The Cigar Mouthpiece.

A rich Russian banker had been dis-
covered murdered in his house in St.
Petersburg, says a. writer in ' The
Green Bag. There was no clue, but in
the room there was found a cigar
mouthpiece containing part of a cigar
of such an expensive kind that it was
supposed the banker himsle had been
smoking it just before the crime had
been committed. On close examina-'
tion the mouthpiece was found to be'
worn away by the teeth of its owner,-
but the dead man's teeth did not fit
the indentation. The servants were
one by one examined, and it was then
found that the hollows of the mouth-
piece compared exactly to the forma-
tion of the front teeth of the cook, to
whom no suspicion had been attached.
He afterward confessed to the mur-
der.

 

 

A Tiger With in Glass Eye.

This isn’t a stuffed tiger, but a real
live one, ferociousand strong. He is
at present in the menagerie at Stutt-
gart, and looks as fierce with his glass
eye as with the real one.

A serious afiection of the muscles
caused the beast to lose the sight of
one eye. As the public didn’t appre-
ciate a one-eyed tiger, the beast was
put under cocaine and the useless op-
tic removed. This was a ticklish ope‘
ration, several strong keepers holding
the beast down while the eye was ta-
ken out. ‘

He was measured for a new eye,
which had to be made with a special
degree of ferocity. For the first week
he tried hard to rub it out; but he now
rests contented as the only wild ani-
mal with a glass eye—New York Tri-

SHARKS AND ROUSTABOUTS.

How They Feast on the Poor Negroes Who
Happen to Fall 0v erboai 11.

“Talking about sharks,” said a New
Orleans man, “you don’t know whaI
‘sharks are until you go down tovthe
mouth of the Rio Grande river. 1
have made the trip from New Orleans
by steamer frequently, and I have
never landed at Matamoras that I have
not seen some poor negro roustaboui
fall a victim to the greedy sharks that
are as thick in the gulf at that poinI
as fleas in a barn in August. It is a
curious and a cruel fact that a steamer
seldom touches at M-atamoras that one
or more of the negro deckhands do not
“fall” overboard, and that is the last
seen of them. I rather suspect that
this is the method resorted to by the
captain of the boat to preserve disci-
pline among the negroes. The crew
sees to it that a refractory member
"falls" overboard, and this has a sal-
utary effect on the rest. So accustomed
have the sharks in the waters of that
vicinity become to their weekly feast
of negro meat that they follow ingoing
steamers for miles out from Matamo—
ras. I have seen hundreds of them
hanging on the flanks of steamers
headed for the mouth of the Rio
Grande, and they have followed us
sometimes for fifty miles, apparently
fully aware that they would get a good
square meal as soon as we cast anéhor.
They cling close to the sides of the
boat when a landing is made, and woe
betide the unlucky sinner who falls
overboard. All that is seen of him is
a little red splotch on the water where
he struck. The sharks lie 'on their

backs awaiting their prey. 'You know

that they must place themselve in this
position before they can do damage to
anything that comes their way. A

' shark in a natural position is as harm-

less a fish as swims the seas. But
when he flops over on his back and
comes at you there isn’t one chance in
a thousand to escape his sharp teeth
and iron jaws.”——St. Louis Republic.

A HAPfi-Y‘ ARRANGE WENT.

A Divorced Couple Again Live Together
as Employer and Employe.

After a San Diego man got a divorce
from his wife the other day, he went
home and found her there. She asked
him to sit down to dinner, after which
she asked him how he liked the new
arrangement. “Firstrate,” he replied,
“but I can't understand it.” “Oh,
that’s all right," said she; “we can live
this way in contentment. The other
way we quarrel. Now, then, suppose
Twen-
ty dollars per month and board is all I
ask.” This struck the ex-husband fa-
vorably, and the bargain was closed on
the spot. The couple have not had a
sign of trouble since, although they
were in hot water for thirty-two years,
fretting under the marital yoke. They
dare not quarrel much now, for fear
one will leave the other in the lurch.
He must have his meals cooked, and
She must have a place to stay, To-
gether they are happy now, and the
bargainpromises to last to the end.—

THEIWATER BEAR.

A Little Animal that Microscopic Inspec-
" (tion Discovers in Water.

