The London zoological gardens have recently acquired two new condors, which are probably the rarest and most valuable birds by that great institution. An artist who went to inspect the new condors found them dis- on the stump of a tree, and was somewhat disappointed at their appearance. Having read that these birds occasionally measured eighteen feet from wing to wing, ho was surprised to find them consider- ably smaller than himself. The condor belongs to the vulture family. Although its size has been frequently exaggerated by travelers, it undoubtedly attains a great size. The ordinary expanse of the wings in a full-grown bird Is said to be about nine feet, and the height four feet, but the wing measurement is sometimes as great as fourteen feet. The wings are long In proportion to the body and extremely power- The tail is short and wedge- shaped. The general color is black and is brightest in the males. Around the lower part of the neck there is a broad, white ruffle of downy feathers. Above this tho head is bare and of a raw The male has a large cartilaginous comb on his head and a wattle on his neck.

The cooking was conquered, and Laura had won ft graduate's laurels. She invited her friends to dinners and teas, which were highly praised, and old housekeepers asked for her recipes. It was a triumph of art, and Laura was proud of her success, as she had a right to be. Now, strange as it may seem, there is nothing so insipid as the dead level calm of happiness.

It is a well-known fact that the president never accepts any invitation either to dinners or receptions at a foreign legation, and that throughout the term of his office as chief magistrate of the United States he has never upon any occasion entered the doors of a legation. The reason for this is because in so doing be is conforming to tho conditions of the constitution of the United States.

As the legations in Washington arc each under the flag of the tries represented, they virtually represent the countries Into which, for the four years indicated, the president is prohibited from enter- That President made exception to this rule was due to the fact that the Russian legation a church in which the me- services for the czar were held.

They exchanged vows and the girl received some trifling gifts from her admirer Called away soon after on business. the young man kept up a desultory correspondence with his betrothed. As soon as he could he went back to his native village, only V find the girl false and the wife of another. Hers, it appeared, had been merely a girlish fancy. She was now the contented wife of a man whom she loved. The disappointed suitor tried to arrange a meeting with her, but all his endeavors were foiled. Finally he wrote to her insisting upon the return of the gifts he had once made. This the young woman foolishly re- fused to do. The discarded suitor that night forced his way into the dwelling of his former love and her husband. He cutoff the wife's head in the barbarous fashion, and then seizing the husband, who was trying to escape, stabbed him to death. Taking the woman's head with him he returned to his own house. He placed the head on a low table, and, after upbraiding it in the bitterest terms, deliberately cut his own throat. Death was Francisco Examiner. SHE KISSED HIM. TENNYSON'S FLOWERS.

Tennyson speaks of skin as clean and white as privet when It and truly the privet, with its prim leaves and small white flowers, looks a very Puritan for neatness and simplicity.

Passages such as walk of roses from door lo door, A of lilies It lo the from tho Idylls might have been written by many others, and bell flowers, though may be grateful to Tennyson for preserving the old- fashioned name, are easily paralleled from many poets.

JOHN F. DIVINE, General F. Manager. T. M, W. J.

