An 1121113.: Confession.
A- Jewish banker of a ludicrousily He- I
braic cast of countenance, while at
Monte Carlo, recently, struck up a
great friendship with =.the Comte 'de 13.,
the wittiest humpback in Paris. .As
the latter was about to return to the
city on the Seine, in taking leave .of
the banker he expreséed the pleasure
he had found in his society, and hoped
that whenever the banker was in Paris
he would renew the acquaintance. “De-
lighted, my dear count,” exclaimed the
flattered banker; “I should be charmed!
But your friends in Paris have—er—
rather unadvanced ideas. In fact, I
must acknowledge that I am a Jew.”
“That’s all right,” replied 11., pressing
his hand cordially; and then, in the
banker’s ear, he added, “And‘I too
must make a confession—I am a hump
back!” '
Testing a Poet.
One morning, some years ago, the
eight—year—old son of Professor Royce
of Harvard was watering the lawn in
front of his father’s house at Cam-
bridge when the late James Russell
Lowell happened to pass by on his way
to Professor Eliot 'Norton’s. Directly
he recognized who it was, the boy
turned the hose upon the author of the
Bigiow Papers and drenched him from
head to foot. Professor Royce after-
wards tackled his son. “I don’t see
how you could have done it, Theo-
dore!” said he. "‘What reason was
there in doing such a thing?” Theo-
dore looked gravely at his father and
said, “There was every reason in the
world. I was extremely desirous of
knowing how a poet would behave in
such circumstances.”
Careful Consideration Fully Appreciated.
GeorgeI H. Wood. invited McCarthy
to stop in his house for the night, ow-

after his guest had retired Wood went
to the door in answer to a ring at the
bell and found McCarthy standing on
the doorstep with 'rain dripping from
him- “I went home for my pipe,” he_
explained—New York Journal.

Owing to over-crowding and bad ventil-

and impure, and teachers and pupils fle—

colds, weak lungs and bronchial troubles, no
other remedy can compare with it. Says A.

Monuments, Each'Within Sight of the

. 5 Two hundred and fifty-eight stone
and iron monuments now mark the
boundary line betwéen "the United
States and Mexico, from the Rio
Grande to the Pacific, 700 miles. Most
of the monuments are cast-iron, but
the principal ones are of stone. They
average about two and a half miles
apart, but in no case is there an inter-
val of as much as five miles between
them. _Stone was used wherever pos-
Generally they are in the form
of a simple tapering, four-sided shaft,
bearing suitable inscriptions in Eng-
lish and Spanish. The stone monu-
ments are about eleven feet high, and
the iron monuments about six and a
half feet high. They are arranged so
that they are within sight of one
another from one end of the line to the
other
The country traversed consists main-
ly of deserts and mountains, and,1
many instances, the work was prose-
cuted with considerable difficulty. By
the terms of the treaty the destruction
or displacement of any of these monu-
ments is made a misdemeanor, pun.-
ishable according to the justice of the
country of the Offender’s nationality.
An extensive report of the Commis-
sion that did the‘work, covering 700
pagr s of printed matter,.and accompa-
nied by maps and photographic views,
was submitted to Secretary Olney yes-
terday by Colonel J. W. Barlow, Corps
of Engineers, U. S. A. The original
treaty between the two countries in re-
gard to this work was concluded July
29,1882. The line was formerly
marked by about fifty monuments,
and the re-marking became necessaly
in order to put an end to the constant
disputes and controversies over terri-
torial rights, resulting from their de-
struction or displacement. Wherever
possible the original monuments were
restored. Many of them had been dis-
placed and others completely de-
stroyed. ~
