A str.nre chlns.s Ceremony.

Twice a year the Chinese offer up
food and prayers at the graves of their
dead They have large stone plat
form erected in each of their ceme-
teries, with two large stone chimneys
at the end of each. Two men place a
roast pig, drink, fruit, and several 9TH
er kinds of food on the platform, while
two others are engaged in lighting fires
in the chimneys. After this they kneel
and offer prayer; then, rising, they
chant long, dreary kind of song.
By this time the fires are out in the
chimneys. They then leave the food
on the platform while they drive home.
1t is the Chinese belief that Satan
comes down in the night to steal away
the bodies of their dead friends; but
II, on arriving at the graves. he finds
meal laid out for him, he is SO pleas
ed that he sits down and eats, and
then flies away afterwards SO satisfied
that he either forgets to take the
bodies or else repents Of having in

The American losses are estimated at

Midnight Visitor.
Alexander Williamson went costly to
bed,
And on the soft white pillow he laid
his weary head;
But at the very moment that his heavy
eyelids fell,
a certain something happened which
is terrible to tell
And he was filed with wonderment
that made him cold and mute.
For. standing up beside his bed. he saw
his Sunday suit
"Oh. Alexander Williamson"-it lifted
up a sleeve
Your conscience is upbraidng you,
I'm happy to believe.
For all the things you've done to me
In such a careless way
Are quite enough to fill the heart with
horror and dlsmay.
The first three days you knew me, you
were careful as could be;
Ycu kept me nicely busted. and you
didn't spill your tea
But oh, those happy days are gone, as
happy days will go,
And II l seem little dull. the reason
you must Know.
You've bulged my trouser pockets un-
til no one thinks them neat;
You tore button off my coat and lost
it in the street:
You scrambled up a bramble bank to
catch a humble bee.
And In your very shocking haste you
tore a trouser-knee."
Then, coming close beside the bed. 1t
shook wristband low;
Now, Alexander Williamson. It's well
that you should know
That though l do not often come to
visit you in wrath,
I won't submit to every shame you
heap upon the cloth.
Your roughness and your tyranny shall
bear an awful fruit:
I'll go to rags and tatters and you
shall not have a suit!
And then 1t got SO angry as 1t knelt
against the bed,
That Alexander Williamson-he COW
cred up his head.
Now II on any morning you should
wander down our way
And chance to meet a little boy in
wonderful array
In clothes full neatly busted, and high
ly polished boot
It's Alexander Williamson-and in his
Sunday suit.

The AIbttross.


The albatross Is web-footed bird,
nearly allied to gulls aud petrals. 1t is
very large creature, with rather
long beak, hooked at the point, and
OF a delicate pink color inclining to
yellow. 1t is the largest of web-foot-
ed birds, measuring at least four feet
in length and from ten to sixteen feet
in spread of wings. The wings. how
ever. are very narrow ia proportion to
their length. The plumage is soft and
abundant, mostly white but with
black feathers sprinkled here and
there upon the wings and back. This
bird Is often seen at a great distance
from land, abounding in southern seas.
chiefly near the Cape of Good Hope.
1t often approaches quite close to
passing ships, being, of course. an OBJ
1ect OF interest to passengers as well
as crew when 1t is seen sweeping the
surface of the ocean in pursuit of
flying fish. which form its favorite
food. Its mode of progressing is very
beautiful, as 1t seems rather to float
in the air than to fly like other birds,
for, except when it is rising from the
water. the motion of its long wings
can scarcely be noticed. Indeed, moth
ing can be more beautiful than the
ease and grace with which the bird
sweeps past ship. often within few
yards of 1t. every part OF its body
perfectly motionless except the head
and eyes, which turn slowly from side
to side. appearing to take notice or
everything.

Believes Animals Can Count.

