Russian "COIic" Stones.

Travellers who have penetrated into
the eastern portion of Southern Russia
find that the people have many strange
beliefs in the power Of charms. The
charm most generally worn by the
people In that part of the Cars vast
domain Is a round, fat bone, which is
found in the head Of certain species
of northern fish. They are called "colic
stones" and the superstitious wearers
of such charms believe that they have
the power to prevent collie, and a host
Of other diseases among the minor all
ments to which human flesh is heir.
This queer superstition is not con-
fined to the ignorant, poorer classes,
but appears to exist in all kinds OF So
ciety. The wealthy have collie stones
mounted in gold, and in this shape they
are worn on the necklace next to the
ever-present cross.

Hurried MeaDs.

1t is a mistake to eat quickly. Mas
tication performed in haste must be
imperfect, even with the best Of teeth,
and due admixture Of the saliyary Sc
erection with the food cannot take place.
When the practice of eating quickly
and filling the stomach with unpre-
pared food is habitual, either much
larger quantity Of food than would
be necessary under natural conditions
is required. or the system suffers from
lack of nourishment. A man may hab-
itually live under an infection Of hur-
ried meals, and endure the consequent
loss TT health, without knowing why
he is not well or how easily the causa
Of his illness might be remedied.

Kamr Dentistrv.

The most barbarous method Of dem
tistry is that practiced by the KafEirs.
The K..fiir dentist places his patient on
the ground and four men hold him
down, two taking his arms and two his
legs. Then the operator kneels down
beside him, and, taking a piece of
sharpened ivory, steel or wood, calmly
proceeds to hack away at the gum un-
til the offending tooth is loose. He
then extracts it with finger and thumb,
the patient having suffered, naturally,
unspeakable agonies. The time occu-
pied in this operation is often of long
duration, sometimes extending over as
much as thirty minutes, but of course
this varies according to the strength Of
the tooth.

a WILD CAT TALE
Water and Frosted Rails Trap the
Animal and Death F0llows,

Water and Frosted Rails Trap the
Animal and Death Follows.
What Is by long odds the best hunt.
ing story Of the season comes from St.
Regis, and the section foreman, Nels
Thompson, who looks after the Snake
track at that place, is the hero. 1t is
probably the first case Of its kind on
record, and establishes an interesting
precedent In the killing of wild cats.
These varmints have heretofore been
considered fit victims for any means
OF determination, however unsports-
manlike 1t might be. They have been
shot, trapped, poisoned and drowned,
but Nels Thompson has introduced q
new method Of doing away with the cats
whose only drawback Is the fact that
it can never be generally introduced,
as the conditions under which 1t is
operative do not exist In every locality
where wildcats are found. To success.
fully carry out the Thompson method
It Is necessary to have cold day, a
deep stream and q railroad track run
ming close by 1t.
One morning recently as Thompson
and his gang Of sturdy Scandinavian
were pumping their handcar along the
track on the way to their work, which
that day was along the clay bluffs east
OF st. Regis, they were somewhat star
tied by the angry snarling Of wildcat
ahead Of them. They slowed up the
car as they rounded the bluff and q
strange sight greeted their eyes. The
morning was bitter cold and q fringe
Of ice bordered the banks of the st.
Regis River, which rushed along just
below the track. Broken ice and wet
trail up the bank showed that the cat
had just swan through the icy stream
and explained his present predicament.
For he certainly was in the gravest pre-
dicament in which ever wildcat found
himself. He was fastened firmly to
one Of the steel rails by one fore foot.
The supposition Is that the cat had
come through the river and leaped up
the track embankment. His last jump
brought one Of his wet forefeet upon
the rail and, according to the familiar
principle of physics. 1t froze to the
steel. There he was, held as fast as II
in the jaws of trap. The ground
showed that he had struggled to free
himself, but his efforts had been In
vain.
AS the handcar approached, the cal
swung around to face the intruders
and in doing so another foot struck the
rail and was held firmly. A few more
struggles, a strong brace to free the
captive feet and the two free pedal ex
tremities touched the rail. Snarling and
with flashing eyes, the captive creature
watched the section men alight from
the handcar, but he was incapable Of
resistance. A blow from a crowba1
cracked his skull and the victim Of colo
water was dead. 1t required stronI
pull to detach the frozen feet from the
rail, and when they did come patches
| of skin still adhered to the steel.-Ana
