Tiny Birds as Passengers.

Numerous incidents have been re-
cited showing how the larger and
stronger animals have assisted and
protected smaller and weaker ones.
Among the BIRDS, however, there is
a practice which is just as interesting
as any of the acts of consideration
performed by animals. A striking in
stance of that is shown on the conti-
nent of Europe.
For small birds to attempt to fly
across the broad Mediterranean
would, bee, use of the inadaptability
of their wings AMI powers Of endur-
ance, be impossible. To reach a warm
er climate through Asia Minor, Syria
and Palestine would be quite as GER
tain to result in their death.
Through the kindliness of the crane,
however, the small birds are enabled
to reach the warmer climate with lit
tie effort. =,
When the crane is about to migrate
it flies in wide circles close to tie
ground, uttering a loud and peculiar
cry, as an alarm, that a be heard at
a great distance. The small birds rec
ognize it as a call for them and they
Immediately fly to the crane and take
up a position on the cranes back.
When he has oil the passengers he can
carry comfortably, the crane starts on
his long journey. Arrived in the warm
south lands, the small birds fly from
the back of their friend, and are safe
for the winter. New York World.

Bad Lot Dying Out.

The career of "Cherokee Bill'
hanged at the age of 20, after a brief
and unprosperous career as an outlaw,
would be a good text for q sermon on
morality, but it would be useless to
preach it, because the class of degen-
crates to which Bill belonged~do es not
read sermons. He was a type of the
barbarism that.exists in all civilization,
and appears most conspicuous at it's
edges. Education and enlightenment
are the best remedies for it, and they
are at work slowly but effectively. The
''Cherokee Bill style of villain is dy-
ing out. It will soon cease to excite
the admiration of unframed boys and
the emulation Of villainous men,

The Yukon Miners

The United States does not recognize,
protect, or control these mining commu-
mites in any way. No geological ex-
plorations or surveys have been under
taken, and there are no official reports
upon the location, formation, develop
ment, or yield Of this rich placer region.
There are no military roads and not a
territorial or Federal officer in Yukon,
Alaska, save one customs officer and
postmaster. There is nc law, save as
the miners maintain their own unwrit-
ten code. Church missionary societies
have provided for the few peaceful In
dian tribes, but even spiritual comfort
is withheld from the miners. Heaven
Is high, and the Car is far off" de-
spairinG Russian cOlonists used to say
long ago. Since the military occupa-
ton of Alaska ceased in 1877, frequent
appeals have been made for the estab-
lishment of a garrison at Chilkat, and
the construction of a military road over
the pass %traversed by Yukon miners for
the last sixteen years. General Niles
nee considered the matter to the ex-
tent of detailing an officer to make q
reconnaissance.

LasSOOing Requires Skill.

81 lost that thumb by knowing too
much," said the old stockman, in
answer to a query. 81 was nothing
but q tenderfoot, but I thought be-
use I could rope a calf in a corral
that I could do anything anyone else
could.
"The first day that I went out with
my rawhide RATA on my saddle some
of the men commenced trying to tell
me how to rope a steer and how to
take q turn around the horn of the
saddle with the RATA when | wanted to
hold him, but | told them [ guessed l
knew how to do it, and I'm a thumb
shy in consequence.
81 chucked the rope on a steer MS
he was running and quickly wound
the RATA around the horn of the sad
die. There was a jerk, the steer went
down, and my thumb was crushed to
a pulp. [ had, in taking a turn with
the riata around the horn unwittlngly
got my thumb between the rope and
the pommel. When 1t frightened I
lost my thumb.
"When a cowboy holds a loop in
his right hand, ready to throw, his
thumb is pointed towards him. After
the throw it is natural for him to let
the RATA slide through his hand from
his little finger towards his thumb, but
if he attempts to wind it around the
saddle horn in that way it is 10 to l
that he will get his thumb tangled up
as I did. After the throw he has to
let go of the RATA entirely, seize it
again, and as he winds it around the
saddle horn let it slip through his hand
from his thumb toward his little finger.
Just recollect that and it may save you
IL thumb."-San Francisco Post

A Dog That Kills Crabs.

San Francisco boasts of dog-Sport
by name-that kills crabs. On almost
any day Sport can be seen on the
Powell street wharf watching the
crowds of fisherman. Some want
crabs, but most of them do not, and il
by chance they manage to hook one
it is thrown on the wharf. In an in
slant Sport is playing for an opening
in front of the enraged c%rustacean,
and for several minutes there is a
lively battle. Sport always makes an
attempt to get his teeth in between the
clays of the crab and drives his fangs
int5 it's brain. This, however is not
always easy for him to do, as the crab
will make a hard fight fof its life.
At times Sport will receive many
scratches before he succeeds in ending
the life of his antagonist. His jaws
are always cut, but never SO badly as
to render him unfit to fight.
Whenever there is a contest between
Sport and a crab the fishermen on the
wharf will allow their lines to take
care of themselves while they watch
the struggle. A circle will be formed
around the antagonists and the on
lockers seem to get as much pleasure
and excitement out Of it as they
would out of a cockfght. Many bets
would undoubtedly be made, except
for the fact that the death of the crab
is such q certainty.
Numerous attemps have been made
to get other dogs to attack the crabs,
but have always resulted in failure.
The ordinary dog concludes he has
had enough the moment he feels the
sharp claws in his jaws, and draws out
Of the contest, leaving the crab to be
finished by Sport.

