SADDLE HORSES A SPECIALTY ‘ THE MOONSHINER’S LIFE. He eIs Vastly Different ital the. Man Pictured in Novels. . He Is neither a bandit nor ahighwa - man, a disturber of the peace, nor in re- spect to formularies other than'the rev- enue statutes a lawbreaker. Least of all, perhaps, is he a desperado. Within a month of the present writing, a trav- eler of one of the Tennessee railways entered the smoking car of the train. In the rear seat sat an officer in charge of a “covey” of moonshiners, flushed by him on the mountain the night be- fore. There were 12in the party. They had yielded without resistance to one man, and, most singular circumstance of all in the south; the deputy had not found it necessary to put them in irons. At their trial the members of this party will doubtless plead guilty to a man, though a little hard swearing would probably clear half of them; they will beg for mercy or for light sen- tences, and those of them who promise amendment will, most likely never be again brought in on the same charge, for the. mountaineer is prone. to keep his promise. A venerable judge, in Whom judicial severity is tempered by a generous ad- mixture of loving kindness and mercy, and whose humane decisions have made his name a word to conjure with among the dwellers in the waste places, tells a story which emphasizes the promise- keeping trait in the mountain charac- ter. A'hardened sinner of the stills, whose first and second offense were al- ready recorded' against him, was once again brought to book by the vigilance of the revenue men. As an old offender, who had neither promised'nor repented, it was likely to go hard with him, and he begged not for liberty, but for a commutation of his sentence which would send him to jail instead of the penitentiary, promising that so long as the judge remained upon the bench he-would neither make nor meddle with illicit Whisky. He won his case and was sent to jail for a term of 11 months. This was in the summer, and, six months later, when the first snows began to powdrr the bleak summits of Chilhowee. the judge received a letter from the con- vict. It was a simple-hearted petition for a “furlough” of ten days, } athetic and eloquent in its primitive English and quaint misspelling. Would the good judge let him off for just ten days? Winter was coming on, and his wife and children were alone in the cabin on the mountain, with no one to make provision for their wants. He .would not overstay the time, and he would “certain shore” come back. His petition was granted, and, true to his word, the mountaineer returned on the tenth day and gave himself up to the sheriff. He served the remainder of his sentence, and, after his release, kept his pledge to the judge as long as he remained on the bench. -— Lippin- cott’s Magazine. ASTRONOMICAL PROBLEM. Evolution .ae’ Applied to the Stars and , the Universe. Prof. T. J. J. Sec, of the astronomical department of the University of Chi- cago, is reported to be at work on the problem of evolution, not simply that of the earth, but that of stars and uni- verses. His leading line of thought on the subject is directed to the effects of tidal action in a gradual alteration of the orbits of bodies, this being con- sequent to the investigation of changes in the distance of the moon from the earth due to tidal action at the sur- face of one or both. Darwin (a son of the author of “The Origin of Species”) «. has led in this investigation, the results of which are stated in popular form by Sir Robert Ball in his “Story of the Heavens.” It is shown that the formation of tides on the earth causes the effective centers of attraction to be some dis- tance away from the center of the un- disturbed spheroid, for which reason the, line joining the effective centers of gravity in the two bodies forms a small angle with the line that other- wise would be the one along which the two bodies would tend to fall toward each other, and the movement is cor- respondingly > different from what it would be in the undisturbed orbit. This tidal movement accounts for the widening out of the distance between the earth and moon and the lengthen- ing of the lunar month from a few hours to about four weeks," and it is easy to see that the process is far from being ended. . Prof. See is applying this line of rea- soning to some of the double stars, and proposes to extend it to all of them it results seem to justify it. He has computed from observed perturbations the probable existence of a yet. unseen star connected with a “binary” in the constellation Ophiuchus, but the fact hardly justifies the assertion that he‘ has “discovered" it. Perhaps the stran- ger may be seen through the new Yerkes telescope when that instrument is put into active Service, and, if so, the work Of the computer will deserve to rank second ’only to that by which the existence of the planet Neptune was made known about 50 years ago—Chi- cago Tribune. Not Much to It. The sweet girl paused before her fa- ther’s chair, an appearance 'of inde- cision amounting almost to dread upon her face. “How do you like it?” she asked, hes- itatingly.

