Strange but True.

Water will quench thirst, of course.
Ice melting slowly in the mou tn, is
even more refreshing, but a queer
fact is that eating snow will make
you thirstier than ever. Explorers OF
the Attic regions tell us that the
natives prefer enduring the utmost
extremity of thirst rather than at.
tempt to remove il by eating snow.
The lobster IS greatly In dread of
thunder, and when the peals are very
loud numbers of them drop their
claws and swim away for deeper
water Any great fright may also in
duce them to drop their claws. But
new claws begin at once to grow, ana
in short time are as large as the old
ones. and covered with hard shells
The lobster often drops its shell. when
it hides until the new shell is hard
enough to protect it.
If an ostrich feather be held up

and equal on both sides, it's stem
dividing it exactly in the centre;
whereas the stems of all other feath-
ers are more or less on one side.
The ancient Egyptians, oOservant
of this, chose the ostrich feather as
the sacred emblem of truth and JUS
tice.
open the hand naturally and place
a copper cent on the palm, then ask
some one to brush it out with whisk-
broom. After repeated efforts it will
probably be suspected that the cent
is fastened i'm your hand in some way.
In order TO prove thatit is not, let the
sweeper place it on his own palm, and
he will find that it remains as inn
movable there as when he tried to
sweep it from the hand OF the other
person. A few persons have flat
palms. The cent may easily be swept
off such palms, but they are not COM
mon.

Some Wealthy Indians.

Special indian commissioners are
now alloting lands to the Banning
Indians in southern California, and iG
is said that the Indians will be the
wealthiest community in that sec
ton, Each man, woman and child in
the tribe will receive ten acres
of land, described as the finest
fruit land in that section, and
with sufficient supply of water.
A competent authority says that
the lands are worth $3.50 an acre. In
addition TO these lands, allotted in
ssverally, are some 5000 acres of pas
ture land, with water, which will be
held in common by the village.
The Indians are industrious and
thrifty.

TRIED TO KILL HIS WIFE.
Failing in His Effort, an Aged
Missouriah Blows His Brains

Out.
Great excitement prevails in the
town of Maitland, Mo-, over the sui
eide of Joseph EnsOr, one of the
wealthiest and most prominent citi-
zsns of Northwest Missouri, who
attempted to kill his wife, one morn
ing lately.
EnsOr who is 70years old, got up
and dressed himself, and went into
the kitchen. His wife was attracted
by his queer actions, and followed
She found her husband loadin g re-
vOlver, and as soon as he saw her ne
pointed the weapon at her, aud said
81 will kill you" AS Ensor fired
his wife through MP her arm ana
was shot through the hand. Ensor
then GnreW the revolver DOWN, and
-eized ID shotgun. Mrs EnsOr started
to run across the street to a neigh
Uor's when Ensor fred again but the
charge went wide of it's mark.
The old man returned 10 the house
and, after seating himself in a chair,
deliberately placed the muzZle of the
gun in his mouth, and pulled the
trigger. His head was literally torn
from the body.
EnsOr's mind has been unbalanced
for some time. Three years ago his
first wife died, and he married again
in less then two years. The second
union was not a happy one, and the
thought that this young women
married him only for his money,
worked upon the old mans mind,
until his friends were convinced that
ne had become insane, although he
never attempted to harm any body,
until tn is occasion.

He Makes TarIn; Reciprocity and Cur
rency the Issues.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept 7.--Chairman
Manley, of the republican state com
mittee, has received letter from Hon.
James G.. Blaine, dated Bar Harbor,
September 8, in which he states that he
will be unable to deliver speeches in the
coming campaign, but takes the liberty
Of submitting his views on the issues
which he regards as being strongest for
the republicans to urge before the
people.
Mr. Blaine argues that the issue OF
the greatest consequence is the tariff
on imports, and it will continue to be
until a settlement is effected by ma
iority SO large that it will be tanta-
mount to general acquiescence.
He then goes into defense of the Nc
Kinley bill and elaborates on his own
idea of reciprocity, concluding as fol-
lows:
"The scheme is very plain and very
simple. 1t secures valuable trade in
exchange for articles otherwise destined
to be put on the free list. The demo-
cratic party thinks it can discredit it.,
and it makes the effort apparently for
the unpatriotic reason that it did not
originate it,"
Mr. Blaine makes the third issue that
of the national currency, and closes his
letter in this language:
1.-THE three issues which 1 have given
are the issues upon which 1 would ar
raign the democratic party. 1 would
not multiply issues or be diverted by
our opponents from steadfast adher-
ence to, and constant presentation of,
these questionsub the people, until
every voter is made to know and under
stand their true and weighty signif-
cance."
