The Squirrel and His Prison.

A restaurant keeper at the foot of
the Waldeck had a squirrel in q cage
on the front of his house. An Amer
lean passed one morning, and, see-
ing the squirrel whirling his cage
round, asked the man what he would
take for the whole concern. The
man said 20 francs, which the Amer
lean paid. He then said he did not
want the cage, but ordered the cage
to be opened, and out bounced the
squirrel into the pine woods above
as if overjoyed at his liberty. Where
upon the purchaser discoursed the
late owner considerably on his cruel
ty to q little creature like that and
hoped it would be a lesson and a
warning to him as long as he lived.
Early next morning what was the
surprise of the restaurant keeper to
hear the cage whirling round at O
tremendous rate. The squirrel had
voluntarily returned to his labors
and appeared as if anxious to make
up for lost time. AS his freedom
had been purchased his door was al
ways left open and supply of food
kept, so that his little lordship could
enjoy his run in the forest when lie
wished, but he invariably returned
to his work.-London Spectator.

The moon plays highly impor-

Not one burglar in so will venture
out on HOUSEKEEPING expedition
on the night of new moon. Some
burglars have lively horrors of GER

ominous numbers are generally

Neither will burglar enter house

High Ceilings No Longer.

1t is no longer common to build
houses with such high ceilings as
were in favor Is or 20 years ago.
Every foot of height in the ceiling
requires moro than foot of length
in the stairway, and every stair
must be trodden over many times a
day by every member of the family.
Where in such houses ceilings Is
or even Is feet were sometimes
used by the builders of a former
day, 13, II or even II are now more
usual heights. In country house
of moderate size I should favor a
ceiling on the first floor as low as 10
feet 6, or even 9 feet 6, and on the
second floor s feet or 9 feet.
When the height of a room is lessen
ed, its extent seems greater, and
decorative effects of a cozy sort are
more easily produced than in higher
rooms.-Philadelphia Times.

Killed by Care.

A we'll known Washington woman
who is childless and for some years
has been expanding her maternal
tenderness on little Skye terrier
has just seen the object of her affec-
tions go the way of all flesh in a
manner rather unusual to CANNES.
She noticed some time ago that the
little animal was suffering from a
swelled gum, and desiring that he
should have every advantage that it
was in her power to give him she
took him to her own dentist, who
discovered that the trouble was
caused by a decayed tooth. The la
dy, upon learning this, insisted that
it should DO treated in the usual
way and filled with gold. After con-
siderable of struggle the dentist
succeeded in getting a gag adjusted
in the dogs mouth and started to
do his work. The little creature
writhed and squirmed under the
touch of the instruments, and his
we'll meaning torturer, thinking to
hasten the completion of the opera
ton, undertook to drill the necessa-
ry cavity with the we'll known ma
chine which is worked by the foot.
This was too much for the poor lit
tie beast, who promptly went off
into a CONFUSION and died in the
dentists chair. New York journal.

ORANG LAUTS.
A Most Peculiar Set of People Living on
Malay Island.

