aud saw the door close behind" her
with a full feeling of pain inside the
left section of my waistcoat.
But I resolutely put my pretty un
known out of my mind, and devoted
myself to looking sharp at Jorlette.
who had evidently fallen asleep. Talk
about the uneasiness of a guilty con
science, indeed!
At Liverpool Mr. Cathcart stepped
into the car before any one had left it.
He swept his eye over the occupants,
and a look of blank dismay settled on
his face.
"Thunderation!" cried . he; "is it pos
sible you have let him skip?"
He is there!" said t, triumphantly,
pointiug to my red-haired fellow-passenger.
That!" said Cathcart, in a tone of
ineffable contempt. "Alf. you're a
fool. That man is the Rev. John Pin
nicut, rector of St- Thomas' church.
Cumber well. How do you do, sir?'
shaking hands with the pie-eater.
Cathcart turned upon me fiercely.
"Where in the deuce is Jorlette?" he
exclaimed, savagely. "Did I not or
der you to look sharp?"
"Yonder reverend gentleman was
the only one on the traiu in any wise
answering Jorlette's description," said
I doggedly.
The guard came up at that moment
and substantiated my statement, and
Cathcart was obliged to swallow his
m o r t i heat ion with as good grace as
possible. His information relative to
Jorlette being a traveler by the 7:30
mail had come from one of his most re
liable men. but there had been some
mistake somewhere. We were not to
pocket the 2,000 pounds reward in a
hurry.
A week afterward I received a letter,
written on pink paper, perfumed, and
elegant generally. I transcribe it:

The Ravens of Alaska.
The Alaska raven is a fine-looking
bird, as large as a turkey, and upon
closer acquaintance a real handsome
fellow. His coat is iudee lilack. but
of a black glossier and more rich than
silk and softer than velvet, while in a
semi-shade the feathers are tinged with
that peculiar color so often seen on
well-preserved blue-black' bronze. It
is very funny to see these birds hold
ing, as it were, a conclave. Ten or a
dozen alight on the ground and walk
to the meeting place with a stately,
erect step, their every movement cool
and assured. Then an old bird steps
gravely into the middle and the meet
ing begins with a series of guttural and
harsh croaks, which gradually swell in
volume until the entire lot of birds have
joined in the debate. Along comes a
dog and for him they scatter, resuming
their positions when he passes, until
the meeting again terminates, and they
fly off to the beach and hills. These
birds are seldom killed unless it be lit
some sailor in pure wantonness. If you
examine the bills of these ravens the
peculiar construction is remarkable.
They are a combination of a chisel,
scissors, dagger, and gimlet. The bill
forms an im portan t factor in the
raven's existence for he has to dig on
the beach for clams, bore the hard shell
by repeated chipping, and again in
pure mischief he will tear and break
anything that his bright and unerring
eye lights upon.
The natives from Yakutat Bay
through the network of islands as far
as British Columbia have an ancient
legend that the raven was the bird that
brought light from darkness when the
world was created- On this account
they venerate it. and the totem of a
raven is regarded as denoting the most
illustrious descended family. San
Francisco Chronicle.
The Worth of Autographs.
Autograph collecting is a very inno
cent though somewhat costly hobby.
My collection has cost me over $500,
and its cash value to-day is over $1,
000. Autographs have their cash prices
and will always fetch them. The signa
ture of a President of the United States
is worth $1 that is to say any since
Garfield. Garfield's is cheap at $2, and
Lincoln's at $10. A letter written by
Lincoln early in the war has been sold
for $50. Thomas Jefferson's .signature
fetches $10 and is very scarce. Foreign
autographs run high. The first Napo
leon's is worth between $20 to $50; Dr.
Johnson's about the same
Queen Victoria's is sold as low as
$6.50, and is often a forgery at that.
The Prince of Wales has been very
sparing with his autographs, and the
only one I ever knew of being sold
brought $12.50. Lord Beaconstield's is
worth $5, but as Mr. Gladstone will
courteously reply to any letter sent
him, Ji is autograph is a drug in the
market, and has scarcely any cash value
at all. Boulanger's auLograph used to
sell for $1, and Bismarck's is worth
three times that amount.

