SNORING.
D Traveller Says That Savages DO

Traveller Says That Savages DO
Not Have the Accomplishment.
"Snoring may be inconveniently obtru.
sive in sleeping car" said the expe.
rienced traveller, but it is just as much
a mark Of n high stage Of civilization as
is the sleeping car itself. You may take
it for fact that all the wild and inferior
races do hot snore. The doctrine of the
survival of the fttest gets in its work
right there, and the savage person who
vocalizes his sleep stands a very good
chance Of learning that snoring is nor
good for the health. Suppose you are q
very savage person out on the warpath
in country full Of your enemies. You
take every precaution against discovery,
covering your trail and selecting your
camp so as to battle ordinary search.
That's all right, but il you snore it's all
wrong. An eneLnY who hears the sound
will make investigations, and the result
is fatal always and frequently uncomfort-
able.
II have been great deal among wild
people, both in this country and else
where, and l know that they do not snore.
Once had one of these government pro-,
fessors with me. He was a very wise

than they did themselves, but he would
snore TO beat the band. Like most peo-
pie whose slumbers are orchestrated, he
denied the fact, and we should never have
convinced him of what the rest Of US had
every reason to know il it had not been
for one little circumstance. One night
we made our camp right in village Of
the savages. They were peaceful enough.
and we were in no particular danger.
Still, as they were wild people. 1t was
just as well to keep some sort Of watch
on their movements
"Weil, the professor rolled himself up
in his blanket and soon was snoring like
a good fellow. After awhile felt that
there were people about, aud lifted my.
self up on my elbow tV see what was up.
I'm blessed if pretty near the whole outfit
of the savages hadn't left their own
houses and squatted down on the grass
where they could look into our camp and
see what was going on. 1t was the first
time in all their lives they had ever heard
man snore, and they did not know what
to make of 1t, or rather they thought
they did, for they sized it up that some
one of the gods was communicating via
the white men.
"It's never very safe to monkey with
the religious opinions Of the savages. so

CANNIBALIsM AT SEA.
Story Of the Safe rings of seamen
Cast Adrift OF Florida Coast.

Cast Adrift OF Florida Coast.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept 3.-Capt
Milburn, OF the British steamship Wood
ruff, from Hamburg, brought in a fearful
story of shiDWreck and cannibaliSm at
sea. On the steamer We're Morris Ander
sen and Goodman Thomas, seamen from
the Norwegian bark Drot, which was
wrecked off the straits of Florida on Aug.
II. The bark carried a crew of seventeen
men.
The vessel was split midship by the
storm, and the captain and eight of the
crew were lost. Eight others fought for
possession of a raft, once a part of the
bark, and they stuck to this with the
storm raging ali the while. The raft
broke in two, two of the men being left
on one section, and the two RATS sepa-
rated. After the storm the six men on
the larger raft found themselves without
water or food. One sailor had a fishing
line, and for day or more the crew lived
on raw fish, but this source Of obtaining
food was gone when the fisherman,
crazed by his condition, jumped over
board and was drowned.
Subsequently two of the survivors be-
came i'll. 1t was seen that they would
die, and their companions watched them.
When the bodies began to grow cold and
clammy, the veins of the two were opened
and the three survivors began sucking
the blood. Afterward particles of the
flesh were eaten. In the meantime the
raft was surrounded by drove of sharks
fighting to overturn it and reach the live
men and the dead. The two bodies were
cast overheard. but this made the sharks
fight all the more.
The sailors became almost craZed for
the want of food and water, and finally
lots were drawn to see who should die
for the others. The toss fell to a Ger
man, a strapping fellow, whose name is
unknown. He submitted willingly. His
breast was barred and his heart was
opened for the blood to trickle out. This
was drunk with eagerness by Andersen
and Thomas. The heart was cut out and
eaten with other parts of the flesh.
When the two now half-demented devils
were thirsting for blood second time,
they agreed to draw lots again, but the
steamer Woodruff sDied the raft and
picked them W.

