His Hair IN Danger.

A young artist whose pipe, eyeglasses
and luxuriant blond hair have made
him we'll known in town went to a
garden I,arty not SO much for social
amusement as for pencil studies of high
life. He wore tall hat, frook coat and
lavender trousers and carried sketch
ing block yard square. At the party
his epigrams, paradoxes and fiendish
silvery laugh overwhelmed, as he in
tended all the girls in sight or hearing,
but he got through with his social du
ties as speedily as might be, then went
and sat down on distant fence.
Soon pencil studies lay all around
him on the grass. Suddenly he felt q
gentle tug at his back hair. He thought,
''That is como fresh Alec trying to guy
me- " and he did not look up. The gen
tie tugging ceased, began again, became
much stronger, and then he felt some
thing wet, soft, Shiny, on his neck. With
dreadful oath he leaped from the fence
and looked behind him. Back there was
smart trap, in which sat two girls and
young man laughing. The horses were
close to the fence, and it was one Of
these that had commenced browsing on
the artists profuse locks. Explanations
followed and apologies. "All flesh, the
artist said, is grass, but not all hair. )"

Pnrussixe Oil.

Oils, animal, vegetable and mineral,
are second in Importance to but few do
nestle articles Of commerce. Already
incidentally invaluable in the bygone
ages OF hand labor. lubricants have be-
come almost a condition of existence in
this century of machinery, and Of all
oils porpoise oil is the finest, the most
difficult to obtain, almost the most cost
Iy The difficulty, be it incidentally re-
marked, lies not in expressing the oil
from the porpoise, but in catching the
porpoise itself. These cetaceans, like the
fish they prey on, are most uncertain in
their movements, at one time playing
by the week in our very harbors at 9th
ers staying whole month far from the
coast. An ecoscmic and reliable method
If obtaining regular supply of por-
poises from our seas would be worth a
fortune.
At present their capture is no more
than accidental. PROPOSES are known to
venture into salmon estuaries during
spring food tides, returning to salt wa
ter with the ebb, and, as an improve
ment OH the present casual supply sys-
tenn, strong rope nets might be cast at
tho mouths Of these estuaries to inter
cept the invaders as they leave. Prob
ably, howeyg. the ultimate solution
will DO found in tho rife and some par
ticular cartridge, preferably fronted with
soft. hollow iegd to fatten in the crea-
lures ribs. 1t may be that even with q
fatal bullet the difficulty is not ended,
for it has not yet been shown whether,
when fatally hit, the porpoise sinks or
floats. London Spectator.

Some EXTRAORDINARY Mothers.

Probably the youngest grandmother
of whom we have record was Lady
Child Of Shropshire, England. She had
married at 10 years of age and had a
child before her thirteenth year was
completed. This child in turn married
while still very young, with the result
that Lady Child was grandmother at
81. The most extraordinary cases Of
motherhood were those of Mrs. Honey
wood of Charing, in Kent, and Lady
Temple Of Stow. When the former died,
on May 10, 1890, aged 90, she counted
as her descendants 16 children, ia
grandchildren, 228 great.grandchildren
and 0 great-great-grandchildren. The
other case was even more remarkable.
Lady Temple. who died in 1866, had

WILLIAMs, MEN EXPLAIN.
Reason of Recent Action of Buy State
 Democratic Convention.

Boston, Sept. 27.-The executive com mittee of the democratic state commit tee has issued statement to the dem ocrats of the state in explanation of its action in requiring that delegates to the national convention should be chosen at the recent state convention. It explains that the last legislature made provil sion for the holding of caucuses in the state and prescribed that only one off cial caucus should be held by any po- litical party for state or national pur- poses (section 2, chapter 246, acts of lS99). It claims that this law compelled the state convention to include in it's call for the recent state convention the election of delegates to choose the de e. gates to next years national conven- tion. Such election in the spring is not now authorized by the caucus provision or the state law. The state committee was unit in adopting this plans, and considers that the action of the conven- tion is satisfactory verdict upon it's policy. The committee refutes the charge that the convention was packed.

No line could be had on Pennsylvania defensive play because the Franklin and Mar shall team seldom had the ball. With the exception of two plays Pennsylva mia showed up very weak in interfer- ence.

M'COY WHIPS M'CORMICK.
Phf1adelphtan smothered and Made to
 Look Like a Novice.

New York, Sept 27.-Charles (Kid) Mccoy clearly proved to 4.OO0 persons tonight that Jack Mccormick of Phil adelphia won by a fluke a few weeks ago in Chicago when he knocked Me Coy out. They met a catch weights in the Lenox Athletic club for a twenty round go and Mccoy reversed matters in a thorough manner. He smothered the big wrestler and made him look like a novice. He sent him down sev- eral times, but Mccormick also lay down several times without receiving a punch, He also transgressed the rules by holding and wrestling and was frequently cautioned. He feigned grog- gy couple of times and tried to catch Mccoy off his guard, but Mccoy was not to be fooled, He would certainly have put Mccormick to sleep had the big fellow stood up and fought like man. The specta tors became disgusted with McCormicks actions and so did Referee Charley White, who sent him to his corner in the eighth round on account of his dropping and declared Mccoy the winner. There was very little betting done on the big bout. Me Coy was the favorite, as much as 100 to 30 being offered on him with only a few takers. Even money was wagered that the bout would not last ten rounds and few good bets were made at these odds. Mccoy was first to enter the ring. Mccormick, looking twice as big as the Kid, arrived five minutes later. While the gloves were being adjusted Peter Maher issued challenge to the winner of the bout. The men were an- nounced to go twenty rounds at catch weights under Queensbury rules
