At Mme. Pntti,n Cnatle.

Visiting Mime. Paeti's superb castle i'll Wales, a guest not long since had very curious experience. He chanced to open his window in the middle of the night, and, to his surprise, bells began to ring in every quarter of the grounds Very much scared, but realizing that he had, after all, only set a burglar alarm going, the guest descended to reassure the household, when he instantly found himself in danger from a dozen rowing dogs, who had obtained their freedom and were growing and snapping in the ugliest manner. At breakfast next morning he learned all about the cu- rious fad of Mime. Patti, and wondered at t.
 The singer has a great dread of bur glars. Some time ago a gang of these gentlemen from London attempted to obtain admittance, but were defeated in their object. and since that date Mme Patti has set up every kind of burglar alarm that exists. The queer spart about one of these is, however. well worth noticing. Her largest dog, aR enormous brute who might be relied on to cope with little army of thieves, is kept vigorously chained in a patent kennel. But the chain is so arranged that should any one attempt to open a window or door in the castle the dog is released and free to rove at his pleasure, it being presumed that he would at once make for the burglars and do his duty. The idea is ingenious, and, as the traveller discovered, not a little dangerous.

INEBRlETY AMONG ANIMALS.
Monkeys, Rats, Birds and Even Insects Love
 Intoxicants.

 Monkeys, Rats, Birds and Even Insects Love
 Intoxicants.
 It is a curious fact that there are topers innumerable in the animal king dom. Bipeds and quadrupeds alike are fond of alcoholic drinks and al- though some display aversion when first tasting liquor. they soon acquire 9 cravins for it.
 Chtcl a.d ducks, after having once tasted ta.ssy. become absolute slaves to the drink They refuse to eat, grow thin and exhibit symptoms of dejeetion when unable to obtain their favorite tipple.
 Monkeys and apes are passionately fond of spirituous liquors. Of these, Buffon's wine-bibbing chimpanzee was a shining example, and Brehm, the German zoologist, owned several man. drills that drank wine regularly and did not disdain brandy.
 Herbiyorous animals frequently be- come intoxicated, innocently enough, through eating decaying fruit. In orchards oxen and cows, after eating overripe apples, have been seen to dis play all the symptoms of drunkenness. They stagger, their eyes lose expres- sion, and they grow sleepy.
 It seems that animals are susceptible to alcoholism in proportion to the de- velopment of their intelligence. Ele- plants are fond of wine and rum, and rats gnaw the slaves of wine casks to get at the contents. Cats, however, rarely exhibit fondness for intoxi- cants.
 Among birds the parrot takes first place as an habituaI toper. Insects have many opportunities to become in- toxicated, and it is the most active that most frequently avail themselves of the chance. There is an aromatic, intoxicating fluid in linden blossoms for which bees show an especial fond ness.
 Instances have been observed where swarms of bees regaled themselves with the poisonous linden nectar un- til they exhibited all the signs of in- toxication. Hundreds fell helplessly to the roadside to be trampled under foot.

PoLlCEMAN's UNHAPPY LOT
Some Sage Remarks by an Officer Who
 Knew Whereof He Spoke.

The downtown policeman was in a reminiscent mood. Yes" he said, never go before a man when you are arresting him, and whatever you do, never precede him when you are going down flight of stairs. was walking my beat one dark night when I heard cries of murder coming from tene- ment house. Running to the place, I saw great hulk Of fellow beating his wife, who was screaming and shouting in mortal terror. At the sight of me the fellow ran upstairs, and I went af- ter him. The stairway leading from the upper floor to the kitchen below was a very narrow affair, and it was impossible for two to walk abreast. So. with my prisoner at arms length to the rear, 1 went down the flight There was an old-fashioned door at the bot tom Of the staircase, and I had hardly opened it when something hit me a Whack on the head like a load of bricks falling from @ seven-story roof At the same time a shrill female voice shriek- ed out: There, you brute, you will strike a defenseless woman, will you? and again she raised a long, heavy iron poker, which she held in her hand to strike me As she looked up she saw her mistake. but too late to check her sinewy right, which was twirling through the air. Down came the poker again Bang 1t didn't do a thing to my helmet, and l saw more stars at that time than ever did on a bright night in August. Holy motheri' shriek- ed out the woman. when she saw what she had done, I've struck the cop and thought it was Jimmy I was bateing. To make my cup of sorrow more bitter the next morning the woman swore that her husband always treated her kindly, and that I had no right to in terfere while Jimmy vas giving her only what she deserved. Yes, whatever people may say, a policeman's lot is DO bed of roses.

