The editor of this journal has been confined to his home for a week past with an attack of la gripe. He has been unable to be in his office but hopes to be out again shortly. PARDEN is the thirteenth Governor of California. This is an unlucky number—for Franklin K. Lane. John W. Gates of Chicago has set an example that should be followed by every father in the land. He gave his son Charles $1,000,000 in cash as a Christmas present. The wife of a poor employee of the Southern Pacific at Truckee has fallen heir to $5,000,000. This must be true because we read it in the newspapers. The corner in coal in the suffering East reminds us of the misery that would now be ours if the trusts had their infernal grip on fans, straw hats and duck pants. SEATTLE will probably not get the government transport service, but the danger is imminent enough to scare the mossbacks of San Francisco into an activity which cannot fail to be of benefit to that city. The fraternal societies of the United States pay out more than fifty million dollars each year to the heirs of deceased members. This money goes, as a rule, to those who, without such aid, would suffer the discomforts of poverty. pocket and tendered it to Mrs. Tingley, who received it and fell upon the warrior's neck and wept. So writes our San Diego correspondent, but we greatly fear he has been imposed upon. Some curiosity, not unmixed with apprehension, is felt at the contents of the irrigation bill to be introduced in the legislature. It is said that the bill as already published has been amended in many ways. As any amendment can not be worse than the original, no special apprehension need be felt. A young scrub in Oakland was arrested for disturbing the peace of his aged mother, but was discharged from custody on his promise to enlist in the navy. By the time he is knocked galley-west with a belaying-pin, fanned with a tarred ropes-end, keelhauled, triced-up and spread-eagled, he will probably be either transformed into a very decent fellow or be dead. Either consummation is devoutly to be wished. In union there is strength. The opposition to Senator Perkins was formidable enough to encompass his defeat if it could have crystallized on one man to oppose to him. In Washington the fight over the Cuban reciprocity treaty is likely to be with the trusts and against the sugar beet industry, because the representatives of the latter are not united on a programme. It is needless to say the trusts present an unbroken front. They always do. A notice posted on the bulletin board at the Anaheim postoffice, issued by the department at Washington, among other things requests patrons on rural delivery routes to shovel snow away from their letter boxes so that the carrier can get at all times in all large cities, and modern sanitary methods of dealing with them quite effectually keep these diseases from spreading. The presence of the plague within the confines of Chinatown will not prove an unmixed evil if it results in a thorough disinfection and purification of that delectable neighborhood. It has heretofore been the custom to dispose of the loaves and fishes attached to political patronage among the practical politicians of the winning party, or at least to give them as a reward for party service. Not so in Orange county. If a county clerk is to be appointed, for instance, it is given to a very estimable gentleman who is said to be not even a good Republican, and whose voice has never been heard nor purse felt in any county campaign for the Republican ticket; but on the contrary is said to have taken an active part in defeating a portion of that ticket at the recent election. This is mighty poor encouragement for the active workers of the party. The suit of the local water companies against Fuller came to a conclusion on last Thursday as far as the taking of testimony is concerned, and on Tuesday the presiding judge and several of the attorneys and engineers of the respective parties visited the Fuller and Durkee ranches for the purpose of pointing out to the judge the various features of the ground so that he would be able to intelligently understand the testimony of the various witnesses. Two court reporters are now transcribing the testimony, and their work will be finished some time in February. Thereafter the case will be argued and submitted to the court for decision, which will probably not be rendered for several months. The attorneys for the plaintiff water com- SEATTLE will probably not get government transport service, but the danger is imminent enough to scare the mossbacks of San Francisco into an activity which cannot fail to be of benefit to that city. The fraternal societies of the United States pay out more than fifty million dollars each year to the heirs of deceased members. This money goes, as a rule, to those who, without such aid, would suffer the discomforts of poverty. Los Angeles is to ask the Legislature to appropriate $100,000 for a building for a State Historical Society, to be built, of course, in Los Angeles. It is a modest request, preferred by modest people, and will probably be granted. Lemon juice kills the germs in water, whisky kills the germs in lemon juice, and sugar disintegrates the dead germs and makes them small enough to swallow. We do not recommend this mixture, however, to anyone who don't like it. Six more years of Perkins! The