A Baby's Foot in a Sea She'll.

George w. Fox, of Redwood city,
Cal, has in his possession one Of the
most remarkable Curiosities ever found
on the Pacific Coast-nothing more or
less than an abalone shell, in the interi,
or of which, firmly enCased in the pear
ly shell secretion, there is a baby's shoe
and stocking The shape is perfect in
every particular, but the size indicates
that the owner Of these pedal coverings
was a very young child, The sole Of
the shoe and the toe, badly worn and
red from long continued soaking,
can be plainly seen when the secretion
has not entirely enveloped it. The
stocking is not visible, however.
Threads of the wool can be drawn from
the pearly encasement by using a GRO
Chef hook or even a bent pin. The
buttons are covered with abalone, look
ing like pendant pearls set in row
down the side of this odd-shaped shell.
The little tassel can still be plainly
seen, as can also the hole where one OF
the buttons has been pulled out. There
is but one tenable solution that can be
given in explanation of this sea-shell
mystery. The body of drowned in
FAINT was being carried along by the tide
when the foot passed into the abalone
shell, which, of course, instantly closed
like vice, Then the imprisoned foot
was held until severed from the body
by decay; in the meantime the shell
fish was busily engaged in covering
shoe, stocking and foot with its pearly
secretion

ed in the Dark.

co III tne LARK,
One of the men who figured conspic-
uously in the pioneer days of Neb.
raska was Colonel Peter A. Sarpy, dis.
tinguished Indian trader and member
of the famous American Fur Company.
An old settler tells the following story
about this eccentric pioneer Colonel
Sarpy preferred the freedom of prairies
to the society of civilized life, and spent
a great deal of his time in visiting Oma
ha wigwams near the old trading posts
He was regarded by the Omahas as
their Nekagahhe or big chief In fact
he married an Omaha woman, Mako
ma, to whose intercessions he was more
than once indebted for the preserva
ton of bis life when attacked by Indi.
ans.
One night a crowd of frontiersmer
were gathered in the store of Colone
Sarpy and the conversation turned upon
the treatment Of the Indians.
Sarpy portrayed in glowing colors
the noble traits of the redmen, and the
injustice heaped upon them by the
whites.
A tall, gaunt-looking specimen owe
in the corner, who was busily engaged
in whiting, listened with considerable
interest. He suddenly looked up and
interrupted the speaker
"This yere talk about the Indians as
good and as brave may suit you-trad-
ers who have been swapping gewgaws
for their valuable buffalo robes and
stealing their annuities, but have lived
among them, too, l want you to under.
stand, and I'll be hanged if they are
not lying, thievlng race Of dogs, who
don't know the difference from right
and wrong. The sooner they are killed
off the better it will be for the country"
This was too much for Sarpy. He
advanced to the front of the speaker
and interrupted him in an excited
manner. "Do you know whom l am,
sir ?" he asked, with considerable EN-.
phasis. 81 am Peter A. Sarpy, sir If
you want to fight, sir, am your man,
sir can whip the devil, sir Choose
your weapons, sir Bowie.knife, shot
gun or revolver, sir Pm your man,
sir a"
Here the speaker, by way of EN-.
phasis to his remarks, snapped his
pistol at the lighted candle on the
table, about three PAGES away, and all
were left in total darkness. The
stranger availed himself of this oppor-
tunity to make his exit by the side
door, being unwilling to serve as a tar
get for the unerring marksman, who
would probably have eXtinguished him
in a similar manner.

Japanese Beliefs.

The Japanese believe in more myth
ical creatures than any other people
on the globe, civilized or savage
Among these are mythical animals
without any remarkable pecuiarities of
conformation, but gifted with super
natural attributes such as the tiger
which is said to turn as white as polar
bear on the date of his Tooth birthday.
They also believe in species of fox
which if it lives to be fifty years old
without having been chased by a dog,
transforms himself into a beautiful
woman. This same fox, if he can
manage to live for a century, gains ad.
ditional powers, such as becoming
wonderful wizard, etc. When he lives
to be 1000 years old he becomes a
Celestial Fox" with nine golden tails,
and has the power of going to Heaven
and returning whenever he chooses.
These laps believe in a multitude of
animals distinguished by their mon,
strous size or by multiplication of their
members, Among these are serpents
500 feet long and large enough to swal-
low an elephant; boxes with eight legs;
monkeys with four ears and seven tails;
fishes with ten heads attached to one
body, the flesh of this last monster be-
ing a sure cure for boils, bites Of
poisonous serpents, hydrophobia, etc.
They also believe in the existence of a
crane which, after it has reached the
age of 600 years, has no need of any
sustenance except water. Their myth.
ical dragon has the head of a camel,
the horns of a deer, the eyes Of a
demon, the ears Of an OK, the body of
a serpent, the scales of fish and the
claws and wings of an eagle,

The beauty Of the Administration
building rotunda is being marred slowly
but surely. First came a guidebool
stand; then cigar and tobacco showcases
obtained footing. and last. but not
least, is the alleged model of the
treasury building at Washington. which
is being constructed of pine, blue cheese
cloth and Columbian half dollars.
The wooden base on which the coins
are being glued is extremely inartistic
itself, but the man vino made it evident
ly failed to take into consideration the
size of the half dollars. and tine coins are
being cut into all sorts of shapes and de-
faced in every conceivable manner to
make them fit and hide the lumber.
There are $40 windows in the thing,
and each window represents at least five
mutilated coins, entailing a loss of ST.
700. To make ali the edges and corners
Of the porticoes, verandas and cornices
strnight will necessitatc the spelling of
1900 moro coins.
The whole thing, from the coarse iron
fence TO the tin window frames, is an
eyesore, and none is quicker to recog-
nize this fact than the visitors from the
country, for whose delectation the thing
is being built.-Chicago Tribune.

Eject of a ,entlmen,ar song.

Mr.. Whitehead is tinsmith in
Wcaverville. His wife's name is Ann,
and Ann and the tinsmith have never
got along very well together. Mrs.
Martin and Mrs. Whitehead. so the
story goes, became quite chummy. There
was piano in the tinsmith's house, and
Mrs. Martin was in the habit of playing
"The Old 0aken Bucket" The man OF
solder rather liked it at first. But when
Mrs. Martin continued to thrum ont the
same tune day after day it got kind of
tiresome. He demonstrated with Ann.
but the wife told him to mind his pots
and kettles and not TO meddle with
music.
One day the tinsmith lost all patience
and went mp stairs, and after dancing a
jig on the keys wound up by smashing
the instrument MI to pieces, ending the
performance by remarking. ITO -
