A monkey is as pitiable an object when
seasick as any other beast so stricken,
and its forlorn facial expression is so
humanlike, and the way it clasps it's
hands across its stomach is so natural
that a man who is not seasick necessarily

a dangerous requirement of pet blue
jay is told about in the American Natu
ralist by James Newton Basket, of Mexico,
Mo. The blue jay referred to somehow
learned that parlor or popping matches
would make a delightful sputter and
flame if properly manipulated.
The bird was in the habit of beating
much of its food against some hard sub
stance, perhaps for the purpose of break

ably treated one of the parlor matches in
this way one day and so learned that they
made a noise. When Il match was given
it would hop on chair round and strike
the illuminate against the wood, end on
repeating it rapidly until the head was
ignited then it would throw it away and
watch the flame.
HABITS OF FISH IN FEEDING.
1t is a common thing for fish 10 shake
its live prey or other food as "A dog might
do, perhaps to kill it or to tear it into
fragments for eating. y dog can help
itself by placing its feet upon the food.
OF course, IA fish can't do this, but it can
shake it very vigorously. In feeding the
fishes in aquariums the food-eXcepting
of course live foods cut up into pieces
of suitable sizes. Fragments of food
thus prepared may hang together by n
shred, or little fish may seize a piece as
big as itself, but whether the fish is big
or little, if it gets n piece bigger than it
can swallow it is very likely to shake it,
and shake it powerfully, tearing off what
it wants, or such parts as may be detach-
ed by the shaking and swallowing that

with their claws, as man carries food to
his mouth with his hands.
DUPLICATE NESTS.
The London "Field' tells of many
cases where wrens have built several
nests, only one of which has been occu-
pied, and casts about for an explanation.
| 1t appears from what T. NJ Ward, of
| Sibton Yoxford, Suffolk, says that it is
| the male bird that builds these unused
nests. He also observed that the builder

| after each bit of nest material was put in
| place to sing in loud voice The odd
nests are completely finished to all out

Harry c. Silverman has grievance

known as the National Vinegar works.

was expressly stipulated that the con-
tract was to continue in operation until
October /, 1896. The written document
is in the hands of the firm, and they re-
fuse to let Silverman see or handle it.
The defendants, however, as he says,
desiring to beat and cheat him, dis
charged him from their employ on June
1st. by which action he suffered $500
damages.
For separate cause of action Silver
man alleges that on July 1st, after he
had left their employ. the defendant
firm falsely pretended that he owed
them various sums of money and de-
manded from him $141.25, at peril of
having his effects attached and prose-

On Thursday rather good-looking

AS an aftermath to that incident story

1t transpires that Ruiz has been liv-

Orsco paid great attention to the girl
Bernardina and she appeared to be in
fatuated with him to such an extent as
to attract the attention of her mother.
Despite admonitions. however, the girl
continued to meet her lover, only in, a
clandestine manner. The mother after
some time found this out and warned
Orosco to discontinue paying attention
to her daughter, declaring that If he did
not cease she would have him arrested,
Matters had reached crucial point,
and so Orosco and the girl went, as
stated, to the court house, and by means

that the unfair Alice had we'll developed

One incident alone will indicate what
kind of a feminine cyclone Mr.. Hammar

undersized man and one day after she

came out and was about to take the We

told him to take them off before med

Olive H. Burkett made an attempt to
get initiated into the cattle business and
under the tutelage of c. Jantzen and d.
]. Branner not altogether without sue
cess. In the first instance she had con-
siderable money, and her tutors had
wide experience. She has now the ex-
perience and they have the money, and
for the purpose of restoring the statu
quo ante she has begun suit.
In July of last year she entered into q
contract by the terms of which she was
to convey to Brannen certain property
here of which she Is the owner, although
the title is in the name of another party
holding 1t in trust for her. In'considera-
tion Of this the defendants agreed to sell
and deliver to her on the range in Coco
nino county, Arizona. 800 head Of cattle,
and all the calves, three saddle ponies
and 125 head Of cattle of another brand,
and also to quit claim to her 1850 acres

was a mortgage on the ranch and the
plaintiff agreed to pay $3.50 of the amount

ance. 1896. In order to secure payment
by the plaintiff she gave a mortgage
upon both brands of cattle.
The transaction was completed and
plaintiff sent an agent to take possession
of the ranch and round UP the cattle.
But the horned brutes were not there and
only after great diligence did the agent
discover a measly twenty head of as
sorted brands that had belonged to the
defendants.
OF course plaintiff refused to pay her
share of the mortgage and she claims
that she was inveigled into the trade by
fraudulent representations on the part
of the defendants that there were over
800 head Of cattle on the range, exclu-
sive of calves.
After conveying land worth $500 for
cattle ostensibly worth $4,000 and then to

One Who Arrogated to Himself Undue Power
to Transfer
Big Rock Creek Irrigation district is
not, apparently, out of the woods yet.
A new bone of contention is to be fought
over in the shape of suit begun yes
terday against E. c. Hodgman, county
recorder; G. Lyle, w. A. Bingham, E. +.
Carter and l.. B. Doan.
1t Is claimed that the defendant trans
ferred lands within the district when he
was not authorized to do so, and was not
clothed himself with any power to do so.
On May IL, 1896, Doan executed and
decided to the defendant Carter certain
lands; on the same day a similar deed
was made to Lyle, and yet another to
Bingham. All these deeds were deliv-
cred by Doan while pretending to be the
collector of the Big Rock Creek district,
but it is claimed that he was not, and ut
the time without any authority of law.
The court is asked to issue a decree
ordering the deeds Cancelled on the
records, and for costs of suit.
