A Stern Host.

There was society wedding recently
duly assisted at by the satisfied and ad-
miring relatives of the very youthful
too amusing to be carefully kept from
gossip's keen ears. 1t seems that on ac-
complishing the first stage of the we'd
ding journey halt was made at a
mountain hotel, the only one in the
small summer resort which it adorned
The pair descended from their carriage
but instead of a smiling landlord, eager
and hospitable, the host was serious and
stern eyed.
Ppm father myself he commented
to the astonished groom, when after
leaving his bride in the reception room
he had followed the landlord to the Office
to secure apartments, land no runaway
couples can be accommodated here.
advise You my boy, to take that young
girl home at once without an instant's
loss of time"
Indignant, the young husband pro-
tested, showing his card and giving his
home and credentials But the landlord
was not to be duped by such manufac-
tured proof, and the newly made bene-
dict had to submit to the humiliation of
permitting dispatch to be sent to his
father asking for Endorsement. OF course
the reply was prompt and equal to the
emergency, but, pending its arrival, the
unhappy couple were kept under sur
veillance in the public parlors.-Her

The Hole Shuts Up.

The Danish government, which is
active in perfecting its small but power
full fleet, has given practical demon
stration of the value of cellulose as de-
fense against the entrance of water, fol-
lowing the piercing Of ship of war by a
projectile. The vessel upon which the
experiment was tried was the Hecla, the
latest addition to the fleet, While at
anchor another cruiser, the Absalon,
took position about forty-6ve yards from
the Hecla, which is protected with an
inside lining of cellulose three feet thick
The Absalon discharged projectile
from 5-inch gun, which pierced the
Hecla at point near the bow and at the
water line. The latter Immediately got
under way and cruised about for three
hours, the water in the meantime flow
ing freely above the holes caused by the
shot. The cellulose, which dilated upon
contact with the water, gave results APP
parently efficient, inasmuch as the COM
partlnent which had been pierced, at the
conclusion of the three hours cruise,
contained but q trihing quantity OF
water-New Orleans Picayune.

Tanning a Zebra.

Zebras can never be tanned, unless the
process is begun while they are still very
young. H. A. Dryden gives an instance
of tragic fate which befell one of them,
captured when he was or 8 years old.
He had joined troop of horses belong
ing to one of the authors friends, and
finally allowed himself to be driven with
them into kraal or inclosure. 1t was
then determined to keep him, and if pos
sible to domesticate him.
For this purpose he was lassoed and
tied to tree, but so ferocious was he in
the presence of man that the greatest
precautions had TO be observed in ap-
preaching him. All possible means were
taken to induce him to feed. When cap
tured he was in splendid condition, and
his coat shone in the sun. Herbage was
brought from the mountain tops where
he had been used to Craze, and every
conceivable food placed before him, but
in vain; he steadily refused to eat.
Water he drank greedily, and would
dispose of three bucketfuls at time.
AT length, after three weeks of vain
endeavor to tame the noble creature,
during which time he subsisted entirely
on water, he died.-Youth Companion.

A Mile in Forty Seconds by Rail.

A mile in 80 4-5 seconds, or at the rate
of over 80 miles an hour, is the fastest
run ever made by a railroad train. This
unparalleled feat has been accomplished
on the Bound Brook railroad, between
Neshaminy Falls and Langhorne, by en-
gine No 206 drawing two ordinary
coaches and President McLeod's private
car Reading, which is equal to two
coaches in weight. Other miles were
reeled off with speed as astonishing as
this crack mile, and at the end of the
"hy" the worlds record was broken
From this out all records must date from
the memorable Bound Brook fight. The
fastest mile was scored in 80 AS seconds

A Cargo of serpents.

For two years agents of Mr.. William
Cross, the naturalist of Earle street,
Liverpool, have been engaged in India
in the collection of serpents, the result
being that cargo of reptiles has just ar
rived in Liverpool Aftet traversihg the
Jungle districts, the collectors succeeded
in capturing or purchasing from the
natives who joined in the hunt about
300 pythons some of them fourteen feet
in length being secured. About fifty
died on the journey through the country
or failed to survive the passage home
when for the purpose of transit they
were placed in long coffinlil1e cases.
through which, of course, holes were
bored for ventilation and feeding
The surviving reptiles to the number
of about 250 were unpacked at Mr.. Gross
premises. Barle street, but so excited
were they ON escaping from their long
confinement that they gave considerable
trouble Some of the assistants, in en-
deavoring to recapture them, as they
wound themselves with remarkable
alacrity around posts, stair bannisters,
and the legs and bodies of those who
happened to be in the way, sustained
bites. which, happily. have not proved
serious. Some of the larger ones also
took to swallowing the smaller fry.
To place some of the large fellows in
the cases reserved for them required the
united strength of three men, and Mr..
Cross himself had several times to be de-
livered from the coils of the creatures.
The serpents have now commenced to
lay eggs. of which there is already a
small collection. So largea number of
snakes has not been seen before in this
country; but the demand for them from
geological societies, snake charmers and
others appears to be larger than would
be readily imagined.-St. James Ga

The ,ITse of the word Telepathy.