Clustered about the capstan they
were telling about John Muir's experi
ence on the great South Dome in
Tosemite dining a snow-storm, when,
atone there, impressed with nil the
vastness of the place, he saw a giant
image in the clouds, like the wrath of
the valley's god, veering aud advancing
as if in menace: It was told how Muir
finally ascertained that the itnttge was
merely his own reflection on the snow

specter of the Brocket!. Then up spoke
Mayor John R. Glasscock of Oakland,
says the Sau Francisco Examiner, and
asked:
"Have any of you seen the phantom
mountain the peak in the ocean?"
Though there were many in that
company who had seen nil sorts of
things, from crawling vipers to pink
monkeys with sea-green appendages,
none could ever say that he had seen
the mountain. So the mayor went on:
"I have often beeu on Mount Diablo;
in fact, I have camped there season
after season. I have viewed the sun
rise and set from a perch upon the
summit time and time-again, but only
ouce had I the pleasure of beholdiug
the ghost-like peak. Oue morning,
however, after I had climbed the grade
in order to see the signal-service men
who were formerly statioued there tiash
their heliograph signals across to an
eminence ou the other side of Truckee,
and then over to Mount St Helena, I
was told to turn my eyes out to sea..
You know His a fact 'that on a clear
day a persou can see more country
from the summit of Diablo than from
any other eminence iu the world.
"The great central valley spreads
out on one side, all the lesser hills,
generally shrouded in a fog, are be
neath yon, aud off to the west dimples
the blue Pacific. Well, this morniug I
could hardly believe my eyes. Right
up from the bosom of the deep rose a
great mountain solid, majestic, aud
empurpled. For a long time I believed
that it was the product of some 'drastic
lift of pent-up volcanic fires the
growth of a night. But as I studied it
I saw it was the exact counterpart of
the double cone of Diablo a phantom
of the sea. By the peculiar reflective
and refractive" condition of the atmos

Spanish Hospitality In Karly Cali
fornia Days.
In the old days there was not a hotel
in California, aud it was considered a
grievous offense even for a stranger,
much more for a friend, to pass by a
ranch without stopping. Fresh horses
were always furnished, and in many
cases on record wheu strangers ap
peared to need finaucial help a pile of
uncounted silver was left iu the sleep
ing apartment, and they were given to
understand that they were to take all
they needed. This money was covered
with a cloth, and it was a point of
honor not to count it beforehand nor
afterward. It was "guest silver," and
the custom contiuued until its abuse
by travelers compelled the native
Californians to almudon it.
Among themselves no one was ever
allowed to suffer or struggle for lack
of help. The late Dr. Nicholas Deu,
of Santa Barbara, who married into
the Ortega family, once needed money
to carrv through a speculation, and
thought of going to Los Angeles to
borrow it. Old rather JNareiso. bear-
ing of the matter, sent his Indian boy
to him with a "cora, or four-sration
tule basket, full of gold, and the mes
sage that he ought to come to his
priest whenever he needed help.

Journal,
They Felt The Lion's Breath.
I whispered to the other children to
lie still, because we had no place to
hide in, nor was it any use to try to
climb a tree, for the" California lion
will climb like a cat. So we saw the
lion finish his meal on our ox. It grew
very light, near sunrise, before he took
any notice of us, where wo sat under
the ox-cart. As soon as he saw ns he
walked up very close, with a curious,
wondering expression on his face, ami
went all about the cart, looking ns
over, and making a purring sound.
We sat close aud had our arms about
one another.but we did not say a word .
He then came up so close that I felt his
breath on me, aud linnlly he put his
nose against my ankle. I had no
stockings on, only home-made shoes,
and his nose felt vert- strange, and
made me expect to be eaten up at one e.
But I thought it best to lie still and not
cry out
After what seemed a long time, the
lion went buck and lay down by the
dead ox. about a hundred feet distant,
keeping his eye on ns most of the time.
He sometimes walked around the ox;
then he went off a little way to a spring;
then he came back and walked around
the cart. At last be lay down again
by the ox, shut his eyes, and seemed
asleep. The sun was now high, and
we were very hungry and thirsty, but
when we moved a little to rest our
limbs the lion opeued his eyes and
looked verv bad.
We lay there under the cart all the
morning, and until about the middle of
the afternoon, and the lion lay under
the shade of a tree, watched us. ate
some more beef, and went to the spring
as often as he chose, men aoout three