Legislature grudgingly and without enthusiasm elected him to the United States Senate on Tuesday for the third term. Don't blame the Legislature. They couldn't help it. This is a case of three times—and out. A traction company which is ballasting its track in Nevada City and Grass Valley has been using for that purpose rock that assays all the way from $2 to $25 per ton. The old-time story about picking up gold on the streets of California is not such a myth after all. Dr. Lorenz, the famous Vienna surgeon and hip-manipulator who has been visiting the United States, has been telling an interviewer that "Americans are always in a rush to get wealthy." But Americans have to get wealthy to be able to pay their doctor's bills. The state of California should build a decent sort of shack for the Governor to live in. Pardee cannot find a fit habitation for his family in Sacramento. The same was true of Gage, and that is one reason why the capitol city did not see more of him during his term of office. Senator Caldwell of Riverside has been named as chairman of the senate committee on irrigation. His associates are Senators Ward of San A notice posted on the bulletin board at the Anaheim postoffice, issued by the department at Washington, among other things requests patrons on rural delivery routes to shovel snow away from their letter boxes so that the carrier can get at them easily. We earnestly entreat patrons of the Anaheim rural routes to comply with this regulation and thus lighten the burdens of the half-frozen carriers. The present Legislature must be a very extravagant one indeed when such staunch believers in political patronage as Senator Corney Pendleton of Los Angeles have qualms about the way the pie is thrown around. It is so seldom that a legislator is called to account by his constituents for his acts as such that the members do just about as they please with the people's money. Their indefensible liberality will be forgotten two years hence when election time rolls round again. It is said that Governor Pardee is in favor of the irrigation bill to be introduced in the Legislature by the Water and Forest Reservation association. As all Southern California is opposed to it, and as without Southern California the Governor would not have been Governor, we of the south have a right to ask him to keep out of this irrigation fight. He knows little about irrigation matters, anyhow, and no fine-spun theories he may have should be allowed to stand in the way of the practical, matter-of-fact irrigators of this part of the state. "Held up by a woman" is the startling headline in an esteemed contemporary. The account of the occurrence which it precedes, however, shows a different kind of "hold-up" than the one we are most familiar with. It occurred in Denver and three women robbed a man on the streets at 3 o'clock in the morning-Denver, it may be remembered, is located in the woman-suffrage state of Colorado, and the women footpads evidently think they have as good a right to go into that sort of business as the men. The Redlands Board of Trade, by way of advertising that charming city, resolved to send President Two court reporters are now transcribing the testimony, and their work will be finished some time in February. Thereafter the case will be argued and submitted to the court for decision, which will probably not be rendered for several months. The attorneys for the plaintiff water companies are quite hopeful as to their outcome of the case. It is probable that the Legislature will make an appropriation to build a state asylum for criminal inmates, and it has been intimated that Orange county can have the institution if it is so minded. But we doubt whether the proposition to build the asylum here would be favorable received by our people. Job lot of insane criminals are no neighbors with whom most people care to have close acquaintance, and their unfortunate habit of occasionally eluding the vigilance of their keepers and making an unexpected and unfriendly call at any old hour on the day or night is not calculated to soothe the nerves of timid people but, on the contrary, induces to new vous prostration. Orange county doesn't want the asylum. Give it Siskiyou. Or there is any other county farther north let 'em have it. UNQUESTIONABLY one of the greatest factors in the upbuilding of the state of California is the Southern Pacific Railroad company. No single agency has done more to enlist the attention of the people of other states to the advantages of this coast. It is a vast immigration bureau in itself, and it does not tract from the value of its service nor render due appreciation there less its due, because of the fact that its efforts in a great degree spring from selfish interests. The same may be said of almost every effort forth by any man or corporation; it has its mainspring in the hope of self-aggrandizement or reward. The Southern Pacific Company not only spends vast sums in missionary work but having interested people in California, it offers them substantial inducements to come here by offering low rates of fare. In spite of the opposition of competing roads, has again reduced fares to $25,$ and $33 from various points in the East, to take effect after February 15th. These rates will undoubtedly induce as large a westward migrate The state of California should build a decent sort of