He Shot Centipede Off His Toe.

Tombstone Epitaph.
A company of immigrants had camped
in New Mexico and one night one of the
party who was sleeping on the ground was
awakened by peculiar sensation on his
toes. He looked and saw an enormous
centipede crawling across his foot. Only a
few feet from him was the camp fire, and
he could see every fiber of the reptile.
Knowing its peculiarities and the effect of
its sting, he was in a fever of excitement.
Afraid to move a muscle, he dared not at
tempt to shake it off. After a seconds
pause, he reached under his head, got his
pistol. and, taking deliberate aim, fired.
1t was life-Saving shot for the man.
The centipede divided and dropped on each
side of his foot. But here comes the most
remarkable part of the story. Within an
hour after the shot was fired the men heard
terrible groaning from one of their mules
tied only few yards away. They went to
them and found one of them with his left
fore leg swollen to an immense size. The
swelling increased. as did the agony and
groans of the brute, until it died in about
thirty minutes thereafter. An examination
was made. and it was discovered that the
bullet that had severed the centipede had
entered the mules foot just above the hoof
and innoculated it with the poison from the
reptile.

THE QUEENS NAME.
How Britain's Victoria Narrowly
Escaped Being Queen and Empress
AIexandrina.

How BritainsS Victoria Narrowly
Escaped Being Queen and Empress
AIexandrina.
London World.
Considering the strained relati ons" with
Russia which have marked the whole course
of the queens reign, it is remarkable that
her first name. Alexandria, should have
been conferred upon her in honor of the
then reigning car. of whom the Duke
of Kent was an admirer and who
was our faithful and close ally.
1t was in the Castlereagh period
OF our foreign policy. George ~. was to
have contributed another name, GeOrgi-
ana. But Georgiana Alexandria would
have deprived the emperor of the place of
precedence and Alexandrina GeOrgiana
would have derogated from the claims of
the name born by the actual king of En-
gland and all his Hanoverian predecessors.
The name of the queens mother was there
fore substituted for that of her uncle. In
the commencement of the christening OF
the newborn princess she was called Alex
andrina Victoire, but the second name was
speedily Anglicized or LatiniZed into
Victoria. A little before William Tvs
death there was some futter among
pcOpl0 DIS
which the queen eXpectant should be pro-
claimed and should reign, and Lord Camp
bell, then Sir Jonn Campbell and attorney
general, represents himself as having de-
cided this matter, in conjunction with
Charles Greville and Lord Lyndhurst, as
representing the opposition in favor of the
baptismal names for the proclamation, leav-
ing it to the queen to choose afterward the
name under which she should reign. Among
other absurd suggestions there was one that
she should be styled Elizabeth II. The as
sumption apparently was that her majesty
was always to remain maiden queen,
with perhaps Lord Melbourne for her
Leicester, Lord John Russell for her Essex,
and Sir John Campbell for her Sir Francis
Bacon! The fates happily have otherwise
determined. But it is curious to think that
but for chance or caprice or good sense we
might be now preparing for the jubilee, not
of Queen Victoria, but of Queen Alexan-
drina or Queen Georgiana-I put Queen
Elizabeth Ii. out of the question.

How Hawks and Owls Eat.

Atlanta constitution.
Capt. Tom Langston, who is one of At
lanta's most enthusiastic sportsmen. says:
Ibid you ever notice an owl or hawk pre-
pairing to make meal on a bird? The diff
ference is very great. A hawk will first
pick off all the feathers of the bird and
then tear it to pieces as it is deyoured. He
goes at it in very systematic and dainty
manner. Not so with ali owl. After kill
ing bird the owl swallows it whole,
feathers and all. He then sits quietly. and
in an hour or so you will see the owl move
his neck about as if he he was trying to I'M
tangle knot in it. Then he will sort of
hump up his back, lower his head. and the
next moment a ball of feathers will roll out
of his mouth. The operation shows that
the owl divests the bird of its feathers after
swallowing it while the hawk plucks out
every feather and quill before he takes a
bite"

A Story of Hon. James Cavanaugh.
Eield and EARN


Cavanaugh, after serving his term in
congress, came to Colorado. His fame as
lawyer and stump speaker preceded him,
and in 1882. when the Republican party
put in nomination for delegate to the ma
tional councils Hiram p. Bennett. the DEM
CcratS pitted jim Cavanaugh against him.
They were both rattlers On the talk. so
they decided to stump the territory together
and speak from the same rostrum. AT
times their sarcasm was cutting. 1t was
give and take. At Montgomery Jack
Langrishe had built theater, and when
the speakers arrived there he donated the
use Of the house. A rousing meeting was
out. Bennett made the opening speech,
and closed with some allusiOn to his oppo-
nent that brought down the house"
Cavanaugh rose to reply, but was COM
PEELED to wait until the tumult subsidized.
Just as this moment herd of pack lacks
had halted at the door. and they with one
voice set up most unearthiy braying.
Cavanaugh waited quietly for the asses to
get through. and then, with woe depicted
upon his cOuntenance, turned to his OPP
ponent and in a deprecating tone said: my
friend, would it not be more in keeping
with the rules of civility if but one of your
party spoke at time?"

that convicts of the Ohio Penitentiary

Rights In Public Roads.

The latest volume OF Pennsylvanit
reports Of Supreme Court decision,
contains an article Of moro than or
binary interest to the public. A cor
poration chartered under the act ol
1874 proposed to lay a pipe unde,
the public roads through the lands
of one Sterling in Washington coun-
ty. When the company approached
bis land he served notice upon it moi
to enter roads or land without first
making compensation. This the com.
pany declined to do. Sterling then
applied to the court asking that the
company be restrained 1t is upon
deciding this case that Justice Ster-
ritt says that a company incorporated
under the act of 1874 has no author
ity to lay its pipes under q public
road; that by appropriating lands for
a public highway the only servitude
imposed upon it is the right of the
public to construct and maintain
a roadway which shall, at all times,
be free and open for the public that
laying and maintaining q pipe line
under the road imposes An addition
al servitude on the land and sbridg-
es the right of the owner, and hence
It is taken within the meaning of the
Constitution, requiring just com
pensation to be made for property
taken, injured or destroyed and that
q court of equity VIII restrain pipe
line until compensation is made. The
fee in the land occupied by streets
remains in the owners of the lands
adjoining them, the public has the
mere right of passage over them. The
learned Judge intimates that there
are reasons why different rule to
some extent as to the streets and al
leys in cities and boroughs should
prevail, but declines to say how far
the different conditions would modify
the rule in this case.
Carried out to its logical conclu-
sion, a strict enforcement of the law
laid down in this decision will pre-
vent the laying of water, gas, or any
other pipe in the streets or alleys of
cities or towns, where the streets are
owned by the adjoining property
owners. If the occupancy of coun-
try roads by pipe lines can be re-
strained because such occupancy
would impose additional burdens on
the land, not contemplated either by
the owner or by the public suthori
ties when the land WAS appropriated,
then the occupancy of streets and al
leys can be restrained when eny of
the many pipe lines which have come
into existence during the last quarter
of a century proposes to use them.
The effect of this decision must be to
discourage the organization Of pipe
line companies.-Harrisburg Tele-
graph.