they were on the ridge, they could

The Pose of the Head.
The head is the crown piece of the
human statue, and is usually in good
proportion and capable of proper
poise, but a head well set and sus
tained in due height above the shoul
ders is a rare sight. A tromao of
large full physique will diminish and
make herself almost insignificant by a
forward stretch and crane of the neck,
or a contracted tuck-dowu between the
shoulders, when her whole effort
should lie to extend and lengthen the
support of the head, aud to give the
full encct ot its size. J he tall sienaer
woman, whose head should stand like
the bell on the stalk of a lily, gets an
idea that she accentuates tier height
by an upright poise, and is therefore
seen with a continued bend of the body
and turn of the head to one side, which
give her an expression of sympathetic
or critical interest, alike with shop
keeper, servant, stranger, and friend.
These are small nffectations and frills
which do no one any harm, but they
break the line of contour and beauty,
and to the initiated mean itrk of cult
ure The difficulty, in truth, lies
often est in the weakness of the point
ifappuithe joint or hinge of support
at the back wf the neck and the lack
of proper exercise of the muscles of
the throat to gain strength and flexi
bility. The uplift of the chest has the
effect of throwing the head upward,
and placing the weight where it be
longs against the joiut In the spine.

Alexander K. McCluugof Mississippi
was perhaps one of the most conspicu
ous figures In the early days of that
State's his tor v. He was contemporan
eous with Jefferson Davirf. S. S. Pren
tiss, and Henry S. Foote. the big brnhiy
men who have written their names
high upon the scroll of the Nation's
life. He was a man possessing many
admirable traits of charucter. com
bined with a high order of intellect
and surpassingly fine manners. His
style of dress was immaculate, and no
knight of the olden time ever bore
himself with pronder mien than did
Alex. McCluug. His finely-wrought
organism was screwed up to the high
est tension all the time, and by reason
of that he became the most famous
duelist in America. He was of
frjeadly. convivial nature for all that,

di8Sjpation fastened themselves about
him ike bandg of 8teeK
He wa8 aD unorrinjp 8hot with a pis
tol, and as many as eight men fell un
der his fatal fire upon the field of
honor.
With the memorv of his dead and
the goblins damned hatched out of the
ine cup constantly mttinfr before his
gifted but besotted miud, life became
a burden, and upon the threshold of
his "youthful prime" he committed
suicide in the City of Jackson by shoot
ing nimsett tnrougn the head with a
dueling pistol.
ror tins last irigiitiut tragedy he
made extensive preparations. First.
on the morning of his death he had his
bat u ana shave. J. hen he clothed bis
handsome and manly form iu an elegant
suit made by his tailor for that occa
sion. He wore a full-dress shirt, a
white tie, patent leather pumps, and
black hose. He bad dressed himself
for burial.
On the day previous he had pur
chased of a carpenter a neatly planed
board, about twelve inches iu width
and six feet, in length. This was by
bis order curried to his room at his
hotel.
On the morning of the tragedy he
placed the board in position to per
form the service for .which he had pur
chased it. resting one end on his bed and
the other on the floor. This done, he
threw himself across the bed, laying
his head upon the board. Erery thing
now being in readiness, he shot him
self through the braiu with a dueling
pistol. The blood rushed from his
self-inflicted wound and went coursing
down the plank like a mountain brook,
leaviii his clothes spotless aod un
stained. Upon his writing-desk were found
these pathetic verses, the ink still wet
upon the pages:

