THE MAN IN THE TRUNK.
A New Way the Thieves of Paris Have
Of Getting the Burglar
Into the House.

Two well-dressed men from Paris
town in the department of the Eure, re-
lates a Paris correspondent, and en-
gagged double-bedded room. They de-
posted a very heavy trunk in corner,
and then went out TO see the town, tell
ing the landlady, a widow, that they
would return at night. But night came
and the two men did not come back at
the time specified. The landlady wait
ed. much surprised, and kept her estab-
lishment open after the usual hour for
closing. This was soon observed by
the local gendarmes on duty, who en-
tered the hotel and reminded the pro-
prietess of the place that the curfew, or
its modern substitute. had tolled the
knell of parting day, and that it was
full time to extinguish lights in all inns
and cafes. The widow said she was
waiting for two men who had left big
trunk behind them. This caused the
gendarmes TO reflect q little. One of
them, well versed in criminal annals,
suddenly remembered the Gouffe case.
He also thought of the young stamp col
lecteor who was murdered in Paris a
few years since, and whose body was
thrust into trunk. Anxious to secure
all the credit of a discovery which might
lead to promotion and glory, the gem
darme learned in criminal lore asked
the widow to let him see the trunk, and
told his companion to wait for him at
the bar or buvette of the hotel. The
landlady accordingly led the man to
the room, and he began to gauge the
weight of the big box, when suddenly
the lid few up and out jumped wiry
little man, who brandished big revolv-
er in his right hand. The widow
screamed and the gendarme was tenn
porariiy thrown off his guard, but he
soon pulled himself together and grap-
pied with the person who had been act
ing jackin-the-box. The other gem
darme, hearing the landlady's shrieks
and the scuffiing overhead, was soon on
the scene of action and helped his col
league to manacle the mysterious per-
son who had jumped out of the trunk
and to take him to the lookup. There
the fellow refused 10 give his name or
to sag anything about his companions,
who are supposed TO have returned to
Paris, leaving him to plunder the inn
when the owner and her servants were
asleep.-St. Louis Republic.

A BuxzIc TO Scienfisfs.

Careful measurements by govern
ment engineers have revealed the fact
that 20, 900 second-feet of water are lost
from the Missouri river in its course
from one point in Montana TO another
some hundred miles or so down the
stream. This extraordinary leakage,
enough TO make very considerable
river of itself, has been somewhat of a
puzzle to scientists; but the recent sue
cess of Dakota farmers away to the
east and south of these points on the
Missouri in sinking artesan wells
shows where it has gone. As geologists
had declared that there would not be
any water in these Dakota lands and
the flow proves TO be remarkably abun-
dant. i; is believed that the farmers
have tapped the water which leaks from
the big hole in the Missouri river away
up in Montana.-Chieago Tribune.

A Buor.n Long Journey.

The inhabitants of the lonely isle of
st. Kilda were astonished not long ago
at the appearance of great blood-red,
conical object floating on the wild At
lantic billows 10 the westward of the
isle. With much difficulty the derelict
was brought TO shore. and, as the St.
Kildans had never before seen such a
queer-looking thing and could make no
guess as to its purpose or place in the
scale of created things, they INDUCED in
wild visions of its valuable nature. But.
when the factor came across on his
yearly visit from the neighboring but
distant island of Great Britain, he iden-
titled il as great iron buoy, which, it
subsequently appeared, had broken
away from its moorings in New York
harbor and drifted in the gulf stream
across the Atlantic. 1t had taken two
years in the passage.-Chicago Inter

BUN REMEMBERS THE SLANG.
Little One Greatly shocks Her Old
Maid Aunt with Her Lin
guistfc Powers.

Baby Bun was just learning TO talk,
and her sharp ears took in every syl-
liable in her presence. When nobody
paid any attention to her she might be
observed studying intently the face Of
a speaker, evidently trying to ascertain
what was said from the motion Of the
lips or the action of the person talking.
Then she would move her own pretty
pink mouth in imitation and many
were the queer sounds evolved in the
process
She was blessed with an army of un-
married uncles and aunts, all doting
and indulgent. There was the tall
maiden aunt, "Perfess." as her friends
knew her; johnnie" as her family
knew her. Though somewhat kitten
ish, she was, for the most part, ex-
ceedingly proper, and il was this sense
of propriety that Baby Bun one day
quite innocently and outrageously
shocked.
1t all came about through a combi-
nation of Buns ambition to chatter
and her juvenile uncle's proclivity to
use slang, to which same Aunt john
ME" was unalterably opposed. Every
day OF so this younger brother of Buns
mother would bring in some newphrase
of the street, and one day he startled
TIE dinner table, and Baby Bun in par
ticular, by commanding "Auntie John
ME- or somebody else to "come of the
perch"
To this unique bit of English Bun
paid assiduous attention, and her big
eyes rested admiringly upon her uncle
during the entire meal. 1t was evident
that she was training the batteries of
her tiny intellect upon TINT phrase
with a view to perpetrating II when
she had mastered Its intricacies- The
family duly called the young man TO
account for using the term In the child's
hearing, but as Bun made no immediate
attempt to use the expression it was
thought that she had probably for
gotten il or given il up in disgust.
Inordinately fond of chattering was
Bun, and on occasion could become
very impatient of interruption.
One day an old man named Skinner,
who did odd jobs for the family, came
over with the information that his wife
was dead. He asked to see Aunt John
ME-" whose advice and assistance he
desired in the conduct of the funeral.
She was up in the nursery with Baby
Bun, who insisted upon being taken
downstairs for the interview.
The old man was excessively slow
and circumstantial in his narrative, to
which the child listened attentively,
making occasional attempts to be
heard herself.
After he had spoken at great length
and had ignored Buns requests for the
floor several times, the enfante terrible
summoned oil her linguistic powers for
the onslaught. The old man was In
the midst of q lachrymose recital of
the virtues Of the departed, when Bun.
with more than usual gusto, command
ed her aunt's attention, and secured it.
Then, with look full into the old
mans face and a tone of complete dis
gust, she slowly uttered:
NJ of putch, Skin"
The slang she had heard at the table
had been lying fallow in her memory
and she was sharp enough to remember
how TO use 1t. The CONSERVATION OF
the aunt may be imsgined.-Chicago

