THERE is complaint that horses are
frequently injured by having nails run
into their feet while being driven along
the streets of the city. In explanation
OF the presence Of the nails in the streets
it is said that when boxes are opened in
front OF stores nails are often carelessly
thrown into the street. This is careless
ness OF a very reprehensible sort and
mention of the consequences should be
sufficient to cause persons who have been
guilty OF it in the past to be more care
full in the future. -Frederick Nes0s.

ONE OF the odd, though far from anus
ing, results Of the war in South Africa is
the distress it is bringing to certain
class Of artisans-the diamond cutters OF
Antwerp. The stock of rough stones in
that city, which is the center OF the dia-
mond cutting industry. is nearly ex-
hausted. and in fortnight it will be en-
tirely so. Already relief committees are
at work among the unemployed hand
lers OF these luxuries OF the rich.

Weird servian Story.

A weird story comes from the Ser
Wan town of Petrovac. The Servian
peasantry is quite rs superstitious as
the same class in any other continental
country, and it is an article OF the
peasant creed that the treasures OF the
Czar Radowau are buried somewhere
within King Alexander's realm. 1t is
said to be no rare thing to see bands
of peasants, to the serious neglect OF
their farm work, digging in the earth
for these self-same treasures. A
peasant named Theodore Paikovic was
digging, this story goes, with mum.
ber of his fellows, in the outskirts OF
Petrovac. Pajkovic's wife, Marlnka,
watched the perspiring lahorers at
their self-assigned task. One of the
men remarked that he had heard that
to be successful in treasure-quest one
must have human blood on ones
hands. The diggers looked at one
another questioningly. Then one
nodded toward Marinka and screwed
up his face einquiringly at her husband.
The husband nodded and winked,
then added aloud: Cali right! She
can die; there are other wives to be
had" He had hardly spoken the
words when a revolver banged and
Marinka fell over dead. All night the
men dug within view OF the corps, but
the next day the police got wind OF the
murder and the treasure-hunters are
now awaiting trial.-Chicago Record

Electrical Device for Winning at Dice
Revealed by an Odd Table.
Among the battered fiotsam and jet
sam that has accumulated in second
hand store in New Orleans, says the
Times-Demorrat, is d shabby round
table with curious secret, and no
doubt still more curious history.
The top was once covered with green
billiard cloth, which is worn to tatters
and discloses steel plate set i'll the
centre and perhaps ten inches square.
The whole top is loose and can be re-
moved, revealing an interior space
containing a horseshoe magnet wound
with wire and connected with an arma-
ture very much like that of an ordi-
nary telegraph instrument. A close
examination shows IN insulated wire
running down one OF the legs to
small knob or button, protruding OH
the outside. When the top is in place
the steel plate rests directly over the
magnet.
This strange device is explained
clearly enough by It's present owner.
1T is a dice table," he said, son
which lot of money has been won.
When it was in order there was q good
sized battery inside connected with
the magnet. When the knob on the
leg was pressed the currentwas turned
on, and that made the steel plate mag
netic The dice they used with it.had
small metz. disks sonnna fnise, antl- as q
long as the current was on they natur-
ally fell that side down. When the
knob was released, they would fall any
way they Glanced to come, so all that
was necessary for the operator to DO
was to keep his knee on the button and
he could absolutely control his play. )"

"The Fortune of War"

A yery plain, apt and excellent IL
lustration of the popular cxpresslon'
"the fortunes of war" is the singular
fact that Major General Leonard
Wood, the present military governor
of Santiago province, is now in COM
maud of his former commanding Of
fcer.
This strange state Of affairs is e1-
planned thuswise:>
Just little more than two years ago
General Wood was surgeon OF the
Fifth Regular infantry with the rank
of captain, and after he had left the
service to practice medicine in civil
life at Washington he was remembered
fondly by the entire regiment as nm
officer who was fond of athletics, es-
pecially football and wr=stling.
At the opening of the late war he
was appointed colonel OF the Rough
Riders, and for gallant and efficient
services rendered lie earned his pres
ent rank and appointment. ,
Duriug the entire war tie Fiith
was the only regular regiment that
did not have chance to see service,
but aftelsthe protocol had been signed
and the fighting troops were being
sent home, the Fifth was detailed TO
do guard duty at Santiago under Gen.
eral Wood.
So it now happens that General
Woods old colonel is under his COM
-nand, as are also other officers who
ranked him when he was only cap
tain.-New York Herald.

Ifs ants we're large enough they
would rule the earth. As it's, they
predominant the politics OF their own
sphere, and have many human char
acteristics. ;.
The longest time for which an ant
sleeps Is three and a half hours. On
awakening they stretch their legs,
yawn, and then carefully clean them
selves by applying tha.r legs to their
mouths and rubbing them over their
bodies, very much in rle style OF cat
washing her face; after which they
comb and brush their heads and bodies
with the natural comb which nature
gives them.
The most remarkable thing about
this is that every necessity for which
we are obliged in our case to employ
more or less complicated mechanical
contrivances is provided for by the
physical structure of the ants.
Ants clean themselves both before
and after sleep, and also after eating.
Frequently ore ant will lick and brush
another all over, limb by limb, the ant
operated on sprawling on her Jack,
relaxing her muscles and abandoning
herself to the enjoyment OF the opera
tion.
They are great hunters, attacking
snakes, lizards, rats, mice, centlpedes
and beetles. = Cincinnati Enquirer.

Their Em;inences take great care
that none shall overlook them while
they write and seal their vote.
Each Cardinal in turn takes his
folded voting paper between the thumb
and index finger of his ringed right
hand, holding it aloft in view of all.
So, and alone, he goes to the altar,
makes his genuaexion on the lowest
step; on the highest step he swears
his oath aloud that his vote is free.
On the paten which covers one OF
the great golden chaliees he lays his
