Tn, Sc. Cucumber.

Among the curious animals which in- habit the sea We may take the holo- thuria or sea cucumber, so called from it's resemblance to the cucumber. When this animal is attacked by an enemy it does not stand up and fight, but by sudden movement 1t ejects its teeth, stomach, digestive apparatus, and nearly all it's inteStines, and then shrivels it's body up to almost nothing. When, however, the danger is past, the animal commences to replace the organs which it has voluntarily parted with, and in a short time the animal is as perfect as ever it was.
 Dr. Johnstone kept one in water for long time and one day he forgot to change the water The creature in consequence ejected its intestines and shriveled up, but wien the water was changed, all its organs we're repro duced. Although the animal is not eaten in Europe, it is favorite with the Chinese. and the fishing forms an important part of the industry of the east. Thousands of junks are annually used in fishing for treparig. as the ami mals are called. London Tit-Bits.

Farmers who have entered the sere and yellow leaf period of fife have a quaint way of paying compliment. For instance, two Buffalo women vocalists took part in an entertain ment in a western New York town. After the show some of the'gray- heads were discussing the merits of the people, when one of them was overheard to say: Well, by goll, that gal that stood next to the feller with the big stummick she was purty good lookin, and could sing, but I'm durned if she had the spice of that ere other high screecher.

Itlnerant photocrnpher..

The photographer of the poor and humble used to be man who ran a gallery on wheels. In New York he is now a man who works the back streets very much after the fashion of an or gan grinder. He pays no rent. He plants his camera in front of small butcher shop or shoe shop or notion store. Then his assistant goes in and strikes bargain. To protest that no picture Is wanted does no good. The man takes it anyhow, saying, as last resort, that it won't cost anything. In a couple of days the finished pictures come around, and eff you want them you can have them for a quarter. !" Perhaps in four cases out of five the quarter is forthcoming. Asmart butch CT wagon or vain grocer's driver, a nice truck team or 6 brace of mules or a pet dog, they all come within this stealing photographers business. And on good days he picks up a neat sum of money. y.-New York Herald.

A Remarkable nishon.

In the Seventeenth century Bishop Wilson was sent to the Isle of Man then containing lawless and igno- rant community-with such unlim- ited power over clergy and people that it is a wonder he succeeded in doing good rather than evil. A ty- rant did he prove, but loving one, and all Manxnen today bless tho good bishops name. In time of fam inc he threw open his own house to the needy and gave without stint asking no man whether he were saint or sinner, but only if he hun gered
 When his own means were gone he begged from England, though he was, as one historian declares, "a man who would not have held out his hat to save his own life"
 He never desired preferment, but chung to his own thorny road with the zeal of one who has renounced material good for the love of the highest.
 ''See, my lords, said Queen Caro- line one day. as he approached the crowd of churchmen who surrounded her, ''here is a bishop who does not come for translation.
 No. please your majesty" said Wilson, II will not leave my wife in her old age because she is poor"
 His island was, indeed, a poor spot, but he had welded it for life Youths Companion.

EASILY TEaRiFlsp.
A Peculiar Weapon Used to subdue . Very Wicked Maine Citisen.


 Colonel Joe Peaks. of Dover, tells good story about an incident that en- livcned his early law practice. John Fuller was once sheriff in Pcnohscot county Afterward he was colonel of the Sixth Maine. and he was first in the ranks of the great untcrrifled all the way through
 ] One day in the epoch when Fuller was sheriff writ of replevin was placed in his hands 1t was to be served upon the TuiTs-that's as good a name as any. Now the Tuifs lived away out in a lonely district, and they were wicked citizens from the word go
 This writ of replevin was called out by horse trade in which the Tuffs had robbed a man of good beast under pretense of trading. Fuller was ex- pected to go over to the Tuffs' strong hold and bring away that horse.
 Colonel Peaks was a young lawyer in those days and he was not surprised when Fuller drove around and asked for his company upon a short business trip. After they had gone n shors dis tance Peaks asked:
 Where are you going, Fullerr
 ''0ver to old TufTs Going to re- plevin horse"
 Don't you expect to have troublef"
 Lots of it"
 I. ,ros ,,t ,v;ne, hut fbaro was no backing out. When they drove into the TufIs' dooryard a supernatural hush brocded over everything. House and barn were closed and no one was in sight Said Fuller:
 Now. Joe. turn the horse around and be ready to start on short notice when 1 come out of the stable. ex- pect to have to hurry this thing just little"
 The sheriff jumped over the wheel and made for the barn. He managed to get the door open and disappeared. In moment there came the tramping of a horse ard Fuller appeared at the tieup door leading the animal. At the same moment, too. brawny TufI came bursting through the kitchen door and ran savagely toward the sheriff.
 What in splittety blankeration yer duin with that horsef'
 I've got writ of replevin and I'm going to take him"
 Are ha-a-hF"
 Stand back. Turf. and let me pass or l won't answer for the conse. quences." gritted Fuller. and as he spoke he drew an ominous looking weapon from his breast pocket and pointed the muzzle at Turf The lat ter dodgci back and then danced in helpless rage. swearing with most tre- mendous and diverting energy, In an instant Fuller was in the carriage and of, towing the disputed horse behind. old Turf was left yelling and throwing rocks At the first hill they struck Fuller commenced to laugh and kick the dashboard.
 What on earth are you laughing atf' said Peaks, I'm blessed if saw anything co;nical about that scrape." Without word Fuller passed over the weapon that had so terrified old Turf.

