After They Got 1t on the Boy Had Some

Family discipline is still maintained
in some American families, as Of course
it ought to be in all. The Rehoboth
Herald furnishes an instance. A small
boy got silver in his foot, according to
The Herald, and his mother expressed
her intention of putting a poultice ON
the wound. The boy, with the natural
foolishness which is bound up in the
heart Of achild, objected to the proposed

ADVENTURE WITH a MUMMY.

The Archeologist Lost His Treasure, but
Escaped With His Life.
A French arch@ologist travelling
among the Andes in search Of knowl-
edge and specimens had a great desire
to explore some caves in the sides of the
precipices. They were doubtless ancient
tombs and would probably yield him a
treasure. He selected favorable spot,
therefore, rugged sort of chair or seat
between two leather cords and engaged
two Indians to let him down from the
brow of the precipice. "a descento Of
800 feet made in this way" he tells us.
lis extraordinarily long. ~
However, he reached the cave in safe
ty, and on forcing q passage into it was
rewarded by finding two skulls and a
mummy, Thoroughly dry" he says,
land pretty solid.'' He passed string
through the eyeholes Of. the skulls and
attached them to his belt. Then he took
the mummy in his arms and signaled to
the Indians to draw him up. With his
heels he defended; himself against the
jutting rocks, and in few minutes was
almost on an even with the top. The
Indians knew nothing about his load.
Just then the yellow skull Of one Of
their ancestors appeared before their
eyes, and the idiots gave start Of sur
prise The Frenchman thought they
must have let go the cord.
lit was the affair Of second, he
writes. "What passes in the brain Of a
man at such an instant is understandable.
I did not drop yard, but I experienced
all the horror Of man in rapidly fall
ing through space. My hands let go the
mummy, and while, covered with q
cold sweat, I was helped over the edge
of the cliff by the Indians, the mummy
bounded from rock to rock and landed
in bits at the bottom Of the chasm. ="
He overwhelmed the Indians with in
vective, but to no purpose Such dead
men, they assured him, if disturbed in
their sepulcher, had the habit Of kissing
the Indians, who persisted infallibly un-
der their deadly breath. One Of the two
declared that his own father had died
in that way.
The other assured the Frenchman that
at the moment when the head of the
mummy showed above the edge of the
rocks it opened it's mouth. If it had not
luckily fallen into the abyss, it would
have cursed them forever. -Pittsburg

possible also that the crab uses the
sprigs for admnment, as it often selects
RroWths Of bright colors. In its larger
growth, after it has come to be called 9
spider crab, it ceases to decorate itself,
though sometimes the seeds Of marine
plants settle on it's. back and grow there,
but it never loses the handy use Of its
pincher claws. sa . Sz$ i.
+ The largest>o the spider crabs at the
aquarium is about 8 inches il length.
From side to side its legs spread about
eight inches. The bottom Of the spider
crabs tank, is covered with gravel. The,
tank was cleaned the other day and all
but about three inches Of the water
drawn off. When the reflling Of the
tank was begun, all the crabs gathered
around the intake. Crabs and fishes in
captivity usually do this, welcoming
the fresh incoming water as man man N IN
captivity might welcome an incoming
current Of fresh air. The flow Of water
through the htake pipes can be regulat-
ed at will. Here it was permitted to
run in at its natural force, which was
about that of water flowing from a hose
The flow was broken somewhat by the
wire strainer over the opening OF the
intake, placed there to keep little fishes
and crustaceans from getting into the
pipes, but it was too strong for the
spider crabs to face They began to set
tie themselves down into the gravel and
to pile gravel upon their backs, appar- Z
emily to weight themselves down SO
that they could Withstand it. On q
sandy or muddy bottom they could have
buried or partly buried themselves.
Here the work was more difficult, but
they were equal to it. j I: a.5
They would work their legs down in
to the gravel and then lift them, dis
placing stones in that manner, and with
their pincher claws they would pick up
stones Sometimes crab would pick up
two gravel stones at once, one il each
claw, and place them both on its back.
It might tackle a stone SO big as to re- {.
quire both claws in the handling of it
and raise that and put it on its back. :
Some of the stones would roll off down
by the crabs legs, but they were not
lost there, for they helped to build up
around, and the crab would 60 ahead
and put up others on it's back @ Y .s I
When the tank was full and the in
flow cut off, the crabs went walking
about again as usual. New York Sun. !

each driver tracked his elephant by the

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Murder of Mrs. Conner and Her DAuEh-
ter Practically Admltted-said They
Have Signed q Confession on the Prom
ise of Immunity From Punishment for
Their Share In the Crime.
/ CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The police have
at last obtained partial confession
from Pat Quinlan, the janitor Of
Holmes Castle, and have, they believe,
positive evidence that Benjamin i.
Pitzel was murdered in this city by
Holmes and the corpse sent to Phila-
delphia.
The confession was wormed out OF
the Quinlans by means of tip given
the local officers by Detective Geyer Of
Philadelphia, who arrived in this city
during the day. The exact nature Of
the story told by the .Quinlans the po-
lice will not reveal, and, in fact, Chief
Badenoch, and Inspector Fitzpatrick
have both denied that Quinlan or his
wife made any confession at all. Not
withstanding the denial of the police,
however, it is positively known that
Quinlan 50
Made and Signed Confession.
Later it was learned that the confess
sion covered all the details of the muir
der of Pitzel, with the exception Of the
actual place in which the crime was
committed. The confession was OBJ
tanned from the Quinlans only after
the hardest kind of work, and at the
price of promise Of immunity from
punishment for all part the Quinlans
may have borne in the murder of Pit
eel or other crimes committed by
Holmes.
Mrs. Pat Quinlan knew of the disap-
pearance of Mrs. Julia L. Conner in
Holmes Castle and saw the body of
the woman after she was dead. She
further knew and has admitted that
Pearl Conner a7
Disappeared in the Castle
after her return from the Quinlan
farm at Lake Michigan. Chief Babe.
noch took Mrs. Quinlan and her hus.
band to the Castle, with Inspector
Fitzpatrick and Detectives Fitzpatrick
and Morton. The object of this, trip
was more for the purpose Of letting
Quinlan and his wife meet than any
other. They were closeted together
alone for an hour in the room in which
the Julia Conner carpet lies and the
chair belonging to the murdered
woman stands. What took place be-
tween them no one knows, but Chief
Badenoch and the detectives are nearer
the solution of the Holmes mystery
than they ever were before. They
now have positive proof that Mrs.
Conner and her daughter Julia, OF
Cora Quinlan, were murdered in the
building while the mother was in his
employ. Further, Quinlan and his
wife ~
Have Proved to the Police
that Mrs. Conner was so we'll aware of
the schemes which Holmes was operat-
ing that it became necessary for
Holmes to put the woman out Of the
way.
Pat Quin1an and his wife have adj
mitted partially that business in re-
ceiving and disposing of dead bodies
stolen from country graveyards was
carried on in the Castle under the di-
rection of Holmes. The graveyards of
the western portion ofMichigan-Grand
Haven, Holland, st. Joseph and other
places - were despoiled of bodies.
These were brought to the Castle and
chemically treated and then disposed of
to medical colleges. The collins were
remade by Holmes, Quinlan and Piet-
eel and disposed Of to undertakers at
fair profit. -