body was. such that if a Cagot held
some grass or fruit in his hand it dried
up and withered, and even in winter he
could bear no covering on his bed. They
were specially licentious, hot tempered,
ccvetous, naughty, sinfully proud, and
pretentious. At certain phases of the
moon their skin became red and scaly,
obliging them to use a decoction of ivy
leaves with which to battle it.
All these facts proved that the Cagots
were dangerous and terrible people, who
must not be allowed to consider them
selves equal to their purer brethren, but
must be constantly reminded of their in
ferior condition. duty which the pious
cCuntryfolk undertook and carried out
with great conscientiousness, helped by
law and church. A Cagot was forbidden
to carry any weapon of defense, which
In those days of blood and iron reduced
a man at once to the condition of serf,
and made it impossible for him to hold
his own against the brutal and clustering
man at arms. The churches could not
be closed to them, but the priests forced
them to enter the holy place by a sepa-
rate door, so low that the accused ones
were forced to bend their heads to pass
through. There was a special CagOt
holy water stoup and an imaginary line
or boundary in the church, across which
no Cagot might venture. To this day
the descendants of this couple are peas
ants.

about this time of year there is plenty
of work for seal finishers or girls who
know how to sew sealskin ard other
furs." said a leading New York furrier
recently. THE employment OF girls in
this sort of work is comparatively recent.
A few years ago the cutting and sewing
OF fur skins was mainly done by men.
Sometimes a man would teach lis wife
or his daughter but men monopoliZed the
! best work and earned good wages There
IS skin cutter now working as a jour
neyman in this city who is said to be
worth SOS, 000, and yet works his regular
hours. He has introduced several genera
lions of his family into enc or another
branch of the business.
"Of late Vears the sharp competition
which has got into the fur business, as
we'll as ether lines Of trade, has led to
increased employment of females as sew
ers The work is nice and requires a good
deal of skill The smooth, even color Of
a lady's sealsFin coat are not produced
without a god deal of patient skill and
deXterity OF course, skins do not come
perfect. There are slight blemishes that
must be corrected. The skillful cutter
takes skin and blows the hair aside I'M
til he can see the roots all ever the skin.
If he finds spot that IS bare of hair he
must select piece of skin to fit 1t, and
the hair must be exactly of the right
length. On q seal the i:air near the tail
is shorter than the hair near the head
OF course, a piece of fur from near the
tail will not fit bare spot near the head
OF the skin. The cutter has d peculiar
method of shaping the pieces to be set
in, and this must be understood by the
girls who do the sewing, SO that a girl
who has worked at the business becomes
expert, and a girl who mas not served any
apprenticeship at sewing turs is of little
use in the shop.
1T is no unusual thtrg for one large
establishment TO have fifty or sixty girls
sewing furs in the busy season of the
summer The most expert girls readily
get employment the year round. Willie
these who are less expert are the first TO
be discharged, and go from shop to shop.
The wages earned arc somewhat higher
than the prices paid for ordinary sewing.
as the business is somewhat unhealthy
and requires considerable SKILL The
girls earn from 50 to $40 per week."

Frederick H. Zahn Saturday evening
shot and dangerously wounded Edwin A
Hart on the lawn in front of the Zahn
cottage at Excelsior Lake Minnetonka.
Hart is a locomotive engineer, whose
home is at Los Angeles, Cal. He IS
spending the summer with his sister
and brother-in-law, A. T. Morse. Jeal-
ousy over an intimacy which Zahn is said
to have imagined existed between his
wife and Hart caused the shooting Zahn
fired twice from the porch of his cot
tage down at Hart who was standing
on the sidewalk. The first shot passed
over Harris head.
You're not very good shot" said
he coolly.
Zahn fired again. This time the bull
let struck Hart in the left shoulder,
striking the bone and glancing down.

You done better that time You hit
me-" said Hart, who then walked away
After reaching home Hart had DR..
Schrode summoned and the latter dress
ed the wound, but was unable to locate
the bullet He stated, however, that
no serious results were to be feared I'M
less blood poisoning should set in.
Mrs. Zahn spent the night at the Morse
residence and yesterday went TO the La
Paul house. She has telegraphed for her
relatives in the East to come to her
Zahn remained at home Saturday night
and yesterday is supposed to have taken
a boat across the lake and to have come
to the city. He was seen about town
during the late afternoon. A warrant
was sworn out at Excelsior for his ar
rest and, although the Minneapolis po-
lice were notified of the affair yesterday
forenoon, it was not until after o clock
last night that notice was received that
Zahn was wanted.
The Zahns are well known in Mime
apohs he having been in the tailoring
business in this city for many years. He
was formerly located in the West hotel,
but of recent years he has had his store
at Is Lumber Exchange building. All
parties to the affair are we'll along in
years, Hart being a man fifty years OF
ago, while Mr.. and Mrs. Zahn have a
grown-up son. Friends deny that any
intimacy other than an ordinary ac-
quaintance existed between Hart and
Mrs. Zahn.
