A Beggar Bandit.

In Rome there is much talk about an
old beggar who used to frequent the
doors of the Church of the Minerva, and
who, dying lately, was found to be pos
sessed of $40, 200, which he had left by
properly drawn.up will to his three
children, who were completely ignorant
of their fathers wealth. l read this
paragraph in an English journal, and
really could not but feel thankful that
the old man succeeded in piling up such
snug little fortune. He made the
square in front of the Hotel Minerva his
headquarters for over a quarter OF
century, and he had way of taking
every stranger who lived in the hotel
that was irresistible. To reach the
Corso from the hotel one had to pass at
least twenty ragged rascals of all sizes
and sexes, and if the old man had not
been squared with centissimo OF So you
had quite an ordeal in running the gaunt-
let. But having given the old man
pittance, the road was then clear for the
rest of the day, and never a beggar
troubled you. I always found it the
best way thus to keep the army of Ro
man beggars at pleasant distance, and
the blessings that used to be showered
on my head every morning by the whole
crowd as I passed along seemed we'll
worth the price of three or four cents

Poisoned BY Tropical Fish.

When the British steamship Yorker
arrived at Marseilles from Rangoon the
Captain reported that several Of his
crew had died in terrible agony after
partaking of some fish which had been
caught in tropical waters. In these re.
gions many fish are found which at Ger.
tain seasons, or it may be in the case OF
some, species always, are exceedingly
poisonous when used as food. This is
especially the case with such fish as feed
on medusee and on certain coral banks.
Experts assuss us that great caution has
to be observed in. eating fish caught in
tropical waters, and too much attention
cannot be bestowed on the warnings OF
those whose expericnc. of the fish found
in various neighborhoods enables them
to say which should be avoided as srti-
cles of diet. This subject is fully dig.
cussed in some of the earlier chapters OF
Gunter's Fish," copy of which is to
be found in the library of the Royal
College of Surgeons. The Lancet.

King of Land and Sea.

A steamer recently arrived at Seattle,
Washington, from Alaska brought from
that icy country the skeleton OF q
whale lizard, the second of its kind
known to be in existence. The other
was found some years ago near Oxford,
England, but is much smaller than this
one. 1t is now in the British Museum.
The whale lizard is described in natural
history as ''the king OF the land and
sea-" doubtless from the fact that it was
equally at home on land or In the water.
In water its speed was terrific; it swan

Huniins Lions and BuffnIos.

A we'll known traveller in Africa says
that in one of his long journeys he came
across the dislocated skeleton of buf.
falo almost intermingled with the broken
bones of lion. the skull OF which was
lying near, while the skull of the buff
falo was near at hand, but devoid Of the
nasal bones. The ground evidently was
the scene of desperate combat in which
both animals had succumbed.
1t is common practice among lions,
this gentleman says, to hunt in COM
pany. A friend of mine in South Africa
had peculiar example of this. HIS
friend V - had wounded bull buffalo,
which had retreated within the forest.
The two hunters carefully followed the
blood track, but after a short advance
were startled by q succession of loud
roars, which betokened lions close at
hand.
There could be little doubt that the
wounded buffalo. had been attacked.
Therefore, with proper precaution, they
approached the spot until an exciting
scene presented itself suddenly on the
other side of large fallen tree, which
happily concealed the approach of the
two hunters. ''''
Three lions were engaged in lfe-
and-death combat with the gallant old
bull, who made desperate defense, first
knocking over one OF his enemies, then
goring another to the, ground, and ex-
>hibiting strength which appeared suf-
fcient to defeat the combination.
Suddenly the buffalo fell dead. This
was-the result of the original wound, as
the rife bullet had passed through the
lungs.
The lions were not aware of this, and
began to quarrel among themselves about
their imagined victory. One huge beast
reared to half its height and placed its
. fore paws upon the body of the PROSTATE
buffalo, while at tie head and hind
quarters an angry lion clutched the dead
body in its spreading paws, and growled
at the possessor Of the centre. This
formed a grand picture within only a
few yards distance, but two rife shots
stretched two lions rolling upon the
ground, and the third bounded into the
thick covert and disappeared. New