His Litre Saved by Bis Nerve.
An Incident which recently took
place at Plymouth, Mass., called for
the possession of a good deal of pluck
on the part of the two actors. A
young man of about SO was leading a
bull that bad always been peaceably
inclined, when the animal seemed to
be seized with a sudden fury, and
made a lunge at him.
The stick which was fastened to a
ring in the animal's nose snapped
short in the yoftng man's grasp, and
almost before he knew what had hap
pened he was thrown iuto the air from
the bull's horns.
His clothing was torn nearly from
his body, his cheek was cut open, and
he was much bruised, but when he
fell, almost tinder the feet of the bull,
be had presence of mind enough to
realize that his only safety lay in keep
ing sp close to the head of the animal
that be could not be thrown up again.
He managed to get three fingers of his
left hand into the ring in the bull's
nose, while with his right hand be
grasped one of the horns.
Meanwhile the farmer who owned
the animal, and who is an excellent
shot, had got a rifle from the house,
and hastily put into it two cartridges.
The young'man. finding his strength
failing, called out to the other to
shoot.
"Fire, for pity's sake," he said. ,4I
can't bold on much longer."
The bull, astonished by the clutch
of his victim, had for a moment stop
ped, but when he should, again start
there would be small chance of the
life of the young man. The animal
stood so that his forehead was pre
sented to the farmer, but the young
man's head was withtu a (ew inches of
the spot which the bullet must strike.
"If I tire,1" the farmer called, "the
ball may flatten on the bone and kill
you on the rebound."
"Fire anyway, aud quick." the other
cried out, as the bull showed signs of
moving.
The farmer put his rifle to his shoul
der and fired. The shot was so true
that the bull dropped in his tracks
without a struggle.
Child Sovereigns.
' Three of the thrones of Europe,
namely, those of Holland, Spain and
Servia. are occupied at the present mo
ment by mere children, says a Paris
letter, and if all the persistent rumors
concerning the ill health of Emperor
William and Dora Carlos have any
foundation, it is possible that the num
ber of infant sovereigns will shortly b
augmented by a 9-year-old kaiser of
German v and a 4-year-old king of
Portugal. It is therefore quite possible
thatOD the occasion of the next cougress
of crowned heads of Europe the anoint
ed of the Lord w ill be attended by their
nurses in lieu of chancellors or prime
ministers, aud that the festivities in
houor of the meeting will take the form
of reviewing dolls instead of soldiers.
Their conferences will be devoted to
the discussion of candies, and they will
toast oue another iu bumpers of pap.
Two War Stories.
Congressman Allen, of Mississippi,
never tires of telling funny tales about
me war. Here are two: . a comeaer
nte soldier in a certain regiment had
become noted for running away from
every fight. On one occasion his cap
tain found him in line as an unexpect
ed attacK opened, otamung behiud
him the captain drew his pistol and
said: "Now, John, up ' to this time
vou have run from every fight. You
have disgraced yourself on all occa
sions. Now, if you stir from this Hue
this lime 1 intend to shoot you dead.
I shall stand here, right behind you,
and if you start to run I shall certainty
kill you." John heard the captain
through, and drawing himself up to
an unusual height replied: "Well,
captain, ybu may shoot me if you like,
but Til never give any lowlived, low
down Yankee the privilege of doing
it." At Murfreesborough a confeder
ate soldier was rushiug to the rear
with all the speed he could command.
An officer hailed him aud sueertngly
inquired why he was ruuning so fast
away from the Yankees. The soldier,
without stopping, yelled back: "Be

