MlNOT HAS A WILD MAN.
Like All wild Men He Has More whiskers
Than Clothes.

AIinot. July 2o-Minot people are
stirred up over "wild man" who has
popped out of the dark woods and has
as promptly popped back again.
Half dozen people have seen the man
at close. range and III broad daylight,
and there is no doubt whatser about this
being bona fida case Of either o wild or
crazy man IN the woods.
The strange man was seen by one per-
son on Friday and again on Saturday by
four or five parsons, and the descriptions
are alike in all instances He is de-
scribed as being old with long hair and
beard, and devoid of any wearing apparel
whatever. Sunday body OF one hundred
men searched the woods of Minot and
Poland, but without single trace of the
man. The only man missing from this
section of Maine is Alfred Walker of
South Auburn, a milkman OF wide
acquaintance in these parts. Alfred
Walker took the train ostensibly for
Brunswick He bought ticket for
Portlan d, however, not going to Brun-
swick. That was last fall. He was
traced to Portland, where he was seen by
IN old acquaintance walking along Com
meroial street. That was the last ever
seen of him. The search was kept up for
several weeks, son Of Mr.. Walker, who
is police officer IN Massachusetts,
putting great amount of time into it.
sir. Walker was not insane and he had
10 reason for leaving home
His family have given him up for dead
but his estate has not been administered
upon. Naturally the question arises
whether this man in the Minot woods
hrilay and Saturday is the missing AL
f.od Walker. The description of the wild
man answers to that Of MIR. Walker. Mr..
Walker was over seventy years of age,
till aad straight and large of build. He
u5cd 80 wear full beard and his hair
long.

London. July 20.-The trial of Or.
Lion S. Jameson and his fellow officers
in the Transvaal raid, who were indicted
by the grand jury began this morning.
When the case was opened it was under
stood that the taking of testimony would
be preceded by a long series of legal
arguments. Sir Edward Clarke, senior
counsel for the defence, began by moving
ground that the casesdid not come under
the operation of the foreign enlistment
act under which the defendants were
charged.

piled on behalf of tho prosecution to Sir

HOUSES IN TREE TOPS.
The Indians of Guiana Build Beyond the
Reach of Floods

The Indians of Guiana Build Beyond the
Reach of Floods.
Interest in the Guiana country naturally
centers about the most fertile region, that
which commands the mouth of its great
waterway. AS you approach the Orinoco
from the gulf of Paria you still see that
picturesque sight to which Humboldt re-
fers in his travels, sinnumerable fires in
the tall palm trees, the dwelling places
of the peaceful Guaraunos.
The legend that this strange tribe of In
dams, once the masters of the Orinoco,
live in trees the entire year results from
the great annual rise of the Orinoco. At
Ciudad Bolivar 800 miles up, this amounts
sometimes in contracted place to 80 feet.
On the broader delta it is always sufficient
to cover islands and low ground. There
fore the inhabitants very wisely build their
houses well above the ground. For this
purpose four tall palm trees are selected,
and the crosspieces which form the foun-
dation for the houses are dashed to the
main support by pieces of q tough vine in
digenous to the delta. Upon these is laid
the flooring, and then the sides and roof
are matched with large palm leaves, to
which the Indians have given the poetic
name Of feather of the sun -
There are many advantages which this
particular palm leaf possesses over others
of the same family, the principal one be-
ing its similarity to asbestus in the quality
of resisting fire. In the location of his
house the Guararno takes another wise
precaution in building, and it is one that
carries with it a lesson for the government
under whose sovereignty he lives.-W

Spraying with Paris Groom.

There is disposition everywhere In

poison than is needed. If one-quarter
pound of paris green in 40 gallons is
enough, why use more? It is sometimes
claimed that these dilute mixtures are
not as effective as stronger ones. They
may not kill as quickly, but they are
less costly and are not hurtful to the
plants, besides being less likely to affect