Have you got one for that you grinned Chicago, I'll show it to you when you've had your forget that, said the man, turning to the listeners. now for mine. Five years ago I was a deputy United States mar- in southeastern Kentucky, and most of my business was with moon- shiners. I had pretty fair success and bagged a lot of them, but there was one, the chief of the gang and the worst of thorn all, that we couldn't get our hands on. One day, however, word to me that he was at his cabin in the mountain, end if I could get there with a force of men we might surround the place and capture him, as he had just come, in and expected to get out again before we should hear any- thing of him. In ten minutes I was on my way to his cabin with ten men, all armed with heavy and all moving out by differ- ways, so as not to excite and let him get on to our movements. We were to meet at a point about half a mile from his house and then swoop down on it and take him in. The first part of the pro- gramme went off all right, and hour after I had heard he was at home I had his house surrounded. Then I rode to the door and yelled and a woman came out. your asked, for I knew her quite well. do you want she responded. want to see you I'm going to just the I hoard he was here not an hour ago, and he's got to come this reckon she said, and dodged in, shutting the door after her with a slam, and barring it on the inside, as I could very plainly hear. before we had a chance to make a rush a gun went off in the house and a bullet went against a tree near me. I thought it was time to get under cover, and did so with promptness and dis- patch, and at once ordered my men to close up and fire on the house. This they did with pleasure, but we might as well have fired at a stock- for the cabin was built of heavy logs, and nothing short of a howitzer could have any serious effect upon it. We banged away, though, and every now and then a shot came from the inside, and whistled disagreeably near us. One time, when one of my men showed up where he could get a shot at the only pane of glass visible, two shots came after him so closely that he stayed in hiding for the rest of the time. This was about nine o'clock in the morning, and we at last con- that, as there were children and a woman in the house with our could not very well burn it down, even if we could get close enough to fire it; we would simply camp on their trail and starve them out. So we took our places to command every point to prevent escape, and waited. At intervals a shot would come from the cabin, but we would not pay any attention to it, thinking that our man might think we had gone and come out, but he didn't, and the long day wore on. It was raining, too. after noon, and we were decidedly uncomfortable, but we had our game c ed, and we were bound to get him or stay there a year. However, it was not to be that we were to remain quite that long, for about eight o'clock in the evening, when it was so dark we couldn't see our hands before us, and had come up so close to the cabin that we trusted to our ears instead of our eyes-to catch the moonshiner in case he tried to get away under cover of darkness, the door was thrown open and the woman called. is I asked from be- hind a stump in the yard. can come in you wan she replied. your old man to come I won't do the she said, in a most, womanly ion. want him, come in after parleyed awhile, fearing but when she handed out two guns and punched up the fire on the hearth, until the cabin was brilliant- I called up my men and went inside, the woman standing meanwhile in the middle of the floor, with four or five children clinging to her skirts. Every man of us had his revolver his hand. and expected trouble, though it nanny under toe stances. Once inside we had made a thorough search of the one room of the cabin in a very few minutes, and as the floor was mostly earth we did not feel like going for a cellar, not- withstanding there was no sign of the moonshiner in the room where were. He was clean gone, and there could be no doubt on that point. It was so unexpected and disappointing that I looked at the woman helplessly. In reply she laughed at me. your I asked, because there wasn't much else to say. do I she answered, provokingly. he beer, here all course he He that big a been doing the shooting and she gave me the laugh again.

Rover is the name of a white-and- black spaniel that for the past month has followed truck of Front street to all fires where the services of the company were needed. Truck only responds to calls in the sections of the city where there are high buildings, but there have been a number of calls to break Rover in to his new duties. It is a strange story that the fire- men tell of how the dog happened to take up with their manner of life. It was in the early part of August, they say, that when going at full speed to a fire on the west side tho animal was first seen following the apparatus and barking as if he thought his efforts would spur the four grays to a greater speed. Tho dog was allowed to follow the truck back to the house, where he has since remained. He is a great pet of the fire laddies, who named him Rover, after the old hand engine Red Rover. Rover sleeps in the stable with the horses and during the night if a call comes he will bark and run about, impatient for the firemen to leave the building. The men say that when their pet gets used to a fire man's life he will be more calm when an alarm is Herald. It May So U Much YoU.

Not long ago a twenty dollar note was sent to the United States treas- for redemption. Accompanying it was an affidavit saying that the owner put it in a cigar box, mice had got at it and nibbled it. The note was a counterfeit. Not only that, but it had been through the treasury here at some previous time, and had been stamped with the word in letters cut out of the paper. But tho alleged mice had almost obliterated the letters by nibbling them. It was a queer way for mice to behave, to say the least of it. A detective of the was sent to look the matter up. He investigated the case fully, and reported that it was all short, that the note had been submitted for redemption in good faith. The owner, it appears, was an old German sailor of respectable char- Nevertheless he would go on an occasional spree. Waking up one morning he found all his money gone except this note of twenty dollars. Somebody had, doubtless, passed It off on him. He noticed nothing wrong about it, and had put it into the cigar box in which he kept not- only his ready money, but also bird- seed for his pet canary.

