HE KEPT HIS CANE. AaS (b* H«*Mt lUakrapt Vonnd I* Wall Llasd will* Baak Ulll*. Il under «>m» of the earlier bankrupt laws that this exhibition of rare ahrewdnena occurred, when It wm required that In etvae of a man’a Insolvency hr muni turn over to the prosier officer of the law every bit of hl* property for the benefit of hla credItom. The subject of till* story, any* the Hyrncuae Poat, waa yet a young man, and wealthy, when misfortune overtook him and failure was inevitable. Some of hla property won rvul extate, aome at it waa not, the latter conalatlngof aeeurlUea eually converted into currency. A nice little bundle of bank bllla could be more safely handled than certificate* of atock, etc. When the time cuine, being an honorable num. he ooiiHi-lentiomdy surrendered hi* entire effecto, even a tubular cane, from which the handle could be disjointed, the gift of an admiring friend. After handing the walking atlck to the official, thus autiafying the law’, he auggeated its return, it wan a preaent from a friend, and could !«• of little value to anyone l>ut himself uh memento. "Certainly," anhl the officer, "take it. It'* of no use to uh." "Thanks. I'll prize it highly.” Some time afterward, in his quiet home, the shrewd financier disjointed the handle and removed from his tubular depository several thousand dollars of well-crumpled bunk bills. NO DOCTORS’ BILLS. In Sweden the Price at Service I* l.eft with lli« Patient* Sweden has doctor®, but no doctor's bills. If you have <M-casion to call a physician you will find him not only skillful in his profession, but a highly educated and most honorable gentleman. You will also have another proof of the honesty of the Swedes and their friendly confidence in each other. Swedish doctors send no bills to their patients. What you shall pay your physician is left entirely to your ow n choice. The rich pay him liberally whether they have need of his services or not. if he has been once retained by them. The [>oor pay him a small sum and the very poor pay him nothing. Yet he visits the poor as faithfully as he does the rich. On the last day of the year you put into an envelope, addressed to your physician, a sum of money which you think not-only sufficient to compensate him, but in accordance with your own position in life, and inclosing your card with the money, send the envelope by a servant to your doctor. The servant returns w ith the card of the doctor In a sealed envefojH* direced to you. This shows that he has received your money and no word aliout the matter ever passes between you. Should you send him nothing he will come and prescribe for you all the next year and as long as you live, ami he is too dignified ever to say a word about it. KINGLY KINDNESS. ihe Antrim Monarrh Providm I-t»b for the Denis <»f His Officer 4* It is said in the Pittsburgh ChronicleTelegraph there is a queer feature of Austrian army life which is probably not known in America. Emperor Francis Joseph turns over every year to the chief of his private cabinet something like $25,000 for bis private fortune. This sum is used in paying the debts ot distinguished army officers, providing the debts are honorable and the officers are of sufficiently high rank. Every year the apportionment is exhausted before the end of the year, ns Austrian army officers are proverbially unlucky in finances. The distressed officer, over his ears in debts and threatened with disgrace, mokes out a statement of his case, which is laid before the old emperor’s kindly eye. If it is made certain that the debts are not gambling debts and were moderately unavoidable, so to speak, the emperor directs the chief of his private cabinet to grant relief. This custom was established long ago, but the emperor can afford it without having to deny himself of necessaryffood and clothing, for the private fortune of the Ilupsburgs,which he inherited from his father, was JlB,000,000, nnd be gets a salary of $3,000,000 a year for ruling Austria. Next to the czar of Russia, he is the richest monarch of Europe. Public Schools In California* Facts ns to the development of the public school system of California show’ that although it is only 47 years since the first schoolhouse was built in the state, yet now the annual expenditure for public schools is nearly $6,000,000 nnd 0,500 teachers are employed in instructing 240,000 pupils. These teacher* are paid more liberally than in many other states and they rank high in efficiency. The state university and its affiliated colleges have been very liberally endowed ami the competition of Stanford university has helped instead of injuring it. The bequest of J. C. Wilmerding of $400,000 for the establishment of a school in whieh boys may learn trades has fallen due and this new technical school will be under the state university and every effort will be made to render it efficient. Combaatlou of Celluloid. A German scientist attacks a nebular belief by asserting that celluloid is ignited only by an o]>en flame and that, therefore, there is no more reason to be afraid of the inflammability of celluloid articles than the inflammability, for instance, of a muslin dress. The story of the celluloid billiard ball which was ignited by contact with a burning cigar lying on the rim of the billiard table, and which in its turn set aflre the billiard cloth, he declares untrue, because impossible. If the burning end of a cigar is held closely against a celluloid billiard ball, the latter melts at the point of contact and vapors Arise, but the heat is not sufficient to Ignite these vapors.

