A Clever Little Boy.

The gopher onlyremains few seconds
in his hole, when he feels an irresistible
desire to come out again and look about
him. Taking advantage of a knowledge
of this habit of theirs, little boy, 8 years
old, who was lost for 10 days in the
prairies of Assiniboine, $50 miles north of
the Canadian Pacific Railroad line, in
1886, was able to save his life. The boy
wore lace boots, with leather laces, and
used to spread moose made with
boot lace over hole when he had seen
gopher go in; he would then lie down
and wait for him TO come out again.
When the gopher, according to his
wont, put his head out to see the world,
the little boy pulled the string, caught
him by the neck, and ate him. AS there
was plenty of rain water in the holes
about, the boy got along very well in this
way till search party rescued him.

A Girl's Book kecping.

keeping of books to show exactly what
they spend, said man ON change. l
got my wife to bring my daughters book
to me for inspection. l tell you, that
girl should be teaching bookkeeping in
business college instead of spending my
"hard earned" money on European
novelties and germans. Some of the
entries are so interesting l copied them.
Here are three or four which will give
you an idea of the rest of the entries:
"One pair kid gloves, undressed and just
the proper shade for my Easter suit,

The Dark Days Before France,

Senator Bartn ,lmyst Hi.are, minister
of French foreign affairs, in a recent
speech said that France was spending
1,500.00O francs for every 200, 600 francs
of income. and this process, he said, has
been going on for years. "The upshot of
the whole NATTER" he said, must be
that we shall have to repudiate our debt
AS we did in the first revolution and start
afresh." Referring to the American re-
public. he said Il greatly admire the
magnificent manner in which the United
States has gone on paying off its tremen-
dous debt cOntrac | during the gigantic
civil war. We o. hit to initiate in
modest way the American example. But
several circumstances oppose this. In
the first place, the wastefulness of our
great departments of government is some
thing frightful. Whileit can not be said
that there is any outright stealing of the
public funds, the extravaganza is tremen-
dous and no government dares incur the
danger of the poll clans in cleaning out
this augean stable" Referring to the
expenses of the vast military system, he
said: I'VE try to stop this suicidal
financial policy. We can not reduce our
army, for there stands that Alsace-Lor-
raine difficulty Il undecided. What
an objectionable sin it was for Germany
to take those provinces. We would have
willingly paid many more millions of
francs could we ha preserved our terri
tory intact. But France will never
abandon Alsace- Lorraine without strug-
gle, which, when it comes, will be
deadly one. France must win or be
effaced from the map of Europe, like
Poland. She will fight to the last man,
for she will see that her very existence as
a nation depends on victory, and if she
comes off victor in what an exhausted
state she will probably be left. Then the
ordinary financial situation, rendered
still more oppressive by the ii creased ex-
penditures of the supreme struggle, will
weigh down upon the bleeding nation
and bankruptcy will then be inevitable.

We All Eat Too Much.

"Nearly everybody eats far more than
is necessary, said the doctor. Among
my patients those who eat the least get
over their troubles the quickest, while
those who eat the heaviest are ill the
oftenest My experience shows that half
the ailments of life are brought about by
overeating or drinking. myself take
light breakfast, perhaps eggs with toast,
OF fish with potatoes, or bit of cold
chicken, or something of the kind, and
cup of coffee AT noon ! take milk, with
a few crackers, or else some California
fruits. At 6 l have hearty, but not
heavy, dinner, with soup, fish, meat,
vegetables, bread, and few glasses of
light wine. do not eat over a pound
and half of solid food a day, though
am more robust than most men, and am
never troubled with any of the hundred
complaints that are the result overeating.
l advise you to eat lightly, be careful of
what you eat, and take your time in eat
ing. This looks like commonplace ad-
vice, but my fee for it, without any pills,
is S10,"

THE MAN IN THE MOON.

The man in the moon looked down. looked
down,
AS he went sailing over town,
And spied snug retreat and dark,
Beneath yew tree in park,
o dear!
Why did he smile so broad and queer?
There was bench beneath the tree,
And on it sat not one nor three,
And yet he peered the branches through
To be quite sure that there were two.
Well, well,
Such tales as the Man in the Moon could tell
He sent silver shaft of light
Straight through the vague and lying night;
1t flashed athwart two eyes upturned,
And two with love and youth that burned
Alack!
And these were blue and those were black.
And then the Man in the Moon sailed past
Across the heavens wild and vast;
And though he smiled. he did not look
Again into that leafy nook.
Oh. oh,
He sees so much that's queer, you knowl

Impure Water.

