A Good Deer Story.

Capt W. H. Henderson, of Gamer
on, Ga, says the Atlanta Constitu
ton, was on the banks of Ogeechee
river fishing, when he saw two deer
come down the opposite bank aud
plunge into the water, making foe
the point where he was sitting. He
had no weapon other than a pocket
knife, but the Captain, who is noted
for his courage and fearlessness and
loves exciting sport, determined to
attack them single handed when they
came across. Concealing himself in
the bushes, he waited with knife in
hand until they got nearly to the
bank, when be plunged into the
water to meet them. Selling the
largest one-a fine BUCKLEY the
horns, they began a fierce struggle in
the water, the deer fighting for life
and the Captain for venison. After
a hard combat, in which the issue
was sometimes doubtful, the Cap
tain at last managed to press the
bucks head back far enough to cut
his throat with the knife. 1t was a
heavy load to handle in the water,
but the big deer was finally landed
on the bank, and the tired Captain,
with his family and friends, feasted
on venison for the next week.

A GOOD many people will work five
times as hard, and give five times as
much in connection with fair, with
the risk of taking a weeks vacation
behind closed doors as they would be
willing to do or give in connection
with a subscription paper: There
seems to be a halo of ''glory, an
esthetic exhiliration about co-opera-
tive benevolence," which fails to
come to the surface on a sheet OF
paper, which merely holds a record
of cold promise to pay the hard cash.
SOME of the Legislatures now in
session in other States are trying to
get ahead of our own gang, that will
go home today covered with glory,
In the introduction of frivolous bills.
A member of the Missouri Legislature
introduced a bill creating a board
for the inspection of the capabilities
of BARRIERS. Another member of the
same body offered another queer bill
prohibiting railroad corporations
from using wooden rails and tying
them together with a string. A
moral law maker in Pennsylvania
has brought in bill for the consid-
Grafton of the Legislature of his State
which provides for the cutting of the
grass in the streets of Philadelphia.
In the Minnesota Senate a bill has
passed requiring saloon-keepers to
paint the word dangerous" on their
doors, which is the least "freaky"
suggestion of them all.
MONEY is all powerful. We have
seen it's influence in many ways for
the last six months. 1t was money
that defeated Bryan and elected
Mckinley. 1t was money that put
Mark Hanna the king bee of monop.
olies into the United States Senate.
1t was money that elected Pritchard
to the Senate. 1t has been money
that has influenced a great deal of
the legislation at Raleigh recently.
1t is the influence of money that pre-
vents the law from reaching the
trusts. 1t was this same influence
that destroyed the government of
magnificent Rome, when she was at
the zenith of her glory, and caused
streams of blood to flow down the
streets of Paris, when the rich and
powerful had made slaves of the
poor people. History repeats ITSELF"
When will this country take warn
ing and rise above the influence of
wealth, and give to the people a
government, such as was desired
and intended by those who gave to
us "the land of the free and the home
of the brave?"

Norwegians in the thirteenth century.
The Lombards were originally the
Langobardi or Long-beards. They
migrated into Italy from Northern
Prussia.
The Hittites were first mentioned

A DEAD HORSE

The tail and name are especially
valuable, and from these are made
the hair cloth of commerce.
The short hair taken from the
hide is used to stuff cushions and
horse-collars; thus the dead are
made to minister to the comfort of
the living.
The hide furnishes a waterproof
leather known to the trade as cor
dovan, and is used for the manufac
ture of highclass hunting and wading
boots.
The boots of the animal are re-
moved, and after being boiled to
extract the oil from them the horny
substance is shipped to the manufac-
turers of combs and what are known
as Mikado goods.
The leg bones are very hard and
white, and are used for handles Of
pocket and table cutlery.
The ribs and head are burned to
make bone black, after they have
been treated for the glue that is in
them.
In the calcining of these bones the
vapours arising are condensed, and
form the chief source of carbonate of
ammonia, which constitutes the base
of nearly all ammoniacal salts.
Tnere is an animal oil yielded in
the cooking process which is a deadly
poison. and enters into the compost
ton of many insectides and vermi-
fuges.
The bones to make glue are dis
solved in muriatic acid, which takes
the phosphate OF lime away; the soft
element retaining the shape of the
bone is dissolved in boiling water,
cast into squares and dried on nets.
The phosphate Of lime, acted upon
by sulphuric acid and calcined with
carbon, produces phosphorus for
lucifer matches.
The remaining flesh is distilled to
obtain carbonate of ammonia.
The resulting mass yields prussiate
OF potassium, with which tissues are
dyed and iron transformed to
steel. 1t also forms cyanide of
potassium and prussic acid, the two
most terrible poisons known in
chemistry.

