J “There is a distinct upper class of . book agents who m ver come in contact , with the general public,” remarked > Mr. Charles fl. Meyers. “I have been interested in art publications for a number < f years and know most of the tiptop salesmen in the country. They’ handle books that range from SSO to SSOO in price and only call on people who figure on certain select lists. These lists are the result of the cullings of years, and, combined, they represent nearly all of the high class book buyers of the United States. Each publishing house has its own collection of names, and they are valued highly. “I call to mi ml one firm that failed and went out of business several years ago and its roster of buyers was consid er 1 its very be.-t asset. It was pur oased for something like $5,000. The class of books handled by the agents to whom I refer would greatly astonish the everyday patron of the shops. They are printed in very limited editions, and every refinement of mechanical art is lavished on their preparation. Some times the edition numbers only 25 or 30, and as soon as it is oft the press the type is taken down and distributed. The illustrations are frequently water color paintings or artists’ proofs of etchings, ami it is quite common for the vignette letters to be tinted by hand. “Such books are never advertised, but are easily disposed of to the inner circle of rich connoisseurs. The agents who take the orders are the princes of the business. I know on ? who makes easily *IO,OOO a year, and they are nearly all well to de. They are continu ally on the go, but if you were to en counter one of them at a hotel the chances are you would never guess his vocation. What are the topics of the books they sell? Oh! They range frem Shakespeare’s comedies to Walton’s complete angler—a little of every thing.’’—New Orleans Times-Demo crat. CLEVER MILITARY TRICK. The Strntnirein by Which Sir Francis ' ere Defeated the Spanish. When Philip II debated the question of coercing with fire and sword the Dutchman, who did not like the taxes which they themselves did not vote, the Duke of Alva counseled violent meas ures, for in his eyes the rebels were only “men of butter.” Nevertheless he found that these men, so fond of cows and hens, could hold his veterans at bay, finally overcome them in the field, and after 80 years leave poor Spain “a broken backed tiger.” Indeed in time of war country folk with baskets of eggs and butter excited no suspicion even to alert sentinels. Taking advantage of this fact, Sir Francis Vere determined to recapture from the Spaniards the Zutphen sconces, or forts, by a stratagem. In 1591 he picked out some lusty and handsome young soldiers and dressed most of them like the Gelderland egg women and the rest as Boers. With bundles of vegeta bles, baskets of eggs and butter, but also with daggers and pistols inside their clothes, they were ferried across the river by twos and threes. They sat near the gate of the fort being already, at the break of day, chatting and ges ticulating, as if in some tremendous argument about the rise or fall of mar ket prices. Then, according to arrangement, Vere sent some cavalry forward, as if ap proaching, and the pretended country people ran in feigned terror toward the fort. The gates were at once thrown open to receive them. They all streamed in, threw off their disguises, and in a few minutes were in possession of the forts of the town, where the gallant Sir Philip fc.dney afterward lost his life by being more rash and less shrewd than the veteran Vere.— Harper's Bazar. A Mark Twain Story. Apropos of the Portuguese reis (pro nounced rays), when Mark Twain vis ited Fayal some years ago one of his companions invited him to dine, with eight others, at the principal hotel in j that happy island. As soon as the cloth I was removed and the wino placed on ! the table the host called for the bill, which amounted to 21,700 reis. “Go, leave me to my misery, boys!” ejaculated the unhappy man. “There isn't money enough in the ship to pay that bill. I am a ruined community. Landlord, this- is a mean swindle. Here’s $l5O, and it’s all you’ll get. I'll swim in blood before I II pay a cent more. ” The landlord looked surprised, but immediately had his little account translated “into a language that a Christian could understand,” when it 1 was found that, at the rate of 1,000 reis to a dollar, the demand actually amounted to $21.70. More refreshments were ordered forthwith.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. A Penalty of Knowledge. “It seems to me,” remarked the high browed theorist, “that people positively resent education. A man who is more than ordinarily wise is usually left to himself as much as possible." “Perhaps you are right," answered Miss Cayenne. “When a man knows such a very great deal, he makes one apprehensive.

