The mascot business is no doubt carried
to excess by many of the volunteer SOL
dlers. Whenever a regiment leaves here
for Cuba, there can be seen mascots by
the dozen-boys, dogs. goats, cats, birds,
alligators, and what notion the way to
the ship with the men; and that is prob
ably about the way it has been at every
other port where troops have been en-
barked, since the cessation of hostilities
When the transport Grant was about to
leave New York the other day for Manila
each company aboard had its mascot, if
not two of them. Gen. Lawton concluded
that there were too many of them and
set about to have them put ashore. Every
one that could be found whether of two
legged or a four-legged species, was sent
over the side and back into the city. At
ter Lawton's raid, it is believed that not
more than two mascots succeeded In re-
naming on the ship.

THE PINK AND THE sHAMROcK.

The country has been edited during the
last few days by the spirited bidding of
Chicago. New York and Boston for the pos
session of new but now famous pink, or
carnation, named the Mrs. Lawson in
honor Of a Boston woman. Chicago led
off with a bid of Sc, 90 by a millionaire
Cry goods merchant New York followed
with bid Of $1,000 by syndicate 1t is
remarkable how the New York idea runs
to syndicates. even In the matter Of pur-
chasing flowers. At this juncture Boston
stepped to the front and declared that the
flower should never leave the Hub where
1t was originated, and stopped the bidding
and secured the flower by putting up a
lump sum of $4,000 for the pink The
Boston bidder was Mr. Lawson, husband
Of the lady whose name the carnation
bore. Presumably the gentleman present.

Expert testimony As to the effect that
the pink is indeed very fine. The propa-
gator of it says: THE color of the Mrs
Lawson carnation is a beautiful pink on a
sturdy stem. The flower is from to AZ

Mystery of the Rattle.

Investigation of the rattlesnake by
American scientists in recent years has
resulted in much curious, and, in in
stances, valuable information, said DIR.
Thomas Stockton Baker of Johns Hop
kins University, shut there lie one i'm
portant question still to be answered,
and that is, What is the purpose of the
snakes rattle? The riddle has long
perplexed psychologists, and probably
will remain unsolved until the end of
time, if they continue to search for one
solitary purpose which may be consid-
cred of such significance in the reptile g
economy as to have effected the de-
velopment Of such specialized part.
I'm attempting to explain the utility
to the snake of the rattle, many philos-
ophizing herpetologists have signally
failed, for the simple reason that it
seems the rattle, instead of being USE
full or advantageous to the snake, in
most instances is dangerous disad-
vantage, which has caused the extinc-
ton of the ratllers in well-inhabited
sections of our country. However, it
must be borne in mind that the rattle
was evolved long before man appeared
in the rattler's field, and the question
of its great disadvantage in the conflict
between man and snake could have no
influence upon its evolution, according
to the opinion held by many who have
puzzled over the problem. or course,
theories are many, and one scientist,
who eventually abandoned the riddle

How TO PREVENT PNEUMoNIA.-You are
perhaps aware that pneumonia always re-
suits from cold or from an attack OF la
grippe. During the epidemic of la grippe
few years ago when so many cases resulted
in pneumonia, it was observed that the a.
tack was never followed by that disease
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was
used. 1t counteracts any tendency OF a
cold or la grippe to result in that dangerous
disease. 1t is the best remedy in the world
for bad colds and Ia grippe. Every hottie
