Necessity the Mother of Invention,

"If a man keeps his eyes open, he
sees many funny thing while riding
on street cars, said regular patron of
the Peters avenue line. IF you will
take q ride ON this line some dark
night, frequently ahead of the car
you'll see a light waved across the track,
and If sson watch closely yon will see
the znotorman .begin applying the brakes,
and thetcar will stop, and a smiling col
ored gentleman will board the car and
1aughingly say thaS he got this car to
stop for him. found, upon asking a
conductor one day, that the negroes in
this part of the town have caught on to
the fact that as that part Of the city is
black at night the motormen of the
swift moving cars cannot detect their
presence OH the track in sufficient time
to stop their cars for them, SO they, fig
uratixely, hang out a light for the Car
to STOP and it seems to work both to
the satisfaction of thecolored population
and the motormen on the cars. " Neces-
sity is the mother of invention, and it
seems our colonel brother has hit upon
a scheme ito offset the lack of lights on
those streets back of town traversed by
electric cars. -New Orleans Picayune

Faithful to His CAPTAIN.

That was loyal if not very gentle
answer once made by private soldier
to Frederick the Great of Prussia, as
the story is told in Harper's Round Ia
BILE:
During a campaign in Silesia the
king made it his habit to stroll through
his camp in disguise at night, to come
into closer relations with his soldiers.
One night he was stopped by sentry,
but, giving the proper password, was
permitted to proceed. Instead of doing
&c. however, he endeavored to tempt
the sentry into accepting cigar, say
ing that smoke would solace his long
watch.
lit is against the rules said the
soldier.
''But you have my permission, said
Frederick.
"Your permission!" cried the soldier.
"And who are your"
II am tue king -

corruptible sentry: ''What would my
captain say?'' 49,.

RObber Gu1ls of the Pacific.

''Out on the Pacific coast a great deal
Of amusement is furnished to people of
an observant disposition, said L. c.
Gardner Of Grays Harbor, Wash, "by
awalk along the seashore. For instance,
there is the robber gull, one of the most
graceful Of birds, which always follows
the pelican. The latter is an expert at
catching fish, which it sees from a
great height, diving with the swiftness
of bullet and seldom missing it's prey
But after getting the fish in its huge
beak with the pendent sa'k ut is unable
to handle it readily and always throws
it in the air, catching it in its pouch
which answers the same purpose as a
soldiers haversack. That is the gull s
opportunity. The instant the fish leaves
the beak of the big bird the robber
swoops down with the swiftness Of the
wind, and before the fish reaches the
distended jaws of the pelican it is snap
ped up, and the pelican is left far behind,
looking foolish. Pursuit is useless, for
the pelican is a heavy flier, while the
gull is one Of the swiftest Of the feath-
cred race. Denver Republican

Puppy Dog Dinners.

Chow dog, in the way of Chinese
diet, is so great delicacy that to leave
it out of an official dinner in China
would be as great crime as leaving
out whitehall or asparagus in May Oh
similar occasions in this country. At
Canton rows Of dogs, skinned, dressed
and ready for cooking, are hung up in
lines on the stalls in the market place.
The poor chow, when thus he contributes
to the delicacies of the heather Chinee's
table, must not have outgrown the ten
der stage Of puppydom. When he is 2
months old and his little carcass weighs
two pounds, he is at his best, and once
he has managed to escape his doom till
he is months old he has chance Of
living to a patriarchal age, for after
that time his ''favor' is not, from the
epicurean point Of view, what it ought
to be.
From the non-Celestial point of view
the chow pup is far too amusing and
handsome little customer to be sacri-
feed on the same altar on which are
laid shark fins, duck tongues and swal-
low nests. The baby chow in appearance
is like tiny bear cub. The lower 1O,-
600 Of China-or rather the lower 49,
600, O00-who cannot afford dinner of
chow, philosophically eat rats instead,
deeming them very passable and pal
atable substitute for the coveted puppy
dog.-San Francisco Call.

4 RAYS and Diamonds.

One excellent use to which the new K
rays can be put should interest women.
1t seems that by their aid one can read
lily determine whether diamonds are
real or false, for the rays pass quite
through real diamonds, leaving them
transparent, and not at all through false
ones. A real parure when photographed
would show only the mounting, but in
q false one all the stones would turn
out black. Strangely enough, the x rays
will not penetrate glass. Eyeglasses, if
photographed, come ont black. This
proved useful in the case of Vienna
glassworker who got a bit of glass into
his finger. By the aid of the rays it was
discovered, extracted and the workman
cured. st. James Gazette

THE INNUlT RACE.
"A Peculiar People Who Live on the Coast
Line of Alaska Territory.

