Ddmontier was no mean swordsman and was

succeeded in piercing his arm. The surgeon at

Strangers of Paris.

The inhabitants of the eastern districts
Of Paris. north and south of the Seine,
are being subjected to a most disagree
able terrorism Just now. A band OF
strangers, under the leadership oil a man
called "The Biscuit" have within the
last ten days committed several most
atrocious crimes. The plan of campaign
is for party of three to await likely
foot passengers in lonely streets; two OF
the strangers run behind and throw a
loop of leather over the head OF their
victim. and while choking him into
silence the third miscreant robs him OF
all he has worth robbing. Several per-
sons have narrowly escaped death, and
the police have hitherto failed to make
any arrests. The public is consequently
in a state of anxiety, and there is an out
CRY against the ineficiency Of the guardi-
ans of the peace. Partly in consequence
OF this outcry, and because of the large
number of mysterious murders recently
committed, the Prefect OF the Seine has
received instructions to augment his force
by 300 men. But an ingenious gun
smith has already taken an even more
practical step toward avoiding the un'
pleasant results of the strangers moose
He has invented a really becomlng-a'
the same time useful-cravat, composed
Of fine ana delicately-woven plates oil
copper, covered with silk Of any color
or combination. It is about an inch and
a half in width, and is worn outside the
collar. No matter how tight the loops
may be drawn by the thugs, the pressure
can never be sufficiently tight to choke
the wearcr Of such collar. The voice
and breathing apparatus have free play,
and while struggling with the strangler
their victim can, therefore, cry for help

Salmon cauakt in Wheels

A novel mode of taking salmon is by
means of wheels. The wheels thus used
are very similar in appearance and con-
struction to those of stern wheel river
steamers, and they are the cheapest and
most effective methods yet devised for
catching their fnny prey.
The wheel consists of nine arms at
tached to an iron shaft, and these arms
are strongly netted in groups of threes
at their outmost ends. The shaft is sur
rounded by cone of wood, whose face
or widest part is on the port side. The
narrow part of the cone, or its apex, Is
at the end of a wooden trough. The
wheel is pivoted on a gallows frame, and
can be raised or lowered out of and into
the water at will by means of block and
tackle.
The papdlewheel method Of fishing can
II
only be employed in the rapids of the
river. When in use the wheel is sub
merged about one-third of its diameter,
and is slowly revolved by the action OF
the water. The salmon encounters the
wheels in swimming up stream, and are
by them lifted out of the water, thrown
against these cones and thence slide into
the troughs, down which they glide into
the receptacles prepared for them. In
the height of good season we'll
located wheel will frequently catch from
six to fifteen tons of salmon in twenty
four hours. Mail and Express.

How 10 Select Bananas.

A steamer steward interviewed by the
st. Louis Globe -DsmOcrat says; "Not
one fruit dealer in a hundred, unless he
has been brought up in the far South,
knows how to select bananas when pur-
chasing them by the bunch. It's very
simple thing. Look at the thick end Of
the branch on which the bananas hang.
If it is green the bananas will ripen
slowly and lusciouslY and will be of good
favor. If the end of the branch is black
ths bananas themselves will blacken af-
ter day or two and will ripen too fast
aud rot. Even if they are plucked the
day after they are bought, and eaten,
they will be mushy and the flavor will
not be good.

The Prince and the Sentinel.

The Paris Petite Press tells funny story
about the young Prince Royal Of Greece.
A year ago this young man was engaged
to the Princess Imperial of Germany and
Immediately set out on his sparkling ex-
pedition. The young lady lived in the
Palace of Potsdam, and the Prince used to
90 there frequently from Berlin. At
fist he made stated visits and was taken
in a carriage from the railway station to
the palace But one day he took 1t into
his head to pay an informal visit.
Dressed in plain civilian clothes he
boarded the train, and on arriving at the
railway station took the first vehicle he
could hire. When he reached the palace
a sentinel was of course at the gate.
"Wer dal" growled the big Prussian.
"Tis l." said the Prince, "the Crown
Prince of Greece and the fance of the
Princess. Let me pass"
"You are nice looking Prince Royal,
YOU are And a Princess masher, ehf
Get awayw
The Prince insisted and got angry.
The soldier thought he was poor
crank. and tried to bring him to his
senses. "Now, my fine fellow" said
he. "don't make fuss. You can talk
as much as you please, but know my
business. A Prince, my boy, always has
fine uniform, with cooked hat and
feathers and a bushel of decorations.
Oh, I saw our Fritz, and you can't fool
me. Now, go away"
Noticing a lackey, the Prince beckoned
to him, and, after scribbling few lines
on the back of the card, told him to
take it to the Empress. The lackey
went off on his errand. The sentinel
qrinned. A crazy man might fool a
lackey, but an old soldier wasn't to be
taken in. But what was his astonish-
ment when he saw tue Princess coming
to meet the poor crank and welcoming
him in the most affectionate manner.
Then she took him into the palace.
"Well, 1 swami" exclaimed the senti-
mel. '1fa beggar man comes up to me
the next time I'm on guard and tells me
he's the Pope I'll kneel down and get his
blessing"

found which some writers think would be
advantageous in civilized society. It cer-
tainly appears advantageous for these ma
tives to live thus together, for the men
are much exposed to accident on hunting
trips, and if any Of them becomes the VIC
tim of some deadly peril the family ne
cared for is the common charge and is
saved from physical suffering.
The average population in each house
was thirty-two persons. On the west
coast, however, each house in all the
Danish trading places contains only one
family. This Is probably due, in part,
to the fact that they are not willing to
share with other families articles of Eu-
ropean origin, while with the well-known
hospitality of the Eskimo they share with
others all the products of the chase. In
the districts of Julianehaab and Fred
erikshaab there are on an average only
seven persons to house, but further
north, upon the west coast the average
number of inmates to house is ten.

them, when they happen to meet in one
