der Pain of Death.
TOPEKA, Aug. 1O.-Judge Theodore
Botkin came to Topeka and brought
with him come letters which are causing
him much uneasiness about the results
of the forthcoming trial of jim Bren-
nan, the murderer Of his bitter enemy,
Sam Wood. One of these letters, writ.
ten by friend of Botkin who lives in
the neutral strip, contains the informa-
ton that Ed Short, crack shot, has
left the neutral strip for southwestern
Kansas with the avowed purpose Of
avenging the murder of his friend, Sam
Wood. The letter says that if Judge
Botkin presides at the trial of
Brennan he will surely be assassinated.
Another letter from Topeka, signed "a
Friend," warns Judge Botkin that his
enemies have formed a plot to assassi-
nate him, and that if he presides at the
trial of Brennan both he and Brennan
will be killed in the court room Judge
Botkin does not know who this letter is
from, but does not think it is from any
of his friends. He has received nu1ner-
GUS anonymous letters on this subject,
of which these are only samples When
asked if he would preside at the trial, he
said he was not in the habit of giving
any legal opinions ahead of time, but
when the trial comes up would let his
decision be known.

Senator call's Certificate Refused,

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 1O.-The
Fleming letter is the second episode in
the Call fight in the state. The gov
ernors letter reviews the election of
Call and then goes into it extensively.
The letter, which is furnished for anti
Call organs only, fills fully six or ten
full newspaper columns. Fleming
finds no precedent for giving Call a
certificate, and says his duty as gov
ernor requires him to refuse, which he
does in the closing paragraph. The
next act in this burlesque will be for
Fleming to issue a certificate to Chip
pley and then the battle will begin in
earnest. Chippley is a fighter from
way back, and he hates Call as in
tensely as possible, and if a certificate
is given him he will devote his life if
necessary to downing his ancient
enemy.

The common assumption, made in
text books as we'll as elsewhere, that
the temperature of the 7arth toward

universal fact. Investiss,tions show

the temperature is stated to be only

DIFFERENT WAYS OF SLEEPING.
Europeans Like Soft Pillows, but Eastern
Races Like Blocks.


Though it is true, as the author of a
school composition once asserted that
sleeping is q universal practice
among all nations" it is also true that
there is a great diversity in the
methods of sleeping among people of
life, says the Youths Companion.
The things that one needs to make him
sleep are precisely the things which
| would keep another awake all night.
Even the sedative medicines which
put one person Immediately into a
heavy slumber excite another into Il
condition of nervous restlessncss.
| The European Or American, in order
to sleep well, ordinarily requires a
downy pillow under his head; but the
Japanese, stretching himself upon a
rush-lnat on the floor, puts hard
square block of wood under his head
and does not sleep well if he does not
have it.
The Chinese makes great account of
his bed, which is very low, indeed
scarcely rising from the foor-but is
often carved exquisitely of wood; but
it never occurs to him to make it any
any softer than rush-mats will render
it.
While the people of northern coun-
tries can not sleep unless they have
plenty of room to stretch out their
legs, the inhabitants of the tropics
often curl themselv ) up like monkeys
at the lower angis of a suspended
hammock, and sleep soundly in that
position.
The robust American often covers
himself with a pair of blankets and
throws his window wide open to the
air. even in the winter time, and he
does not complain if he finds a little
drift of snow across t. top of his bed
in the morning.
The Russian, on the contrary, likes
no sleeping-place so we'll as the top ol
the big soapstone stove in his domicile.
Crawling out Of this blistering bed in
the morning he likes to take a plunge
in cold stream, even if he has tc
break through the ice to get into it.
The Laplander crawls head and all,
lntO q DagS maze OF relndeer skin anC
sleeps warm and comfort able within
it. The East Indian, at the other enc
OF the world, also has a sleeping bag,
but it is more porous than the Lap
lander's. Its purpose is to keep ou
mosquitoes more than to keep the
sleeper warm.
While the American still clings tc
his feather pillow he is steadily dis
carding his old-fashioned feather bee
in favor of the hair or straw mattress
The feather bed is relegated to the
country and many people who slep
upon it all through their childhood
find themselves uncomfortable upon i
in their maturity.
The Germans not only sleep upon ;
feather bed, but underneath one. The
feather covering used in Germany
however, is not as large Or thick a
the one which is used as mattress
and the foreigner who undertakes t,
sleep beneath it often finds his fee
suffering from cold, while his should
ers are suffering from heat.

Burke, started on cruise about the bay,

A Birds Peculiarly,

There is a curious peculiarity OF the

be styled the lamp-bird Of the fisher

flesh of the bird is very oily, and tho
inhabitants of the island, who kill it
by thousands, utilize this property for
domestic purposes. They insert wick
in the birds bill. and obtain for an
hour a light that is sufficiently bright
to nerve their purposes.