shack for the Governor to live in. Pardee cannot find a fit habitation for his family in Sacramento. The same was true of Gage, and that is one reason why the capitol city did not see more of him during his term of office. Senator Caldwell of Riverside has been named as chairman of the senate committee on irrigation. His associates are Senators Ward of San Diego, Smith of Los Angeles, Greenwell of Ventura, Hubbell of San Bernardino, Rowell of Fresno, Tyrell of Nevada and Diggs of Marysville. A Rogers City (Mich.) man is going to raffle himself—1000 tickets at 25 cents each—and agrees to marry the lady who holds the winning number. This a case in which the winner will be the loser, and be the subject of condolences instead of congratulations. Henry Phillips, sometime partner of Andrew Carnegie, has given $300,000 for the establishment of an institution in Philadelphia for the treatment of consumption. The founding of this one institution is better for humanity than all the libraries built by Carnegie. A firm in Los Angeles declares that since the rise in the price of butter it is selling a thousand pounds of oleomargarine a week to about 600 local families. There is nothing wrong about oleomargarine except its name. It looks like butter, tastes like butter, smells like (some) butter, and is as effective for every purpose as butter—to those who like it. The jury in the Tingley-Times libel suit at San Diego returned a verdict in favor of the portly purple plaintiff for $7500. Immediately on rendition of the verdict Gen. Otis pulled the $7500 out of his vest up than the one we are most familiar with. It occurred in Denver and three women robbed a man on the streets at 3 o'clock in the morning. Denver, it may be remembered, is located in the woman-suffrage state of Colorado, and the women footpads evidently think they have as good a right to go into that sort of business as the men. The Redlands Board of Trade, by way of advertising that charming city, resolved to send President Roosevelt a silver orange plated with gold and suitably engraved. There were strings to the resolution, however, and the string was yanked when the committee reported that the cost of such a gift would be $200. So they decided to send a box of real oranges from the orchard of the late Gen. Lawton. The President will doubtless appreciate the gift as well or more than he had received the silver imitation, and Redlands will save its $200. A sardine is a very small fish, individually, but collectively it plays an important part in the economy of the world. A Paris dispatch says that 150,000 Breton fishermen are confronted with starvation, caused by the strange disappearance of sardines from the French coast. "Maddened and despairing," says the dispatch, "the fishermen whose occupation is gone wander along the sands, sit on the rocks of the Morbehan coast all day, cursing the sea and striving to fight the pangs of hunger. Their wives and children are dying by scores for lack of nourishment." Bubonic plague may exist in San Francisco, but if so, it is confined to the Chinese inhabitants of that city, and there is absolutely no warrant for the attempt on the part of hysterical persons—medical and laymen—to establish a quarantine against the State or against San Francisco. Contagious and fatal diseases exist it has its mainspring in the hope of self-aggrandizement or reward. The Southern Pacific Company not only spends vast sums in missionary work but having interested people in California, it offers them substantial inducements to come here by offering low rates of fare. In spite of the opposition of competing roads, has again reduced fares to $25, $23 and $33 from various points in the East, to take effect after February 15th. These rates will undoubtedly induce as large a westward migration as the corresponding rates over last year. Ever to the front in catering to the wants of the purchasing public, the firm of Chas. Federman Co. will on Monday, January 19th inaugurate their annual January inventory sale. As in the past, prizes will be cut to the quick, and the final buyer will have many opportunities presented for saving the nimble nickel. Money saved is money made and this sale promises to be a monster saver to their many patrons. The Elephant Corps. An English newspaper, in an artifact on the Siamese army, says: "In one respect the Siamese army is superior every other, and that is in its elephants corps. Eight hundred of these animals which are stronger, though smaller than those of India, are organized for a special corps, commanded by a reti Anglo-Indian officer, and their best trunks and other vulnerable parts protected against bullets by india rer armor." A Costly Dish. "Oh, mamma, do Christians preachers just like the cannibals do?" "Why, no, my child. What put them notion into your head?" "I heard Mrs. Deekon say this morning that she was going to have her mother for lunch." — Brooklyn Life. It Costs Nothing. Thackeray tells of a lord who never saw a vacant place on his estate, but took an acorn out of his pocket to dropped it in. Never lose a chance saying a kind word, of doing a kind act. It costs nothing. in all large cities, and minitary methods of dealing quite effectually keep buses from spreading. The of the plague within the Chinatown will not prove evil if it results in a disinfection and purificationable neighborhood.