The term telepathy must not be in
troduced without explanation. Some
term not yet in common use must be
employed when mental phenomena-in-
fiuences of mind on mind-not generally
seen to be closely related have to be
classed together and, if possible
brought under one law. The familiar
term Though transference" has much
too limited a meaning. And "telep-
athy" is already in use. 1t has been
adopted by the Society for Psychical
Research, and among other writers, es-
pecially by Mr.. Edmund Gurney.-

Oil from the Porpoise.

The porpoises killed in winter are the
latest and produce most oil. The largest
size measure about seven feet in length,
five feet in girth and weigh about 300
pounds. Such a porpoise yields from six
to seven gallons of oil. The blubber of a
big porpoise weighs about 100 pounds
and is one and a half inches thick in
summer and two in winter.
The jaws of the porpoise yield a su-
perior quality of oil. When hung up in
the sun it readily drips away into cans
provided for the purpose, the quantity of
oil thus procured, however, being not
more than half pint to the jaw. The
oil from the blubber gives an excellent
light and is in demand along the coast
for lighthouse use. 1t has no offensive
odor.
Porpoise shooting is followed at all
seasons and in all kinds of weather. On
a calm summers day the porpoise may
be heard blowing mile or two away.
If you wound porpoise, and there are
any sharks around, the shark is very apt
to share your booty with you even if he
doesn't devour it in toto.-New York

How Dogs Are Stolen in Paris.

Dog stealers in Paris have two prin-
cipal means of getting hold of the ami
NAL they want. First of all they find
out the dogs habits, the liberty he is al
lowed, the hours that he takes an airing
either alone or with a servant, and make
their arrangements accordingly They
sometimes prowl around house for g
week before obtaining all the informa
ton they need. When they learn where
they can meet the animal, they attract
him by some sort of bait, or make hin
follow a bitch, which they lead with {
string.
In narrow street it is easy to approach
the dog and pat him. If he is not very
savage, the offer of something to eat rem
ders him condding; the thief, who has a
slipnoose ready, passes it around the
dogs neck, and the game is bagged. On
the boulevards and in the public parks,
where dogs usually follow their masters
or mistresses without being held by a
cord, the thieves always use a second
animal, and as soon as the dog comes
near enough to the decoy brute the lasso
is thrown and the gallant captured

EnEineer Jenkins, Pre.entimen,-

Charley Jenkins was an engineer on
the Baltimore and Ohio for many years.
and he had many hairbreadth escapes.
His run was between Garrett, Ind, and
Chicago Junction, O.. and nearly every
body along the route came to know him
personally. His friends could tell his
engine every time by the peculiar foot, =
and whenever the engine was in sight
there would be wave of the hand as a
recognition of friendship His engine.
the 720, was the best on the division. and
if fast run was to be made Jenkins and
the 720 We're sure to be on the call board
for it.
One day the old engineer was taken
i'll, and for weeks he fingered on his bed,
when it seemed that only thread held
him on to life. He was sadly missed
along the route, and the peculiar foot
OF the whistle was heard no more, for,
although old 720 was kept running. there
were other hands at the throttle.
The crisis of his illness came The
family surrounded the bed and watched
with breathless eagerness for any sign of
change.
The stiffness of the room was Cypress
i've. Nothing could be heard save the
regular, heavy breathing OF the sick en-
gineer.
Suddenly he arose on his elbow. He
stared wildly around, and his eyes looked
like madman's. Then he sat up in bed,
clutched an imaginary sheet of paper.
and gasped:
"Tiffin: train FIVE; engine SEVENTEEN
ty; prepare to meet thy God"
He sank back exhausted and fell into
a quiet, easy sleep. When he awoke he
was on a fair way to recovery, but by
that time the news had reached the place
that a terrible accident had happened;
that No. 5 had collided with a freight;
that engine 720 was wreck, and that
the engineer and fireman were dead.
Charley Jenkins insists that he had a
presentiment from heaven Cleveland