One of the COmmon curiosities re-
vealed by the microscope. in water is
a little animal that looks like a bear.

An extraordinary thing about this
tiny creature is that he is found in the
gutters of houses, where he is at one
time dry as dust and scorched by the
blazing sun, at another active and full

.‘of life under a refreshing shower of

rain.

The Water bear has the scientific
name of tardigrada, because he takes
life so easily. He is always fat and
plump, andspends his waking periods
in constantly grubbing with his four
pairs of legs among whatever rubbish
Comes in his way. Having eyes, brain
and a nervous system, he is much
ahead of most of his tribe, and he is
altogether one of the most interesting
and amusing little animals known to
science.

 

An Unexpected Verdict.

A very famous lawyer explained his
almost uniform success by saying that
he never flew over the heads of the
jury which meant that he never in-

'dulged In language beyond their com-

prehension. A young lawyer who had
not learned this rule, not long ago,
paid dearly for his ignorance.

"You see, gentlemen,” said the coun-
sel for the defendant, complacently—
it was a compensation case—“I have
got the plaintiff in a very nice dilem-
ma. if he went there, seeing that the
place was dangerous, there was con-
tributory negligence, and, as his honor
will Iell you, he can’t recover. If he
did not see it was dangerous neither
could Iny clienI ha re seen it, and there
was 11.0 negligence on his part. In
either case, i am entitled to the yer-
diet.”

The jury retired. .

“Well. gentlemen,” said the. foreman.

THE NIGHTINGALE.

The Bird is Not Shy, and Its Song is Not
Chiefly Reserved for the Night.

The nightinggale does not sing every-
where, yet it is as great a mistake to
consider the bird shy as to imagine its
song is chiefly reserved for the night.
He will sing continually from one of
the oaks bordering the wayside while
the village folks pass and repass. The
village couples may restupon the foot-
stile or linger to listen beneath the
very tree on which the bird is stationed.
Still the full burden of melody goes on
unchecked, without pause or intermis-
sion. And what a glorious outburst. it
is! What a perfect cascade of trills
and shakes and semi-quavers. Sud-
denly it is pierced by a single note that
shivers in the ear with the sharpness
of a fife. Immediately after comes the
wondrous water bubble, to be followed
by a delicious warble, long drawn out
and soft as could be breathed from the
richest flute. Another prolonged trill,
and then a far-off sound that' almost
seems to come from another songster
half a mile away, serves to throw into
relief the passionate tremulo issuing
from the same tiny throat; and all the
time the wings are quivering with ex-
citement, and—the whole coppice seems
to vibrate. The song is, indeed, a
whole orchestra of bird music. ' Ex:
pressive if every shade of ecstacy, we
are at times startled by a succession of
deep, plaintive tones that thrill like
No wonder the nightingale’s
singing season is brief—six weeks only
of the entire year. Nay, it is doubtful
whether any: individual bird sings for
so long a period. The redwing, anoth-
er fine singer, is a similar instance of
the limited period of song. Its voice in
this country is confined to two. notes,
and these by no means musical. Yet
the redwing is the nightingale of Nor-
way, to which land he returns for
breeding purposes each succeeding
April. So with our nightingale'From

LIKE THE SIAM ESE TWINS.

Two Little Girls That are Bound by 3 Sim-
ilar Tie.

A new pair of twins rivalling the Si-
amese twins which Barnum made fa-
mous a generation ago, has been dis-
covered. They are known as the Oris-
sa twins, and are joined to each other‘
in a manner resembling the ties unit—
ing Chang and Eng.

As objects of popular interest they
are infinitely more attractive than the
Siamese twins ever were. Chang and
Eng were males, ugly enough to stop
clocks, rather sullen in temp-er, and
generally looking an unspoken kick
against the created order of things.
But these charming little girls seem to
find existence all a summer day, full
of delight. They were born in the
most poverty-stricken, downtrodden
and hopelessly miserable class of In-
dia—the pariahs. Orthodox Brahmins
affect to prove out of the Vedas that
neither women nor pariahs have souls,

'and that it is unlawful for this wretch-'

ed caste—whose touch is contamina-
tion—to even listen to the reading of
the sacred law.

