uve fc~~ about the girth, and with six
or seven gallons of oil in his queer
body.
Birch bark canoes are still used by
the Indians for this sport, and the way
they handle them in the wide, stormy
waters of the Bay of Fundy is revela-
ton as to the seaworthiness of those
wonderful little craft. Boys must be-
gin their training as porpoise hunters
when they are 10 or 10 years old, going
out with an older man in good wealth
or first. The Indians generally go two
together, for, while shooting the por-
poise can be done easily by one in
smooth water, it is not the shooting, but
the landing of him that is the ticklish
business. After he is shot he is speared
to finish him, and then the Indian runs
two fingers in the blow-hole, takes hold
of his fin with the other hand, lifts the
great fellow until at least half his
length is above the canoes gunwale,
and then drags him aboard. Imagine
doing that in birch bark canoe on a
rough wintersea. Yeti man alonein his
CdhoC SuCl NOliblblOho VIZ oAsNh
accomplish the feat, and not so rarely
he will fail, and lose his life to boot.
The usual thing is for two to work to-
gether, and then accidents are COM
paratively rare. A man has to stand up
to shoot, if the water is rough. OF
course he could not see his game if he
didn't. One of those Indians can stand
and shoot, and at the same time adapt
every movement to the swaying of his
boat, keeping her on an even keel with
a success that is simply miraculous.
There are many sharks in these wa
tiers, and there are perfectly authenti-
Gated stories of sharks cutting por-
poises in two just as the Indians were
hauling them aboard, but they don't
seem to mind the sharks at all, driving
them off with their long spears when
they are too encroaching, with perfect
GOODNESS.

Treasure Hunt in Texas.

Eighty thousand dollars in gold and
silver bullion is the sum which a band
of fortune hui.-ers in Texas are looking
for; or, at least, they think they are
looking for it. The story which started
them on their search is that some years
ago q wagonload of the precious metals
was thrown into deep spring near
Garlic. Tex, to prevent its falling into
the hands of brigands. Only one man
who was aware of the hiding place sur
vived the fight with the robbers, and
the present searching party was organ
lied by him.

FIGHT WITH A JAGUAR.
American Travellers Experience in
Central America
savage Beast Attacks n Native Boy
Who Was Armed Only with
Machete-Hnppy End of
the Struggle.

when you get away from the towns
and more thickly settled parts of Cen
trail America into the forest clearings
YOU will find that the native houses
are built upon posts well above the
ground. This is in part to protect the
jewellers from dampness in the rainy
season and to keep out reptiles, but the
principal reason for putting the houses
upon posts is for the safety of the resi-
dents against tigers, the name by which
jaguars are generally called in Central
and South America"
James Sharpley, now of New York,
was the speaker, and he was telling
New York Sun reporter some of his ex-
periences in Central America, where he
had Travelled as agent of a rubber-buy-
ing firm. ..
Those who think lightly of the cour-
age of the people in these southern
regions might reconsider their opinion
if they had seen the performance of a
hoy who acted as attendant, guide and
porter for me during a three weeks
trip among the rubber gatherers Of
Costa Rica, He was of mixed Indian
and negro blood, an active, intelligent,
good-tempered young fellow, without a
trace of school education, but perfectly
at home and master of the situation in
the tropical forest. One night we were
stopping at little settlement called
Las Contreras. l was a guest at the
house of the head man, who had as
signed me his best chamber. My boy
Jose-Jose Maxine was his full name

posts of the veranda directly in front
of my door, which opened upon the

How Sugar Is Made white.

The way in which sugar is made per-
fectly white, it is said, was found out
in a curious way. A hen that had gone
through a clay mud puddle went with
her muddy feet into a sugar house. 1t
was observed by some one thatwherever
the tracks were the sugar was whitened.
This led to some experiments. The re-
suit was that wet clay came to be used
in refining sugar. 1t is used in this
way: The sugar is put into wooden
jars shaped as you see the sugar loaves
are. The larger ends are upward. The
smaller ends have hole in them. The
jar is filed with sugar, the clay put over
the top and kept wet. The moisture
goes down through the sugar and drops
from the hole in the small end of the
jar. This makes the sugar perfectly
white.

Don is a fine collie owned by Charles
Anchor, of Bristol. Don was struck by
an express train at the Mill street cross
ing the other day and was thrown fully
so feet, coming down with broken leg.
Policeman Wilkinson, who was on the
scene, attempted to put the animal out
of his misery. He fired two shots at the
dog, but Don evidently leads charmed
life, for he hobbled home on three legs.
Mr.. Anchor called in the services of a
veterinary surgeon, and the dogs
leg was set in splints, and he will be all
right again in a short time. Don's most
thrilling experience, however, occurred
couple of years ago, when a travelling

influenza RociIII Die Hard.

