WIDOW QUITE PHILOSOPHICAL.

Pastors Condolences on Her Husbands
Death Very Graciously Acknowledged.
A North side Lutheran pastor recent
ly assigned 70 fashionable congrega-
ton is wondering whether hereafter it
will be policy for him to offer con-
dolences when young matrons of his
flock lose their husbands, or forever
keep his peace. He is very much per-
turbed over an incident which occurred
quite recently, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
Some time last summer and before he
had been assigned to this particular
church the invalid husband of one Of
his prominent church members went
TO the far west in the hope that change
of climate might restore him to health.
But the rarifed atmosphere of the
mountains instead of benefting the in
valid, who was consumptive, rather
FASTENED the progress of the disease
and within very few weeks he died
Last week the young widow returned.
What more natural than that the par
son should offer his sympathies to the
bereaved one.
You have my slncerest sympathy"
he said to the young woman. "But,
after all, you have this consolation that
the dear one is now past all suffering
and probably much happier"
You are too kind, parson," answered
the young widow. Indeed, he lasted
much longer than | thought he would.
l expected he would go much sooner.
1t was hopeless case"
Such philosophic view of the case
rather startled the good man. 1t came
so unexpectedly that it left him moth
ing more to say and he beat as hasty
a retreat as he could

SNAKE SUICIDE,
A Rather with Three Fangs shuf1es Or
His Mortal Coil,

A United States cavalryman, sta
toned at Fort Meade, S. D., writes to
Forest and Stream as follows in regard
to the self-destruction of a three-fanged
rattlesnake:
GAS to the suicide of the creature.
am forced to ask for an explanation.
The snake at first sight, coiled up in
the usual manner for prime strike,
made vicious lunge at my logging,
then drew back and closely scrutinized
me from hat to shoe. Instantly a
change of expression came over his
features, and ferocity gave way to a
look that might have been born of dis
gust and resignation. [ watched him
closely, not knowing what might be
his next move. He suddenly astonished
me by plunging headlong into the
Belle Fourche. Motionless he sank, and
lay at full length at the bottom. con-
tinued to watch him until the last YES
tige of his reptilious breath had risen
to the placid surface in pearIy bub-
BILE, and then with the aid of a stick [
raised him from the water, placed him
in the sunshine and satisfied myself
that life was extinct. l had never
known or heard of a RATHER taking to
water, and here I was confronted by
the plainest case of suicide by drowning
in broad daylight l have since then
lost all faith in snakes. l have adopted
and discarded every theory that might
offer solution in this case, and am now
driven to the belief that this snake de-
liberately suicided because it had COM
mitted the blunder of wasting a we'll
meant three-fanged strike on a United
States cavalryman. Hereafter I shall
travel incognito in those parts"

EYELASHES MADE TO ORDER.
Singular Plan of Operations Adopted by
Chicago Hairdresser.

Singular Plan of Operations Adopted by
q Chicago Hairdresser.
In fashionable hairdressing parlor
on one of the downtown streets one
reads the sign: "Eyelashes made to
order"
81 do not know that there is anything
particularly novel about it," said the
blond young woman who was asked for
information. eve have done this sort
of work for MONTHS
"And have you many patrons in that
line?"
Not SO many as we have in the other
branch Of our business, the removal of
hair or wrinkles by means of electric
ity, but still we have some.'
And then she explained the process
of making artificial eyelashes An ex-
ceedingly delicate little instrument is
used. 1t consists of a needle operated
through a spring by means of the
finger. At one end of the needle hair
is inserted. When the operator is ready
to work on the person she takes the
eyelid between two fingers of the left
hand. The needle is then thrust into
the f1eshy part of the eyelid as close
to the eye as possible and the tiny hairs
are actually sewed on.
EyelaShes thus manufactured are
warranted to last two weeks without
repairs. Of course the process hurts
the patient, but what woman will not
willingly submit to suffering to retain
her beauty and her powers to charm?

Corsica.