The Use of Rubber Pads—Carriage Horse's Shoes Cost More Than Those of Work Horses. A work horse's shoes cost a good deal more than its driver's shoes do. Truck horses, delivery wagon horses and the great number of horses used for various working purposes, including many horses driven to hacks and other public carriages, are ordinarily shod once a month at a cost of $2.50, so that the work horse's shoes are likely to cost $80 a year anyway, and there may be some additional expense for sharpening and resetting. Sharpening costs $1.50. Whether this is necessary or not depends, of course, primarily upon the weather. It may depend much upon the time of day the horse is driven. There may be seasons in which sharpening is not necessary. Not all drivers get the shoes of their horses sharpened even when the going is slippery. Such going may come about suddenly and unexpectedly, and it may be of brief duration, and then there are drivers who under ordinary circumstances take the risk of the greater cost of a broken shaft or an injured animal to save the cost of sharpening. Of work horses in general probably something more than half have their shoes sharpened when the going is slippery. There are some, however, whose shoes are almost all kept sharpened at such times, these being the horses that work at night and in the early morning before the sun has softened the ice or melted it away. These include horses driven to milk wagons, bakers' horses, and so on, how often the shoes are sharpened depending on the going. Usually when a horse is shod he is anod all around. Sometimes there is occasion to put on a single shoe, as when a horse throws a shoe. The cost of a single new shoe is one-fourth the cost of a set—in the case of a work horse 68 cents. The charge for resetting the old shoe would be 85 cents. Resetting in general, from one shoe up, costs about one-half, or a little more than half, as much as fitting a horse with new shoes. In putting on a single shoe an old shoe would commonly be used, to make it not manded. But when a woman does ask, for instance, 'This is a No. 8, is it?' it's the salesman's business to unblushingly reply, 'Yes'm, it's a No. 3.' The woman customer might examine the hieroglyphs inside the uppers for a week without finding out any different, and even if she had the key to the puzzle it would only make her feel bad; so what would be the use?'—Washington Star. ARITHMETIC 700 B.C. Sums Over Which Egyptian Children Paused Their Brains. Probably the oldest copy book for home lessons in arithmetic was recently unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus, which was found in excellent condition, dates from the period about 1700 B.C.—that is, about 100 years before the time of Moses, or almost 8,600 years ago. It proves that the Egyptians had a thorough knowledge of elementary mathematics almost to the extent of our own. The papyrus has a long heading, "Direction how to attain the knowledge of all dark things," etc. Numerous examples show that their principal operations with entire units and fractions were made by means of addition and multiplication. Subtraction and divisions were not known in their present form, but correct results were obtained nevertheless. Equations are also found in the papyrus. Among the examples given is this one: Ten measures of barley are to be divided among ten persons in such a manner that each subsequent person receives one-eighth of a measure less than one before him. Another example given is: There are seven men, each one has seven cats, each cat has eaten seven mice, each mouse has eaten seven grains of barley. Each grain of barley would, if cultivated, have yielded seven measures of barley. How much barley has been lost in that way? The papyrus also contains calculations of area, the calculation of the area of a circle and its transformation into a square, and finally calculations of the cubic measurements of pyramids.