Swallowed TWenty.four Eggs.

There is an old adage about the
folly of attempting to teach ones
grandmother to suck eggs but this is
not nearly SO foolish as betting with
q bootblack that he cannot swallow
two dozen raw eggs in twelve minutes
as q young MA found out recently,
who tried the experiment. He was
disguised when telling the story, and
called the bootblack names. He came
into town from his place in the sub
urbs recently, bringing four dozen Of
newly-lald eggs.
Two dozen of these were purchased
by a barber, and the shoeblack en-
ployed in the barber shop looked with
longing eyes OF the other two dozen
and said he would like to suck them.
When askedif he thought he could sue
cessfully getaway with them he said he
could and that i nshort order. The mar
who owned the eggs did not think SO,
and offered to bet the Italian 81 that
he could not swallow the eggs in
twelve minutes. The bet was prompt
ly taken, and the bootblack started in,
and in three minutes and o half the
last of the twenty-four eggs slid down
his throat like soapsuds down a sink.
He pocketed the stakes, and said he
wouldlike another dozen of eggs to fill
his stomach comfortably. One of the
men who heard the story said he saw
q man once undertake to swallow a
dozen and a half Of eggs, and he got
The Opelousas courier., 1896-07-18

along very we'll till fourteen were
swallowed, when he came across one
slightly overripe, which caused him to
get rid Of the whole in a hurry. An
other listener said he had once seen a
man drink a quart of West India mo-
lasses 'without taking the measure
FROM his mouth. He walked off all
right, but later it was learned that he
nearly died from the effects G.. the
deed. Just what will become of the
bootbiack remains to be seen, but if
his experience does not ''cure him of
sucking eggs" it will be queer.-Port'
land Oregonian.

Gludness Comes

With a better understanding of the
wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant Efforts
tightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on whichit acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur.
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists. Z
If in the enjoyment Of good health.
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Put ON THE DOCKET AGAIN.
Another Case of sunday Violation
Against Bandy and Denmark.

George ". Bandy and J. n. Denmark
were placed on the police docket again
yesterday by order OF Recorder Wilson on
the charge OF violating the city ordinances
by having their barrooms open on sun
day.
Il is only two weeks since Bandy and
Denmark were convicted in the police
court OF this offense. Bandy was sentenc-
ed TO thirty days I'm Jail, having previous
ly been convicted Of the same onense and
Denmark was fined 500 This case. like
the previous one, was the result of in
formation given in the police court by ne
gro witnesses arrested on other charges.
The cases two weeks ago, it will be re-
membered. were the cause Of a lively pass
age Of words between Recorder Wilson
and Chief McDermOtt because the chief
would not allow the detectives to inVcsti-
gate charges made by irresponsible negro
witnesses. as ne considered IT, There
was no chance for a tilt yesterday, how
ever. The Information came out TOO clear
~ to require investigation, and all the re-
coTder had TO do was TO instruct the clerk
to docket the eases.
Joe Arnold, Henry Blair and Susan Gra-
ham We're arrested in Yamacraw Monday
by Policeman Schroeder, charged with
stealing a Smith * WessOn pistol from
white man. The case was somewhat COM
plicated, and IL was "A question which one
Of the negroes stole the pistol. The case
was continued and came up again yester-
day morning. Several friends of the pris-
oners were Present to give evidence in their
behalf
The prisoners endeavored to establish
their innocence of the charge against them
by proving their whereabouts last Sunday
when the theft occurred, and Il was in
this way that the evidence against the sa-
loon keepers came out. one negro stated
that he was i'm Bandy's saloon at the time
and corrOborated this evidence with the
assertion that he purchased half pint
there at the time. Another declared that
he was in Denmarks place and called upon
one Of the witnesses to prove that he had
carried him home drunk from that
saloon. Further information on the
same line was given. There was
ample evidence, the recorder thought,
that both places were in full blast last
Sunday. The cases will come up in police
court next Tuesday.
II is likely that the matter will go hard
with Bandy and Denmark. Bandy now has
a sentence Of thirty days in jail standing
against him, having given bond and APP
pealed to the superior court. Denmark
paid ~ 800 fine last week, and accord
ing TO the rule established by the recorder
Is now liable for a sentence of thirty days.
The recorder may so further and deprive
them Of their licenses.
