SEPTEMBER ?, 1895.
The San Francisco papers
with one accord speak of Fred
ericks, the man who failed in
an attempt to rob a bank, but
killed the cashier, as going to
his death bravely. 1t is a
question if these men going to
the scaffold without showing
signs of fear are in a complete
or normal condition of CON
seriousness. They must reach
some sort of physical and men
tai stage that the doctors fail
to write about. When it comes
right to the threshold death is
not much of an affair after all,
but the class who are CON
demned to execution does not
include many men capable of
entertaining this calm view of
existence. Then it is clear that
the sensebilities of these crimi-
mails are largely suspended.
Even Charles Miller, the "boy
murderer" went bravely to
his death" at the age of l6,
When Is he had killed two
young men. Miller had an
almost mature mind, but that
it was anything like normal as
he walked to his fate with
out wavering, is absurd to
suppose. OF two other cases
that came under the observa-
ton of the writer the central
figures were full grown men.
They walked to the scaffold
coolly, Snow was falling when
one of them looked around for
the last time. He smiled and
cheerfully babe goodbye to a
number of acquaintance. This
was in a small western town.
After the man was dead they
laid him out on bench in the
jail corridor. The sports of the
town filed past this bier and
touched the hands "for luck. "
His hands were pulled and blue
and so was his face and there
was a red streak around his
neck.
In spite of the cholera scare
and the consequent business
depression, (which by the way
we consider all nonsense, we
should not be alarmed at this
little outbreak, but brace up,
we sold a bicycle on Saturday
and have had number of calls
and inquiries for our Monarch
and Tribune wheels. Riding
in the open air on a wheel is
an invigorating and healthfu
exercise, and a great preventa.
tive of diseases. Our wheels
have taken firm hold upor
the people of the islands, anc
it is the popular and common
thing to ask man on a whee
us this a Monarch or Tribune
don't you like them, are they
not the best wheels 2" This
popularity must mean thai
these bicycles are superior il
quality and price to Other
makes and hence people talk
about what they know to be
the best.
The Honolulu Fire Depart.
ment has been furnished with
the celebrated ball nozzle tc
fight fires, and the chief of the
department speaks very highly
of it. The spray from these
nozzles is uniform in all direc-
tions and distributes the water
evenly, and when used at a fire
they make such a spread OF
moisture as to leave no place
for combustion. When used
as lawn sprinklers their supe-
riority is at once noticed, as
the grass is wetted so evenly
as to make the use of the ball

"There is one prejudice" says an Eng
fish woman now residing in this country,
that have had 10 overcome since coming
to America, which was my antipathy to
sponge cake and lady fingers, as so often
served here with ice cream. My associa-
tons with them are of the gloomiest sort.
Lady fingers are served in all parts of Eng
land with light refreshments at funerals
and usually go by the name of funeral
biscuits.

Esquimaux Character.

Although the Esquimaux laugh at
death and make a jest OF sorrow,
they are none the less indulgent hus-
bands and affectionate fathers. True
communists in both theory and prac-
tice; unselfishly sharing their last
morsel with smile; simple, kind
ly, dirty. good-natured, child-like
race, possessing no hope Of better
ment; giving no thought to the
future; Systematically forgetful of
the past; living only in the present,
and making the heaviest burdens Of
that present light with irrepressible
cheerfulness of heart!
An illustration of the apathy with
which mortality is regarded by the
Esquimaux was afforded by an Incl
dent of our cruise. Ten deaths from
blood poisoning had occurred among
the natives within ten days, yet
there were but few evidences of sor-
row or alarm. When / expressed
sympathy with a man whom l had
employed as pilot, and who, within
month, had lost his father, wife,
child and wife's brother, he said to
me, smiling.y:
AT chook! Not so many to feed.
Flour dear. No fish. Plenty men
hungry. Plenty men die. Ananak |!
Very good! Byme-bye no more Es-
quimaux. All sleep-me-every-
body. Sol" Then emphasized his
philosophy with a hearty laugh.

bunting Wolves In RussIa .

