ANIMAL FRIENDSHIPS.
Lioness who Nurscd n Puppy Tho Cat
and Her Chickens

Animate form very strong and very
strange friendships, says the New York
Journal. Thus, for instance, lioness
from Somolitand has recently taken un-
der her most tender protection youth-
full bull-terrier, which she treats as well
as if he were her own son s-d heir. Curl
ously enough, she will have nothing
whatever to do with her young friends
affectionate brothers and sisters, and
der her protecting paw, she has nothing
but very suggestive snarl for all the
rest.
Again, there is young Maltese cat,
which, on finding out in some mysteri.
ous manner that nestful of tiny chick
eps were left motherless, took the or
phaned family at once in hand, Cor,
rather, paw and the fluffy party made
themselves Immediately at home in the
warm fur coat of the strange foster
mother. If, we are told, one of the bae
bies ever happens to stray too far afeld,
the furry foster-mother recalls it at
once with plaintiff new.
An equally curious case is told by
M. Belief of terrier and cat, both
Of whom were the mothers of happy
families in the same stables, exchang-
ing their progeny and nursing and
tending their adopted children with the
utmost care. At the Jardin des Plantes,
in Paris, lioness and hound live in
the same cage in perfect peace and
friendship, and in a corner in north
Germany gamekceper has recently
reared mixed litter of pups and fox
cubs.

Ten Innings.

The afternoon game was witnessed
by 1900 people, the largest crowd of the
season, and was fast, hard ball playing
from the start. 1t took ten innings to
decide it and the tenth was slaughter
for Bellaire. In the ninth the score
stood to in favor of Bellaire, with
two men out and two strikes on Brown,
who was at the bat. The big center
fielder got the ball he was looking for,
however, and brought two runs home
with beautiful wo-bagger that tied
the score and set the rooters crazy. In
the tenth Bellaire failed to score, but
Marietta got onto the Capitol pitcher,
and with six hits brought in seven
runs, four of them earned.
The game vas exciting throughout
and taken with the one in the morn
ing, demonstrated beyond doubt that
the Marietta management has at last
got good team together. The play
ing of Dick McCammon was simply
marvellous. In six times at bat he
pounded out six clean hits. two of
them being two-baggers. Added to
that is his record of seven stolen
bases and two fly catches that caused
him to jump from the edge of the bank
of the run to get them.

DISHONESTY NEVER PAYS.
Free Coinage Would Hurt Debtors az

Free Coinage Would Hurt Debtors az
Well as Creditors.
"He needs long spoon who would
sup with the devil'' is good old Span
lish prpverb. 1t is one which should be
remembered by all the voters who have
been deluded into favoring the free sill
lver plan for robbing creditors by cut
ting the value of the dollar in two.
1t is unfortunately true that the
clearest proof of the dishonesty Of q
schene which would enable men whS
have borrowed 1OO-cent dollars to pay
back the loan in 5o-cent dollars does
not causs the hien who favor it to
abandon their agitation. There was n
time when the people had only TO be
p, shown that certain policy was dis
honest and immoral to Secure its
prompt condemnation. But through a
short-sighted and foolish selfishness,
which seems to have blighted their
moral sense, a large number of persons
now openly declare their willingness
to repudiate debts. Free silver will
cheat creditors?" they say. "Then all
the more reason why we should have
it,"
:, Such men can only be reached in one
way. This is by showing them that
stealing from creditors is exactly like
stealing from any other property own
er, and that if this country once in
'augurates policy of confscating one
half of the property of some men, it
Will not be long before all property
rights will be assailed. How will this
;suit the great majority Of the Amer
lean people, who all have some prop
lerty and are trying to get more2 Are
they ready to start in robbing on a
wholesale scale by debasing the cur
rency?
Even if one-half of the debts in this
country were wiped out it by no means
follows that debtors would be bene-
fted. The paralysis of industry which
would follow the withdrawal of capital
would cause such suffering and loss TO
all classes that debtors as we'll as cred
itors would be involved in the common
ruin. When the men who paid their
debts in cheap silver went to borrow
more money, they would find that no
one would lend, unless at very high in
terest rates, sufficient to cover the
risk of another reputation scheme.
Thus in the end the men who had
hoped to profit by dishonesty would
find themselves still poorer than they
are now. The attempt to cheat the
devil by robbing people of their prop
erty with a sixteen to one law, instead
of stealing it openly, is a miserable
trick: His satanic majesty cannot be
fooled in that way. >ss.-.--

A COLD CLIMATE.
A Candle Finds It Hard Work to Keep
Warm in the Arctfcs.


