Carl Gerhardt, who made it, w m

; N York, although he has

been offered $10,000, he will not sell it, but intends keeping it to be handed down from generation to generation as 'Washington's death-mask was. An ingenious method oi sheep stealing is being practiced in Oregon. It consists in suspending a rope made into a loop and slip-knot from a tree branch overhanging a sheep path in the woods. The animals put thenbeads in the noose and are held till the thief can come in the night and carry away the game.

Eider L. R. Hurst, grandfather of the noted Miss Lulu Hurst, the electric irirL predicts the end of the world in

1932. He declares that the next year will witness symptons of the coming event, after which startling developments will follow rapidly, such as the noon turning to blood, the sun withholding its light, and a general derangement of things. Charles Heber Clark (Max Adler), lateW converted, has some of the old

man left in him still. He managed to raise a lively shindy in the Church nonffresa at New Haven and enjoyed

the inn as much as the man in one of

his own stories, who. after submitting

to a transfusion of goat's blood, got a globule in his brain at church and

The formula printed on some of the German postal cards runs thus: "Only

few lines today," then follow five lines on which to write, then, "God be thanked. I am in good health and hope to hear that you are also. The weather is ; write soon, and give my love to all. In haste," and here follows the signature. There is even place reserved for postscript It is designed to save time in imparting news transmissible by this "medium. One day a press telegram announced the death of Randolph Tucker of Virginia, and the next day a correction was sent out by the Virginia statesman. Col. John Stephens durirfg the day fell into the company of Gen. Toombs, and in the course of conver

sation remarked: "Well, General, I aee that Ban Tucker denies that he is dead." "Yes," said the General quickly, "I saw that, but he's such a d d liar I don't know whether to believe it or not." A bbotograph has been received in England of the oil portrait of Beethoven xeeently discovered at Freiburg. The painting is in an excellent state of preservation. The Dutch origin of the

composer is evident, and the piercing

black eyes, which look straight into the face of the spectator, justify the assertion of the photographer that they were "the special feature of the face,

Empress from Irish soil, it is said, and

she will henceforth hunt nearer nome.

In the forests at Schoenbrunn she has had a splendid hunting place built,

that is described as a marvel of luxurious decoration. Its architecture is that of the modern renaissance period. Steps of white Italian marble lead to the Empress room in the second story, upon which the best painters of the Empire have lavished their art. Ma-

Thszs years ago Jay Gould had $53,-

000,000 in stocks and bonds, and he has no doubt since then added one

nnsvrtr or more to the principal. The

way in which his possessions were then

known is thus explained : His credit was severely attacked at that time and

he therefore made an exhibit of his re

sources to John T. Terry, who certified to the fact. Gould suffered his share

in the shrinkage, but on the other

hand he has made immensely out

the L. road and the telegraph. Bis

wealth may now be estimated at $75,-

collars. It may be demonstrated that

soap and water are the mott persistent

enemies to the health of people known

to this civilized age. JSo one has ever heard of a tramp who ever changed fis

clothes after they had onee been j ut on, until the day came that they lonj er refused to hold together, and no ne

ever heard of a tramp being sick or dying. That the connection of those phenomena is absolute, no one who i ias

var eloselv investigated tne matter

will denv. That the practice of cbn

tantly using soap and water and chian

clothes should be discouraged by legal

enactment, is becoming ev3ry day more

apparent. Gum-shoe bitters would at

portion of our fellow-citis;ens who object to gin cocktails near election time,

' A youno tody of Tawytown, New

claims that, as a minister, he was com'

netent to marrv himself, and claims

ber as his wife. The strange part

the story is, that the legal experts are disputing over the matter, some of the beat in New York City sustaining the young clergyman. The young lady refuses to live with him, and the qnestion fa as to whether she must secure a - di-

Her boilers were taken out of her in 1875, and since that time she has been in the lumber and coal trade, with an occasional cargo of tea from Yokohama. She's an old-timer, I tell you."
