There is a certain cat of clerical associations and impeccable social standing who swims like a fish, and, what is more, appears to enjoy it like any duckling. A pug dog in the fam­ ily seems to think the performance un­ natural. and whenever the cat goes down to take his bath the pug follows. Showing every sign of jealousy when visitors applaud and express surprise. The other day Master Pug could stand it no longer; he, too, took a plunge, and in a few moments, having reached fruss, seized the creature by the throat and held her head under water until life was nearly extinct. .

That Queen Victoria is not blind to the hold that other celebrities may have upon the feelings of her people was prominently illustrated in 1848, When Jenny Lintl was to sing at her majesty's theater. The Queen made her first public appearance after the memorable Christmas Day. For the great artiste, too. this was a first ap­ pearance. for it was the beginning of a season at a place where the year be­ fore she had won unparalleled fame. It happened that the Queen entered tli royal box at the same moment that the prima donna stepped upon the stage. Instantly a tumult of acclama­ tion burst from every corner of the the­ ater. Jenny Lind modestly retired to the back of the stage, waiting till the demonstration of loyalty to the sover­ eign should subside. The Queen, refusing to appropriate to herself that which she imagined to be intended for the artiste, made no acknowledgment. The cheering con­ tinued. increased, grew overwhelming, and still there was no acknowledgment from either the stage or the royal box. At length, when the situation be­ came embarrassing, Jenny Lind, with ready tact, ran forward to the foot-' lights and sang "God Save the Queen," which was caught up at the end of the solo by the orchestra, chorus and audi­ ence. The Queen then came to thefr6nt of her box and bowed, and the opera began. , ,ri, Thrown on ttie, Wall. * Ancient wall decorators laboriously applied their design by [little squares.

After live weary years in the Yukon valley, during which he found and work­ ed a quartz ledge of wonderful richness, as well as faced death by cold and starva­ tion a dozen times, Charles E. Baldwin of San Francisco has arrived in Van­ couver, B. C. He was dressed in rags, but was loaded down with gold. He said: "I went to hunt gold in Alaska live years ago and struck the richest mine in the world. It is a quartz ledge in the Xa­ nana Hills, 280 miles north of Fort Sel­ kirk. 4 I have gone in on the ledge 85 feet, and I know the ore will run $2,000 to the ton. With-a common hand mortar I have got out in four years $35,000. I brought out with me $17,000 in gold. If I wanted I could have pounded out two ounces a day. When Indians wanted pay for food I took a rock and hammered out th • gold. I found many nuggets also." P ddwin says that when he left the mine ti e Indians were dying by scores of starv­ ation. He will return to his treasure after a rest. LEE'S LIFE THREATENED. Warned in Two Days of Five Distinct Plots to Assassinate Him. Havana advices say that Consul Gen­ eral Lee was warned Sunday and Monday of five distinct plots against his life. It was reported to him that many of the rabid Weylerites are determined to kill him and that all sorts of plans have been evolved to accomplish that purpose. Gen. Lee professes to place but little credence in the many reports that reach him of threats against him, but it is no­ ticed that he is more closely guarded than ever by the Government. The latest story, to reach the consul was that he would be poisoned by a bribed employe of his hotel. To this Gen. Lee replied by asking the newspaper correspondents who sit near him at meal time, in case he is suddenly taken ill, first to shoot, his waiter and then to run for a stomach pump.

Residents of San Francisco and neigh­ boring cities were much excited over the earthquake which shook the city and vi­ cinity just before midnight Wednesday. The vibrations continued fifteen seconds after the shock was l'elt and many per­ sons were thrown into a panic. Buildings trembled on their foundations, telegraph and telephone , wires were broken and numberless panes of glass were broken during the short space of time the shock was felt. Several hours elapsed before the fears of the panic-stricken populace were quieted and the streets cleared. Se­ vere shocks were felt at Sacramento, ;S'pn Jose, Merced, Stockton and Santa Cruz. Marix Says It Was a Mine. « Lieutenant Commander Marix. judge advocate of the board of inquiry into the Maine disaster, on being'released from the in relation to the blowing the battleship, had this to say: "We know that the Maine was biown up by a mine as surely as a physician knows a man was poi­ soned when he finds him suffering from the effects of poison." In Jamesburg, N. J., somebody has ctol-r en a fouisstory brick house. Is the rest of that State stafeiy nailed down? The Terrier's Mistake. An incident that pointed a strong moral took place on Chestnut street on Saturday afternoon. The street was thronged with promenaders, and the magnificent St. BUfftard dog which a young .woman was leading attracted mUch attention., Near 13th street the woman entered a store, leaving the dog outside. The dog was such a mag­ nificent beast that several people stop­ ped in admiration, and the dog actually seemed to smile at the attention he was receiving. About this time two giddy youths, who were followed by a mis­ chievous fox terrier, came along and paused to see what was attracting the throng. The terrier, which was but a mite beside the St. BernaJtl, rushed in and begau snarling at the big dog. The uoble-lookiug beast paid not the slight­ est attentnon, and Che youths audibly commented on the big one's cowardice. When the terrier began snapping at his feet, however, the big one gravely raised one,paw and pushed his tor­ mentor away. This angered tlie.terrier, aind its anger was fed by the youths, who told "Jip," as t hey called him, to go in and "shake the big coward." ".Tip" Vv-ent in and set his teeth in the St. Ber­ nard's leg. Suddenly the big dog lost its forbearance, and in a trice Jip was In its massive jatys. There was a crunching sound, a couple of shakes aud "Jip" was cast aside dead. The St. Bernard then resumed his place uncon­ cernedly, and the young men gathered up their dead terrier and went off to make complaint at the city hall.--Phila­ delphia Record.

Spring Medicine A Good Blood Purifier a Ne­ cessity Now Hood's Sarsaparilla Unequaled for Making Rich, Red Blood. The necessity for taking a good Spring Medicine to purify the blood and build up the system is based upou natural and un­ avoidable causes. In cold weather there has been less perspiratiou and impurities have not passed out of the system as they should. Food has consisted largely of rich, fatty substances, and there has been less opportunity for outdoor exercise. The result is, the blood is loaded with impuri­ ties and these must be promptly expelled or health will be endangered. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best Spring Medicine because it is the best blood purifier and tonic. It thoroughly purifies the blood and gives vigor and vitality.

It is occu­ pied by its ministeri to China and his staff, which consists of eighteen or twenty persons, including three or four "commercial attaches," as they are called, whose business is to study the commercial possibilities of the empire aud make reports to the foreign office in London for the benefit of the British manufacturers and mercliauts. There are also several "student interpreters," young men who are, placed there for the purpose of acquiring the Chinese language and a knowledge of the cus­ toms of the country prior to their ap­ pointment in the consular service. The British, government will not appoint any one to its consular service iu any country unless he understands the language of that country, which con­ dition does not hpply to tile consular service of the United States. In addi­ tion to the legation in the city of Pekiu, the British parliament has recently ap­ propriated $85,000 for the erection of a summer residence for the use /of its minister and his officials in the hills fifteen or twenty miles away. TWenty- six thousand dollars was also appro­ priated for the erection of a consulate at Chung-King. Wherever tfye British establish an embassy or legation or a consulate they always provide a suit­ able building, as in Washington. But the United States Government owns only one such building iu all the world, and that is at Tokyo, Japan, where the land was given by the Japanese gov­ ernment, and the original residence was erected by Mr. Seward when he' was our minister there.
