1t is strange that while this country
is so far advanced in electric railways
1t should be behind Europe in the pneu-
matte tube system of transmitting mes
sages and small packages. Some Of
the large cities in Europe. such as Lon
don, Birmingham, Pass and Berlin,
have been provided with pneumatic
tubes for messages for forty years, and
they carry an immense business.

a veteran hunter tells in the San

9. mans acrobatic performances. He
says: Y x~
"A remarkable instance I heard of
once, where a famous guide courage
ously advanced upon three grizzlies. an
old she-bear and two half-grown cubs,
and by a series of ridiculous monkey
shines and acrobatic manoeuvres on
the ground within a rod of two of the
bears, filled them with such astonish-
ment and apparent fear that the three
hastily retreated into the woods. =,
THE guides gun had snapped in
both barrels, he having drawn on the
old bear before the young ones appear
ed. He afterward said that it was in
fit of desperation that he tried the
turning of handspring and jumping
up and down, Hopping his hands and
resorting to other unhunter-like meas
ures. J.
HE had been told once that hunt
er mad frightened a mountain-lion away
by similar absurd movements, and he
found that it worked to perfection in
the case of the bears, although he did
not encourage any one to go hunting
grizzlies armed with nothing more
Than capacity to turn somersaults."

A Came1's VENGEANCE.

Camels have great share of intelu.
gence, and the Arabs assert that thew
are so extremely sensible of injustice
and lll-treatment that, when this is car
rled too far, the inf:cter will not find
it easy to escape their vengeance, and
that they will retain the remembrance
of an injury till an opportunity offers
for gratifying their revenge. Eager
however, to express their resentment
they no longer retain any rancor when
once they are satisfied; and it is even
sufficient for them to believe they have
satisfied their veneance. Accordingly
when an Arab has excited the rage of
camel, he throws down his garments
in some place near which the animal
is to pass, and disposes them in such
manner that they appear to cover
man sleeping under them. The animal
recognizes the clothes, seizes them in
his teeth, shakes them with violence
and tramples on them in rage. When
his anger is appeased he leaves them.
and then the owner Of the garments
may make his appearance, and without
any fear may load and guide him as he

A Rush for Indian Maidens.

Sloan Springs (Ark.) correspondence
OF the Kansas City Times: There is a
rush in the matrimonial market over,
in the Cherokee Strip now. The Rev.
Gordon performed the ceremony to-
day that united three white men to as
many Indian maids. The cause of all
this rush is the fact that August Is
is the last date upon which qualifica-
ton as Cherokee citizen can be made,
and as. each dusky maid of the forest
carries with her dowry of 100 acres
Of Territory land, squaw men are be-
ing made very fast now. 1t has been
the custom for white men to go into
the Indian Territory and marry Indian
girls, but never. was there such a rush
as at present among young white men
for Indian wives and the accompany
ing 100 acres of land. To become a
lawful citizen OF the Indian Territory
it appears that all marriages
must now be made according to the
Cherokee custom. To this none of the
white men object.

Boiled to Death.

Boiling to death was once punish
ment inflicted in special cases in Eng
land, four being on record. The first
happened in 1882. when a man was
''sodden in a chaldron in Smithfeld",
In 1882 a retrospective act of parlia-
ment was passed to deal with the case
! Of John Roose, a cook, who had pois-
5oned some food in the kitchen of the
bishop of Rochester and he suffered in
a similar way. In the same year a maid
servant was boiled to death at Kings
Lynn for poisoning her mistress. In
1912 another maid suffered the same
fate for poisoning in three households
in which she had lived. The horrible
nature Of the punishment is partly ex-
planned by the fact that it was only
employed against prisoners, and to
check an almost unknown form Of
crime imported into England from the
continent. sS5s5 ISL s5ts. . ls5

1bucked' it, and we're, one after an

losers didn't feel bit good over being
worked that way, and there was a good
deal of muttering and cursing, to say
nothing Of menacing scowls and ner-
vous lingering Of pistols. But the
! gambler, a thin, Wiry little cuss, had
4 his nerve with him, and he proceeded
with his game as coolly as though he
had been surrounded by friends.
At last old Buck went over to the
table and put up a twenty dollar gold

Evading the Law.

The London Telegraph tells story Of
a collier who amuses himself with fly
ing pigeons. He had occasion to go to
town recently, and took with him a
bird in bag. He was about to toss up
the pigeon in the town hall square when
a policeman came up and told him that
he must not fly the bird there.
why not?" asked the collier,
because it is forbidden, and shall
have to lock you up if you do"
The collier, with the usual sharpness
of his kind, thereupon took the pigeon
out of the bag, set it on the ground,
stroked it's wing, and said to it: CAV
corn'd toss thee up here, so thou mum
walk whoam; dost yer? thou nun walk
whoam."
The bird, of course, rose in the air.
leaving the policeman petrified With
