TAUGHT HER a LESSON.
After That the Key Probably Found n
New Hiding Place.

New Hiding Place.
The other day very estimabe lady
came to town to do little shopping,
says the Atlanta Constitution. OF
course the key was put under the door
mat 50 that her son could gctin. In her
absence n tramp, who lad been hanging
around the place Il number Of days and
had caught on, boldly went into the
house, got some of the choicest yiands
cut OF the pantry, put them on the table
aud pitched in. lie also found a bottle
of wine that revived his spirits. lie did
not expect anyone there for n number
of hours and so took it easy.
In the meantime the lady Of the house
having finished her shopping, returned
HON. and seeing the front door uu-
locked expected to find ler son inside.
Imagine her horror when She opened
the dininr-rcom door and saw sitting
at her table the errsticst-lcolsing tramp
that ever We'd with his companions in
accommodating dirt on his cpidermis,
The lady was dumfounded. In the
silence that followed the tramp coolly
remarked:
"Madam, I shall become scarce now,
ez Eve eaten enuff. All l kin give yer
back fer this good meal and wat ] want
ter say ter yer is that yer ought TO find
Il new hidin' place fer yer key. won't
charge yer nothin' for this advice
With that the tramp departed.

Clever Answers.

1t is curious freak of circumstances
that the first of the British isles to
grant the right of franchise to women
should be the Isle OF Man. II rather
reminds one of the story English wom-
en- are fond of telling: A school in
spcctor once asked class to name the
Islands of the British isles. No one
mentioned the Isle OF Man To remind
them, the inspector asked: well, what
would YOU call an island thar had no
women on it?" And gallant small
boy promptly cried: 81 know, sir The
SeilIy isles"

REVERSING NATURES PROCESS
Sons Things Tint Would Happen II
EzperimentnIists Had Their Way.


Tic reversbility of the physical
processes of nature has latterly been the
subject Of interesting comment, says
Casters Magazine. Lord Kelvin, for
example, has been credited with saying
that all of them, no matter how com
pleS they might appear to the human
senses, consist in reality of the motions
ofinvisib!e molecules. and if, therefore,
by some means, all these molecules
could, at the same time, he made to move
in exactly the opposite direction, and
each with the same velocity that it
possessed at the moment, all the world
would begin and continue to move back
ward; waterfalls would flow up the
sides of cliffs; rivers would run upward
from the sea; rain would rise; full
blown flowers would shrink into buds
and plants Gwindle into seedlings, man
himself would become young agnin,
passing from old age to infancy. just
what kind of pictures such topsy-
tuTvy world would present may be seen
with kinetcscopc running backward.
Prof. Queroult, according to report, has
made observations in this line, and some
time ago communicated them to the
French academy of science.

The Worlds Harvest.

II London Economist of July 3lst
Riye4a 10 review of the worlds harvests.
The kheat crop is poor in England, the
potatp crop it is feared will be very poor,
the hty crop and root crop passible, and
Engl1pd is much better OFF than the
coetii mt
The Trench wheat crop is 10000, 900
bushels less than the crop of 1896; the
Italian wheat crop is short $4,000, 900
bushelS; there is similar shortage in
the Hungarian wheat crop; Russia is
short in wheat and rye; in Roumania,
Bulgaria and European Turkey the crop
is so par cent short; Germany has near
ly notmai crop, while there is good
crop Il Holland, Belgium, Denmark,
Sweden Ind Spain. Summing up, the
Economtt puts the deficiency of this
years E,topean wheat crop below that
of last at ertainly 24o,ooo,oCo bushels
1t says theI United States are relied upon
to makel p the shortage, as neither
Australia nor India will have any sur
Plus, and Argentine is as yet an un-
known quantity. This makes good
outlook for American wheat for this
year and partially for next, for the
worlds s4rpiuslwill probably be lower
when tho -.axt harvest comes in than
it has been before for years. That ac-
counts for the Eastern boom. AS we
said, tie great present prosperity comes
from short crops abroad, and the Indian

MALARlAL PARASITES.
Fatal Infectious Diacase IN India and
tyricD,


The tsetsc fly disease of Afriru has re-
Gently been shown by the researches OF
Bruce to be due TO n tlGgcllate infu-
sorium which is found in the blood of
infected animals, says the Popular Sci
eucc Monthly. This disease Is fatal 10
the OK, the horse, the dog, the sheer
and the ass. but not to the indigenous
wild animals in the region infested by
the tsetsc fly. The researches of Bruce
indicate that the fly acts as carrier OF
the parasite from diseased TO healthy
animals. lie has shown by experiment
that after feeding on the blood of an
infected animal the tsctsc fly can com
nunicatc the disease to healthy ami
nal by its bite. After short period Of
incubation the hae.natoza appear in the
blood coucurrently with the develop
mcnt of fever and followed by rapidly
progressive iraemia, dropsy and death.
The so-ca!led 'slIrra disease" which
prevails in certain portions ofIndia, is
believed to be due to a similar parasitic
Frotozoan Urypanosma evangD. Ac-
cording 10 Lingard this infusorium ex-
lists as an innocuous parasite in the
blood of rats in India. 1t is not catho-
genie, or only feebly so, for the native
OK of India, but gives rise to fatal in
fectious disease in horses, dogs and
camels.

Silver's Decline.

