a Poor Man on Tax DAYS.

City Counselor Will c. Marshall had
a big case just before he went into his
office, and while it was pending he had
to present heavy bond for his client to
the court. The client brought him a
friend, who told Marshall he was worth
100000 in unincumbered real estate.
At the proper time Marshall brought
him before the court and put him on
the stand
Glow much are you WORTH" he asked
him. The bondsman hesitated and began
to wriggle uneasily in his chair. "Oh,
well, you're worth 300, O0Oin real estate,
| suppose" said Marshall.
Good gracious, no! Not half of
that" exclaimed the witness. II guess
| am worth about $20,000.Y
Marshall was astonished beyond meas
IRE, and had to ask the indulgence of the
court while he sought another bonds
man. Meeting hisman outside the court
room afterward, he asked him warmly
what he meant by such contradictory
statements. ga
81 am worth 100000" said the man
cody, ''but you don't suppose I'm fool
enough to declare it in court? I've been
reporting $4,000 to the assessor Straight

taxesif l told how much was worth ON

Hundreds at a Dogs Funeral,

Fer number of years Colorel ]. B.
Dodge, of Warsaw has been the owner
of a most beautiful and intelligent shep-
herd dog. He was very friendly with
children. Two years ago Frank, while
interviewing another dog ON the railroad
track, was run over by passing train,
crushing one of his hind legs and cutting
off his beautiful tail Thursday Frank,
who had become quite decrepit and deaf,
wandered down to the railroad again
and was struck by train and killed in
stantly.
The news few Like wildfre among the
boys, and they concluded to give him a
funeral such as no.dog ever had in this
partof the country. Selecting suitable
location, the grave was dug and re-
spectacle coffin was made, and Frank
was placed in it in one of his favored
trick attitudes-that OF. playing dead.
The coffin was then closed and the grave
filled up in+he presence of fifty ladies and
gentlemen, who were attracted by the
novelty, and at least 200 boys. The
whole proceeding was conducted with
the utmost decorum.-Co Indianapolis

A Well Full of Snakes.

Connecticut evidently is bent on Civ
ing Georgia a tussle for the position of
chief center for the distribution of snake
stories. This one comes from Norwich:
A man here the other day took the
stone cover off an old dry well in his
pasture and saw at the bottom of it a
ball of braided black snakes bigger than
lager beer keg. He ran to the house
and got his revolver and box of cart
ridges He blew in all his cartridges,
and the well was boiling over with es-
Gaping snakes when lie got through with
them. He got eighteen dead snakes in
the well, and more than three times
that number got away. The biggest
snake bagged was over seven feet long
and the smallest one more than four
feet.

Vicarious Martyrdom.

The grip is depopulating the Indian
wigwams of Alaska and Vancouvers
Island. The malignity of the disease
seems, indeed, proportioned to the inno-
cence of its victims-a phenomenon
which might be explained on the theory
that epidemics prove specially fatal to
individuals of an unprepared race A
native of the Allegheny highlands may
be almost killed by catarrh contracted
by nights lodging in bedroom filled
with an atmosphere which the habitues
of the city slulns could breathe with
comparative IMMUNITY, and the chron-
icler of Captain Cooks voyages relates
that a community of South Sea Islanders
was affected with an alarming influenza,
in consequence of few minutes con-
versation with sailors who had passed
the nights of a long voyage ip stuffy
cockpit. L. Oswald in Philadel-

WhiStlinS in Germany.

One has to be careful how and what
he whistles in Germany. The other day
a peasant at Diedenhofen, Lorraine, was
arrested and brought before the magis-
trate on the charge of showing disrespect
to the German authorities by whistling
the ..'Marseillaise. The man contended
that the march he had whistled was one
he had learned when he was serving in
the Brunswick Hussars. The court made
the policeman who had arrested the
prisoner whistle the ''Marseillaise" to see
if he knew the famous hymn. Then the
prisoner was ordered to whistle the
march he claimed to have heard in the
Hussars. 1t proved to be suspiciously
similar to the "Marseillaise, and the
unlucky whistler was fined fifteen marks
for his indiscretion. The policeman was
not fined for whistling the air.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

A Millionaire Buys a Hat,

Isidor Wormser was acknowledged the
other day to be the greatest economist OF

chored in New street, fifteen feet from the
Stock exchange and close to Delmonicos.

