The MIKADo's CoACH.-Probably the
most costly state chariot ever yet built
has just been completed for the A1ikado
of Japan by Morgan & Co. OF this city.
The body of the vehicle is of the finest
Spanish mahogany, and fashioned after
an old Flemish pattern which allows Of
an unlimited amount of ornamentatiOn
and exceptionable interior comforts. 1t
is considerably larger than European
state carriages generally, but the peculi-
arity of its construction admits Of the
draught being very light. The panels
are painted rich pale green with white
and gold trel!is and scroll ornaments,
the gliding being very profuse. The
metal appointments are silver gilt, the
door handles and lamps being massive
and richly chased. Traditional emblems
of Japan, conspicuously the tortoise and
dragon, surmount each corner of the
roof, in the centre OF which Is a Japan
ese crown. The interior is luxuriously
upholstered with cloth of gold, rich Val
encielnes lace, and green silk velvet or
narcnts. The under carriage is scroll
shaped aud richly carved and gilt, the
color of the wheels matching the body
of tie vehicle. Times.

A FIGHT BETWEEN A DEVIL FISH A

A FIGHT BETWEEN A DEVIL FISH AND
A LOBSTER. interesting account of
the octopus, or devilfsh, has been given
by Prof. Kollman, Of Munich, who
has been studying the animals habits at
the Naples aquarium, where there are
several specimens in tanks. One of them
was placed in the same compartment
with a large lobster, which had recently
killed a turtle two feet long, by crushing
it's skull. A fierce combat ensued, and
the octopus wrenched claw away from
the lobster, who was thereupcn placed
in the adjoining tank. The octopus
then climbed out over the partition, and
was only discovered with the slain lob
ster in his clutches, literally torn in two.
Prof. HOLMAN thinks this pursuit is
proof of intelligence and he shows not
only that these wonderful creatures can
swim backwards and forwards, jump
four feet out of water, use their arms
separately and in different directions at
the same time, and change their colors
through nearly all the colors of the rain
bow, but also that they ere capable Of
recognizing their keepers at the aquar-
ilm, and that they actually manifest at
tachmcnt for these men.

On A FURLoUGH.-Col B-was
standing in the square at Bethel the
other day, when he spied farmer who,
some weeks ago, had sold him load of
very crooked hay. The party in ques-
ton is an active professor of religion,
and n most Jealous worker for his own
pocket. The mans profession and prac-
tice being in such marked contrast caused
the Colonel to eye him with dislike.
When he came up the Colonel charged
him with deception in the matter OF hay.
The skinfiint stoutly denied. the charge.
The Col. drew himself up to full height,
and tisdainfully observed:
81 am soldier, sir; not liar -
$50 am I a soldier" whined the pro-
moter of crooked hay.
''You p calculated the Colonel in a
tone of disgust. What kind of soldier
are you -

A MAN KILLED by MOUSE.-A Il

A NAN KILLED by a MoUsE.-A Bos-
ton paper says: An extraordinary oc-
currence was brought to light i'll an in
quest held on the body of man in South
young girls were at work, mouse made
it's appearance upon table, causing, of
course, considerable commotion and a
general stampede. The intruder was
seized, however, by young man who
happened to be present, but the mouse
slipped ont of his hand, ran up his
sleeve, and came out between his waist
coat and shirt at the neck The unfor-
t1lnate man had his mouth open, and the
mouse, on the lookout for q place of con-
cealment, entered the mans mouth, who
in his fright and surprise swallowed it.
That mouse can exist for q considera-
bic time without much air, has long been
a popular belief, and was unfortunately
proved to be a fact IN the present case,
for the mouse began to tear and bite in
side the man S throat and chest, and the
result was that the unfortunate fellow
died after little time, in great agony.
Several witnesses corroborated the above
facts, medical testimony as to the cause
of death having been given, and a ver-
dict of accidental death was returned.

A CLEVER SwINDLEE. The latest
ed woman called on prominent mental
physician and implored his aid in curing
her son, who was laboring under the de-
lusion that some one owed him 30, 900
francs for diamonds which he had sold.
sBring him here in an hour, and [ Will
see him alone," said the doctor. The
woman went at once to one Of the best
jewelers. and choosing 10000 francs
worth of diamonds, asked the proprietor
to send his assistant to Dr. J. s. who was
her husband and would pay for them.
The name was well known, and the clerk
was sent to the doctors with her. In
the anterOOm she said 81 will see II my
husband is at home" She then told
the doctor that her son was without, and
the doctor said 'sSend him in here. ]"
So she sent the clerk, telling him to leave
the diamonds with her. Arrived in the
doctors room, the clerk was politely
seated and courteously asked after his
general health and habits. After reply
ing to these questions for some time, the
young man limited that he was rather
pressed for time, and would be glad if
the doctor would kindly pay him for the
diamonds. ''Ah, true" said the doctor.
''The $4,000 francs. Well, by and by. !"
Then ensued funny scene, which finally
ended in both parties going in search Of
the ''mother," and finding that she had
got tired of waiting and had gone, for
getting to leave the diamonds.

