J1M's BABY.
A Klondilse Dog Goes Foraging and
Returns with an Indian
Infant.

Two years ago, when the Klondike
fever was an epidemic on the Pacific
coast, says Truth, John Harms and
wife, of Suisun, with their three
months-old baby, took passage on a
steamer from San Francisco to the gold
fields. They took with them from their
home large dog, of no special breed,
but, as Mr.. Harms says, dogs are
valuable on the Yukon" and, as Mrs.
Harms said, "Jim was baby's protect
or" The many stories of dogs affec
ton for children We're not exaggerated
in Jim's case. His only object of earth
ly worship was that baby. After a
few months residence on Bonanza
creek, the baby died, and Jim was in
consolable. He would not permit
caressee or attentions even from his
master, but kept watch over the little
mound on the hill for many days and
nights. One day he came home, and,
after being fed by Mrs. Harms, trotted
off in the direction of an Indian village
about mile distant He was gone for
two or three days. One evening, when
Mr.. and Mrs. Harms were eating their
evening meal, they heard Jim's scratch
on the door, and upon opening it there

and looking very happy, and at his feet

Quay Conspiracy Trial on Motion OF

Philadelphia, Feb. 27.-On motion of
District Attorney Rothermel, the Quay
conspiracy trial has been postponed UNI
til April 10. The district attorney did
not state his reason for the motion for
the postponement. Counsel for de-
PENDANTS objected to postponement
and stated to the court that they had

siderable trouble to prepare their case
and desired immediate trial.
Judge Better, however, granted the
motion of the district attorney for post

for the trial.
Senator Quay. on leaving the court

TIE OYSTER IN EUROPE.
Some Places where the succulent
Bivalve Is Reared and
Highly Prixed.

An oyster feast is, held every year at
Colchester, England, but this years
feast was the greatest on record. a
special train carried down the guests
from London, and, says the Westmin-
ster Gazette, besides the duke of Cam
bridge, the lord mayor of London and
has sheriffs and the lord provost of
Edinburgh were among those intent
ON playing the walrus and the car
penter with the waiting oysters. The
picturesque old town was en- fete, and
gay with flags and soldiers. The first
function was the laying of the corner
stone of the Tower hall, which is to be
a commodious and handsome building,
with a clock tower. Then followedthe
grandest oyster banquet ever held in
England.
Apropos, the Sketch celebrates the
oyster at length. saying in the course
OF it's article: The most interesting
experiments in oyster culture have
been made in Holland. The Dutch pos
sessed splendid natural beds among
the islands of iceland, and in the
Zuyder Zee, but excessive dredging had
almost exhausted them. In 1870 it was
determined to try the effect of oyster
culture. In the neighborhood of Yer
seke, in that part of the island of Beve-
land where the Ooster Scheldt washes
the Drowned Land" oyster fisheries
were withdrawn from the public and
leased out for Is years to oyster Gull
turists at an inclusive yearly rental of
about e1,7oO. So successful was the
experiment that in 1885 the fisheries
were released at an inclusive yearly
rental of about G2s,0OO. More than
this, whereas rs years ago there were
only poor hamlets'in the neighborhood
OF the oyster fisheries, prosperous vii
lagos have now sprung up and the
Dutch native" fairly disputes the palm
for excellence of flavor with the Brit
ish-born oyster.

G.rm rhnt cru,en sun.troke

An eminent doctor has been investi-
eating the malady and has come to the
conclusion that sunstroke is not due
solely to excessive heat or exposure to
the full rays of a cloudless sun. He de-
clares that sunstroke is. on the con-
trary, an infectious disease, caused,
like fever or smallpox, by specific or
ganism or germ. But this germ he has
not yet succeeded in isolating, though
he hopes in course of time to do so.
There is little doubt, he says, that the
germ is bred in the superficial layers
of the soil in certain lowlying regions
of the earth, and that 1t is imbibed into
the human system by the breathing OF
dusty air.

ated an Arab and Convicted
Two Spies.

Gen. Sir Herbert Kitchener, the sir
dar commanding the Anglo-Egyptian
expedition in the Sudan, is evidently a
man of resource, if story told of him
he true. The sirdar is a tall, dark
skinned man who in disguise would
easily pass for native, and his knowl-
edge of the character of the tribes, and
of their language, gives him an adj
vantage in dealing with the people.
At one of his camps on the Nile, so
runs the story, two Arab chiefs, date
sellers, were on certain occasion ar
rested, being suspected of being spies.
They were confined in the guard tent,
and were not left alone, for soon after
their detention a third Arab prisoner
was unceremoniously bundled into the
tent.
Thereupon an animated jabbering be-
gan, and was carried on for a few min
utes. The two prisoners were by no
means reticent in the presence of one of
their own race, who was, like them
selves, prisoner, and they let their
tongues wag fast.
After q few minutes conversation
the sentry was surprised to see the
latest arrival draw aside the door and
step out.
"All right, sentry" he said II am
going to the general"
1t was Kitchener, and he had himself
investigated the case to see that JUS
tice was done.
A few minutes more passed, and
again the door was opened. This time
an orderly appeared. He handed a
spade to each of the prisoners, and they
were then marched outside, made to dig
their own graves and shot. They were,
in truth, as had been suspected, spies,
and the general had convinced himself
of the fact.

A TERRIBLE PLANT.
1t Grows In Mexico and 1t. Toxic
Properties Are Deadly In
Effect.

Among the plants of the earth prob
ably none possess stranger properties
than the talavatch of Mexico. Its tox-
E effects are remarka BILE as those as
cribed to the tabled waters of the
Lethe, only do they differ in that in
stead of destroying the memory of the
past, as the Letheon potion was sup
posed to do, the talaNatch works de-
struction of the memory OF the things
to come, and does not affect the mem
ory of the past. The victim knows no
more of time, but that which is in this
PAST before he has quaffed this strange
and awful decoction. The physical
functions are in no wise disturbed by
its administration. butthe mind hence
forth becomes no longer receptive, and
passing events are not noted by it, and
no record is made in the realm of rea-
son as to what transpires. The vic
tim often lives for years after having
been .talavatched," but always lives
in the past. Past delights are mostly
dwelt upon and conversed about. Sad
indeed is the case of member of the
royal family of Mexico, a relic of the
days of the empire, who for years has
BEEN the victim of the effects of this
wonderful drug. She was poisoned
with it by an unfaithful servant, and
to-day lives in strict seclusion, still in
her mind the proud possessor of all
the privileges of her departed nobility.

holds his position entirely independent
of the likes and dislikes of his people;

them comes varying list of ages, and
all these ladies, be it remember were