They were born on September 19,
1889, in the hamlet of No-ah-parra, in
the province of Orissa, British India.
Their father was an ignorant man,
who knew nothing of the market value
of the freaks, and so superstitious that
he saw a manifestation of the evil one
in everything out of the common run
of his experiences, in which he was by
no means unique, some very good peo-
ple, even in more . enlightened lands,
being of that way of thinking. He he-
gan cutting the infants apart, as a scar
upon their ligament still evidences, but

was stayed by his neighbors, and the.

little ones became a source of revenue

ple of Jagernath, at Poree. who made .

an exhibition of'them.—Chicago Times

A LIVING KITE.

Experiment to Determine the Effect of
Wind Upon a Soaring Machine.

in which a man formed a part. It was ‘

in the course of a series of experi-
ments to determine the effect .of wind
upon a soaring machine. A gigantic
kite had been made, on the face of
Which a man stood, his feet wide apart,
and resting upon braces for the pur-
pose, while with his hands he clasped
two straps. The kite was twenty feet
high and made of cloth. The first at-
tempt to fly it was made on an exposed
section of the coast, -w~‘ ere the wind
blew in over a lake. A large parachute
was attached to the frame of the kite,
to which the man was supposed to
cling in case of a fall. Everything be-
ing ready, the kite was braced against
the wind the man took his place, and
fifty men ran against the wind with

the rope. many more holding the
‘ tail. The wind caught the
enormous surface, and amid loud

cheers from the spectators, the man
rose tenfeet from the surface and
there remained, held by the men at the
tail. Slowly the latter released the
rope, and gradually the kite rose. prov.-

widow who was lavish in her expres-

Such an extent that she spent most of
her time at the house.

“hen the wife was thought to/be
sinking and the family were beginning
to fear the worst, the widow walked
up to the husband and Said: “Ah, how
I pity you, Mr. , and these dear
little children. It will be awful if
they are to be reared up without a
mother, to care for them.” At this
juncture the wife, with a mighty ef'
fort. raised 11p in bed with the words;
“011, you needn’t be worried; I am
not going to die. No, I will not die.
and I can get along very well without

Valuuble Advice from ti 0 Bench.

A. country Justice had been elected
but a few days, when a young lawyer
rushed in and demanded a capias.
Now, that Justice did not know a ca-
pias from a police cell, but he disliked
to admit his ignorance. So he said:

“Now, see here, my friend. You are
a young lawyer, and I fear, lack ex—
perience. I would advise you not to
be tbo hasty. Don’t be in a hurry.
Wait twenty-four hours, and then, if
you‘think best, come to me and I will
give you a capias.”

The young lawyer agreed and went
away. The Justice spent the remain-
der of the day getting acquainted with
the writ called capias. When the limb
of the law appeared the next morning.
the Court felt himself qualified to is-
sue capiases by the bushel.

Before he could speak the young law-
cr said:

“Mr. Justice, you were right; I was
hasty. I have that matter fixed up all
right and do not need a capias. I have
come to thank you for the good ad-
vice, agd also have brought you the
S‘. ’ fee you would have 1eceived for the
capias, as I don’t want you to lose by
your good deed.” ‘

He went away believing the Justice
to be a paragon of good sense and legal
lore.

 

Mats in the Bath-Tubs.
The glassy finish of porcelain bath~
tubs sometimes proves dangerous.

- More than one case of broken rib or

serious bruise has been caused by slip-
ping and falling against the iron rim
01' sides. Cork mats or long, small-
sized rubber ones are frequently put
in the bottom of such highly finished
tubs to afford a foothold. The rubber
mats are to be preferred, as the cork
ones chip off f1om frequent soaking,
and pieces are apt to clog the pipes.

Mixture for Perfume Bags.

A delightful mixture for perfuming
clothes that are packed away, and
which is said to keep out moths also,
is made as follows: Pound to a powder

one ounce each of cloves, caraway-~

seed, nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, and
Tunquin beans, and as much orris-root
as will equal the weight of the fore-
going ingredients put together. Little
bags of muslin should be filled with
this mixture and placedtamong the
garments. ’

Turkey owes the European countries

$300,000,000, and if she can collect
enough indemnity from Greece she

may feel disposed to make a payment
on her debt. Possibly it is the hope of
such an arrangement that induced the

co'opeh INTEGRITY.
It is of the Sterling Kind as is Evinced by
Actual Tests.

