They Are BY No Means Made Merely for
the Wind to Toy With.
South Boston News.
The long hairs on the side of a cats face are
organs of touch. They are attached to bed of
fine glands under the skin, and each of these
long hairs is connected with the nerves of the
lip, The slightest contact of these whiskers
with any surrounding object is thus felt most
distinctly by the animal, although the hairs
themselves aIe insensible. They stand out on
each side OF the lion as we'll as on the common
cat. From point to point they are equal to the
width Of the animals body. If we imagine
therefore, q lion stealing through covert of
wood in an imperfect light we shall at once see
the use Of these long hairs. They indicate to
him through the incest feeling any obstacle
which may present itself to the passage of his
body; they prevent the rustling Of boughs aud
leaves which would give warning to his prey if
he were TO attempt TO pass too close to a bush,
and thus in conjunction with the soft cushions
OF his feet and the far upon which he treads-
the claws never coming in contact with the
gIOund-tney enable him to move toward his
victim Nth stiffness even greater than that of
the snake which creeps along the grass and is

Alaska's Pest of Mosquitoes.

PlttsDurg Dlspatch
The greatest drawback to living in Alaska is
the mosquitoes. The soil is covered with low
moss in which they breed in the summer, and
under which they live in the winter 1t is wet
and can't be burned off to get rid of them. The
Jersey mosquito is no comparison to them
They are large and SMALL some being so little,
indeed, that they can penetrate even the smallest
bars of ordinary mosquito netting. White men
cover their faces and hands with towels, and tie
the trousers around the ankles to keep them
away from the body. The sting is painful and
they would soon worry the life out of anybody
unprotected Their numbers are countless, and
they swoop down upon you by the thousands.
The Indians smear their faces and hands with a
pitch pitch which gives them a b black appearance.

BIRD DOCTORS ON THE WING.
The Way Little Sparrow in Trouble Was
Cared for by His Fellows.
New York World.

New York World.
There was mass-meeting of little sparrows
in West Thirty-seventh street. near Sixth ave-
nue., yesterday at noon. There was a chairman
of the group. He didn't have chair, but he
presided over his fellows and what ne did they
did. There was great chattering and the big
brides gathered together on the curb and fitted
to and fro in the greatest excitement. On the
sidewalk lay tiny sparrow. He was on his
back, his eyes were closed, and he was appar
emily dead. He was the object of the gathering
of his fellows and they pecked at him and trod
on him, and, on the wing, dashed at him and in
every way possible tumbled him about.
tender-hearted lady passing by rushed up to
the feathered tribe and "shooed'' them away
with her muff and picked up the little one that
had apparently been badly battered. While she
was strokng him the birdie opened his eyes and,
turning quickly over on his feet, shook the dust
out of his eyes and before his would-be pro-
tector could say Jack Robinson flew to the near
est tree-top as if he was an arrow shot out of q
bow.
Straigntway all the other sparrows that had
been gazing from the branches of a neighbor-
ing tree upon what was going on between the
lady and their fellow birdie, fled toward the
little one, and then in grand chirping group
they all flew off together. The lady didn't
know what to make of it until birdman
smiled when he heard the story. 'My dear
madam" said he, ''what those sparrows don't
know there's no use learning. So you thought
| they were trying to kill their little companion?
Not a bit of it. He had become benumbed by
the cold, and probably was stunneda a little by a
| fall. When the policeman finds a man be-
numbed by the cold they club the soles Of his
| feet to circulate his blood and bring him to.
That's what those birds were doing. It's a
winter custom of theirs, warming their little
friend into life by their peckings and roughing
and tumbling him about"

THE REVOLT AGAINST PARNE1L

Said to he Largely Due to His Frigid Per-
sonality.
New York World.
"Parnell" said well-known local politician
yesterday 's reaping the results of his austerity
and exclusiveness. 1t is all we'll enough for
man to go through life with an air of such frigid
reserve that even his most devoted friends fail
to pierce it, and there is no doubt that states
men whose lives are passed in seclusion and
who treat even their intimate associates with
lofty disdaiu secure wonderful power over all
of their coufrGrcs. The man who is icy, cold,
austere, and shrewd makes far better leader
while his power lasts than the man who secures
the affection as well as the assistance of the
leading men Of his party. No man ever knew
Parnell to grow genial or warm over the work
of his able lieutenants. If after months of
heroic service in Jail William O'Brien hurried to
Parnell's side he was received frigidly and dis
and he sneered at the idea of magnetism in a
public leader No one questions his great and
conspicuous ability, his patriotism or devotion
to the Irish cause. But the men who have been
toiling side by side with him for many years are
not capable of blindly worshiping him always.
Men like Dillon, O'Brien, and Davitt have been
refused even a moments audience with the
leader of the party after travelling hundreds of
miles to see him. When the crisis in Mr.. Par
nell's life arrived he turned to his associates in
the Irish cause for support. Practically he COM
manded them to uphold him. Then came the
reaction. The memory of Sights and rebutfs
extending over period of many years was too
strong to be wiped away in day. Parnell
showed himself a poor Judge of human nature
in thinking that he could rely absolutely upon
his lieutenants when he gave them such mag
nifcent opportunity for taking their revenge"

LONDON, Aug. "A special CORE
spondent of the Daily News has sue
ceeded in obtaining admission to the
Turkish prison at Uskub, Macedonia, a
town of European Turkey. He found
that the building contained 149 cells,
which were occupied by 1871 prisoners,
or over IL to cell. As rule, the UNI
fortunate victims are sent there to be
confined from one to ten years each !;
but so great are their sufferings, arising
from the barbarity of their keepers and
the total disregard by the latter of all
sanitary laws, that one rarely outlives
five years. In one cell, two and half
yards square, the correspondent dis
covered nearly score of poor
wretches painting for air and starving
for food, having in the way of the latter
nothing but bread and water. The
greater number were stark naked and
chained by the ankle and wrist. AS if
the jailorS were unable to inflict tor
lures enough on their victims in the
dens already described, the correspond
ent found series of underground cells,
said to be reserved for the worst prison
ers, where, reeking in total darkness,
were those whom Turkish tyranny had
singled out for especial barbarity. In
order to force confessions where con-
LESSONS would have proved useful to
those in power, the aid of the ant is
called in. These insects are kept in
small boxes for the purpose. and fifteen
of them are placed at one time Oh the
body of the prisoner whom it is desired
to torture. 1t is also customary to chain
men all day in the scorching sun in such
a way that they are unable to move.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The agitation over
the Behring sea dispute has subsidized.
Great Britain, having declared her at
titude, is apparently not anxious to say
any more about the matter. The Times
asserts that "Behring sea, outside of
the three mile limit, is just as free to
all the world as the English channel or
the Mediterranean, and anyattempt to
restrict that freedom may be described
otherwise as uSurpation of we'll eStab-
llshed rights" So far as war and
rumors of war, nothing more is heard
or intimated, but the British squadron,
recently gathered at EsQuimalt, will
remain in the North Pacific, prepared
for such action as the American cruisers
may give occasion for. 1t is certain
that the Canadian sealers will be pro-
tected, as long as they keep three miles
away from American and Russian ter,