YELLOWSTONE PARK.
A Place That Is Full of Exciting
Wonders and the Beauties
of Nature.

OF the four national parks of the
west, the Yellowstone is far the largest.
1t is a big. wholesome wilderness on the
broad summit of the Rocky mountains,
favored with abundance of rain and
snow; a place of fountains where the
greatest of the American rivers take
their rise. The central portion is a
densely forested and comparatively
level volcanic plateau with an average
elevation of about 5000 feet above the
sea, surrounded by an imposing host of
mountains. Unnumbered lakes shine
in it, united by a famous band of
streams that rush out of hot lava beds,
or fall from the frosty peaks in chan
nels rocky and bare, mossy and bosky,
TO the main rivers, singing cheerily on
through every difficulty, cunningly di-
viding and finding their way east and
west of the far-off seas.
And besides the treasures common to
most mountain regions that are wild
and blessed with a kind climate, the
park is full of exciting wonders. The
widest gcysers in the world, In bright
triumphant bands, are dancing and
singing in it amid thousands of boiling
springs, beautiful and awful, their
eassns arrayed in gorgeous colors like
gigantic flowers; and hot paintpots,
mud springs, mud volcanoes, mush and
broth caldrons of every color and con-
sistency, plashing, laving, roaring, in
bewildering abundance. In the adja-
cent mountains, beneath the living
trees the edges of petrified forests are
exposed 10 view like specimens on the
shelves of a museum, standing on
lodges tier above tier where they grew,
solemnly silent in rigid crystalline
beauty, after swaying in the winds
thousands of centuries ago, opening
marvellous views back into the years
and climates and life of the past. Here,
too, are hills of sparkling crystals, hills
of sulphur, hills of glass, hills of Gin
ders and ashes, mountains of every
style of architecture icy or frosted,
mountains covered with honey-bloom
sweet as Hymettus, mountains boiled
soft like potatoes and colored like sun
set sky-a' that a that, and twice as
muckle's a that, Nature has on show in
the Yellowstone park. Therefore il Is
called wonderland, and thousands of
tourists and travellers steam into it
every summer and wander about in it
enchanted.-John Muir, in Atlantic.

FEEDING INDIANS.
The System Is Productive of linz
providence Among the Ma
tion's Wards.

A missionary who has been living
among our Indians for some time in
South Dakota says that in the interest
of the red man himself the government
should discontinue its present system
of providing him with rations. The inn
portant thing, she finds, is to induce
feeling of responsibility among these
generous, improvident people and per-
suade them to work. So long as they
know that rations are coming they cam
not be made TO understand why they
should work. There is the food, it is
all they need; why, therefore, work for
it? Provision for the future is thing
they do not reckon in their economies,
and so long as they are certain of their
homes and meals they will not take
thought of the morrow. She says that
the Indians are advancing rapidly be-
cause of their contact with good class
Of white people, and that the men take
moderately to cattle raising and the
women to sewing. Drunkenness and
other disturbing vices are growing less.
The affection of parents for their chill
dren, she says, exceeds that shown by
civilized people. In brief, she regards
the Indians as hopeful customers, If
cnly they can be made to understand
their responsibility TO themselves. and
as the surest way to teach thrift and in
dustry the abolition of the government
ration Is recommended.
This sounds like good reasoning. and
the is+er history OF the red men shows
that it is good. So long as there was
game enough to supply the tribes with
food. there was no reason for issuing
rations; but game is fast disappearing
in the west, and even in the far Hudson
bay country-the slaughter of our birds
being but one phase of the ruthless and
universal destruction of all forms OF
life, not human, that IS now going on.
Near the settlements especially, no
game is to be seen, and the Indians de-
pend on white mems food. But why
should they not earn IL, as white men
do? They cannot expect forever to be
the charges of a people that is slowly
absorbing them. II will not be many
wears before il will be impossible TO set
cases like that of Onondaga, where the
Indians are farmers and till the soil as
their neighbors do. Tramps are made
by tolerance. and our Indians are kept
in n barbaric state by well meant, butin
some cases unwise charity. On the
plains where they have room il Is
proper TO let them alone; but'near the
communities they must be made to see
that their prosperity consists in imitat-
ing the whites, especially in their occa-
sional virtues. One day our Indians will
be voters and citizens. They are al
ready batter qualified to use the ballot
than some of the importations from
Europe that are dumped upon our
coasts. Money spent for books and
plows for these people is much better
spent than for flour and pork and rum.
