it had but one lung.

Michigan. The finest strawberries
found on this continent are raised on the
southern shores of Lake Superior. They
are OF very large size and have very
high flavor, and are SO fragrant as to
render them desirable for the aroma they
throw off. Observation shows that con-
tlnued sunlight produces aroma and
nigh flavor the same as high tempera-
ture produces the quality of sweetness.
In high latitude the days during sum-
mer are very long, and it is at this sea-
son that the flowers blossom and the
fruits ripen. The addition of two or
three hours of sunshine had wonderful
effect In producing flavor and fragrance.
The quantity of essential oil that can be
extracted from flowers grown in Sweden
is much larger than can be obtained from
the same kind of flowers raised in the
south of Europe. Flowers raised in
houses are less fragrant than those raised
out OF doors, as they get less light. It is
believed in England that the electric
light may be made useful not only in in
creas1ng the growth of plants, but in
adding to the fragrance AID flavor of
fruits subjected to it's influence. Ex-
per1ments already made show that flow
ers grown in houseslighted by electricity
during the night are much more fragrant
than those which grew out of doors. -

A Wonderful Lake.
lFrom Harper's Young People

tFrom Harpers Young People,
Carniola, in the western part of Aus
tria, and fronting on the Adriatic Sea, is
region remarkable chiefly for It's sub
terranean streams and immense cayerns
and abysses. It is very mountainous,
being traversed by spurs of the Alps,
and covers an area of 3, 857 square miles.
Its inhabitants are hardy, thrifty race,
engaged ia the cultivation of wine, tim
Der, maize and millet.
Of all the wonders of nature to be
met with in this country, the one most
deserving of notice is the lake of Kirk
nitz. This lake takes its name from a
small market town, with population of
1900, and situated about thirty miles
northeast of Trieste, the principal sea-
port city of Austria.
Lake Zirknitz lies in deep valley
surrounded by beautiful hills. 1t is a
fair sheet of water, six miles long and
three miles broad, and teeming with
fishes and waterfowl. The monotony of
this large expanse of water is relieved
by five small islands, on one of which is
the village of Ottok. These islands are
favo1ite resorts for picnic parties. The
bottom of the lake is formed of lime
stone rock, and is full of clefts and fs-
sures. During prolonged dry weather
the waters pass into these caverns, car
rying their fnny inhabitants with them.
The church-bells give warning when the
first sign of the sinking of the lake is OBJ
served, and the people have to make the
most of the fishing while there is yet
time.
When the water has entirely disap-
peared, crop of luxuriant heritage
takes its place, affording pasture for the
cattle of the neighboring farmers, who
are thus enabled to reap where before
they went a-fshing. With the recur-
renee of heavy rains the lake gushes
forth from it's underground retreat, rises
speedily to its normal level, and resumes
! its ordinary appearance.
Until a comparatively recent time the
causes of the periodical disappearance
| of the lake were involved in mystery,
| and people were content to accept as @
| fact that which they could not explain.
In later years, however, scientific men
have devoted many years OF their lives
to the task of exploring these under
ground recesses, and with the happiest
results.
Although the subterranean geography
of this region has been, to the present,
only sketched out, still enough has been
discovered to satisfy them that many oil
the underground passages extend to long
distances, and it has been conclusively
proven that the waters of the Zirknitz
Lake at the periods of their recession
flow through underground channels into
the river Unz, which further on joins
the river Save, tributary Of the Dan
uhe

A Moorish Slave Market.
Morocco Cor. of the London Stands

MorOCCO COr. Vi Gno LONDON STANDARD.
On the occasion of which mention has
been made there were about fifty or sixty
persons for sale of both sexes and all
ages, most of them black as Jet, and
from their features evidently nat ives of
the Soudan, some of whom were to be
sold only in lots, with two or three chill
dren. These were the drudges for house
and field work, the price of whom is al
ways moderate, and strictly commensu-
rate to the amount of work they are
likely to be able to perform. But beside
these were two female figure. who evil
IDENTIFY excited no small amount of inter
est in the gray-bearded old Moors who
formed no small proportion of the pur-
chasers. One of them was a closely
yelled Moorish girl, whose features were
revealed only to inquiring customers,
but who from a passing glance did not
appear to be remarkable for her beauty:
the other was a really pretty girl from
the province of Sus, whose -colored
caftan and green silk head-dress con-
trasted pleasantly with her olive COM
plexion and long black lashes. They
were all neatly and tidily dressed, bear
ing no sign of ill-treatment or scant
nourishment, and were treated with all
consideration by both statesmen and pur-
chasers, though the examination made
by the latter of the teeth, arms, etc., of
those they bid for was very repulsive to
those unaccustomed to such sights.

A WhirIWind of Heat,
lFrom the Arizona STAR

During the fire at Tombstone the in
tense heat produced an eddying current
of air whibh passed from the burning
building, took circular route through
the southern part of the city, and, cross
ing Military plaza, sending olumn of
dust hundreds of feet skyward, finally
struck the brick building near the round
house, occupied as an engine-room,
storeroon, and master mechanics Office.
The doors and windows being opened,
the wind gained entrance and in Sec
ond's time lifted the roof from it's fasten-
ings and let portions fall many feet away.
This roof, consisting of huge plates OF
corrugated sheet-iron, was attached to
the brick walls by strong iron bars.