DIR. Lindenthal, in Klinische Wochen-
schrift, states that meteorological in
vestigations show that the sputum of
persons who have suffered from in
fiuenza, especially those who are also
the subject of pneumonia, has some,
times been found to contain influenza
bacilli several months after the clinical
symptoms of the disease had disap,
peared. Such persons may infect sus'
ceptible individuals and the case be con
sidered as spontaneous. In eight cases
of influenza associated with pneumonia
examinations showed that the broncht
were affected. No bacilli were found in
the blood.

whine on occasion. and had a value to
us as a watch dog. This dog, seeking,
perhaps, the companionship of its kind,
had wandered from the house. My
host was in the act of telling me that,
while there undeniably were tigers in
the forest, they never ventured near
Las Contreras, when Jose, missing his
dog, called it. From the shadow of a
hut near the edge of the forest the dog
came trotting toward it's master. There
was a clear space about 60 yards in
width for it to cross, and was lazily
watching the dogs moving, tawny
form, of tint not easy to distinguish,
even in the bright moonlight, against
the yellowish green of the low tropical
plants. 1t had got half way across the
opening when from the deep forest
shadow came bounding toward it, pre-.
cisely as rubber ball bounds along on

ne nau wrapped MS grass-woven

ground when the jaguar sprang upon
the dog, which had started to run. but
was overtaken in jitfy. The weight of
the jaguar crushed the dog to the earth;
there was one yell. shut off half way as
the jaguar's teeth found it's throat;
there was q brief struggle, then the
iaguar seized the dog midway of it's
back, lifting it as lightly as cat would
lift rat, and turned back toward the
forest just as Jose came up. He was not
in time to strike the jaguar blow, but
he threw his machete at it, wounding
the beast in its headquarters. Instantly
the jaguar turned, dropped the dog, and
leaped upon Jose, who was rushing for
ward to get hold of his weapon, which
had fallen to the ground. The shock
nearly threw him down, but he kept his
feet, and, protecting his face and throat
with the blanket wrapped round his left
arm, he staggered toward the place
where the machete was lying, the jaguar
clinging to him with its claws as he
went.

sprang to his feet. l did not dare fire
again, as he was in my direct line of
aim, but he was equal now to dealing
with the beast alone. With blow of

PORPOlSE HUNTING.
Dangerous Sport Followed by the
PassamaquOddy Indians.

In the northern part of Maine and in
Nova Scotia there are still many
Indians of the PassaInaquoddy tribe,
and these Indians follow pursuit that
is almost unknown to the outside world.
They shoot porpoises. Everybody IA
miGar with the sea has watched these
queer creatures. They are less shy
about showing themselves than any
other inhabitant of the ocean; but to
see them tumbling over themselves in
their odd regular way is all the world
in general ever has to do with them;
the Passamaquoddy Indians, however,
not only shoot them, but make their liv-
ing mainly out of porpoise, and living
well earned it is, too, for there is no
occupation in the world that calls for
more bravery, skill and endurance.
The money is obtained by SELL
ing the oil, and pure porpoise
oil brings the Indians about 90
cents a gallon; the oil obtained
from the paws sells higher; it is tried
out by itself because of its superiority,
and is valued by watchmakers and
others, who want an oil of very fine
lubricating quality. The Indians eat
the porpoise fesh-it is very much like
fresh pork and many white fishermen
around the coast like it well enough to
give the Indians fresh fish in exchange
for it.
There are no game laws to protect
porpoise, and the ESlnting goes on the
year around, though the blubber is
something like two inches thick irwin
ter, against one and half in summer;
but then the danger and suffering to
the Indian, not the fish, are far greater
in cold weather.
Make a guess as to how long big
porpoise is. He does not look, wher
seen from shore or from a steamers

MEN who go to the penitentiary may
not expect to lie on downy beds of
ease, battle in rose water and enjoy all
the delicacies of the season, but they
should hardly be subjected to the tor
lures of the Spanish inquisition, as it
seems that some of the convicts in the
Kentucky penitcntiary undergo. The
investigation now being made shows a
revolving amount of cruelty by Ward
en- Hancock and his assistants, but as
the testimony is by the convicts them
selves, much allowance must be made.
Perhaps, however. it is well enough
for people who contemplate commit
ting crime to think the penitentiary is
a hell upon earth. 1t may deter them
from the commission and reduce the
number of those who are such a tax
upon the State.

sons, Joplin, Mo-; Leslie, Len and

sons never joined any church until
about two weeks ago, when he was bap-
tiled by Rev. w. S. Grinstead into the
Methodist church. He had read the
Bible through many times, his wife
says, and he loved to search for truths
within its lids. He was ready and
willing TO go hence, he told his faith
full, loving wife, who through the long
years of tireless watching by his bed
side practically proved the depths of
woman's love. He told her Saturday
afternoon that he was dying, that he
knew she would miss him, that he
hated to leave her SO lonely, and at
the hour mentioned above, as she with
some of their children and neighbors
stood around his bed, the spirit fed.
His remains will be inferred in Buff

JUDGES and juries seem to vie with
each other in playing into the hands OF
the cowardly turnpike raiders. In
Woodford county under condemnation
proceedings a jury returned verdict
that the 81 miles under consideration
were only worth 81. Such verdicts are
in conformity with the demand of a GER
tain class, are a libel on Justice and
amount to little less than confiscation
of private property without the safe
guards of the law.
