LIGHT SLUMBER.
Street Agents New Method of Drawing
So Crowd.

A Street Agents New Method of Drawing
So Crowd.
An exchange says that well-dressed
man, leaning against lamp post and
apparently sleeping the sleep of the
Just, created a great deal of interest in
a. busy London street the other day.
He sat on box which he had been car
rying.
Evidently being suddenly overcome
with drowsiness, he had placed the box
on the curbstone, and, sitting down
upon it, had fallen asleep. To those
who succeeded in getting close enough
to the man his gentle, restful snore
dispelled the fear that he might be
dead. The side of his face was ex-
posed and betrayed no sign of intoxica-
ton. 1t was the Judgment of every
one that he was sober, in good health
and simply taking quiet snooze.
When the crowd became SO deep as
to threaten a blockade, the supposed
sleeper suddenly jumped to his feet,
mounted his box and, fourishing a
couple of bottles over his head, ex-
claimed:
''Now, gents, SEEM that you are all
here, l rise to a question of privilege,
and after thankin' you for this most
cordial reception, which l assure you
will long remain upon the tablets OF
my memory, l wish to call your atten.
ton to my world-renowned corn and
bunion eradicatOr.''

SHROUDED In MYSTERY.
Tragedy in a ST. Louis Board
ing House.
Did Two LodRers Meet Death at the
Hands of an Unseen
Murderer?
by the Associated Pr ,ss.

By the ASSOCIATED IT oSS.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 1.-THE police
have suddenly been confronted by one
of the most mysterious cases they have
ever tried to solve. This morning Steve
K. Wilsko applied at boarding place
and engaged room for week paying
In advance. Then he left the house re-
turning late this afternoon and went to
his room OF the same floor occupied by
Josie Stevenson. Late tonight man
called at the house ard asked to see
Miss Stevenson.
The landlady found the room door
open and Miss Stevenson lying on the
floor dead with a bullet bole through
her forehead. Wilsko was on the bed
shot twice through the head. Between
the two on the floor was a revolver with
all five cham bers empty. The first
theory was that murder was followed
by suicide, but after an examination of
the room and the wounds the police
could have fired the fatal shots. The
two additional shots from the revolver
had been fired at the man but missed.
Although several persons were in the
house no one heard the shooting or any
unusual noise. The man who called
for Miss Stevenson has disappeared
and cannot be found. His name has
been ascertained to be H. O. Mason.
Nothing is known of Wilsko and but
little of Miss Stevenson. The whole
affair is shrouded in mystery and much
of a sensational nature is expected in
its disentaglement.

DEATH OF A BIG INDIAN.
The Hereditary Chief Of the Sioux
~er Nation.
How Young Man Afraid-of His Horses
Got His Queer Name-An Important
Figure in Government
- Records.

There was a funeral at the Pine
Ridge Agency few weeks ago of an
Indian chief, who was brave warrior,
and as great in diplomacy as he was in
battle,
His name was Young Man-Afraid-of-
His-Horses, and he was the hereditary
chief of the whole Sioux nation. He
was tifty-eight years of age at the time
of his death, and was a son of the ia
nous old warrior "A-Man-Afraid-of-
His-Horses," who died in 1889 at the
age of ninetytwo, and whose life is
intimately connected with the frontier
history of this country since the early
days of the century.
When an Indian wants to emphasize
fact strongly, he says the exact OPP
posite of what he means, and so the
name of the dead chief is a specimen
of Indian satire.
His father, in his fights with other
Indians, adopted the tactics of the
whites. The usual method of the In
dams is to ride in circles around the
object of attack, narrowing the diam
eter of the circle as the fight proceeds.
But the father used the regulation
cavalry charge-a method of warfare
that at once distinguished him, and he
was given name which meant "a
man of whose horses the enemy is
afraid" The Sioux satirist thought tc
improve on this and condensed it to
''A-Man-Afraid-of- His-Horses."
The old mans son, the chief now
dead, continued his fathers system OF
tactics, and, with the chieftaincy, was
given the title: Dung Man-Afraid-of
His-Horses."
He was contemporaneous as chief
tain of the Sioux with such Indians as
Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, Spotted Tail
American Horse, Black Bear, Lone
Wolf, Red Leaf and White Thunder
all of whom were men of undoubtee

( WONDERFUL BIRD-WEAVER,
How the Baltimore Oriole Builds His
Cory Swinging Nest.

