Heather Children aud Tomato


Heather Children aud Tomato Catsup.
Sometimes things get mixed, and
nicely too, if not quite so neatly as was
done by the printer of Canadian news
paper who tagged part of receipt for
tomato catsup on the opening para
graph of an article on Catholicism in
Africa, with the following result: "The
Roman Catholics claim to be making
material advances in Africa, espt cially
iu Algeria, where they have 1S5, 1000 sd-
herents, and missionary society for Cen.

they have obtained firm footing in the
interior OF the continent, and have sent
fort h several missionaries in the equa.
torial regions. They are accustomed
to begin their work by buying heather
children and educating them. The
easiest and best way to prepare them is
to frat wipe them with clean towel;
then place them in dripping pans and
bake them until they are tender. Then
you will have no difficulty in rubbing

What italian Doctors Claim.

Three physicians in the city of Milan,
Italy-Professor Gervasoni, Doctor Tu.
io and Doctor Krebs-claim to have
discovered an infallible cure for by dro.
phobia. Nothing is given out as to the
nature of the remedy and treatment,
but the physicians named propose to
afford the world-at least the American
part ofit-indabitable proofs ofthe value
OF their discovery. They are willing
to come to any city Of America, and to
allow one OF their number to be
bitten by an unmistakably rabid
dog, and to perform the cure
publicly and under the eye of the most
capable observers. A New York jour
nal says: ''They exact three conditions
before coming: 1. They want to be sure
that their cure, if successful, will be
generally accepted. 2. That after the
first favorable trial even greater expert
ments with animals and human beings
shall be made, they agreeing to find the
human victims. 8. That their success
shall reap substantial pecuniary re-
ward. They appeal to all persons in.
terested in the cause Of humanity to aid
them in the realization of this project
by communicating with them"

A Mexican Graveyard.

1t may have been the doleful effect OF
the sermon that decided us to drive
over to the Mexican graveyard, says a
correspondent. It is of small compass
and rests on the side of mountain.
The Texans tell us death occurs here
from the too frequent use of tho six
shooter, rather than disease. The size
of this graveyard, or "el murto," cor
roborstes this statement. It seems i'm
possible for the Mex leans to free them
selves from adobe, even after death. The
bodies are placed in adobe tombs to
keep them from the coyotes that infest
this region. Some of these tombs are
already almost completely demolished
by these hungry animals. The brick
look light and as though easily crum-
bled, but on trying to move oneI found
it as heavy as stone of the same size.
Blocks of wood, bearing Spanish in
scriptions, we're inserted in the heads
of the tombs. They take no pains to
beautify their Eel murto." Inside q
green railing was buried an American
mother and child. The gate of the lot
was radlocked, an unnecessary precau-
ticn, as the railing was low enough to
scale or light enough to be taken up and
carried of, paddock and all.

A LITTLE WILLFUL,

Engaged ~ said Mrs. Buddington,
breathlessly. "And to a woman whom
you know so little of Oh, Frank,
Frank! How recklessly you men fling
your lives about"
Doctor Buddington smiled. Men as
rule do not like to be lectured, but
Doctor Buddington would endure more
of this mental discipline frcm his pretty
sister in-law than from any other living
person.
So he stood there. with folded arms,
leaning against the ruby velvet dra-
peries of the mantel, while Mrs. Tom
Buddington clipped the dead leaves off
her roses and shook her little crepe
head at him warningly.
81 don't suppose I know all about

ten years and really acquire very little
knowledge of her true self. We all
have to take our risks, George, you

"One of your charity patients, sup
pose," said Mrs. Buddington, scorn-
fully.
"You are wrong there, Georgia
said the doctor, with invincible good
humor. 81 met her first at one of the
Thursday evening readings at the hall"
"Oh, I forgot your philanthropic
enterprises" said Mrs. Buddington,
elevating her pink nose-"where the
lame, the blind and the halt are all
tumbled in together
"She is working girl, " said Doctor
Buddington. "And she is in Madame Fa.
vassis embroidery and worsted store
And her name is Angela Adams. And
she lives with her mother in a cheap
boarding-house on Eighth avenue. And

