Tetnew, of Galveston, Tex., the other night, “one is led to believe that the western, par- ticularly the far southwestern, citizen is a pretty bad man, whose chief amuse- ment and means of gaininga livelihood consist of highway robbery. But I think the finest piece of ‘holding up’ I ever heard of was accomplished by a young New Yorker who traveled in our articles manufactory. “This young man,” he continued,“‘was traveling in the state of Coahuila, Mex- ico, about two years ago and went one nightto Saltillo, the capital of the state. It was the first time he had been in the town, and, after transacting a little business, he started out to see the sights. As he entered an isolated street he was suddenly confronted by a brig- andish-looking fellow, who, in glib mongrel Spanish, demanded his valu- ables, with accompanying gestures that made his meaning perfectly intelligible to the intended victim. The highway- man held in one hand along, sinister- looking knife and waved it about in a suggestive manner which implied the necessity of ready compliance with his wishes or a tragic result. , “But the salesman was a man of quick wit and ready resources. Instead of handing over his property he thrust his hand into his pocket, and a moment later the cold, shiny barrel of what seemed to be a revolver was pointed at the would-be robber’s head. “ ‘Excuse me,’ said the young man, ‘but this is my game.’ “Naturally, the surprise caused by the unexpected production of the sup- posed revolver produced a change in the confident manner in which the rob- ber had confronted the New Yorker, and he started back. Instantly the salesman knocked the knife from his hand, stooped 'down, picked it up, took the highwayman by the collar before he could escape and marched him before the police authorities. At the prelim- inary trial of the would-be robber the following morning thé’ guilt of the pris- oner was already established, and his commitment was about to follow when he asked if it were not an offense for strangers in the country to carry con- cealed weapons. He was told that it was. Then he demanded the arrest of the young salesman, charging him with carrying a revolver. The native jus- tice asked the salesman if the charge was true. This was admitted. He was then asked if he still had the weapon concealed on his person. The young man said he had, but pleaded that its possession had the night before pre- vented a robbery and possibly murder. He was informed that such a circum- stance did not alter the case and that he had violated the la'. . “The prisoner smiled sardonically on beholding the tight place into which the authorities were seemingly draw- ing the New Yorker, but his mirth turned to disgust when the young man pulled the revolver from hispocket and laid it down before the magistrate. It was nothing but a. cologne atomizer fashioned in the shape of a revolver, such as were manufactured in quanti- ties several years ago.”-—Balti more Sun. “summer.

I The British vice-consul in Venice in his last report says that mosaics still continue in great demand there, says the London Times. A well-known com- pany executed last year a. splendid mo-I saic for a palace now in course of con- struction in Vienna It measures 1,000 square feet and is copied from cartoons by the painter, Edward Weith. It rep- resents the five parts of the world. Eu,- rope stands in the center of the frieze, represented by the symbolic figures of its various nations, having on one side the emblem-s of industry and trade and at the top the emblem of the flying genius of light. On the right are the figures of Asia, India, China and J apan, with their rajahs, mandarins and the allegorical chrysanthemum. Next fol- lows Africa, with camel-drivers, palm trees and other African symbols; on the left, America and Australia, with natives on horseback and on foot, foli- age and other emblems. , All this variety of types, from the fair Circassian down to the negro, and the display of costumes, from the most decorative to the simplest, have enabled the painter to arrange 24 figures with, great delicacy of color and in an artis- tic manner. Over these figures, which rest on an ornamental base, a blue sky reflects all around its light so as to unite all the tints of the mosaic and to give the whole a. harmony of effect which is said to be most delightful to the eye. The same company is execut- ing another important mosaic for the apse of the Guards’ chapel at the Wel- lington barracks in London from car- toons. OUR DAILY BREAD. The ‘Kind Most Common Now Was Un- known Last Century. Much rye bread was eaten in this country in the beginning of the century, and much rye and Indian—a healthful compound that disappeared when stoves superseded the huge brick oven in which the maize ingredient was rendered di- gestible by being cooked all night. The snowy Wheaten loaf, as the staple bread of the land, dates only back to the cul- tivation of the wheat fields of New York in the early part of this century; and simultaneously there seems to arise a “fashion” of white bread. The using of bread made from anything less than “the best Genesee flour” was thought a. mark of poverty. About 1840 there ap- peared about an even distribution of dyspepsia throughou: the northern and enstern states, m02e~ especially among those well—to-do people who used only the “best Genesee.” One investigator announced that the root of the mischief lay in robbing the wheat of its best ele- ments in the process of milling, and taking away its outer coating. This man was Sylvester Graham—a mono- manic-e on his own hobby, but he ren- dered ::n important service to the sci- ence of alimentation, though the epi- the “bran bread” was derisively ap- plied to the sort that still bears his name. TH-E HABIT OF DREAMING. Scientists Say It Is an Indication of In- sanity. The fullest examination into the na- ture and origin of dreams has been made by M. Moreau, the French scientist. He divides dreams into the dreams of health and the dreams that are the re- sult of the diseased state of the mind or body. In regard to the latter it need only be remarked that persistent dream- ing is one of the most invariable symp- toms of insanity, and it is a psycholog- ical fact if genius is near allied to mad- ness, genius must be expected to dream more than ordinary men. With regard to the dreams of health, they are the re— sult of an imperfect state of conscious ness or an imperfect state of sleep, ac- cording as we look at it. It. is obvious that the mind of the clever man, that is constantly occupied with many schemes and thoughts, is more liable to be awake when his body is asleep than that of the dullard, whose mind is often asleep when his body is awake. Thus the sleep of the plowboy has become pro- verbial on account of its undisturbed nature. In most. cases a. man of lively imagination and quick brain is undoubt- edly more liable to dream than the dullard. Constitutional Rhetoric. The rhetoric of the Utah constitu- tional convention is said by the New York Tribune to he often amusing. For instance, one of the delegates said'the other day: - “There is an insurance company do- ing business here that has a building that cost more than $3,000,000, and has that much more in assets. And there was a man in this town who paid that company over $5,000, who had been dead for more than two years, and that man isn’t able to collect the insurance.” The Gentleman Was Rude. A leader of the house who at one time held the office of prime minister, was noted for his indolent, gentle manner, and the soft drawl'with which he s3nt stinging sarcasm home to his oppo- \ nents. One of his l'ong-sufiering victims, however, dealt. him a. telling blow by complaining that the honorable mem- ber had been rude to him. “His man- ner,” he asserted, “was—not ungentle- manly, but it was ,less ladylike than usual.” A Cow’s Obituary. Cattle must be very precious in Borneo, when a cow receives the honor of an obituary notice in the official journal. Thus a newspaper solemnly informs its readers that “an aged cow belonging to‘the government herd met its death on the 14th by falling' into a dyke at a. secluded spot,where it was un- able to extract itself.” What Egyptians Wore. The common people among the an- cient Egyptians had wooden sandals. If We may credit the assertion of histor- ians, one of' the Egyptian queens re- ceived the revenue of one city solely to keep herself in sandals. I .Tasesvasisataizatamp. Charles C.
