FLESH EATING HAREs.

A skeptic Was Convinced When He Saw
One Munching Mutton.
Hare is dish never seen on a Spanish
table, because in Spain there is super
stition that mares in the night go into
ehurchyards and dig up the graves and
eat the dead bodies A writer who spent
some time shooting in Castillo, where
game is very plentiful, relates how he
was conyinced of the fact that the hares
do eat flesh. He had been told so by
the country people, but had treated their
assertion as ridiculous fiction. The
next time he found himself in party Of
sportsman he repeated what he had
heard as Joke, but to his surprise every
one listened quite gravely and assured
him that it was perfectly true. They
themselves had frequently seen hares
eating flesh. AS he still expressed doubts
ON the subject, however, one of the COM
pany offered to bet him 80 liters of wine
that he 1.-THE GERMANY should see hare
eating meat. The bet was accepted.
The next morning, very early, the Span
lard. the German and two greyhounds
went out to great heath to look for
flesh eating hares. AS they were sitting
waiting for the hares to appear, the
Spaniard, to the Germans amazement,
took little live crab out of his pocket.
"What do Won want that forT' said the
German, "T'o catch the hare with" re-
piled the Spaniard. It struck the Ger
man that perhaps the Spaniard had
brought him out merely to make fool
Of him. But then he reflected that that
was not the Spanish way with strangers.
90 he held his tongue and went on wait
ing. BY and by fine hare appeared.
In q moment the two dogs were after
him (they were well muzzled, so that
they could not do him any harm), and
III 8 few moments more the hare had dis
appeared again In his hole, and the dogs
were barking at It's mouth. The men got
mn and hurried after them.
Now" said the Spaniard, "this Is
where my crab comes In" He pulled
ont the crab and put it down at the
mouth of the hole, and it, glad to hide in
the dark shade, crept In with all the ex-
petition 1t could manage. The Span.
lard instantly spread large coarse sack
over the entrance, and In q few moments
ont rushed the hare, terrified by its I'M.
expected visitor, right into the sack.
Home they went with their prisoner,
which they placed in cage. When the
hare had recovered from his fright. b

"The best evidence of the truth of the
theory Of heredity ever saw" said T.
.. Lucas to the corridor man at the Lin.
dell, 'sis a family named Walker, living
In Mitchell county, N. @. There are al
present seven brothers and five sisters,
the lowest stature Of any of them being
feet, which is the height of one of the
girls. Her sisters run in regular gradu-
alton as to heights feet 1 inch, feet
Q inches and feet 8 inches. The tallest
brother is feet inches, and the short
est 8 feet 8 inches.
"The mother is short, being but feet
8 inches, while the father, from whom
the children inherit their remarkable
growth, is z feet 2 inches. He is Of a
family Of nine brothers, the tallest of
whom was feet in height and the short
est feet, and all Of them lived to con-
siderable age, the only one surviving,
however, being the father of the sons
and daughters mentioned. If the pres
emit family were arranged one above the
other, they would reach 70 feet inches
in height. It is said that all of the an
cestors back through several generations
were of like proportions. ST. Louis

IRON In PHARMACY.

The pharmacopoia has long recon-
mended iron wire as material for iron
preparations. Musical wire, being steel
and therefore pprer, is also often APP
piled and Yields sufficiently pure prep
arations. More lately there have been
recommended for this purpose soft steel
drillings, as being cheaper, purer and
not so difficult to dissolve as wire, which
by the various processes of forging, ham
mering. rolling and final drawing be-
comes denser and harder.
The more impure an iron the quicker
it will dissolve, but the same piece of
iron or steel viii moro rapidly dissolve
the less it has undergone the mechanical
treatments in question. Thus, if theim-
mense amount of mechanical labor be
considered to which an iron or steel bar
Is subjected In reducing its diameter to
that Of wire. it is argued that soft steel
drillings, shavings or turnings deserve
preference. In word, the turnings and
drillings of axles and steel boiler plate,
which can be obtained at any steel works
or machine shop, are ranked among the
purest brands Of iron, in the chemical
sense Of the word. According to ex-
perts, it may be considered practical
rule that any brand of steel capable of
making good axle or boiler plate will
also yield pure preparations on dissolv-

Roswell P. Flower is a funny fellow

to good things, and he knows them now
when he sees them. He is big eater

is that he always wants whole canvas

the governor, with a big carving knife,
and he helps himself to the slices as he
wants them. He does not want his duck

all his property and even sell his chill

relatives who allow themselves to be sold
are treated as models of filial devotion.

