Bright Girls Birthday,

lit is a great thing to be bright, isn't
1t, Nan?' said u girl on q car.
cit undoubtedly is, my dear. But what
called forth that sage remark?''
"Do you remember Florence Brown OF
Selma, Kan, who was in our class at col.
legof"
"Of course I do"
swell, you know that, although a very
pretty and attractive girl, sho is still un
married, and lately she wrote to one of
the girls that she was rapidly approaching
that horrid anniversary. her thirtieth
birthday, and that she intended to cele.
brate it by indulging in q 'lachrymal bel.
low all day. Her friend was much moved
with compassion for her lorn condition,
and wrote to 80 of her classmates that
Florence had written her to that effect,
and asked each one to send her q handker.
chief to assist her in the fearful operation.
So, owing to her quick wit, Florence's
thirtieth birthday, instead of being a time
of mourning, proved a most joyful occa.
sion, for she received 30 pretty handker-
chiefs, each 'inclosed in a loving epistle,
and it showed her that her friends loved
her II tho less for her 30 years.

THE INTELLIGENT SURGEON.
Brain Work That Was More Scrviceable

Tho big sturgeon ut the aquarium swim.
ming around and around in its pool had
picked up pretty nearly all the food in the
pool. 1t is fed on CLAIMS, which arc put
into the pool I'LL together in one place, and
the sturgeon picks them UP and cats them
US it wants them. On this day there was
one clam that lay in the angle formed by
the bottom of tho pool and the side wall.
The sturgeon couldn't tako that as it went
along, as it had done with the rest. But
on ono of its rounds it halted and swung
its big eight foot body out across the pool,
preparatory to getting that clam out of the
angle
The surgeons mouth is on the under.
side of its head. It is what is called n
protractilo mouth. 1t is telescope. When
not in use, it is about flush with tho sur
face of the undcrjaw. When in use, it is
thrown out something like q telescope
cup. The sturgeon has in its mouth q con.
siderable power Of suction. Although in
tho case of a sturgeon as big us this ono
the mouth is q number of inches back
from tho snout, it could probably draw
food to 1t from that distance, but in this
instance it preferred to do otherwise. It
might have pushed it out with the tip Of
Its snout, but 1t has bruised that once in
the pool, and it is very particular about it.
What it did do was this: With it's nose
pointed toward the clam it swung it's head
through the water from one side to the
other and thus set up q little curre..t that
started the clam out of the angle. One
moro swing brought it out within con.
yenicnt reach, and then tho big sturgeon
took up the, clam and started on.-New

A Royal Martyr to Etiquette.

In Spain tho etiquette to be observed in
the royal palaces was carried to such length
as to make martyrs of their kings. There
Is a historic instance. Philip III was
gravely seated by the fire. The 1remaker
of the court had kindlcd SO great a guam
tity of wood that the monarch was nearly
suffocated with heat, and his grandeur
would not suffer him to rise from the
chair. The domestics could not presume
to enter the apartment because it was
against the etiquette. At length the Mar
quis do Totat appeared, and tho king or
dered him to da-lp tho fires, but he ex-
cused himself, alleging that he was forbid
den by the etiquette to perform such a funo-
tion, for which the Due d'Usseda ought
to be called upon, as it was his business.
The duke was gone out. The fire burned
%flercer, and the king endured it rather than
derogate from his dignity. But his blood
was heated to such a degree that he was
seriously Ill the next day. A violent fever
succeeded which carried him off in the
twenty-fourth year of his age.-London

CAPTAIN JACKS RIFLE.
The National Museum Has the Weapon
With Which Candy Was Killed.

The National Museum Has the Weapon
With Which Candy Was Killed.
Ono of the most interesting relics which
has been presented to tho National museum
for u long time is the rifle which Captain
Jack, tho notorious Modoc Indian, used
in his fight in tho lava beds of southern
California, and it is thought to be the
identical weapon with which General
Candy was murdered while holding a pnr-
ley with the chief under q flag of truce.
The rifle was cached in tho lava beds
during the Modoc war, or just before the
capture of Captain Jack. It was brought
out by Moduc Joe in tho fall of 1896. and
presented to Charles Pitt, tho Indian in
terpreter Of Warm Springs, Or. BY him
it was given to NJ. c. Davis, special cx-
aminer Of the pension bureau, and sent BIZ
him here from Warm Springs.
The weapon is still III a fair state of
preservation, and is of rather unusual
form. 1t has two barrels so arranged that
they can r%cvolve, one being under the 9th.
or when ready to fire, one stock with tria~
ger and hammer doing work for the two.
The clamp apparatus has been broken, so
that the barrels rcvolve now and could not
be fired on this recount. Tho ball used
to fit tho barrel is of about half an ounce.
The barrels are heavily rifed, md the
weapon is evidently capable of doing great
execution. The barrels are unusually long,
and the whole must weigh 16 or IS pounds.
In the stock, now minus paint, rs il
gripped often by tho iron fingers of the
coffee colored desperate, is a cavity, over
which is a brass lid. In tho box thus
formed were kept the ''patches" and
grease, the former to make the bullets fit
closely in the barrel and tho grease to put
on them, SO they could slide easily down
the cavity. The rifle is q little rusty, but
not nearly as much so as might be expect
ed from it's long exposure.
Engraved on side of the barrel is
the name Of the maker, John Shulor of
Liverpool, Pa. The weapon is regarded
as an object of great curiosity. 1t has not
yet been placed on exhibition Washing

High Time for Prohibition.

The following snake story is different
from the usual order of these ~veracious
tales-it can be vouched fo1 by more
than a dozen residents of the immediate
vicinity of Pleasant Lake, Benson
county, where the scene is laid.
Recently G.. w. Mendenhall and
Frank Hannah, while removing straw
from an icehouse preparatory to again
filling it with ice, found on the bottom
Of the building beneath the ice a layer
of snakes nearly afoot in depth. The
snakes we're coiled together in a solid
mass, and on being disturbed began
squirming and Kissing in a truly fright
full amer. They emitted a nauseous
odor. The snakes were from a foot to
six feet in length, and large around in
proportion. The reptiles were animated
by being exposed to the air, and one Of
the large fellows with a quick move
ment coiled himself around Mr.. Ham
mans ankle. With a wild scream OF
20 my God?" Hannah leaped to the
door of the icehouse and ran down the
hill and could not be persuaded to
return for some time.
After the removal of the chaf there
was exposed to viewa mass of squirm-
ing, twisting reptiles. But the chilling
tair soon rendered them hors du combat
and their removal began. Measured in
q bushela basket there were twenty-three
basketfuls.
AS the snakes were removed from the
building they were piled beside the road
in a long windrow, where they were
viewed with astonisnment by the resi-
dents Of the place. Saturday the frozen
snakes were hauled ontson the prairie.
