From the Chicago yews. 1 have just finished reading an article en 'Curious Freaks of Curious People,”’ said a down-town real estate man as he laid aside a copy of an English magazine, “but jf (he writer would spend a few days in my business he could find material for an inter esting article on ’( unou.s Freaks of Com mon People.' Scarcely a day passes but some individual conies into my office who betrays eccentricity of character and actions. Very few people of sense move at (his season of the year unless necessity com pels them to do so. Asa consequent® the variety of house-hunting freaks is not as preat as in the spring, yet for extreme jeculiarities this time of the year affords the best opportunities to observe them.” • Excuse me, but there is a lady outside inquiring for you, sir,” interrupted the real estate man’s red-bristled clerk, as he in truded his nose and one eye into the private office. ■Who is it? Miss S?” questioned the portly manipulator of leases, with an anx ious expression. •Yes, sir.” "Wait about two minutes and tell her I am at leisure,” said the merchant, slowly, after a short pause. Then, turning to his first visitor, be remarked: If you would like the opportunity to get a few points on the subject of cranks here is a good chance. This' lady has the misfor tune to be afflicted with chronic dissatisfac tion. She has hired houses through me for ihe past ten years, and the longest she has ever occupied any one abode, I believe, is eight months. She is never suited and never will be. Just take a chair at that desk be hind the scroen and you can hear what she says.” A moment later a fashionably dressed lady of perhaps 40 years in feature and 18 in attire entered the room. “Good morning, colonel i” was her open ing remark, and without waiting for a re turn of the greeting she rattled on: “I am so glad to find you in; was dreadfully wor ried for fear you should be absent,” and she fitted herself snugly into the angles of a sedan chair. “I want another house, and I want it immediately. You know what I need. Colonel, so it is unnecessary for me to explain. The house you secured for me is overrun with roaches, the furnace is out of repair, it is too far from the horse cars, and in a dreadfully unfashionable neighborhood. 1 have nearly frozen for four weeks, now, and my month is up Tuesday. I must have another house by then. I have done noth ing but move, move, move for years, and I have not found a house worth living in yet. I am not at all particular, as you know, only I will not pay at all exorbitant rates or put up with anything other than all the latest modern conveniences or live in any but an elite neighborhood, and—oh, I for got ; this time be careful there are no dogs next door. My mastiff is under the doctors care through Mrs. Moncton’s little, insig nificant three-pound black-and-tan terrier having bitten him in the nose. That’s all, only remember I want the bouse by Tuesday. Good morping. Colonel.” And she arose from her chair with a snap, bobbed her head mechanically at the real estate man, and strode from the office with a grenadier gait ail out of keeping with her girlish costume. “Whew!” softly remarked the Colonel, after the door had closed on his caller. “How’s that for a breeze? That woman is rich and can easily afford to build one of the finest residences in the land, but she wouldn’t be satisfied with the White House. She is not muoh trouble, though, compared witn some of my queer customers. Only yesterday a young woman came in the office and said her mother wanted to hire a house. I asked her about what rent she wished to pay, in what locality she wanted the house, how many fooms she needed, and several very common questions usually asked, and the girl said she didn’t know anything about it. Perhaps I had better let her have the keys of all the houses I had to let and her mother oould take her pick. That is not an uncommon suggestion of in experienced house-hunters.” The Colonel paused for breath. “You would not think,” he continued, ‘ that there are a goodly number of people living in very fine houses in the most aristocratic locali ties, and they do not pay a cent’s worth of rent. I could point out "a dozen residences that I have tried from one month to one year to rent, and the owners require such a large price that it is next to impossible. Asa house is always in better condition to let and more attractive to the eye while occupied—for the occupants, unless un usually slovenly, are bound to keep it swept clean and passably tidy—l have found .t good policy to a ilow persons to occupy them until such time as they could % rented. Some of this class of people never think of paying rent. When the house in which they have lived acquires a tenant they boldly go the rounds of the real estate men, and