A curious western experience Is related
by Mr.. Walter Graves Of Monte Vista,

a widely travelled man in that section of
the country, was member of tho first
Powell expedition that explored the Grand
canyon Of the Colorado river and Is largely
interested In enterprises In the famous San
Luis valley, where he says they can raise
25 pound turnips and 10 pound beets. Mr..
Graves Is also an expert on matters Of irri-
cation. The experience which ho tells Is
about a pumping station erected by him
recently on an Indian reservation in Ari-
zona territory.
The reservation was bounded on one side
by n river and the pump works were erect
ed on the banks adjoining the reservation.
The cost was several thousand dollars, and
the outlook was promising for the Indians
whose lands were to be irrigated One
night however, big storm, such rs are
coffmon to that locality, came up, result

"Tho way Mr.. Hubs came to kill him
was this: He had three good dogs, and in
the night his little boy heard the dogs after
something and got up and went out. The
dogs had the lion up tree, but the boy
could not see what IL was, SO he went back

doing that Mr.. Hubs ran up, placed the

Six big policemen In full uniform fled

A politician out OF q job heard the query

stopped and stared In.
The policemen moved toward the door,

compelled to walk out to the car track
Those in the rear struggled and pushed,

surging mob on the street.
The horse cars were compelled to stop
because the drivers could not make the

Japan,s Hairy Aborsginals.

The only known raco of human beings which haye their bodies entirely covered with hair of varying lengths is the so called "dog mcn" or "hairy Ainos" of the Yczo group or islands, tho most north erly possessions of the empire of Japan. Tho whole Aino population, according to t very latest Japanese census, is composed of about 19,000 people, less than half of whom aro pure bred. They arc dwarfs in stature, tho average man measuring only about feet 0inches and tho woman about feet inches Their heads are small and slope sharply backward. They have very largo mouths and thick full lips. The up- per lip is extremely long and the chin round and short. They arc all round oddi- ties of the oldest sort, but their most marked peculiarity lies in the hairy coyer- ing of their bodies, arms and legs. In the majority of tho adults, female us well. as males, the hair is thick, black and wavy and inclined to arrange itself in tufts or bunch curls. Tho hair is sufficiently thick to conceal the skin over the entire body, but is heaviest on the back, breast, thighs and forearms. The black color predomi

A Silver Petition.

London, June 23-The executive com . mittee of the bimetallist league has ad- dressed memorial to Sir William Yer non Harcourt chancellor of the ex- chequer, seeking to refute the statements made by the gold defenders in their re- cent memorial to Sir William. The bi- metallists say that in the presence of evils which cannot be denied they hope that the government will not suffer hy- pothetical dangers to special interests to deter it from heary cooperation with the other powers in such measures as are desirable for securing a fixed power of exchange between gold and silver and a more stable standard of value than it possesses at present. The memorial is signed by sixty bankers, fifty-eght mer- chants and manufacturers, fifteen labor unions, forty-two land owners and sixty members of the house of commons Among the signers are the Duke of Fife, the Duke of Aberdeen, the Duke of Portland. the Duke of Sutherland, MT Midderdale, ex-governor of the Bank of England; Sir Albert Sassoun, the banker; Sir Thomas Sutherland, member of par lament and chairman of the Penin- sular and Oriental Steam Navigation company, and Sir Samuel Montague, member of parliament and head of the banking firm of Samuel Montague &

Artificial Cotton Yarn,

The production of artificial cotton yarn from wood pulp is declared by Rhode Is land cxperimenter to be practicable in dustry, the difference between the two ma terials being said to bo very slight as re- gards appearance softncss, strength, lus- ter and general condition. It appears that for this purpose the wood of the spruce or tho pine is used and is defibrated, after which it is disintegrated thoroughly and subjected to good bleaching, much de- pending upon tho latter process, an essen- tial point being that tho whiteness of the stock equals that of tho genuine cotton material. Thus far, it is stated, tho bleaching compounds have consisted of hot solutions of bisulphate of soda and chlo- ride of limc After bleaching the subducd pulp the cellulose is treated with com pound of chloride of zinc, castor oil and gelatin, resulting in the formation of paste which is reduced to strands and rub bed into threads.
 Under the naked eye the pulp thread is said to differ very littlein appearance from the real cotton, possesses practically all the features of pure cotton thread and Is white and soft, but whcR@compared be- meath q strong microscope difference is noticed, tho fine, fuzzy and loose flbers so prominent in cotton threads being miss ing in the pulp sort, though not to the dis advantage of the latter. The peculiar twist character of cotton thread is also ab sent in the pulp strand, while tho latter seems harder and smoother under the glass New York Sun.

Confession Awaited.

Lexington, Ky, June 23.-When his cousin arrives tomorrow Bad Tom smith, who is to be hanged at Jackson Friday, is expected to make a confession. Smith almost broke down when he was told that Friday was the day on which he was to pay the death penalty for the murder of Dr. Rader at the home of his mistress, Catherine McQuinn, last win ter, but today said he would not tell the story of the killing until the arrival of his cousin, who is preacher and a good man. Sufficient evidence was got from Smith to warrant the statement that when the confession is made it will create a sensation, inasmuch as it will involve men here not mentioned heretofore. Smith, it seems, was simply fulfilling a contract, for which he got pay in money.

EAaLY PERFUMES.

The Crusaders Brought Them to Western
 Europe From the Holy Land.
 During tho dark ages and in carly me- dieval times perfumes, with the exception of incense for ecclesiastical use, were al- most unknown, and the rude Saxon thames and Norman barons and their spouses wero quite content with the smell of wood fires and huge masses of roast or scethed meat and were rot at all solicitous to enjoy tho pleasure of sweet odors. 1t seems to hayo been the crusaders who brought from the Holy Land into western Europe the per fumes for which the east has from time immcmorial been renowned.
