MEN OF BUTTER AND EGGS.
Hollands Farmer Folk Were Too
Much for spsin's Naughty
Dons.

When Philip II. debated the question
of coercing with fire and sword the
Dutchman who did not like the Spanish
inquisition or taxes, which they them
selves did not vote, the duke of Alva
counseled violent measures, for in his
eyes the rebels were only men of but
ter" Nevertheless he found that these
men so fond of cows and hens could
hold his veterans at bay, finally over
come them in the field and after 80
years leave poor Spain "a broken
backed tiger"
Indeed, in time of war country folk
with baskets of eggs and butter ex-
cited no suspicion, even to alert senti-
nels. Taking advantage of this fact,
Sir Francis We're determined to recap
ture from the Spaniards the Zutphen
sconces, or forts, by a stratagem. In
1891 he picked out some lusty and hand
some young soldiers and dressed most
of them like the Gelderland egg wom-
en- and the rest as beers. With bundles
of vegetables, baskets of eggs and but
ter, but also with triggers and pistols
inside their clothes, they were ferried
across the river by twos and threes-
They sat near the gate of the fort, be-
ing already, at the brink of day, chat
ting and gesticulating, as if in some
tremendous argument about the rise
or fall of market prices. Then, accord
ing to agreement, We're sent some cav
airy forward, as if approaching, and the
pretended country people ran in
feigned terror toward the fort. The
gates were at once thrown open to re-
ceive them. They all streamed in, threw
off their DISCUSSES and in few min
utes were in possession of the forts OF
the town, where the gallant Sir Philip
Sidney afterwards lost his life-by be-
ing more rash and less shrewd than the
veteran Wiretapper Bazaar.

The viagraph is newly-invented ma
chine for accurately determining the
inequalities of road surface. 1t re-
sembles sledge, and in principle is q
straight edge applied continually to the
road on which it may be drawn. The
machine carries roll of paper which
receives the impression OF two pencils.
One of these is fixed and marks per-
fectly straight line, while the other
rises and falls according to the vari-
atoms of the surface. These variations
are transmitted by serrated wheel
which travels on the road surface and
is attached to one end of lever which is
pivoted in the center. At the opposite
end of the lever is the second pencil,
and as the wheel rises and falls with
the undulations of the road surface the
pencil rises and falls correspondingly,
thus making an infallible record of the
surface. The viagraph has been ex-
tcnsiyely used in England, where its
records have been frequently used by
bicychsts for the purpose of showing
the authorities how much some roads
are in need of repair. Such a record is
the more valuable as piece of testi-
mony from the fact that the actual de-
gree of unevenness of given road can
be indicated where desired by a numer-
zeal index in feet. which can be at
tached to the machine.-St. Louis Re-

QUEER INSURANCE CASES.
Instances In Which the Sadly ORA
matte Has Been Upper
most.

A good story is told of a betting man
who was in the habit of regularly pur-
chasing a railway insurance ticket
whenever he went on his travels. Once
he failed to do so, and his train was
in imminent danger. His disgust knew
no bounds. Here have been betting
on this coming off all my life" he said,
''and now that it has, - if I've got
bit onl"
There is one sadly dramatic history
associated with an insurance ticket. A
gentleman purchased one prior to
starting on a journey, and, as is fire.
quently done, posted it home to his wife
from the departure station. The ticket
was delivered simultaneously with an
intimation from the railway company
announcing that he had lost his life in
railway accident.
In the case of the Tay bridge disaster
an insurance ticket was discovered up
on the body of one of the victims. The
ticket had been reduced to absolute
pulp by the action of the sea water, but
under a microscope the printing could
still be traced. The company there
upon admitted the claim and duly paid
over the amount of the insurance
money.
After the death Of one victim of a
railway accident his estate was proved
at c 1000 rs Id. An insurance ticket
represented the pounds" column of
the above figures, while his personal
estate" accounted for the remaining
seven shillings one pence.
One man in passing under low arch
way slightly forced his hat down over
his eyes and straighway died from a
fracture of the skull. 1t was found
afterward that his headpiece was of
such abnormal thinness that the light

life must infallibly have proved stal.
And yet he reached middle sgei
Another gentleman, also a policy
holder, exhibited totally opposite quail

but walked about in complete igno-
rance of the fact for six weeks. At the
end of that time he became i'll and
died.-Railway Magazine.

Jumped Them Up Some.

At meeting of the board Of suu ervisors Wednesday, there were g. number of bills from justices of the peace and constables which failed to receive the approval of the district attorney as being illegal charges or otherwise defective. One was from justice of the peace in one of the out lying precincts, who tried a man for attempt to commit rape and sen- tenced him to six months in the coun~ ty jail.
 Two of the bills were from Justice F. J. Duffy and Constable T. K. Brod- rick of Nogales precinct. District Attorney Harlow refused approval. basing his refusal upon Act No. l9, of the Seventeenth legislature of Ari- zona, which provides that DO justice of the peace LIVING AT THE COUNTY SEAT shall receive or collect any fees in any criminal case unless the war rant of arrest in such case was issued by the advice of the district attorney; and the act further provides "nor shall the board of supervisors of any county audit, allow or pay any fees or compensation herein prohibited or disallowed
 Que of the supervisors said to Colo nel Harlow:
 Suppose we go ahead and pay these bills, what would be the result?"
 Ut would result in lawsuits" was the reply; you or your bondsnen might have to pay the money back into the treasury, and you might go to jail"
 For period of about two minutes there was painful silence You could have heard gum drop.
