TENNEssEANs ON A CHARGE.
Routed the Filipinos When the Regulars
Failed to Move Them.

The following is from a descrip-
tion of one of the skirmishes at
Manila as published by the San
Francisco Chronicle:
"The regulars could not dislodge
some Filipinos from a network of
blind trenches one day, and two
companies of the Tennessee regi-
ment were sent around to flank the
natives out of their position. Not
until they had approached almost
to the trenches did the Tennessee
ans make their presence known,
Then with a wild yell they swooped
upon the Filipinos and chased them
out in no time. The Tennessee
boys are the best yellers in the
Philippines. We were five miles
away, but we heard that yell and
knew it was the Tenneesseans on a
charge"

The Laughing Plant of Arabia.
 The laughing plant grows in Ara bia. It obtains its name from the ef- fleets produced Dy eating it's seeds. The natives of the district where the plant grows dry these seeds and reduce them to powder. A small dose of this powder has similar effects to those arising from the excessive use of in toxicants. It causes the most sober person to dance, shout, and laugh, with the boisterous excitement of a madman, and to rush about cutting the most ridiculous capers for about an hour. At the expiration of this exhaustion sets in and the excited per- son falls asleep, to wake after several hours with no recollection of his an- tics.

1t will undoubtedly be a good while
before the time-saving proposition Of
correspondent of the New York Sun
viii be generally adopted His idea
is in order to save time in reading, to
have the lines read from right TO left
and left to right alternately SO that
no time shall be lost in skipping back
across the column each time. Among
his Illustrations of the idea he gives
the following arrangement of famil-
lar stanza:
Mary had little lamb,
Snow as white was fleece its,
And every place that Mary went,
Go TO sure was lamb the
More time would likely be wasted in
getting used to it than would be
saved by its adoption.
The legislature Of 1897 appropriated
nearly $4,000 to pay the claims of
certain "Home Guards" for alleged
services during the Civil War. This
money was paid over to one L. e.
McWhorter, of Charleston, by the
Governor, to be distributed to the
men. tits charged that Mr.. Nc
Whorter has only distributed por-
tion Of the fund, and the remainder
is still in his hands. 1t is also charg-
by some OF the men who had claims
to be paid out of this fund, that Nc
Whorter offered to pay their claims of
at "a discount of one third OF the
alaofnt due, they to receipt in full Of
the claim for that amount. Many Of
the men have accepted the two thirds
in full payment, while Others have
received nothing. At the late
session of the legislature, the
House passed resolution to ap-
point a committee to Investigate
the matter, but the Republican Sem
ate refused to pass the resolution.
To appropriate the money at the start
was bad enough, and they did not
care to stir the stencil up any more.

A ROPE OF Fri
The Curious Procession That Nay De
Seen In Norway Forests.

In the deep pine forests of Norway
the woodcutters sometimes find Il SER
pentine object nearly so feet long
crawling slowly ove the ground. If
they did lot know that it was made
up of millions Of little worms, they
might be frightened by it's peculiar
appearance. These worms, called the
scinra, gather during July and August
in large numbers preparatory to mi
grating in search of food or for change
of condition. When setting out on
this journey, they stick themselves
together and form Il huge scrpentlike
mass, often reaching a length of be-
between 40 and SO feet and several
inches in thickness.
AS the sciara is only on an average
about three t~hirty-scconds of an inch
in length and barely wider than n fine
needle, the number required to COM
pose u line of the size above men,
toned is enormous. Their pace is
very slow, and upon meeting an OBJ
stacle, such as q stick or stone, they
will either writhe over or around it,
sometimes breaking into two bodies
for this purpose.
NJ. Gueriu-Meneville, q celebrated
French naturalist, says that If the real
portion Of this wonderful snakelike
procession be brought into contact
with the front part and a sort of circle
formed the insects will keep moving
round and round in that circle for
hours and hours without apparently
noticing that they are not getting on
in their journey. II the procession
be broken in two, the portions will re-
unite in q short time.
The Norwegian PEASANTS, when they
meet n of these trains, will lay some
article Of their clothing, such as a belt
Dr. handkerchief, on the ground in
front Of it. II the procession passes
over 1t, 1t is regarded as a good sign;
but IL 1t makes a way round, the re-
verse is believed.-Chicago Record.

Progress of the Catholic Church.

We noticed not very long ago, by the
efforts of their Jealous pastor, Rev. j.
E. Cartier, the Catholic congregation
of Hot Springs, have bought the pro-
perty in the lower town from the
school board, doing all they could in
order to celebrate in their own church,
Lately it was painted anew and it is
now one of the incest and neatest lit.
tie churches in the Hills.
We are very thankful for such an
improvement as we can see that they
are trying to make Hot Springs an at
tractive and cosy little city.

give an opportunity to every CHART.
able soul to help, they are undertaking
to have an ice cream festival on Aug.
ust Is, at the city hail and we hope
that everyone will show their appre.
citation and thanks for the labor dis.
played by not missing such a chance
as being present at the festival.
1t is to be hoped that all the others
will initiate their example and do their
best in working in money for the good
and the development Of our resort
which is one of the best in the Black
Hills.
Let us not forget the date, August

E GOLD o

Localities where tf.c Precious Metal
Deposits Itself Annually.
There are several localities where
gold may be said to grow every year
or, in other words, where fresh depos-
its of the precious metal are. to be
found annually.
One such district is in the Edmonton
country, in the Canadian northwest.
where. after the spring floods, from the
same banks and %.'benches" Of the Sass
katchewan river there are taken every
year considerable quantities of gold by
a few diggcrs, who make their living
out Of the business.
But the most conspicuous and inter-
esting case Of this sort is to be seen
near Ichang, in the province of Hupeh,
in China. For many centuries past
each yenr gold has been washed from
the banks of coarse gravel on both
sides of the river Han, and in the
midst Of the auriferous district there
is an ancient town called Li-kiu-tien,
which means gold diggers' inn" It's
inhabitants subdivide the gold bearing
ground among themselves annually,
stalking out their claims with parti-
lions. They pay nc royalty and ap-
pear to earn no more than a bare sub
sistence. But this may be doubted, az
John Chinaman is an adept at "layin
low and sayin nuffin."
The annual river floods bring down
millions of tons of mud and sand from
the mountains, and this mud and sand,
which is charged with gold, both "fine''
and in fakes, is deposited to a depth
Of six inches or more on the banks Of
gravel. 1t is in the winter that the
gold is washed, and it is said that se~.
en- men work about 20 tons of ''pay
dirt" in q day.-Clncinnati Enquirer.
