QUEER QUADRUPEDS.

A KITTEN at Norfolk, Va has been trained
to drink milk through straw.
A RESIDENT of Washington, u. c., has an
animal which presents a curious ccmbina-
ton. Its father was a half Mexican hair
less dog and half rabbit, and its mother was
cat. Its hind feet are like dogs, with
the claws of a cat. Its skin is smooth, with
the exception of few hairs on its back,
and its face is like that of a cat, lacking,
however, the whiskers and eyebrows. Its
tail is long and pointed and is curled up by
the animals side.
CONNECTICUT coons have many peculiar
traits, but Meriden has perhaps the only
pair that are not prohibitionists. Their love
for beer is so strong that they will drink
nothing else. Like many other topers, they
are unable to realize when they have had
enough. They get boiling drunk at every
opportunity, and usually end their spree in
savage fights. Neither will drink beer
brewed in Connecticut. They drink New
York or Milwaukee beer.
A FARMER living a few miles east OF
Honey Grove, Tex, has q mule that is

stands six feet in his stockings standing by
the mules shoulders, just lacks two inches
Of being as high as the animal, and he
weighs in proportion to his height, tipping
the beam at 1,619 pounds.

Dastardly Murder.

HUTCHINSON, Kan, March 1.-Two
years ago Alexander McC.ardy, an inof-
fensive farmer living near ingalls,. had a
mi understanding with Allen Huff, since
which time the two had not met until yes
terday morning, when Huff appeared at
McClardy's house and at once opened fire
upon the unarmed farmer with Al
caliber revolver. The latter fell dead
at the first shot. Afterward the
murderer attempted to destroy all
traces of mis- crime by burning his victims
body, but in this he was frustrated by the
neighbors, who Immediately placed him
in custody. The clothing was all burned
off McClardy's body, which was
horribly mutiIated by fire. An armed
posse is guarding the Jail to keep the in
furated populace from lynching the

AT meeting of the Berlin Medical So.
ciety, Prof. Virchew introduced French
physician, DR.. Feldmann, who made some
experiments in hypnotsm. Ayoung man
named Garrick offered himself as a me-
dunn. After few seconds of the usual
manipulations the medium fell into deep
magnetic sleep. He became perfectly
apathetic and motionless. In his state OF
suggestion" DIR. Feidmann showed the
influence of various indictments on the
medium, who took quinine for sugar.
smacking his lips with enjoyment, and he
believed ammonia to be perfume and smelt
it for soma tims. Immediately afterward,
following the will Of the doctor, he
showed the usual abhorence OF these
bitter and caustic substances. With the
same success he ate a lemon for an apple.
A piece of camphor held on his forehead
had singular effect. Tie medium bent his
body far backward and had to be held
in his chair. A magnet caused dreamy
state during which the medium related his
impressions as to events on the street, in
which he believed himself to be. Then the
medium obeyed the will of the doctor in
various ways, shovelling snow, Skating,
falling and rising again with one jump, at
the doctors suggestion, and finally took
pocketbook by force out of Prof. Virchew's
pockets. He was then ordered by DIR.
Feldmann to reseat himself and soon
woke out of the hypnotic sleep, remsm-
bering nothing of what had happened

WAvERLY, Iowa, March 14-Judge Rud-
dick has granted temporary injunction
against the Burlington, Cedar Rapids g.
Northern Railroad Company and G. J.
Foshelmau, agent for the St Louis Brew
ing Company, restraining them from
bringing beer into Waverly. The COM
plainant was DR.. Bilbrook, q Methodist
minister. Foshelman took orders and
subsequently delivered the beer,
which arrived in carloads. The beer
remained ON the side tracks until
the beer was delivered. Foshelman held
that the sale was consummated in St
Louis. and the railroad argued that the
road was obliged to accept the beer, as it
would any other freight. The judge held
that the brewers had no right to have an
agent in Iowa, and that the sale was COM
pleted in Iowa and was illegal. He also
held that the railroad knowing how such
sales were made, should not have assisted
in them.