—Philadelphia Record. Shaking Hands. Men shake hands with strangers of their own sex with far greater readiness than do women. Two men, on being presented to one another, will frequently extend the hand in a grasp of greeting, which gives opportunity to form a general idea of each other's make up, and know whether they are attracted or things may be placed on top or near them. The kennel is practically an oblong box made of yellow or white pine or whitewood, and customarily painted white and without ornamentation. The kennel has a grated opening in the tube for purposes of ventilation, with a cover to put over to prevent draft. Formally the doors of such kennels were made of wire cloth; now they are all made with bars of a very small sized gas pipe. The kennel of this kind is so malt that it is raised at the corners enough to make the bottom clear the floor, as it is often mounted on casters, so that it can be conveniently moved above from room to room. Such kennels are made by carpenters, and they cost $50 each, according to the size.—New York Sun. What "Goes" on the Yukon. In The Century there is an article "'The River Trip to the Klondike written by John Sidney Webb." Webb says: Alaska is a country of more squares than square meals, and the legend governor of North Carolina won have found little else but muddy Yukon water, assaying 50 per cent solids to liquid ton, in which quench his oil brushed thirst. "Do as you please" is motto. In civilization coats are worn for various reasons, "on the Yukon because it blows up cold or rains." Nkins, tablecloths, sheets and pillows hot "go" on the Yukon, or have heretofore. Even the Klondike like packs his blankets and takes whee he can get. A WOMAN THE STAKES SHE WAS PLAYED AGAINST $50,000 A GAME OF ECARTE. Though the Kentuckian Won at the Glen He Was Beaten In Another Way—Strange Story of an Old, Grewsome Lost House In San Francisco. In 1867 there stood an old fashion shanty east of the locality now occupied by the Presentation convent, in front of graveyard, and the people in neighborhood used to tell strange stories about this grewsome looking dwelling. For several years its occupancy was parently confined to a decrepit old house used to crawl in and out about a day, its arms filled with pockets Fuller and Durkee ranches purpose of pointing out to the various features of and so that he would be able gently understand the testle of the various witnesses. port reporters are now transtestimony, and their work finished some time in Febrithereafter the case will be submitted to the court ion, which will probably not need for several months.

Orange county want the asylum. Give it to Or. If there is any other farther north let 'em have it. QUESTIONABLY one of the great-horns in the upbuilding of the California is the Southern Railroad company. No sinicty has done more to enlistention of the people of other into the advantages of this. It is a vast immigration in itself, and it does not deform the value of its services, under due appreciation thereof due, because of the fact that parts in a great degree spring selfish interests. The same may be of almost every effort put by any man or corporation—its mainspring in the hope of grandizement or reward. Theorn Pacific Company not only wast sunns in missionary work, being interested people in Cali-t offers them substantial intents to come here by offeringzes of fare. In spite of the ominous competence roads itain reduced fares to $25, $30 from various points in the take effect after February These rates will undoubtedly large a westward migraThe price charged for shoeing a private coach or carriage horse is $1 more than for shoeing a work horse, or $8.50, and rubber pad shoes, such as those described, for carriage horses cost $5 or $6 set. Such horses are reshod ordinarily, like most horses, once a month, and as a rule their shoes are also reset in the middle of the month. And the shoes of private carriage horses are more commonly kept sharpened in slippery weather than are those of work horses. Women are more likely to be disturbed by the slipping of a horse than a man would be, and the carriage horses are usually more valuable than work horses, and less risk of injury is taken. In some cases it might be that the charge for shoeing a horse, either a carriage horse or a work horse, would be according to the time required rather than by the job, as, for example, in the case of a lame horse, in shoeing it away. These include horses driven to milk wagons, bakers' horse, and so on, how often the shoes are sharpened depending on the going. Usually when a horse is shod he is snod all around. Sometimes there is occasion to put on a single shoe, as when a horse throws a