The word 'jayhawker" became gen.
orally known during the war of the
rebellion from the application of it to
himself and his soldiers by Col. Jami.
son, of the Seventh Kansas. The ap
pellation passed from this regiment to
all Kansas soldiers, and was finally ap-
piled to the inhabitants of Kansas
themselves. The Kansas ''herd book"
gives the following story as the origin
of the name:
Early one autumn morning in 1856
Pat Devlin, noted character in Kan
sas in those days, was seen entering the
village of Ossawatomie, riding mule
loaded down with all sorts of articles.
A neighbor met him and said:
Good morning, Pat. You look as if
you had been out on some kind of Q,
foYaging expedition"
eyes; I've been out jayhawking.
"What do you mean by jayhawking,
Pat? l never heard of that word be-
fore"
"Wel1, I've been out foraging, and
while riding home on my baste be-
thought me of the bird we have in Ire
land we call the jayhawk, which takes
delight in worrying its prey before de-
vouring it, aud thought jayhawking

TWO KINDS OF THIRST.
The Natural Sort Differs From the Dry
ness Induced by Typhus.

The Natural Sort Differs From the Dry
ness Induced by Typhus.
Thirst is simply a sensation by which
a lack of fluids in the system is made
known, and in a state of health it is
a generally faithful indication of the
wants of the body. Natural thirst,
which must be distinguished from the
thirst caused by stimulating foods and
drinks or by fever, is first indicated by
a peculiar dryness of the mouth and
fauces, caused by the failure of the
Dharvngeal membrane to secrete a
due amount of liquids, but If fluids
were to be introduced directly into the
stomach through a tube, and not by
wav of the fauces-as has been done in
some unusual cases-the immediate alb
sorption thereof instantly allays the
sense of thirst, from which it has been
supposed that the sensation of thirst is
in the nerves of the stomach, and that
the throat sensation is kind of reflex
action,
However, this theory cannot be fully
accepted, thirst being a sensation
caused by the general want, which can
be supplied through the blood vessels
/
| the rectum of the skin, as well as
! through the stomach or thrOat. The
exhalations from the lungs and skin
and the kidneys and other secretaries
are effected principally at the expense
of water in the blood, which must be
restored to its normal amount or in
tense general Suffering follows.
A sudden loss of blood by the lancet
,r from a wound, or a rapid drain on
the vascular system, as in cholera or II
diabetes, also causes the intense sen
sation of thirst The thirst of fever, OF
the other hand, is not caused by the
lack of fluids in the system, but by th'
dryness of the throat, mouth and skin
caused by the unnaturally high tenn
perature Of the blood.-ChicaPo Int

Quite the correct thing for walking
wear is high-topped boot of black
with low, broad heel. The abominable
fad of torturous high heels has had it's
day, and on the street, at least, we
wear shoes with firm, steadying heels.
While enjoying the comfortable pretti-
ness of a tea gown the social dame or
demoiselle encases her feet in velvet
shoes. They are to be had in all the
art shades, and fancy may choose from
rare olives, rich sapphires, bronzes, old
blues, porcelain pinks, sunbeam tints,
and leaf tones. Unpretentious evening
slippers in bronze or plain kid are
sprinkled with jet or steel spots as
though they had been nailed, tiny
horseshoe buckles decking the instep.

Although Young She Seems to Have In
sight Into Human Nature.
The little Dutch Queen Wilhelmina
seems to be particularly bright ana
original little maiden. Not long ago
the queens mother gave her daughter
a collection of beautiful dolls dressed
accurately in the different uniforms of
the Dutch army, each regiment being
represented by all its officers from the
lieutenant up.
Of course the present was intended
to teach the little queen to know at a
glance the rank Of any officer and his
regiment.
''But they will bore themselves to
death if they have no ladies to talk
to-" said the little royal lady with wo-
man S nice instinct and diplomacy, and
accordingly her mother bought an
equal number of lady dolls dressed in
court costume to accompany the mill
tary men.
When affairs get in taugle in Will
helminas doll kingdom and dolls will
not be good at all, it is pathetic to hear
the child threaten to make the doll

A Ruined Wedding Cake.

An English gentleman residing in
Calcutta lately brought an action
against a firm of Paris pastry cooks
and confectioners under rather inter
esting circu instances. The plaintiff
was about to be married, and ordered
what has been called phenomenal
wedding cake from the defendants. A
sum of one hundred and twenty dol
lars was paid down for the cake on
delivery. The colossal and expensive
article of confectionery was packed by
the plaintiffs order, and he took it
with him to Calcutta. On opening the
C ase containing the cake when he ar
rive in India the Englishman found
that he had literally nothing but
shape less mass of crumbs. The splen-
did gateau had been hopelessly bruised
and broken during the voyage. An ac-
ton was then brought against the Paris
firm for sum of one hundred and thir-
tyfve dollars, which included, besides
the price paid for the cake, the cost of
packing and transport. The defend
ants maintained before the Paris tri-
bunal of commerce that they had no
more respon sibility after they had de-
livered over the cake to the person who
ordered it. 1t was true that they rec
commended a packer, but that expert
acted under the orders of another indi-
vidual, who had been selected bv the
plaintiff to superintend the operation.
The tribunal decided in favor of the de-
fendants.-Paris Letter to London Tel

BENTON, LOUISIANA, THURSDAY DECEMBER 2S 1898.

Watching their chance, they grabbed
their rifles when his back was turned,
and when he faced them he found him
self gazing into the muzzles of couple
of Winchesters, The poor creature
howlcd in agony and begged for his
life. The men took his revolvers and
then attempted to find out who he was.
But he would not say much, except
that he had been there for many years
and was servant of the great white
spirit
Franklin and Roberts were standing
with their backs to the entrance and
had lowered their rifles now that the
only man was unarmed. Their ques,
tioning was becoming tiresome when
suddenly the old man made a move
with his arms, and before the hunters
could realize what had happened the
entire herd of deer had jumped toward
them and knocked them down and be-
gan running out of the cave, tramping
on them as If they were so much dirt.
1t all happened so quickly and the
shock was SO great they were stunned
for a moment.
When the tramping ceased the men
jumped up and found they were alone
in the cave. Both were considerably
bruised, but managed to get to the en-
trance in time to see the herd vanish
ing over hill a few hundred yards
away. Whether the old man was with
them or not they couldn't tell. They
still had his revolvers, but he had dis
appeared. He must have gone with the
deer, as he was not in the back part of
the cave. They couldn't find him any
where around, and what became of him
they never knew.
The hunters felt that their expedi-
ton had not amounted to much, as they
had killed only one of the animals to
take back. But when they went to get
it they found that it had been thrown
into fissure forty or fifty feet deep in
the hillside. The sides of this were
covered with cactus, so that it would
have been almost impossible to have
got it even had they had ropes.
They came to the conclusion that the
old man must have thrown it down and
then concealed himself in some other
cave near by.
But they could find out nothing, and
started home empty-handed, trying to
console themselves that they had at
least seen the white deer of San Carlos
San Francisco Call.
