LOVERS OF S 'ITZERLAND.
An Odd Social Feature of Some Of the
Alpine Villages.

Swiss maidens have wide and deep
courtship license; but in many Of the
cantons they are allowed but a mar
row choice Of bridegrooms, it being
a vigorously enforced, if unwritten,
law that they must marry youth of
their own neighborhood. In many
villages every manageable youth be-
longs to a society whose sole object
is to prevent any and every youth
from outside from coming accounting
the maidens of the society's village.
The society has a password, fire.
quently changed-almost never di-
vulged. A lover of the village, if chal-
lenged, gives the password, and it Is
an "open sesame" through the on
guard ranks Of the protective society.
He may climb and WOO uninter-
rupted, andisturbed. But the lover
from afar must fight his way past the
challenging sentinels or use the
shrewdest and most successful stealth.

CONDUCTORS LITTLE MIsTAki
Ground Cloves Not a Good Substitute fot
Coffee.

C0nee.
A conductor got up early the other
morning and got his own breakfast
He is not used to this, as his wife, who
had the grippe on this occasion, is
used to getting breakfast ready. He
is fond of strong coffee for his early
meal, and filling the pot with water,
heaped in four tablespoonfuls of what
he took to be coffee.
After all was done, the. coffee pot
,steaming, and hash well Drowned, he
sat by his own self to break his fast.
The coffee did not seem very hot, so he
drank off half the cup in three or four
swallows. Then the roof started. He
yelled like a maniac. His trembling
little wife ran out to S, her husband
dancing about on one foot and
screeching like maniac.
He ran to the water pipe and drank
off two quarts of cold water like as
much milk, and then quoted down
enough to ask: "What in thunder's
the matter with the coffee?" She
smelled of it, and said: "Well, dear,
you mistook the ground cloves for the
coffee, that'sall." Lewiston Journal.

QUEER ENGLISH PETS.
Weird Creatures from Prairie and Jungle
That Have Been Tanned.

That Have Been Tanned.
In the ordinary course Of thing'
wolves are not regarded as desirable
household pets; but in the neigh Dor
hood of Regents park, appropriately
enough, there is one often to be seer
taking its walks abroad, securely muz.
zled, and in the charge of either a lady
or a gentleman.
A Daily Mail representative called
the attention of Mr.. Albert E. JAM
rach, the naturalist, Of st. George
street, E., to the fact, and asked him
whether keeping wild animals as pets
was coming at all into vogue. Hisre-
ply was that while wolves were not
popular pets among ladies, there were
some very weird creatures from the
desert, or the prairie, or the jungle
that nowadays found their way into
a household
Several instances were given. As q
rule, he said, ladies prefer small ami
mails as pets. A very popular pet is
the coatimundi, which is sometimes
known as an ant-eater. Its homeisin
South America, and it very quickly
becomes tame. 1t is about the size
of badger, and can be safely kept in
the house, or it can be allowed to frol-
ic about in the garden if there are not
any flowers in the way.
The suricate, which comes from
South America, very readily submits
to a quiet domestic life. The late
Frank auckland always kept two
specimens in his room, The suricate
is a carnivorous animal, about as large
as ferret, and is great favorite with
Zulas and Kaffirs, who almost wor-
ship it.
Lately there has been a great de-
mand for the mongoose, curious lit
tie animal which is introduced in one
of Rudyard Kiphng's famous jungle
tales. The mongoose, which no doubt
owes its popularity to Kipling, has
rather a fiery spirit, and is useful as
a rat-catcher, but it can be remark
ably tame, and then it finds warm
place in the hearts of lady admirers.
Up to few years ago the kinka-
iou, a native of South America, had
prominent place in English homes,
but it ran away before the advance Of
the railway engine, and is now run
ming wild in inaccessible parts of the
great southern continent. Formerly
the kinkajou, which has a very pre-
hensile tail, was seen in many houses,
but it is now rarely seen. There is one
in the zoologicl gardens, and the keep
er proudly points it out to ladies, who
at once fall in love with it. Among
animals other than dogs which ladies
keep as pets are large squirrels, Aus
tralian opossums and kangaroos.
Birds as pets have gone almost out
of fashion, and there is now scarcely
any demand for them. In the old
days, well-Stocked aviaries were to be
seen in nearly every lady's house, but
the poor birds have been forsaken
since the advent of bicycles, and they
are scarcely ever inquired for Low.
At the present time the most pop
ular bird is the orange-fanked para
keet, which is delightfully."- tame, one
of its principal recommendations be-
ing that it willingly takes its food
while perched on lady's finger

POISON IN CLOTHES.
Death Has Resulted from the Zinc Chlor-
ide in Overcoats.


Many cases of poisoning have been
reported in England, the trouble be-
ing caused by the presence Of zinc
chloride in the cloth overcoats Of the
victims. The poison was absorbed on
wet days, and caused pain of severe
description.
One hesitates somewhat to refer to
this new trouble, for it has sometimes
seemed as though the number Of
things to be afraid of multiply daily.
The agitation of some minds over pos
sble microbes is not easily described
Milk is regarded with suspicion,
water without label is Stunned,
pins are scrubbed, and money disin-
fected. No one has thought before Of
looking after uncut cloth. One com.
fort arises from the contemplation Of
this new source Of danger. The man.
ufacturer, threatened with ruin, will
find some way Of substituting another
chemical for the one which has
proved itself so dangerous, He did
this with red dyes of flannels, which
poison so many. And he found some
other way of making green wall paper
than by using arsenic in his colors.
He has made black stockings possible
for the poorest and for the most fas-
tidious Of us, and he is not likely to be
a delinquent in discovering another
remedy with which to meet the pres
ent case.-Harper's Bazaar.

BRYAN ATTENDS
THE CONFERENCE.
Talk Of Radical Differences
With Silver Men
HAD BUT LITTLE FOUNDATION
Bryan Holds Proxy and Intimates That
He Will Take Part In Some of the
Discussions at the
Session.

Special to the News-Democrat.
Chicago July 20.-The most import
ant talk before the Democratic national
committee meeting today was that Of a
bolt OF the radical silver men, but it
was all talk. The executive committees
OF the American Bimetallic union and
the Ohio Bimetallic clubs held execu-
tive sessions this morning to discuss a
new national silver party. Chairmen
Warner and Tarvin will go to the
Democratic committee meeting with
an effort to support and cooperate
with the Democratic organization.
Should an audience be refused them
which to the bimetallic men will be the
same as notice that silver must take
back seat, the silver organization, it
Is said, will at once declare war. But
they will probably get an audience.
What Bryan will do If the new party is
born can only be conjectured. The
Simon Pure silverites say he will join
with them. The silver people seem to
fear treachery on the part OF
Ex-Governor stone, WnOj In a
large measure, dominates the Demo-
cratic organization. Stone denies that
he Is not as good a silver man as he
was in 1896, The prediction that the
silver men will be forced to flock by
themselves is considered by some, who
claim to be wise, as a significant move
ment to go back into the old lines. Col.
Bryan arrived this morning with the
proxy Of D. J. Campau, the Michigan
committeeman. Bryan indicated that
he would have considerable to say dur
ing the session. Immediately after his
arrival, O. H. P. Belmont called upon
him and the two were in conference for
some time. 1t is believed by some
since his arrival that the committee
meeting will result in a complete union
of all forces on prominent issues that
have lately arisen.

on this point. l held that the war

his policy was that of conciliation. Not
