said one day to the doctor. "a have a

other conditions were soon agreed upon.
When the preliminaries were written
down the Italian said: 81 shall call to-

ducing a handbag, ''why should 1 carry
about this heavy bag? | cannot leave it
at my hotel, as the owner refuses to
guarantee my treasure against robbery
You see there is a good deal of money
and notes in it." He opened the bag
and took out a small box in black tin.
which actually contained a treasure.
''Will you allow me to leave the whole
bag with you? You might use it for de-
posting your own money in instead of
having it in that crazy wooden box of
yours"
The instrument dealer consented. He
placed some 5000 to 5000 francs in gold
and nearly $4,000 francs bonds in the
box and put the bag behind the counter.
The Italians were leaving. LET me
look at my bag; | want to take out

ing out the box of black tin the Italian
said: keep the money here. may as
well take the bag; it is not heavy with
out it,"
On the day following the instrument
dealer waited, but the Italian did not
come. He went TO see the doctor. The
doctor had disappeared from his place
of business.
When he opened the tin box he found
in it two pounds Of iron, carefully
wrapped up in oakum to keep it from
shaking. The money and bonds were

The incessant appeal which comes
from fruit growers throughout the state
for the continuance of some means for
the determination of gophers and other
field rodents has prompted a well known
fruit company of this city to negotiate
for the importation of a small carnivo-
rous animal known as themongoose. The
animal is total stranger to our soil.
and the only specimens ever forwarded
here were two from Hawaii in 1890.
which, however, were denied landing
and were subsequently drowned in the
bay by the customs officials.
The mongoose is a catiike animal in
size and appearance and is indigenous
to India. where its antipathy TO rats,
snakes, gophers and other similar var
min is well known. The animal is very
easily domesticated, and for this reason
serves excellently as rat exterminator
in private families.
In consequence of these desirable
characteristics, the mongoose has been
imported to Jamaica, where it has ac-
complished much in the way of exter-
mination, and more recently it was sent
to the Sandwich Islands. There the first
few specimens have multiplied largely
and have created havoc among the rats
which formerly infested the sugar cane
fields. 1t is believed that it can accom-
plish the same results in this state

A Motor Beats a Rolling Hat.

An amusing race between a south
side motor car and plug hat with a
gaudy purple lining occurred on the
central viaduct yesterday. 1t was a
straightaway dash for half mile, and
the motor car won after a desperate
struggle because its competitor went
lame by striking a snag.
During the pelting rainstorm at noon
an eastbound motor car ON the bridge
passed at the draw carriage, the chief
engineer of which wore the Maud S tile.
The bedraggled team had no desire to
test the speed of the motor, but the
storm and the hat made up a race. From
the drawbridge to the east end of the
viaduct is a clear course of more than
half mile. The storm abruptly trans
ferred the hat to the sidewalk, and as
the wind was blowing along the course
nearly thirty miles an hour the race was
on in a moment Sometimes the hat
rolled along with the rim and edge of
the crown ON the sidewalk and some
times it turned end over end. The
motor was running nearly twenty miles
an hour, but the tile easily kept pace
with it.
For more than half the distance it was
a dead heat, and the passengers became
wildly excited. They stood on the seats
and applauded the hat and the motor
man alternately. The latter applied the
full power of the electric current, but
he became discouraged several times
after gaining a temporary advantage
when gust of wind placed the purple
lined racer in the lead. At the east end
of the viaduct final squirt was made
by the motorman, but the hat kept pace
with him until it landed among lot Of
beer kegs.
The hat was not then half as pretty
as when the race began.-Cleveland

the constables obeyed the summons. In
moment the room was packed with a
crowd of persons, all anxiously looking
toward the surgeon, who in such cases
has the first word.

the stranger; II could tell at the first
glance that you were dead. Do you hap

and began fumbling in his pocket, from
which he quickly produced a thick
packet of neatly bound almanacs.

The ravages of cholera in Persia and
Bokhara mean simply one thing-flth.
The commonest sanitary precautions are
neglected and death grows fat and
laughs. The Russian governments or
binary subjects are none too clearly
themselves, but they live in immaculate
whiteness compared to some of their i'm
mediate Asiatic neighbors. When the
Russian authorities at length impressed
on the ameer of Bokhara that it was
lack of sanitation that spread the chol-
era, that ruler undertook to enforce the
use of soap and water and disinfectants
among his people. But they believed
the wrath of the unseen powers would
fall on them and their country if they
took bath, and were on the brink of a
revolt. Then with that happy despotism
which oriental rulers can exercise, the
ameer came down on them with the
laundering command, Wash and
sprinkle chloride of lime or I'll cut your
heads off," This had the desired effect
and the Bokharians sulkily obeyed.