The success in Boston of the Longfellow noonday rest, last year, is of a nature to en- courage its duplication in other places. Tho rest is in tho busy part of the city and was opened for the exclusive use of women employed in its vicinity. There is a sunny, cheerful lounging room, with easy chairs and comfortable sofas, and work baskets and magazines strewed on tables Invite a member to the stitch in time or the peep into In the leisure moments of her noon hour. The payment of ten cents a week entitles one to the of tho rest, not the least of which is the opportunity to enjoy at moderate price tho excellent food served from the well-ordered kitchen, which is a chief feature of the rest.

Not to Fragrant Crop Is Not Apt Become More Expensive. Tea has not yet been seriously in price by the Chinese war and for a very good reason. Hos- have not In the least affected either the tea district, nearly ell in the south of China, or the ports from which It is exported. While some tea is produced in north China, the foreign supply comes almost together from regions removed from the war and its influence, says the Philadelphia Press. In addition, the proportionate share of tea pro- by China is steadily diminish- In 1880-83 of the average product of pounds China produced pounds. In 1883, however, while the product of China remained stationary the prod- of other countries had grown from to and It is now still larger. Work He Does. How much docs a newspaper man write in a year An old newspaper worker has sat down and figured it out. He figures that he writes an average of a column and a half every day, except for his Sunday paper, when he contributes three This makes twelve columns a week, and, allowing for two he has fifty weeks in a year, in which time he turns out 8-10,000 words. An ordinary book of short stories contains about words, therefore his year's labor Is to twenty books. At this rate of comparison the feat of Marion Crawford in publishing two books per annum does not strike tho news- paper man as an Incredibly hard task, even allowing for the extra amount of thought involved in story writing.

Trial I Mi i f The man from Chicago had told his story, and while the listeners in the smoking-car were digesting it a quiet man, smoking a bad cigar, gave a slight cough indicative of be- ginning a yarn himself.

Have you got one for that you grinned Chicago, I'll show it to you when you've had your forget that, said the man, turning to the listeners. now for mine. Five years ago I was a deputy United States mar- in southeastern Kentucky, and most of my business was with moon- shiners. I had pretty fair success and bagged a lot of them, but there was one, the chief of the gang and the worst of them all, that we couldn't get our hands on. One however, word came to me that he was at his in the mountain, and if I could get there with a force of men we might surround the place and capture him. as he had just come and expected to get out again before we should hear any- thing of him. In ten minutes I was on my way to his cabin with ten men, all armed with heavy and all moving out by differ- ways, so as not to excite and let him get on to our movements. We were to meet at a point about half a mile from his house and then swoop down on it and take him in. The first part of the pro- gramme went off all right, and an hour after I had heard he was at home I had his house surrounded. Then I rode to the door and yelled and a woman came out. your asked, for I knew her quite do you want she responded. want to see you I'm going to just the I hoard he was here not an hour ago, and he's got to come this reckon she said, and dodged in, shutting the door after her with a slam, and barring it on the inside, as I could very plainly hear. before we had a chance to make a rush a gun went off the house and a bullet went against a tree near me. I thought it was time to get under cover, and did so with promptness and dis- patch, and at once ordered my men to close up and fire on the house. This they did with pleasure, but we might as well have fired at a stock- for the cabin was built of heavy logs, and nothing short of a howitzer could have any serious effect upon it. We banged away, though, and every now and then a shot came from the inside, and whistled disagreeably near us. One time, when one of my men showed up where he could get a shot at the only pane of glass visible, two shots came after him so closely that he staved In hiding for the rest of the time. This was about nine o'clock in the morning, and we at last con- that, as there were children and a woman in the house with our we could not very well burn it down, even if we could get close enough to fire it; we would simply camp on their trail and starve them out. So we took our places to command every point to prevent escape, and waited. At intervals a shot would come from the cabin, but we would not pay any attention to it, thinking that our man might think we had gone and come out, but he didn't, and the long day wore on. It was raining, too, after noon, and we were decidedly uncomfortable, but had our game and we were bound to get him or stay there a year. However, it was not to be that we were to remain quite that long, for about eight o'clock in the evening, when it was so dark we couldn't see our hands before us, and had come up so close to the cabin that we trusted to our ears instead of our eyes to catch the moonshiner in case he tried to get away under cover of darkness, the door was thrown open and the woman called. is I asked from be- hind a stump in the yard. can come in you wan she replied. your old man to come won't do the she said, in a most womanly ion. want him, come in after parleyed awhile, fearing but she handed out two guns and punched up the lire on the hearth, until the cabin was brilliant- I called up my men and went inside, the woman standing in the middle of the floor, with four or five children clinging to her skirts. Every man of us had his revolver his hand, and we expected trouble, though it under the stances. Once inside had made a thorough search of the one room of the cabin in a very few minutes, and as the floor was mostly earth we did not feel like going for a cellar, not- withstanding there was no sign of the moonshiner in the room where we were. He was clean and there could be no doubt on that point. It was so unexpected and disappointing that I looked at the woman helplessly. In reply she laughed at me. your I asked, because there wasn't much else to say. do I she answered, provokingly. he been here all course he He that big a been doing the shooting she gave me the laugh again.

