A REMARKABLE SHOT.

The wonderful performances of DR..
Carver have given him a worldwide
reputation as marksman. His shot
always seems to strike the right spot.
In this respect he resembles one of
Seattle's best known products. Rainier
beer always strikes the right spot. 1t
is sparkling, healthful beverage, par
ticularly beneficial to persons requir-
ing a mild tonic, for which it is highly
endorsed by many physicians. Rainier
beer is found on the sideboards of the
leading people throughout the city.

A Pallacy About Sleep.

How often have we been warned
against late sitting and late rising
on the ground that zone hours sleep
before midnight is worth two after
it," "Keep regular hours" we are
told; might is the natural time for
sleeps go to bed and rise with the
SUM-" seek and leave your nests
with the birds" Sc. There we're al
ways few sceptics who declared
their inability to see that it matter
ed when one slept, so long as he had
enough Of it, and ventured to hint
that there were countries where the
sun hardly went to bed at all, and
that even in our own cline he was
somewhat irregular in his hours.
They we're not much regarded, but
navy doctor now supports them
with certain observations he made
during some years at sea. Among
sailors the hours allotted to sleep
are always changing. One watch
sleeps while the other is on duty,
and the watches are arranged that
while one lot men have their "turn
in" before midnight one week, they
have it after midnight the next.
This doctor, who made special
study of the matter, says he could
never discover that watch officers
and men we're not as fully refreshed
by their sleep at one time as an.
other. or az medical and pay-officers
who stand no watch, aud have early
and regular sleeping hours.
The nose, not the mouth, is the
ori6ce through which air should be
taken into the lungs In the course
Of it's passage, air when breathed
through the nose is little better
prepared for the lungs than taken
in by the mouth, being little better
warmed, and more of the dust and
floating microbes being intercepted.
Breathing by the mouth, too, has
nasty, drying effect on the throat.
When the meuth has to be opened
to assist the nose in supplying the
lungs with air, doctors suspect some
obstruction in the nasal passage
which should be removed, or some
chest weakness that should be at
tended to. 1t is not always so, how
ever; the practice is often merely the.
result of habit, which can be correct
ed Medical observers report that cycl-
lists are often found wheeling with
the mouth open, and say that this
suggests over exertion on the part OF
the riders. They should be able to
do all their breathing by the nose.

Blue Laws and Sunday Concerts.

In the Queens Bench Division of
the High Court, last mouth, before
MIR. Justice Collins, an action was
tried, williams v. Wright" in
which the plaintiff claimed ESQ as a
penalty against the printer and
publisher of The Times, under the
Act 81 George III, cap. 40, on &C.
count OF the insertion in The Times
OF March 20 OF an advertisement of
a Sunday concert in the Queens
hall. He pleaded that this was an
advertisement of public entertain
ment or amuse ment on the Lords
Day to which persons were to be
admitted on the payment OF money.
The defendant denied that the ad-
vertisement was that OF public
entertainment or amusement within
the meaning OF the Act. The
plaintiff conducted his own case.
After hearing evidence and argu.
ment by counsel for the defendant,
His Lordship decided that, as there
was free admission to the concert,
though prices were charged for re-
served seats, the defendant was en-
titled to judgement, which was en-
tered for him accordingly, with
costs.-English Law Reports

bronchia! tufts, or lungs, are Of

and on the palate are small and sharp.
The head Is triangular and the snout
obtuse. The eyes are very small and
without lids The breathing of this
reptile is essentially aquatic, so far as
the outside lungs are concerned, though
II has internal lungs, and rises to the
top of the water when these are filled
with air. 1t can live but a short time
out of the water. Whenever the water
in which it lives gets low it buries it,