How the Baltimore Oriole Builds His
Cory Swinging Nest.
The Baltimore oriole is prince in a
house of princes, says writer in
Scribner's Magazine. The family to
which he belongs is composed of birds
remarkable either for plumage, note,
nest, eggs or.habit. Eachcan claim some
thing curious and original; but the
Baltimore shines in every one of these
particulars, for in plumage, song and
nest alike he is an especially remark
able bird. When the earl of Baltimore
became the lord of Maryland his fol-
lowers quickly noticed the correspond
ence between his heraldic livery of
orange and black and the orange and
black of the splendid bird that so
abounded in the new estates, so that,
very naturally, the name Baltimore
bird" was suggested and has been
borne ever since.
His nest is one of the most wonder
full examples of bird-weaving in exist
ence. 1t is made of separate threads,
strings, horsehair or strips of bark,
closely interviewer into sort of sack,
and SO firmly knit together that it will
bear weight of twenty or thirty
pounds. In the southern parts of this
birds range the nest is suspended from
two or three terminal twigs for pro-
lection from numerous enemies, such
as snakes, opossums and the like; it
is also made six or seven inches in
depth to prevent the eggs being thrown
out by the high winds. But in the
colder north, where tree-climbing foes
are rare, it is hung, not at the extrem-
ity Of the branches, but in cluster Of
twigs that affords shelter. 1t is much
shallower than when exposed to the
wind, but is very thiclsly woven and
lined with soft, warm materials. The
orioles loud, ffe-lile notes ringing
from the high tree-tops in the morning
are an ample refutation of the old
theory that melody and bright plum
| age have never been bestowed on the
same bird.

THE HORNED TOAD.
1t Bears a Remarkable Resemblance to
the Ancient Triceratops.

1t Bears a Remarkable Resemblance to
the Ancient Triceratops.
There has been considerable discus
sion in the scientific papers of late
about the curious habit of the ''horned
toads," found in Arizona and Mexico,
of squirting blood from their eyes when
disturbed. Many witnesses agree in
the assertion that the little animals
really possess this power. According
to one observer, the blood, or the liquid
resembling blood, comes from little
orifces just above and behind the
eyes, and it appears to have stupefy-
ing effect upon an animal covered
with it.
The horned toad, says the Youths
Companion, is a strengthening crea-
ture. and in certain ways its appearance
recalls one of the most remarkable
monsters that in past geological ages
lived in the western part of America
the triceratops of Prof Marsh.
This gigantic animal, whose name
means ''three-horned face" had its
skull inclosed in bony helmet on the
upper part of which, over the nose
were three stout horns. The head OF
one OF these monsters is no less than
eight feet long.
When horned toad is laid upon the
head of the triceratops the resemblance
is quite striking, as if this little modern
inhabitant of some of the sandy plains
of the west were miniature repreduc
ton, with variations, of the wonderful
beast that roamed there in ancient
times .-.,

FOREIGN AGRICULTURE,

THE geranium growers of France
and Algeria are feeling the COMPETE
ton from distillers in Reunion, where
the output is increasing very rapidly,
every steamer arriving at Marseilles
bringing consignments of geranium oil.
In Manitoba, Canada, the area plant
ed to wheat this year is 100000 acres,
as against $4,000 acres last year. The
increase is largely accounted for
by the continual arrival of new settlers
from Great Britain and elsewhere.

PLUCKY YOUNG EELS.
Row They Overcome the DISTINCTIONS in
Passing Up the Thames.


Young cells, in passing up river,
show the most extraordinary persever-
ance in overcoming all obstruction.
The large foodgates-sometimes ff-
teen feet in height-on the Thames
might be supposed sufficient to bar the
progress of a fish the size of a darning
needle, says Rod and Gun. But young
cells have a wholesome idea that moth
ing can stop them, and in consequence,
nothing does. Speaking of the way in
which they ascend loodgates and other
barriers, one writer says: ''Those
which die stick to the post; others,
which get little higher, meet with
the same fate, until at last layer of
them is formed which enables the rest
to overcome the difficulty of the pass
age. The mortality resulting from
such 'forlorn hopes greatly helps to
account for the difference in the num-
Der of young cells on their upward mi
grafton and that of those which return
down stream in the autumn. In some
places these baby cells are much sought
after and are formed into cakes, which
are eaten fried.
"Eels spawn like other fishes. For
long, however, the most remarkable
theories were held as to their birth.
One of the old beliefs was that they
sprang from mud; a rival theory held
that young cells developed from frag-
ments separated from their parents
bodies by their rubbing against rocks
One old author not Only declared that
they came from May dew, but gave the
following recipe for producing them
Cut up two turfs covered with May
dew and lay them one upon the other
the grassy sides inwards, and then ex
pose them to the heat of the sun. In {
few hours there will spring from then
an infinite quantity of eels.'''
