wild Rush of Diamond Miners.

A wild rush of excited miners is reported at
Nullagine, Western Australia, where dia-
monds have been discovered in large guam
titles, and it is feared that many will lose
their lives in the mad struggle for riches In
many other men to break down in health
and strength. Nervousness, sleeplessness,
loss of flesh and appetite and general debility
are the common symptoms. Hostetter's Stoui-
ach Bitters will cure them all.

A remarkable story comes from the
south to the effect that Mississippi
planter by the name of Mangum has
been experimenting with monkeys as
cotton pickers, and that during the en-
tire fall Of last year he had ten mon
keys working in his fields. 1t is said
they were taught to perform the work
Of picking cotton by New York ami
NAL trainer, and that the same man is
now training 12O monkeys for Mr.
Mangum. Monkeys may yet prove OF
some use outside the menagerie and
hand organ business, but we have no
proofs concerning the cotton pickers.

TIE WILDS or PARAGUAY.
Frank Carpenter in the Bockwoods of Central South
Americo-Whot lie Saw

Large parts of Paraguay are natural
pastures, with here and there clumps
Of woods or forests scattered through
them. It is only the hills that are
covered with trees. The most of the
other lands have q rich growth of
grass. Nearly all of the land along
the railroads is taken up. It is held
In large tracts, many of the farms be-
Ing fenced with barbed wires.
The average country house has no
floors except the earth. Nine-tenths
Of the houses you see outside the city
are hunts of poles, which are woven to-
gether and tied with withes or strings.
They have roofs of thatch, which ex-
tend out at one side or end, forming
an open shed or room. Often the shed
is larger than the closed part, for the
latter is little more than a sleeping
place for the family. Many such
houses have orange trees about them
and palm trees waving over them. AS

you pass them you see that some have
red walls and some have walls OF
brown or white. At first you think the
red ones are painted, but soon see
that the soil with which they are
chinked is red. This is the color OF
the best land in Paraguay. The con-
trast of this rich red and the soft vel
vet gray Of the thatch is harmonious
and the houses are exceedingly pic
turesque. They are much like the
country houses of Japan in this re-
spect.
The larger farmhouses sometimes
have two rooms with thatched roof
connecting them and an open space IN
the center. Such a one is that on the
big farm of DR.. Charles Chase, a Bos-
ton man, who keeps drug store in the
town of Villa RIGA as means OF max
ing money and follows photography as
an amusement.
The Paraguayans are very hosp1ta-
BILE. You can call at any hut in the
country and you will be made perfect
ly at home. You may see lot of
who are considerably older than ba-
bies, for in the back districts boys and
girls up to the age of fourteen often
&C naked.
If you can speak the Guarani Ian
guage-the Indian tongue which is in
common use among the lower classes
you will find the people quite intel
ligent, though exceedingly simple and
ignorant of your world. You will be
given cigar to smoke and will be
asked to take part in the pucilero or
boiled beef and vegetables which con-
stitute the usual meal. Your food will
be cooked out of doors, and the wom-
en- may pound the corn to powder in
wooden mortar before they cook it
for you. When you first enter the
hut you will probably be offered a
glass of brandy called cana. Every
one drinks and every village has it's
brandy distillery. Indeed, it is esti-
mated that every man, woman and
child in Paraguay could drink two gal
Ions Of cana each year and not ex-
haust the supply.
In visit of this kind you will learn
that the people are contented with
their lot. Most of the men are phil
osophers, who regard foreigners as
fools because they wear their lives out
working for money.

this is popularity attributed to the

A medical friend of the writer's late

has two horses, and has been in the
habit of turning one out for the sum-

again for the winter it used invariably
to develop severe cold. Coachmen

Authors Love Cats.

New York Tribune: A large proper
ton of the modern French authors
have been fond of cats. Pierre Lott is
among them, and so is NJ. Coppee. The
pet of the latter is a young Angcra
that sits mctionless on his desk when
he writes. Were he to go on writing
for hours, there it would stay. 1t walks
among his scattered sheets of manu-
script, never disturbing them, and does
not set it's paws down on writing that
is not dry. Mr.. Swinburne, it is assert
ed, is one of the few English authors
who prefer cats to dogs; in fact, it is
reported that he 'adores' the feline
creatures.

Gallatin. (Tenn) correspondence
Nashville Banner: The pddest pet
ever heard of probably may be found
at Gallatin. It is a wildcat, owned by
Charles Mitchell, clerk for John Fry.
The animal was captured in Cumber-
land Mountains and brought to Gala
tin by some deer hunters not long
since. 1t is not fully grown, but is
quite large for its age, being about 4
feet long, 81 inches high, and weigh
ing 40 pounds. It is the color of a
demonstrating this vicious animal, and
values him very highly as pet. The
house cats and dogs stand in perfect
awe Of the newcomer, although it
never shows fight unless antagonized.
The wildcat gambols about the house
in frolicsome way and is quite fond
of Mr.. Mitchell. It spends a greater
part of the time in the house, lying
before the fire, but readily obeys when
ordered out of the room. Although
the cat has house "built to ORDER" it
has been permitted to remain in Mr..
Mitchell's bedroom during this cold
spell, remaining in a corner of the
room all night and never making any
disturbance.
The cat is a great deal more active
than the domestic cats, and enjoys
jumping from limb to limb of trees,
from the house top to the ground,
etc. 1t has "a peculiarly sounding
voice, which can be heard a great dis
lance. 1t was apt in learning several
tricks which its owner taught it, An
other strange thing about this cat is
that it has no inclination to rove
around-one Of the peculiarities of The
wildcat-and is never seen out Of the
yard, only when following MI. Mitch

This is the only instance knowE
where wildcat has been tanned, and

achievement.