A traveller tells of treasure chambers in Bagdad that rival the tales of the Arabian Nights" Among these null t-millionaires are the Sassoons, whose banking firm exercises the functions of a great power throughout Asia. Some members of this family have be- come Europeanized, having established themselves in London, and one of them Is married to Rothschild. A pass port signed Sassoon is a safe conduct throughout the widest regions of the Himalayas, through Afghanistan or Persia or Thibet. They deal with the chiefs of all the wandering tribes, such transactions being mostly on horlor. The idea of failing the Sassoons is en- tertained with as much dread and hor- TOT as death.

THE INDIAN FIGHTER
INDIVIDUAL FIGHTING HIS STYLE, AND
 TIME HASN'T CHANGED IT.

It Is Seldom That an Order Is Given
 Him in BattIe-The United states Reg.
 uIar Knows His Traits and Is au Ex-
 pert at the Game.
 The Indian method of fighting, as shown at Leech Lake, is a unique type of warfare and as such is a subject of great interest to foreign military men. The United States regular soldier is an expert at it, and has learned to fight the Indian as the Indian fights him. Military attaches sent by foreign gov crnments to observe the Spanish-Amer- ican war asked many questions from American officers on this topic, and considered the veteran Indian fighter. represented by such men as Generals Chaffee and Kent, as one of the best types of soldiers.
 Individual fighting is the Indian style. It was so in the days before the revolution, and century has not chang ed it. The Indian has adopted many innovations taught him by the white man. He usually wears "store clothes" in these days and lives in a house, even if it is only a log hut. But he fights as his forefathers did, seeking to gain an advantage over his foe by ambush or some other form of strategy. The Indian who can hide behind a rock or tree and shoot down an unsuspecting foe who is passing is considered much more of a hero than one who will fight in the open and die bravely facing the enemy.
 Indians on the warpath are com- manded by chiefs, who are generally elected at council fire These chiefs are usually the heads of large families and command squads of from twenty to 100 men, composed of their brothers, sons, cousins and other relatives. One of the chiefs is known as the Great Chief" and is usually given this rank for prowess in war or hunting. He oc- cupies something like the same relation to the forces under him that a general or colonel has in the United States army, but his authority is much more restricted and is exercised only in rare cases.
 The usual method in a fight, such as that at Leech Lake, is for the chief to advance and his men to follow him, keeping near enough to see his move ments and acting in conformity with them. When the foe approaches with in range general firing begins, one of the chiefs usually setting the example. When his men see him fire they fire. too, and so the rattle of the gun be- comes general.
 It is seldom that an order is given to an Indian in battle. He follows his chief, picking out individual foes and fighting them individually. His seant commissary and quartermaster's are engagements are attended to by squaws.
 The United States regular, when fighting Indians, adopts their tactics only when the Indians are near. The skirmish formation is then nsed and the men dodge behind trees or rocks, but they listen for and quickly ahey orders of their officers. If hard press ed they usually assemble and throw up hasty intrenchments, where they eaH pour a collective fire into any foe that may attack them.

The Lndrones.

Discovered in 1521.
 Pure water abounds.
 A chain of volcanic islands.
 Spain took possession in 1868.
 Mountain range from 1000 to 5000 feet.
 Eight thousand five hundred inhabi- tants.
 Chief products cocoanut and bread fruit.
 The account given by Dampier of the remarkable bread fruit tree follows: "A certain fruit, called the bread fruit, growing on a tree as big as our large apple trees, with dark leaves. The fruit is round and grows on the boughs like apples of the bigness of a good penny loaf. When ripe it turns vel low. soft and sweet, but the natives take it green and bake it in an oven till the rind is black. This they scrape off and eat the inside, which is soft and white like the inside of new baked bread, having neither seed nor stone, but if it is kept above 24 hours it is harsh.

 4 Powerful Dog.

There is powerful breed of dogs along Smiths sound that does not hes tate to attack the most feroeious wild animals. These dogs hunt in pairs and big bear is a joke to them. One dog can bring down reindeer and kill It in few minutes. Their thick coat is tawny in hue and in winter thick fleece of wool covers them. They look so much like wolves it is hard to tell what they are at little distance.