He has colossal head, and only one
hat fitted, and that was a misft until
Mr.. Wormser manipulated it. He first

his knee into il, and even then it was a

Bacteria killed by Electrioitv.

The disease producing bacteria may
be killed by a current of electricity, as
has been shown by experiments with
bottles of water containing them. By
passing the current from battery
through loop of wire suspended in the
water it was found that a small voltage
was sufficient to deprive the most active
bacteria of life. The consumption ba-
cillus died under two and quarter
volts, while other more hardy species
could not survive more than three volts
and half
Unfortunately, this electrical method
would be too expensive and troublesome
for the householder to pursue. It is sug-
gested, therefore, that cities or water
companies shall perform the entire task,
delivering the water to consumers in a
condition guaranteed harmless. Accord
ing to the plan proposed the killing of
the microbe is to be accomplished at the
reservoir. Nothing could be easier than
to apply the energy of a battery by a
current at one place in the supply pipes
as to kill with absolute certainty every
microbe that passed through in the flow
ing water.
A dynamo with capacity of 1000
volts would do the work perfectly for
the biggest possible pipe. Staying sll the
bacteria going through and rendering
innocuous all the millions of gallons
daily that a metropolis consumes. All
that is necessary is that length of the
pipe shall be made of insulated material,
and through holes in it's sides will be in
serted wires representing the poles of the
battery-positive on one side and mega
tive on the other. Set the dynamo going,
and the current springs through the wa
ter, filling it with powerful electric
waves necessarily fatal to all living or
ganisms floating in the stream.-New
York Telegram.

Experiments in Growing sponges.

1t was rumored in the sponge trade on
Saturday that company had been
formed with 100000 capital to under
take experiments at sponge growing on
the ocean shore of Long Island, opposite
the Shinnecock hills The story caused
considerable amusement among practical
men in the business.
1T will be a waste of time and money"
one of them said, Ito try to grow sponge
in northern waters. Sponges will not
grow in cold climate. We have grade
OF sponges known in the trade as Long
Island grass sponges. They are of a
cheap quality, and do not come from our
Long Island across the river They are
from the south"
Several attempts have been made to
grow sponges in this section during the
past ten years. "a firm in Cedar street
were interested in a sponge raising
scheme down at Patchogue FIVE years
ago. dealer said. ''They started in,
II my memory serves me right, by max
ing an artificial bottom of coral, .prac-
tlcally the same substance on which the
sponge grows in the Mediterranean.
Then vessel load of sponges was sunk
on the coral bed. Aftera time several
sponge fishers of wide experience were
sent out to the bed to gather the first
crop. They found the seed sronges
rotted and there was not the slightest
evidence of new crop. Another effort
to grow sponees was subsequently made
down the New Jersey shore, and, like
the Long Island experiments. nothing
came of it. New York Sun.

A Hard Record to Beat.

Marketmaster Hibbe, of Dubuque, Ia,
who fell and broke his leg recently, has
an extended record for broken bones. At
three years of age he fell from wagon
and had three ribs broken; at five he fell
down fight of, stairs and broke his
right arm; at nine he was thrown by a
schoolmate and had his left arm broken;
at twelve he fell and broke two fingers;
at nineteen he was blown from a steeple
by the wind and alighting on pile Of
sand had his back strained; last spring,
at about thirty years of age, he fell off
the roof of the Dubuque high school
building breaking his thigh and jaw
and dislocating his shoulder and ankle.
He says he is still good for fifteen OF
twenty more falls if they must come his
way.-Dubuque Letter.

Dir. MiIler,s Farm strangely pisappearing.

MT. Miiier's Farm Strangely Disappearing.
The farm of John H Miller, who lives
eighteen miles southeast of Sedalia. Mo-.
is slowly being swallowed up in what
seems to be huge river flowing beneath
the surface of the earth. The phenome-
non was observed first Saturday, when
Mr.. Miller's family heard rumbling
noise in the orchard Investigation re-
vealed hole in the ground about six
feet in diameter and several feet deep,
with water at the bottom. The rum
blings continued, and the hole has been
constantly enlarging since that time.
+. T. Clayton visited the spot and
made thorough investigation of what
he terms the most wonderful thing he
has ever seen. He reports that the cav
ity is nearly circular in form, sixteen
feet in diameter at the top and tapering
to ten feet at the water line, which is
twenty-six feet from the surface. The
water is twenty-five feet deep and seems
to be flowing river, as sticks thrown
into it are carried rapidly.away by the
current. The opening is in prairie land,
not near any spring or body of water.
Several years ago farmer in that i'm
mediate neighborhood was driving a
well, when the tools became detached
and lost, but it was thought to be mere
" pocket, and no attention was paid
10 it.
The cavity is gradually enlarging, and
as Mr.. Millers residence is only sixty
feet distant he is greatly alarmed for the
safety of his home and family.-Cor.

