WAS HIS NEW WIFE A WITCH.
The Old Man Thought So. but Was
Soon Quleted of His Fears.

The Old Man Thought So, but Was
Soon Quleted of His Fears.
Old man Bill BuGgs had for some
time been n widower for the second
time, says the Tallahassee Floridian.
He grew tired OF single cussedness,
and he is so ugly none OF the Talla-
nassee girls would have him. The old
man grew desperate, and advertised in
matrimonial paper OF Chicago for
wife. Ere long he received dainty
missive through the mail, 1t contain
ed the photo Of witching, black-eyed
maid who wanted a home and did not
require youth and beauty in a hus-
band.
1t did not take them long 10 fix up
matters, and now she is queen at the
old mans country residence. Bill was
delighted with his third draw in the
matrimonial lottery. She Is domestic
and quite handy about the house,
comely OF person, and OF naturally
happy disposition, but what worries
Bill is that she will not breathe n word
of who or what she was before be-
coming Mrs Buggs. The old man is
somewhat superstitious, is firm be-
lever in witches, ghosts, spirit rap
pings, ETC., and his wife's silence as to
herself tore him all up in mind.
The other night Bill awoke with a
start A shadowy form was fitting
around his couch, and in its outstretch-
ed hand was some vessel in which burn
ed ghostly blue flame. BY the light OF
the blue and mystic fire Bill saw that
the shadowy form was that of his new
wife. She was repe Iting in soft,
solemn tone words that Bill could not
understand. His heart thumped loud
ly against his ribs. He felt as if he
were shrinking smaller and smaller.
His eyes rolled and he tried to draw in
his head as would gopher. Was his
new wife a witch OF which he had
read so much? Was she working
some unearthly charm about him?
What was he to 40? The mystic
fire came nearer his face. Now it was
Immediately over his head. He
thought he saw a long blue tongue oI
flame leap downward as II to consume
his pent-up breath. He gave vent tC

screamed Mrs. Buggs almost as
frightened as he.

ouANTRKLL's BAND.


An Ex-Confederate's Account OF
the Guerrilla Chief and His Fol-
lowers.
1t is said that the guerrilla Chief
Quantrell wan originally mild-man-
nered and humane gentleman, says the
Florida Times Union. 1t is certain
that he was school teacher and very
good one. His brother was killed by
Kansas men and he became devil.
Bill Anderson was a slow-motioned,
quiet, modest country boy, His moth
er was whipped and his sisters ravish-
ed by federal soldiers and thereafter
he murdered all who fell into his pow
twenty-five in one squad were shot
by his gang. He literally gloated
over the murder of u blue coat. On
the first raid of Quantrell's band thirty
took part. Quantrell was captain;
Halter. Gregg, and Todd, lieutensnts;
John Cole and Jim Younger privates.
Bob was child at the time, for he was
born in 1854. Cole Younger names
Nov. 10, 1861, as the day he killed his
first man.
The gang was at its greatest strength
when it perpetrated the horrible
Lawrence massacre in August, 1868,
and many volunteered for that eXpedi-
ton alone. The vote was unanimous to
burn the town and kill every man in
sight and it was rigidly carried out.
The band carried small, square, black
nag, and in the center OF 1t, embroider-
ed by womau's hand, was the word
"Quantrell," many OF the gang bore
cruel scars, and Cole Younger had
around his neck deep purple mark.

up into an oak tree by some playful
Kansas Red Legs" When a question
came up as to sparing prisoner, II he
was a Kansas man Cole pointed silently
to that mark and the prisoners fate
was sealed. After the Lawrence
tragedy the band fell away rapidly.
The border counties Of Missouri were
depopulated and order was restored in
the rest; so the gang dissolved in the
far south. Quantrell died in Kentucky,
clasping the hand OF Sister OF Charity
and responding as long as able to her
prayers. The story goes that when
laid out for the grave fifty scars were
found on his body. OF the others,
Arthur Mccoy was shot dead in Texas
while resisting arrest Tim Read wa:
killed in the same state by sheriff,
Miller. Caldwell, and Pitts were killed
in the Mortified raid, when the
Youngers were captured. Jesse James

The Sciancn Of Pom Corn.

