I The driver of a grain truck stood at
the bend of bis two huge white horse
lining Ills pipe. Ills was the loading
truck on the ferryboat bound for New
' Vork. and. Incidentally stableward for
I I ho town from Jersey City. Tlio
horses accustomed to tlio water Jour-
ney paid Utile heed to what was going
! on about them until the driver drew
out his paper of tobacco; then they
'raised their dejected heads nnd set
their oars forward. The off horso close
to Which the driver stood reached out
and pushed the man at tbo shoulder.
"I know what you wnnt" he said
without turning around going on with
tlio plpo-filllng.
Again the horse nudged him and the
driver took n large pinch of tobacco
from tho paper rolled It Into n llttlo
wad and to the surprise of those who
had been watching thrust It Into tho
horse's mouth. "You want sbnio too?"
This to the ulgh horse who lmd been
mining loudly. A second wnd of to-
bacco was rolled and tho nigh horso
was treated as his fellow had been.
Both horseu chewed away with evi-
dent satisfaction and before the Now
York flip was leached had received
second portions of tobacco. Tho driver
turned to it bystander and said:
- "Thoy'd beg all my tobacco If I'd lot
I'om. Fond-of it? I should say so. It
would take more money than I'vo got
to keep 'em supplied with all they
' could oat. The fellow would eat papor
mid all."
I To Rubsttiitlato his word tho- man
held tbo paper under tho horse's noao
i nd In a moment the animal bad seized
I It between its troth. Only the driver's
quick band saved the tobacco for his
; own use. New York Times.
IAY THE FIRST TO WEAR A GOWN.

"l'ow people 1 venture to say even
In high official positions know what
lustlco first vioio the gown in the Su-
preme CoiM-t of the United States" said
Hannls Taylor of Mobile Ala. Mr.
Taylor Is a recognized authority among
the writers of law books being the
author of two "The Origin and Growth
af the Knglisli Constitution" and "In-
ternal lonal Republic Law." In 1893
Mr. Taylor was appointed United
1 States minister to Spain by President
Cleveland. Ho returned to this coun-
try in 1897. Mr. Tnylor la now work-
ing on nnother edition of "The Origin
md Growth of the Kngllah Constitu-
tion." "At the clerk's olllce to-day" resumed
Mr. Tnylor "the question of who first
woie tho gown came up and wo inves-
tigated It and found that when Justice
John Jay took the olllce he thought the
members of the supreme court should
wear a gown of somo sort. According-
ly he appeared In his own academic
gown which he wore by virtue of hav-
ing received n degree from the Uni-
versity of Dublin or as it was thon
known 'Trinity College.' It was a trl-
colored gown too. Such n garment
would look peculiar now since the
black gown has been adopted." Wash-

It is reported from the far cast that
tho builders of the Damascus-Mc-cca
stivet railway havo expended $2000.-
000 on tho project and that tho road-
bed for a distance of twenty-live miles
Is teady for the rails. The capitalists
In that part of the world appear to
have very llttlo confidence In this kind
of enterprise as the management an-
nounces that it has decided to secure
what additional funds arc necessary
for tho completion of the enterprise
through tho sale of tho skins of sheep
that have been offered ns a sacrifice.
The fact that many thousands of dol-
lars will be required to placo the road
in condition for operation leads to the
conclusion that the business of sacri-
ficing these animals is one of the chief
activities of the Orlont.
Another peculiar feature In the
building of this road is that all the
epibankments and grading have been
the work of regulnr soldiers. It would
seem that the original Investors mlgnt
loo.c for n fair return even with
moderato amount of business.

Lord Palmcrston's reception of Louis
Kossuth whon the latter visited Eng-

rebuke from the prime minister Lord

cause his fellow passengers Insist that
ho shall have It. His politeness is' of
tho old old school nnd his deference
to the ladies is beautiful to behold

A young woman. Indeed an cxtreino-
ly handsome and well-drossod young
woman was seated before him. The
old gentleman whose eyesight Is no
longer of tho clearest noticed a bug
In the knot of hair bunched above the
white nock of the fair young woman
a shining green bug nearly as large
as one's thumb nail. Ho leaned for-
ward to perform an act of kindness;
he would brush the insect away. Ho
brushed. Tho bug to his viow. but
took a firmer clasp on Its lodging
place.
The old gentleman made a second nt-
tempt. With thumb and fingor ho
seized the insect and pulled vigorously.
Tho young woman turned at this; fire
was in her radiant eyes anger In her
voice. She uttered but one word
"S-l-r!"
It was enough. The old gentleman
was paralyzed. He attempted to ox-
plain but his tongue refused to make
an articulate sound. Covered with
confusion he touched the electric but-
ton and alighted at tho next crosslns.
A few of the passengers smiled; one
or two oven laughed. Tho bug was n
