GERONIMO STILL LIVELY.
At the Age of Ninety Years the Fa-
nous Apache Chief Is
Full of VfEor.

Old Geronimo, chief of the Apaches,
is the most noted Indian of the wild
tribes of North America. he is 90 years
of age, and as straight as an arrow.
His eyes are keen, piercing and cruel
His feet are very large.
When at the post at Fort Sill, I. T.,
old Geronimo played monte, a game
of cards liked very much by the In
dians, but when he can get permission
to leave the reservation his time is
spent in hunting, Of which he is still
very fond.
Geronimo was with Victoria in the
Indian uprising in 1882, when 600
Apaches were led by her against the
whites who had settled in Arizona and
bordering states.
They were pursued by Lewis Teras-
raz with regiment Of Mexican soldiers.
Victoria was captured and beheaded
and more than one-half of her band
were killed. Geronimo escaped, but,
after hearing that Victoria had been
beheaded, surrendered.
He was released and became the great
war chief Of the Apaches. His band was
a terror to the early settlers Of ARR
IONA, Mexico and New Mexico.
In 1884 Gen. George Crook was de-
tailed by the government 10 capture
this band. After two years of unsuc-
cessful pursuit Gen. Crook resigned and
Gen. Miles was given command of the
troops in pursuit.
March 25, 1866, Gen. Miles captured
Geronimo and his band. Terms were
made whereby they were 10 remain on
the reservation at Fort Bowie Four
days later the chief and his band es-
capped aud began further depredations
en- the whites. Capt. Lawton was
sent in pursuit, and the band was again
captured.
The territory of Arizona petitioned
the government TO have the Apaches re-
moved to distant fields. After some
time il was decided to send the Old chief
and his band to Florida. They were
closely guarded and were not allowed
to leave the post on any pretext.
The warm climate of Florida and the
close confinement in the fort killed off
most of the band, and, to prevent ex-
termination, the remainder were re-
moved to Fort Sill, l. TN. Y. Sun.

SHED THEIR TEETH.
A Peculiarly About the ssuskeIlunge
Fish.

EkHAs
a few weeks ago I advanced what
was to me the curious information re-
g1rding the shedding of its teeth by
the muskellunge during the summer
months, says a writer in Forest and
Stream. 1 now have confirmation or
the matter advanced at that by Mr.. II.
L. Stanton, of Chicago, and 1 believe
the phenomenon properly to be re-
garded as established. Mr.. Stanton's
observations were made in Wisconsin,
and his original informant had seen
the PHENOMENON in Canada. Now comes
Mr.. II. G. Mccartney, of Chicago, who
has observed the same thing in the
waters of Cass and Itasea counties
Of Minnesota. Mr.. Mccartney says
that last spring in May and June the
teeth of all the muskellUnge taken in
Woman lake and adjacent waters were
sound and normal. On July 10 he ex-
amined fish which showed jaws red
and in1amed, and with some of the
teeth missing. In August still more
teeth were found to be absent in speci-
mems examined. In late August and
in September it was the rule that no
teeth at all would be found in the
mouths of the muske.lunge taken. The
muskellunge taken in October all
showed perfect teeth. Mr.. Mccartney
intends to keep record on this matter
next year. He does not know whether
the teeth are shed yearly or not, but
Knows that they are shed sometimes.

ELECTION EccENTRIcITX.
Unique wnRers That Were Popular
in baltimore.


The majority Of the bets were, as
usual, in cash, but great number Of
decidedly unique and eccentric wagers
were discharged. says the Baltimore
Sun. The time-honored wheelbarrow
ride was INDUCED with wearisome fire.
quency, and in all sections of the city
as TO be seen smiling victor riding
at ease. or at such ease as the rather
cramped quarters afforded by the bar
rows admit, while perspiring and toll
ing behind and almost overwhelmed
with the burden tpundled the unhap-
py loser.
Once in awhile came the confident
man who, in his unconquerable belief
in his boss success, had agreed to
shave one side of his face and allow
the other side TO sport his usual growth
of whiskers. He was hailed with de-
rision and made to feel the seriousness
of rash wagering.
Smooth faces, too, were. seen in num-
bers among men who usually wear
heavy whiskers, and they were also
greeted with bantering merriment by
acquaintance.
One of the odd bets of this year, the
conspicuousness of which made the
loser feel his position keenly, was that
of wearing a straw hat at this unsea-
sonable time of the year. There was
not great number of such wagers
made, apparently, but sufficient to It
tract attention in the busy thorough
fares.
The pushing of peanuts around a
square with match sticks was not neg
lected in the general forfeiture, and
this was seen more often in the quieter
sections of the town. 1t is difficult
wager, indeed, to fulfill, but those who
lost, as rule, piuckily stuck to the
task until the winner declared him
self satisfied.

sIontenegrins as soldiers.

The Montenegrin army is wonderful
" strong for so small a nation, and con-
sists of 24,0eO men, divided into two di-
visions of $4,000 men each. Each Of
these divisions includes two brigades.
Every Montenegro brigade is formed
of five battalions, splendidly armed
with Mimic and Thomas Sedert rifles.
The reigning prince is the commander
in chief of the army; under him is a
chief of the staff, with two generals of
division and four brigadier generals
The army consists almost entirely of
infantry. with a small contingent of ar
tillery. To their great physical
strength, marvellous agility and keen
eyesight, the Montenegrin joins a re-
markable knowledge of everything
pertaining to the science of warfare.
But what in particular characterizes
the Montenegrin as warrior and what
makes him superior to any European
soldier is his strong sense of individ-
uality, his pride Of independence, which
enables him TO perform the most Won
derful acts of courage. Though small,
the Montenegrln army. owing to the
special characteristics of its soldiers, is
a force that win play leading part in
the next coIhagration in eastern Eu-
rope.-Washingt Star.