Theunveiling of the statue of Peter
Cooper in New York was accompanied
by the announcement that Julia Coop-
er, niece of the philanthropist, had be-
queathed $200,000 to Cooper Union. Of
this amount only $100,000 was actually
named in her will, but her brother and
heir found another $100,000 written by
a pencil on the margin, and while in
no way legally bound by this, he recog-
nized her wish that the bequest should
be doubled, and so the Union is $200,.
000 richer. Ex-Mayor Hewitt tells an
interesting anecdote of the death of
Peter Cooper. Literally his last con-
scious act was to indicate to his son
that $200,000 more should be given to
the institution he had found-ed, and
this request his son faithfully carried
out. It has been fourteen years since
Peter Cooper died, but his name is as
well known and honored now as ever.
It is probable, in fact, that his fame
will grow with the growth of New
York. It is of interest to know that
his statue, an excellent work of art by
a leading sculptor, was paid for by
contributions made chiefly by persons
of moderate means. It stands appropri-
ately at the head of the Bowery, in
front of Cooper Union.

BIKE-SKATE A ”WONDER. .

t; 1. ables a. Man to go ’l‘en Miles an Hour
Where Be Likes.

A11 ingenious and practical machine
is now manufactured, which is a com-
bination of the bicycle and the mller
skate. The skater carries on each foot
something that is very much like a
miniature bicycle.

->A bicycle skate consists of a steel
platform connected by a system of
forks, with two Wheels about six'
Inches in diameter, one in front of the
foot and the other behind. The foot of
the skater is about two inches from the
ground. The wheels being at the ex-
tremities of the platform the base on.
which the two feet rests is very long,

"and the point of support is made as

st10ng as possible.

The wheels are fitted with ball bear
lugs and tires of hollow rubber. Pneu-
matic tires have been discarded as not
strong enough.

The bicycle skates were invented in .
England and have already been used
extensively in that country and in
F1ance. A p10ficient rider can easily
travel from ten to fifteen miles \an
hour.

It is claimed for the skates that they
give the riders the advantages of bi<
cycle riding and walking at the same
time. With them a man can go as fast
as he would on a bicycle when riding

for pleasure. When he comes to a place
‘ where a bicycle could not go he can

take off his skates and carry them
with him. Thus he may climb a moun-
tain, get over a fence or walk in a
wood with-out incenvenience when out
with his skates—New York Journal.'

 

A Sparrow‘s Ride In a Fly Wheel.

Birds have all sorts of queer adven-
tures, but perhaps what was the 06.
dest one of recent days is that which
befell a sparrow at Anderson, Ind. It
flew into a knife and bar manufactory,
and, getting too near a small wheel,
was sucked in. The workmen noticed
it go into the wheel, but knowing that
the cylinder was revolving at a. speed
of 130 revolutions a minute, took it for
granted that the bird had been killed.
When the factory shut down“ at noon
the men were astonished to hear a gen-
tle chiip from the wheel, and lo, there
was the spalrow as well as ever. They
found that the bird had clung to the
strengthening rod of the wheel and -
was in a semi-dazed condition. They
picked him up and put him on a. table,
and thence, after collecting his wits,
the little bird flew to. freedom. The
wheel in which the bird rode made
31,000 revolutions while it was upon: it,
and so the tiny feathered creature
travelled seventy-three and eight-

’ tenths miles in the embrace of a fly

wheel.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. 3

A Valuable Invention.
An inventor recently went to the
British War Office with an explosive
that he said would destroy any army
against which it was directed. “It is
the most powerful explosive the world
ever saw,” said the visitor, “and I pro.
pose to send up a balloon over an army
that would attack ours, setting the
fuse so that it might go off the moment
the balloon floated over the army of
the enemy.” “That is all very good, _
indeed,” said the Secretary of War, in
terrupting; “but suppose that a cur-
rent of air should carry your explosive

over our army—what then?” “Well,”

said the inventor, laying his hand on

the right honorable gentleman’s arm,
“I tell you what it is, my friend—our
army would have to get up and run
like the very dickens. ”—New York Tri-
