Saved by Her Calves.

The utility of a pair of patent saw.
dust calves was strikingly illustrated
last Saturday in Philadelphia. Shortly
after 4 O'Clock in the afternoon a mad
cur, pursued by two perspiring pc.
llcemen, dashed into Eighth street
from Walnut and caused such a lut.
ter among the petticoats as that local
ity has seldom witnessed. Among
the femininity that was founcing
along was q nymph who filings her
shapely legs before the footllghts of
the Grand Central Theatre. This
female could not face a rabid canine,
20 she bundled up her petticoats and
made q dash with the others for safety.
Her legs. which had served 50 well
before, did not 60 back on her this
time, for the mad dog, probably at
tracted by the development below the
knee, drove his poisonous fangs into
her stocking and went bowling on.
The ballet dancer, more dead than
alive, was dragged into a drug store,
where an eager and anxious crowd Of
men carefully examined her legs.
Their fears we're allsyed, however.
when the discovery was made that
the canine had only destroyed the
saw dust padding which the young
woman had tied to q lean shank to
give it roundness and attractiyeness.
The eager, anxious and solicitous
men departed much sadder and a
heap wiser.

eight tons of this rich mineral was put
on the dump. The lead is solid
and in place. The city is wild with ex-
element, and hundreds of people have
visited the wonderful discovery--Bo-
uanza Col.) Enterprise.
Sr. H. Diaz Pena who arrived in
Tucson, Arizona, from Mexico, recently
brought with him probably the most
splendid specimen of silver ore that
has been seen in that section. In weight
there are about twenty-eight ounces of
pure silver and a half ounce of quartz.
The mine from which this is taken is
located in the state of Sinaloa, about
one hundred miles southeast from
Alamos, in Sonor. 1t was recently dis
covered by mere accident. A van
quero was riding over the mountain in
search of stray cattle, when his atten-
ton was attracted by large boulder,
which appeared unusually rich in
metal. Upon examination it proved
to contain several thousand dollars in
silver. 1t was taken to the mint at
Hermosillo and sold for upward of
1900. Three brothers named Berrey-
essa purchased the mine, and in one
week they extracted more than 1928 900
worth of the same kind ofquartz.

French Economy,

The French laborer probably gets
more for his wages than any other.
His food is cheaper and more nourish-
ing. His bouillien is the essence of
beef at q penny per bowl. His bread
at the restaurant is thrown in without
any charge and is the best bread in the
world. His hot coffee is peddled about
the streets in the morning at sou per
cup. It iscofee, not slops. His half bot
tie of claret is thrown in at meal costing
twelve cents. For few cents he may
enjoy an evenings amusement in one
Of the many minor theatres, with his
coffee free. Six cents pays for nicely
cushioned seat at the theatre. No gal
lery gods, no peanuts, drunkenness,
yelling or bowling. The Jarden DIES
llantes, the vast galleries and museums
of the Louvre, Hotel Cluny, palace of
the Nuremberg and Versailles. are al
ways free for him to enter. Art and
science hold out to him their choicest
treasures at small cost, or no cost at
all. French economy and frugality do
not mean that constant retrenchment
and self denial which would deprive
life of everything worth living for.
Economy in France. more than in any
other country, means utilization OF
what We in the United States throw
away, but it does not mean q pinching
process of reducing life to q barren ex-
istence Of work and bread and water.

The Telephoae IN Hungary.

Mr.. d. III. Washburn, who has been
engaged for some months introducing
the telephone into Buda- Pesth, Hun
gary, reports very encouraging success.
He writes that the director of the COM
pany, Mr.. Francis Puskas, had obtain
ed the exclusive right to use the tele-
phone in Hungary, and that connec-
tons were being made between Buda-
Pesth and the adjacent towns. The
charge for the service is fifteen gpilders
about six dollars month. TIE Ed
ison transmitter Is used with magnetic
call. Supplies are got mainly from
New York.
Mr.. Washburn finds the Hungarians
very backward in the adoption Of mod
ern Improvements. A good mechanic
in Buda- Pesth gets from six dollars to
ten dollars . week, and does as much
work as an American, with improved
tools, could do IN an afternoon. The
cost Of living is reasonable, good din
ner with wine costing about seventy
1--WE cents. The beef is poor, and the
pork dear, guilder (forty-one cents) a
pound. Vegetables are good and cheap.
Rents are not high.

ence OF paternal government, Mr..

Destruction.

When the Southern Ocean was first
opened to British enterprise by the dis
coveries of Captain Cook, it teemed
with animal life. Fur seals and hair
seals abounded on the coasts of Austria
liza and New Zealand, and on the out
lying islands. They were at once set
upon and killed, the slaughter being
conducted without regard to sex or sea-
son. The result was the total extirpa-
ton of several species. Gone might as
soon expect to meet sca-lion on Lon
don Bridge as on any one of the islands
in BASIS Strait" was the reply of a
New Zealand naturalist to an inquiry
about the seal-life that early voyagers
had observed. The same result has
happened at the Falkland Islands, at
Cape Horn, and on the Pacific sea-
board of South America. A vessel
called the Betsy took 100000 skins
from the Island of Masafuera at the
beginning of the century, an exploit
which left no survivors for future ad-
and the island of Juan Fer
nandez, where, in Anson's time, there
we're seals in abundance, has now only
) few stragglers to show. The same
hing happened at the South Shetlands.
In 1922 British sealers took away
$40, 600 skins for the two years, killing
males and females Unfortunately,
