When Lees army was passing
through Chambersburg, Pa, in 1868,
on the way to Gettysburg, Mr.. Mes.
sersmith, the cashier ofthe bank, took
a station on the bank steps and under.
took to ascertain the number of men,
of tallying every hundred men on
slip of paper in his hand. A Confed.
officer ordered him to desist under
threat of being placed in arrest. Mr..
Messersmith bowed and proceeded to
his barn and obtained 100 grains of
corn, which he held in his right hand,
which was thrust into his pantaloons
tocket. He again took his stand on,
he steps OF the bank, and for every.
hundred men that passed he dropped
grain of corn. When his hand was
empty he had numbered 10000 men,
and then he gathered the grains up
again to repeat the enumeration.
Thus he stood in the hot sun-and,
indeed the weather was searching at
the time-counting until he had mum.
bered the entire host, amounting to
$4,000 men. During the night he
communicated to Governor Curtin the
information he had thus obtained

The Latest Fashionable Kink.

BE certain, girls, and acquire the
last fashionable kink before starting
away this summer. The correct thing
in eyebrows this season is to curve
them into surprised expression.
This will be hard on girls who frown
habitually, but we have got to come
to it, that's all about it. A little
practice before the hall mirrorin the
hat-rack will fix you all right. Use
it first on the car conductor when he
asks you that dreaiy conumdrum,

serveit up at the different shops you

at the first young man you meet in

 cling fast long enough to permit con-
 siderable absorption of the saliva, it
 it would probably prove fatal.Should
 any article of clothing intervene to
 be bitten through, or should the rep tile be quickly shaken of, nothing more serious than a painful swelling would probably result. Dr. Shufeldt was bitten by one which had been sent to the Smithsonian institution. It seized his thumb, sinking the teeth to the bone, but relaxed it's hold inn mediately. Though the poison was sucked from the wound as far as possible. The pain extended up the arm to the shoulder and down the side, continuing through the night in sufficient force to prevent sleep, but subsiding next day. The wound healed readily in a few days.-N.

The Gila Monster.

What is commonly known as the Gila lizard, found chiefly in Sonora and Arizona, has for some years been regarded as curiosity by naturalists, owing to the fact that 1t Is the only one of the lizard family reputed to have poisonous bite. It grows to length of three feet, and among the Mexicans Is commonly regarded as more poisonous than any serpent. On the other hand, 1t IS of a sluggish nature, and so many instances have occurred in which children have made pets of small specimens with out coming to any harm that much i2credulity has been expressed as to its dangerous nature. A paper re
 gently presented before the Philadel- phia College of Physicians stated in response to inquiries two letters had been received from Arizona, one of which described the lzard as ''more peaceful and harmless than a young missionary" while the other declared it to be ''worse than whole apothe
 cary shop" Recent experiments made with captive specimens of the Gila monster. however, seem to dem
 onstrate satisfactorily its poisonous small teeth, and when it bites a quantity of saliva is disoharged.- This saliva or fluid is found to be a active poison of very peculiar nature. It causes no local injury, but seems to act directly upon the heart, arrest
 ing its action, in diastole. Its effect is entirely different from that of the venom of serpents, which causes local hemorrhage. As is true in the case of ssrpents, however, the degree of danger resulting from bite would depend entirely upon the amount of poison injected into the blood. A bite from a large rattlesnake is more dangerous than from 8 small one, and a bite in which the two fangs penetrate the skin is twice as serious as where only one fang is inserted, simply because the amount of venom iniecttceGa! is greater, The teeth of the lizard are small, easily broken and frequently nearly all missing. The experiments made seem to indicate that while the bite may be easily fatal to small animals. it would but rarely happen that it would kill a

 A few elk remain in the northern part of Arizona, but there are none in the south that We have heard of
 Peccaries, or musk hog, are very plentiful in the southern part of the Territory They are small animals of the hog kind, and grow to 50 or 70 lbs. in weight. These are the an imals which Goldsmith, in his 'Ani mated Nature" told us rested of nights by hanging their long tusks over the lower limbs of trees, and, thus suspended, sleep securely.
 Gray fox are plentiful in all the higher table lands of Arizona, and in the foothills of the higher ranges of mountains. Beaver are numerous along the water courses. Of rats we have number; the common wood rat, the big and little kangaroo rat, and rat of the wharf species, with a file tail one-fourth longer than its body. Of mice, we have the common house, the kangaroo, the common field, and the little black mouse.
 We have the larg9 gray squirrel, the pine squirrel, chipmunk, the com mon ground, the bushy, striped tail, side striped, the flag tail, the lime tail, and perhaps one or two other varieties.

WILD MAN OF KANsAs.-For more
than year veritable wild man has
been terrorizing the Kansas plains to
Utah. Where he came from, who he
was or where he staid was so much of
mystery that many of those in
clined to be superstitious believed
him to be one of the Danites, or
avengers of Blood sent back from
perdition to carry on the work of de-
struction among the Gentiles. A few
days ago he made descent on two
prospectors, one of whom carried a
double barreled shotgun and the
other an ak. The contents of the
gun were emptied into the bowels of
the Infatuated being and he fell with
his face in the sand. A moment later
he jumped up and started to run, but
was felled with a blow on the head
with the AK and killed. He was
probably crazed by injuries received
at the Mountain Meadow massacre,
and had been running wild ever
since
