Police inquiries in reference to the death
of an odd character who was known in
Melbourne as Jack Jorgenson brought
forth the facts that the deceased's proper
name was Johanna Margherita Martin
Jorgenson and that she lad lived in the
Bendigo district for 20 years, wearing
male attire.
At one time she became engaged to the
daughter of one of the residents and OBJ
tanned consent to the marriage. Mrs.
Theresa Newman of South Melbourne, who
believes the deceased to be her sister, states
that she was 81 years of age and a native
of Berlin. 1t was 20 years since they part
ed, Mrs. Newman being much annoyed at
her sisters wearing mems clothes. The
reason for this conduct on the part of the
deceased was that no one would employ
her as domestic servant on account of a
facial disfigurement.-Aust Ex-

When We consider how many hints have
been given during the many centuries
past for the preservation of fruits, it is
remark bic that the present enormous in.
dustry in that line had not been invented
earlier It shows the advantage of what
are called abstract studies. When by the
invention of the microscope it was found
that rot and decay were the result of the
action Of small organisms, and that not
even these fungi could develop without at
mospheric air, it was the most natural
thing in the world that successful canning
of fruits should follow, yet the hint has
long ago been given in connection with
many things, and especially with the pres
ervation of butter.
The old Gardeners Monthly recorded
a number of cases where butter had been
fished out of wells, where it had dropped
from vessels suspended over the water for
the sake of the cold temperature. These
Jumps of butter, in many cases century
old, were found just as fresh and good as
the day they were churned. Kept from
the atmosphere, no parasitic fungus could
attack it. Recently butter has been found
at the bottom of boys In the old world. 1t
IL believed in some cases to be nearly a
thousand years old, and yet entirely fresh
and good. These hints certainly are of
great value to the practical person, who
desires to see a dollar and cent value in
every scientific idea.-Meehan' Monthly

against it, saying the report of the gun
might bring the Obbos down upon us to
carry away the game.
Bongo was on foot, and he carried a
keen, heavy sword, with which he pro
posed to dispatch the great beast. How
he was to accomplish this was something
l could not understand, but he directed

Bungo then hid himself behind some

ial who. was mounted on fine tempered
fiery little black mare. Iinjal was quite
unarmed, but he did not hesitate to ride
directly toward the waiting elephant, and
the huge animal instantly faced him,
prepared for rush.
The mare was admirably trained, and
she slowly moved toward the colossus,
apparently understanding just what was
required of her and just how perilous her
situation was. She advanced until within
10 yards of the waiting monster, and
then. all of a sudden, II wild cry came
from Zinjal's throat. At that instant, the
elephant charged.
| thought horse and rider would be
crushed, but the little mare leaped away
like n flash, and Zinjal chung leechlike t.
her bare back, while, uttering mad cries,
the elephant pursued. His trunk was
suspended in the air almost over Iinial's
head, and his jaws were wide open. A
| light that was perfectly iiendish showed in
| his small black eyes.
Zinjal's horsemanship was superb as hi
managed to keep just out of the ele

monster on. Straight past the rock,
where Bongo lay concealed flashed tn,

hilt of the heavy sword grasped in botf
hands.
As the elephant passed, Bongo spranq

most under the elephants nose, attract

for Bongo to dart out aud deliver blow
at the other leg.
1t was death stroke, for the main ar

He says the shipping of cotton from
Egypt to the United States is casually

is aygressively competing in q small Z

consumption OF Egyptian cotton by
New England spindles has grown from
nolhing ten years ago to more than 10
900 large bales, equivalent to 6o,0Oo
American bales. and valued at $1,000
900. The Egyptian cotton area. which
was about s63. 3.552 acres in 1892. now
equals l.O72.54l acres. an astonishing
advance. 1t is asserted that the Use OF
Egyptian cotton in the United States
is in no sense inimical to our own cot
