The instant he caught sight of them he

him and made dash for him while

Shelin tore down the declivity at full

Shelin began to gaIlop Scross the
plain trusting to escape to tie guard in

was good, but theirs were better, and

But we have another law that tons

iating to the duties of railroads. and
which was passed by democratic Senate

a cause which allows a man to be sent to

section which provides for the duties Of
railroad engineers at crossings the kind
Oh crossings which must be- maintained by
the railroad companies is set forth, and
then appears this sentence: And if any
person shall be killed or injured by reason
or such crossing, he shall be imprisoned
in the states prison not more than four

Now, that is law. What do you think
of 1t? And here 1T is again. The law re-
lating to the adulteration of butter says
that all oleomargarine shall be manufac-
tured and sold in the state under certain
restrictions, and says that each package
OF the bogus butter shall be branded in
plain view eomargerine, - which is
mis-spelling of the word, but the manu-
facturer must brand the packages in this
way or he is violating the law and is la

matter of time before the seams will part,
and the leaks begin, and death come to the
crew.
Another class of vessels that the average
tar avoids is the 'unlucky" ones. The SUI
perstitious nature of the sailors is shown
no more conspicuously than in their selec-
ton of craft to sail with. What is her
past record? Has she been uniformly
lucky or unlucky in her past ventures?
These questions concern the sailors more
often than the temper or habits of the
captain. The skipper of an unfortu-
nate craft finds 1t difficult work to ship
good crew of experienced sailors, and he
is apt to have more assertions than
better vessel where the captain is uniform
ly brutal and cruel.

TrteII,uence of the sun Fish.

An example of the intelligence mot in
stincD of a class of fish which has come
under my observations during my ex-
cursions into the Adirondack region of
New York state may possibly be of in
terest to your readers, says a writer to
the New York Sun, especially as 1 know
of no one, save myself, who has noticed
it, or at least, has given 1t publicity. The
female sunfsh makes a hatchery for
her eggs in this wise: Selecting a spot
near the shores of the numerous lakes in
which this region abounds, and where the
water is about four inches deep and still,
she builds with her tail and snout a cir
cular embankment of sand three inches
in hight and two thick. The circle, which
is as perfect a one as could be formed with
mathematical instruments, is usually a
foot and a half in diameter, and at one
side of this circular wall an opening is
left by the fish of just sufficient width to
admit her body.
The mother fish having now built or
provided her hatchery" deposits her
spawn within the circular enclosure and
mounts guard at the entrance until the
fry are Matched out and are sufficiently
large to take charge of themselves; this
being necessary to defend the spawn from
other fish using it as an article of diet.
as the circular embankment, moreover, is
built up to the surface of the water no
enemy can very easily obtain an entrance
within the enclosure from the top; while.
there being only one entrance, the mother
fish is able with comparative ease to keep
out all intruders. l have. as l say. noticed
the exquisite intelligence of the sunfish
for the perpetuity of her species more par
ticularly among the lakes of the Adj
rondack region, but doubtless the same
habit is common to these fish in other wa
tiers,

SOME HoOsIER LAWS.
Imprisonment for Being Killed and
a Fine for Spelling Word Corr

