WAS WASHINGTON’S STAFF.
Interesting History of Cane Onoe
Owned by Father of His
Country.
One of the things that passed
through the Baltimore fire un
scathed was a cane once owned by
George Washington and now the
property of Maj. H. H. Raleigh.
The cane reposed daring the fire
in the vault of the Merchants'!
Credit and Collection Bureau at
Liberty and German streets, says
the New York Sun.
“In Gen. Washington’s will,’'
said Maj. Raleigh, “two canes are1
mentioned. One was bequeathed
to Robert Washington, of Chop
tank, Va., who gave it to Robert
Thompson, a relative.
“Later it passed to Miss Kittie
Thompson, a sister of Robert
Thompson, and finally Peter Gra*
soa Washington of New Yorl^
who was assistant secretary of the
treasury under Guthrie, was the
owner of the stick.
“Peter Grason Washington be
queathed the cane to the oldest
male heir of Gen. George Wash
ington who was living at the time
of his death. The late Mrs. Ra
leigh was a granddaughter of a
Mrs. McPherson, of Washington,
D. C., who before her marriage
was a Miss Washington. After
some contention it was proved
that Mrs. Raleigh’s brother,
whose family name was Edwards,
-was the person entitled to the pos
session of the cane. I purchased
th& relic for my wife, and when
she ^ed it became my property."
Although cfescribed as a cane,
the relid is really a staff. It is of
bamboo, about four and a half,
feet long and, Just such a stick as
Washington Height have used in
tramping over his broad acres in
Mount Vernon. The Washington
coat-of-arms adorns its gold head,
and it is encircled with a gold band,
upon which is inscribed:
“Willed to Robert Washington
and by him to descend to Peter
Grason .Washington, of New
York.”
As soon as the embers had
cooled, Maj. Raleigh hastened to
the vault and was much relieved
to find after the cane had been re
moved from the chamois skin case
that it had not been scorched.
SHARK AS A MESSENGER.1

portant Item of News.
The story of the discovery oi
human bones and bangles in the
interior of the crocodile captured
at Fort Johnson, Rhodesia,
brings to mind another story
which may appositely be recalled
at the present juncture. Every
body has heard of “Mrs. Macquar
tie’s chair,” as they call the east*
ern point of Farm Cove, in Sydney
harbor. There, says the St,
James’ Gazette, it was that a poor
emigrant, in pre-cable days, killed
and towed ashore a shark, cut him
op, and found a London newspa*
per in the internals. In the paper
was the announcement of the war
between France and Germany,
The shark had outdistanced the
steamer by which the mail was
coming, and here the discoverer
had the fact to himself. He gave
his information to a wealthy wool
dealer, who bought all the sea
son’s clip at 9d. per pound, and
sold at 3s. after the news of the
war had arrived by the ordinary
^channel. He cleared, it is said,
uour millions sterling by the deal
The man who killed the shark and
extracted the news of price—well,
he received a battered silk hat
and a five shilling piece and unre
strained liberty as to the disposal
of the shark.

