$4,000. Sheppard. it seems, has paid
Sl.0S9, but seems to show no disposition
to pay the remaining SOL.
Mrs. Sheppard is determined to get
the balance, and has brought suit to re-
cover on the agreement. She has also

ARE THEY SATISFIED?

The South Minneapolis Telegram
Grumbies About the High School
Site.
If the South Minneapolis Telegram be
reliable reflector of public sentiment,
the South siders are not entirely salts
fed with the site chosen for the new
high school. The current issue of the
Telegram says:
"The high school site has been
chosen. OF course it is not expected
that every one is entirely satisfied with
the location. We are heartily glad the
matter is Settled, although we are sure
that a Twenty-se cond street or Franklin
avenue site would please more people.
Before leaving the subject we must
draw attention to the peculiar friend
ship manifested by MIR. Norton, who
voted constantly for the Twenty-second
street site. until informed that Mr.. Aus
tin would on the next ballot vote for
that site and thus settle the matter.
As Mr.. Norton has the last vote, it was
in his power to cast the decisive ballot
for any site that had five votes before.
When the test came, and the site he
had been voting for steadily had the
five votes, he very strangely switched
off and defeated the Twentysecond
street site.''

'+One of the Queerest fishes in the

logist. at is native to the fresh waters
of Cochin China, Farther India, Java,
Sumatra and Borneo. Specimens have
been known to attain length of six
feet and a weight of 10 pounds. The
flesh is so delicious that efforts have
been made to acclimatize the creatures
in many other countries, but thus far
these attempts have been successful only
on the island of Mauritius.
About thirty of them were imported
into the island of Cuba and planted in
ponds some years ago, but, although
they grew and were healthy, they did
not breed. Accordingly, after awhile
the prospects of propagating the species
became so hopeless that the governor
had them served up one by one upon his
table upon state occasions. The same
difficulty has been met with elsewhere.

to the surface than they lifted a shout
of exultation, but the cable slipped back
again into the water and was lost. Then
for two weeks more they swept the sea
with the graphing hooks, and at last
they found the cable and they brought
it up in silence. They fastened it this
time. Then with great excitement they
took one end of the cable to the cleo
trician's room to see if there were really
any life in it, and when they saw spark
and knew that a message could be sent,
then every hat was lifted. and the rockets
flew, and the guns sounded, until all the
vessels on the expedition knew the work
was done and the continents were dashed
together.
Well. my friends. Sabbath after Sab
bath Gospel messengers have come
searching down for your souls. We
have swept the sea with the graphing
hook of Christ's Gospel. Again and
again we have thought that you were at
the surface, and we began to rejoice
over your redemption. but 1T the mo-
ment of our gladuess you sank back
again into the world and back again
into sin. Today we come with this Cos
pei searching for your soul. We apply
the cross of Christ first to see whether
there is any life left in you, while all
around the people stand, looking to see
whether the work will be done. and the
angels of God bend down and witness;
and oh! if now we could see only one
spark of love and hope and faith, we
would send up shout that would be
heard on the battlements of heaven, and
two worlds would keep jubilee because
communication is open between Christ
and the soul. and your nature that has
been sunken in sin has been lifted into
the light and the joy of the Gospel.

south of town, caught horned owl in a

from tip to tip of the wings. This noe
turnal prowler had been making requi-
sitions on his duck pen, 50 he set
two steel traps for his owlship and sue
ceeded in capturing him. The trap was
tied with fifteen feet of rope, and in his
desperate attempts to fly away with it
the owl had knocked several rails off the
fence. Mr.. Morton says it was the big

vuIite as a Fire Exttnguisher.

Vulite is a chemical compound, the
invention of Max Eberhardt, of Lucerne,
and is stated to be nine times more eff
fective than ordinary water in eXtin-
gushing fire, and among its other quail
tiles possesses the remarkable faculty of
rendering individuals virtually fireproof
The IMMUNITY with which the exhibitors
approached great masses of fame, and
appeared to be almost as if in their ma
tive element, was not the least remark
able feature of a display. With the
hands dipped in this solution burning
materials may be manipulated with per-
feet safety. The first experiment was
supposed to represent the upsetting of n
paraffine lamp, the oil flowing In a
stream over the tablecloth and immedi-
ately blazing up in furious flame. By
simply passing the hands over the burn
ing cloth this flame was speedily extin-
guished, although the table itself had
caught fire, and the exhibitor appeared
to be in no little danger.
In the next place a mass of pitch in a
small pit was ignited and allowed to get
thoroughly alight, the smoke and flames
rising up in volumes. The application
of two buckets of vulite had an almost
magical effect, the flames dying down
at once, while not only the fire but even
the heat arising therefrom entirely dis
appeared. The same result followed in
the case of a mass of burning rosin,
which, blazing up furiously, was in
simultaneously extinguished by bucket
full of the vulite.-New York Telegram.
