One of the most curious expeditions ever
planned by man was that once undertaken
by DIR. j. q. Bunting of Portland. During
all his life he had been close student OF
the philosophy of digestion, and for the
purpose of his Investigations he had that
remarkable Canadian, Alexis St. Martin,
in his care for 20 years.
In order to cinch matters and provide
facts for some of the doubling Thomases,
DR.. Bunting cast about for some one else
upon whom he might coptnue to expert
ment lie could think Of but one plan, and
that was to 90 into Africa, buy two slaves
and operate upon their stumaChs. BY open.
ing the body near the fifth rib and per
forating the stomach II condition could be
produced similar to that existing in the
person of ST, Martin. Therefore the doctor
purchased his supplies and sailed across to
Tunis in the north OF Africa. There he
hired native chief with 30 of his follow
ers, paying them a liberal retaining fee aud
promising allurlng larsrsS when the trip
should he ended.
They set forth. The doctor carried 81 900
in his inside pocket and HE chief probably
lay awake four nights thinking about the
matter. At any rate on the fifth night he
sneaked into the doctors tent and delivered
little address over the muGzles of Two pis-
tolls. When lie had concluded, the doctor
passed over his ducats, and the chief passed
over the border along with his renegade
band. They helped themselves to such sup
plies as suited their artless and uuenlight-
eued tastes. The doctor came back with.
out n retinue, but with a deal of experience
that will never appear in a medical work.

For some time tho larger school
boys passing to aud from school
lnAar the market house, have been in
the hnbit of pushing each other vi
against the produce and frequently
upsetting 1t. The old saying. "a
pitcher going too often to the well
will get broken" is shown very rorci'
bly, in this case.
A few mornings ago the fighting
partner OF a well-known firm was on
hand. In the distauce came five school
boys yelling and roughly handling
each other. When they reached oppo
site this produce dealers. one OF them
deliberately overturned basket OF
apples.
The gentleman said. "Boy. pick those
lnpples up" His reply was, NO.
won't" Quick as flash the dealer had
his hand on the boy's throat. and In q
voice which showed that he meant It,
he hi-sed. "Pick those apples up" Ii
10 needless to say the apples were
picked up at once, and the schoo
boys went OFF with all the fun fright
lened out OF them. Now tiils side q
the street is not travelled upon BY
them: they have boycotted it.

The odd fact is that mans mind Is

In the Court House last night Oscsy
Doelzer's bail bond Of SIC, 900 VIVA re-,
duced TO $500 on habcns cornus
brought by William 8. Hllles, lie
counsel.
The prisoner was the first witness.
He said on Easter Monday. 1880 Ee
went to Mrs. Reinike's house. That
was the day she charged him with
making the assault. lie said that
eight weeks afterward Reinike. hrd
threatened to shoot him because OF
the alleged crime.
Bernerd Fenstei said he boarded
with Mr.. Doelzer and had seen Mre.
heinike at his house frequently. He
had also hoard Reinike threaten to
shoot Doelzer. Bernard Hohlfeldt said
he had threatened Mrs. Relnlke and
said he would toll what happened be-
tween Doelzer and her. She begged
him not to do 30 and said her husband
would bo very angry. He threatened
to tell the story because his wife and
MIR, Reinike had said what happened
was as much her fault as 1t was
, Doelzer's.
Mrs. Reinike said, she would have
withdrawn tho suit out OF sympathy
Tor Doelzsr, but II she did withdraw all
reflections on her character must be
said to be false. She said tho way her
husband found out about the affair be-
tween her and Doelzer was that he
owed some bills and he found 1t out.
He began to talk to her about 1t, and
she misunderstanding him made q
clean breast OF tho Doelzer affair. Mr..
Reinike's testimony was about finding
out about the alleged outrage, and
agreed with that OF his wife. The

He wlled 800 TO his nephew.

NATURE NEVER NlooARDLv.
Whom We Exhaust One OF Her storehousss,
She Immediately Opens Another.

WHOM We Exhaust One OF Her storehcusss,
She Immediately Opens Another.
Il Is we'll known to everybody that the
seeds Of the cotton plant were for many
years regarded as waste and worthless ma
terial. Millions Of tons Of them have been
thrown away, and one of the perplexities
Of the cotton planter was how to get rid Of
this enormous bulk Of stuff that had no
market value.
Within a recent date, however, cotton
seed has become utilized, and instead Of
being useless IL has come to be we'll nigh
priceless. II furnishes an oil which can be
used for mechanical purposes and is easily
salnble as good and cheap substitute for
olive oil. From 5000, 900 to 5000, 900 tons of
seeds are produced every year, and the
planter finds in it very fortunate addition
to his profits.
But still further use has been discov-
cred. An English inventor recently found
way to convert this Gil into rubber, and a
large number of factories in the United
States are making out of it substance
which is likely in the near future to GUST
from the market the yubber product of the
Caribbean coast.
Nature is never niggardly, and when we
| clear out one Of her storehouses she imme-
diately opens the door of another. Our
| whaling fleets 80 years ago represented one
| OF our most important industries. Nan
tucket and New Bedfori grew rich and
| prosperous, sent out scores of vessels on
long voyages, sometimes of two or three
years.
| But whales grew scarce, and we wondered
what would become of us. The whaling
craft rotted at the wharves, because it was
:. no longer profitable to man them. Then
some lucky fellow, digging well in Penn
sylvania, found to his surprise that oil gush
ed out instead of water, and all the world
wondered. Other wells were sunk, com
panies were formed and colossal fortune:
were amassed. The whales could be dis
pensed with, for under every mans farm IL
certain localities was an inexhaustible res
ervoir of the precious fluid.
And now We are told that this Who'll,
delta of the Mississippii is composed of mut
which is valuable as fertilizer The sol
is u rich deposit, which has been brough
by the lazy current for 1000 miles, is tn
gift of every state through which the rive
flows, and some years, or some generation
hence, it will prove a bonanza to its own
ers. We ship fertilizers from distant quar-
tiers of the globe, and they are as market
able as wheat or corn. The demand i
steadily on the increase, and it is not i'm
probable that the acres of black loan a
the mouth Of our lordly river will b
shipped for the enrichment of northern
farms.
All this seems very odd, but at the sam
time it is very interesting New Yorl