The pearl fishery, vaguely renowned
even in the days of Pliny, is carried on
principally ut Aripo, ON the west Of the
island, little south of Manaar and Adj
ans Bridge. Few places, from the de-
scription, can be more dreary than the
shore at this spot. a sandy beach, n
few cocoa palms, some thorn bushes and
enormous mounds of shells, which have
accumulated for centuries, do not sound
attractive or picturesque. From March
to May this spot is thronged by some
hundreds of thousands of people inter
ested in the catch, and houses are hast
lily run mp OF mats and palm leaves, and
boats of all sorts and sizes crowd the
beach. The divers mainly come from
begin at sunrise. The plunge to the
bottom is facilitated by stone weighing
thirty pounds attached to rope, in II
loop of which the diver places his foot
and drops pcrpendicularly. AS soon as
he reaches the ground the stone is drawn
up, and the process Of filing basket
with shells commences. Experts remain
under the water not quite sixty seconds,
though the Government inspector had
known one man who could stay eighty
seven seconds. They can go down nine
fathoms, but work has been done in
thirteen. Danger from sharks is only
apprehended and not felt. A profess
sional ''shark charmer" is, however, in
attendance, who recites formula and
supplies charms and amulets for the di-
vers. The immunity from attack prob
abty arises from the noise and disturb
ance OF the waters by SO many hundred
boats. Some divers can bring up 5000
or 4, 600 shells a day, and earn nearly 94
IN eight days work. Failures in the
fishery are not uncommon. During the
occupation of the Dutch, which lasted
40 years, sixty years were unproductive
and there were only four really good
seasons. In one time there was a fail
ure from 1920 to 1928, and another from
1887 to 1859. 1t is not very easy to es-
innate the financial return of this branch
of the revenue, which is usually farmed
out to a speculator. In 1914, rs, 900, 900
of shells were brought up, and in 1898
the farmer paid the Government G140,
900, and realized about ESQ, 900 of prof
it. There is still some doubt, it would
seem. whether the pearl itself is the re-
sult Of disease, or of an independent
natural cOncrction." One naturalist as
cribes the origin TO parasites. Even
greater uncertainty exists as to the pos
sibility of facilitating the grow,h of
pearls by systematic treatment. But we
should say that there can be no doubt as
to the careless and unscientifc way in
which the shells are buried in the sand,
and the valuable part either extracted af-
ter decomposition on forcibly torn out.
The stencil, by the way, which arises
from the putrefaction of such vast num-
bers of shellfish is horrible, and yet Ar
ipo is not converted into huge hospi-
tai. The sea breezcs and the short time
of the fishery may perhaps account for
this immunity from epidenlics.-- .--Satu''-

REHANG Your GR1NDsroNE.-Th
periphery of every grindstone on which
edge tools are ground should run as true
as the dressed surface Of a mill stone, as
it is inpracticable to grind a tool correct
iy on q stone, that revolvs with an IN
even motion. If the periphery of a
stone varies half an inch in each revolu-
ton, the most expeditions way to put it
in order is to loosen the wedges with
which it is keyed to the journal and re-
hang it. Then secure the bearings Of the
journal SO that they cannot be easily lif-
ted out of the boxes and turn the per-
iphery off true and smooth. Let firm
rest be fixed close to the periphery be-
fore attempting to turn off the promi-
with the surface close to the stone, so
that when the turning instrument comes
in contact with the stone it will remove
a thin chip without springing away from
the stone. Stone turner's always employ
for a turning tool the end of bar
Very soft iron is far more effective than
steel. One of the best devices for turn
ing off q snail hand stone consists of a
thirty penny cut nail driven firmly about
two inches into the end of a hard stick
of timber to facilitate holding the nail.
Then, with the end of the nail like tur-
ner's gouge, proceed to turn off the
grindstone. Let grindstones be shaded
always from the summers sun.-N. Y.

WHAT a DYING MAN SAw.-Mr. Davis
S. KilleTn, one of our most beloved and
trustworthy citizens, who died last Fri
day, and who will be buried to- day by
the Knights Tcmplars, is reported to
have made most wonderful revelation
concerning his cousin llntimely death
during his recent sickness. Our in
formant says that he in company with
several other friends, were sitttsin g
at the beside of the sick man, when he
suddenly reused himself from an insensi-
bic state, and in a very excited manner
admonished some invisible persons to be
quick OF the mules would kick his cous-
in Tobe to death, and then in despair he
iell back on the bed saying: ''It is too
late, they have killed him" His friends
at the time did not know what to make
of his strange behavior, but two days
later they received letter from Hawk
insville stating that his cousin, Mr.
Tobe Kellem, had been kicked to death
by his mules at about the time that he
had spoken of the matter here in Atlanta.
DR.. Amos Fox, Mr. Henry Banks and
other reliable gentlemen of this city
were present at the time, and testify to

THE following incident, bordering on
the dramatic, occurred at Mende, France.
A fire was consuming q number of dwell
lings, when from one of the houses, a
most frightful howl was heard. hunt
ing dog was trying in vain to carry ont
the little ones whom she was sucking.
4 man seized her to lead her out, but as
she defended herself fiercely, she was
abandoned, for the flames were approach
ing her She was about to fall a victim
to her maternal love, when q second
courageous citizen, NJ. Gaubert, made
his way to her and tried to lead her out.
She resisted energetically, tore herself
from his grasp, and lay down beside her
little ones. NJ. Gaubert then understood
her wishes, and picked up the young
dogs, and the poor mother followed him
neellly.
