“Are owls ever caught to be sold as

“Yes. Occasin frilly. The best way to
catch them is toz‘ surprise them in a

run the pole cautiously down the in.

Baron Non Schoeler. of Corpus

mcnse snake of the anaconda spocim.
The baron‘s influence upon his horrid
prisoner has been such as to reduce it
to a fawning docility. At the merest
sound of the baron‘s voice the reptile
immediately manifests a sense of per-
fect delight by describing such a vari-
ety of evolutions as to amaze one. It
will actually assume a perpendicular
position. resting upon its head. and in
a twinkle assume the reverse by resting
upon its tail. and all this and much
more while the baron . stands

The Paris Figaro ives some interest-
ing details respecting a Frenchman
named Soulic. who is believed to be the
Malidi's right-hand man. and to have
taken a leading share in the defeat of
the Egyptian forces under Hicks Pasha.
Soulio is described as having haunted
the cafes and beer shops of the Quarticr
Latin some seven years ago. He was
then a young fellow of about 24 years.
very dark and wiry. loud in talk. and
exuberant in gcsticulation. He was
born in Algiers. where his family still
resides. In Paris he attended the lee-
tures of the School of Mining Engineer-
ing. and studied law: but quiet life did
not suit him. and he returned to A];
gicrs. where he wrote letters to friends
in Paris. breathing a violent hatred to
England and the English. whom be con—
ceivcd to have used Germany as an in-
strument to crush France. One line
morning he disappeared. and hi
friends were at a loss to know what h
become of him. when they suddenly
heard that he had joined Arabi. to
gratify his passion by lighting the Eng-
lish. After the collapse of Arabi he
migrated to Kairwau. and subsequently
joined the False Prophet. in whose op-
erations he is believed to have taken a
leading part. The story may be pure
romance. but there isthis foundation
for it; there are many adventurers with
the False Prophet. and that among
them there is a Frenchman named
Soulic seems true beyond a doubt.

Before the Halo & Norcross
came on this is tradition
there arrived in town a dilapidated
mincr who had worked in the mine.
lie was pretty badly down apparently.
but he went into a broker's office. and.
after being told to get out as a trump.
he said he thought a good deal of Halo
& Norcross. and wanted to invest a
trifling sum in it. ‘Two feet. at $l75.
were bought for him. and he gave the
certificate to the broker. saying that he
was going down to Mexico prospecting.
and he would like to leave it behind to
be dealt with as the broker saw fit. He
was not heard of for months Hale 8:
Norcross was up to $12,000 a foot. One
morning the broker found the dilapi-
dated miucr on his doorstep when he
came down to business. The minerrose
and said:
“Well, I‘m here. I thought I‘d come
and see you. I s‘pose there ain‘t noth~
left 0‘ that Hale & Norcross. I guess
you must a sold it out. but I am down
an’ I ain‘t got a cent. Maybe you‘d
lend me four hits to get a bit of break-

“The broker looked at him and gave

“Sit down and wait a minute. I'll
make up your account presently.“ He
left the dilapidated maven the edge of
a chair. He came back with a cieck
and sent his clerk down to the bank.

with a miserable indifl‘orenou. The
gold was all stacked upon the counter.
“Look here. I've sold your two feet
of Halo 8.: Norcross for $25,000 and
here's your money.”

like a baby. He could not read or

was. He sent a draft of 31.000 to his

“\Vhat is the condition of the quick-
silver mines of California 1’"
“Although rich. the: are virtually
shut up. because the gereral quicksil-
ver agency for the. world is the liotlis-
childs. and they are now producing it
in Spain and selling it at. less than it can
be mined in California. They sell it.
for instance. at 20 ccufs a pound. and
it costs perhaps 22 cents at the New
Almadcii or the New ldria mine; there—
fore those mines are only worked sulli‘
i'ientlv to prevent them being jumped,
as the government laws require any
mines to be worked a certain portion of
the year or they will be considered
abandoned. "

ways out at bed-time. This seems
licrctical. but it is not. Food of simple
kind will induce sleep. Animals after

Why? Because blood is solicited to-

dormant.
Sleep therefore ensues.
This is physiological. The sink-
ing sensation in sleeplessness is
a call for food. “’akcfnlness often
is merely a symptom of hunger. The
writer was called at 2 a. m. to see a
lady who assured him she was dying.

surprised by a return of life. and desire

The feeble will be stronger at dawn

'l'he \‘er-onters‘ Family Doctor.
V Lllr Koriiia‘i Bridges“ Addnx‘x’
The family doctor was a great puzzle
10 mo. \\‘licii “ti were sorely sick we
longed for his coming. wondered what
detained liiiii.und why he did not come
fasicr; when he came ho was so kind
and tender to us. and gave no such de—
testable doses. and so few of thoin.
and made us so comfortable and liope~
full
The puzzle was how this blesscd man
could be so wicked as over to Illl\ u
joinedmas he doubtless did»- with other
students of (‘astlotoii and Hanover in
those blood-curdliiig scrapes and expo-
ditions for raising material for study.
The doctors had a powerful ally in
the Vermont housewife. The people
had many habits conducive to health
and helpful in sickness. Our mothcrs-
did a grca‘t great many things to aid
and assist in a hygienic. way. These
mothers were. to their everlasting
credit. consecrated to the religion of
t‘lt‘llllllllt‘r‘s. They believed in soup. and
used it; it was soft soap. and of their
own manufacture: it was a most scarclo
iiig artic i . id they never used it
metaphorically. The Vermont house-
wife of spirit was degraded by untidi-
ness and hated it as she did bad morals.
Everything was swept and washed and
made wholesome and sweet.
The doctor never left a house without
prescribing medicine; to do so would
have disgraced him in the family. The
idea of the doctor was associated with
that. of medicinetaking—thcy went to-
gether. Sanitary science and hygiene
had hardly been heard of, and it re.
quired years for the people to learn that
thcir doctors might be of service to
them by showing them how better to
eat and drink and live. and avoid
being sick. So it happened that.
nowithstandiug their uolilc vii--
tau; and rugged habits. some
of their practices were the most unhy-
glcnic imaginable. They would not
ventilate their bedrooms; they all ate
pie and hot biscuit and new bread, and
so dyspepsia was a common experience.
Great numbers had it. And let me
here testify to the long suffering and
stoicism of these people. I remember
away back in the years, a hundred hag~
gard victims of dyspepsia, and they
never murmured: they appeared to re
gard it as a matter of course. and were
resigned to their fate—but not one of
them would ever resign his pic.
Danger-a at Remorse.

Petroleum. from which kerosene is

mately~rclated compounds of widely
differing volatility. Some are gaseous,

others form the ‘d ‘ e.
The middle portions of the crude

less volatile compounds by distil~

known as naphtha and benxine, is of the
