Why He Cut the Wires.

The person who wrote that electricity
was one of the "mighty agents OF nature
enchanted by the ingenuity of man can
scarcely have contemplated In his widest
dreams the full extent of that ingenuity.
For instance he Is scarcely likely to have
prophesied that sick man, far from the
habitations of civilization, would have cut
a telegraph wire in order to obtain assist
ance. And yet such has really occurred,
according to London contemporary. The
whole of the vast continent OF Australia
was practically cut off from European
news for nearly "a hours in the middle OF
September, 1897, in consequence OF an In
terruption on the line between Adelaide
and Port Darwin. Inquiries were made,
and IL was found that the wire had been
cut by cyclist who was taken III while
on a journey across the continent. 1t Is
not related how he set about It, but ne had
the satisfaction at any rate OF getting
what he wanted. 1t Is not desired to estab'
lish this as precedent of summoning help
under inconvenient circumstances -Eleo'
trical Review.

rhroats and Electric Lights.

The difference in the condition OF the
throats of public speakers and singers
since the introduction of the electric light
ia most marked. They have less irritation
and less WEAKNESS during and after their
performances. This Is accounted for on
the theory that gas and other flames dried
out the atmosphere and consumed atmos-
pherical elements necessary to the best
condition of the organs In addition to
this, the temperature is more even, and
there is less danger from air currents.
Where any great number of gas jets are
used, the air at the ceiling of room has
the vitality totally burned out Of 1t and Is
heated to very high temperature. An
open door or window letting In fresh air
creates violent agitation in the air, some
times sets gusts Of air whirling through
the room, especially at the somewhat
raised portion where the performers are
situated. A specialist In throat troubles
thinks that what is known as singers sore
throat may become much less frequent
when electric lights are universally adopt

The Gargoyle.

1t is only recently that the word gargoyle
has found its way into our dictionaries.
Even technical glossaries of repute passed
it over few years ago. But now 1t is not
only included, but chosen for illustration,
in photographed works that are enliyened
with woodcuts.
We find our predecessors not only con-
triyed means to prevent the damp that
would have ensued If rainwater had not
been diverted from falling off their roofs
into the foundations of their buildings, but
so treated these discharging spout heads
from their cutters as to make them give
considerable ornamentation. The applica-
ton of the term gargoyle to these contriv-
ances is said to DO due to the dragonlike
character that was at first given to them,
coupled with the fact that there was par
ticular dragon known by that name that
kept the district around Rouen in trepida-
ton. Directly these fantastic spouts came
into use they were treated as works OF art,
in SO for as two were never made alike.
Those who have studied the subject aver
that many of them are fine works OF soulp-
ture, and they are often so adroitly placed
as to bring out the salient points of fab
rio and conduce to its pleasing elect.
They were employed from about the mid
die Of the thirteenth century and were
gradually improved In form and delicacy
of design and execution. At first they
were somew hat short and thick, but after
time were made longer, to project farther
and with more elegant details.

This is bad, but with the trolley and the

believe that the horse is the swiftest
animal in the world. One hears strange
tales of the speed of the antelope, the white

the jack rabbit and the wolf. The fastest
of these is the American antelope, and

Taking into consideration the fact that the
horse generally carries more than 100
pounds of rider, saddle and gun, one gets
an idea of how much superior he is. A
speedy pony will outrun a greyhound. I
have seen this tried. 1t is customary
among men who use them to give the dogs
all the law possible in order to avoid rid

of very good coursing hounds five years
ago it was found that there were five ponies

A CLOSE CALL.
Nip and Tuck Between the Miners and
the Mountain Lion.

