THE FIRST ASTOR
A Daring and Rssourc.ful Operator In
the Fur Trade.
John Jacob Astor was born in tbe lit
tle village of Waldorf, in Germany, In
1703, Just as France at the close of
the Seven Years' war was ceding
Cauadu to England. He snlled to our
side of the Atlantic In 1783. when
George III. In the treaty of Paris was
acknowledging our Independence and
when tbe merelianta of Moutreul were
establishing tbe Northwest company.
lie became a fur dealer, gradually
gaiued control of tbe trade south of
Lakes Huron and Superior, except
that which was In tbe bauds of the
Mackinaw company, and won a repu
tation as a daring and resourceful op
erator, which made his name known
In Montreal, St. Louis, London and
Canton.
He bad u dozen vessels afloat, repre
senting a capital of *1,000,(100, carry
ing furs to England and China In
1800, and nt the time that tbe pur
chase of Louisiana In 1803 pushed our
lioundary to the Rocky mountains he
was the wealthiest and most success
ful merchant In the United States.—
North American Review.
The Man of Leisure.
Most of our rich men work very hard
—not always because they want to. but
In many Instances because they have
to. The husbandry of a big estate In
itself may lie a tusk for the whole of
the time and thought, not of one num,
but of several. As a general thing It
Is fair to say thnt our only man of
leisure Is the tramp. The social parlab,
tbe mutineer against the rule of work.
Is the only one who can be sure of a
care free, sybaritic existence, and even
he Ilves In constunt danger of rock salt
from the farmer's gun or tbe onslaught
of the watchdog around tbe corner as
tbe holxi knocks at the kitchen door
or pauses nt tbe water trough to drluk.
The poor tramp la certainly a more
frequent social phenomenon than tbe
rich one.—Philadelphia I-edger.

CANINE HUMOR.
M.r. Marked In Mongrels Than Lt
Dogs With Pedigrees.
I generally ilnd. writes a well known
! English scientist, that mongrel dogs
when they happen to be sociable have
a keen sense of humor. Au aristocratic
dog with a pedigree may have some
Inherited smartness, but has no origi
nality. A common yellow dog with no
ancestry to speak of. who has to gain
bis living by bls wits, could glvi him
cards and spades st bls own tricks In
two lessons.
Once 1 took Into tbe bouse out of
pity a mongrel yellow dog who Insist
ed on Installing himself at my door
step and always came back, no matter
bow often be was chased away. 1 had
at that time a pedigreed water spaniel,
and I tried to teach him some tricks
when I took him out along a quiet road
at times. Tbe yellow dog. who rnude
friends with him. always came along
and beat tbe water spaniel at bls own
tricks without training. Then be be
gan to play tricks of his own on tbe
spaniel. When he bad a bone be look
ed out for bis comrade, and when he
saw him loplug along he would lay
the bone in his path and disappear
The xpaufel always made for tbe bone
but the yellow dog. Just as he was
about to grab it, would dart from bls
biding place and, seizing It. run off
with It. This happened over nud over
again, but tbe high bred spaniel never
tumbled to the Joke.—New York World
TEN KINDS OF MONEY.
But Not All of Undo Sam’s Ataortmant
la L.gal Tender.
Uncle Sam officially has ten kinds
of money—gold coins, standard silver
dollars, subsidiary silver, gold certifi
cates, sliver certificates, treasury (1890)
notes, United States (greenbacks)
notes, national bank notes, nickel
coins and bronze coins—says tbe In
dianapolis News. While some of this
paper currency Is not legal tender,
minor coins are legal tender In small
amount. Legal tender Is so called be
cause In payment of a debl or obliga
tion of any kind It can be forced on
the creditor "In full of all demand."
Gold certificates, silver certificates
and national bank notes, despite the
enormous quantity In circulation, are
not legal tender. So far as silver coin
is concerned, only *10 worth of
"hnlves,” “quarters" and "dimes" are
legal tender, and, as to nickel and cop
per coins, only 25 cents can be forced
on tbe creditor. However, with the
standard silver dollar there Is no limit
to the amount to be paid In liquida
tion of a claim. Tbe creditor can re
fuse the silver certificate, but when it
comes to tbe "dollar of the dads" tbe
dollar must be received at Its face
value. eveD If a thousand weigh 58.92

Passing of a Once Famous Tribe
Mexican Indians.
All the world baa heard of the
mous Yaqui Indians of the state
Sonora. Mexico. They are for the most
part dwellers In the bills, crudely arm
ed with primitive weapons, but ter
rific fighters who have more than once
decisively beaten the soldiers of
Mexico.
Peaceable when undisturbed, fully
alive to the riebnes» of their mines
and the value of their fertile valleys,
they sought only to defend that which
was theirs from the grasping bauds of
those who desired their mines and
their lands.
Like most aborigines,
however, they were doomed from the
first. What was at the time of Cortes
a tribe of 5,000 strong, able to defy the
warriors of Montezuma, has dwindled
until there are now not more than
500 souls In the valley of the Yaqul
river and In the mountain gorges
which wall In the source of this
Stream.
The bulk of the Yaquis have been
wiped out in sanguinary wars or taken
prisoners and shot, and those for whom
no excuse for death could be found
have l*-n deported to the fever strick
en vales of Yucatan. The Yaquis as a
race are no more, but tbelr passing
has been made complete only during
the past few years.—Wide World Mag

TESTING A PICTURE.
Tlaaet, tha Famous French Paintar,
and Hia Critio.
An Interesting story is told of
Jacques Tlssot, tbe great French paint
er. While In England he painted a
beautiful religious picture and, meet
Ing a countrywoman, asked her opinion
of his work. “It's a chef d'oeuvre,”
she replied, giving a remarkably just
and detailed appreciation of tbe vari I
ous merits of the really splendid paint
ing.
"Are you satisfied?" asked a friend.
Tlssot answered in the negative. He
entirely repainted his picture, working
night and day.
When finished he aent again for bls
fair critic, who pronounced It ad-
mirable and remained silently adtnir-
ing it with smiling criticism.
«1
'Are you satisfied?” asked the friend
again when the lady had departed,
“No,” replied the artist, and be set to
work for the third time.
When the Parialeune saw the new
painting she gazed at It for some mo
ments with evident emotion and then
without a word sank softly to her
knees and began to pray.
“Are you satisfied now?" whispered
the friend, and Tlssot said “Yes.”—

Hannibal’s Downfall.
The fate of Hannibal turned upon
the result of a promenade. It was after
be bad crossed the Alps and entered
Italy, with winter quarters established
at Capua. His residence was one of
the best houses In the ctlty, and while
walking in the garden he heard ft fe
male voice singing not far away.
Struck by the tones of the voice, be Is
sued sn order that the singer should be
brought before him. He was so greatly
Impressed by her charms that be at
once attached her to his household,
disposing of the busband by beheading
him. Retribution followed closely upon
the cowardly perpetration of the out-
rage. The balance of the winter was
devoted to pleasure, discipline and
drills were practically abandoned, and
with the advent of spring the Cartha
ginian army was so demoralized by
the dissipation of the city that Its pres
tige was lost, and with It came the
dowufall of Hannibal.