Rover is the name of a white-and- black spaniel that for the past month has followed truck of Front street to all fires where the services of the company were needed. Truck only responds to calls in the sections of the city where there are high buildings, but there have been a number of calls to break Rover in to his new duties. It Is a strange story that the fire- men tell of how the dog happened to take up with their manner of life. It was in the early part of August, they say, that when going at full speed to a fire on the west side the animal was first seen following the apparatus and barking as if he thought his efforts would spur the four grays to a greater speed. The dog was allowed to follow the truck back to the house, where he has since remained. lie is a great pet of the fire laddies, who named him Rover, after the old hand engine Red Rover. Rover sleeps in the stable with the horses and during the night if a call comes he will bark and run about, impatient for the firemen to leave the building. The men say that when their pet gets used to a fire- man's life he will be more calm when an alarm is Herald. It May Do Much Ton. Mr. Miller, of living.

THE BILLS ALMOST READY. Last night in the Auditor's office there was a meeting of the Populists and Republicans of the Joint Committee of House and Senate on Elections and County Government. The meeting lasted about one hour and a half, and u the muck a mucks invited as the grannies at the christening were Capt- Harry Skinner, Judge Bus sell, Major Guthrie, Ma- Butler, Major Grant, Tom Purnell, and others, who looked as if they wanted to be doing something.

The note was a counterfeit. Not only that, but it had been through the treasury here at some previous time, and had been stamped with the word in letters cut out of the paper. But the alleged mice had almost obliterated the letters by nibbling around them. It was a queer way for mice to behave, to say the least of It. A detective of the was sent to look the matter up. He Investigated the case fully, and reported that it was all short, that the note had been submitted for redemption in good faith.

The success in Boston of the Longfellow noonday rest, last year, Is of a nature to en its duplication in other places.

The payment of ten cents a week entitles one to the of the rest, not the least of which is the opportunity to enjoy at moderate price the excellent food served from the well-ordered kitchen, which is a chief feature of the rest. Great is taken to serve the food In tempting fashion.

The to Fragrant Crop Is Not Apt Become More Expensive. Tea has not yet been seriously in price by the Chinese war and for a very good reason. Hos- have not in the least affected either the tea district, nearly all in the south of China, or the ports from which is exported. While some tea is produced north China, the foreign supply comes almost together from regions removed from the war and its influence, says the Philadelphia Press. In addition, the proportionate share of tea pro- by China is steadily diminish- In 1880-83 of the average product of pounds China produced pounds. In 1883, however, while the product of China remained stationary the prod- of other countries had grown from to is now still larger. Work He Does. How much docs a newspaper man write in a year An old newspaper worker has sat clown figured it out. He figures that he writes an average of a column and a half every day, except for his Sunday paper, when he contributes three columns. This makes twelve columns a week, and, allowing for two he has fifty weeks in a year, in which time he turns out words. An ordinary book of short stories contains about words, therefore his year's labor is to twenty books. At this rate of comparison the feat of Marion Crawford in publishing two books per annum does not strike tho news- paper man as an Incredibly hard task, even allowing for the extra amount of thought involved in story writing. Mr. Howells considers one thousand words a good day's work. Thomas Is satisfied with four words, or a little over a quarter of a Sentinel.