"A Peculiar People Who Live on the Coast
Line of Alaska Territory.
The Innuit race of people, commonly
and also corruptly called Eskimos, occu-
py almost the entire coast line of Alaska,
with the numerous outlying islands
from the boundary line westward along
the arctic coast to Bering strait; thence
southwark to the Alaskan peninsula,
over the peninsula and the Aleutian is
lands, and eastward and southwark along
the coast to Mount St. Elias, with the
exception of comparatively small ter
ritory at Cooks inlet, and also at the
mouth of Copper river, at which points
the Tinneh> tribe of Indians from the
interior have forced their way to the
coast. Living constantly on or near the
sea, they from infancy have not the
slightest fear of the dangers of the deep,
and at an early age become bold navi-
gators and skilled fishermen and sea
hunters.
The word "innuit'' in their native
tongue signifies people, and as such is
used by them to designate those of their
own race as our people. Eskimo" is a
word Of reproach and has been given
them by their neighbors, the term mean
ing raw fish eaters.' The Innuits Of
Alaska are physically much superior to
those inhabiting the eastern side of the
continent, in Greenland and Labrador.
They are all Of the same race and speak
q common language through each local
ity, and often each village from the At
lantic to the Pacific will possess a dia-
lect distinctively its own. Those of our
territory are tall and muscular, not q
few Of them being 6 feet in height.
They have small, black eyes, high cheek
bones, large mouths, thick lips, coarse
brown hair and fresh, yellow complex
ions. In many instances men will be
seen with a full beard and mustache,
and in some particular families their
manly beauty is further enhanced by
wearing labret below each corner of
the mouth in a hole cut through the
lower lip for the purpose. They are a
good natured people, always smiling
when spoken to, and are fond of dane
ing, running, jumping and all athletic
sports. News.

EFFECTS OF. TEA SMOKING

Physicians Alarmed at the Growth of the
Habit Among Women.
Physicians and specialists On nervous
troubles are treating numerous cases of
extreme insomnia and nervousness in
young women without disclosing to
them that their condition is the result
of practicing the new vice of smoking
tea cigarettes The habit is increasing
From observations of it's effects a west
side physician declares that "a tea ciga-
rette is genuine brain excitant. Any
one who uses it and yet does not work
with her brain would go half crazy with
nervousness, but with those who do
brain work it is different, for the stimu-
lus produces strange intellectual activ-
ity.
'After a couple of green tea cigarettes
a poem, for instance, will almost waite
itself, am told by one of my literary
patients. The effect of the tea cigarette,
while stimulating to the brain and it's
flow Of thought, acts as a pure sedative
to the rest of the body, quieting restless
ness, uneasiness or actual pain. The
after effects are bad if they have not
been worked off by unusual mental
work
"At some houses green tea cigarettes
are handed around after dinner, and /
know three actresses Of considerable
reputation who give tea smoking parties
twice a week. One woman, to break off
this habit, ON which she has expended
nearly $40 a week, has lately volun-
tarily placed herself under private re-
straint. She had concealed her habit
from her husband by using all artfully
contrived cigarette case. It resembled a
bunch of keys, each key containing one
cigarette.
$50 much has the habit spread that
several tobaoconists and druggists are
keeping tea cigarettes in stock for regu-
larcustomers Theactive chemical prep.
aration of tea is theine, just as caffeine
is of coffee and nicotine Of tobacco
When theme is administered to frog
or a small animal, it is found that it
chiefly influences sensations which CAT
feline on coffee does not. In larger doses
theme produces spontaneous spasms or
conVulsjOns, which caffeine does not.
This u.s. in fact, the ultimate effect of
smoking numerous tea cigarettes, finally
producing fits O. commissions.
Theme also acts as local anas-
thstic, .quieting painful nerves. Green
tea contains MUCK more theme than or
binary black tea. So you see that the
habit of smoking tea cigarettes is terri