The decline in the price of silver is of
serious import. The political aspect Of
the question gives way to the CONNER
cial significance of the fact that silver
is selling at 5li cents an ounce, and the
silver in Mexican dollar at that rate is
worth but 80 cents in gold. There are
no. buyers. Even China for the first
time in history is seller. India has
been poor customer for three years,
and in general, conditions in the Orient
have steadily tended to cause a depres.
sion in the price of silver. says the Min
ing and Scientific Press.
Mexico figures that the fall in the
price of silver Tor the rise in the price
of goldl may, if it continues, be of ad-
vantage there as encouraging domestic
manufacture, the present condition be-
ing the same as an extraordinary high
tariff in that country; to-day draft to
settle bill of 500 in goods bought here
costs the Mexican importer $222.2I. AS
between Japan and China the fall must
encourage manufacturing in the latter
country and turn the balance of trade
against the former. 1ndia's present for
lorn condition of famine places her out
side the ordinary limits Of business
discussion.
The drop causes concern to European
countries having debtor obligations pay
able in gold, and may hasten the uiti-
mate solution of the question by an
international understanding.
The versatile American miner long
since began other ways of earning a
livelihood; when he found silver was
denied its ancient rights he simply
started in to mine what was in more
present demand, viz, gold and copper :;
should at any time these metals be at a
discount he will furnish whatever the
fashion of the day demands. While the
low price Of silver has been the ruina-
tion of many mines, and has caused a
paralysis of entire sections formerly
prosperous, it has occasoned such a
development of the gold mining indus
try as to create new demand for men
and machinery in that direction and
thus partly compensate for the drop in
the price of silver, that beginning seven
years ago has now eliminated in tho
lowest price for silver in the commercial
records Of the century.

Rainbow Chasing.

The glamour of the Klondike gold
excitement in Alaska will for the time
being create something of stampede
among people in this country who feel
that they are foot loose and who may
be in the habit of chasing every wilI-o
the-wisp that shows its glimmering
light along the horizon of the times. A
great many unattached people will go as
matter Of course and their presence
will not be materially missed. The
most Of these people are prOyerbially lily
provided for the rigors of that climate.
Others with more complete means will
be drawn into the spiders web only to
squander their limited capital stock in
useless search and will return in time
thoroughly disgusted with the expedi-
ton. Still others with sufficient means
will be caught in the maelstrom and in
going will invest in blind leads only to
be disappointed in time, and will come
back with new chapter written with
an icicle of their personal experience
only money can buy and which always
comes SO high.
The history of all such harumscarum
excitements have had but the same com.
mon conclusion. There has not been
enough gold to go round and the major
ity of prospectors and adventurers have
returned empty handed. The trails of
wildcat exploration have left many
buried on the ground where their fail
ures overlook them, others have drifted
away aimless to other shores and still
others come out with the favors of
tickle fortune smiling upon them, but
these are few indeed, and their newly
acquired wealth is of that ephemeral
Character which soon disappears and is
lost forever.
While the exciting tide of pressing
humanity runs high in the direction of
the frozen north, others will remain at
home pursuing the even tenor of their
ways, and the chances are ten to one
that they will make more substantial
gain in given period than the unsettled
ones who put off in hot chase for the
nnattainable. The amount of energy

Notice to Hunters and Others.
]. s. Swan, commissioner of the States
Department of Forestry Game and Fish,
has issued circular relative to the open
season for big game. 1t is as follows:
To Whom 1t May Concern:
AS the open season for the killing of
game birds begins on the 18th of the
present month and closes with the last
day Of October. and the open season for
the killing Of horned deer and antelope
begins with the LIST day of September and
closes with the 18th day of October. this
circular is issued to more fully call the
attention of the hunting public to the
number of large game and birds that may
be legally killed by each person under
the provisions of the game law of the
state. approved April 18th, 1897.
While it should be needless to say that
there 70 NO provision In the law giving
one class of citizens greater privileges
in the matter of the killing and having
game In possession than another class,
the idea that such a provision in the law.
though unwritten, is tacitly recognized,
has gained credit in certain quarters.
No reliance should be placed OH such
contention. The laws relating to this
department, like all other laws, apply to
every one alike, and all game wardens
and special game wardens are instructed
and required to SO enforce them.
But one horned deer or antelope may
be had in possession of one person at any
time, and no part of any such animal
shall be wasted or thrown away.
The head and horns. hide, or any part
of deer or antelope is construed to
mean one such animal.
No animal, nor part thereof, shall be
offered for shipment or shipped by any
common carrier or railroad company un-
less accompanied by the lawful possess
or thereof.
individuals having the right to be in
possession of game under the law, shall
mean generally such as have killed the
same.
The possession at one time, of 20 game
birds Of the kinds that are permitted to
be killed is allowed.
The taking or killing of any mountain
sheep, elk or bison of the large game,
and any quail, pheasant, partridge and
ptarmigan, and all insectivorous birds
and beaver, Is prohibited at all times.
An attempt is TO be made in good earn
est by this department to enforce the
game laws Of the state without discrim-
ination or rfavoritism. And the co. o.opera-
tion of all good citizens and sportsman
is earnestly solicited to this end, so that
the game laws of the state may be SO
preserved and protected that Colorado
may, among its other resources and at
fractions, continue to merit the name
and fame Of "the hunters paradise"
ANY person caught In the violation of
these laws will be vigorously prosecuted.
