BUTTE, April 3O.-The unruly element

work for the "dandy coppers" that patrol

Sallie was fighting with another frail

Harry Rodgers tanked up on bad lands

him to the station. Two complaints are
entered against the bold Henry, drunk
and disordcrly and disturbing the peace.
Charley Brown and Charley Hess got
into n row Mt the Boar of Trade saloon

quarrel arose about some fare checks.
Brown was locked up and Hess gave

A FiSh's MudhOuse.

Africa is the home of many extraordin.
ary animals, but there is no more re-
markable creature than the mudfsh,
which inhabits certain of the rivers of
Western Africa. One of these fish can be
seen at the London Geological Gardens.
At first sight there is nothing striking
about this animal; it looks very much
like an ordinary fish, except for its
curious, long, slender fins.
When the fishes arrived each one was
incased in ball of dried mud, lined with
mucus from its body and perforated by a
small aperture to admit of breathing.
This cocoon" as 1t is sometimes
called on account of its analogy to the
earthen case fabricated by many cater
pillars in which to undergo their meta
morphoses, on being placed in warmish
water was dissolved, and the fish lib
Grated.
The habit which the mudfsh has of
making an earthen chamber of the mud
at the bottom of the river is a most won
derful provision of Nature for the exigen-
cies of the climate. Therivers which the
fish inhabits are liable to periodical
droughts. When such a drought is
imminent the fish retires to deep water
and excavates pit, in which it lies, COW
ering itself over with a thick layer of
mud.
1t can suffer with impunity the COM
plete drying mp of the river. But the
most interesting fact about the creature
is that during the time of its voluntary
imprisonment it breathes air directly
through an aperture left in the cocoon,
by means of lungs, just like land ami
NAL. When the returning rains dissolve
the mud and liberate the fish, it breathes
by means of gills, jr5tlike any other fish.

Catching Rattlesnakes for Oil.

There are places in South Georgia
where men extract oil from the rattle
snake and use it to cure rheumatism.
These persons will give a colored man 81
TO point out a Tattlesnake TO them, and
then they kill it in peculiar manner.
They place forked stick over the snakes
head, then put a cord around it and
strangle the snake. This is done to keep
the snake from biting itself. The body
of the reptile is then strung up and the
oil extracted from it, Il sells at 50 per
ounce, aud this industry is a very profit
able one. The snakes in that section are
very large, averaging five feet in length,
and one rattler gives up great deal of
oil. A little negro boy once saw two
rattlers lying close together, and wanted
10 get the money for finding them. 1t
was mile TO the nearest house. He was
afraid the snakes would crawl off while
he was gone, and so took off his coat and
placed it between the two snakes. He
went off, came back, and found them
still eyeing the coat. He had them
charmed. So the snake is cultivated
down there as a profitable industry

The Chicago Post is firmly of the
opinion that "there is good deal of the
natural savage still remaining in the civ
ilized man because word comes from
Liberia of a white missionary who con-
cluded that he would rather initiate the
savages he had been sent to convert than
to Christianize them. He has accord
ingly abandoned the ways of civilized
life, and is living with the natives in
their wild state. His fellow missionaries
are profoundly astonished, but civiliza-
tion has many irksome restraints, and a
savage life may have many substantial
advantages"

Ciphers Easy to Read.

Communications in cipher are not so
secret as many persons suppose. Moth
ing has amazed the London Times people
moro than the discovery of the secret
cipher with which they communicated
with George Kirby in America when Mr..
Kirby was engaged in negotiating with
Sheridan. 1t was an alphabetical cipher,
and was so very cleverly constructed that
1t seemed to defy detection. But Labou-
chere once declared that he would un-
ravel any cipher that was put before him,
and Archbishop Walsh is quite as clever
at this kind of thing, it would seem, as
Mr.. Labouchere. Ciphers, in fact, are
not very difficult to detect. On one Lon
don paper, for example, every advertise
ment which goes in in cipher is read be-
fore it appears, and the work is not, as a
rule, found to be very difficult. There
is sometimes great amusement in the un-
rayeling of these presumably secret
methods of communication .-Net0 York

RATES OF ApVERrIsINa.
DIVIDED.

II thou vert by my side, dear love,
And could walk with thee,
The path unto the mountain crest,
No toll would seem to me,
But now my feet walk wearily
And heavy are mine eyes,
And dread and dark the winding way,
That leadeth to the skies.
Yet il thou vert beside me, love,
My hand within thine own,
Perchance my weight would hold thee back
Tho thou canst win alone.
Thou mightest stumble, following me;
Or, lettering by the way, ~
Seeking the sweets and flowers, my feet j.,
Might tempt thine own to stray.
But now by different paths, my love,
We seek the self-same goal,
So far apart no check am 1,
No hindrance to thy soul,
And tho my heart doth ache for thee
My lips for thy lips long,
see thee toiling upward still,
And hush my pain with song.
And when upon the mountain crest,
We stand where souls are free,
The bliss that doth elude us now,
Must come to thee and me.
Not one brief thrill of joy, of pain
One smile, in tears to end,
But an eternal crown of love,
When soul with soul shall blend.

The reports of the crops in England
indicate that that country will require all
the breadstuffs the United States can
send this year. British crops, the
American CultiUdtor declares, are largely
injured by continued wet weather and
cold, blighting winds. The unusual
moisture has flowed fields, rotted hay
and mildewed wheat. Nothing is ripen-
ing under the deluge of rain. Every
year seems to make English farmers more
despondent than ever, with less pros
pect of profits. In fact, the absence of
summer is an injury to all trades as well
as agriculture.

The art of flying is not making any
encouraging advancement, is the verdict
of the Chicago HerdH. Somebody in.
vents flying machine now and then,
but it always proves to be a failure.
Perhaps the nearest approach to success
has been attained by German in Phila-
delphia, the home of Keely, the motor
man. He weighs $50 pounds and can
raise himself into the air with the aid of
a counter weight of eighty pounds. Yet
this is to say that only fifty per cent. OF
him is able to fly, and that is only half
enough for successful flying. If this is
the best that can be done the birds of
the air are never likely to have any
human imitators.