ask for the chance to occupy a house in return for keeping it in order. These are professionals of one sort. Another class, well known in the business, are professional beats. They obtain keys to a house and keep them for several days, during which they live in the house. By the time they return the keys ' hov have obtained the keys to some other residence, where they practice the same f-eheme. They never rent unless positively forced to do so. They have an idea that they are cunning and that their practices not known, but they are most of them like old landmarks anil there is seldom a new face appeal's among them. They think they are beating us, yet in reality tb**y save us the trouble and cost of cleaning houses that are left in a disorderly condi tion, for they naturally select the most, at tractive apartments to clean for themselves, and therefore leave the house in a more pre sentable condition than when they flint en ter it. Whatever they sleep on in an emp ty house is introduced after dark, then they remove it from their last camping place. To some whom we are satisfied are honest " ,R give the keys of furnished houses, and v cry seldom has anything been appropriated by them. It is a queer way to live. I think I would rather live in a hovel, if it "as my own. Such a life is too near akin to that of a tramp.” Pope Leo’s Income. From (he Pall Mall Gazette. A foreign diplomatist accredited to Home gives the following account of the Pope's revenue and of the way in which it is spoilt, h is derived from three sources. 1. The interest of an enormi us sum left by Pio 'ono to the pontifical treasury and invested "t the English public funds. This interest ri mounts to about. 5,000,000 lire, or about f!25,000. Leo XIII. is a great speculator, ;i nd subscribes to the Italia i loans in order t" sell when the valu j rises and Invest the 1 rofits in the English consolidated fund. - The proceeds of Peter’s Pence. This 'ranch of the revenue has suffered greatly in recent years, but, neverthe Jess, the average amounts to about ‘ .<IOO,OOO lire, or about. £BB.OOO. These two ninis. which represent, £‘..’08,000 per annum, constitute the ordinary income of his holi- It is distributed by the Chamherlam '"'long the Cardinals residing in Home— nis-'Ut £1,050 per annum for each Cardinal among the prelates of the Papal Court, the Secretaries, the nuncios, the guards of 'he Pontiff’s body, etc. 3. The extraordi nary part of the Pupal revenue is derived '[•on] the receipts of the Apostolic Chancery. I lie items include the sums rewived from iitlcs of nobility, Papal decorations, bene dictions m the articles of death, privileges f| t the altar, private chapels, dispensations, ecclesiastical titles, and inuny other tilings, i hi-, department yields about 0,5000,000 Hi o, " r £1(H,000, per annum. Tho whole annual income of Leo XIII , therefore reaches the ‘‘normous sum of about £300,000. The Bngadme r 'liquet, Atkinson s now perfume.

He Passed Himself ff as a Cattle King and Married St. Joe Belle, j Sr. Louts, Oct. 18. A St. Joseph special I to the Globe- DemocHt tells the following j romantic story: A jtr aud a half ago a j handsome, well-dreed stranger, about 35 ! years of age, withthc appearance of a polished gentleman, id. to all appearances, (he pocket-boo): of ;millionaire, landed in the city, hailing fan Texas. He repre sented himself as ccattle king, and had maps upon which tupointed out the exact location and oxtenlof his ranches. The man gave his names Henry W. Meyers. He gave opera parts, wine suppers, etc., and was an hoiiored.ucst in the mansions of St. Joseph’s first unities. Meyers was in theity over six months, and while here expttded at least $2,500 in social pleasure. p met among other charming young klies one who was the belle of the circle i which she moved. He fell desperately inlove with her and she with him. Asa relit they were engaged, and in a month ma'ied. After living with his young wife twoveeks Meyers suddenly disappeared and its not been seen in the city since. He waxnourriod as dead, and it was supposed soie one had murdered him and robbed him fo the immense sums of money he was popiarly supposed to carry ou his person. Th wife was distracted, and the local press a the time contained de scriptions of the nut and the offers of large rewards for the drovery of his body. The relatives ofthe wife, after the first burst of excitemet was over, went to Texas in search of this inn’s property, thinking some clew could b discovered there. They did not succeed i this, but did learn that no such man hd ever owned a foot of ground or a sing) hoof in Texas. A little further investigyion revealed that Meyers was beyond quesion a scoundrel and adven turer. They lturned home with their news, but kept, ilsacredlv within the bosom of the injured faiily. 