shoe. The cost of a single new shoe is one-fourth the cost of a set—in the case of a work horse 68 cents. The charge for resetting the old shoe would be 85 cents. Resetting in general, from one shoe up, costs about one-half, or a little more than half, as much as fitting a horse with new shoes. In putting on a single shoe an old shoe would commonly be used, to make it match those remaining on. If it is not too much worn, the shoe the horse has cast would be put back if the driver picked it up. It is suitable and it fits. If it has not been picked up, then a sipper is put on from the pile in the shop, sipper being the shop name of the worn shoe taken off and thrown aside when a horse is reashed. Horses have peculiarities in wearing their shoes just as men do. Some wear them off more at the toe, some more at the heel, and some wear them more on one side than on the other. Horses' shoes wear off more quickly on granite pavements than they do on asphalt, and the greatly increased use of asphalt pavements has led to a correspondingly increased use of rubber pads in horses' shoes to give the horses a better foothold. Rubber pads, as well as the shoes, are fitted to the horse's foot and nailed on with the shot. Shoes with rubber pads of this kind for work horses, cost put on, $4 or $5 a set. They are likely to wear longer than shoes without pads, but they are commonly replaced or reset at the end of a month. The necessity for reshoeing the horse at intervals of about a month is due in a considerable degree to the natural growth of the horse's hoof, which require trimming or other attention about once in so often. In the case of iron shoes, at the end of a month, when they are taken off, they are likely to be too much worn to go another month, and new shoes are put on. In the case of rubber pad shoes, if they are not too much worn, they are reset, and this may be done in perhaps 40 or 50 per cent of the cases. Sometimes the old shoes may be put back with new pads, sometimes the old pads with new shoes. It depends a good deal on the manner in which the horse wears them. So that while the first cost of rubber pad shoes is considerably greater than that of plain shoes the net cost is not so much greater. When your eyes smile too—when your eyes smile too, It's then I know your hidden heart is laughing out with you. It’s often I have seen your lips go searching up a smile.

The Scene After The Death Dealing Valley Had Done Its Work. The yelling mass below neared the walls. A whistle pierced the tumult. From the windows jetted swift lines of flame, and a shattering volley tore the air. A crash, and then stillness on the mob, an intense bush, a swift paralysis; a blue gray smoke cloud floated up the walls and out over the jellyard. Men gasped, then held their breath. From their nests in the caves startled sparrows flew above the crowd with frightened twitterings. In the jail corridor sounded the clink of empty shells falling to the floor as nervous fingers fumbled at boxes or shoved fresh cartridges home with a snap snapping of breechblocks, while starling eyes were fixed upon the scene outside. From below came a new sound, the noise of agony. On the outskirts of the crowd men were running. Mob Shaking Hands. Men shake hands with strangers of their own sex with far greater readiness than do women. Two men, on being presented to one another, will frequently extend the hand in a grasp of greeting, which gives opportunity to form a general idea of each other's make up, and know whether they are attracted or repulsed. Occasionally there is a man with sufficient good nature and courage to refuse another man's hand without causing offense. There are men who have been so impressed with the discoveries of bacteriology that they maintain handshaking to be cause of dissemination of disease germs. The bare hand comes in contact with innumerable germs looking for pasturage on some vulnerable spot of our anatomy. A cut or abrasion on the hand leaves a door open for the admission of the enemy. Therefore it is with reason that men argue against promiscuous handshaking out of the home among the men met in business life. Science long ago frowned upon the practice of promiscuous kissing, which prevailed among women. Is the unloved handshake also deformed—New York Ledger. WHEN YOUR EYES SMILE TOO.