NIP ana TUCK between the Miners and
the Mountain Lion.
A number of sportsmen were recently
talking over the good times they had had
duck shooting last fall when the CONVEX
sation turned on hunting big game In the
west. Some thrilling adventure was re-
lated by every one in the group but an eld-
erly man, and he In turn was asked for q
story.
II don't suppose" began the silent
man, THAT any of you young fellows ever
ran across a mountain lion, as they are
becoming rather scarce now in the west.
But early in the flfties, when first went
to Colorado to hunt for gold, these animals
were quite numerous. l recall ON one oo-
casion having a little adventure with
lion that almost scared me out of my wits.
With partner was working q claim In
the mountains near Ouray, and one day
before the very cold weather of the winter
set in we both went to town to get some
supplies, leaving our little cabin OH the
mountain side alone.
lit came on to snow so hard soon after
we arrived in Ouray that we did not get a
chance to return to our claim for three
days. On our return journey we noticed
as we were climbing the hills the tracks Of
mountain lion leading toward our cabin.
Presently, however, as we got nearer and
nearer to our little home we lost the track
of the animal, and the sight of an open
window, which had been carefully closed
on our departure for town, caused us to
forget all about the lion and its presence.
"Well, had reached the window and
was just about to put my head into the
apartment when there came terrible
growl and the next instant great yellow
body sprang through the opening right on
my back, its claws catching my buckskin
coat and ripping it open to my waist,
turning me completely over and into the
snow. My partner took the, dangerous
situation in at q glance and whipped out
! his gun. Then the internal lion turned on
him, making fearful leap in his direc'
ton. Before he could fire the Infatuated
beast was upon him, and, seizing him by
the slack of his coat, shook him as though
he were but rat. / was on my feet by
this time, and, drawing my revolver,
sneaked up and put bullet right through
his head. The animal groaned and fell
back dead and my partner drew his breath
freely once more. 1t was a close call, but
neither of us was hurt, and the lions Skin

the foot of my bunk. Washington Star

which can be obtained only by treaty
of peace with Spain in which she cedes
the islands to us. Otherwise we would
be selling disputed title, and the coun-
try that purchased it would have to
reckon with Spain. The law is the same
among nations in this respect as among
private persons. This law was observed
between France and Austria in 1859,
when Piedmont was turned over by
Austria to France and by France hand
ed over to King Victor Emmanuel. The
theory of modern times is that princi-
pality or province should not be turned
over to another nation without the con-
sent of it's people, and plebiscite is usu-
ally held, as in the case Of Nice and
Savoy.
"Once having secured title from
Spain, however, by treaty Of peace,
there could be no legal international
objection to our disposing of the islands
either by ceding or selling them to any
nation we chose or by offering them to
the highest bidder, but such proceed
ing would cause jealousy and bad feel
ing among the nations. But this is not
war of conquest, and do not think
the United States would resort to any
such practice. But we have Legitimate
claim against Spain for the expenses OF
the war, and Spain must pay the costs.
When that is done, the United States,
/ believe, will relinquish all claims to
the Philippine islands and return them
to Spain.
las to the effect of Dewey's victory,
think it amounts to half the war. The
Spanish feet in the Pacific is destroyed.
1t only remains to destroy the Cape
Verde fleet, and Spain Is fighting will be
at an end. She has no money, and, as
wise old king of France once said,
The king who has got the last gold
piece Is going to win.'
Money settles all these things, and
amost hopeful sign is that Spanish fours
went up Immediately after the destruc-
ton of the Manila feet, just as French
bonds went up after the battle OF Water
loo, although the emperor was crushed.
1t means that the people who deal IN
those bonds regard the war as practi'
cally over"

PHIL SHERlDAN'S FLASK.
A Funny Story About the Little Hero Of
winchester.