Comparatively few persons have ever
seen absolutely pure water. Even rain
water, which is the nearest common ap-
Proclamation to it, is far from reaching
the absolute standard, and though it is
good for washing, not many persons
would care to drink it. Spring water is
popularly supposed to be pure, but it al
ways contains more or less earthly or sa-
line substances. Indeed, the value of
most springs is due to this fact.
The ocean itself is huge spring, con-
tanning not only salt, but many other
minerals in solution. The Dead Sea is
charged with such elements almost to
saturation. Only distilled water is pure.
By distillation sea water itself is reu-
dered drinkable, though not pleasant.
AS sand consists largely of silex, which
water at the ordinary temperature does
not dissolve, the water of sandy region
is comparatively pure. The "hard water
of other regions is due to earthly matter
held in solution. This earthly matter,
however, is seldom harmful to those who
drink it.
Impure water, in the medical sense of
the word, is water that contains in
fectous microbes. Water, as such,
never contains these; nor does any form
of simple impurity ever give rise to
them, though it may greatly facilitate
their multiplication.
Every case of infectious disease implies
a previous case, and when water is in
fected it is because infected secretions
have in some way entered it, having been
thrown upon the ground and thence
carried to the well or spring, or river
which supplies the family or community.
1t should be remembered that the
deeper the well the larger the area from
which the rainwater finds its way into
it. No discharges or other secretions
from the room of sick person should be
thrown on the ground or buried in it,,
within at least 100 feet of the well.
But water which is drank is not the
only source of danger. Many wide
spread and fatal epidemic has been
traced to milk from dairies where the
pans had been washed in impure water,
or the milk itself adulterated with it.

How the Arizona Town Came to Get
Its Extraordinary Name.


When the late Ma irw Arnold was in
this country he took exceptions, among
other things. to the names of our cities.
So did Historian Froude. They said we
went to the classics and outraged history
for cognomens to designate dugouts and
"boom" towns. Their cultured souls
were affected.
But they never heard of Tombstone,
Arizona. That is an American name.
The effete cast would never have thought
of such an appropriation. How did it
come by the funereal title? This is ques-
ton that is asked almost every time the
town is mentioned and but few are able
to answer.
Conjectures, and they are many are
put to rest under tombstone, it might
be said, by the aid of Mr.. G. c. Warner,
of the Contention mine, Tombstone, who
agreed to relate to a reporter yesterday
how it received its Western name. Mr..
Warner has been in Tombstone almost
since its inception and passed through
Denver yesterday on his return from
Canon City.
"It's quite as simple and natural as the
name is strange and queer how it re-
ceived its christening, he said. "There
were two brothers-one, and probably
both, living yet-by the name of AL. and
Ed. Scheflien. CYou will observe that
there is connection between the names
and the town-shuffling off the mortal
coil and then the Tombstone.) Well, it's
not often that l perpetrate joke, but
this Colorado air makes fellow do many
strange things. But l am wandering.
The Schefiiens We're, of course, prospect
ors, and kept han ling about there for
some time without doing much. The
Apache Indians were around pretty thick.
Finally one day Ed. Schefien prepared to
start out on pros0ecting tour mp the
gulch. His brother tried to persuade him
to abandon his project pointing out that
the Indians would devour him or that he
would get lost in the ravine: but all to
no purpose Just as he was about to
start he told his brother to look after
piece of rock that he had found near the
camp.
"Yes, l will use it for your tomb
stone,' said AL. sadly, and away went the
more go ahead brother.
"Time passed, but there were no It'd
ings of the foolhardy brother. Weeks
went and he did not put in an appear
ance. The brother, true to his promise,
proceeded to carve in rude letters in the
quartz rock an inscription which ran:

A FAT MANS AMBITION.
John Craig Weighs 975 Pounds and II
Anxious to Add 25 to 1t.

John Craig Weighs 975 Pounds and II
Anxious to Add 25 to It.
Some men travel on their nerve, some
on their shape. John Harmon Craig
travels on his size, says the Kansas City
Star.
Before his recent visit to wonderland,
in this city, John had travelled more than
400 900 miles. 1t is long journey, but
John has much size.
The floor over which John may choose
to walk must be prepared to Withstand
strain of 975 pounds. Nevertheless he
eats and sleeps regularly and conse-
quently is healthy. His ambition is to
weigh 1000 pounds, which would shatter
illogical heavy weights. He thinks he
will do it shortly, unless his anxiety to
do so retards his growth.
1T has been the law with people of alb
normal weight and size, said Mr.. Craig
during his recent exhibition here, "to be
short lived and subject to violent attacks
of illness. am the only one who has
enjoyed throughout life perfect health. "
Craig has accumulated several fortunes
anu lOSU lNO llIee Ill W
run circus. He yet possesses a bank
account well proportioned to his own
size. Besides being fat man he is a
Knight of Pythias, Odd Fellow, and
United Workman. Those who know
him best say that he is also regular
bureau of charity.
He was born in Iowa City, Iowa, and is
35 years old. At birth he weighed II
pounds. At II months he weighed n
pounds, and at the age of 2 years he
weighed 206 pounds. He was the biggest
baby in the world for his age, and cap
tured the 81 900 cash prize offered by Bar
mum in 1858. For the next two years he
travelled in Europe. When he returned
he weighed 300 pounds, and a year later
he weighed 405 pounds. When 25 years
old he weighed 625 pounds.
There is Mrs. Craig and Mr.. Craig,
Jr. Mrs. Craig is a blonde, "a years of
age, and weighs III pounds. They met
for the first time in st. Joseph in 1884,
when Craig was on exhibition there. 1t
was case of love at first sight for both,
and in less than week after the meeting
matrimonial negotiations had ended sue
cessfully. They were married in Fort
Scott, Kan, two weeks later.
Craig's father weighed III pounds, his
mother 1875 pounds.
