Betrayed by His Parrot

Detectives obtain their hints and
clews from many sources, but it is not
often, the Paris correspondent OF the
London Daily Telegraph remarks, that
they receive them through the instru-
mentality OF parrots; yet this Is just
what has happened during the re-
searches OF NJ. Goron, the head OF the
Paris Criminal Department. This Of
flcer has been lately looking for the
chief accountant OF the "Catusse
Band" fellow named Victor Cheva-
lier, and. going the other day into the
rooms OF notorious receiver OF stolen
goods in Paris, he heard himself ad-
dressed in harsh tones as ''Good old
Victor? there you are" This was
enough for the detective, who having
silently satisfied himself that the To-
quacious bird was the property OF the
man for whom he was looking. pro-
ceeded to search the receivers den for
indications OF more substantial char
acter After long and minute inves-
tigation OF the premises, he found a
letter from Victor to the receiver. in
which epistle the robber announced
that he was ih Anglers under the name
OF Felix Crozet M. Goron immedi-
ately set out for that town, and arrest
cd the owner Of the too voluble parrot
in the railway station.

The Antiquity of Man.

With regard TO the discoveries on
the slopes OF the Sierra de Man aqua,
DIR. Flint considers that the human
bones prove indlsputably the existence
OF man In Pliocene times. Still we
must recollect that In such an active
volcanic region as Nicaragua: with its
hot and moist climate, sudden up
heavals and subsidences may be ex-
pected TO have occurred. while the
rich tropical vegetation would rapidly
repair the ravages caused by the most
devastating eruptions. The footprints
themselves tell us little as regards
their antiquity. As before mentioned,
they present no evidence OF belonging
to an inferior type OF man. while the
sandal-shod footprint indicates GER
tain advance in civilization, since a
man who wears shoes at all can hard
ly belong to the earliest stage OF hu-
man culture. Considering all the cir
cumstances, therefore. 1t will, per-
haps. be wisest to adopt DIR. Brinton's
cautious conclusion, that there Is not
sufficient evidence TO remove these re-
mains further back than the present
Post-Pliocene or Quaternary period. :

or the great crab family, one OF the
largest and most remarkable speci-
mems is to be found in Japan, where
1t is highly esteemed as an article OF
food. Mr.. Holder tells us about it.
Its chief claws are each five feet In
length. measuring from ten to twelve
feet between the nippers, and present
ing an astonishing spectacle when en-
tangled IN the nets and hauled aboard
the boats. The body is almost tri-
angular, and comparatively small.
They have the remarkable habit OF
leaving the water at night and crawl
ling up tho shores OF the coast, pre-
sumnbly TO feed, and there they are
sought by the crab-hunters. A story
is told OF q party of fishermen who
had camped out on tho river bank,
and one OF whom aroused the 9TH
ers in the night by yells and screams.
Running to the spot they found that
one OF these monster crabs, in wander
ing over the flats, accidentally crawled
over the PROSTATE fisherman. He
awoke with the great claws moving
about him, and it would be hard to tell
whether the man or the crab was the
more terrified.
But the robber-crab OF the Indian
Ocean surpasses the Japanese crab In
strength. 1t is called the palm-crab,
because It lives in the cocoanut groves,
making its nest in n hole under the
tree. It subsists upon the fruit, tear
ing the husk from the nuts with its
claws and carrying 1t to its bed as q
lining. The Malays often pillage the
crabs nests and get the shreds OF husS
TO calk their vessels or for the manu-
facture OF mats and other articles.
These crabs are very intelligent, for
they always open the ends OF the nut
that contains the eye-spots and ham
mer away at the eyes until an opening
Is made Sometimes one will secure
so firm hold upon a nut with its large
claw that it can dash 1t against rock
until the shell is broken. en.-Chicagc

The Chiclkasaw maidens are fair to
look upon. They are OF the Castilian
type of beauty. They are tall, grace
full, with languishing black eyes and
an abundance of black hair. They
dress tastefully and all, or nearly all,
are fairly educated.
Chickasaw citizenship is worth ut q
moderate estimate $4,000. There are
now about 5000 Chichasaws by blood
and marriage. II Chickasaw lands
we're divided up each man, woman and
child in the Nation would be entitled to
about 750 acres.
Formerly the marriage laws were
loose and a smart follow coming into
the Nation could get married in u
week at an expense OF Sl.5O for a
license fee. This law was so badly
abused that the Legislature some
years ago amended II, and now q
citizen OF the United States must re-
side in the Nation two years, produce
a good moral character, be vouched
for by three Chickasaws in good
standing and pay license fec OF 800
before he can marry in q manner TO
qualify him for citizenship.
The National party favors inereas-
ing the marriage license fee to 800
and putting greater restrictions on the
applicant for matrimony. This Is not
advocated In any narrow spirit, but in
the interest Of good citizenship. 1t is
fact that the refuse OF Texas, Mis-
souri, and Kansas is dumping itself in
here. The National party is opposed
to n cheap and rowdy citizenship or
tolerated population. 1t believes that
by increasing the fees and strictly en-
forcing tho laws only good men would
want TO marry or do business In the
Nation. Louis Republic.