In Russia there is q method en-
ployed for capturing wolves which
sometimes proves very efficacious
and which In It's carrying out exem-
plifies the singular combination OF
ferocity, daring and cowardice which
distinguishes these animals. Partly
surrounding house in the forest, an
Enclosure or yard Is formed of high
and strong timber, to which admis-
sion from the outside can be obtained
through one gate only. This is so ar
ranged and weighted as to close auto
matically, and on the opposite side
of the enclosure another very strong
ly constructed gate leads to the farm
premises. When wolves are known
to be in the neighborhood q man
mounted upon good horse, and car
rying the ever attractive pig, scours
the surrounding country until the
cries Of the latter have brought to-
gether a hungry train. Keeping q
little way ahead OF of his pursuers
the horseman then makes for the ar
tificial enclosure, into which he
dashes by the outer gate, and out
again through the one opposite. The
latter is Immediately banged to and
securely barred by the peasants in
charge, while the former closes of it's
own accord upon the closely follow
ing wolves. who are thus fairly
trapped. No sooner do the creatures
become aware of this than the most
AFFECT fear takes the place OF feroci-
ty, and their captors dispose OF them
with axes and cudgels at their
leisure.

In making railway tunnels, and in
sinking wells and pits in Nevarda,
Utah and Arizona, salt strata are
often struck at varying depths, some
times as much as hundred yards
beneath the surface. Hundreds Of
fish. perfectly preserved, are found
in blocks OF this pure salt.
These salt fields are supposed to
occupy what was once the bottom Of
lake thirty miles long. fifteen
miles wide and many hundred feet
deep. The fish found resemble the
pike species and are wholly unlike
the fish found in the lakes and rivers
Of that region at the present time.
The specimens found are not petri-
fed, but are perfectly preserved in
the flesh as those but recently frozen
in block OF ice.
When taken out and exposed to
the heat of the sun they become as
hard as blocks of wood. Occasionally
workmen at the salt works have eaten
these antediluvian relics. Men Of
learning, who have investigated the
matter, say that these salt preserved
fish are at least 10, 600 years old.

A wave that rolled up on the wind-swepi
beach
Left pure white rose on the shining
sand;
i stopped for the flower that had found
my reach
And sheltered its leaves in my tremb
ling hand
Though it long had tossed on the ocean
wide,
Mid the storm and roar of the angry
The wind and the waves and the ebbing
tide
Had borne it at last to its peace with
me.
The waves and the rocks and the winds
that passed
Had torn at its heart ere they set II
free.
But a tender hand found the flower at
last,
And no storm shall live in its life with
me.
The wind and the waves were the storm
Of life,
The past that is dead is the angry sea,
And my pure white rose is my precious
wife.
And her joy and peace is her love for
me.

One of the most interesting mu-
seums In Boston has been removed
to Hartford-the museum of curios-
tiles collected during IS years by the
missionaries OF the American board
and for many years displayed In cab
inets In a little dark room In the Con-
gregational House. The collection
is to be deposited In the library Of
the Hartford theological Seminary,
and Boston will know 1t no more.
Many of the objects were worth
less-unless from sentimental point
Of view-pebbles from Palestine, bits
Of wood or stone broken from tenn
pies and the like-but others were OF
the greatest rarity, interest and sell
entific value, and some were unique.
There were little idols from India,
models illustrating life and manu-
facture in China or japan, and saw
age arms and implements from the
South Seas. Unlike many similar
objects seen nowadays. they were
genuine document" of savage or
barbarous life before 1t had been
touched and influenced by Western
civilization. To the ethnographer
they were invaluable.
Particularly interesting were the
idols and curiosities from the Sand
witch Islands, all OF them obtained
by the earlier missionaries. They
included the great idol Of the Ha-
waiian war god, one of the most in
teresting things in its way ever
brought to America. The Hawaiian
portion Of the collection was not sent
to Hartford. but, through the infiu-
ence of Mr.. Gorham ID. Gilman, the
Hawaiian Consul in Boston, it has
gone to enrich the Bishop Museum
Of Hawaiian antiquities in Honolulu.

