A Girl Who Breaks Wild Horses,

Miss Edith Dadami is slip of girl who
lives on her fathers farm near Collinsville,
in Solano county. She il II years old, 5
feet l u inches high and weighs 1913 pounds.
Beyond this she has no more than the
average woman's share of beauty and the
strength and grace which come with per-
feet health OF course there are other girls
in the Montezuma hills, but none can ride
horse like Miss Dadami and when it
comes to throwing a lasso most of the
young men take off their broad brimmed
hats to her and stand in respectful admira-
ton.
In the matter of strength this 1913 pound
girl occasionally picks up a 1876 pound sack
of barley and losses it into wagon just for
the fun of the thing. Some years ago Miss
Dadami took fancy to an unbroken horse
in her fathers herd. Jumping on a mus
tang she, cut out the wild animal, drove
him into the corral, secured him in a cor
ner, saddled him, mounted his back and
turned him loose. He plunged, reared,
kicked and bucked, but all to no purpose,
| for the plucky girl held her seat and mas
| tered him completely.
She is an expert herder, going among the
horses and cattle with all the reckless dar-
ing of a typical cowboy She knows the
market rates of poultry, hogs and grain,
can tell the value of a horse by looking at
him and cook a meal or milk a COW with
| equal facility.
But with all this she is an easy CONVEX
sationist sings prettily, has delicate
touch on the piano, uses u painters brush
and palette with much skill and has a great
local reputation as needlewoman, and
with it all, she has found time to fall in

Wonderful Marine Plants.

The diatoms, of which there is an infinite
number of forms and species, belong to the
seaweed family and are microscopic organ
isms of wonderful shapes and rare beauty.
They are single celled plants and are with
out doubt the most minute representatives
Of the vegetable kingdom. Most plants are
but an aggregation of an immense num-
Der of cells of greater or lesser diameter,
but as above limited the diatom Is but a
single CELL and this SO minute that 5000 OF
the spindle shaped variety, laid end to end,
scarcely suffice to make one inch!
The living plant is beautiful object OF
microscopic study. but it is not to be com.
pared with the delicate skeleton Of prop
erly prepared specimen. They are found
in every imaginable shape and form-circu
lar, oblong, fiat and square, cubical, watch
shaped, oval, triangular, wedge shaped
crooked, screw or corkscrew shaped, like
pill boxes. lead pencils, boats, turtles, etc.
Skeletons of extinct varieties may bt
found in almost any kind of soil, among
the sands Of rivers and creeks, or even In
water from artesian wells. They are very
delicate and lacelike, single specimens

Curtains Made of Glass.

Glass curtains are novelty in household
furnishings. They are in colored glass and
have the effect when closed of stained glass.
They consist of series of little squares OF
colored glass, each set in IA small zinc frame,
the squares being attached to each other at
the four corners by little 8 shaped hooks
We are told that they can be as easily taken
down and moved as any other curtains, and
in case of changing from one size of win
dow to another can easily be enlarged oil
decreased in size by the addition or sub
traction of "a certain number of squares
They are also easily cleaned, and one OF
their particular attractions is said to b
cheapness. London Inventions.

Dogs as Fire Alarms.

Nature has SO fashioned the dogs nose
that the nasal bones are convoluted and
rolled in Scrolls upon which his olfactory
nerves are spread SO that the entire space
from his eyes forward is a most intricate
and delicate smelling machine" and the
largest which has been given to any living
creature. The organ is extremely sensitive,
especially in the spaniel breed.
One of these little jewels" in the house
will not only instantly warn all inmates
against intruders, but will be the first to
discover, by its sensitive nose, that most
deadly and dreadful of all the elements
flre-which comes creeping stealthily upon
the unconscious sleepers and suffocates
them in their beds or arouses them only to
die horrible death in the sitting, smoke
filled halls and stairways.
No spaniel or hunting dog can rest an In
slant while the slightest puff of smoke is
irritating his sensitive nostrils. He viii!
fret and whine and increase the volume Of
his alarm until the household is aroused,
and do all this long before any human be
ing can detect the faintest odor of smoke.
He is indeed most prompt. speedy, re.
| liable fire alarm, which never fails and new.
err gets out of order while his life lasts.