Captain Irving Nj. Bean of Milwaukee
tells the following story about General
Sheridan, which he says has never ap-
peared in print: When stationed in Chi
cago General Sheridan liked very much to
get away to North lake in Waukesha coun-
ty for fishing trip now and then and
passed many pleasant days on the lake.
On one visit the general went out early in
the morning in the boat, and after staying
out for several hours with no luck decided
to return. Rowing in, he handed near
field where farmer was blowing.
Sheridan stopped and watched the pillow
turning the furrow so even and straight,
the fresh earth rolling away from the steel
shoe like brown wave running on the
single. Leaning on the rail fence, he
waited until the farmer came up, and,
speaking to him, produced flask of anti
dote for snake bite and asked the farmer
to join him in nip.
The invitation was instantly accepted,
and the farmer took what might be de-
scribed by an expert as "three fingers. !"
Wiping his mouth, the agriculturist broke
the silence by asking, stranger, what
might your name beY"
"Phil Sheridan, was the reply
"Why, that's the same name as the
great general. "
Eyes" said General Sheridan modestly,
| "and, 10y the way, / am the general. ;"
| With this he started to move away.
The farmer was dazed for moment,
and then, gathering himself together, and
the liquor adding somewhat to his loquac-
/ ity, he cried: "Say, stranger, that liquor
of yours is almighty good, but l don
think as much of your stories. You Gen.
, eral Sheridan!" with scornful glance at
the little man in the rough fishing suit.
"Why, General Sheridan was man z feet
/ high. Stranger, / just think you are the
blankest liar i ever met"
! Sheridan walked off down the road
! bursting with laughter over the farmer g
description. He related the encounter to
/ his friends with great gusto, and 1t be-
came one of his favorite stories. New

IN WASHINGTON'S DAY.
Picturesque Costumes Worn at the First
Inaugural Ball.


Writing Of "With Washington In the
Minuet, Mrs. Burton Harrison gives an
interesting description Of the first inaugu-
raj ball in The Ladies' Home journal. In
telling of this memorable fete she gives
an interesting peep at the costumes worn
by the bellies and beaux of century ago.
"For hint of the costumes worm" she
writes, "we must Turkish up the impress
sions of Colonel Stone, who strange to
say appears to be the chief chronicler of
toilets whose data are handed down in
print: 'One favorite dress was plain oe
lestial blue satin gown with a white satin
petticoat. On the neck was worn very
largo Italian gauze handkerchief with
border stripes of satin. The headdress was
q puff of gauze in the form of globe, the
headpiece of which was composed of white
satin having double wing in large plaits
and trimmed with wreath of artificial
roses falling from the left at the top to the
right at the bottom in front, the reverse
behind. The hair was dressed all over in
detached curls, four of which, in two
ranks, fell on each side Of the neck and
were relieved behind by a floating Chi
gnon.
"In color Of attire the men Of those days
were not, as now, simply foil for the gay
tints of their womankind. A light blue
French coat with high collar, broad lapels
and large gilt buttons, double breasted
marseilles vest, nankeen colored cashmere

advanced Hereby to the attack, lust as thew
were accustomed TO do when thev were

Iound that fighting on land was very diff.
ierent from lighting at sea. In marina
oolnDat IL Is seldom that party of board
ers Is attacked in the rear by the enemy
but on land such methods of warfare
should always be expected. Now, Roc and
IributoT did not expect ANYTHING of the
Kind, and they were therefore greatly
uisihayed when party of horsemen from
the town, who had made wide detour
through the woods, suddenly charged upon
their rear Between the guns of the gar
flson and the sabers of the horsemen the
buccaneers had very hard time, and il
was not long before they were completely
defeated. Tributor and a great many of
the pirates were killed or taken, and Roc
the Brazilien had a terrible fall.
This most memorable fall occurred in
the estimation of John Esquemeling, who
knew all about the attack on Merida and
who wrote the account of 1t. But he had
never expected to be called upon to record
that his great hero, Roc the Brazilian,
saved his life after the utter defeat of him
self and his companions by ignominiously
running away. The loyal chronicler had
firm belief in the absolute inability OF
his hero to fly from danger, and Esque
melting could scarcely believe that Roc
had retreated from his enemies, deserted
his friends and turned his hack unon tn,
principles which he had always proclaimed
