FLESH EATING AARss.
A skeptic Was Convinced When He Saw
One Munehing Mutton.

A skcptic Was Convinced When He Saw
One Munehing Mutton.
Hare is a dish never seen on Spanish
table, because in Spain there is super
stition that hares in the night go into
churchyards 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 convinced of the fact that the hares
do eat flesh. He had been told SO by
the country people. but had treated their
assertion as a 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 so liters of wine
that he (the Germany should see a hare
eating meat. The bet was accepted.
The next morning, very early, the Span
lard, the German and two greyhounds
went out to a great heath to look for
flesh eating hares. AS they were sitting
waiting for the hRres to appear, the
Spaniard, to the Germans amaEement,
took little live crab out of his pocket.
What do you want that fors" said the
German. $40 catch the hare with" re-
piled the Spaniard. 1t 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.
So he held his tongue and went on wait
ing. By and by fine hare appeared.
In moment the two dogs were after
him (they were well muzzled, so that
they could not do him any harm), and
in few moments more the hare had dis
appeared again in his hole, and the dogs
were barking at its mouth. The men got
up aud hurried after them.
Now" said the Spaniard, "this is
where my crab comes in" He pulled
out the crab and put it iown 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 few moments
out rushed the hare, terrified by its un-
expected visitor, right into the sack.
Home they went with their prisoner,
which they placed in a cage. When the
hare had recovered from his fright, he
ate before the Germans astonished eyes
several pieces of the mutton which were
thrown in.-Muenchene Zeitung.

en- in the board of managers for the
Worlds Columbian exposition, the
worlds congress of representative wom-
en-the greatest convocation of women
ever assembled-the participation of
women in the entire series Of worlds
congresses, the gaining of woman suf-
frage in Colorado, give to our demand
for political equality for women unprece-
dented prestige in the world of thought.
From hisvantage ground let us assem-
BILE in our twenty-sixth annual conven-
ton to work for the realization of an
ideal republic, with the assurance of sue
cess in the near future.
With the question of woman suffrage
pending in Kansas and New York, it is
our manifest duty to concentrate our eff
forts upon those two states, and one bust
ness session of the convention will be de-
voted to the consideration of ways and
means to further this object.
Besides the presidents of the auxiliary
state associations the speakers invited
are: Mime. Fanny Zampini Salazar Of
Italy and Mime. Hannah Korany Of Syria,
who were delegates to the worlds con-
gress of +. representative women; Mrs.
Carrie Lane Chapman, who was a most
important factor in the Colorado vic
tory; Rev. Marion Murdoch, Rev. Ida G.
Hultin, Rev. Anna 81. Shaw, Mrs. Eliza
beth Boynton Harbert, Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe, Miss Mary Fl. Krout, Mrs. Mary
Lowe Dickinson, secretary of the Kings
Daughters; Mr.. II. B. Blackwell, Mrs.
Mary Seymour Howell and others.
Since the call for the national Ameri-
can convention was issued the following
persons have been invited: Senators Hoar
of Massachusetts,, Teller of Colorado and
Carey of Wyoming and Representative
Blair of New Hampshire; Mrs. Rebecca
Henry Hayes of Texas, Mrs. Virginia D.
Young Of South Carolina, Miss Elizabeth
o. Yates of Maine, Mrs. Josephine K.
Henry of Kentucky, Miss Frances Grit
fin of Alabama and Mrs. Ora Lang
horne of Virginia.
A special feature of this convention
will be an evening devoted to a celebra-
ton and glorifcation over our victory in
Colorado, at which a very interesting
ceremony will take place.
One other special feature will be an
evening given to short addresses by the
presidents of auxiliary states, and this
promises to be one of the most charming
evenings of the convention.

in the carriage and escaped injury. The
horse was caught before he had gone

Iron In Pharmacy.

The pharmacopoeia has long recon-
mended iron wire as material for iron
preparations. Musical wire, being steel
and therefore purer, is also often ap-
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 will more rapidly dissolve
the less it has undergone the mechanical
treatments in question. Thus, if the i'm
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
dsllings 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-
ing.-New York Tribunn.

POMONA, Feb. 23.-Msjor and Mrs.
Keppel OF San Francisco, Staff Captain
and Mrs. Mcintyre of Los Angeles. OF
the Salvation army, presided at d we'll
attended meeting held in the Methodist
church last evening.
Mrs. Keppel is sweet.faced lady and
an entertaining talker, and quite capti-
waited her audience. She spoke upon
the rescue home and orphan asylum
work of the army, relating stories OF the
children, their needs and the army's
method Of providing for these helpless,
suffering infants, 30 plentifully found in
all large cities, and OF the deep interest
taken in fallen women and their rescue,
OF the sympathy and patience shown
them, and Of their penitence and graft
tude.
s'They fall again sometimes" said
Mrs. Keppel, shut we watch over our
girls" ehe continued, land the watch
fulness and interest taken in them
brings them back into the fold, and in
the majority of cases self-respecting,
honorable women, able to battle with
life's trials is the final outcome"
The major, in command of the Pacific
coast division, arose with the remark !:
''If Mrs. Keppel was the mother of all
these children, he naturally was the
father"
In clear and forcible way this gen.
tleman outlined the work that is being
accomplished by their army; of their
reason for beating the drum, adopting
uniforms, etc., their musical demonstra-
tions, ETC., as the means OF drawing a
crowd. 1t originated with a poor. ''un-
heard" preacher upon q street corner,
who, however, witnessed the success of
q circus band, and forthwith conceived
the idea OF adopting similar means, and
in this way was the present army started
upon its army tactics.
Twenty dollars and thirty-five cents,
besides contributions at the door in
passing in, was contributed to the or
phan's home of which Mrs. Keppel
spoke, given by the generously in
ciined Of Pomona who attended last
evening. The army has every reason to
be pleased by the lack of work needed
to obtain the donations made last even
ing. Mrs. Keppel said that Mrs. Captain
Sprague (Pomona) was proud OF the Po-
mona people-she could ses it in her
face.
1t did look that way. to glance at her
face, and the Los Angeles officer of male
persuasion was having a hallelujah time.

Pencil Cases In style.

Most girls are in possession of one Of
the old fashioned pencil cases that used
to be favorite gifts to young ladies at
the period when our mothers were
young. They were very thin, at least
four inches long and wide at the bot
tom, and there was generally liberal
sprinkling of stones upon them, tur-
quoises being used for preference. Fash
ion at last changed in pencil cases, as in
all else, and this particular kind was
relegated to boxes of old treasures. But
now they may be safely brought out
again, for tickle fashions wheel has re-
volved and brought them again into ia
vor. Indeed they are just now the most
fashionable shape in use.--Phiiadelphia