Climate and Morals.

The world is tolerably we'll mapped
out as to diseases. The colored charts
show us where we may most probably
dwell with malaria, with consumption
or with general debility. We study,
also, the adaptability of plants to differ
ent climatic conditions. But our knowl-
edge of the relation of man to climate is
still far from scientifc-that is to say,
of the influence of climate upon charac-
ter and conduct. To come to detail,
what, for instance, do we know of the
effect of climate upon veracity. There
are portions of the earth's surface where
the inhabitants regard truth as luxury
seldom to be INDUCED in: in others the
mind seems rather inclined to truthful
ness.
Whether the difference is owing to
race or climate our observations do not
yet enable us to determine There is a
popular notion that the habit of prevari-
cation goes along with warmth, or with
a facilitating atmosphere, and that cold
is tonic, a sort of stimulant for truth
fulness. We indeed have in the phrase
''the cold truth recognition of this.
We say that the northern ATTITUDES nurse
the rugged virtue of veracity.

Brothers Death Strangely coincident.

Brothers Death Strangely Coincident
One of the most remarkable coinci-
dences that it has ever been the province
OF newspaper to record comes from the
lower end of the county Henry Trum-
bauer of Ross township, few miles
west of Shickshinny, a farmer, forty-five
years old, retired at an early hour on
Sunday night in his usual good health,
and to all outward appearances never
felt better in his life. The next morn
ing his wife was Mortified by the dis
covery of his dead body in bed He had
passed quietly away in the night with
out struggle
On the same night his brother Will
liam, living in Hunlock township, about
ten miles away, retired hale and hearty.
He, too, showed no symptoms of illness.
Nothing in his demeanor gave the slight
est warning of impending dissolution.
His daughter, not seeing her father come
down as usual, called, but received no
answer. She went up stairs, when she
was horror stricken to find him dead on
the bed.
The occurrence has created not lit
tie excitement in the neighborhood, as
the men were we'll known in the COM
munity. No marks of violence could be
found on their bodies, and the general
belief is that death was due to natural
causes. Both men were married and
each leaves a wife and family. Wilkes

Even the Intelligent compositor'
sometimes proves to be the instrument
of great good. For example, on Satur-
day an indignant husband wrote and
gave to Brooklyn newspaper an adver-
tisement in which he gave notice that he
would not be responsible for any debts
contracted by his wife. He wished it to
be inserted twice, and somewhere in the
copy of the advertisement he wrote the
words ''for two days" These the ''in-
telligent compositor" interpreted so that
when the notice appeared it read as fol-
lows: "For two days after date will
not be responsible for any debts con-
tracted by my wife" The separated
couple both saw the absurdity of the
thing and concluded to take the compos-
itor,s view of the case. They are now
among the happiest persons in Brooklyn.

The Secret of Good Mountain Climbing

The Secret of Good Mountain Climbing
The secret of the climbing of the hunt
ers is that they trust their feet as much
as their hands. To plant their nailed
shoe is all they ask in any place. They
go steadily, but slowly, and rest often,
SO as to avoid climbing when exhausted
or breathless. A tired or winded man
will tumble, slip and be in danger where
he would pass easily when fresh. The
apprentice in this particular hunt found
the greatest difficulty in crossing a chaos
A chaos is a steep slope covered with
blocks of stone ranging from hundred
pounds to many tons.
There are ugly holes, big and little,
between them. Their edges are gener-

looks down at his feet, they appear,
without exception, very sharp. In addi-

Common Sense in Bicycle Riding.

Regarding pneumatic tires, the editor
of the cycling department in Outing
says: There is no doubt about it but
that better air valve must be devised,
made with an alright cap which can
not be detached Some such device
hear has been tried in its experimental
stages. and when completed it will be a
vast improvement on the crude valve
now generally in use. Dealers must
take pains to instruct purchasers of pneu-
matte res how to initiate and to what
tension-the heavier the man the harder
the tension. Riders must use brains and
common sense and not be afraid to take
a bit of trouble if they would get the
best results out of pneumatic tire"