Warm in the Arctfcs.
Cold is merely a relative term. The
resident of the semi-tropical countries
shivers when the thermometer falls ta
so degrees, while the Laplander and
Eskimo think it is comfortable at zero.
For real cold, and plenty of it, one
must go to the polar regions. Think
of living where the mercury goes down
to 36 degrees below zero in the house,
in spite of the stove. Of course, in such
case, fur garments are piled on until
man looks like a great bundle of skins.
DR.. Moss, of the polar expedition of
1876, among other things, tells OF
the effect of cold on awax candle which
he burned there. The temperature was
So degrees below zero, and the doctor
must have been considerably discuur.
aged when, looking at his candle, be
discovered that the flame had all 1t
could do to keep warm.
1t was so cold that the flame could
not melt all the wax of the candle, but
was forced to cut its way down, leav-
ing a sort of skeleton Of the candle
standing.
There was heat enough, however, to
melt oddly-shaped holes in the thin
walls of wax, and the resultwas beau
tiful lace-like cylinder of white, with a
tongue of yellow flame burning inside
OF it and sending out into the darkness
many streaks of light. ,sra

A BIG BEAVER.
Discovery of the Si-ull Of a Monster o
the Ouarternary Age.
gig

Discovery of the SKULL of Monster of
the Qusrternary Age.
One of the rarest of fossil remains has
been unearthed in Michigan, near the
Indiana state line, and is now in the
possession of George A. Baker, of South
Bend, Ind, says the Cincinnati Com
mercialGaZette. 1t is the skull of a
mammoth beaver, a monster of the
quaternary age, existing contempora-
1feously with the mastodon and mega
therium. In only five other instances
in the United States, and in this coun-
try alone, have any portion of the re-
mains of a mammoth beaver been
found, and these were always of the
teeth or skull, but generally of only the
teeth. The first discovery was at Nash
port, Licking county, o., by Prof. Fos-
ter, whose find, u skull, is described in
American Roenti by Prof. Allen, and a
cast of which was taken by Prof. Agas-
siz, and the cast alone remains.
The skull possessed by Mr.. Baker is
12hinches long, is about 8 inches wide,
and stands about inches high. 1t
has the teeth and also the great
incisors used in tree-cutting; the incis-
ors are about inches long and ~
inches in diameter. 1t was found In a
bog, and from comparisons with other
specimens it is the largest and finest
specimen now known to exist. The
live animal could not have weighed less
than 400 pounds.

Two Games from seliaire.

A good sized crowd of spectators
was in attendance at the Athletic Park
Saturday morning to witness the first
game of the home team against Bell
aire. The game was a shut-out for
Bellaire and well played on the part of
Marietta, but disappointing to many
on account of the ease with which it
was won. 1t was evident that the
Capitol boys were not up to their
usual standard, their errors being
frequent and costly
Jack Taylor and Sam Taylor, broth
ers, the new battery acquisition
from Nelsonville, filed the pitchers
and catcher's position for Marietta and
put up stiff game, Bellaire getting
but three hits in the nine innings.

MEMS HANDS.
,Ehey Are Awkward Appendsges In So
ciety-tbe Bon Bon box.

Citty-tnc AtOh-oOn Afoxs
1t is soms times interesting to observe
the awkward use men make of their
hands at4formal indoor assemblages OF
the two sexes, says she New York Sun.
To the larger number these members
are n positive incumbrance, and every
device is resorted to to find employment
for them. Even in the older social CEN
ters of Europe graceful and easy dis
posal of the hands, by men, is recog-
nized as exceptional. During the reign
of Louis XIV, XIV. and XVI, when the
elegancies of high life were studied in
the minutest detail, the superiuity OF
the hands was q matter of grave con-
cern. Relief was found, however, in
the pomnrel of the sword, the bonbon
or the snuff box. These proved havens
of refuge, and manual awkwardness
( was saved from shipwreck. The snuff
box endured until the early years Of the
present century; but since it has passed
away the society man is left to such de-
vices for the use of his hands as inge-
nuity can suggest. The beacon of sal
vation is at last in sight through the
vogue, now in progress of growth in
Paris, for the use of bonbon boxes by
men. These receptaeles are coming
into common use, and many are of great
cost and beauty of workmanship. They
are made in chased gold and silver, or
enameled, and set with precious stones.
Not only do they contribute a decofa.
tive note to social functions, but they
offer grateful relief to those men whose
hands are apparently super1uous on
such occasions. Without doubt this
new fashion will find favor with us, and
within brief period thousands of these
bonbon boxes will be made in Newark
and exhibited in Chicago society as an
cestral heirlooms of the time of Louis
XIV.