Isleta contains about 1000 inhabitants.
They arc industrious, and. except on
feast and fete days, uniformly sober
people. They pursue agriculture-cul-
tivating mainly corn, beans, pumpkins
and fruits. They have their little
patches of one, two and three acres,
which are irrigated by bitches which
tap the "raging" Rio Grande. Each
patch is "fenced" in by an adobe wall
about three feet in height. These
patches have been cultivated for CELL
turies, as the old crumbling walls bear
evidence. The walls are to prevent the
depredations of stock, which they also
raise, each farmer having COW and a
horse and few sheep.
At several commanding positions IN
the village an Indian is seen on the flat
roof, and sentinel is invariably seen
upon the roof of the church-she high.
est building in the village. These senti-
nels are not armed and looking for the
advancing enemy, as was their duty for
centuries, but are keeping vigil over
the surrounding fields. Should tres
passer enter--either a small boy or a
marauding animal--a signal is given by
signs, and the rancher is soon in his
patch hurling rocks at the invader, and
he invariably carries pocketful for that
purpose.
In addition to agriculture, they make

and all the water that is used is brought
from there and sold by the carers at

lrterial Blood Flow.

One of the most interesting of the
new psyche physiological instruments is
the plethysmograph, which indicates the
least flow of blood in the arteries of the
arm. By means OF it observers have
found that when the sentence of the
Judge is read before criminal there is
a decrease in the flow of blood in the
arm, but that the sight of glass of
wine increases the flow. Again, when
it is required to perform an arithmetical
calculation, to multiply, for example,
nine times seventy-three. an increase OF
blood flow is the result. The flow is
little affected in brutal murderer or
born criminal when pistol IS shown to
him, whereas in the normal man the ple-
thysmograph indicates decided effect.

as to the nervous and physical nature OF

the clothes they wear, which is not a
great task-weaving the cloth and dress
ing the skins for their shoes, leggings
and pantaloons.
They also make large quantities OF
earthenware resembling stone, and IN the
shape of ANIMALS, "hand painted with
curious designs and figures. Heaps OF
wild thyme and rushes are set on fire and
reduced to ashes; water and earth are
thrown upon the hot ashes, when the
consistency is kneaded and formed into
any desirable shelre, Women generally
do this work, while the men serve as
the hewers of the wood and bring the
water.
The pottery factory is located in the
"basement," entrance to which is made
by means of ladder through trap door
in the roof. This was the custom CEN
turies ago. As a means of protection
from surprise by the enemy there were
no doors to the houses, and when per.
son called on his neighbor, after looking
through hole or the blinds to see VINO
it was, ladder was let down, which the
caller would climb, when the ladder was
drawn up after him.
The plan of construction of these
houses has never been changed. The
houses are built in common, and IN com
partments, as French flats, but instead
of pushing the button the caller stands
outside and gives war-whoops until he
arouses the host. Only those houses or
compartments fronting on street have
windows, and these are very small and
grated like the lookout port holes OF q
Mexican Jail. In the construction OF
these houses no lime is used. The
adobes are cemented with the mixture of
ashes, charcoal and earth, seemingly
more lasting than cement, enduring for
centuries. The families live peaceablv
on this community plan, and rarely in
dulglng in the "neighborly quarrsls"
usual with their pale-faced brethren. 1t
Is very seldom that brave strikes his
wife.
The city government is conducted in
dependently Of any other Of the Pueblo
villages. Each village has its. own
separate governments free republic in
itself. The spaniards found about three
hundred thousand Indians and about
two hundred villages in what is now New
Mexico and Arizona. When the United
States took possession of this country
less than half century ago-there were
about one hundred and twenty thousand
Indians and about one hundred villages.
Now there are not more than thirtV-hve
thousand of these poor Los and about
twenty-five villages.
Long before Columbus sailed from
Palos IN search of a new world this In
dian village - Isleta - was ancient.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The heart writes i:s lines on the face.
Modern society acknowledges nc
neighbor.
Prudence, like experience, must be
paid for.
Just praise is only debt, but lattery
is present.
A single grateful thought is the most
complete prayer.
The interest you in others take, that
interest they will take in you.
Business dispatched is business well
done,' but business hurried is business
ill done.
The object of punishmentis is prevention
from evil; it never can be made impulsive
to good.
Everywhere the flower of obedience is
intelligence. Ooey a man with cordial
loyalty and you will understand him.
There is no passion which steals into
the heart more imperceptibly and covers
itself more under disguises than pride.
Some one has we'll said: "It is the
business of the prophet TO- proclaim
truth. and let that truth crystalline as it
will"
To know how to grow old is the
master work of wisdom, and one of the
most difficult chapters in the great art of
living. ....
All the good of which humanity is
capable is comprised in obedience. You
have no choice. This you must do, and
not otherwise. Whatever is not a duty
is sin.
Truth is always consistent with itself
and needs nothing to keep it out. It is
always near at hand, and sits upon our
lips and is ready to drop out before we
are aware; whereas lie is troublesome
and sets the telier's invention on the
rack, and one trick needs a great many
more to make it good.