A City Under Ground.
[From the Travers {Fla.) Herald

lFrom the Travers (Fla.) Herald
For the past six months the work of
digging the canal to connect Lakes Eus-
tbs and Dora, in order to open up the
more southern lakes of the "Great Lake
Region of Florida :" has been prosecuted
The second cutting of the canal was fin
ished last week under the supervision of
Mr.. T. FL. Sprott, who has been from the
commencement one of the foremen on
the work. At the outlet of Lake Dora
the sandbar had already been cut to the
depth of nearly or quite three feet on
the previous digging, and was dug about
two feet deeper last week. At distance
of over four feet below the old level of
Lake Dora mound was discovered.
The first excavations revealed the exis-
tence of clearly defined wall lying in a
line trending toward the southwest from
where it was first struck. This wall was
composed of dark-brown sandstone,
very much crumbled in places, but more
distinct, more clearly defined, and the
stone more selidas the digging increased
in depth. The wall was evidently the
eastern side of an ancient home or forti-
fcation, as the slope of the outer wall
was to the west.
About eight feet from the slope of the
eastern wall mound of sand was struck,
imbedded in the muck formation above
and around it. This sand mound was
dug into only few inches, as the depth
of the water demanded but slight in
creased depth of the channel at that
point, but enough was discovered to
warrant the belief that here on the
northwestern shore of Lake Dora is sub
merged city or town or fertilization
older by centuries than anything yet dis
covered in this portion of Florida.
Small, curiously-shaped blocks of sand
stone, some of them showing traces of
fire, pieces of pottery and utensils made
of mottled flint, We're thrown out by the
men while working waist-deep in water.
A spear-head of mottled flint, five and a
half inches long by one and quarter
inches wide, nicely finished, is now to
be seen at the Herald Office, which was
taken from the top of the sand-mound
and about four feet below the water-level
of the lake

Loves Devious Ways.

The chamber-maids of Austria appear
to be more tender-hearted than their SUI
periors. A young German gentleman
went to Vienna to propose for charm
ing girl he had met at one of the Bohe-
milan watering-places. He alighted at a
hotel, where one Of the cbambermaids to
whom he had scarcely ever spoken be-
yond asking gravely for his boots, fell
violently IN love with him. He could
not make similar conquest of the pa
rents of young lady he came to court, SO
he committed suicide. The soft-hearted
chamber-maid declared she could not
survive the handsome German. A few
days after young girl was seen on the
Sill OF an upper window, struggling with
another woman who strove to hold hel
back; but she finally broke away, and,
leaping from the window, smashed he1
skull.

An Aztec Princess,
(From a New York Special.l

A singular and somewhat CHASTITY relic
was disposed Of by auction at Broad
way salesroom. TWAS described by the
auctioneer as an "Aztec Princess but
1t was, in fact, only the lady's head, the
rest OF the frame still, so far as appeared
to the contrary, reposing In the land of
her birth. The head was about as big as
that of good sized doll, but had been
submitted to the well-known hattening
process. 1t had been removed from the
trunk by some sharp instrument, and
the lips were laced together with strings.
The skin was dark, the hair Jet black
and about eighteen inches long, except
over the forehead, where it formed a sort
of bang" The antiquity and genuine
ness of this curious OBJECT are vouched
for by Prof. Albert Bickmore, of the
historical society, but neither he nor
other Swans who have examined it can
pretend to fix date for it or explain the
secret of its preservation. Its known
history begins with its capture from a
tribe of Indians known as "Dirt-
Eaters. " who worshiped it. It was sent
from Para to be sold, and, after a spirit
ed contest, was knocked down to the
proprietor of a Broadway museum for
1905.

The /" Cracker"
IN. Quad, in Detroit Free Press.

IN. Quad, in Detroit Free Press.]
LIE you never saw what is called a
Georgia cracker" you have missed an
exhibition worth seeing. He is the poor
white man. He is poor because he is
lazy. He is lazy because there is no
hard work about it. He has figured the
business Of existing on earth right down
to fine thing. He can live cheaper in
the country than in the town. He
"squats " on somebody's land, or rents
1t until elected, after years of non-pay-
ment; and his house is not what troubles
him. Anything with a roof on it and
chimney at one end is house and a
home. 1t leaks, but it only leaks when
it rains, and the "cracker figures on
about SO much rain per year. The walls
are full of holes and crevices, but they
let as much air out as they let in, and so
it is an even thing. The chimney is
built of sticks and mud, and he sees no
particular reason why chimney should
be plumb. If the door will swing he or
some one else may shut it once in
awhile, but if the hinges are broken or
the door Says, that ends that.
The cracker has family. His wife
is tall, raw-boned and sickly, and she
goes barefoot because it saves the shoe
leather. The children never wear hats
nor shoes and are never washed nor
combed unless there is a funeral or a
wedding close by. The furniture con-
slsts of straw beds, two CT three chairs,
pine table, two kettles, few pieces of
crockery, two or three knives and forks
and spoons, and if the plates won't go
round some one eats off the table. The
whole business can be loaded into cart
in few minutes and drawn anywhere in
the world by dying mule.
The "cracker" sows a few seeds and
depends on the Lord to hoe and reap and
store the product. He owns cart and
mule, or cart and a spotted OK, and
if that OK can draw man and cart and
fifty cents worth of wood to market there
is no yearning after Vanderbilts mil
lions. Thirty cents goes for plug to-
bacco and whisky and the other twenty
for groceries or "fxings," and as you
meet the noble duke on his homeward
journey he "whoa's" up on his OK,
shoves up the old straw hat, and re-
marks:
Stranger, I calkerlate We don't know
of some good place whar' hard-workin'
pilgrim kin arm a decent ivin' fur his
distressed family, do you ?"