A Most Peculiar Set of People Living on q
| Malay Island.
There is a race of people living on
one of the northern islands of the
Malay archipelago known as the
Orang Lauts. They are probably
tho NEST remarkable specimens Of
humanity to be found anywhere.
They have no form of worship.
They know nothing of the Christian
religion, and even the barbarous
worship of wooden idol or a sacred
animal is closed book to them. OF
the parns, dewas. nambangs and
other phantom forms which, in the
vivid imagination of the other Ma
lay tribes, haunt each mountain,
rock and tree, they are in complete
ignorance. In form only are they
human beings, but in nearly every
other action of life they are not one
whit higher than the beast ct the
field. The Orang Lauts, or ''men of
the seas, as they are sometimes
termed, have neither fear of death
nor q dread of LIES ills. The howl
ing of the wind through the forests,
the bright flashes of lightning, the
loud report of thunder or any other of
the phenomena of nature do not seem
to impress them any more than the
ferocious wild beasts of the tropics.
There is little in life which leaves
any impression on this remarkable
set of people.
There is no joy at the birth of a
child, and the babes born to the
men of the sea" are not likely to
find anything bright or happy in
this world. Of all the marriage GUS
toms in existence theirs is the most
unique and simple. They have no
idea of courtship. A chew of tobac-
CO buys wife or husband, or per-
haps it may be more correct to state
that chew of tobacco goes with
every husband and wife. A Mr..
Orang Laut sees Mrs. Orang Laut
whom he desires to live in his hut.
Both are chewing cud of raw to-
bacco leaf. The man goes to the
woman and takes his chew out of his
mouth. She understands then and
does the came, and in less than a
minute the man is chewing her to-
bacco, and she has his in her mouth.
This exchange of mouthful of to-
bacco has made them man and wife
If neither should have any tobacco.
IN exchange of Q cheepah, a email
vessel containing about a gallon of
water, takes place, and this also per-
forms the ceremony. From this mo-
ment the woman becomes the man g
slave, nothing better than a beast of
burden.
There is no emotion felt by them
at death. The body of the deceased
is rudely thrown into hole, clothed
in the rags worn when alive. There
is not tear, not a sigh, nor the least
indication of sorrow. A parent bur-
les child and a husband his wife
with no more feeling than in bury
ing an animal.
The Orang Lauts are rather short
in stature and thickset. The wom-
en- are coarse, ungainly looking crea-
lures, with dark colored features.
They live mostly on rice, fruit and
fish. 1t is but seldom that they eat
meat. Their motto is, Sufficient
for the day is the evil thereof" Of
the morrow or yesterday they give
no thought. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Electric Power D1splacing Steam.

In all the rapid development of the
science of electricity in this city, moth
irg excites more daily comment than
the rapid substitution of electric for
steam and other power. The Sacra-
mento Electric Power and Light Com
pany are almost daily closing contracts
for the displacing of steam, gas or gas
oline engines with electric motors They
are now Offering for sale number OF
such engines and boilers at low prices
to the public outside of this city, thus
presenting an opportunity seldom
equaled to obtain such machinery at
very low prices for cash. Anyone de-
sirous of obtaining a boiler or engine
for mining or other purposes should not
fail to consult this company at once,
where the machinery will be shown and
prices given.
The manufacturers of this city are
just beginning TO appreciate the great
advantages within their reach by the
use of electric power. 1t has always
been considered the most desirable To-
cation for a city by the side of some
available water power; likewise has it
been considered the most desirable spot
on the banks of a navigable stream.
BY the wonderful development of cleo
tricity Sacramento steps forth with
both these advantages to offer the
prospective manufacturer Although
twenty-five miles away the water
sweeps through the gates and over the
wheels, its impulse is as visibly felt
and as effectively delivered as though
rushing by on Front street Why shall
not Sacramento grow and develop her
manufactures by the hundred? Min
neapolis, with her nearly a thousand
different individual industries. has no
more available water power than has
Sacramento. Twenty years ago she
was no larger than Sacramento and
surrounded by no greater population
She is locked with snow and ice six
months in the year, and yet in twenty
years behold her 100000 population.
The efforts of the Sacramento Electric
Power and Light Company are slowly
but surely taking hold of our indus
tries, and while the near future will see
every steam plant in the city sup
planted, we believe that in a few wears
many new industries will be added TO
the list now in operation. How other
wise can so valuable adjuncts be added
to our city's growth and prosperity?
With every added industry come added
wealth, consumption of our farm prod
ucts by increased population, as well as
customers for our merchants. occupants
for new homes and schools, and pros
per1ty advanced on every side Are
these not sufficient inducements for our
ca DitaliStS and business 0en9 r of oil

new power and avail ourselves of the
golden opportunity
