HER CHAIN OF PENNIES.
An Iowa School Teachers Meth cd

An Iowa School Teachers Method to
Gain a College Education.
Rosa Leech, a bright young school teach
er, OF Abba, Iowa, with father to support
and only her wits for a fortune, longed for
a college education. She had read of the
''chain" which nearly smothered an In
diana girl with postage stamps, and she
started a ''2hafn" of pennies.
The coins came in slowly at first, but
presently the newspapers took her up, and
then the money began to pour In upon her
in sums from one penny to SIS bills. Two
magazines iave contracted with her for ar
ticles and she has had proposals of mar
riage from men of all ages in almost every
State In the Union.

assured of her college education, and IL she
desires to do SO she can go abro ad for it, or
ff she prefers she can have the choice from
among hundreds of men for a husband.

Cats for Rabbits.

Cats have served heretofore as a sub
stitute for rabbits. No particular COM
plant was made in Paris against the
substitution until recently. For some
reason there has arisen a great out
cry against the slaughter of marketable
cats, and French ingenuity has been
taxed to supply the deficiency. This
is found in particular breed of Afri-
can monkey, and these animals are
being imported into France in large
numbers to furnish the basis for rable
de llevre-broiled backs of rabbits.
The African monkeys lend themselves
very readily to the disguise, as their
backs are very fat and fleshy. Rab-
DTS, under any culinary treatment, are
food. They are mainly valuable as
strengtheners of sauce and SOUP
stocks. For this purpose they are SUI
perior almost to any other sort of game.

STIMULATING organs situated like little
drums on the openings of the air tubes;
for the adult mosquito breathes no
longer by one or two air entrances on
the tail or back, like the larva, but by
a number Of spiracles, as they are
called, arranged in rows along the
sides of the body and communicating
with the network of internal air cham
berS.
The curious mosquito music thus
generated by the little drums serves al
most beyond doubt as a means Of at
tracing male mosquitoes, for it is
known that the long hairs on the an
tennae of the males vibrate sympathet-
ically in unison with the notes Of a
tuning-fork, within the range of the
sounds emitted by the female. In 9TH
err words, hair and drums just answer
to one another. We may, therefore,
reasonably conclude that the female
sings in order to please and attract her
wandering mate, and that the anten-
nae Of the male are organs of hearing
which catch and respond to the buzz

The fourth annual statement of the
production and consumption OF coal,
issued by the British Board Of Trade,
and covering the year 1896, shows an
output as follows: United Kingdom,
49,, 1851 900 tons: United States, 49,
OOO, 900 tons; Germany, 85,690,OO0 tons;
France, %, 10000 tons; and Belgium,
q, $4,000 tons. The excess amount
of coal exported from the United King
dom was "A, 1851, 900 tons; Germany,
6, 122, 600 tons; Belgium, 4,O1S,00O tons;
United States, 2,337,oOo tons; Japan
1885,, l,SO5,0OO tons; New South
Wales, 2,474,OO tons; and Natal, co.
900 tons. The countries which import
coal i'm excess of the amount of their
exports are Russia, Sweden, France,
Spain, Italy, and Austria Hungary,
and the British possessions which do
so are Canada, Victoria, Tasmania,
New Zealand, Cape Colony, and India.
The report states that the consumption
of coal per head of population is found
jim the highest proportion in those coun-
tries where steam traction and machin-
cry worked by steam are mostly in
use, such as the United Kingdom, the
United States, and Belgium; and the
lowest in those countries where ma
chinery is but little used, such as Rus

THE MOSQUITOES SONG.

A Madriga1, Not a War Cry-How to
Catch the Singer.
You can best observe the mosquito
in action by letting one settle undis-
turbed on the back Of your hand, and
waiting while she fills herself with
your blood; you can easily watch her
doing so with pocket lens. Like the
old lady in "Pickwick," she is soon
Swelling wisibly." She gorges herself
with blood, indeed, which she straight
way digests, assimilates, and converts
into 800 eggs. But if, while she is
sucking, you gently and unobtrusively
tighten the skin of your hand by
clenching your fist hard, you will find
that she cannot any longer withdraw
her mandibles; they are caught fast in
your flesh by their own harpoon-like
teeth, and there she must stop accord
ingly till you choose to release her. If
you then kill her in the usual manner,
by smart slap of the hand, you will
see that she is literally full of blood.
having sucked good drop Of it.
The humming sound itself by which
the mosquito announces her approach
ing visit is produced in two distinct
manners. The deeper notes which go
to make up her droning song are due
to the rapid vibration of the female in
sect's wings as she flies; and these vi
brations are found by means of siren
tan instrument which measures the
frequency of the waves in notes. to
amount to about 5000 in Il minute.
The mosquitoes wings must therefore
move with this extraordinary rapidity,
which sufficiently accounts for the diff
ficulty We have in catching one. But
the higher and shriller notes of the
complex melody are due to special

The prisoner was not shown to be in
sane in the ordinary acceptation of the
term; in fact, there was ample evil
dence that he was not insane. At the
same time there was evidence of re-
tarded mental development such as suf'
feed to justify a doubt as to the pris-
oner's legal accountability; and the
jury, which had noted his demeanor
throughout the trial, doubtless made
the best possible disposition of the case
by agreeing ON a verdict which tenn
pered justice with mercy, and which
will serve to safeguard society for a
term of years from further acts of alb
normality on the part of the prisoner.