Also TrapeZe Performer and q Fighter
Domestfcated In Gotham.
Albert Anderson, who lives in Har-
lem, has monkey named Billy. The
monkey has room 10 by 10 which is
fitted with all sorts of acrobatic appa-
ratus likely to be enjoyed by a small
but healthy tree climber. In one corner
Of the room is a bed, and in another are
two dumbbells made fast with chains,
because the monkey throws things when
it's temper is ruff1ed.
The monkey is SO fond of music that
when Albert Anderson, Jr., plays the
harmonicon in it's hearing, no matter if
it be eating or rollicking, the monkey
stops, and, keeping time to the music
sways back and forth from it's hips, it's
eyes wide open and it's face expressing
great joy. Young Albert gave Billy a
mouth organ one day, and Billy scream
ed with delight. The monkey put the
instrument to it's mouth and blew hard.
A discord followed instead of the tune
which the monkey plainly expected, and
it thereupon held the harmonicon at
arms length to look at It blew the in
strument again and again, each time
looking at it as if to make out what the
trouble was. At last Billy threw the
harmonicon across the room, chattering
in anger. Albert played waltz on his
instrument and Billy grew less excited,
but would not touch harmonicon again.
A week later the boy got music box
for the monkey. After showing Billy
how to turn the crank the boy left the
box on the floor. The monkey looked at
it, turned the box upside down, shook
it, and then, taking hold Of the handle,
began to turn it slowly. The music
came, and the monkey began to dance,
first on one foot and then on the other,
whining with delight. It is only after
the removal Of the box that Billy can
be made to exercise on the bars and
swing enough to keep in health.
Billy does not weigh more than two
pounds, but every grain of those two
pounds is full Of grit when it comes to
fight. Sam, the hoAe cat, big gray
brute, SCARED in street fights with wan
dering tramp cats, got into Billy's room
one day, and the monkeys lips curled
The cat looked up at the r,onkey, which
was on trapeze bar, and licked it's
chops. Billy apparently knew what that
meant and dropped down part way to
the floor. The cat jumped, but Billy
did the giant swing, and the cat missed
Before the cat had got to the floor again
Billy was on it, and in two minutes the
cat was leaping over bars and swings,
yowling with pain. Sam never visited
Billy again. York Sun.

LOVE WHICH ASSAILS.

Love, which assailn US oft 81
At glance or word, -
Strikes home so quick. SO soft,
It is rot seen or heard. +s1.-
Yet shall the heart until its dying day
Bear token OF the gentle despot's sway.
Love his smiling mien, II.
Yet i: he stern.
His boll is shot unseen. :.
The he. ct it cleaves shall burn
And long and wait. snd wait and long again
For love to cure where love has given pain.
Love for it's conquest needs
A day. an hour.
The stricken heart still bleeds-
Such is loves power
While year on year shall in procession glide,
Still seeking love and scorning all beside.
Loves cruelties we know
All we who live,
Yet seek for nothing so
As that the god may give
Us his pleasure, pain and honey gall,
lacking which gifts we lack life's best of all.

OSTRICH HU NTING.
Profitable Sport That Is Making the AZ
Etcan Birds Scarce.

Profitable Sport That Is Making the AZ
rtcan Birds Scarce.
An ostrich chase is very attractive
sport, or rather the sale Of booty is SO
great as to attract hunters. The Arabs
give themselves to it with real passion.
Mounted on their fine little horses, they
try as much as possible to fatigue the
ostrich. for as it is 8 feet high and has
very strong legs it possesses quickness
Of movement which the best horse can
not attain. It has great endurance.
Overtaken by the hunter, it seeks to de.
fend itself with its feet and wings, but
more often it still strives to escape by
night, uttering plaintive cry. In fact,
the ostrich is deprived Of the power Of
flight by reason of it's great size The
muscular force with which nature has
endowed it is not equal to lifting such
a weight. Its peculiar organization has
made 1t the courier of the desert, where
it is able to quickly traverse the almost
imitless expanse. .s,~~..>
The Arab knows very we'll that it is
the habit Of the ostrich to make great
detours about it's nest in circle. He
chases it, then, without ceasing until it
is almost there, when, worn out, it sue
cumbs, concealing it's head in the sand
in order not to see it's enemy, or in
stinctively hoping to escape a danger
which it cannot see any more. This
chase requires eight or ten hours, but it
offers large rewards. The plumes are
worth a considerable sum, the skin
makes good leather, and the Arabs are
very fond of the flesh. Besides, in spite
Of the fact that it reproduces it's species
rapidly, the ostrich is all the time be-
coming rarer, and it is hunted for ex-
port and domestication in other coun-
tries. It is one Of Africa's great re-
sources and may become new source
OF prosperity to Algerians if they are
willing to make the effort. The point of
the popular saying, "the stomach of an
ostrich, has been confirmed recently by
an autopsy Oh one, doubtless for time
captive, when the following was found
in it's stomach: A parasol handle, two
keys, two great pieces Of coal, glove,
handkerchief, pair Of eyeglasses,
ring, comb, three large rocks, the necks
of two beer bottles, the sole of shoe,
bell and a little harmonicon. Paris IL
