Home- time ago a five nans pfesr

unpopular among ■■all train
people, who ia every poeaible way
avoided taking it One fay i-t
story spread with lightning; .^-.i
ity that among all these pi-ecaef
nickel there were ire to which
the sunt had given a particutaur
mark that ■ade then speriafljj
valuable. Thte ■arhrwas the
aaae of Rothschild and tbe lucky
persons who should dissever titoao
marked pieces would, on carryiaR
then to the rich beaker, receire,
for the first piece 25JNB francs
($6,MM); the second, 10J»0 francs;
the third aad fourth M®» f'»■*

It was given set that this lot-
tery was gotten up by RotbaeHM

finding the ■ierooeopie snark cd

for this nnpopn lar piece of money.
A cat flbat eats cucumboa and
squashes has jest been dneovansd ■

York county. The animal has been
living on Elm term, which is owned
by Mm Vesta E. Hammond, and ter
some years the people living on the
place have been troubled by some
animal eating into the caewmbers
and squashes and raining a great

side of cucumbers were left and the
sqasshrs were faring about as badly.
It was a long time before it was
discovered what was doing the work.
The cm anthers and squashes were
harvested and it was thought flbat
they would.be all right in the barn.
One day Charles Graves, the hired
■san, went into the bun rather
quiekly and there found the cat eat-
ing away on a ripe cucumber and had
already put one of the squashes out
of business so far as its ever being
made into pies was eoneernsd. Fur-
ther operations along this line were
ths prevented by the disposition off
the cat that preferred encumbers
without any vinegar, salt and pepper
to pure country milk without any
water in ft.
The cat is now in his last resting
place as a reward for being a faith-
ful awa catcher.—Biddeford Jour-
nal.
TO CHEER HIM.
The wife off his bosom was going
to leave him for a fortnight, and
FHz Tomkins waa trying hie very
best to look end.
"My dear," he said, choking beck
a draekle with hie handkerchief and
wiping his ayes, "I hardly like to
think bow I shall miss you. The
evenings will be so Inng and lonely
without you. I shall have no one to
talk to."
"George," said Fit*, survey-
ing him with a marble eye, “I have
provided for your comfort in this
as in every other way. When you
return home you will fad dear
■other there. She w di remain till
I come hark, and keep you company
■ the evenings, George.”
And SB the tram slowly glided out
of the station the guard wondered yer farditur*.

when he insinuated a tip.—Leaden

unsuccessful contributor, "I <LmT

“Yes’in,” replied Tommy, "am

factetar Burial Flare Erected by
Msaareh to Algeria.
Tha Tomb of the Christian ■ Al-
geria is a pyramid on the summit of
a hiH more than ?00 feet high, at the
edge of the sea, esyc the Autocar. It
dates back to before the time of St
Paul, having been built by order of
Juba IL, tha king of Mauretania, as
a burying place for himself and his
wife, Cleopatra, the daughter of
Cleopatra and Mark Antony. The
only daughter of Juba and his wife
was Drusilla, who married Festus,
the governor of Judea in the time of
St Paul. The tomb can be entered
by a low doorway beneath one of the
four falae door*. These hare mold-
ings on them of a cruciform shape
and may account for the title, "The
Tomb of the Christian." The pas-
sage within the pyramid winds round
and eventually leads to two cham-
bers shut off from it by folding doors,
which can be moved op and down by
levers. The tomb must have been
rifled of all it contained centuries
ago, though some think that by ex-
cavating in a downward direction it
might still be possible to discover
the burying places of tbe king and
queen, supposing the two chambers,
like the false doors outside, to be a
Mind. Doubtless, the younger Cleo-
patra had brought the idea of mak-
ing a royal mausoleum in the shape
of a pyramid from Egypt. Portions
of a marble statue of Egyptian de-
sign were found at Cherehel, suggest-
ing that an Egyptian colony may
once have existed there. There are
two other similar monuments in Al-
geria, in the provinces of Oran and
Constantine, respectively, the latter
being considerably older than the
Tomb of the Christian, which, how-
ever, is the only one referred to in
ancient writings.

not a penny left to pay for posting
Am bills on which she relied to ad-
vertise the entertainment.
Having triad various ways of cir-
emaventing the difficulty without
succeas, she determined to be her
own bill poster. She wont straight
te the hotel Intchen and persuaded
om of the amido to make her a
quantity of paste.
Then dte borrowed a ball poster’s
brush and ■ aoon ■ it was dark set
off oa her adventurous round and
posted ap every one of tbe bills rite
had had printed. Tbs result of hsr
snisrprise was a big hossm and a
neat sum sf money.
The story is told that Dryden,
after finishing his translation of
Vergil, sent it to Jacob Tonson for
publication for a sum specified upon
Tonson was desirous of obtaining
the book, tert determined to take ad-
vantage of Dryden’s need of money.
He therefore informed ths poet that
he could not pay the sum Dryden
asked.
in reply Dryden cent the,follow-
ing lines in description of the pub-
lisher:
"With leering look, bull faced and
freckled fair.
With two left lego, with Judas eob
ored hair,
And frowzy pom that taint tbe am-
bient air."
When this was delivered to Ton-
eon, be asked if Dryden had eaid
anything more. "Yes,” replied the
bearer, "be said to tell the dog that
he who wrote these lines could write
more like them." Tonson cent the

"I wouldn’t want," said the man of
nsoderate wrens, "to be ■ rich ■
Kresus; I wouldn’t even want money
enough to eseke me bay; I think
great riches, that is, great, would he
bad for most of us, but I really would
like to have money enoe^h so that
I could wear any sort of dothrn I
wanted in any sort of weather. As
it ia, it’s like this:
"My stock of clothes is limited. I
have enough to make me presentable
in fair weather tert no reserve of
such clothes and of course I can’t af-
ford to take chances with what I’ve
got, and so tbe weather is always an
object of concern to me.
" 'Shall I wear my good clothes?*
I aey to myself, as I look out at the
sky on a towery morning, or shall I
put on my old ones?* I don’t want to
wear my old clothes if it’s going to
dear off and I can’t afford to wear
my good clothes if it’s gotog to rain,
and being in this state of mind
doesn't help me any in my judgment,
for a man can come doser to guess-
ing right on things in which he is
not personally interested than he can
on things in which he is.
"So sometimes I start out with
my good dothes on days that turn
out to be rainy, though oftener I
wear my old dothes on days that
turn out bright and sunny, when 1
might just as well have worn my
good ones, necessity naturally tend-
ing to make one overcautious.
"But still, I can’t afford to take a
chance.
"I wouldn’t want to be as rich as
Jon Jakob Aster, nor even as old
man Rodwrfdcr, but I would like to
have money enough so that I could
wear any sort of dothes I wanted to
hi any sort of weather."—New York