INDIAN EXPENSES.
What the Bed Han Ha Cot the G'vpr.
The records show that from Jnlv 4. i
1776, to June 30, 188G. the Indians cost
the government $929,239,000, or iiUmt
$1,000 for every buck, squaw and pa
poose in the country at tne time of the
first white settlement. These figures,
remarks the Globe Democrat, are worth
studying in a very careful way. They
represent on outlay thut is still going
on, and that must eontiune so long ns
the present Indian policy shall im
maintained. The fact is manifest that
we have expended more money upon
this race than can be justified by any
process of reasoning or any doctrine of
morality.
A large portion of It has been ab
sorbed, we know, by grasping and un
scrupulous white speculators, but these
speculators are to be regarded ns part
of the general svstein of Indian man
agement. - It will not do to say that
the whites have been the chief gainers
in the case, for it is easy to show that
the Indians now possess a considerable
share of the proceeds, in spite of their
thriftless habits, and because of the
oaternal kindness of the government.
They have more assets to-day In pro
portion to their number than the white
settlers, on the frontier, and we are
feeding and clothiug them, while they
live in idleness. Worse still, we fur
nish them with arms aud ammunition,
and thus practically encourage them to
go to war on the slightest pretext.
This is what we call a policy of civil
ization: but as a matter of "fact it is di
rectly inimical to the interests of civili
sation. The Indians of to-daj as a
race, do not differ materially from
those of a hundred rears ago. With
all our trouble and all our expense, we
have not overcome their savage in
stincts, and have not particularly
changed their habits of life. They still
preserve their tribal relations, by our
permission, and obey the commands of
their chief in contempt of the author
ity ot the government. We have taught
them to look to us for everything that
they need, and to believe that they
are au independent people, with nat
ional rights and privileges. This folly
has been paid for at a most expensive
rate; aud the time bap. certainly come
when a wiser and more economical pol
icy should te adopted.
We should begin by disarming everv
Indian m the country. Then their
tribal organizations should be dis
solved. Next, their reservation sys
tem should be destroyed. And finally,
they should be required to go to work
and earn at least as much as the cost
of their support. There is no reason
why we should prolong a policy that is
takiug so much money out of the treas
ury year after year, and doing so little
to "sol re the Indian problem. We have
a right to insist that a race which has
been favored in such a remarkable de
gree shall cease to call upon us for
mcaus of subsistence. It has had ev
ery opportunity to learn the ways of
civilization and to adapt itself to the
circumstances by which it is surround
ed; and it should now be compelled to
take care of itself, as the white race is
obliged to do.
TWO-TAILED GOLDFISH.
Bow the Pinny luatl Are Bred sad
Colored by ta Chinese.
All the goldfish in this country origin
ally came from Japan and China, where
the business of breeding them has been
carried ou for no one knows how many
hundreds of rears; Yon will be sur
prised to learn. perhaps says the Wash
ington afar, that their brilliant colors
are obtained altogether by artifice.
Mature unassisted never produced a
goldfish that is to say. the paint was
fackiug.
The creature at the beginning Is of a
somber, yellowish bronze hue. Take
a pair bred from them, and once in a
while will occur a freak that will ex
hibit more or less color. Mate two
such freaks and yon obtain progeny
with more decided tints, utii oi tnis
last generation take a pair that show
the most color, oroceediug cautionsly in
this way, and eventually, with sufficient
care and patience, you will produce a
go I en nsh.
This is nreciselv the wav in which
the ingenious orientals produced gold
fish. Now and then a white freak
would be fottud. which was simply au
albino, aud this they crossed with the
goldeu. so as to make a brindled white
and gold such as one very commonly
sees. Oddilr enough, by the wav. this
sort of carp in the process of turning to
golden becomes black first. But the
breeders of the east have accomplished
nil sorts of things with goldfish bevond
this. They have caused them to develop
astonishingly exaggerated fins and tails
twice as bir as their bodies.
Most remarkable of all, thev have ob
tained strains of gold-fish. specimens of
which are now ou view in aquaria at
the -commission's building, with two
separate tails, each of huge size, and
two pairs of anal fins. Anatomically
soeakiug. this is precisely as if a man
or any other mammal were to be so
bred as to be provided with four legs
ana iour arms, nuu yvi suns vnpeLv m

