ONE of the most cruel men who ever
went to sea died in San Francisco a
few days ago. He was William Watts,
who gained notoriety by his atrocious
acts as first mate of the ship Gatherer
on hes voyage from New York to San
Francisco twelve years ago. He so
abused the sailors on this voyage that
four committed suicide and several
were made imbeciles. Watts received
only six years in San Quentin prison,
and President Cleveland pardoped him
after he had served two years. His real
punishment came after he was re-
leased, for he was Stunned as though
he were a leper, and whenever his
identity was discovered he was dis
charged. Almost daily it was forced
upon him that he was loathed for his
brutalities. His funeral was attended
only by his widow and enough men to
carry the coffin.

Man and the Elements.

The terrible fatalities that seem to
attend the cyclone and windstorm are
interesting and impressive, as tending
to show the inability of human
agencies to withstand the fury of the
elements. The strongest walls, the
best-arranged buildings and the most
sheltered locations seem inadequate
as means of protecting human life
against such casualties. Even the
.dug-out, that last resort of timid peo-
pie, has proved but the merest make
shift when the angry wind, twisting
and turning the trunks of huge tree,
carried it hundred yards and
crushed it through the roof of the
earthhouse in which the frightened
owners of the place had taken refuge.
The most approved craft that the in
genuity of man can construct is swal-
lowed up by one sweep of the raging
sea, and lightning deies all of the eff
forts of science to guard against it's
deadly bolts. A little study of the
elements and their power has de-
cided tendency to impress the mind
with the weakness of humanity and to
teach us how frail we are.

THE latest use for aluminium is for
street car tickets, and it must be con-
coded that the metal is singularly
adapted for the purpose. A Michigan
street railway has just made its first
issue of these light and ornamental
tokens, which are about the size of a
silver Quarter-dollar. One is round,
for the ordinary fare; the other octag-
onal for children. The adults ticket
is sold by the railroad company to the
public at the rate of six for a quarter
and the child's ticket at the rate of ten
for quarter. The company does not
allow its employees, either conductors
or motormen, to sell the tickets to the
public, but disposes of them in ten
dollar lots to the several storelleepers
who handle them exclusively.

The common hoop, once thought to
be the exclusive plaything of the fire.
quenters of the nursery, has risen to a
higher sphere of usefulness. 1t is no
uncommon sight to see a portly man
chasing a hoop round and round the
ring at a gymnasium. 1t is the latest
prescription by doctors for those clients
who are suffering from too much flesh
and who want to reduce their weight.
Pugilists and other gymnasts long ago
robbed the play-room of the skipping
rope and found it a most excellent
means of training and keeping off
superfuous flesh, but chasing the hoop
is less violent and muscles are kept in
action at the same time, and one can
cover more ground with less exertion
than by simply running around ring.

RECENTLY, says Helena paper. the
fnely-bred Gordon setter Faro, owned
by John Kepple, of Helena, Mont, en-
tered gambling house with ten
dollar bill in his mouth. Going to
one of the faro tables the dog dropped
it on the queen. To say that the sauve
dealer was surprised would be putting
it mildly. But recovering himself after
a few moments, he asked the dog if he
wanted copper on the ten dollars.
The dog parked as if in the affirmative,
so, placing a copper on the money, the
dealer made the turn. The queen came
up smiling loser, and the dog won.
Taking two ten-dollar bills in his
mouth, Faro gave them to his master.

Shortly after noon to-day, a very beauti-

the sun was seen to be encircled by a
bright halo, while to the right and left,
equidistant from the main orb blazed
two mock suns, or "sun-dogs" as they
are popularity known, each nearly as
brilliant as the central body, while far
above in the zenith a celestial artist had