mollusks. 1t is found only in the sub
terranesn waters of certain caves of

A STRANGE REPTILE,

Early this month a strange reptile
was found on George WOrCesters farm
near Middletown, Ohio. 1t puzzled
every one till the Cincinnati Enquirer
discovered that it was a genuine pro-
teus. During the recent floods por-
tion of the farm was inundated, and
after the waters receded whole dis
tricts Of muddy sediment were exposed.
II was in this mud that Worcester dis
covered the reptile, and, capturing it,
placed il on exhibition. To those who
are acquainted with the history OF this
species of reptile il Is unnecessary to
state that its rarity makes it a curl
Gus sight. 1t is about one foot long,
with an elongated and cylindrical body.
The tail is short, broad and COM
pressed laterally. The strangest fea-
ture of the reptile is It's lungs, which
arc on the outside of its body, and so
transparent that the Hood can be seen
courslng through them. 1t has three

trying to beat the government out of

AN INTER-sT STATE CASE.
one of the most interesting cases in
the history Of the department began in
New York and ended in Kansas. one
day a money broker in the Bowery
sent in for redemption the halves of
some bills--S50 worth. He received
promptly n treasury draft for $25. Now,
half notes are always a little suspic-
ious. II is difficult to imagine a legiti-
mate reason for cutting a bill in two
pieces. In this case 1t was decided to
put the half notes away and await de-
velopments. They came two and a
half years later from an unsupported
quarter. A Kansas hank sent to the
treasury the other halves of the mutt
lated notes, the inside edges scorched,
and with them an elaborate affidavit.
The atfidavit swore that he was a far
mer; that while harvesting he had
hung his coat on a fence; that the
brush near the fence had caught fire,
and before he could rescue his coat 1t
had been badly burned; that bills ag-
gregating $50, which were in the pocket
of his coat were destroyed by fire, and
that the fragments accompanying the
affidavit were all that was left of the
burned money. With this affidavit
was q letter, from the cashier of the
bank saying that the deponent was
man of the highest standing in the
community, and that the facts were
undoubtedly as he had stated.
Mr.. Relyea sent reply to the cash
ier's letter. saying there must be some
mistake-that the other halves of the
notes were in the possession of the
treasury. The cashier answered furi-
ously. Unless restitution was made
within two days, he said the Hon.
--, member of congress from a Kan
sas district, would call and demand an
explanation.
This threat made the treasury ofic-
ials angry. They were not going to be
bulldozed. They promptly notified the
department of justice. Word was sent
to the district attorney for Kansas
He replied that prosecution would be
hopeless. The farmer was not only a
wealthy and highly respected citizen
but a director of the bank through
which the affidavit had been sent, and
it would not be possible to convict him.
The department of justice was in fa-
vor of dropping the case; the treasury
insisted on trying it. Finally the man
was indicted and Mr. Relyea was noti-
fled to attend the trial. On the day on
which he was to start west a telegram
came saying the highly respected far
mer had pleaded guilty and paid a
fine o. 81 600

TIIEFTS.

Some years ago there was employed
in the redemption division a bright
faced youth who was a great favorite
with the clerks. No one knows that
he stole any money, but these facts
are beyond dispute. Money disap-
pcared while he was employed in the
office, and the disappearances stopped
suddenly when he was transferred to
the vault room. Not long afterward he
was caught stealing silver from the
vaults, tried, and convicted Under the
conditions, the inference that he stole
from the redemption division is fair
The first money which was missed
in the redemption division was a s.
bill The clerk having charge of the
money made up the amount Then S25
was missing. This was "A pretty heavy
loss The expert clerks i'm the redemp-
tlun division receive only 81 900 to ST.

one day $1,000 bill disappeared. Then
there was a COmmotiOn The treasurer
Oc the United states had to make good
the shortage and go to congress for
redress. There is little doubt in the
redemption division that the young
vault thief got the 81 600 Dill
This incident was used by the treas
urer to point the moral of a recon-
mendation to congress for additional
clerks He recommended that a force
be employed to keep a register of the
numbers of the notes of large denom-
nations sent in for redemption. No
such record had ever been kept, and
as congress refused to make the ap-
preparation the record is not kept now.
There is no doubt that it should be.
No business man would pay his notes
and destroy them without keeping
some record of the transaction, yet the
government each year pays millions of
It's obligations and destroys the notes
which represent them, and it cannot
stare today what notes are outstand-
ing and what have been redeemed.