Occult Symbols That Have Been Devised to Decolve Womankind. "People often ask me the meaning of the apparently crazy hieroglyphs and figures that are stamped on the inner side of the uppers of ready made shoes nowadays," said an F street shoe dealer. "As every shoe manufactory has a secret stamp code of its own and there is, therefore, no possibility of the general public learning more than that such codes exist, I may as well tell you that the vanity of modern mortals, and especially women, is at the bottom of these peculiar stamped characters and figures. You'd be surprised to know, for instance, how many women there are who imagine that they wear a No. 3 shoe when in reality their size is a couple of figures larger. A shoe sales man who understands his business can tell precisely the number of the shoe a woman customer wears at a glance. But as often as not a woman whose foot is a No. 5 calls for a shoe a couple of sizes smaller, and the mysterious stamped hieroglyph scheme was devised for the purpose of encouraging her in the belief that her foot is a couple of sizes smaller than it really measures in shoe leather. When a woman calls for a No. 8 to fit a No. 5 foot, no shoe salesman of this era who cares anything for his job is going to say, 'Madam, your foot requires a No. 5.' He simply breaks out a shoe of the style she requests that he feels confident will fit her comfortably and lets it go at that. "A woman rarely thinks to inquire if the shoe is really of the size she asked for, for she takes it for granted that the salesman has given her what she de- mob, an intense hush, a swift paralysis; a blue gray smoke cloud floated up the walls and out over the jallyard. Men gasped, then held their breath. From their nests in the eaves startled sparrows flew above the crowd with frightened twitterings. In the jail corridor sounded the clink, clink of empty shells falling to the floor as nervous fingers fumbled at boxes or shoved fresh cartridges home with a snap snapping of breechblocks, while staring eyes were fixed upon the scene outside. From below came a new sound, the noise of agony. On the outskirts of the crowd men were running. The mob surged back from the jail walls. In the space left clear lay prostrate forms out-stretched or huddled in attitudes of grotesque horror on the stone paved way. One figure half arose, wavered backward and then fell toward the retreating mob with a gasping cry. Men running back from the crowd with apprehensive glances at the windows carried off the limp forms. In the crowd men bore up other men who reeled and staggered to and fro. The corridor was very still. The guard stood in silence. Here and there one drew a long breath, with a slow heaving of the chest and a lifting of the shoulders. Turning their eyes with an effort from the mob, they glanced at each other as though seeking confirmation for their thoughts, to be assured that all this thing had happened, that the dark forms on the pavement below had been a grim reality. A slight, pale faced private threw his rifle to the floor and turned his face from the window, with a burst of shuddering sobs. Others swore apparently at nothing and busied themselves with their weapons. No one paid any heed to the private who wept except that his next rank man stooped and picked up his rifle. The smell of burned powder hung in the air.—H. Bennett in Lippincott's. Doghouses and Dog Kennels. Doghouse is the name applied to a house made for a dog to live in out of doors; dog hennel to a house or box built for a dog's quarters indoors. The doghouse is likely to be for a big dog; the kennel, in private houses, for a little dog. There are few doghouses used in the city, but in proportion to the number of kennels in the neighborhood is considerable. Doghouses and dogs with a sloping roof to simulate such security exists in the kennel and kennels are always made with a flat top. W.J.

Very Much Embarrassed When His Attention Was Called to the Error — The Little General Wanted the Story Kept Quiet, but It Was Too Good. "I was in a poker game," writes a correspondent of the Washington Star, "in the winter of 1879, when Senator Conkling and General Phil Sheridan were players. It was a four handed game, and John Chamberlin was the other player. This game at Chamberlin's was always for a $5 limit at first, with the understanding that along toward morning, after a couple of hours of warming up, anybody could suggest the removal of the limit if he wanted to.

