A GREW MAssACRED.
Horrible Tragedy Committed by
the Pentecost Island Natives.

the Pentecost Island Natives.
SAN FRANcIso. Nov. 23.-Information
was received today by the Alameda of
another tragedy committed by the ma
tive of Island Of Pentecost in the New
Hebrides group. The victims were
George Lifon, copra maker of Am
brym, and two natives forming por-
ton of the crew of his vessel, small
cutter sailing under the American flag.
Lifon visited Pentecost for the purpose
OF recruiting labor. and early one morn
ing, accompanied by two natives, left
his vessel in a small boat for the pur-
pose Of bringing off several native re-
cruits. Not returning at late hour,
those on board the American vessel be-
came alarmed, and on the second boat
landing it was discovered that the ma
tives had seized the first boat and mas
sacred its occupants. The bodies of
Lifon and one native we've found near
the beach horribly mutilated. No trace
could be obtained of the body of the
other native, and it is concluded that
the savages had taken it to their village
for cannibalistic feast.

ST. CLOUD, Nov. 23.-For over year

boy born to her in Montreal July 4, 1892.
For this the damages are asked. Though

long time, the actual beginning of the
suit creates great sensation here. The

Not a Lost Art.

Archeologists and antiquarians in their writings frequently refer to the manufacture of flint arrow-heads, etc., as "a lost art;" that is a great mistake. The art is probably lost to the Indians because they have no use for it. The stone implements have given place to those of iron and steel, and the rife and revolver have supplanted the flint ax and arrowhead. The art of mak- ing them is not lost, however. There are many collectors of relics of the ab- origines who have studied the art of working in flint and have become adopts. In Chattanooga gentleman has become so proficient in the art that he has not only manufactured magnifi- cent specimens of arrow-heads from flint, but also from the far more brit tie obsidian, and even from ordinary glass

JUMPING GIRAFFES.
They Were Puzzled and Frightened at the
 Discharge of Firearms.

It used to be an amusement, and also duty, to me to try and show the animals to native gentlemen when they came from their country seats to visit Calcutta, and I invariably invited them to come with me to see the zoo, says a writer in Longman's Magazine. I think that the giraffes puzzled them most One fine old Hindoo nobleman, with whom I have many time been out tiger shooting on his own proper ty, suggested that the giraffe was new sort of tiger, but he was comfort ed and convinced when he saw them eat the branch of tree from my hand. I wish that he could have been present to witness a performance by this pair of giraffes, which l did not see myself, though fortunately Lord William Beresford saw it and told me of it.
 On the morning of the queens birth day Beresford was riding past the giraffe inclosure when feu de joie was fired by the soldiers of native infantry regiment, whose quarters are not far from the zoo.
 At the first round of the firing the giraffes were startled. When the sec ond round came they took to their heels and jumped clean over the fence of up right gurran or wattle sucks, about ten feet high, that surrounded their inclosure.
 When the third round came the gi- raffes were so puzzled that they turned round and popped over the fence again and sought refuge in the house in which they were lodged at night. It isa great pity that a sportsman and rider like Lord William Beresford, who saw this strange sight, had not a mount on one of the giraffes.

FAST STEAMERS DEFENDED.
The Shorter in Passage the Less the Pas
 sengers Eat.

The Shorter in Passage the Less the Pas
 senGers Eat.
 When a man talks of ''fast boat" a twenty-two-knot boat. which means a twenty-five mile boat, from Queens town to Sandy Hook, the pessimist ut ters the word '4coal!'' and feels that no more terr ible condemnation could be uttered. The coal consumption, says the Saturday Review, is no doubt great, but the shorter trip means less human fuel in the shape of fewer meals for the passengers. The quick pas sage is all in favor of the ship owner in the commissariat of the ship. Many of the passengers become hun gry only on the fourth day, and the reduction of the journey from ten to five days means something considera- ble in the consumption of beef, seeing that the reduction is always in the hun gry days.
 The ship owner calculates, with ap- palling indifference to suffering hu- manity, that if the passage could be shortened day or two more some of his passengers could be landed just at the time they were beginning to think about the cook as a person of conse- quence. There is another practical view of this case. A ship that can make voyage to New York and back in a fortnight will earn fifty-two freights in the year, instead of twen- ty-six of the boats of twenty years ago. The crew costs no more, if the coal does, and the earnings are double. Those who know most about boats know also that the safe boat is the fast boat, because the fast boat must of ne- cessity be strong

WHAT DOGS KNOW.
They Are Mind-Readers Rather Than
 Word-Readers.

While dogs generally do not really know the meaning of one-half the words that their masters think they know, they certainly do learn to dis criminate between certain words with the sound of which they have been made familiar. They are, however, much better mind-readers than word readers, says Youths Companion.
 It is a common thing to hear people say of dog: "He understands every thing that is said" I do not believe that this was ever true of any dog, nor anywhere near true. Intelligent dogs know their names and generally recog- nize the meaning of some half dozen other words. But they are so wonder fully quick in the use of their instinc- tive perceptions much quicker than civilized human beings ever are-that people who see them exercise these perceptions often unreasoningly as- sume that they understand the words upon which, rather than upon in stinctive perceptions, human beings base their actions. I will illustrate what mean.
 I once had Newfoundland that was regarded as a marvel of intelligence. In the evening when I made to him some such wordy speech as this: ''In my opinion, the hour has arrived when every well-regulated canine citizen should retire for the night he would, to the great wonder of strangers, pick himself up from the rug reluctantly, stretch, look furtively at me and then go away to his sleeping place in the shed.
 But if, at the right time and in the accustomed way, repeated phrase from the Scriptures or quoted line of poetry in foreign language, the dog would retire in precisely the same way. It was the understood wish, not the speech, that he obeyed.
 Often the best-trained dog seems to fail to understand an accustomed com mand. Everyone who is familiar with dogs knows that these cases often hap pen, and then when they do the com mand must be repeated until the ami nal somehow catches it.