a barrel with what used to be called
furniture calico, but is now sold under

for this purpose, and explains how t"
transform one into the neat and handy

break off all nails that project both on
the inside and outside. Line the inside
of the barrel with smooth brown paper,

costs mouey too. The other week whole

for the imperial royal table, even to the

eight enormous leather trunks, in which
were slowed away the wine glasses of

tourists at the hotels at prices regulated
by the verdancy of the sightseer.
Dressed, or rather undressed, in their
seemingly quaint costumes, they attract
immediate attention from the open
mouthed and wonder stricken tourist,
who laughs at and ridicules everything
he is not accustomed to see in his own
bailiwick. At the depot grounds, es-
pecially when the trains come in, the
fruit and pottery vendors assemble in
full force, and generally do a land flee
business in selling to the tourists.
The Indian maidens are dressed in
their brightest colors, and some of them
would be pretty if they did not daub their
faces with red paint. They are special
objects of mirthful interest to the ladies
on the trains, who criticise the scant
costumes of the Pueblo maidens very
narrowly. The Indian women no doubt
reserve their criticism of the "paleface
squaws" until after they have sold their
fruits and wares.
The Indian braves bring in bales of
chill and rushes on burros, or what are
called "narrow gauge mules" Rushes
are used for light fires or for kindling.
The burros are invariably we'll loaded,
not only in weight but in bulk-only the
ears left sticking out. The chilli and
rushes are compactlY and securely baled,
and when loaded the head of the burro
is turned toward Albuquerque, he is
given kick, and he and the brave jog
along to the city. After disposing of
his load the Indian mounts the burro
and rides back to the village.
Frequently the burro has an extra
passenger. The Indian maiden who has
disposed of her grapes accepts the hos
pitality of her lover and rides behind
him, weighing down and almost cover
ing from view the patient little animal.
Those who are not fortunate enough to
have lovers with burros must walk back
to 1sleta. But to tramp fourteen miles
in the morning and fourteen miles in the
evening is with an Indian only matter
of recreation.

In this valley-now called the Rio
Grande-the Pueblos had their vii
lage and enjoyed "semi-barbarous
civilization" in the pursuit of agriculture.

White Foxes.

A Vancouver furrier was exhibiting a
short time ago what he claimed were the
pelts of five white foxes. The man is an
expert naturalist, and has been dealing
in furs in the Northwest for forty years.
He says these are the first white foxes
he ever heard of, but he is absolutely
sure the pelts are genuine fox skins.
The conformation has been carefully
preserved, and the big brush is, of course,
attached. The fur is snow white, spot
less and beautifully soft. The turrier
bought them from a seal.hunter who
caught the foxes at the last station to
the north of Eastern Siberia, several
hundred p.:les north of Petropaulovsky.

The 10 y cad.

It has been suggested that as skins
and hides formerly did duty as bottles
and vessels for carrying wine and other
liquors, the hogshead or hogshide was
originally barrel of the same capacity
as liquor containing vessel made of the
skin or hide Of hog. Others think it
may have been "oxhide'' from which the
word was derived. As the Dutch and
Scandinavians called this kind of cask
by some equivalent OF oxhide, there is
some probability that this may be the
true origin of the word.-House Fur