This grewsome looking dwelling. Several years its occupancy was apply confined to a decrepit old man, used to crawl in and out about once, his arms filled with packages the market. was known in the neighborhood as dago, though in reality he was of Alsace. For several years he had a hermit's life, and the neighbors accustomed to his comings and that even the small boys forgot last him. But one morning all the people found food for conversation by appearance of a remarkably lovely woman who went out to and receded from the butcher's stall and the her's. She spoke English imperfectly with a very pronounced French. This little cabin was destined to the scene of a very dramatic inclination in the history of California gamwas natural that a girl as pretty as should not be long without adverses, so it came to pass that the winof the old house were lighted up by evening, and the Frenchman deted the natural hospitality of his guest little dinners and suppers exiled countrymen. But among as was only natural, there were who existed not by honest indusbut by the gaming table. Among was a young man of striking aprence who had served in France as officer in a husar regiment, had the pace, ruined himself, and finalfited out to San Francisco, where he came the hanger on of the gambling His Le Marronais was a strikingly some specimen of the Parisian of class. It did not take him very long in the confidence of the old Frenchand to him he confided the story his life. It was not a very eventful He was a member of an old French y and could use if he pleased which dated back to Charles the He had been ruined by the exgence of his younger brother and then living on the income of a litproperty in Brittany, which he had from the wreck. Irene was his child, and he idolized her. For her alone he wanted to be rich. He tended to take her back to France and state her in the position to which rank entitled her. The ex-hussar won the old man into belief that his only chance of getting was through gambling. So night or night old Lescant was found at El Dorado or some other gaming losing his money under the direction of the arch mentor. One night Irene awked him there to bring him back, her first visit was a fateful one. A Monroe, a Kentuckian, one of the best and most reckless characters of a period, saw her, admired her and that she should become his propisition. Is not necessary to recite the incicles that led up to the scene, which are related to me by an eyewitness. It "I was in a poker game," writes a correponent of the Washington Star, "in the winter of 1879, when Senator Conkling and General Phil Sheridan were players. It was a four handed game, and John Chamberlin was the other player. This game at Chamberlin's was always for a $5 limit at first, with the understanding that along to-ward morning, after a couple of hours of warming up, anybody could suggest the removal of the limit if he wanted to. The way Conkling and Sheridan bluffed each other that night was a caution. Both men seemed to strike out luck altogether as an element in their good natured play against each other, and as both of them caught fine hands occasionally when engaged in this tug of war of bluffing neither of them could get an exact line on the other, and it was better than a play to study their faces at the show downs. Conkling was having all the success during the latter part of the night, and it was fun to hear Little Phil softly utter dark and woolly things under his breath when, time after time, Conkling would show a hand consisting of nothing at all after having scared Sheridan out or produce a gorgeous set of fours or a full hand at such times as Sheridan, deciding that the senator was bluffing, would call him. "'Bite him, Sheridan,' Chamberlin would say amusedly on these occasions, and Sheridan would tell Chamberlin to go to the dickens and call for another deck of cards. "We started last round of jack pots with a new deck. Sheridan dealt the first mess himself, and after it had gone around and none of the three of us could open it Sheridan opened it himself. Neither Chamberlin nor I had any right to stay on our hands, so it was left between Sheridan and Conkling, who staid. Conkling took three cards and turned his little pair into three. Sheridan disbanded himself out three cards and hit his cigar hard when he saw his hand. He made a $5 bet to draw Conkling out, and the senator raised him $25. It passed between them with these $25 bets until there was nearly $800 in the pot, both men scrutinizing each other pretty carefully at each bet. 'I don't know so much about you this time,' said Conkling finally, 'and I think I'll just call you for safety.' Both laid their hands down at the same time. Conkling had three nines, and he looked at Sheridan strangely when he saw the color of Sheridan's three aces. Both Chamberlin and myself also saw what was wrong at the same instant, but we only smiled and let the two men have it out. Sheridan had a broad grin on his face and was just about to rake in the pot. Conkling was gazing at the little man of iron with a puzzled look in his eyes. 'Oh, I say, there, Phil, just wait a minute,' said he. 'Do you really think that pot belongs to you?' 'Belongs to me?' said Sheridan. 'Well, it does if the nose on my face belongs to me.' And again he reached over to hoe in the pot. Conkling ran his hand through his hair and again stopped Sheridan with a gesture. 'I don't remember ever having seen that sort of thing before,' he said. 'Did you, Phil?' 'See what sort of thing before?' said Sheridan. 'What in blazes are you talking about? Conkling.'

One night after the curtain was rung up at a certain English theater where the "Standing Room Only" was not needed a small boy was discovered sobbing in front of the box office. The manager of the theater went to the lad and kindly asked him what the trouble was. "I want my money back!" sobbed the boy. In surprise the manager asked his reason for such a request. "Because—because I'm afraid to sit up in the gallery all alone!" he wailed. His money was returned.—Argonaut.