I ~' I bow ” - WEALTH 0F FRENCH STATESMEN l, Grevy and Thi‘érs the Wealthiest of the Dead Presidents. ‘There seems to be an impression among the French people in general, according to the Paris Figaro, that the various French presidents have been men of great wealth. This arises pos- sibly from the fact that the civil list of the'presidents 15 1,200,000 francs ($240,- 000) a year. But the journal declares that the impression is erroneous. “This is not even true,” adds the Fig— aro, “of M. Grevy. This affirmation may seem paradoxical regarding the father-in-lpw of Mr. Wilson. It is, however, absolutely true. When M. Grevy became president in 1879 he had an income of 20,000 francs. At his death, in 1891, he left, in additionmto his former fortune and the estate of Mont- sous-Vaudrey, real estate in Paris val- ued at 2,000,000 francs and 4,000,000 francs in bonds and stocks. These 6,000,000 francs represented the savings of M. Grevy during his nine years as president. He drew 1,200,000 francs a year, and as an old man did not use more than the half of it. The French criticised him severely for his niggard- liness; but when a man is 80 years old and has always lived simply, it is impos- sible for him to spend 100,000 a month. But he is also the only one who made anything out of the presidency. “The first president of the republic, M. Thiers, was twenty-seven months in office, but without pecuniary profit to himself. He had married Mlle. Dosne in 1833, and when he died, forty- four years later, the considerable pat- rimony of his wife, added to his in- come from the ‘History of the Consul- ate and the Empire,’ the fruit of a long, laborious life, did not make a. fortune of more than 3,000,000 francs. This in- cluded the value of his famous house in St. George’s place and his collections of art, estimated to be worth a large amount. But M. Grevy and M. Thiers were the only presidents in twenty-five years (excepting M. Casimir-Perier) who after leaving the Elysee were not obliged to use the omnibus in making their tour about Paris. Here are the others: . “All the world knows that Marshal MacMahon, in the course of his presi-. dency (May 26,, 1873, to January 30, 1879) ate up his patrimonial estates. At his death in 1893 he owned only two small estates, sold a year ago. He was obliged to live from his salary 'as field marshal. “We now pass from a marshal whom the presidency impoverished to M. Car- not. Sadi Carnot, a modest, conscien- income from the state, and his private income in addition thereto. This pri- vate income at the time of his election amounted to 50,000 francs, and this he left to his widow and children when he died. His widow declined the pension offered her by the government. “It is said that Gambetta, for many years leader of the republicans and prime minister, paid his cook more than many a. cabinet minister received. However, he left an income of 8,000 francs to his son and a bundle of bonds. “Another president of the chamber, Burdeau, died poor, and the chamber had to care for his heirs. Jules Ferry also lessened his fortune by politics.” PASSING OF THE MULE. Little Further Use for the Animal in the World. ' At the Eureka colliery, Winderist, Pa., where eleven thousand tons of bituminous coal are turned out every month, there is not a single mule drag- ging out its gloomy life in the long un- derground works. Electricity has re- placed animal power to good advantage to the mine operators and to the mules as well. At present, says the Philadel- phia Inquirer, there are in the colliery nine thousand one hundred and thirty feet of track, having a gauge of thirty- six inches. The coal is collected inpcars holding about a ton each, which are made up into trains of twenty-five to forty cars. Formerly the cars were connected together by chains and hooks, but since electricity was adopted they have been supplied with link and pin couplings. The grades, as a rule, are under two per cent., and the most of. them are fa- vorable to the loaded trains. Just at present one locomotive is in use. It is a little over ten feet long, five feet wide and exerts a. pull of fifteen hun- dred pounds at a speed of eight miles an