rectly.
From the Indianapolis Sentinel.
"Talk about the peculiar laws passed
by the last session of the legislature"
said an ex-judge of the supreme court,
"they don't compare with some Of the
laws which are already on the statute
books of this state. What do you think
of fining a man for making such a consul
mate fool of himself as to try to catch a
quail or pheasant in the woods without
a gun or any Weapon of any kind? What
do you think of a law which says that a
man who is run over and killed by an
engine may be sent to the penitentiary
for fourteen years? What do you think
of a law which compels the people of In
diana to spell word differently from the
spelling given in the dictionary?
"And yet there are laws in Indiana
which perpetrate these glazing inconsis-
tencies Do you doubt 1t? Then 1 will
read you the law"
The judge reached for his copy of the
code, and turning to the subject men
toned, showed that the law said exact
ly what he had asserted.
Now, Wen take the game law of this
state" continued the judge, with a quiet
smile, as he lighted a fresh cigar. Be
tween certain periods of the year. or rath-
er during certain months, it is forbidden
to kill certain game birds or animals or
to cath certain fish. This is done to pre-
vent their slaughter at the time they are
caring for their young or are breeding
as this would soon result in their EXTERN
ination. The game laws are, of course,
good ones-when well worded. But the
law of Indiana says specifically that dur
ing these forbidden months any person
who shall kill or pursue any quail or
pheasant shall be fined 81 for every quail
killed and 81 for every quail pursued.
Now, according to this law, if a man
goes out into the woods runs across a
flock of quails containing fifteen birds and
they start up with a whir-r-r-r and shoot
over the top of the hill, and that man
starts on a run after them, holding his
hat in his hand so that he can throw 1t
over one of them when Se comes up to it,
and is caught doing this, the law of this
state says he shall be fined SIS He was
pursuing fifteen quails at a dollar per
quail.
"Of course, the ahsurdity of this law is
plain, and it has caused considerable
amusement among the members of the
profession but it has never been changed
and is the law of this state to-day I'm
agine a man trying to catch a quail by
running it down and putting salt on its
tail, or covering il with his hat" And
the old judge laughed heartily at the idea
yes" he continued, IT can see the dig
nifty with which some country justice ad-
justs his spectacles and after carefully
reading the law, would gravely fine the
victim, who, by chance, had scared I'D a
flock of quails, and had then run to the

Polls Wonderland Thaater.

Lew Dockstader is proving a great drawing card at the Wonderland this week. At nearly every performance the house is crowded, and the large audi ences show the most vociferous appre- citation of his original humor. The local topics that he touches in his songs, and the jokes with local point that he tells, are so deftly construed and quaintly told that it would be very dull person who failed to find in them indictments to laughter. Certainly no funnier enter tainment has been given here this sea- son than that which Dockstader fur nishes, and no artist has been given a more cordial testimony of appreciation The vaudeville specialties furnished in addition are all exceptionally excellent, especially the ones presented by Has, tings and Marion, the Misses O'Neill and Sutherland, Jules and Ella Garri- son, and Morton and Eckhoff.

 The latest work of that well known playwright, Charles IT. Hoyt, "A Milk White Flag" was given its first produc- tion in this city last evening to one of the largest audiences of the season, who were enthusiastic in their praise of the performance.
 The new work of MT. Hoyt differs from the general style of his previous come dies in the introduction of a spectacular effect and the use of a ballet, The gor- geous uniforms of the guards" and the girls who are vivandieres and drum mers keep the stage in a constant gilt ter. Songs are numerous. They are sung on the slightest provocatton, and well sung, too, for the company is mu- sically quite capable of rendering com- ic opera. Most of the music was com posed by MT. Percy Gaunt,
 The performance last night was one of the best that has been seen in this city The entire company Is one of ex- ceptional merit. Miss Isabelle Coe in the leading female role has an unusual mellow end deep contralto voice. Chas. Stanley made an excellent burlesque of Napoleon. Frank Lawton, who has been seen here many times in other of MT. Hoyt's plays, rendered several spe- cialties, including his own whistling so- To. which was received with a storm of applause. Miss Rose Sutherland gave some of the most graceful dancing seen here this season. Miss Blanch Hayden, who will be remembered here for her excellent work in Tuxedo" fully sus- tained her former success. The old fa- vorite, George A. Beane, was also well received. Others deserving special men, ton were Frank Baldwin in an excel lent makeup of Sousa, John s. Marble. Lloyd Wilson, F. s. Wentworth, Ed. GarYie.
 The piece will be repeated this even ing and judging by the large sale of seats, there will be a crowded house.
 An attraction of stupendous propor- tion will appear next Wednesday, May 15, when the great Sandow, at the head of the Sandow Trocadero Vaudevilles, will make fis first appearance in this city. There is no attraction in the world to-day which has ex- cited such widespread comment and such extended newspaper notice as San-' dow's marvellous feats of strength and his magnificent exhibition of the perfec- tion to which the development of the human muscles can be brought.
