Rucker, of St. Pierre, at the Ebbitt. “It is called the fer de lance, and its bite is regarded as invariably fatal. It is not aggressive in the daytime, but when night comes it begins to move about, and on that ac- count is a terror to people who are traveling after dark, for it will spring at any one who gets in its immediate neighborhood. “Unlike the rattler, it gives no warn: ing of its presence. The natives man- age to keep down the number of these reptiles by using ferrets, but they de- stroy only a. small per cent., and large numbers infest the fields and forests.”— Washington Post.

The Prince of Wales, an honorary member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston, has ac- cepted the invitation of that gorgeous phalanx of warriors to dine with them in London, which they propose to seize and occupy next summer. It is possi- ble that the Prince had the happiness of gazing upon some of these renowned Massachusetts martialists when he vis- . ited the United States in 1860, but they have improved greatly since then. For one thing their appetites are better. Thirty-six years of unshrinking trench- er work have done wonders for them. And then their uniforms. The Prince has a pretty fair collection of toga and frogs, and, and belongs to a number of armies and regiments, but he cannot compete with the Ancients. Every man of them has to have 366 uniforms before he can be admitted to the com- pany. The Prince will be mightily edi- fied by an inspection of the uniforms and appetites of his hosts. The price of burgundy in London has been advanced twelve shillings a. dozen, and the price of champagne eight and six. ALI. DONE IN AN HOUR. What a Woman :Cun Accomplish in Sixty Mlnutou’ Time. “Please state to the court exactly what you did between 8 and 9 o’clock on Wednesday morning," said a. lawyer to a delicate looking little woman on the witness stand. “Well,” she said, after a moment's reflection, “I washed my two children and got them ready for school, and sewed a button on Johnny’s coat and mended a rent in Nelly’s dress. Then I tidied up my sitting room and made two beds and watered my house plants and glanced over the morning paper. Then I dusted my parlor and set things to rights in it, and washed some lamp chimneys, and combed my baby’s hair! and sewed a button on one of her little shoes, and then I swept out my front entry and brushed and put away the children’s Sunday clothes, and wrote a. note to Johnny’s teacher, asking her to excuse him for not being at school on Friday. Then I fed my canary bird and cleared OR the breakfast table and gave the groceryman an order and swept ofi the back porch, and then I sat down and rested a few minutes be- fore the clock struck nine. That’s all.” “All!" said the dazed lawyer. “Ex- cuse me, judge; I must get my breath before I call the next witness.”—-De- troit Free Press. Frank J amen In a New Role. Frank James is on guard on express trains carrying large amounts of money or valuables is one of the novelties the express people are now arranging. Ne- gotiations have beeu in progress now for several weeks, but the ’probabilities are that they will be closed soon. The effect of James’ name, in view of ' his former prowess in robbing trains himself, is what the express companies are aiming after. They do not know, they say, that he could stop a determin- ed robber any more than one of their own messengers, but they think the or- dinary train robber would hesitate to tackle him. James is willing to accept the position, and guarantee that no train in his charge will be robbed, ex- cept over his dead body, with one single provision, that the express company put up a. bond of $20,000, this amount to go to his widow in case of his death. The express people are inclined to yield to this, though there is some opposition. James has been firm in standing out for it, and will not go on the road unless the bond is fixed up to his satisfaction. Since he became a. respectable and law- abiding citizen, he has taken very good care of his family, and he does not pro- pose to commence doing anything else now. When the negotiations were first begun, he was asked if he could shoot with both hands. “Well,” he replied, “it used to 'be that I could, and I guess I have not forgotten how.” James has been working steadily for some time, but has never been able to make an exorbitant salary, and for that reason would be willing to take the risk of this venture. As one of his friends says, “It is not as much risk as he has taken on hundreds of occasions before, when he was out on one of his raids. The only difference would be that in this case he would have the law on his side.” How It is Done. The Spanish general gazed intently at a. map of Cuba. Poising his lead pencil in the 'air, he whirled it gently in circles. _ Then. closing his eyes, he began to re; peat a Spanish translation of "Dickery, dickery, dock.” As the last words left his lips he brought the pencil down, and, opening his eyes. saw the point rested on the name “Arroya. la Viej a.” . "That sounds all right,” he observed, complacently. Then, turning to the secretary, he said: “I have selected the name of our latest victory. Telegraph that we de- feated the insurgents yesterday in a. tremenduous battle at Arroyo 1a. Vi-. eye.” “Were they commanded by Gomez or Maceo?” ' . “I don’t know,” said the General, pet- ulantly. “Whose turn is it to be de- feated? Can‘t you attend to the details without bothering me? I have enough to do to ai’gange the general plan of campaign.”—Puck. . An Expert. “Is Spinner an expert rider of the bicycle?" ' "I should say so.
