The following is from the gossip OF
"Alan About Town in the New York
.Star: As | was walking up Broadway
one day last week with friend of mine,
who is prominent physician-that is,
he has been lucky enough to catch on to
a practice among wealthy people ex-

and wealthy contractor.

the physician after he had passed.

Brilliant isn't strong enough to OK

''Do you know where his brilliancy
comes from2" inquired the doctor.
"What fool question that is" said
l. why, from his natural activity of
brain and vivacity of spirits"

companion. cts all due to morphine -

with the doctor in a dark room back of
the office. At precisely o'clock in the
afternoon, as had been predicted, my
friend the contractor appeared and pur-
chased the morphine. Stepping into the
office he took off his over and under
coats, rolled up his shirt sleeves and pre-
pared to inject the poison with syringe.
His arm was covered with scars.

The Musscl for Diet.

According to an exchange the mussel
is one of the most delicious of bivalves,
yet it is only recently that the American
is learning to eat it, and even now it is
seldom met with away from the sea-
board. In New York city mussels can
be bought by the bushel, and are for
sale on the street oyster stands at ten
cents per plate, or twenty-five cents a
bucket. The buckets are neat little tin
pints, in which the purchaser can carry
them home.
The opened mussels are sold cooked,
and generally picked in vinegar and
spices. They are a golden yellow in
color, fat, healthy and delicious. The
French and Italians, especially the Sar-
dinans ana Cici!ians, know how to cook
and cat musscs They cultivate them
on wooden frames set in the sea, and
produce them of enormous size. The ia
voritc use is to steam them and serve up
in the shell. A sop is made of vinegar,
spices, mustard and oil. \ mussel is
twisted from his she'll, his beard pulled
OIL dragged through the sop, and down
your throat he slides. The American
has not arrived ut this understanding

Central Americn.

The region called Central America is
500 or 900 miles long and from 80 to 800
miles broad. The name has come to
signify a geographical division, like
North America or Africa Strictly the
region belongs to the continent of North
America but the formation Of the repub-
lie of Central America, which maintained
a federal form Of government from 1923
to 1889, has affixed the designation per-
mancntly.
The areas of the five republics into
which the federation dissolved are given
by the celebrated geographcrs, Benin and
Wagner, as follows; Guatemala, 40, Az
square mics; Honduras, 1912; San
Salvador, 1880: Nicaragua, 90, 12O
Costa Rica, 90, 704.
The State of Panama, which lies cast
of Costa Ilica, is often classed with Cen
trail America, and the news which comes
from it relating to South America is al
most always placed under the head Of
Central America in the papers; but it is
one of the states of the republic of Co.
lumbia. Since it lies across the isthmus
dividing the two continents, and on both
sides, we give its area. 30, 900 square
miles. 1t is the seat of frequent revolu-
tions, and is attached to Columbia more
nominaly than really.
The population of the Central Ameri-
can states is about as follows Guate.
maia. 1,252, 491; san Salvador, 554, 1Sj :;
Nicaragua, 215, SIS; Honduras, $50. 600;
Costa RIGA, 1S5, 900. Panama has 800,
600 population.

A DESPERATE FIGHT,
Texas Rangers Furnishing Mexican
Cattle Thieves.

A messenger arrived at Laredo, Texas,
with the news that bloody battle had taken
place at Carrie Springs between a band of
Irangers under Sheriff Tomlinson and a large
|party of Mexicans from Neuva Laredo.
few days ago three Mexican horse
thieves were caught near the Springs by some
of the rangers and are alleged to have
| been lynched. Some members of the
band escaped and were pursued. The Next
cans started for the Rio Grande. Sheriff
|Iomllnson joined the rangers with two of his
deputy sheriIs and the pursuit was pushed
with vigor On Thursday afternoon the
Texans overlook the McXicans, who had been
heavily reinforced by other members
| of the band and by Il score of
Mexican tusitives. As only half
| of them We're mounted their progress
was slow. The rangers were all armed with
Winchester rifles and Colts revolvors and
We're led by Captain Shelley and Sheriff Tom
linson. They opened fire when within shoot
/ ing distance, and at the first volley hat-a
dozen Mexlcans fell and those who were
mounted put spurs to their horses and
fled The others returned the fire
OF the posse and wounded five. William
Marshal, one Of the wounded, has since died
The Texans empted their revolvers, after
their rifles were fired, and the result was that
ten MeNlcanS wsre killed outright, and it is
believed that fifteen others We're wounded
Several of the wounded were captured by the
Texans and a horrible story is told regarding
their disposition. 1t is said that many We're
Shot to death on the field.
The most reliable Information places the
Mexican force at l20 and that of the Texans
lat fifty.

Restoration OF Apparently Dead Carp.

Wishing to examine some scale carp
na,Omically, says Charles W. Scudder,
Of the United States fish commission, |
visited the central Matching station of
the United STATES fish commission in the
armOry building, and called for dead
carp, as they would answer my purpose
as we'll as live ones. Mr.. }. Z. Brown
handed me seven or eight, which were
from one to three inches in length, and
which had been thrown out OF the tanks
as dead. These l at once put into an
envelope and carried home in my pocket.
At least an hour later | removed them
from the envelope and put them in a
wash-bowl of water for cleansing them.
! soon noticed that two of them were
floating ON their sides and occasionally
gaspng. \ hall-hour after this, for the
purpose of discovering how much vitality
there might be in the two in which had
observed signs Of life, placed in the
mouth of each one a drop of brandy di-
luted with an equal amount of water.
These | returned to the bowl, and paid
no further attention to them until six
hours afterward. then noticed that the
two which had received the tonic showed
a marked improvement, and were swim
ming on their sides nearly at the top of
the water. l then changed the water
and administered the same amount of
brandy as before. On the following
morning, thirteen hours after the first
administration of brandy and seven hours
after the second dose, the two fish in
question were apparently fully restored,
and were swimming naturally and ac-
lively about the bowl. The restoration