An ANOMALOUS CONDITION.


A gentleman just returned from the
east. speaking of the senseless Coxey-
fte movement upon Washington, re-
marked to us that the State of Iowa
alone could absorb and find work for
all the crowds of men who are unem-
pIoyed, and who are pressing toward
the national capital.
Other states are calling for farm
laborers. The south is advertising for
men to settle there and do the work of
various kinds that awaits the indus
trious. Why, then, should these hordes
be sweeping over the country, a bur
den and menace to the people on
their line of travel? They say they
want work In some instances that
perhaps is true. In the great majority
it is totally untrue, unless it be that
they want an easy JOB at short hours
and high wages.
1t is well known that in number of
cases they have refused farm labor
They are not dollar a day men, they say.
They are not hunting that kind of
work. They have vague idea, which
has been foisted upon their not over
bright intellects by man who know bet
ter, that if only enough of them can
be massed around the powers that be
at Washington, money will be ground
out for their benefit and work will be
provide for them on terms which they
will dictate. They are, of course,
doomed to disappointment and no end
of trouble.
This is not intended by any means to
convey the idea that there is no cause
for discomfort, or that there is employ
ment for all men of various trades and
professions. The depression in trade
and manufactures is undeniable. 1t is
only to show that there are opportuni-
ties for men to work in many places
which are not taken up by the ''ar-
mics" that call themselves indus
trials Both titles are misnomers.
They are chiefly hordes of men who
are not of that kind of workmen who
are eager for anything in the shape of
labor that will give them a living. At
the same time, there are many thou
sands of real industrials who are I'M
employed. but there are not many Of
them marching on that fools Grand.

place permanent control of the future
republic in the hands of its present
guardians and their successors, who
shall carry out their policy. For in
stance, deniZens of Hawaii who sup
port the provisional government are
entitled to vote or sit in the senate
without impairing their citizenship in
their native country. The president
shall be elected by the legislature for
Ia term Of six years.
The exact model' in these respects
is about as exact as the horrible cuts
which appear in some of our contempo-
raries as the alleged portraits of dis
tinguished persons, and which would
never be recognized as intended for
them but from the fact that they are
SO labeled.
The great powers" invested in the
executive are more monarchial than
republican. Putting the permanent
control of the future republic 90 in the
hands of the present guardians and
their successors who shall carry out
their policy is very like the spirit and
letter of our national constitution, is it
not? And when we come to the pro-
vision which allows citizens of another
country to vote and sit in the Senate
while retaining their foreign allegiance,
providing they support the provisional
government, the similarity with the
instrument after which it was mod
eled is so exact as to strike the OBJ
server with establishment if not with
admiration The election of the presi-
dent by the legislature instead of by
the people and for a term of six years
instead of four, establishes the Ha-
waiian constitution as an ''exact
model of the American beyond com
parison.
From all that has appeared in the
news from the Islands, the self APP
pointed rulers who dethroned the recog-
nized monarch and seized control by
aid Of the United States minister and
navy, have made up a very pretty lit
tie plot to continue themselves in
power without the consent of the
great body of the citizens. And they
call their oligarchy republic so that
they may gain the sympathy and good
will of the American people, and to
distinguish it from the monarchy
which was the legitimate government
before they seized the reins.
We would like to see a genuine re-
public established on the Hawaiian
Islands. and perhaps there may be one
growing out of the present pretended
government of the people" But if we
may judge from the particulars that
have reached us, there will have to be
a radical change in the constitution of
the country before it can be truthfulIy
designated as a republican form of
government

four years Imprisonment for selling

SO the prosecution alleged, but Turpin
said that the secret had been stolen and
disposed of by some one else. Melinite is
said to be effective, not only when
thrown in a bomb. but also serves
purpose similar to that of the ill-smell-
ing missiles OF long ago. 1t is three times
as powerful as gunpowder, and has the
great advantage of being entirely safe
