A BROOKLYN writer says that among the curious apparitions that people saw in travelling along Bedford avenue last Sunday afternoon was Chinaman in store clothes and eyeglasses riding down the street on bicycle. Yet they claim that the heather are slow to adopt the ways of civilization.
 IN routing big cypress tree near As tor, Fla, living alligator seven feet long was found therein. As tho opening in tho tree was not half large enough for the gator to get through. the pre- sumption is that it crawlcd in when quite young and lived on other animals and reptiles that soughtNfugc there.
 A "snoE SOCIAL" is ono of the amuse- ments of Rich Hill, Mo. All tho girls go behind screen and stick the toes of their shoes out underneath it's lower edge. Tho young men may select their partners by chalking their initials on the tempting shoes. At a recent party some of the boys charged that their best girls gave other boys tips on toes.
 A BIcYcLIsT, whose identity concerns no one, was riding his wheel through a portion of Franco when up came storm of rain. The storm struck him just a he started to coast down nicely graded hill some five miles long. He proceeded on his journey and all the way down that hill it rained on his hind wheel, while the front wheel ran along in the dry.
 JAMES KEITH, of Caldwell, Tex, has probably tho longest beard in tho world He wears it plaited and done up in silk cloth under his shirt-front. When unbraided and combcd out, it not only reaches the floor, but sweeps back near ly two feet. It is little more than seven feet in length. This wonderful be I'd IS the result of twelve years growth.
 THOMAS ADDISON, of Fairfax County. Va, took from the hoof of an old family COW tho other day, it is related, "a handsome gold finger ring with large green stone setting" On tho seal was engraved Mexican coat of arms, and on the inside was the name of D. J. Hunt and Mexican cipher, and dated, showing the ring to have been in the Mexican war. How it got on his farm and in the hoof of the COW Mir. Addison does not know.
 A CHATTANOOGA lawyer has peculiar views of the duties of policemen. He wrote to Cincinnati for information about his missing son. He wants the police r. l.. situation in some lawyers office, the boy being good stenograpber. The salary must not be less than ten dollars q week. More than that the officer is tc see that the boy pays his board and be- hayes himself, and is then to report the lads progress to his father.
 AN omnibus driver ono. day found . little rat in the hayloft. As it was g piebald color he spared it's life and took it home.

CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Fresh Ranch Butter from the ranch of II White atwolcotts Cash Store. s-7n

SOME persons who have been 70 un- relenting in their abuse of the powers which created the act which tied up the county funds are now turning their attention to the powers which united them. Every county in the Territory which was affected similarly to Cochise, used its influence and the county's credit to aid the passage of the bill and under which the warrants are now being drawn and money paid The total cost to Go chise was $45O The amount of money turned out of the treasury vaults during the past three days was about $25.0OO which was honestly owed to the citizens of the county. Under the bill, sixteen thousand dollars of last years warrants have been paid, stopping the inter est which would have amounted tO $16OO at the end of year had they not been taken up. Ten thousand dollars worth of bills owed tc the mer- chants and others, have been paid which had it not been for bill IS, which cost $450 of the peoples money to enact, would not have been paid until our courts had decided the legality of paying them at an ex- pence to the people of twice $45O County warrants before the passage of bill IS, were not worth 80 cents or the dollar, today you can get their fact value for them without trying. I $450 was too much to pay for these benefits, tben indeed are the people hard to please.

 MONSIEUR EIrFEn has invented form of bridge, capable of being used "ithcr ' times of peace or war, for temporary as well as permanent service. It is cer- -4.nly a great improvement on the wooden pontoons and structures now employed by engineers. It is composed wholly of pieces of steel, which can be easily put together and can be erected without machinery, and by unsllilled labor. M. Eiffel made test bridge in less than seventy hours, one hundred and forty-seven feet long, weighing in all eighty-six tons, and capable of bear. ir,s Q burden of over two hundred tons In fact it could carry railway train with troops, or with military stores or lerchandise,