REST IN MOTION.

A Brain Worker DiscOurses on the Topic
 of Cheerfuluess.
 "If I am married or wearied by care or york;" said man who works with his brains, ''I can always find rest in motion. just stop work and get out and walk. As I walk the weight is lifted, and finally it is gone altogether, and in place of that tired feeling comes tranquility succeeded by elation. It was pleasing discovery to make, that I could walk out of depression into buoyancy. At first, when the exercise was new to me, needed to go but a little distance etoaccomplish to this happy result, and so clearly defined was the change that could locate almost ex- actly the spot where my burdens dis appeared and I found myself in the pleasant company of my hopeful, klnd- ly friend, Cheerfulness. l still seek Cheerfulness by that road and l find him unfailingly, but I have to go further and further to meet him, for, like any other stimulant, the walk must be taken ia constantly increasing doses in order to produce the same re- suits. At first brisk walk of quar- ter of mile brought me to the bound ary line; now I find it about mile and quarter away. It may be that I will have to seek Cheerfulness nearer home as permanent atmosphere, for 1t is obvious that if I must go greater and greater distances to meet the per sonifed Cheerfulness he might one day be practically beyond reach"

A CINGALESE VENDOR.
The Rich Collection of Gems Held by a
 PeddIer in CeYlon.

was sitting one afternoon on the beautiful wide veranda of the Galle Face hotel, Colombo, Ceylon, says a writer in Donahue's Magazine The roar of the breakers pounding upon the beach made pleasant music, and in the translucent emerald brine some laughing natives were splashing mer- rily. A light hand touched my shoul- der, and barefooted Cingalese stood before me.
 "Would you like to buy some stones?' he asked, in his pleasant voice.
 These peddlers of gems are very numerous in Ceylon and threaten to become a nuisance to the traveller. They are not allowed to enter the ho- tels, and I once saw one of them act ually beaten out of the Oriental, in Colombo, Hence it was that before addressing me my Cingalese friend glanced furtively up and down the long veranda to see that he was unob- served by the minions of the hotel.
 He took from beneath his blouse q bundle of white cloth, which he opened, displaying about a pint of rubies, carbuncles, moonstones and cat's-eyes> As I had nothing to do looked through them. after explaining to the sable merchant that I had no intention of buying. The collection must have been worth many thousand dollars, judging by individual speci- mems, but apart from his merchandise the barefooted vendor, costume and all, might have been assessed at about five shillings.

A SENSIBLE ELEPHANT.
It Soon Detected That the Pump Trough
 Was Not Level.

Was Not Level.
 In India domesticated elephants are usually given drink from large wooden troughs filled with we'll water by means of a pump, and it is commonly an elephant that fills this trough. Every morning he goes regularly to his task. While visiting friend at his fine residence in India correspon dent of the Manchester Examiner saw large elephant engaged in pumping such trough full of water. He con- tinues:
 ''In passing noticed that one of the two tree trunks which supported the trough at either end had rolled from its place, so the trough. still elevated at one extremity, would begin to emp ty itself as soon as the water reached the level of the top at the other end, which lay on the ground. stopped to see if the elephant would discover anything wrong. Soon the water be- gan to run off at the end which had lost its support The animal showed signs of perplexity when he saw this, but as the end nearest him lacked much of being full he continued to pump Finally, seeing that the water continued to pass off, he left the pump handle and began to consider the phe- nomenon. He seemed to find it diff cult to explain. Three times he re. turned to his pumping and three times he examined the trough.
 'I was an absorbed looker-on, im- patient to see what would be done. Soon lively Tapping of the ears indi- cated the dawning of light, He went and smelled of the tree trunk which had rolled from under the trough. thought for a moment that he was go- ing to put it in it's place again. But it was not, as soon understood, the end which ran over that disturbed his mind, but the end which he found im- possible to fill. Raising the trough, which he then allowed to rest for an instant on one of his huge feet, he rolled away the second supporting log with his trunk and then set the trough down so that it rested at both ends on the ground. He returned to the pump and completed his task.''

About Bacteria.

Bacteria are simply microscopic plants of varying size and shapes, some of them being so small that fifteen thousand laid end to end would not make a row more than an inch in length. Some are flat, others round or oval, and still others are rod shaped. The oldest foriA of all is that of the one that is tie exact counterpart of cork screw. In all cases they are so minute that one needs powerful microscope iu order to study them and in no case can they be perceived with the unaided eye alone.

Wedding Fees.

The Trenton True American has been talking with some New Jersey dom- inies about wedding fees. One re- ceived for such service in a mono gramed envelope bridge toll ticket of the value of two cents. Another got something aeatly wrapped in paper. He took it to grocer, told him that it was a wedding fee, that he had not opened it and did not know what it was, but would give it to him, sight unseen," for a watermelon. The grocer agreed, the dominic seized his melon and the grocer found in the paper a silver three-cent piece. One groom, is he passed out with his bride, threw into the wOrk-basBet an old pair of gloves, saying to the minister's wife that she might have them. The min ister's wife looked at them with scorn and contempt. A few days later, how ever, wishing to do some gardening, she thought the despised old gloves might be useful after all. She at tempted to put them on and found difficulty. In every one of the fingers there was a five-dollar bill.
