CHICAGO GAS GOES UP.


The bulls In Chicago Gas attempted q

Ing the shorts a good scare. A large
amount Of stock, which had been loaned
out last week, was called In to-day, and
the timid bears rather than pay high
premiums and run any further risks,
covered UP.
The short interest, however, is by no
means extinguished, as the hackers of

conviction that they can work serious
damage to the latter.
Chicago Gas rose 7-S to II "a, and re-

Mr. Shepard would not venture a

FIGHTING POWER OF CHINA

About a Million Men in the Army Now
and Many More Available.
The fighting power of Chinese militia
when armed with modern weapons j.;
evidenced, says the Nineteenth Cen
fury, by the frequent rcpulses and de-
feats which the French suffered during
he campaign in TOnQuin, the last being
that of Gen. Negrier, near Lang-Son
pine days before the FrancO-ChineSa
treaty of peace was sighed. and when
the French army of 600 lpation in Ton
quin had been raised to 10000 men.
These Chinese troops were merely lev
les from Yunnan, Kuang-tang and
Kuang-si, and not part of the 10000
who had been trained by European Of
6cers in Northern China. The total
army of China at the time. including
100000 militia, known rs the Green
Flag army, scattered throughout the
various provinces. was said to be about
100000 men. In times of necessity
this force could be largely Increased.
The following quotation from an att
thor who had experience with Gen.
Gordon's "ever victorious army" shows
Cinnamon are admirably suitable for
soldiers:
The old notion is pretty we'll got rid
Of that they are at all a cowardly pcn.
pie when properly paid and efficiently
led; while the regularity and order
of their habits, which dispose them to
peace in ordinary times, give place
to q daring bordering upon rccklessncss
IN time of war. Their intelligence and
capacity for remembering facts makH
them W ell fitted for use in modern war
fare, as does aslo the GOODNESS and
Calmness of their disposition. Physical
ly they are, on the average, not so
strong as Europeans, but considerably
more so than most of the other races
Of the East, and on a cheap diet of
rice, vegetables, salt fish and pork they
can go through vast amount of
fatigue, whether in a temperate climate
CT tropical one, where Europeans
are ill-fitted fer eXertitn. Their wants
are few; they have no caste prejudiceS.
and hardly any appetite for intoxirat
ing liquors.

A Trick of the Butcher Bird May Ex-
plain This Occurrence.

A Trick of the Butcher Bird May Ex-
plain This Occurrence.
This is the proper season of the year
for fish" and also snake stories, and
that almost anything from Il 1O-pound
speckled trout to a 6-inch whale, OF q
hairy lizard to boa constructor, passes
current without question. But it is
said truth is stranger than felton,"
and the facts herein related leave no
chance for argument on this point, I'M
less it be from a natural history or
scientific standpoint.
Last Satm day Rev. J. r. Robinson,
United Bretheren pastor of Lnis place,
and his wife spent the day with Ma
THIN Sherman, farmer Of FairgTOve
Township. During the day Mr. Sher-
man invited the reverend gentleman
to go with him to the orchard, where a
very remarkable spectacle was present
ed to his view. From the limbs of a
number of the apple trees were Sus-
pended a large number of small snakes
from 5 to 8 inches in length. The
snakes were dead, and each had a
small perfOratiOn, identically alike. just
below the neck, by which they were
hung on to the tiny stubs or sprouts
projecting from the limbs They We're
hanging from all parts of the trees,
from the very tips of the toDmOst
branches to the lowest and furthcrest
reaching. On one tree alone Mr.. Rob
insOn said he counted thirty snakes
thus suspended while it was claimed
the farmers children had knocked off
nearly as many more, which was evil
denced by the fact that large number
of the snakes were lying on the ground
under the tree. The snakes were all Of
the common garter variety, and, with
the exception of one, which was about
feet in length, were small.
1t was very remarkable sight, and
Mr.. Robinson says he is inclined to
leave the strange phenomenon for ma
turalists to speculate on. In answer To
the question if it was possible for some
person to have placed the reptiles there.
he said he was thoroughly convinced
no human hands could have done it,
In the first place, where could they
have got the snakes, and second, how
could they have suspended them from
tiny branches at the highest points,
hardly strong enough to bear the
weight. Mr.. Robinson also said that
Mr., Sherman was at first quite super
stitious in regard to the matter, and
seemed impressed with the feeling that
it might pretend some impending cal
amity.
The Pioneer" does not pretend to be
''up" on snakeology, but we will ven
ture an explanation that if the matter
is ever solved it will be found to be the
work of some bird, possibly of the
woodpecker species. Is is said to be a
fact in natural history that in tropical
regions a certain bird, whenever it finds
small snake, will perforate it with
it's bill and kill it, after which it will
impale the body on the thorn Of a thorn
apple tree.-Vassar (Mich) Pioneer.
