phia Times, will be placed before the
long-enduriag public in this city short

machine. The machine is unique
one that Will probably be greatly

form of large square box, mounted
on hollow pedestal. On the front

a distance of three feet from the ma

With his left hand he drops a penny
in the slot and remains motionless for
1--WE seconds, when the sound of a bell
announces that the impression is COM

ished photograph, on a metal plate,
drops through the delivery hole on to
q small shelf and the process is COM

He Got HIS $4,000.

Mr. William H. shupe the gentleman who
recently. won s15 1000 in the drawing of The
Louisiana State Lottery Company, was
visitor to our sanctum on Tuesday. Mr..
Shupe informed us that ne had received the

hinsah For all of which he feels thank ul.
He has been investing in The Louisiana
State Lottery Company for twenty five
months past, and previous to drawing the

Exploring Northern Mexico.

''After completing my lecture tour
going as far west as San Franc isco-
am off" said DR.. Carl Lumholtz the
other day, 'son an entirely new scien-
tiic expedition to northern Mexico,
under the auspices of the New York
Geographical Society. The exploring
party will comprise fourteen men, in
Guiding four American scientists.
They will cover botany, zoology,
mineralogy and archaeology. My work
will be to study the natives. We shall
also thoroughly investigate the ruins
and cliff dwellings. The territory
covered will embrace southern
Arizona and the region far to the
southwark. This is a country that,
am given to understand, has never yet
been scientifically explored. We con-
fdently expect to make many import
ant discoveries during the two years
which we shall devote exclusively to
the expedition. New York Tribune.

Horses in Battle.

An officer of experience, writing on
the behavior of horses In battle, says:
''When it comes to battle horse
seems to know everything that is 60
ing on; but he does his duty nobly
and seems to be in his element. He
enters into the spirit of the battle like
human being. He shows no fear OF
death, and it is singular that if his
mate is shot down he will turn to look
at him and seem pleased. A horse in
my battery was once struck by piece
of shell which split his skull so lat
one side was loose. The driver turned
him loose, but he walked up by the
side of the gun and watched the firing,
and when a shot was fired would look
away in the direction of the enemy as
If to see the effect of the shot. When
a shell would burst near by he would
calmly turn and look at il. When he
saw his own team going back for am
munition he ran back to his own place
and galloped back to the caisson with
the rest When the lieutenant pushed
him aside to put in another horse, he
looked at the other one sorrowfully
while he was being harnessed up, and
when he seemed to realize that there
was no further use for him he day down
and died. The lieutenant strongly as
serted that he died OF a broken heart.

A Joke on Henry George.

When Henry George first began to
speak in public in California he was
inclined to be long -winded. He once
delivered the better part Of 17-col-
umn GRAFTON at a Fourth of July cele-
bration He began his Grafton late
in the afternoon. After he had spoken
for an hour or SO the gallery began
to manifest unmistakble signs of i'm
patience. The orator deemed it time
ly to skip a hundred pages and con-
clude with the peroration. This was
deftly done, and then, getting fresh
wind, he began:
GA thousand years hence who will
fight for liberty?" ...
"a thousand years hence who will
write for iberty?"
"a thousand years hence who will
speak for liberty?"
Thepause at the last liberty inspir-
ing interrogatory was broken by a
voice in the gallery, which rang thus
through the theater:
''Who will? Henry GeorgeE'
There was an explosion of laughter.
Tie merriment spread to the stage,
and in the midst OF it Henry George
folded his papers and silently stole

Do Alligators Swallow Stones?

The Indians on the banks of the
Orinoco river, South America, assert
that an alligator, previous to going in
search of,prey, always swallows a
large stone that it may acquire addi-
tional weight to aid it in dragging it's
prey under water. Bolivar, the, trav-
eler, related this to a companion, who
was somewhat inclined to disbelieve
it. To. prove that there was really,
something in the stories related by the
Indians, Bolivar shot several while in
the presence of his friend, and in all
of them rocks were found weighing
according to the size Of the ssgator y
One immense fellow, over seventeen
feet long, had a stone in his S tomach
large as, one man could lift.

The Fascination of Smoking.

s'After all, the fascination of a cigar
lies in the'fact that a man can see the
smoke curve in the air." remarked an
indianapolis tobacconist. s'Did you
ever stop to think that you seldom see
blind man smoking? There is only
one in this city that I know of who has
formed the habit, and that is Luke
Walpole. ).
Sand then. you hear men say: A
cigar is such comfort TO me when I'm
alone, for it keeps me company. ;
Well;'.it isn't the%cigar that occupies
his time, but the fantastic designs that
the smoke assumes. Let a smoker
shut his eyes and he will throw his
cigar away: No, the consolation that
q cigar brings is more through the
sight than the taste. ,

The man went out and brought

the money was handed over. Three
days later the teller dropped in for
lunch at the new restaurant. He had

and said:

VALUABLE TOBACCO.
Americans Don't Smoke the Best

Americans Don't Smoke the Best
Cigars, But They Think. They do.
The leaf Of the Vuelta Abaio dis
trrct, says the Pittsburg Dispatch, is
more valuable than the leaf Of the
Partido district and by experts and
connoisseurs the former is without the
possibility of dispute conceded the
palm for flavor and aroma; yet fully 70
per cent Of the cigars imported into
the United States are made of Partido
tobacco and the national taste is un-
doubleday for it. This is the more
curious, as in buying cigars at retail it
simply means that the bulk of our
smokers pay the same price for the
second grade of Havana tobacco as
they would if they bought the first
grade. the price of Partido cigars in
Cuba being only a little more than half
that charged for the same sized cigar
from a fine Vuelta factory.
Among the curious points not gener-
ally known regarding the Vuelta leaf is
co in the world. so far as it is known, of
which cigar can be lit, allowed to go
out, remain out for several hours and
then be relit with no preceptable loss of
fragrance or added rankness of flavor
1t has been repeatedly asserted that
this is the case with any fine cigar,
but this is an error. Neither Partido,
Remedies, Yara, Manila nor our
common domestic leaf can be
lit a second time without suffering
decrease of quality and an obnoxious
increase of flavor, which to say the
least of it is not pleasant. The reason
for this is to be found in the compo-
sition of the leaf. The Vuelta is a
dryer, duller looking leaf as rule,
and the Partido brighter glossier
leaf, and more elastic, these qualities
making it more attractive to the eye,
and are due to an increased proper
ton of gummy matter and juice.

Dignity Without Fun,

Topreside over the senate is one of
the least profitable and least inter-
esting occupations public man can
have, especially when he has not the
right to vote, but only to sit as
figure head-a symbol OF authority.
The dignity ofthe position, of course,
makes it one that most any American
citizen would be glad to occupy, but
it is seldom the desire of either the
vice president or the president pro
tenn. to occupy the chair at all times
during the session. For instance, if
a speech is to be delivered by some
gentleman who prolongs the interest
of his topic in diluted quantities
through many hours, the presiding
officer has nothing to do but to sit
in the chair and try to appear to pay
attention and to keep himself from
going to sleep.
Ingalls,, tits said, used to stick pins
in his legs now and then on such oc-
casions when he felt himself getting
drowsy. 1t is customary, however,
when anything particularly dreary
is to occupy the senate, for the pre-
siding officer to call upon some mem
Der to act as his substitute in the
chair The older men understand
very we'll that they are being made a
convenience of when called to preside
in this way, and they are not usually
fattered by the distinction, but the
new senator is apt to be ready vic
tim for the sacritice.-Cor. Philadel,

A SINGING RIVER.
Fish Which Make Music as Sweet
80 - as the StrairS af -

3 49, ~ WfltiCh Niake MUSIC as Sweet
as the Strains OF a Harp.
A hundred miles east Of New Orleans
on the Mississippi coast, is the town
of East Pascagoula, or Scranton. AT
the mouth Of the Pascagoula river
! For 200 years the Pascagoula has bee d
noted for giving forth strange musical
sounds near its mouth at the gulf.
Charles p. Chidsey writes of them in
the Popular Science Monthly.
He says in 1875 an old fisherman At
Scranton called him one evening To
come to the river bank and "hear the
spirits singing under the water From
che bosom of the waters came a mur-
mrurlng sound, first rising in crescendo.
then dying away dilninuendo. Again.
some years after, he was leaning idlv
over an old wharf on the edge Of the
Rascagoula, when he suddenly heard .
sound like the rushing and ROARING If
mighty wind. He supposed it was
the WIND from storm that could be
seen on the gulf. But a lady with him
said: s'Ihat is not the storm you hear.
! put The mysterious music''
So gain there are times when fisher
men m are on the water at night when
the music can be heard distinctly in
sounds inexpressibly sweet and plain
tive, like an ;eolian harp. A sudden
splash Or noise will cause it to cease,
but when silence supervenes it begins
again, soft and murmurous.
What causes it? It is pity to de-
:stroy a romantic mystery, but the
music music IS probably made by thousands
of fishes of a kind called the ssdrum.''
from the power to produce this sound.
1t IS made by the sudden passage of air
from one. compartment of the fsh's
air bladder to another. None the less
wonderful, for all that, is the soft
aeolian strain. that rises of a summer
might from the moonlit waters of Pasca-
goula.

Something About Bee Shines,

A correspondent wished to know of
the Practical Farmer whether bee can
live and do work after it has stung a.
person. leaving its sting; or if it dies,
las is generally believed by many per-
sons who keep bees. Up to within the
past ten years nearly everyone be-
lleved that a bee which had stung any
one must surely die, for in leaving the
sting, as the honey bee nearly always
does in singing an animal, a part Of
the intestines was supposed to be left
with the sting, poison sac, ETC., from
which it was argued that the bee could
not live. This seemed so reasonable,
says the editor, that I formerly be-
lieved that the idea which prevailed
was true till one day after u bee had
-stung me, leaving its sting, it came to
the attack again and again, with all
the fury and vengence possible for a
bee to work itself up to, getting in
my hair and. singing away as only an
angry bee can sing, which will make
the cold chills run up and down the
back of the most hardened individual
. As this bee apparently had no thought
of dying, it was caught and Gagged with
two or three others and kept a week or
so to see what would become of the
matter. Atthe end o., the week it was
apparently just as lively and healthy
as any ofthe rest, when all of the bees
were set at liberty.

seasons of the year do the farmers
much damage. The boys however,
set traps, catch the woodchucks cut
off their tails, and let the animals go
that they may rear their young.
Some of the farmers say that unless
the bounty business is stopped the
town will be overrun with" chukcs.''
An effort will be made at the next
meeting of the town board to repeal
