The Skunk's Bite.

SIS the skunk a dangerous animal?
/ should say so, remarked l.. p. Glaze
of st. Louis, the other day. Il know
very many people will be surprised at
the assertion, but there is one species
of this unpopular tribe that is as much
to be dreaded as rattlesnake, as l
learned one year while sojourning in
western Texas. One night in midsum-
mer party of us were camping out on
the prairie of Llano county, when we
were awakened by the screams of a
colored boy who had been taken along
to cook for the outfit. He said that
something mad bitten him. and exam
ination showed that his head was pret-
ty badly torn. There was unmistaka-
bic evidences of a skunk in the vicini-
ty. and there was no doubt that it had
done the deed. The sequel is that a
few days later the boy died a most hor-
rible death of hydrophobia. | learned
that it was not IA r@re thing for the bite
of these miserable little cats to produce
the dread ailment, and several well au-
thentcated cases of it occurred before
l left the state Some people think hy-
dro9hooia finds its origin in these ami

"DON'T GET RED HEADED"

Is 1t a Phrase Merely Denoting Hot Tenn
per or n Physiological Fact:
The general supposition is that to
get red headed is slang for getting
angry. This is based upon the preva-
lent belief that redheaded persons are
more eXcitable and liable to sudden
passion than other people-a belief
hardly in harmony with the fact that
the darl-haired dark-skinned races of
southern climes are more highly strung
and violently passionate than the fair
haired natives of the north.
But does not the hair really and ac-
tually change hues under the more
violent emotions, just as does the com
plexion? There are plenty of instances
where intense fear and mental suffer
ing have blanched hair to SNOWY white

signal stations in the Mountains of Flu
rope and America.
In paper recently read before the
Boston Scientific society Mr.. Rotch. of
the Blue Hill observatory, makes some
statements about high-altitude sta
tions for meteorological observation.
The first summit station ill the world
was that established in 1870 upon
Mount Washington, at an elevation of
$3.50 feet Some remarka BILE Observa-
tions have been made there, such, for
instance, as a temperature of fifty de-
grees below zero during the progress
of gale blowing at 1874 miles an hour.
The station at Pixies Peak, IA, l34 feet
high, has been closed, and there are
now but two summit stations in the
United States where observations are
made regularly, viz, at the Lick OBJ
servatory and at Blue hill, near Bos-
ton. The highest meteorological sta
tion in the world is that maintained
by Harvard college observatory in
Peru, at the summit of El Misti, 10, 300
feet. 1t is visited several times a
month by one of the staff of the Har-
ward observatory below, at Arequipa,
who attends to its self-registering in
struments. checks the readings, etc.
A splendid chain of high altitude sta
tions exists in France, including those
on Mount NentouX, $3.50 feet, and the
Pic du Midi, 9,440 feet. The highest Of
the stations established by M. Valiot
on or near Mount Blanc is at the
Rochers des Bosses, II, $50 feet, which
is provided with self-recording instru-
ments capable of running two weeks
without attention. and is in use during
the summer. The Mont Blanc obser-
yatory of NJ. Jansen is not yet in OPP
Grafton; it has an altitude of Is, $50 feet.
The highest permanent observatory
now in use in Europe is the Sonnblicl1
station. 10, 10 feet. in the Austrian
Alps, which has given valuable results.
Switzerland and Italy have we'll To-
Gated and equipped mountain stations,
aud the one on Ben Nevis, in England,
though not 50 .igh, has given ten
years unbroken series of hourly OBJ
servations. OF course it is possible to
send self-recording instruments up iii
balloons to a much greater height
than person could reach and be able
to breathe An altitude of ten miles
and over has been reached by this
means in France, and last July in
Germany, with very valuable results.
Kites also have carried thermometers
to considerable heights with good re-
suits. DR.. Berson last year reached an
altitude of 10000 feet, or nearly six
miles. making from his balloon some
very significant observations upon
temperature and humidity winds and
clouds, in a seldom visited Eegion.
He is said to have suffered little from
the diminishing pressure of the atmos-
phere at this great height, probably
because of his inhalation of oxygen
from time to time. Louis Globe

SOME CURIOUS HOBBIES.
Queer Whims OF Minds GiTen to COntem-
plating Important Matters.

plating Important Matters.
very peculiar hobby was that Of
an old woman who had been employed
at court in the capacity of nurse, and
who had a most extensive collection OF
pieces of wedding cake. The cakes to
which the fragments belonged had
been cut at the marriages of the high
est in the land. The place of honor
was given to a portion of Queen Vic
toria's wedding cake; and nearly every
royal marriage that occurred since the
accession of William ". was repre-
sented in this curious collection.
Lord Petersham, a noted dandy in
his day, had a hobby for walking
sticks and also for various kinds OF
tea and snuff, All round his sitting
room were shelves, those upon one
side laden with canisters of Souchong.
Bohea, Congou, Pekoe, Russian and
other varieties of tea The shelves
opposite were decorated with hand
some jars, containing every kind of
snuff, while snuff boxes lay here,
there and everywhere. Lord Peter
sham prided himself upon possessing
VIC iIiool iAINChb di "a VI pONC9
to be found in Europe, and was sup
posed to have fresh box for every day
in the year. When some one admired
a beautiful old blue Sevres box he was
using, he lisped out: Yes, it is a nice
summer box, but would not do for
winter wear"
Count Henry Won Bruhl, a famous
German diplOmatist. busted himself in
collecting boots, shoes, slippers and
wigs of all shapes, sizes and fashions,
This curious hobby was rivaled by that
of a late king of Bavaria, whose collec-
ton Of hats was unique.
A king of Wurtemburg boasted the
possession of above nine thousand cop
les of the Bible; and a nicotine-loving
American reveled in a treasury of
pipes, of which he could count three
hundred and sixty-tive specimens in
meerscham, briar, glass, china and
clay.
The duke of Snss ex, brother of King
George H., had pair of hobbies that
were wide as the poles asunder. lie
was an interchangeable collector Of
Bibles and of cigars.
Pope Plus IX. was a collector of
slippers. He always had twenty-four
pairs in his wardrobe, made of red
cloth embroidered with gold, and or
namented with solid gold cross, his
chamberlain being strictly enjoned
not to part with single pair, however
well worn they might be, to any of the
many devout applicants for them.
Wigs and walking sticks were the
special vanities of William Evans, some
time principal clerk in the prothono-
tary's Office for Anglesea Carnavon and
Merioneth, and so highly did he value
them that he bequeathed one of each
to three different maiden ladies, for
whom he had in turn felt tenderness
an early life. Another gentleman had
hobby for scarf pins, He is said to
have kept book containing as many
pages as there are days in the year, in
each of which a different pin was
stuck. Every morning he fastened
into his scarf the pin which occupied
the space allotted to that particular
date. returning it to its place when he
undressed at night.-Tit- Bits.

A committee was sent for Mr.. Miller.

considerable length. A synopsis of his
remarks follows:
Mr.. Miller argued forcibly against the tariff
being taken out OF politics. He held that
the conditions were such as to prevent it,
II not render 1t impossible. Any party whose
policy did not raise sufficient revenue and
created deficiencies was failure The
republicans were not for tariff for revenue
only. but for q tariff for surplus also His
argument for the Monroe doctrine and the
American flag on Hawaiian soil was svigor-

issues, but he argued at length for sound
money and such reorganization of the
banking system as to extend the cir