In what condition is the starchy in
terror OF the grain just before it ex-
plodes? The common experience OF
the kitchen and laundry will help US
here. In making the mixture for
stiffening clothes, the laundress puts
all know that in this process the
starch loses its powderly character and
becomes blended with the water into a
pasJy, translucent mass. The effect
upon the individual starch-granule is q
softening and considerable increase
of its bulk and, finally, its rupture
and diffusion through the water.
While we cannot see the inside OF the
grain at the critical moment when
it has all but burst, we may, in view
OF what we cow know, probably sur
mise the truth. 1t is not very likely
that, as the grain gets hotter and
hotter, and the moisture present in
the cells, or in the starch granules
themselves, softens them first, and
then, when the heat becomes too great
to permit its remaining in the fluid
state, it suddenly turns to steam, and
the now plastic starch expands in every
direction, forming the veSicles shown
in the figure, losing at the same time,
OF course, the moisture and thus be-
coming firm and brittle again? This
is the conclusion to which have been
brought, and | think Of wonderful phys

The Jinriksha for Newport.

Next season a novel mode OF
clancy transportation" is to be
introduced to the fashion lble world
of Newport. Every imaginable
style of vehicle has had its day at that
leading resort, save the ''jirnriksha,"
the japanese hanson, and now even
that is promised. People who have
visited Japan are enthusiastic in their
praise of this queer little carriage on
two wheels, drawn by a native, whose
elaborate harness consists OF huge
bowl-shaped hat and a havy-blue
gaberdine. This costume however,
would here be adapted TO western pro-
priety and climate, but the "jinriksha"
ought TO catch on, as it has done at the
Paris exhibition. The Parisians have
taken it to their hearts and gardens,
and it won't be long before Japan's
pet vehicle is seen travelling up an
around Bots de Boulogne. To kno W
how distractingly pretty young lady
can be in her 'jinrilksha" look at the

An African Delicaey.

Cannibalism still thrives between
Stanley Fails and Stanley Pool, among
the Bangalas, a muscular race of peo-
pie, who prefer an enemy on toast to
any other health food they know Of.
All these people when plundered by
neighboring tribes gladly join the
Arabs in their expeditions against
those marauders in order to gather in
enemies enough for mess. A victory
is always followed by general gorge
which even drives the Arab out of
camp to where he cannot smell the
odor OF cooking. This odor, instead
OF being at all pleasant or palatable,
Is rather like the sickening smell that
comes from an over-heated bathroom.
Possibly these details are not pleasing
to the sensitive reader, but they are
facts, and facts do not hurt any one
who is not up before the grand jury
with weak case. Bill Nye.

Brains aad Other Brains.

Studying the brain OF the lower ami

tions. With the functions OF the front

hind and in front OF one of the chief

Rolando. which runs downward and
foreward above the earl is known as
the motor region. In this region the
different centers have been mapped out
in the monkeys brain, and have been
verified in the brain OF man many
times. Most OF that part OF the brain
above and behind the ear has no special
functions that we know OF at present,
except one region, which Is the center
for sight. Injury to this produces
blindness OF the half of each retina on
the same side as the injury to the
brain. Bat it Is extremely difficult TO
obtain in the lower animals any evil
dence OF the special senses other than
that of touch, the abolition OF which
produces loss of feeling, OF which we
can get exact evidence. Motion and
sensation, therefore, are the two things
that can be most readily determined. -

A Country of Salt,

Everything in the country of the
Chat in Central Asia is described by
Gabriel Bouvalot as covered with
salt. It is seen in the walls of the
houses and on the banks of the riy-
ers and the water one drinks is very
salt. Travelling saltpeter makers go
in summer from place to place where
eyer they can find material to work
upon. Their mode of operation is a
rough-and-ready one. Holes in the
earth serve as watts and boilers, and
below these areplaced ovens. Abund-
ance of brushwood supplies material
for the fires. The workers collect
from the surface of the earth heaps
of compost of salt and animal man
ure This is soaked for twenty-four
hous in water, then filtered, and then
boiled for twenty-four hours, cleansed
and placed in the sun, so that
the water may evaporate. An or
d mary workman can make about
fifty pounds in day, and this he
pells at the rate of one penny a
sound.-Popular Science Monthly.