According to a British consular re.
port, invalids in search of winter sta
ton might do worse than try the cap
ital Of the Island Of Corsica. The av-
erage temperature is three to four de-
grees higher than that of the Riviera.
Ajaccio, moreover, being thoroughly
sheltered by the surrounding noun
tains and the aspect of the bay being
due south, the dreaded ''mistral' is un-
known. 1t is admitted, however, that
there are some drawbacks. Living in
the island is dear, nearly all articles of
consumption usually required by for
eign residents having to be imported.
Altogether, affairs in Corsica do not ap-
pear to be in a satisfactory state. The
island and it's population are described
as ''eminently poor and were it not
for the assistance bestowed by France
the Corsicans would be forced either to
starve or bestir themselves latter
alternative appearing to be one from
which they are decidedly averse.

CLIMBING ELEPHANTS.
Able to Go Up and Down Mountains
When Mules Cannot.

Able to Go Up and Down Mountains
When Mules Cannot.
Elephants are able to make their way
up and down mountains and through
a country of steep cliffs, where mules
would not dare to venture, and even
here men find passage difficult. Their
tracks have been found upon the very
summmits Of mountains over 1000 feet
high. In these journeys an elephant is
often compelled to descend hills and
mountain sides which are almost preci-
pitous. This is the way 1t is done:
The elephants first maneuver is to
kneel down close to the declivity. One
foreleg is then cautiously passed over
the edge and short way down the
SLOPE and if he finds there is no good
spot for a firm foothold, he speedily
forms one by stamping into the soil, If
it is moist, or kicking out a foothold if
it is dry. When be is sure of a good foot
hold the other foreleg is brought down
in the same way. Then he performs the
same work over again with his feet,
bringing both forelegs little in ad-
vance for the first foothold. This leaves
good places already made for the hind
feet. Now. bracing himself up by his
huge, strong forelegs, he draws his hind
legs, first one and then the other, care
fully over the edge, where they occupy
the first places made by the forefeet.
This is the way the huge animal pro-
ceeds all the way down, zigzag, kneel-
ing with his forefeet. Thus, the center
of gravity is preserved, and the huge
beast is prevented from topping over
on his nose

TRADUClNG OUR FLOUR.

British dillers Go to Great Lengths to
N Avoid it, Competition.
s. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1l.-As an illus
.tiation of the unfair and conscienceless
methods that certain elements among
British millers are using in the effort
to stop the growing importation of
America -four, United States Consul
fancy at Belfast has forwarded to the
department of State extracts from Irish
trade papers making the broad charge
that all of the American flour is adul-
terated. According to this remarka-
BILE statement the adulterant is corn
meal, which is SO finely ground as to
defy detection when mixed with flour.
The very whiteness and purity Of our
flour is cited in proof Of the charge, for
it is said that as the British millers can
make only yellow flour from Indian
wheat, the Americans must add the
cornmeal, which is of a blush tint to
make their -four white. The consul
says this sort of argument is used with
evil effect.

spirit of loyalty had manifested itself
in the presence of colonial men and

the outlay of hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars was exhausted in five hours.

BIG BATTLE AT BlDA.

Story OF the Loss Inflicted on the Emir Of
s Nupe.
!: LONDON, Feb. ia telegram from
the west coast Of Africa, dated Jan. s,
says that the Royal Niger company's
expedition against the emir of Nupe
engaged in big battle which lasted
from sunrise until sunset on that date,
the British columns driving their Fulah
enemies before them. It is estimated
that the followers of the emir mum.
bered at least 10000.
Y The British advance column formed
a square, the Maxim rapid fire guns
being stationed at the corners. The
Fulah forces charged repeatedly, but
were mown down and failed to touch
the square. Seven, nine and twelve.
pound guns at this juncture arrived
and assisted the troops formed in the
square, the men in command of the
guns having fought their way from the
rear and bombarded the retreating
masses of the enemy, ;nflicting heavy
losses. Darkness then stopped the
action