There were but two graves in the little,
unfenced spot, and they were in the
center Of a sassafras thicket. This old
stone, over which the ivy had crept, well
nigh blotting out the inscription, bore
these words, which seemed to have been
chiseled by trembling fingered novice:

ENGLIsHMEN AT THE THEATER.
English Women Are the Worst

English Women Are the Worst
Dressed Women in the World.
Lillian Bell, who is writing from Lon
don to the Ladies' Home Journal, gives
some remarkably interesting deserip-
tons of the Britishers. Here, for in
stance, is the way she pictures an audi
ence at a London theater: The play
was most amusing, yet my sister and
/ couldn't help watching the audience.
Such a bored-looking set, the women
with frizzled hair held down by in
visible nets, mingiing with their eye
brows and done hideously in the back.
Low-necked gowns, exhibiting the most
beautiful shoulders in the world. Cor
geous jewels in their hair and cleaning
all over their bodices, but among half
q dozen emerald, turquoise and dia-
mond bracelets there would appear a
silver watch bracelet which cost not
over ten dollars, and spoiled the effect
of all the others.
English women as q race are the
worst-dressed women in the world. I
saw thousands of them in Piccadilly
and Regent streets, and at church pa
rade in the park, with high, French
heeled slippers over eolored stockings.
And as to sizes, l should say mines
were the average. There are some
smaller. but the most are larger.
''The prince of Wales was in the box
opposite to ours, and when we were not
looking at him we gazed at the impas-
sive faces of the audience. They never
smiled. They never laughed. The sub
tlest points in the play went unnotieed,
yet it is one which has had record run
and bids fair to keep the boards for the
rest of the season -

BEWARE THE THIN BANANA.

1t Was Picked Too Soon and VIII Al
ways Prove P1ckery and Sour.
When you are buying bananas never
purchase the long thin ones unless you
want fruit which viii pucker your
mouth, advises the New York Sun. No
matter how well ripened these thin
bananas may appear to be, they viii
always be found both sour and aerid.
This is because the bunch which con-
tanned them was picked too soon. The
banana grows fastest at first in length.
When it has reached its full develop
ment in that direction, it suddenly be-
gins TO swell. and in few days will
double in girth. 1t is at the end of this
time that it begins to ripen naturally,
and the effort of the banana importer is
to have the fruit gathered at the last
possible moment, and yet before the
ripening has progressed even enough
to tinge the bright green of the fruit
with yellow. A difference of "a hours
on the trees at this time will make a
difference in the weight of the fruit of.
perhaps, rs per cent. and all the diff
ference in its final flavor between a
puckery sour and the sweetness and
smoothness which are characteristic
of the ripe fruit. To get the bananas
TO our market in good condition re-
quires fast steamers, which must be
provided with ventilation and other
means of keeping the fruit from ripen-
ing too fast in the hold. Much of the
finest fruit does ripen in the few days
of passage, and this is sold to hucksters
for street sale.

The progress in the construction and
working of ozone generators has late-
ly been such that ozone can now be pro-
duced in large quantities continuously,
and the industrial application of ozone
can, therefore, be carried on now at a
relatively low cost and on a large
scale. Impure water can be rendered
wholesome and drinkable by means Of
ozone, which in the presence of water
acts as very powerful bactericide.

WENT TO JAIL FOR LOVE

Woman Takes All the Blame for
Murder Her Fiance Committed.
The supreme court of Mexico has
asked President Diaz to pardon Maria
Montesi.los, who, some time ago, was
sentenced to 90 years imprisonment
IA Belem jail for a murder she never
committed. The crime for which she is
suffering punishment was the killing
of Pascaul Montafio, in family quar-
rel. Miss Mcntesiilos' lover. Piquinto
Torres, was the real murderer, but be-
cause she loved him Maria was willing
to take the penalty. She took al the
blame for the murder and during the
preliminary inquiry by the third crini
nal judge. and afterward at the trial
by jury, stout!y maintained that she,
and she alone, was responsible for the
death of Montafio. whom she had killed,
she said, 10 free herself from his con-
staat courtsAip and dishcnora Bile
propositions. Torres, therefore, got
off scot free, and the woman, as the
murder was considered. to have been
committed under aggravated eircun-
stances. was sentenced TO 20 years in
prison, a sentence which she cheerfuIly
accepted. But Torres, when he got
out, was unfaitkful, and jealousy then
proved too much for Maria when she
learned Of this. She presented the
clearest proof that she was innocent
and Torres guilty. and showed letters
from him to that effect. Her first at
tempt to secure relief was made before
the superior tribunal and was unsuc-
cessfu!, but the supreme court has just
set aside hat decision and asked Presi-
dent Diaz to grant her freedom.

They May kiss the Pretty Cashier.

Perhaps the most extraordinary Gus
tom in connection with restaurant life
is that which obtains in certain lit
tie cafe in the suburbs of Paris, where
every customer whose bill amounts to
two francs (about So cents) or over that
sum is entitled to receive a kiss from
the very attractive young lady who acts
as cashier to the establishment. So
used has the damsel become to the os-
culatory routine that she goes through
it without the slightest reticence, look
ing upon it purely as a matter of bust
ness, and it is reported that the pro-
prietor of the restaurant is more than
satisfied with the result of his curious
device for attracting patrons.