LITLKAHY LUNAGGo. The Dlvlnn Atttstn* < on<ln< ra to M-n<*| IrrvgularUte*. Are literary men more prone to insanity than others? Dr. Toulouse, the celebrated Paris alienist, answered this question after the suicide of llip[M>lyto liaymotidK. the French writer of comedy. "Mental disorders among men of letters," says .Mr.Toulouse,"alwaysup]>eal more forcibly to the imagination than ordinary eas, s of insanity. Hut we must not conclude that madness is more frequent among them than in an 4 other walks of life. The English have a saying that great geniuses aro all madmen, but it would lie going too far to assert that a man goes insane i because he becomes a passionate fol- i lower of art or literature. There is no s|H-cial form of insanity which attacks artists or writers, but the celebrity which the successful ones achieve , fascinates a great many men who have 1 talent, but who also have abnormally i emotional tenqieraments. "The active brain woik, the feverish I impatience with which they seek to’ gain fame, and often the privations that they endure-all these favor the! development of the germs of madness ■ which lie dormant in many bruins, and , which would never have made them-1 selves manifest if these persons had ; adopted a calm and more vegetative I moile of existence. It is my opinion that the life led by most artists and , writers is of a sort that is especially i favorable to the bringing out in full ; force of any tendencies to insanity ■ which may exist in embryo in the brain. ) The slightest thing may then unbalance the mind, and it is that which too often hapjH’ns." MOTTOES ON BOTH SIDES. MUadventnre of an Honest Ohio Merpliant Ht th* National Capital. There is a merchant in an Ohio town whom to name would be adding insult to injury after his i xperience in Washington a few days ago. He is locally known nt his home, says the Washing- ■ ton Star, as “Ohl Honesty," liecause he is constantly repeating the maxim; "Honesty is the best policy.” In fact, it appears upon his business curds an l wrapping paper, while he carries It out in al! his business transactions. He visited Washington this week and, going to a hotel, changed his clothing. Then he started out to view the citv, and. it occurring to him he had not been shaved for a week, ho entered a barber shop nnd took a chair. One cheek had been deprived of the hirsute growth when it dawned upon the merchant that he had left his mrfhey in his other clothes. “My friend," he said, “I have just discovered that I have changed my trousers and left my )»ockett>ook at the hotel. You will have to trust me until I go and get the money when you get through.” The barber did not say a wool. He washed the lather off the unshaven *ide of the man’s face, pointed touslgn: “No credit," and the honest man created a sensation *s he walked fiiwn the street. AN ISLE OF GREECE Where Ilecuj and Neglect Hav* !(•*• Havoc. A stranger visiting the island of Corfu, writes a correspondent, cannot but be struck with the evidence of w hat the country must have been before 1863, when it was presented, with the other islands of the group, to King George on his advent to the throne. The very verdure with which it is clod—that is to say, the olive trees —were planted by the English. Now, where u tree dies, its place is not filled, but there remains a gup. On the hillsides those gaps are growing larger and more numerous every year. The condition on the streets of the capital is bad enough; that of the smaller towns and of the villages is worse. The roads are neglected, and so full of holes that the pleasure of a drive In the country is sadly marred by the formidable jolting. As for the old and new forts of Corfu, which were reel strongholds when the English possessed the land, they have been allowed to go to ruin, so that they are now absolutely worthless as a means of de- I sense.