Taking Camera to Europe.
I in,


Robert Luce in Going Abroad"
1t is not worth while to carry abroad a
camera using plates: the film camera is
bulk enough, goodness knows, and many
a time you wish it at the bottom of the
sea, yet on the whole you will be glad of
having taken it. The 4x5 size Is the best
smaller sizes may give clear results, but
the additional satisfaction in having big
ger pictures repays the added trouble
Larger sizes are cumbersome and fatiguing.
Films can be secured in any of the large
cities Of Europe; before starting you can
get from the American manufacturers lists
of foreign agencies. If the films are taken
from here, ave them delivered in tin CAMS
tiers. to pre- tect them from the dampness
of the sea voyage. 1t will be well to ex-
starting, and develop them, to make sure
that they are perfect. The man who has
never used hand Camera does a very fool
ish thing IL he starts off on a long jour-
is all very well to advertise. You push
the button and we do the rest" but push
ing the button isn't all of 1t by any means.
The combinations of speed of shutter and
ing and some experience before the best
results are attained. The art is not diff
cult; 1t is an easy thing to use a hand
camera after you know how; but even the
simplest processes will confuse a novice.
And it is pity to carry a camera over
all Europe, go to the bother of hunting
for good subjects and come back to find
that through ignorance of some apparently
trivial thing, you have spoiled half your
films. When intelligent people beginning
to use a camera, in spite Of the plainest
directions, will point it toward the source
of light. or press the button without re-
that little teaching by experience is es-
sential.

Freezing Processes for Excavation.


From the Engineering Magazine.
In mining for gold IN Siberia the ground
Is kept clear Of snow, SO as to permit the
cold to penetrate as ceeply as possible,
after which the surface is thawed by fires
until a shallow layer Of earth can be re-
moved. The freezing is then allowed to
proceed, and the thawing operation repeat
ed and this is continued as long as the cold
weather lasts. In this way. through the
long Siberian winters. open excavations
are made to the gold-bearing rocks, the
depth attained being from twenty-five to
seventy-five feet, according to the duration
of the cold season.
Artificial cold for purposes Of excavation
was used first by Poetsch in 1888; by his
well-known process of the circulation of
cold brine through q series of buried pipes
the most difficult Quicksand may be made
hard enough to be excayated like rock. In

paratus used in sinking the shaft at the
Courrieres mines. together with formulas

Of any given dimensions.
Among the important applications Of the
freezing process are noted the sinking of
the shafts for the cylinders Of the hydrau-
lie elevator for the canal lift at Les Fonti-
nettes. and the construction Of a tunnel at
Stockholm. The latter work was executed
entirely by the Introduction Of cold air into

1t remains to be seen whether the rezula-

uniform. 1t was the ever present fear of
the unknown policeman which kept the
scorchers In check to some extent at least.
Now all they have to do is to look out for
the uniform and ''be good" when it is in
sight. The small force of policemen on
wheels cannot cover our 800 miles of
streets. and the scorchers can easily keen

There was a sort of epidemic of youthful
offenders today in the Police Court, and the
proceedings incident to the trial Of each
we're rather interesting.
The first to face the stern eye Of justice
was Mat Warner, little chap about six
years old, who was apparently frightened
to the degree Of spasms when the clerk
read very appalling information. charg-
ing the theft of a handful-very small
hsndful-of ginger snaps from a grocery
establishment at 7th street near Rhode
Island avenue.
Il don't want to send this little fellow to
Jail, said Judge Kimball
Then, addressing the mother Of the boy,
woman Of the plantation type, the court
continued: Madam, If you will promise to
correct your child, and give him to under
stand that he must not steal, I'll release
him on personal bonds"
Il don think he'll want any mo- ginger
snaps when l gifts froo VIII him." was the
omlnous reply Of the mother, whereat Mat
trembled with renewed vigor. AS he pass
eo through the doorway, in the firm grasp
OF the maternal hand, he was shaking like
an aspen leaf.

boy, was arrested by Policeman Fennerly
for the systematic larceny of Jars of milk
from doorways Of houses in Georgetown.
He was armed with a measure, and after
stealing the tactical fluid would peddle n
from door to door.

POLICE APPOINTMENTS.
CommissiOner Makes q Change in the
Method Of Selection.

NctHO0 OF Selection.
Commissioner Wight has changed the
method of police appointments. Heretofore
the applicant who had passed the highest
examination before the civil service board
has been given preference. Commissioner
Wight believes that this is unfair to those
who have not been so fortunate, but never
theless have reached the required percent
age in the mental examination. There are
several instances where good men have
been kept waiting for months because they
were outranked in the civil service exam
nation. This has all been changed now,
and all that is required of applicant is
that he pass the prescribed examination
and obtain percentage of 20. When va
cancies occur the applications will be taken
up and preference given to those whose
papers were filed earliest. Another inno-
walton adopted by Commissioner Wight is
that before an appointment is made the ap-
pilcant must appear before Major Moore
for his inspection.