2.99!!

This is an odd number. but we arc told there is luck in odd numbers. Certainly the man who gets the $2.99 shoe of M. A. Packard & Co. will be in luck. have just received ahberal consignment of these shoes in lace and congress for men and I have this to say about them: have handled boots and shoes for nearly 30 years, 20 years of which I have been engaged in manufacturing them and l have never seen as good shoe as this sold for less than $4.00. It is perfect in every detail for style, wear and comfort.
 I have also receiv ed a lot of the Little Rock" shoes for boys and youths, made by the same firm. This is the most perfect line for lit tie men that l have ever seen at medium price.
 Referring to a communication which I sent to Messrs. Packard & Co. with regard to advertising these goods, they say:
 We do no advertising of any kind, preferring to put all our money into the shoe itself instead of newspaper advertising. We will give you the VERY best shoe we can for the money and hope to hear from you often with orders. Yours very truly,
 NJ. A. PAcxARD q Co.,
 Hoping that everyone who sees this notice will decide to put my judgment in regard to these shoes to the test, am very truly,

The Red Seed of the Abru. Preea.orIu.

~"c ssca otto ot eht abfus
 The small shining rcd seeds of Abrus precatorius are largely used by the ln- dian goldsmiths as weights, each weigh ing about 1.75 grains It is stated that the famous koh-i-nur diamond was first weighed by the rati, a word which by some authors is supposed to have given origin to the jewellers carat, from the Arabic kirat. The carat is the twenty fourth part of an ounce, or 3 1-6 troy grains; this approximately would be equal to two of these seeds.
 They arc sometimes called crabs eyes. from a fancied resemblance to those objects; and in the West Indies are known as jequirity seeds, being ex- tensively used for necklaces. ornaments for the ears, and to decorate small boxes baskets. etc. Strung as neck laces they are considered teething remedies for young children. The fact of these being used as rosaries doubt less suggested the specific name of 'precatorius. ."-Chambers' Journal.

FAMILY TROUBLES OVER
Gun-Maker Hotchkiss' Heirs Reach
an Agreement.
A DIG SUIT COMPROMISED.
Tie Litigants Were the Dead Inventors
Brothers and sisters-It is Believed
that the Disinherited Son has Received
a Good Portion of His Claim.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, March s.-The suit
begun in April, 1888, contesting the will
OF the late Benjamin Berkeley Hotchkiss.
the widely known inventor Of the Hotch-
kiss rifle and cannon, has been settled
and the case has been withdrawn from
court. In the amount involved and in
the complications resulting, the case is,
perhaps, one OF the greatest OF its kind
ever brought in this state.
The litigants are brothers and sisters OF
the dead inventor. BY agreement the
terms of settlement are withheld from
the public. When Hotchkiss died his
only direct heirs were his father, Asahel
A. Hotchkiss of Sharon, Conn, and his
mother. Subsequently Hotchkiss senior
died and left all OF his estate, which in
cluded about 81, 900 600 received from his
son, to three OF his children, but cut of
fourth, Charles A. Hotchkiss, of this
city, without a cent.
&. A. Hotchkiss and his wife imme-
diately brought the suit mentioned,
claiming 81 400 900 as his share of his
fathers estate. The case has been in the
Connecticut courts for nearly five years
and almost every legal device known to
lawyers has been resorted to in its con-
duct. -
The general belief in this city Is that
Mr.. &. A. Hotchkiss has been allowed a
good portion OF his claim. When seen
today he refused TO talk about the exact
figure OF settlement, but seemed perfectly
satisfied.

Prof. Henry b. Gardner of Brown, de-
livered his first lecture in Manning Hall
last night upon 'The System of State and
Local Taxation
Referring to the present system of
property tax, the speaker said that its
most notable defect is that personal
property does not bear its full share of
the burden, since the actual amount Of
personal property is not always listed
The other theory of taxation is that taxes
are a part of the duty of each individual
TO serve the State to the best of his abil
ity. This theory would make taxes pro-
portionate TO income The property tax,
therefore, Is neither equitable nor expedi-
ent.