\ DANGEROUS TIP.
II Nearly Cost q Limb, and Perhaps
Life.

1t Nearly Cost q LIMB ono TernapS
q Life.
There is hospital superintendent
in New York to-day who, when he
was hospital clerk, advised an APP
plicant to lie about the history of
his case, and so got him admitted.
When he thinks Of his kindness and
what followed it he shudders at the
recollection.
The would-be patient was suffering
from a tubercular knee. He had
been disabled for three years. The
clerk knew that case Of three years
standing would be denied admission.
He pitied the sufferer.
"They won t examine you at first, I"
he said. "Tell them your knee
was all right until q few days ago.
Then they'll accept you. Once in
you III be all right.
The patient followed this advice
and was admitted. But he didn t
stop at that. When the surgeons
examined his knee he astonished
them by saying it had been well un-
til few days before. They thought
it strange and cross-examined him.
He was firm.
That made all the difference in the
world. Had he told them that the
limb had been affected for three
years, they would have treated it in
the ordinary way.
But heroic measures were necessa-
ry if what he told them was true, for
then it seemed that the case was one
of cancerous growth and that ampu-
tation at the hip joint was necessary,
The operation is often fatal.
The patient heard with firmness
their decision to amputate. The date
for the amputation was set. On the
day before it was to be performed
the kind hearted clerk went into the
ward to ask how the patient was get
ting along.
My operation is set down for to-
morrow, the man said.
Operation !" said the clerk in sur
prise. what kind of an operation?"
;'Amputation at the hip. 1 may
live through it. It's better to have
1t over anyway"
''GoodneSS, man exclaimed the
clerk, you don't mean to tell me
you stuck to that story about your
leg only having been affected for a
few days? Yov told them the truth
after you found you had been admit
ted?"
mo, 1 didn't" he of the bad limb
responded. They've questioned me
several times, but I've stuck to my
first story like BRICK
The clerk ran to the house surgeon
in mad haste and confessed that he
had inspired the false history Of
the case. There was q consultation
of surgeons. The operation has not
taken place yet.
Better still, the patient walks on
two good legs to-day. The clerk is
superintendent. But when he thinks
of what would have happened IL he
had postponed for day his friendly
call upon the man with the bad Leg

The latest sensation in Birming-
ham is the doll-snatching dog. The
animal is the property of lady who
resides at Small Heath, and some
time ago one of her little girls was
very fond of inducing the dog to carry
her doll, and the animal acquired
quite passion for relieving the child
of her precious charge. The dog
would carry it about for hours, and
oftentimes take it to his kennel and
lie down beside it for the greater
part OF the day. He never harmed
the doll, always gripping it's clothes,
and not defacing it in the slightest.
Up to certain point its tendencies
were productive Of unadulterated fun,
and so popular did the dog become
that the children of the neighbor-
hood frequently came to it's owners
house with the query, please, Mrs.
-. can your dog come and take my
doll walk?"
But by degrees the animal 8 heal
thy affection for dolls developed into
an absolute passion, and now q more
unpopular quadruped does not exist
in the whole suburb. Not content
with carrying a doll when requested
to do so, the animal commenced to
prowl about the neighborhood and
forcibly deprive stray children of
their treasured pets. Whenever and
wherever he saw doll in a child's
arms he would stealthily walk up to
her, seize the prize and run off with
it to his kennel. In single day he
has been known to bring four cap
tives home, and the maternal indig-
nation of the neighborhood is some
thing terrible to contemplate. II
that dog does not mend his ways
shortly, his career will be prema-
turely closed. The animal should
be engaged at Christmas time in the
interest of the Children's Hospital;
he would soon provide dolls for all
the inmates.