"All y Mrs. Buddington made two
round arches of her eyebrows. 81 sup

it-that she is pretty ?"
"As beautiful as an angel, said Doc

"Oh, dear, dearp' said Mrs. Budding
ton, shaking her head. I'm afraid
you've arrived at the desperate stage Of
the disease, Frank A shop girl in an
avenue boar ding-house, and beautiful
as an ANGEL"
And she drew long sigh OF despair.
Just about the time Doctor Budding
ton was running the gauntlet of his
sister-in-law's half-serious criticisms
Angela Adams was confiding to her
mother the new life which had Just
dawned on her life.
"Angela, You don't mean it p said
poor Mrs. Adams. eft can't be pos
siblel |"
Mrs. Adams was pale and attenuated
and shabby, with great hollows under
her cheek-bones, and eyes that glowed
beneath their brows like smoldering
fires.
Angela was tall and graceful, with
shining nut-brown hair, limpid brown
eyes and delicatel complexion,
"where rose and lily strove together
for mastery" as the old poet says:
"I do mean it |" said Angela. "And
it is possible He loves me and wants
me TO be his wife,"
"Oh, heaven be praised for this r.

A number of carpenters began tearing
out the floor of the old Campbellite
church in Dallas, Texas, the congrega-
tion having fold the property to busi.

floor was going on q piece of oil-cloth
about three feet square as discovered,
and in the folds Of the cloth was
some hard substance. The workman
who had found the object drew his fell
lows around him by his ordinations and
unrolled the cloth in their midst. Three
round packages were revealed. The
finder did not know what the packages
contained and was about to toss them
into corner when some one shouted
That looks like dynamiter' The man
who held the explosive had sense
enough to pace it softly down during
the stampede that followed. After awhile
the workmen mustered up the courage 10
look further. Each piece of dynamite
was more than . foot in length and two
inches diameter. Two bot lies of nitro
glycerine were found also, AS was full
set of burglars tools. The carpen-
ters were so much excited over their
narrow escape that they hesitated
awhile before they could he induced to
go on with their work. Il was evident
that burglars had used the church as q

Three lads. James Horan, John Ebart
and Hensel Woods, we're attempting to
cross the Ohio river at Louisville in
skif when their boat was drawn by the
undeItow into the rapids above the falls.
People on the shore saw the boys sud-
denly bend to their oars as il rowing for
life. They pulled long and hard, but were
drawn down. In the rapids at this sea-
son Of the year the yellow water is beaten
into white foam and whirlpools, seize
whatever comes in their way. The spec
tators saw the skif sucked under by
one Of these whirlpools. its occupants
also disappearing. A moment later the
boat came to the surface bottom up and
the boys were seen clinging to the keel.
The current was drawing them straight
toward the falls, where death was certain
unless they should be rescued. Rescue
was attempted by the life-saving crew
at the station there, but the life-boat
got into a whirlpool and made no
progress. Seeing that help must
be rendered quickly, two young men
Philip Ernest and Olsin Ally-shoved
o Fl in third boat, while the excited
crowd cheered repeatedly. Then there
began close race for life, the over
turned boat being near the falls and that
of the rescuers shooting down the rapids
like an engine down an incline. When
the latter had won and the half
drowned lads had been drawn into the
third boat the outburst from the shore
seemed greater than the roar of waters.
The row back was slow and as full
of danger as the cars path, but
the shore was gained in safety.
While Engineer Webb was driving
his detached locomotive along the track
near Hartford, Conn, the other day, he
saw that the locomotive of a train on
siding projected somewhat upon his
rails. He knew that there must be 8
smashup and so jumped for his life, the
fireman following. The released en-
gine at once started on wild run. Il
struck the projecting locomotive, but
kept the track. The shock threw
open the throttle and let on 3
full head of steam. Away
then went the runaway like fash. A
telegraph operator saw the curious ac
cident and hurriedly dispatched for
everything to clear the track. A switch
man who saw the runaway coming at
the rate of thousand miles minute"
as he expressed it, tried to switch the
locomotive off, but was not in time.
The wild steed rolled on into the Hart
ford depot yard. Engineer Newton and
his fireman we're just getting their engine
and tender off the main track. Huge
masses suddenly upreared in air amid a
cloud of steam, smoke and dust. Then
it was seen that the runaway had struck
Newton's tender, that both had been de-
rallied and that Newton's locomotive
had in turn been sent rumbling away
without man to direct or check it.
But the second runaway was short
lived, for Newton's engine struck and
demolished third, bringing things to
stand-still. There ere lively times
all along the track, yet no one was
killed,