SHERMAN IN RETIREMENT.
How the Famous Old Statesman Is
Spending His Declining Days.

man sits at the library window in his
handsome white stone house, in X

people as they pass along the street
or gazes abstractedly at the beautiful
park across the way, says correspon-
dent. He holds a cigar in his hand,
but he seems to smoke little. He sits
there quietly till the man comes in to
turn on the lights. Then he gets up
and seats himself by the table covered
with the papers Of the day and his ia
vorite books, or goes upstairs to join
his family in the sitting-roOm. This Is
John Sherman, the statesman who has
been a conspicuous figure in the af-
fairs of the nation for more than two
score years, and is now entering upon

The severe examination Of body to
which the volunteer soldiers are being
subjected has brought to light the seri-
Gus impairment of health which has
been wrought by the deadly cigarette.
A dispatch from Washington says that
the large number of reflections of vol
unteerS has caused much comment in
the army medical corps. However, the
physicians who have conducted the ex-
aminations say that outside the ranks
of cigarette smokers there are even
fewer reflections than there were in the
days of the civil war. Among habitual
users of cigarettes the reflections are
about so per cent. DR.. Benjamin King
of Philadelphia, who acted as an exam
lining surgeon during 1S61-'63 in New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana,
says that the average reflections during
those years did not exceed Is per cent.
He attributes the large increase almost
entirely to the cigarette habit. II have
been inspecting the papers in number
of cases under the present recruiting
act" said DR.. King, land observe that
most of the men who failed to pass the
medical examination have weak hearts
or lack the vitality necessary to make
good soldiers. had expected that the
percentage of reflections would be
greater now than in 1861, but did not
dream that it would be almost three
times as great The examining physi-
clans with whom I have talked have
generally told me that the excess of re-
jectiens is due to the large number Of
young men applying for enlistment
who have become victims of the cigar
cite habit" 1t requires peculiar quail
ity of craftsmanship to comprehend
why government tolerates a traffic or
an industry which, according to gov
eminent officials themselves, destroys
the strength of the country's youth and
makes their arms incapable of defend
ing their country's flag. The cigarette
is more than a nuisance. 1t Is a ma
tional menace.

KAISER LIKED THE COCKTAIL.

Fighting Bob Evans Introduced Him
to the Great American Drink.
This is the story of how the German
Emperor was introduced to the Amer
lean cocktail The event occurred at
Kiel Jan. 10, 1895, when the Kiel canal
was opened under the auspices Of the
German government. There were pres
ent naval representatives from all the
great countries Of the world, and
more magnificent array of battleships
had never before been witnessed.
"Fighting Bob tells the story himself.
After the maneuvers were concluded
Emperor William visited the various
ships and in turn came upon the Amer
lean fighting machine commanded by
Can't. Evans. Formal salutations were
passed and the Emperor was invited
by "Fighting Bob to take an Ameri-
can meal at the officers table. With
some evidence of delight, William ac-
cepted the invitation, and at the usual
hour the host and his imperial guest
sat down with the other officers, and
the service began.
The first luxury that appeared was
an American cocktail, which the En-
peror shifted and tossed off with JOY in
his eyes.
Superb" he exclaimed, nodding his
| approval at Fighting Bob" "a koch
tael,' you say? Delicious! Humph"
The dinner proceeded.

ly exclaimed in the midst of the meal,

A proposition that / have no doubt

"Your majesty" responded "Fight-
ing Bob," what is your pleasure? We
listen with respect"
Il propose" resumed William, CIV
| ing his mustache a nervous upward
movement, that we try another Amer
lean cocktail before proceeding further
with this delightful repast."
Impossible, SIR" politely replied
Capt. Evans. American etiquette per-
mits only one at dinner. A thousand
| pardons, but I must stick to the Gus
| toms. Your health, in wine.''
Later in the evening Capt. Evans
permitted his guest to revert once
again to the enticing American cock
tail, and it was in the small hours
when the Emperor of all the Germans
boarded his private launch and return
ed to the imperial yacht.
The next day, at daybreak, Capt.
| Evans orderly Informed the Fighting

Emperor Williams private launch was
| alongside, and that the Emperor sent

hastily, and, stepping upon the bridge,
lifted his cap and made low salaam.

shape, none the worse for his frequent
Investigations of the great American

Captain" spoke the Emperor, max
ing megaphone out of his hands,
"you Americans start with greater ra-
pidity, but l think we Germans finish
better than You do"
Whereupon his majesty came on
board again, and more American cock
tails were decidedly upon Fighting

heard from her grandfather, who was
"a soldier in the English army which
captured Quebec in 1859. The hostile
armies We're drawn up in battle order
on the Plains of Abraham, before the
city. In the open space between them,
and in full view of both ranks, the op-
posing generals, Wolfe and Montcalm,
rode toward each other, saluted by
raising their hats, drew alongside, and
silently clasped hands like friends and
tffaSrGthers; then wheeled, rode back to
the head of their respective forces and
gave orders to open fire. A few hours
later, both lay mortally wounded.
These men were loyal to their SOW
ereigns and acting under orders. They
followed the military profession as gal
liant and chiyalrous gentlemen. To-
ward each other they were incapable
of ill-will, and at heart they were not
enemies but comrades. 1t may seem
almost shocking to add that in creed
and profession both were Christians.
Are not international courtesy and
magnanimity possible, even in time Of
war? So long as nations, for any rea-
son or for lack of reason, will still re-
sort to arms for the settlement of dis
putes, may not the dreadful duel go on
without setting on fire the ugly pas
sions of hatred, cruelty and revenge?
If fight we must, let us fight only for
justice, freedom, human welfare and
lasting peace. With these motives
dominant, though we strike at human
forms, we shall aim our blows only at
real wrongs; we shall pity those whom
we slay, and shall regret the injuries
we are obliged to inf1ict as we'll as
those we are obliged to suffer.

marked by firm step forward, rather

forward, and the chest is thrown Wen
