TRYING MOMENT.
In Madrid When the Entire Population

In Madrid When the Entire Population
Was Terribly Excited.
London correspondence New York
Mail and Express: A Sunday or two
ago Madrid was convulsed with a
question which outweighed all others.
In the; theaters, in the cafes, and in
the streets there was but one subject
of conversation, and that was not the
cession of Cuba or the rebellion in the
Philippines, but matter which touch
ed the Madridenes nearer home. In
the Gale de Sevilla, especially, on that
Sunday, was news awaited with anx.
.iety from the meeting which was be-
ing held at the Hotel Anglais. At last,
about 10 o'clock in the evening, man
rushed into the street, gasping for
breath, and only just able to utter the
words: '..He will cut it OFF, The ten
sion was relaxed, there was a general
feeling of relief, and the glad news
was passed from mouth to mouth, "He
will cut it OFF, In such times of DO
litical crisis the. stranger might have

was somebody's head which was to be
cut off, but as a matter of fact he
would have been too sweeping in his
ideas. The man in question was M.
Felix Robert, a Frenchman, who pro-
posed to appear before the public at
Madrid as a toreador. So far, SO good;
but in the course of banquet at Ma
drid he had announced that he thought
of appearing in the ring in manner
not consistent with tradition a Hence
all the heated arguments which con
vulsed the city and deprived 1t Of APP
petite and sleep. The meeting at the
Hotel Anglais brought about a happy
solution. N. Felix Robert, after a
long debate, decided to cut OF his
mustache before appearing in the bull
ring: Tradition was kept unimpaired
and that night Madrid went TRANQUIL
Ind contented to bed. s..ts; s,Ss e ss.

Snake with One Body, Two Heads ana
VI Two Tails Then There's . Bear That
Lugs on . Big Pork Barrel, and :
Negro Who's Turning White. Y

One Darlington, a New. Milford (Pa)
farmer, recently succeeded in capturing
a snake, or pair Of snakes, hitched to-
gether like the Siamese twins. The
reptile has two heads and two tails.
All the rest Of the body is like that Of
a single snake, with the exception Of
a slight depression above and below
extending the entire length. The bod
les join about six inches from the head.
Each tail is almost a foot long. The
length Of the joined body is two feet
nine inches. The twins were discov-
cred last summer by a little son Of
Darlington, who told his father about
them and showed him the track across
the road. Darlington ran across it a
few Gays ago. when blasting rock
and succeeded in taking it alive. The
twin snakes are jet black, with a yell
low ring just behind the head. Both
mouths take.food
A Callicoon (Pa.) farmer bought a
barrel to pack some beef in, and left it
in the barnyard, one night recently.
Next morning it was gone, to his great
vexation, as pork barrels are not plen-
tiful in that neighborhood. There was
no one in the neighborhood whom the
farmer suspected of stealing it, and the
disappearance was mystery that he
tried to solve for a long time in vain.
The other day the secret came out
1h.no 1Si1 ra
brook he saw his missing barrel in a
hollow. He went to the barrel, and as
he laid his hand on it there was a great
rumbling inside and out popped a bear,
which gave startled look and shut
fled away rapidly into the bush. There
was no explanation of the presence of
the barrel in that spot except on the
theory that the bear had stolen it in
the night and rolled it all the way to
the ridge, where the barrel had lodged,
for snug resting place for himself.
In slavery days, susquehanna and
Wayne counties had many stations of
the underground railroad" for slaves
escaping from the South to Canada. !
Among the slaves to escape was Tom
Harris, who was owned by Col. Harris
of Culpepper, Va. AS soon as war was
declared, Tom returned from Canada
to Wayne county, where he has since
lived, doing odd jobs on farms. When
Tom came to Wayne county he was
as black as the "ace of spades" but
for the last three years white spots
have appeared upon his person, and
today he is more than two-thirds white.
Each succeeding white spot IS larger
and whittier than the one preceding, and
their coming is accompanied by in
tense pain and itching. Toms hair,
once twisted and "kinky," is gradual

belief that, before long, he will be cas-
white as any man in Wayne county"

one of these was found to show dia- mond projecting from the surface. The boulder was broken, and was found to contain others Afterwards diamond was seen on a second specimen. The rock is one which, though not very common, is well known to geologists. It bears in science the name of eclogtte, and that from NeWlands consists al- most exclusively of red garnet and rock is coarsely crystalline, and was once, no doubt, like granite, in a mol ten condition, the diamond being one of it's original constituents. But this discovery also settles the true nature of the blue ground" and that it was not the birthplace of the diamond. These boulders are evidently water a past geological period from some much more ancient rock, now buried out of sight. They must have reposed for ages in an ancient gravel at the very bottom of the sedimentary rocks of the district-rocks which are about as old as the red marls of the English Midlands Eventually, the overlying rocky floor, in which the diamonds are embedded, and of which these boulders are only samples. were sent flying by volcanic explosions. It was in this way that the diamond bearing "blue ground" was formed.--London Stan dard.

poultry intended for consumption by orthodox Hebrews in that city. There has been a suspicion that all the meat served to Hebrews has not been "kosh- CT, and for religious and sanitary rea- sons it has been decided to remove all doubt on this point. Already those en- gagged in slaughtering cattle after the manner prescribed by the Hebrew law have signed an agreement to work un- der the supervision of the association, and 1t now only remains for those enl- ployed in killing poultry for the ortho- dox Hebrews to sign, and the practical work of the association will be begun. Heretofore the slaughterer or 'ehochet," as he is known to the Hebrews, has been engaged by the wholesale butchers supplying Kosher meat, but in fu- ture he will be employed by the associa- tion just incorporated In this way, it is hoped to obtain only men competent to perform the work of "sochet" Af- ter the association has begun it's work the orthodox Hebrews will, it is said not accept any meat or poultry which has not been marked "kosher'' by the
 bodecks," or examiners, employed by the association.

nEE FOR THE NORTH POLE.

| If would be decidedly interesting if citizens of sunny Italy should carry of the wreath of honor that hangs on the | North Pole awaiting the grasp of some adventurous hand. Some citizens Of sunny Italy are going to make great try for said wreath. The Duke q Abruz-
 zi. a nephew of the King of Italy has set forth in the Stella Polire, leaving Christiania, Norway, for the icy regions of the North He is a cool headed young man who has already proved his
 courage and persistence. He went to
 Alaska two or three years ago and
 climbed mountains and glaciers for the
 double purpose of pleasure and the ac-
 uuirement of scientific information
 With him on the present journey is
 Captain Umberto Cagui of the Italian
 Navy, who was companion of his
 Alaskan exploration, and is said to be
 an excellent organizer. Other mem-
 bers of the expedition are Dr. Cavani
 and Count Qurni of the Navy and
 quartet of Alpine guides, whose assist
 ance should be material in making a
 way over the rough ice fields within the
 Arctic Circle. The crew consists of Italians and Norwegians and at Arch-
 angel more than hundred dogs are to r, +a1y T +1
 attend to them. The Stella Polire will
 sail in the direction of Franz Josef Land and touch at Cape Flora where a junction, it is hoped, will be formed with Walter Welman's expedition. The Stella will then continue northward as far as she can push and winter in the ice. A new method of ice breaking will be introduced in dynamite of which a great quantity has been shipped. Next spring Clash for the Pole" will be made, twenty sledges being enlisted and provisions for four months taken along
 The explorers have hopes that even if the majority of the party is compelled by weariness or illness to return to the ship before the desired goal is reached, one or more will succeed in the search.
 The Italian scheme is good one, but the Duke d'Abruzzi and his followers will probably come home without the wreath as many daring ones have done before them.