A WONDERFUL PIG.-On the farm of Mr..
a. III. Porter, about three miles from this
place, there is pig which is certainly a
wonder in his way. His pigship, who is
only about four months old, goes out into

the tobacco and eats them. His method Of
proceeding is unique for pig, and shows
a wonderful amount Of sagacity. He will

over, and then strike the leaves on the bot
tom side with his snout, so as to shake the
worms off, and woe to the worm il he falls,
for he is goner. This pig also eats the
suckers that are pulled from the plant by
the hands" and seems to enjoy them,
but he has never been known to chew the
growing leaves or to iniure them in any
way. Taken all in all, he is wonderful

New York HERALD
A policeman found man lying III on the

with symptoms OF poisoning. He gave his
name as Charles Schmidt, German, fity-
three wears OF age. and said he was from
Bethlehem Centre, Albany county. lie
would not admit that he had taken poison,
claiming that his suflerings were due to a
recent attack OF typhoid-feyer. He was re-
moved TO Bellevue Hospital. where be last
night confessed that he had attempted SUI
eide, and explained that he had swallowed
the poison when he discovered that he had
been duped by sharpers.
His story was to the effect that having
inst recovered from an attack OF typhoid
fever he decided TO leave his home at Beth
Iehem Centre and come 10 this city. He
was a carriage-maker and veterinary sur
goon. Upon his arrival here yesterday he
saw an advertisement I'm newspaper TO

From W. L. Snyder, produce-dealer OF
Washington market, friend OF his, he
borrowed $3.50, and then attended the sale.
When he appeared at the stable Schhiiu'
found two men bargaining for fair
looking trotter. The supposed purchaser
acknowledged that he was a horse
dealer. whereupon the man refused to
sell him the animal at any price:
schmidt then stepped forward and bid
on the horse, and finally purchased
II for $3.50. After buying the animal
Schmidt found that it had many defects,
and that he had been swindled, and asked
that his money be refunded. The sales
man refused, saying that with him bar
gain was q bargain. Discovering that ne
had been duped, and becoming satisfied
that he had fallen into the clutches OF
4.skinv horse dealers, Schmidt felt mortl-
fied. He went to aneighboring drugstore
and purchased some tincture OF aconite.
Then he returned to the stable and once
more demanded back his money, saying
that he would dissatisfied with $3.50. The
sharper still refused, and Schmidt becom-
inc desperate, swallowed the poison. When
the salesman saw what the cOuntryman had
done, and fearing an exposure, he gave
him hi. money back and led him to the
street. There Schmidt fell, apparently IN
a fit. and was removed TO Bellevue Hospi-

among the guests of the hotel young man
from Atlanta. who volunteered to act as her
guide las he knew every foot Of the country
and show the fair visitor the sights. She
thankfully accepted him Is an escort, and
on the second day OF her stay the couple
left the hotel for ramble. They left
about O'Clock, and at shutdown had not

easy and strolled down as far as che Grand

burned to the hotel, expecting that they
had arrived by another route but sad
disappointment awaited him nothing had
been heard of the pair. He waited an
hour longer, in great distress, when Il dark
ness rs black as ink set in. The frantic
old gentleman then explained The cause OF
his distress to the male visitors, and begged
that they assist him the search. Seve-
raj squads were at once" organized,
equipped with torches, and the search
BEGAN. No one could tell in which di-

and so they first visited the falls, peering
down all the precipices and into the pools
OF water, expecting TO find their mangled
remains. The agony of the father was in

exposed his life. 1t was just 10 O'Clock
when the falls were thoroughly explored,
when some one proposed searching the
mountains on the opposite side OF the river.
This was accepted, and squad crossed the
bridge, dividing up and going different
routes. One party, who decided to go out
among the mountains, when near the top OF
one, some distance from the hotel, thought
they heard a moan OF distress at some dis

discovered the lost couple sitting at the
root OF large tree, and both crying a. II

having pulled off his coat to afford the lady
