On an Indian Hunting Tour.

The most exciting and by far the
most interesting hunting expeditions I
ever went on, said Capt. M. P. Wallace,
an ex-army officer, to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, "were those with the
Indians while I was stationed on the
plains. The consummate grace and
skill of the men and the speed and
agility of their ponies were well dis
played on such occasions as these. Fre-
quently the hunt would be signalized
by some daring feat Of bravado. On
one occasion l saw an athletic young
Indian ride his horse up close to the side
of big buffalo bull and spring from
the horse on to the back Of the buffalo,
ride the savage creature several hun
dred yards, and then with his knife
give it its death stroke"

The Heir to China.s Throne.

The birth of an heir to the Chinese
throne at this time is an event of more
than ordinary Importance to the peace
of the empire. Kuang Hsu is the first
emperor of the present dynasty whose
right of occupancy is not based upon
actual descent. His predecessor, Tung
Chih, died childless In 1878, after a
reign of only one year. He left
several brothers, all having children,
among whom a strife at once arose as
to the succession. After several weeks
of contention and intrigue compro-
mise was effected by which the young
widowed empress and her unborn child
were put to death, and the present en-
peror, then two years old, and the son
of the seventh prince" who was a
was brother of Tung Chih, and him
self one of the contestants for the
throne, was chosen by a family council.
In order to correct the succession, the
dead emperor was supposed to adopt
this infant as his son and successor,
and an imperial decree to that effect
was promulgated throughout the en-
wire. Kuang Hsu has been an invalid
prom his birth. and his death at any
time would occasion no surprise.

EXTRA POLITE.
A French Count Who Could Not BE Out
done In Gallantry.

A French Count Who Could Not Be Out
done In Gsllantry.
Frenchmen Of the old school did at
times tremendously polite things, such
as breaking their necks to pick up q
lady's fan, or setting fire to a house to
dry her when caught in q shower Of
rain. or running through the body any
one who should dare to say that her
foot was large or her nose red. In our
days Frenchmen are not such idiots,
and yet they sometimes do exceeding
ly foolish things in the polite line.
This story, for example. is related of q
Count de Lecouiteux.
In descending the staircase Of the
opera one night q lady Of his acquaint-
ance had lace dress OF considerable
value torn by q man treading on it.
After an exclamation Of impotence
she turned to the count and said:
"Have you pin2" Madame" he said,
81 don't carry pincushion, but here is
one, and he drew from his breast q
valuable diamond. ''Sir," said the
lady, nettled probably by his retort
about the pincushion, ST cannot accept
a diamond from you." 'Well. then"
returned he, 'here is pin without q
diamonds" and breaking off the jewel
he threw 1t out Of the window and pre-
sented the simple pin.

An Experience That Noted Some Profit
to the old See Captain.
81 am reminded" said an old coast
ing captain to Washington Star man
recently, "of an experience I once had
with sea turtles on the edge of the
gulf stream, about sixty miles from
Hatteras. | was part owner and cap
tain of the Mary Lyle at that time, and
was coming up from Savannah with q
half cargo Of rice, when, one morning,
the lookout yelled to me to come up on
deck and look at the sea turtles When

whole ocean, as far as l could see
ahead Of US was covered with turtles.
They were tremendous fellows, and
were padding along lazily in the OPP

were going. 1t didn't take us long to
rig up a windlass and tackle and begin
pulling some of the old fellows aboard
We picked the biggest, as the came,
and in the course of three hours we had
caught twenty-six, about all that we
could handily dispose of about the
ship. Only nine of them lived until
we reached New York, and we sold
them for good prices. The shell of one
that weighed four hundred and seven
ty pounds is now in front of an eating
house on Houston street, New York.

were in sight of the Mary Lyle that
day, for fear somebody might think 1

steadily for five hours, and when we
got well into the school it extended as
far as the eye could reach on all sides,
and there was turtle to about every
forty square feet of water, and didn't
see one that weighed less than one
hundred and fifty pounds"

STEWARD OF AN OCEAN LINER.
A Position of Responsibility with an Army
of auhordlnatea to OYeraaa

A Position of Responsibility with an Army
of subordinates to Oversee.
1t may surprise some old globe trot-
ters to know that the big ocean grey
hounds running between New York
and the European ports carry on an av-
erage nineteen Thousand pieces of
sterling silverware for their table serv-
Ice, and that this large amount of plate
is handled during the voyage by from
two hundred to two hundred and forty
walters or stewards, "as they are called
on shipboard. The chief steward is
responsible for every piece, says the
New York Mail and Express He must
be man Of quick powers of observa-
ton, a student Of human nature and be
up to all the little devices of small
army of subordinates usually keener
and quicker witted than those found
ashore in the same calling 1t Is
busy day for the steward twenty-four
hours before the time set for departure.
He has purchased or contracted for all
the supplies and an assistant sees that
the contracts are fulfilled. But his per-
sonal attention must be given to silver
ware. He keeps regular debit and
pick just what he will start away with.
On the voyage passengers are apt to
lose spoons or forks or other ware by
accident, and occasionally gay blade
may think it amusement to toss sugar
bowl or half dozen knives through
port hole. 1t is needless to say that he
furnishes quid pro quo before he
goes ashore. When the other side is
reached the chief steward spends day
in balancing accounts. He started with
SO much, and so much should be on
hand. If there is difference he seeks
to find it, and If he can't find it he
''makes good" himself. The RESPONSE
bility of such position naturally COM
mands high salary, and every chief
steward on every ocean steamship run

ton, a man of unimpeachable integ-
rity. The extraordinary record is that
in thirty years there have been but
two accusations of betrayal of trust

DEADLIEST KNOWN POISON.