hour. The current is taken from a bare copper wire by a trolley and the locomotive cai be operated when the trolley wire is only three feet above the rails. The whole car is protected by a strong covering from damage by fall- ing rock. Three more locomotives have been ordered for the switching service inside the mine. They are somewhat smaller and are designed for apull of about eight hundred pounds at the drawbar. The power-house is a ” little frame building containing a six- teen by five and a half-foot boiler, a one hundred-horse power engine and a ninety-kilowatt generator. The own- ers of the mine are so pleased with the operation of the electric haulage plant that they have been installing one at another of their collieries» . A_Good Shot. 4 Prince de J oinville tells in » his "Memoirs” a story that is rather hard on the Americans he found, during his visit to this country in war times. “One of the chief members of society at the time was the British minister, Mr. Fox, a diplomatist of the old school. 1 was told that one day as he was leaning against a chimney piece in a drawing- room, where dancing was going on, .in deep conversation, an American came and stood just inlfront of him in 3. Soon the young man began to show signs of anxiety; his voice grew thick, his cheeks swelled al.- ternately, and be cast anxious glances at the chimney piece. At last he could hold no longer, and with the most ad- mirable precision he shot all the juice of his quid into the fireplace. just be- tween Mr. Fox and his interlocutor. tented himself with saying, with a. ' at sight!’ ”—Dprfbarbier.

" CONJURER WAS CONFIDENCED. His Accomplice in a Trick Did Not Live Up to His Agreement. An illusicnist was talking the other day of some of the accidents that some- times spoil the art of the conjurer. “It was in Nashville, Tenn,” he said, ' “that I experienced a real knock-down blow. I was performing the well— known trick of passing a. marked coin into the center of an uncut orange. At least, that’s what a good many people thought I was doing. I used a silver dollar and emphasized the trick by passing the coin into the pocket of some boy whom I had enticed on to the stage. I will openly confess that the boy had to be a confederate and that the marked coin had its fellow in one previously prepared by me. One night as 1 was entering the theater, I looked around for a likely youth to aid me in my double dealing. I picked a boy and promised to pass him in‘ if he would follow my instructions. “ ‘I am a conjurer,’ I said. ,‘I want you to put this dollar in your right- hand trousers pocket. I’ll get you a seat in the front row. When I ask for Somebody to come on the stage you must come. Then I will ask you to produce the dollar.’ “The boy promised everything, and, after making arrangements for him at the door, I left him. When I was ready for the dollar trick, I saw my young confederate sitting open-mouthed in the front row. I had prevailed upon another member of the audience to lend me a dollar marked exactly as was that I had given to the boy. “I passed that borrowed dollar into the orange, cut the fruit open and out dropped the coin. Then I went on: “ ‘And now, ladies and gentlemen, I will perform a. still more difficult feat. I have passed the dollar into the orange. ‘Now I will ask some member of the au- , dicnce to step on the stage, and, with- out going anywhere near him, I will pass the same dollar, marked as you have seen, into the right-hand trousers pocket.’ “True to his bargain,the boy stepped to the stage, I stepped opposite himand asked: “ ‘N ow, sir, have you ever seen me be- fore?’ ‘ “ ‘No, sir,’ was the answer. “ ‘I have here a dollar,’ I continued. ‘I am going to pass it into your right« hand trousers pocket. One—two— three—gol’ “I made the pf’oper magician’s pass, and smiled upon my audience. “ ‘Now,’ I said to my assistant, ‘put your hand into your right-hand trou- sers pocket, and give me the dollar.’ “The boy looked a bit sheepish, but he dived his fist down. Then, to‘ my unutterable horror, he produced a. handful of silver and said: “‘I’ve only got 90 cents of it left, Sir.’ . “I went out in a hurry and took a drink.”—N. Y. Times.