eighfe-leggeif beast is not a possibility
of future development. What might
not man achieve it he were a quaa
ruped and had two pairs of arms be
sides? Such an extra equipment of limbs
would be in bis way, presumably, if
one is to judge from observation of
the gold fish referred to. They are
rendered very beautiful by their great
spread of delicately shaded fins, but
they seem to find them cumbersome
and hare to keepcontinually wriggling
along to prevent their great tails from
weighing them down at the rear end,
and causing them to assume a perpen
dicular attitude. One of the freaks iu
the commission's aquaria is white, with
fius of an exquisite light yellow, and
its body is so transparent that you can
see its red blood and the very food in
side its stomach.
Disposing of a Saloon.
An American barkeeper, who wants
to sell out his place, has hit upon a
novel idea for doinr it. Here's his
idea: To every person who buys, a
check will be given the amount of his
purchase. When $5 worth of checks
are gotten they can be returned, and a
ticket will be given him. Then, at
the end of a given time, say two or
three months, the present proprietor
will resign, and the barroom, with all
its contents, turned over to the hold
ers of these tickets. These cau- then
settle it among themselves as io which
one is the owner. They cau then raffle
for it, or do what they please with it.
It will be theirs jointly, and they cau
settle in any way they desire as to who
is to have it.
PainthifT Books.
The Japanese author does not write
books. He p:iiuts them. As soon as
he reaches the indispensable minimum
of ideas he shuts himself in his study,
brightened slightly by a soft lifeht from
a four-cornered white paper lantern.
He has. before him a polished table,
one foot high, on which tie his idyllic
writing materials. The paper is of an
agreeable ellow. and is marked with
perpendicular and horizontal blue
lines. His ink is held in a rich ebouy
plate, elaborately carved, and with a
depression in which the black tablets
are rubbed to nothing. The plate car
ries also five bamboo brushes which
serve as pens.
CUjjjHIS OWN TONGUE OUT. j

15 turner In Soa thorn California. .
. .
; A vfery singular and a very mysteri
ous ease was brought to public notice
to-day, says a letter from Los Angeles,
Cal., when (t was announced that a
stranger in the city had. while perfect
ly sane, cut his tongue out with a rax- '
or.
The man who mutilated himself In
this way came to the city from no one
kuows where. Every indication points
to the fact that while here he labored
under some great mental excitement,
and he has gone and his disappearance
is as mysterious as his advent. The
power of speech is lost to him forever,
and while no one doubts that he had
some great reason for the act, or per
haps some great wrong to right by per
sonal punishment, the motive is un
known. It happened Sunday morning at a
boarding house on Broadway, where
the stranger, who was inclined to ex
treme tacituruity. gave the name of
Wilson and refused his Initials. Dur
ing the three weeks he had been in the
city he lived ou bread and water, al
though he is known to have had plenty
of money, and the landlady was a little
surprised to hear the bell ring just as
she returned from church, for it was
the first time it had tinkled since he
came into the house.
She answered the bell personally, for.
being a woman, she was naturally cur
ious to find out what she could of the
'mvsterv, 1 as he was called. On the
ontside of the door was found a news
paper, on the margin of which had been
scribbled: "Send for a surgeon to stop
the bleeding."
On the room being entered the lodger
was found bending over a wash-basin,
the blood pouring from his mouth. He
was perfectly calm and was attempting
to stop the hemorrhage with a wet hand
kerchief. A bloody razor lay on the
bed aud spots of blood had ruined the
earuet.
A doctor was at once called and the
man's injuries were dressed. He stood
the painful ordeal with a wonderful
nerve, for white the flesh quivered un
der the surgeon's needle, Ihe man him
self gave no indication of snffering.
The severed portions of tongue had
oeen thrown away or toe man. whose
everv act showed the utmost delibera
tion. He had shaved himself cieauly,
taken a bath, carefully dressed himself,
with the exception of his coat, and
then evidently seize I his tongue.
pushed the razor into bis mouth far as
it would go. and with a quick slash cut
off the offending member. The accom
plishment of the deed seems to have
been the man s sole aim. as be carried
out the surgeon's directions for treat

surgeon the next day. the latter en-
aeavored to gain the mysterious man

brought with him asked for his bill,

He then returned to the lodging
house and endeavored to get the land
lady to accept money for the tronble he
had put iter to by bis siugularact. He
then bade her good bye, and she heard
nothing ol him until this mornin
when she received a money-order for

ticulty stood the driver on the front
platform, arrayed in a bottle-green
liyerv. with a stiff military cap which
gave him the combined look of a Ger
man officer and of a musician from a
street band. His energy was spent in
making about three times as much
work for himself as was needed. On
the tail of the car rode the guard, also
notably appareled, whose importance
outdid even his uniform. He had the
advantage of the driver in the matter
of a second-class fash-horn, upon whicn
he tooted vigorously whenever he
thought of it; and he was not a forget
ful mau. -

but, on the whole, I think that rather
