of that generation he inoculated number OF
subjects. The incubation was invariably sue
cessful, symptoms Of the disease appearing in
a very short time after the operation. A
bachelor, aged 50 years, on the first day after

a suit of new clothes and set Of false teeth,
bought top buggy. bottle of hair restorer,
diamond ring and guitar, and began read

Attempt to AssaSsinate n Priest

Attempt to AssaSsinate n Priest.
Pittsburg Dispatch
On Sunday, while large congregation was
at vespers at St. Mary's Catholic church, the
members were startled to see a stout, we'll
built man, dressed roughly in dark suit,
stalk in and seat himself in the rear of the
room without taking his hat off. He held in
his right hand a huge black-handled case
knife, and as the gas light fell upon its open
blade, i, cleaned like mirror, indicating that
it had just been sharpened, and the point was
very sharp. A gentleman named O'Brien, who
sat in the pew, motioned courteously to the
stranger to take of his hat, and he did so, and at
the same time struck the weapon on the back
of the pew in front of him aid closed it with a
snap. As the service was drawing to a close
and the officiating priest, Father Lambin, was
about to walk to the front Of the altar, the
man arose and walked to the front and stood
within few feet of the altar, still holding the
knife in his hand, but with the blade concealed
from sight under the folds OF his coat sleeve.
A warning cry from some one in the congre-
cation drew the pastors attention to his
danger, and before the assassin could mount
the altar Father Lambin had disappeared
through door in the rear of the sanctuary.
The man, who was afterward captured, was
found to be insane.

UPSON AND THE p. o.

The fact that Manning remains in the post
Office in this city has been cited as an instance
Of Mr.. Upson's lack Of influence, since it is
well-known here that Mr.. Epson has de-
nounced Manning in the severest terms. A
Washington correspondent states that the
failure to have Mr.. Newcomb's nomination
acted on is due to Mr.. Upson's secret oppo-
sition.
This may explain Mr.. Mannings extraordi-
nary effort to figure in convention as opposed
to Gov. Davis.

The Diet of the Jnpanese.

Few natives, except officers in the cap

scarcely vet known. About two hundred
varieties of fish are eaten, one-half of the
people eating fish every day. The food

A list of the food-plants in use, not in
cluding sea-plants, has been prepared,
with their analysis, by Professor Edward
Kinch. of the Toxic University. A large
number of these substances are unknown,
or at least unused, in the United States.
OF rice, which occupies in its culture one
half of the cultivated land, there are two
hundred and fifty varieties of seed IN the
country. Millet is extensively used, buf
bread raised from sponge" of yeast is
scarcely vet known in the popular diet

however, in use.

The Mungoose as a Rat Killer.
Scientific American

The introduction of the mungoose into
Jamaica as a cure for the once formidable
rat pest on the sugar plantations is said
to have proved notable success. The
sugar rat is huge white bellied fellow,
measuring ten inches in length of body
his long tail adding ten inches more to
his length. Formerly the damage done
to the sugar plantations of this island by
these rats amounted to something like
half million dollars year, rising to a
quarter of the crop in seasons of special
ravages. About five years ago the mum
goose, whose zeal as snake and rat Kill
Ter is well known, was imported from In
dia. As a result the plague of rats has
been greatly diminished, with a saving
in sugar of not less than 25 tons of sugar
on each estate. There is also saved the
expense of rattage, formerly amounting
to hundreds of dollars year.

Tit forTat.

An old lady of his flock once called
upon DR.. Gill with a grievance. The
doctors neck bands were too long for hel
ideas of ministerial humanity, and after
a long harangue on the sin of pride, she
intimated that she had brought a pair OF
scissors with her, and would be pleased
if her dear pastor would permit her tc
cut them down to her notions of pro-
priety.
The doctor not only listened patiently
but handed over the offending white
bands to operate upon. When she had
cut them to her satisfaction and returned
the bibs it was the doctors turn.
"Now," said he, "you must do me a
good turn, also"
"Yes, that l will, doctor, what can it
be?"
"Well, you have something about you
which is a deal too long and which causes
me no end of trouble, and ! should Like
to see it shorter"
Indeed, dear sir, / will not hesitate
what is it? Here are the scissors, use
them as you please"

At recent meeting of the Pho.ogrs

Ata recent meeting of the Photogrs-
pLic Society of France, NJ. Jansen
handed around a magnificent proof of
the late partial eclipse, and said few
words upon the long-discussed question
of a lunar atmosphere. In speaking
upon this subject he said: suppose for
moment that the moon is surrounded
by an atmosphere, what would be the
result if we took Photographic view Of
it during an eclipse? The lunar disk
would be sharp enough, but there would
be a gradual decline in density, as in a
vignetted portrait. This is exactly the
contrary Of what took place, as the proof
will show. The lunar disk is very sharp
and the negative is rather intensified
near the disk, probably from retracted
light" NJ. Jansen appears to doubt the
existence Of lunar atmosphere.

Haley, Idaho, will undoubtedly be
an important railway center in the
near future. The Wood River Branch
broad GAUGE of the Oregon Short
Line will make its terminus here. The
country to the North, East and West
OF us Is developing SO wonderfully MS
bullion producer that the construc-
ton by the Union Pacific Company Of
narrow gauge feeders to at least four
different districts is only question of
year or two.
The Haley and Bullion Line, lead

rich mineral belt along the Smokes.
with branch to Camas prairie, is
thoroughly practicable, as demonstrate
cd by surveys now going on.
1t will no doubt be the first built.
rs the traffic would warrant its inme-
date construction. This will ulti-
mately be extended westward to
Rocky Bar, Atlanta, and Boise.

River Line, leading northwarl to Kct-
ohum, IA miles, Galena, IS miles,
Vienna, IS miles, Sawtooth. so miles,

Clayton, Bay Horse and Challs, from
100 to l4O miles, is next in lmpor-
lance and perfectly feasible, as dem
onstrated by Union Pacific SURVEYS of
last summer. This will develop a
mineral and forest region second in
either extent or richness to no other
in the world.
The HALEY & Little Wood River
Line, running easterly from HALEY
through East Fork District to Null
doom and other Little Wood River
camps, distance 90 to rs miles, is pro-
badly next. The valuable ir n ores
Of East Fork will have to DO brought
to Haley by thousands of tons to be
used as flux to our shelters, while the
other business will soon become Of
great magnitude.
The Haley and Deer Creek Line
will soon be a tangible enterprise. if
present developments in the mines
continue as favorably as for the past
few months. This will he about Is
miles long, and penetrate valuable
forests as we'll as mining districts.
These lines will all be narrow gauge
and the transfer of their enormous
traffic at HALEY will alone make bust

The Governor-General of Canada.
as he appeared to a Chicago reporter,
was "a well-made, broad shouldered,
good looking man, more English than
Scotch in his looks, and about thirty
tive, with the Campbell features, not
excepting the red hair, modest in
manner, and speaking in a gentle
voice, with decidedly Scotch
brogue.' The Princess Louise, as
seen on the same occasion, is thus de-
scribed: "She is a well-formcd, hale
woman, of thirty-fve or thereabouts.
She has the features of her mother,
and modest yet frank demeanor.
That she is her mothers daughter
there is not the slightest doubt, and
among the other ladies she would be

bright, intelligent face, which lights
up pleasantly when she converscs."
