a eABY COLDER AND KING.

The Little Ruler OF Nepaul Who is Bur
dencd With Long Name.
He was bright, handsome little
heather, only ten years old, born
soldier aud a king, and his name, IN
cluning his title, was Maharaj AdhiraJ
Prithwi Biz Bil1ram Jung Bahadur Sab
Sahib Bahadur Sumshere Jung.
If the possession of crown and
kingdom, a gorgeous body-guard and
retinue Of slaves, Il jeweled sword, q
cream-colored pony, q wife, and a long
name, could suffice to make boy hap
py. the small king OF Nepaul should
have dwelt in continual bliss, in his
picturesque dominions between the
frontiers of Thibet and Hindustan,
dozen years ago. And yet, from an
American boys point of view, he can
not be said 10 have had much fun.
Asiatic kings are net supposed to play
leap-frce or football, or to swing on
gates; toboggans, bicycles and roller
Skates are unknown in Nepaul; and
how is a poor little heather TO be happy
without any Fourth OF July?
The Nepaulese boy is poorly provided
with games OF any sort; life is to him
butone eternal turnout OF soldiers; and
paraees and reviews begin in time TO
nall upon ones imagination and enthu-
siasm in a land whore drums never
stop beating, where swords are flashing
and chargers are prancing, from morn
to lewy eve all the year round For OF
the several races that compose the popu-
lation of Nepaul--the GhooriSas, the
Newars, the Bhootiyas, the Lilnbus,
the I,epchas, and the minor rabble OF
barbarians that.infests the iungles and
tho mountain passes--the wiry. herce
and ,nasterful little Ghoorkas are the
dominant race. Very proud are they
of their descent from the lnvlnciDle
warriors and horsernen Of Brabman
ckxno, in the twelfth century, were
driven out of Rajputana by the over
,yhelming Moslem hordes, more than
century ago raided Nepaul, seized the
capital, .overran the country, and set
S upa government OF spears . and shields as
No blowing and digging, no barterlng
and tradine, no tinksring and carving
for them. they were Rajputs and born
G-hters: battle was their business and
4Ici,.nastine. and the sword aud the
smear their tools and playthings, so
{ shev left the digging and the planting,
ana fin,sering and the trading, TO the;
Newars and the Bhootiyas, and the rest T.

A Negro Superstition.

while I was in Florida l was a great
deal amused at an incident I witnessed,
which illustrated a superstition that ap-
peared to be prevalent among the ne
grOes, - said a tourist lone day an old
negro who had been out rabbit hunting
came home, bringing with him an i'm
mense Tattlesnake which he had killed
He exhibited his trophy with pride TO
crowd of tourists who were standing about
in front of the hotel. The reptile measured
feet inches and had y rattles and a
button. One of the guests offered the ne
gro 81 for the rattles The negro did not
seem to think that was enough for so
valuable trophy and said he would rot
sell them for less than So
Just at that moment another old negro
came upon the scene, and upon hearing
what was going on said TO the owner Of
She snake 'Doan yo' cut off dem rattles'
'' 'WhRrfo' won't ! cut off dem rattIes
ef l kin get 81 for um?' demanded the
other
- Doan' yo know dat ef yo' cut of dem
rattles yo' go blind' When yo' cut 'em
of, de milk ob de snake 1y Up in yo' eye
an blind yo''
The owner of the rattlesnake pondered
for a moment, and then he said: Eff any
gentleman give me 50 for dem rattles, he
can have EN-. I cut 'em of, an ef I go
blind all right. I'ze seen ernuf any
how. st Louis Globe Democrat

Tobacco and Nicotine.

Many people regard tobacco and nico-
tine as synonymous terms, though it is
known that there are varieties of tobacco
which contain practically no nicotine
whatever. A Venetian doctor, Signor q.
B. de Toni, has been making some eX-
haustive researches on "Nicotiana Ia
bacum"-the variety of tobacco generally
used by smokers-and has just published
the results Of his investigations. He finds
that nicotine, which is an alkaloid, is To-
Gated chiefly in the epiderinal tissues, but
is entirely absent from the seed and young
plant In the root of the mature plant it
occurs in the cortical tissue and especially
in the layer of cells Immediately beneath
the epidermis. In the branches, leaf stalk,
lamina of the leaf, peduncle, calyx and
corolla it is confined almost entirely to
the epidermal cells and occurs chiefly in
those at the base of the hairs. In smaller
quantities it is found in the anthers and
pistil, but the mesophyl and assimilation
tissue of the leaf were entirely devoid OF
nicotine in all the samples examined. Dr.
Toni believes the functions of nieotiDe to
be simply excretoTy, being a product OF
the reduction Of O1vgenOus substances.
By some il has been assumed that nicotine
exercises protective influence on the to-
bacco plant 10 keep marauding insects at
bay, but this assumption is not borne out
by observation, as both the fresh and dried
leaves are eaten by many insects.-PhilA-

General.

Special DisDatch 20 the Daily Eagle.
I'll RENO, .. t., Aug. 22.-It will be a
sorry old day for the kiowa and Com
manche Indians If they are intending TO
20 on the war path, as is reported here to-
day. The tribes are not numerically
strong and the settlers could band to-
gether in a very short time and make brief
work OF the Redskins.
The Indians complaint is rot an unjust
one. About $50 coo is due them from the
cattlemen for the lease of their country
for grazing purposes. These same cattle
men have. in conjunction with Hoke
Smith, tied up the Intended opening of
the Commanche country and disappointed
thousands of settlers.
For months they have also refused 10
pay the lease money o the Indians and the
Indians are becoming reckless aud dissatis =
fed. They have now begun TO destroy
fences and slaughter cattle sand become
more lawless every day.
It is thought that the next step will be
for the Indians to pounce upon the men in
charge of the cattle and massacre may
result
Fort Sill with equipped troops is not far
