The international code of signals at sea, adopted by the Internation¬ al Maritime Conference of 1889, will probably be promulgated this summer. The long delay in the matter is occasioned by the fact that it is necessary for the rules to be officially accepted and promul¬ gated by the several governments, and the further fact that Great Britain made certain suggestions with regard to the modification of the proposed fog signals, which s uggestions have now been aeeept ed. Tlie house committee on mer chant marine made a favorable re¬ port with regard to the matter, which is almost equivalent to their acceptance by congress, The com mittee’s report will govern. The rules have already Well, one these cyclones, and blessed if it didn’t blow that whole house over into my pasture, Yes, sir, and dropped the roof down on thefoun dations just as neat as you could have laid it. Looked as if the house had just sunk out of sight. But then, I didn’t have a mortgage on the roof, so I didn’t care about that.’ “Reminds me of a story of a of mine out in Ioway, > > brother said the man on the step, “He had a fine setter dog—best hunter in the state. My brother couldn t shoot, so he wanted 10 sell him. But he couldn’t, cause the dog had a twist in his tail like a pig.

A well known crook, after hav¬ ing been chased from pillar to post by the detectives, was finally cap¬ tured in one of the saloons by tw o of the city force, who are close to the top of the ladder in the police department. The fellow made no resistance, and promised togoalong peaceably. The officers had no sooner started for the station house with their prisoner, whom they neglected to handcuff, than he made a break for liberty and got away. The officers made every ef¬ fort to capture him, and every offi¬ cer on the force was told to look¬ out for him. The crook made his way to the lower part of Alleghany, and going to a telephone called up the news paper office, and asked the writer to come to a certain a good story. The writer went to the place he indicated and the man told his story. It was merely his version of the trouble he got into and an account of the clever manner in which he had escaped from the two officers of the police force. He wanted the officers “roasted” for allowing him to get away so easi¬ ly, and had run the risk of being captured, solely for the purpose of venting his spite upon the natural enemy of all criminals, He knew that he would have time to get away alter the interview. The fellow was afterward cap- been published. The amended fog signals are three in number, and are as follows : A vessel under way shall sound a prolonged blast at intervals of not more than two minutes; a vessel under command, but stopped, shall sound two pro longed blasts, with an interval of one second, at least every two min utes; a prolonged blast followed by two short ones at intervals of two minutes shall be used as an answering signal by a towing ves sel, or one engaged in laying or picking up a cable, or a disabled vessel, or a vessel not under eon trol. The fog signals appear to be simple enough to be understood b> even a landsman after having heard them read one time.

A young commercial traveler while about the city, a tew even ings ago, visited a number of sa loons where the nickle-in-the-slot devices are kept, and, after sue cessfully playing several of the machines, wended his way home with his pockets well filled with chips. The next morning, on arising from his couch, he was somewhat to find that the majority his chips were missing, He positively they could not have been lost, and it never occurred him that his better half might have purloined them. He said nothing, however. went to his place of bus iness, and thought nothing more of the matter. That evening, when he arrived home, he was astonish ed to be greeted tearfully by his wife with : “You’re a mean, horrid thing!’’ I “Why, pet, what has gone wrong ?’’ “I never thought you would do : anything so low and mean. y y “My dear child,’’ anxiously re- | plied the husband, who really was devoted to his tntrgm | “What has taught you a les : “Did you not miss something I from your pockets this morning “No, I don’t think—why, yes, I missed some little chips.
