more, perhaps. to the support of their

There are first, second and third class
cars. which vary in price from a real

first class coaches are about as comfort
able as the Broadway cars of New York.
The second class cars have small win

bench running lengthwise along either
wall. aud another without back down
the center. Third class cars carry freight

A New Industry In Russia.

The st. Petersburg correspondent OF
The North British Mail says that dur
ing the last few months a new indus
try has sprung up in Russia in the
form OF nicotine extract. This pro
duct not only finds sale in Russia.
but is already Exported in considerable
quantities. especially to South Amer
lea. The lees obtained, when prepar
ing the tobacco leaf, have been used
for long time for destroying para
sites on plants, and they have also been
found efficacious when applied as an
antidotc TO the various skin diseases to
which sheep are liable. 1t has now,
however, been discovered that this pro
duct affords remedy for another de
structive agent-namely the dry rot
among Sheppard last autumn the
Russian firm of Nikolai, Bogdanow x
Co. started works in Moscow for the
production of nicotine extract on a
large scale. Four to five pools
of common Machorka tobacco
yield only about one pood OF
the extract, but in such con,
centrated form that a teaspoonful
is sufficient for nearly two pints OF
water, and the works produce about
so pools of the extract perdiem. The
Russian government has decided to
exempt this product from excise duty.
Any other uses to which this nicotine
may be applied, although not difficult
to imagine, have not yet transpired.

Lock Out for short bills.

A local business man has lately been
twice made the victim of fraud that
is not common among crooks in the
green" On presenting money at
the bank for deposit, he has had S.
bills returned as worthless because
they were too short.
On examination it was found that a
section from one half of an inch to
one inch in width had been cut out OF
the bills, and that the remaining sec
tons had been pasted together. The
illusion was increased in u way that
its very simplicity was doubtless the
reason of its success.
The letters taken from the words
Omitted States" by the section cut out
were cradely reprinted with pen and
ink on the shortened greenback, and
in the majority of cases the holder
would not detect the fraud unless the
bill were measured or held up to the
light, when the junction of the two
parts could be plainly seen.
The bills thus mutilated had had in
one case the letters ted removed,
and in the others the letters "st.' The
object of the operator is finally to gel

bill, which by skillful FASTING could
be easily passed under ordinary cir
cumstances. Springfield Republican

The Turtles Shell His Castle.

One of the most amusing fights that
ever occurred in this neck of woods, and
which was witnessed by two hunters,
took place on the Warrior river between
a blacksnake and mud turtle. What
the casus bellum was is not known, but
the snake had wound itself around the
turtle, and was trying to make some i'm
preston on its back with its fangs.
The turtle took things good naturedly,
seemingly, and every once in a while
would poke out his head to see if the
snake was looking. Ii the snakes head
was too close the turtle would draw him.
self back into the shell, and if the head
was far enough away the turtle would
seize his antagonist, and when the snake
mad with pain, tried to revenge himself,
the turtle would go back in his shell
This strange warfare was kept up for
several hours, when the turtle succeeded
in getting his antagonist by the throat
and nearly severed the head from the
body. Then, with the snake still wran-
ped around it, the turtle reached the
water and the dead snake floated off an
the surface. The turtle had been vic
torious. Birmingham (Ala.) Cor. ST

Domestic Animals Of ancient FefuSh"s
Herr Nehring, speaking OF the do
nestle animals of the ancient Peru
yians. observed that the subject was
scientifically important. because all
the Other peoples Of ancient America
were very poor in this kind OF prop
erty as compared with the Peruvians
and Bolivians and some of the Central
American peoples; and. secondly, De
cause the influence of domestication
on the formation of races could be
better followed on these animals than
on those of the Old World. We are
concerned in Peru especially with the
dog, llama alpaca, and guinea pig.
The speaker had examined eighteen
dog mummies from ancient Peru wan
graves, and had determined that they
belonged 10 three different races-a
shepherds dog. dachshund, and a
bull dog or pug. He believed that
the "Inca dog was derived, not from
South American CANDIDA, but from
the Mexican wolf lupus occidental
lis), perhaps through the feebler
Texan variety; and that several
races had been formed from it in Peru
through domestication. In this Herr
Nehring dissents from and contradicts
Won Tschudi's opinion that the va
rites had arisen from crossing With
European dogs. As the dog and like.
wise the llama and alpaca are I'M
doubtedly of America, SO, also, in the
speakers opinion, is the guinea pig,
notwithstanding B. Hensel and other
authors believe that it was intro
duced from Europe. Popular Science
