AN 5000 MILE RACE.
Schooners Agar and Dennis
Cross the Pacific.
FINISH THREE HOURS APART.
Seven Days Dfaerence In their Sailing
Tfne-More About the Charge
Aesiass Capt Bryant

The sealing schooners Allie I. Agar and
and Henry Dennis. owned by ]. c. Nixon.
have been heard from, NJ. Nixon having
yesterday received letters from Captains
wes;e- and Miner. and made quick pass
age across the ocean, the Dennis winning.
Tas letters were written from Pert Lloyd,
Benin islands, where both vessels arrived
February s. the Dennis dropping anchor
just three hours after the Agar.
Before the schooners leit here some OF
the hunters put $500 into q pot for the
one which made the shortest time from
Csps Eias.ery TO Benin islands. Tho
Agar left here December II and the Dem
mis- December "a The formers sailing
time across the Pacific was forty-seven
days and the Dennis time forty-thrse
days. The Agar lost four days at Homo
lulu, but this can not be counted out. Mr..
Nixon thinks il remarkable that two ves-
sells should make race of s, 90 miles and
be so close together At the finish. He also
thinks il the longest race On record.
Capt Miner writes that be took six seals
of Cape F,astery, experienced very warm
weather on the way over and that eleven
sealing schooners had been at Bonin is
ands this season. The only Victoria
schooner there was the Brcnde.. Every
body was well and they expected to begin
sealing about the middle Of February.

mends his way home through the
dreary chapparal, dolefully playing
away on the ghostly machine. The
afTable old witch still sits by the
fire to think it all over. Of to the
east, far to the north and far
to the south, the dark green
mesquite thicket extends. To
the west are the acres
CT ground on which the dead lie
buried, their glossy marble tomb
stones shining in the moonlight
and rejecting the bright, short,
lived glow of the fire fly. For fully
all hour the old dame sits contem-
plating the scene and rchearsing
the nights events. Then she gets
up and soon, on her sCanty bed
ding, falls asleep. Her snarling lit
tie cur takes his accustomed
place in the doorway of "Goblin
Cave" and on the spot where the
grave digger ball had just been
held, not a breathing thing
stirred for hours afterward.

Kenneth Bazemore had the
good fortune to receive a small
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and DiarrhGa Remedy
when three members of his family
were sick with dysentery. This one
small bottle cured them all and he
had some left which he gave to
Geo. w. Baker, a prominent mer-
chant Of the place, Lewiston, n. c.,
and it cured him Of the same COM
plant. When troubled with dys-
EMERY, diarrhGa, collie or cholera
morbus, give this remedy a trial
and you will be more than pleased
with the result. The praise that
naturally follows its introduction
and use has made it very popular.

Getting Rid of Plunge of Mice

Getting Rid of a Plunge of Mice
An ingenious method was re-
Gently employed in France Of rid
ding the country OF small rodents
which had become so numerous
and destructive that it was impos-
sible to produce any crop. Every
acre of land furnished home for
thousands of these pests. The
method adopted was to dissolve
some gelatine cultures Of patho-
genie bocteria capable Of produc-
iEg an infectious disease in mice,
then soaking a great number of
small cubes of bread in thi solu-
ton, and placing the bread near
the holes every day for three
days in succession. Within
two weeks from the time when
this treatment was begun, scarcely
a live mouse was to be found in
the district. When the burrows
were opened, their galleries were
found to be filled with dead
mice.

Early on the appointed evening
of the bale, a young man with
leafty branches of mesquite, clean
the floor of the abandoned quarry,
fill from the adjoining graveyard,
the affable witch's barrel of water,
bring for her an armful of wood or
brush or do such other chores as
she might ask. Shortly after dusk
the first dancers arrive, then along
SLOUGH some dusky young fellows,
who at once begin a mild Irritation
with girls of the family just
arrived. A group Of girls, chaper-
oned by their mother next put in
their appearance, and soon after
the father stalks in behind. The
hospitable dame or witch Of "Gob-
lin Cave" feels honOred beyond eX-
preston. She sits with the older
women and shy young girls around
a glowing fire near which pale of
coffee is standing to keep hot.
The crowd numbering per-
haps thirty or forty young people
have been chatting all this while
in the spacious dance room, the
boys and men, tattered working
clothes standing up, and their
swarthy enchantresses, rolled in
gaudily patterned calico dresses
or ornamented with brilliantly
colored ribbons, gleefully seated
on the ledge Of unquarried rock.
At last the distressing notes of an
ACCORDION are heard off in the dis
tant chapparal, nearer and nearer it
comes. Now it has arrived. "Musi-
ca! musica! Nive la musica"
shout dozen voices, and directly
the dancing begins. At last the
music plays gallop, now polka,
now a waltz, then it repeats gal
lop, polka and waltz, with a schot-
fish and peculiar kind of quadrille,
perhaps a native dance, thrown in.
The players change, but the music
always emanates from the same
doleful source, the accordion.
The moon has far advanced in
his night travel it must be nearly
3 o'clock, and the party breaks up
as If by common consent. The lit
tie group of old folks, who, with
the hospitable "Witch Of Goblin
Cave" have been smoking ciga-
rettes and slipping coffee all night
long, are the first to rise from their
enjoyment, the younger folks are
called and the grave digger dance
at Goblin cave has come to an end.
The parties leave in groups Of ten
and twelve by shortcut trails to
their little novels, laughing and
talking over the delights just en-