It was this way ; Citizen Train, “with the brains of 20 men in his head, all pulling difb -.ut ways,” went to Omaha in th ■ spring us lrt«4. At that time h<- win- the ua.st talked of man in America. He had nt a thing but mon ey, He bought 5.0'10 city lots, and alto gether spent s- v. ral hundred thousand dollars. He boarded at the Herndon House, the best hotel in sight. The quixotic Train was regular in only one thing his habits. He always occupied ing a pan- of gins. was broken out of a window directly behind his chair. He protested and was advised to change his seat. He would m t Instead he paid a servant 10 cents a minute to stand between him and the draft. After breakfast he expostulated with the landlord, but received no satisfaction. “Never mind,” said Train “In 60 days I will build a hotel that will ruin your business, ” And he did. The contract was let that day. Scores of men were put to work. The site selected was Ninth and Harney streets, near the Missouri river. Citizen Train went to New York and engaged Colonel Cozzens, a noted caterer of that city, as manager for his hotel. The building alone cost $40,000. The furnishings cost $20,000 more. In the basement was a gas plant—the only one west of St. Louis. The work was done on time, ami. true to his word, 60 days after he threatened the manager of the Herndon House George Francis • hotel, which he called the Cozzens House. The grand opening ball was at tended by the governor of Nebraska and his staff, the mayor of Omaha and many notables from other states. The house was a Blaze of glory and a scene of almost oriental magnificence. Just when the big reception was well on there was a sudden flash, a strange noise, and then —total darkness! The gas plant had collapsed. The Cozzens House did a flourishing business for a year or two and the Hern don House was badly crippled. Finally Train fell out with his manager and the place was closed. After the business part of Omaha moved back from the river the Herndon House declined and finally relapsed into a state of innocuous desuetude. A few years later it became the property of tHe Union Pacific railroad and is still used as the headquarters of that com pany in Omaha. Dr. H. H. Hibbard, a St. Louis den tist, was the first clerk of the Cozzens House. A JACK OF ALL TRADES. The Versatility of a Frenchman of the I*2 Ik li tee ath Century. In times long gone by active men combined many vocations. The barber in those days was also the dentist ami often performed other duties. A sign discovered in southern France recently shows how versatile it was possible for a man to become. The sign dates back to the last century and reads Isaac Macairie, barber, wigmaker, healer, sacristan, schoolteacher, blacksmith and ob stetrician; shaving, 1 sou; hair cutting, 2 sous; powdering and pomading very cheap for pretty, well bred young women; lamps lighted by the year or quarter; teaches the mother tongue in the best methods; instructs in sing ing and slun-s hors-s with a master hand; makesand repairs boots and shoes; teaches the young to play the oboe and jewsharp; cuts out corns and applies blisters, plasters or cups at lowest prices; supplies purging medicine at 1 sou; visits houses to teach the cotillon and other dances; sells sachet powders of all kinds at wholesale and retail; also all kinds of sta tionery, shoe polish, salted herrings, spioed bread, bristle brushes, mousetraps of wire and other material, heart strengthening roots, ■potatoes, sausages and other kinds of vegeta bles. . One would naturally think that all those talents and occupations would be enough for one man. But not so in the case of M. Macaire. A postscript on the sign reads; 1 teach geography and foreign commerce ev ery Wednewlny and Friday. With God’s help, I am Isaac M.vaiih: Ffleet and Cnnse. The rattling of the musketry in 1 creased. The pirate chief leaped to the mizzen halyards. He waved his broken sword. “Scuttle the ship!’’ he shrieked. There was a moment’s agonized si- | lence.

One of the I n 11 ullo n» of Orlen ns. There is a place in New Orleans that strangers ar< always glad to have point ed out Bi-geny s, over in the French quarter, kept by Mme Begeuy (pro nounced Bigaay, with the accent on the last syllable), and famous for the break fasts it serves at 11 o’clock every morn •; ing Originally this breakfast was intend ed for the butchers, and they* contribut ed to it the daintiest meats that the splendid French market in New Orleans provided from day to day. Gradually outsiders began to come in, and now one must engage a seat at breakfast two days ahead. The morning the writer was there a distinguish -d judge of the supreme court w . s the ; rincipal visitor, and he, with h: family, and several guests from Bost ui, sat at the head of the table. One long table occupies the little dining room, to which one climbs by a rickety flight of stairs. Every’ French man, when ho is up. takes a cup of coffee and a roil, nr I . t 11 o’clock eats iris real breakfast. 1 his is the meal that Mme. Begeuy serves, and it costs sl. The kitchen is right off of the dining room, and there is no pretense of adorn ment. Everything is as plain and sim pie as it can be, excepting the food, ami this is the perfection of the gastronomic art. A bottle of claret stood at each place, which, with water imported from Germany and called “blue label. ” was all there was to drink until the lit tie cup of black coffee finished the re past. The first thing served was duck. It was excellent, and so was everything else included in the eight or nine courses that came on, and that con eluded, singularly enough, with liver, so cooked that the only regret was that the piece was not larger. It takes twn hours to eat a breakfast at Begeuy’a, and you get enough to last yon for all day. —Leslie’s Weekly. A GRIM CEREMONY. An Fniperor’w Dentil Ilnntenecl by Hchea rwi n« Mlw Own Funeral. Emperor Charles V of Spain brought about his death by rehearsing his own funeral. For the last two rears of his life, after resigning the scepter of Spain and the Netherlands to his son Philip, in 1556, Charles retired to the monas tery of Yuste, in Estremadura, and there lived a cloister life in close inter course with the monks, devoting much time to religious exercises. During this period, prompted it may’ be by the ex ample of Cardinal de la Marek, who for several years before his death, in 1528, had annually rehearsed his own obsequies, the emperor, in the summer of 1558, formed the resolution to cele brate his own funeral before he died. Accordingly, on Aug. 30 of that year, the grim farce was carried out with the most elaborate ceremonial. The imperial domestics marched with black tapers in their hands, and the emperor, clad in sable weeds, himself followed, wearing his shroud. While the solemn mass for the dead was sung before the high altar in the cathedral Charles gave up his ta per to the priest, typifying thereby his resignation of life, and was solemnly laid in his coffin. The ceremony closed with sprinkling holy water on his body; then, all the attendants retiring, the doors were shut, and Charles rose from his narrow lied and withdrew to his pi: vate apartment. The damping of the graveclothes in duced a chill, which, aided no doubt by the mental depression caused by the grewsome ceremony, induced a fever which ended in his death three weeks later, on the 21st of September, 1588. 4 UiKKliiK Link. It will doubtless surprise many who have never even heard of the brute that there still exists on the island of Java an animal, or rather a reptile, which seems to be the missing link between the ichthyo-auri .if prehistoric days and tin- well known saurians of modern times. This animal is known to the Javanese as “linguin.” It fell to the luck of Baron Alfonso Pereira, consul general of Austria Hungary, to shoot one of these beasts some years ago. Its length was between nine and ten feet, and it looked a cross between a snake and a crocodile. Though the beast was cut and wounded in its encounter with Baron Pereira it did not bleed. Pennsylvania Sand Mines. There are all kinds of mines in Penn sylvania. The greatest are of course the iron and coal mines, but few people would guess that the next extensive mining industry is the sand mines in western Pennsylvania. These mint s are rarely underground, however, and many of them are viewed with wonder by passengers on the Pennsylvania, ap proaching Pittsburg.