'the present week a number of St. kisoph people attended the Kansas City festvities, and when returning from the Priest of Pallas ball, Thursday night, two of thm thought they recognized the cab-driver. Suddenly it dawned upon them that be wg Meyers. The recognition seemed to be mitual, for Meyers hailed a passing cabmauexchanged places with him, and was seen no nore. Before going home, the St. Joseph gentiemeii went to the Landis Cab Conpany, where Meyers was employed, and tried to see him, but he had not been at the tarn siace the night before, and no one knew when he was. The announcement o! what had been seen in Kansas City created a wonderful excite ment when told here,and the poor wife, who has a child about two months old, Is well nigh heart-broken, It has been learned that Meyers had been in Texas in the ca pacity of bookkeeper for a prominent ranch man, and that is how le came to know so much about that State. It was also learned that he had a wife and three children in Texas, whom he deserted before coming to St. Joe. Meyers, it sen®, is heavily in debt in St. Joe, owing bills to the amount of over $1,500. COFFINS MADS OF PAPER. Some Ingenious Mathods By Which Paper is Being Utilized. From a Mew Y<rk Exchange. “Here is a very neat style of coffin,” re marked a manufacturer of such articles. “It is the latest thing out, and is really quite popular. ” The coffin did not seem to be different from the ordinary kind of casket. It was plain in style, and finished in rosewood, beautifully marked. The handles were of solid silver, and the inside was handsomely covered with cushioned trimming of white silk, neatly quilted. It was evidently a coffin that any modest man of simple taste could offer no objection to being buried in.” . “What do you think of it?” “It is a very neat sort of a coffin, but I don’t see anything remarkable about it.” “Lift one end of it.” The reporter arched his neck, grasped the handles firmly, and put his strength into a great lift. The casket rose as though it were made of painted air so light was it, and the experimenter narrowly escaped fall ing on his back. “It feels as though it were made of paper. How do you make them so light!” “It is made of paper,” answered the man ufacturer, “compressed paper. It is cheaper than wood, can be pressed into shape, is more durable, and can be made much more quickly and easily. The veneering is of another piece of paper, very thin, which is painted to resemble wood, by machinery. When the coffin is put together it is var nished ar.d trimmed and then it i$ ready for occupancy. “How did you happen to invent it?” “I didn’t invent it, but aimost anyone ought to have done so. Paper has been used for car wheels for years past. Doors are now made of the same substance. Two thick paper hoards, stamped and molded into panels and glazed together with glue and potash, and then rolled through heavy rollers, are coming into use. Thoy are better than wood, in that they will not shrink, swell, crack or warp. They are made water-proof with a mixture. “Boats are also made of paper,” con tinued the manufacturer; “and for certain kinds of racing they are better even than the ordinary kinds of wood, and far cheaper ” “You will soon make your whole coffin out of paper!” suggested the reporter. “We are not far away from that now,” replied the maker. “They are making window-glass from linen or cotton, modified by chemical action. When the glass is made it is dipped in a preparation of cam phor and alcohol, which gives it the char acter of parchment. It can then be molded and cut into transparent sheets that are re markably tough, and can stnnd double the strain of the ordinary glass. Yes, sir, it will not be long before not only coffins for the dead but the houses for the living can be made from the foundation to the roof en tirely out of paper. Who says we are not an inventive race?” A Freak of Nature. From the Rome Tribune. Hines M. Smith has brought to Rome and placed ou exhibition at different storehouses pieces of a pine stump that has been turned into iron ore. The stump was discovered by his hands digging ore. and part of it was broken off by blasting. Tne formation is an exceedingly curious and rare one. F. C. Hand, a well known civil engineer, who is an expert, in mineral matters, informed a reporter that it was properly a “substitution” of wood for iron ore. It cannot be called a petrification. 'The stump is perfect in arrangement of fibres and lrk ol the pine tree. Even resin streaks are recognizable. The ore is brown hematite of flne quality, but the change is the most wonderful part of the affair: wood most generally turning into a silicate or limestone. The stump was dug up at the ore beds in charge of H. M. Smith just below Cave Spring. _ _ _ “Rough on Bile” Pills.