A New York Incident.

A short, stout man, with broad shoulders
and deep chest, stood at Thirty-third street
at 2 O'Clock Monday morning gazing abb
sently into Broadway,
He had close cropped brown mustache,
Hinged with gray. His face was round and
full. He wore a short, dark overcoat and a
black derby hat He leaned against the
iron fence inclosing the patch of grass
known to beknighted Tenderloiners as a

skunk up to him from behind and began:
"Pooty city; eh, bossf"
"URhr' grunted the short man without
SO much as moving his big shoulders.

Pneumatic Roadways.

Pneumatic shoes are a late invention
The soles are furnished with four cushions
of inflated rubber. They prevent the least
shock in walking over hard roads and
walks. 1t is strange that some genius
doesn't invent an inflated pavement for
roads. The idea is not new one. Several
years ago, when Bill Nye was thrown from
his horse one day and alighted upon hard
pavement with painful results, he suggest
ed that if it wouldn't cost any more II
would be a great improvement to upholsteI
roads instead of paving them. Heretofore
1t has always been the road taxes that have
been inflated. Now let somebody make

The "Dunmow Fitch.

1t is in the ancient town of Dunmow, in
North Essex, England, that every year the
high court of love is held, and welded
couples who live in peace and harmony lay
claim to the celebrated "Dunmow fitch. "
Baron Fitzwalter, who, tradition says, was
the institutor of the quaint ceremony, lived
in the twelfth century, aul to him is at
tributed the saying, "He which repenteth
him not of his marriage, either sleeping or
waking, in year and day may lawfully
go to Dunmow and fetch a CANNON of ba-
con-"
1t is refreshing to learn that in the pres
ent year Of grace three couples deemed
themselves worthy the award and presented
themselves before the jury, which is com
posed of six young maidens attired IN white
and six very youthful and beardless bache
lors. The claimants sit during trial on old
fashioned seats made for two" which
when the award has been made, are hoisted
on long stretchers and the loving coupl,
borne in triumph around the race course
Following them come the judge and tn,
advocates in their robes of office, the criel
proclaiming silence with the wonted form
ula, then the white robed maidens and tn,
beardless boys of the jury, and lastly thu
chatting crowd.-London Letter.

Monaghan Ingenuity.

Great care is taken by the customs Of
ficials to prevent any communication be-
tween the Chinese on the steamers from
China and their friends on shore. This is
done to prevent coolies getting information
that will assist in proving them to be mer-
chants In spite of the precautions of the
officers forbidden letters are often snug
gled upon the steamers.
Though the Chinese are not allowed to
talk with their friends, they are allowed to
send them fruits, cakes and other simple
articles Papers have often been found in
side loaves Of bread in oranges, pears, APP
pies and other fruits. This fact has made
the inspectors very wary. Yet it was only
by the merest chance they intercepted a
letter Saturday to a Chinese DESTROYS of
landing.
The steamer China brought large num-
Der of Chinese over. One of them, Chang
Pang, declared himself to be a merchant.
AS a merchant he would have to give an
exact list of all his partners, together with
the amount invested by each. Fearing he
might not be ableto answer these questions
n list was prepared for him. Then the Ce-
lestials planned carefully to get it to him.
Saturday afternoon man gave Inspector
Campbell three cigars. He asked that they
be given to Chang Pang. The cigars
seemed all right, and the inspector was
about to take them on board when he no
ticed that one was little soft. Tearing 1t
open, he found carefully curled up inside a
letter ON the tlimsiest of paper. Freely
translated its contents were:

When NJ. lola wrote his repulsive story
of French peasant life, it was said that such
things as he described could not be. But a
case which has just been tried at the assizes
in the department of the Tarn shows that in
ia Terre" we have unfortunately only too
true picture. An old man named Veyrios
had coded his farm to his son, STIMULATING
that he should have food and lodging. He
was Immediately placed in the worst room
of the house and starved by his brutal son.
One day the younger Veyrios asked his
father to come to the stable and help him
to move large empty tub. As the old man
stopped down, his son pushed him into the
tub and turned it over. Then he put heavy
stones on it and locked the stable door.
After three days he again went to look, and
finding his unhappy father still alive he
strangled him, The son has been sentenced
to death, his only defense being that the old
man was too expensive.

The Future of Astronomy.

Miss Agnes M. Clerke speaks encourage
lngly Of the possibilities of important de-
volopments in astronomy within the next
few years. Astronomers are better pre-
pared today for the work of observation;
they caunot only see better and farther,
but the record has been made automatic.
The personal equation is In measure elm
mated. The telescope has been supplement
ed by the spectroscope and the Photographic
camera. Inquiries are made telescopically,
and the march of planets or comets becomes
illustrations.
Miss Clerke doubts whether refectors
will be made much larger, and she thinks
the size Of the speculum has about reached
Its practical limits. The almost distinctive
faculty Of rehectors, however, is that Of
throwing rays of all refrangibilities to a
focus together. They are naturally achro-
matte. The trouble is that the larger the
reflector the more difficult it is to get what
astronomical observers call perfect defni-
lions" Great renectors from their size are
likely to become deformed. If a mirror
bends, the object reflected becomes dis
torted.
gigantic reflector is promised for the
year 1900. The mirror of silvered glass Is
to be 10 feet in diameter and will be placed
in tube 40 feet long With this immense
instrument the moon will be brought
within only few miles of the earth. Celes-
tial photography has of late accomplished
marvellous results. The chemical plate has
advantages over the human retina, because
it is sensitive to rays which the eye does
not appreciate at all. 1t Is even possible to
| photograph objects SO faint as to be alto
gether beyond the power of any telescope
| to reveal, and we may thus eventually
learn whether blank space in the sky
truly represents the end of the stellar uni
verse in that direction or whether farther
and farther worlds roll and shine beyond,
yelled in the obscurity of immeasurable
| distance.-Chicago Record.

Criminal Festivals,

The great solemn popular festival of the
Khonds included the annual immolation of
q victim. After three days of indie scriba-
BILE orgies, in which women often partici-
pated dressed like men and armed like war
riors, the victim was bound TO a stake in
the midst of the forest and left there all
night alone. In the morning the people re-
turned, with a great noise of bells and
gongs, singing and shouting. When the
multitude had become well intoxicated
with the uproar and greatly excited by the
disorderly dances, the grand priest would
command silence and recite long prayer
and would then slay the victim, usually
with single stroke of the knife The null
titude, which had been waiting for that
moment, rushed upon the quarry with
piercing cries, each one trying to tear off q
piece of the palpitating flesh, to hack the
body to pieces.
A criminal ceremony exists among the
tribes of the interior of Sumatra, which is
without doubt the survival of AN ancient
| and very cruel custom, that has passed In
| the course of time into civil and religious
duty. These people, although of rather gen
| tie disposition, piously and tremendously
| kill and eat their aged parents in the be
| lief that they are performing sacred duty.
AL the appointed uay ohe oio man WIN IL
| destined to be eaten goes up into a tree, al
the foot of which are gathered the rela
tives and friends of the family. They
strike the trunk of the tree In cadence and
sing funeral hymn. Then the old man de
sends, his nearest relatives deliberately
| kill him, and the attendants eat him.
| With some peoples animals take the place
| of human victims. but what we have said
is sufficient to show that even with these
peoples collective crime was formerly a sol
emn ceremony, although individual crime
was already regarded as something to bt