ShOphanthidin, from an African Plant,
an Atom of Which Is Dangerous.
To the best of our knowledge, SAYS
the Brooklyn Eagle, the most deadly
poison is that which was discovered by
Prof. Frazer, of Edinburgh, Scotland,
and known as shophanthidin. He sep
arated it from the African poison
plant, shophanthus hispidus, by means
of ether and alcohol. AS little as one
thousand-millionth part of an ounce Of
crystallized shophanthidin produces
distinctly injurious effect upon the
heart, and very small quantity is
fatal. Another deadly poison is cyano-
gen gas, the principal ingredients of
hydrocyanic or prussic acid.
At ordinary temperatures it is SIM
ply gas, but can be condensed by cold
and pressure into a thin, colorless
liquid and becomes solid at thirty
degrees Fahrenheit. The inhalation in
its gaseous state of most minute
quantity would cause instant death.
One of the most deadly poisons
is arseniuretted hydrogen, or arsenic,
which is formed by decomposing
an alloy of arsenic and zinc with sui
phuric acid. 1t is q colorless gas, pos
sessing fetid odor of garlic, and acts
as most deadly poison.
Adolph Ferdinand Gehlen, chemist,
born about ITS at Butow, in Pomer-
ania, was the discoverer of 1t. While
experimenting with 1t ct Munich, on
July Is, helinhaled single bubble Of
the pure gas and died in eight days
from the effects. The accident oc-
CURED through his smelling at the
joints of his apparatus to discover q
flaw. Others engaged in chemical
operations have died from the effects
Of this poison In three days.

FAIRY RINGS OF HELENA,

Theories Advanced as to Their Origin
Common I'm Eastern Montana.
The well-known circle on the pas
ture lands about six miles east Of
Helena, near the old overland stage
road, and which has been a curiosity
and source of speculation for years,
is identical with the fairy rings so COM
mon in some parts of England. There
were formerly two of these rings, says
the Helena MONTY Independent, but
one has entirely disappeared within
the last few years. The remaining one
Is about two hundred feet in diameter
and forms aperfect circle. The ground
forming the circle is about two yards
wide and quite destitute of vegetation.
Many theories have been advanced as
to the cause of these rings. Some say
that it is the result of lightning; others
that herd of buffalo, pursued by
wolves, stopped and formed themselves
into q circle as a means of defending
their young, and thus tramped out the
grass. These rings have attracted the
attention of scientific men, and recent
Investigations have shown they are the
result Of centrifugal development Of
certain kinds OF fungi, among which is
the common mushroom, which shows q
tendency to grow in this manner. The
spot where it has grown is untitled for
its continued nourishment, and the
spawn extends outward to new soil,
forming the circle. These rings are
common in eastern Montana, along the
Musselshell river, but the one near
Helena is the most perfect in the state.

CoMPLACENT CHINA.
CondescentiOn Toward Wsyward YOUNG

CondescentiOn Toward Wayward Young
Nations Like America.
It is not easy for the outside world
to understand that the position Of
China toward foreigners is one of phil
osophical condescention, and that
nothing could be more genuine than
the Chinese sense of mental superiority
in dealing with human affairs, says
the st. Louis Globe Democrat. During
one Of the controversies between this
country and China about immigration 3
Chinese editor put the case in this wayi
'We must remember that we are the
oldest nation and that America Is one
Of the youngest. We who have been
so favored as to inherit a high civilisa-
ton from our wise rulers Of antiquity
and have been blessed with the sublime
teachings of our great sages, ought to
be patient with the excited caprices OF
q nation in its unthinking childhood.
II we maintain a calm attitude and do
not allow ourselves to get angry over
the pranks OF a young country, why,
In course Of time America will change
and grow wiser and abandon her pres
ent foolish conduct. Nations learn by
experience, just as children do, and we
ought to maintain our dignity and wait
in patience while America advances to
a state of maturity and learns to man
age things in proper and judicious
way"
This is the tranquil tone of Socrates

ished, but pardoned and unspanked.

Salt Will Save EN-.

Common salt is one Of the most valu
abe rem. u.al agents The world contains.
Use d as tooth powder, alone or with a
pre- pared chalk, it whitens the teeth and
makes the gums hard and rosy. 1t is a
good gargle for sore throat, and if taken
in time will benefit if not cure diphther-
ia. 1t will stop bleeding of he mouth,
and in hot weather is good emetic and
remedy against several poisions. There
is nothing better for sore feet and hands
than salt and water, and for ordinary
sore eyes, though painful application,
it will often effect complete cure.

1t takes $500 mail cars to distribute
Uncle Sans mail, and the New York

clerks to handle it. Last year these
clerks handled 1,2O7, ,22O,577 pieces OF

The most remarkable instance Of
rapid growth was recorded by the
French academy in 1870. 1t was boy
six years of age, five feet six inches in
height. At the age of five his voice
changed, at six his beard had grown,
and he appeared a man Of thirty. He
possessed great physical strength, and
could easily lift to his shoulders and
carry bags Of grain that weighed two
hundred pounds. His decline was as

clear weather show the track of the

fair weather. A red sky in the morning
foretells bad weather. A grey sky in
the morning means fine weather. II the

A dark gloomy, blue sky is windy;