HOW WILD BEASTS ATTACK
Nearly Every Species Has Its Own
Peculiar Method of Seising
Its Prey.
Those who obtain their knowl
edge of how wild animals pounce
upon their prey, be it a human
being or a fellow brute, from
the picture books will have to
revise their ideas if they are
made true to life. Most of the
conceptions are entirely wrong,
According to the statement of a
close student of such things.
“In seizing their prey tigers
and lions almost invariably go
for the throat," he says, “though
In one or two instances that have
come under my notice of animals
killed by tigers they have evi
dently first been hamstrung.
These, probably were the victims
of young and inexperienced ti
gers. I once saw a man charged
and knocked over by a panther
and he only saved his throat by
putting up his arm, which, as
well as his shoulder, the animal
grasped with teeth and claws.
“Anyone who knows anything
about elephants must be aware
that the trunk, and particularly
the tip of the trunk, is the most
delicate and sensitive part v#
the animal and that he shield*
it from injury by every possible
means in his power. It is, there
fore, very unlikely that he .would
expose it in the act of charging.
My experience, limited though it
be, points to the fact that an
elephant, once he has made up
his mind to charge, curls up his
trunk tieht.
“Bisons and buffaloes when
they charge invariably poke
their noses in the air and com
mence running at you with their
heads well up, much in the man
ner of domestic cattle, and only
lower their horns when within a
few yards of the object of their
attentions. This I take to be a
mere matter of common sense
on the part of the animal, for if
he puts his head down, say even
40 yards away, he could not pos
sibly see where he was going.
“Bears when wounded will
often get on their hind legs and
dance about from sheer rage and
will also at times do so in order
to get a better view of the where
abouts of their enemy, but when
they charge, whether it be at a
man mounted or on foot, they in
variably charge on all fours.
“In charging most animals
give vent to certain vocal sounds
—grunts or roars—and this, it
Is natural to suppose, is done
with a view to terrifying and de
moralizing the object they are
attacking—in fact, more often
than not it is a mere bluff on the
animal’s part. I have often seen
tigers roar when charging who
never really mean mischief and
who when met by a bold front
turned off.”
A BIT OF HENNERY LORE.
What Makes Brown Eggs Brown Re
vealed by a Woman Who Is
Onto Store Tricks.
“You have just started house
keeping, Maud,” said the visitor to
the bride of a few weeks, accord
ing to the New York Sun. “I have
been married a year now, and have
learned a great deal about dishon
est practices of shopkeepers..
“Tradesmen are up to all sorts
of tricks. The other day I went to
the dairy to get some eggs. Would
you believe it, the girl in charge
tried to make me believe that the
brown eggs were better than the
real white ones? She came from
a farm, too, which is a surprising
thing.” ».
“Why, I always thought the
brown eggs were the best,” said
the bride of a week. “I am sur
prised to learn that they are not.”
“No, indeed, they are not. Do
you know how they get brown?
Well, it’s from lying around the
•tore so long. They just get stale
and take on that brown look. Oh,
they can’t fool me! When I began
housekeeping, I did not know that
the storekeepers laid an egg down
on the counter and stamped it
Fresh laid.’ I know their tricks
now, though.”
The King’s Coach.
The young king of Spain’s state
eoach is drawn by eight pure
white horses with white plumes
and white harness, says Chums.
Plumes wave from each corner of
the coach, and there is a crown in
the center.
WHO GETS MOCHA COFFEE ?
Host of It Taken by Sheika and Gov
ernor! of Arabia—Little la
Ever Exported.
“I don’t believe there is a
pound of genuine Moeha coffee on
this continent,” Mr. C. T. Hilli
glas, a coffee merchant, informs
me, says a writer in the St. Louis
Globe Democrat, “or that 200 peo
ple in this country have ever tast
ed it, unless they have at some
time visited Arabia and drunk it
at the table of some sheik or gov
ernor.
“The true Mocha is the finest
coffee grown; it has a delicious fla
vor that makes it as superior to
the very best of other brands as
silk is superior to cotton, but the
crop is extremely limited, and
hardly ever more than satisfies
purely local demands. Some
Arabian coffee may find its way to
this country; it may even be called
Mocha, but it is not the real arti
cle, I am sure, and none of us has
ever had it here, though we get the
best of other brands that are
grown in Ceylon and Java, and
that means some mighty fine cof
fee. It is not Mocha, however, for
the whole of the true Mocha crop
each year wouldn’t supply the cof
fee demands of one ward in St.
Louis alone for a period of six
months. The best and plumpest
berries of the Mocha growth,
those with the most exquisite
flavor, are eagerly taken by
the governors and sheiks in the
vicinity, and they have to get their
orders in in advance, so that they
may be sure of their annual sup
ply. The second-grade berries go
• i • i i i • _ _?Af__A ~ M
IU tut? Wt?ai llllul uuihruo, uvi vi
the governing class, and the third,
or poorest, grade of berries, which
are not much superior to the best
Java coffee, are sold to the people,
and the demand invariably ex
ceeds the supply,
“Sometimes a few pounds of
this cheapest grade of Mocha finds
Its way to Constantinople, but it
is very, very seldom, and I don’t
believe an ounce of it has ever got
any further west than that. I pre
sume that if, by some hook or
crook, a pound of the real plump
berried Mocha were landed in this
country it would sell for a price
that even a- Rockefeller might hes
itate to pay. We get the best cof
fee grown, apart from the Mocha,
but the local conditions which pre
vail where that coffee is raised
prevent us from obtaining any,
and I hardly think the real thfng
will ever be found in our markets.”

Has Been a Pulpit Orator of Renown

of renown from the very outset
of his priestly career, the sought
after panegyrist of great occa
sions when bishop and patriarch,
no wonder that he was hailed by a
voice in Koine when he took pos
session of his title as cardinal1
“No one has spoken so well as this
cardinal!” As country assistant,
then parish priest, then professor
in the seminary of Treviso, canon,
chancellor of the diocese, great
hierarch of Mantua, the successor
of St. Mark, everyone seems to
know him, and no one has any
memory that is not pleasant.
Developed by Nature.
When the petals of the great
laurel magnolia are touched,
however lightly, the result is a
brown spot, which develops in a
few hours. The fact is taken ad
vantage of by the South Ameri
can lover, who pulls a magnolia
flower, and on one of its pure
white petals writes a motto or
message with a sharp-pointed pen
cil. Then he sends the flower, the
young lady puts it in a vase of wa
ter, and in three or four hours the
message written on the leaf be
comes perfectly visible, and re
mains so.