Most people have seen performing ami
mails in circuses and music halls who are
apparently accomplished mathematician
Performances of this Sort however, are
of little scientific value owing to the large
element of trickery generally involved in
them. A secret sign from the impresario
to the animal frequently proves the sole
explanation of it's apparent cleyerness.
DR.. Timofeff is a Russian doctor who
has made exhaustive experiments in ami
NAL intelligence Parrots, he says, can
count up to four, and he has extended
these investigations to other birds. dogs,
cats and horses. He concludes that crows
can count up to 10, dogs to "a, cats only
to six, but horses carry off the palm as
caleulators.
In a village of the government of Po-
kow, DR.. Tmofleff studied horse be-
longing to peasant, and found that the
horse always stopped at the end of its
twentieth furrow. 1t did not stop when
tired, but only after every 20 burrows.
loo 1t was so exact about this that its mas
ter reckoned the number of burrows that
he made by the number of times that the
horse halted. The animal counted for the
man. One day this physician was going
to Naldai, when at the twenty-second
verst one of the horses hitched to the
troika "a three-horsed carriage) stopped
suddenly. The driver got down from his
seat, gave some provender to the horse
and drove on.
This horse had been trained by its mas
ter when very young to get food at every
Is versts. There can be no doubt that
the horse kept count by the posts along
the road. II had made a mistake this
time of three yersts, but it was not its
fault, Along the road there were three
other posts besides the telegraph posts
which looked very much like them Hence
the error of three versts.
This same horse was accustomed to get
its food in a stable near which the town
clock rang at noon. DR.. Timonfieff him
self saw the horse prick up its ears and
listen, but droops its head dissatisfied
when less than II strokes sounded. On the
contrary, ii manifested all kinds of salts
faction when it heard the 18th stroke of
the bell, neighing for. its provender.

SUIT FOR POSSESSION
Miles Finlen Seeks to Recover the
Minnie Healy and $125,OOO.
A FINE QUESTION OF LAW
Interesting Point Arises in the Suit of
The Butte Cash Meat Co. VS..
Vandyne & Co.-Two DEGREES
OF Divorce Granted.

A suit for possession of the Minnie
Healy mine, for s125,000 and for an in
junction to prevent F. A. Heinze, A. P.
Heinze, the Montana Ore Purchasing
company and the YOUNGSTOWN Mining
company from mining the property was
brought in the district court yesterday
by Miles Finlen and a temporary re-
straining order was issued by Judge
Lindsay.
The complaint in the case alleges that
John Denim and wife and Mary E.
Reilly We're the owners of a three
fourths interest in the mine and Caro-
line V. Kelley owned the other fourth.
They gave a lease and bond on the
property to Thomas r. Kinds. The lat
ter assigned the lease to James T. Fin
lin, and he, in turn, assigned it to the
plaintiff, who secured an extension of
both lease and bond from the owners
until February, 1900. II is alleged that
every provision of the lease has been
fulfilled, and that while the plaintiff
was in possession of the mine the de-
PENDANTS entered upon the premises and
ousted him. 1t is alleged that since they
have been in control of the property
they have taken out ore to the value of
at least S125, 900, for which amount judg-
ment is asked.
A Justices court appeal case, involv
ing a rather interesting point of law,
in which E. o. Dugan and George G.
Broderick, doing business under the
firm name of the Butte Cash Meat COM
pany, were plaintiffs, and Vandyne &
Co. were defendants. The amount sued
for was only s1o7.Sr. Before any evil
dence was introduced, John N. Kirk
representing the defendants, objected
to the introduction of any evidence on
the ground that the plaintiffs We're do
ing business under a fictitious name,
and had not complied with the provis-
ion aof the code requiring them to file
with the county clerk a certificate Civ
ing the full names of all the members
of the firm. The law provides further
that If such certificate is not filed, the
parties cannot maintain an action on
account of any contracts until it is filed.
The objection was overruled and the
same question was raised later on "A
motion to dismiss the case. In overrul-
ing the motion, the court said it ap-
peared from the testimony that shortly
after the commencement of the suit the
plaintiffs did file the necessary certifi-
cate and, in the Judgment of the court,
the law has therefore been substantial
ly complied with. The case was given
to the jury and verdict was returned
for the defendants.
Judge Lindsay yesterday heard the
proofs in the divorce cases of Merida
Thibodeau against Gervais Thibodeau
and Clinton Kerr against Josephine
Kerr and granted a decree in each case
on the ground of desertion.
