COURAGEOUS ANIMALS.
The American Fisher and the Indian NIongOOsc Are Notable
 Examples.

| In North America one of the largest of the weasel family is the fisher" q very large, long-fuIred polecat, living
 mainly by the waterside. and like many others of the tribe, very partial to fish. It weighs about 16 pounds. and it's long. richly coiored fur is exported in great quantities to different parts of Europe, though not often used in this country. A trapped fisher will attack anyone who comes within reach of the trap chain. and when free will beat off any dog of twice it's size But perhaps the most striking example of the courage of the smaller species yet recorded is that shown by a small va riety of jungle eat known as the fishing cat, which. though no relation to the Canadian fisher is quite as coura- geous. One of these, which was kept in a menagerie, broke through into the Eext cage, and there attacked and killed a leopard which was three times its own size.
 The Indian mongoose possesses all :he courage of the polecat. together with amiability and a ''reguiateG" mind. It turns it's pluck and prowess to good ends. and we imagine it to stand at the head of the list of the smaller animals if quality as well as quantity is demanded as mark of in trepidity. There is no doubt that the mongoose realizes the deadly nature of the cobra's bite. Its intense excite ment is strong evidence of this. But a mongoose has been known to fight just as bravely against other foes. One was seen to attack and drive off a large greyhound which it fancied was hos tile to it.-London Spectator.

vert by in the states" What we com monly call public opinion-the cut-and- dried decision on social and civic ques- tions-is made up in the house. It IS essentially feminine in it's origin, the opinion of householders as to how men should behave. In California there is little which corresponds to the social atmosphere prevailing the snug. white painted, green-6linGed New England villages, and this little exists chiefly ill communities of people transported thither in blocl1-traditions, conven- tionalities, prejudices and all. There is. in general. TO merit attached to con- formity. and one may take 2 wide range of rope without necessarily arousing distrust. Speaking broadly. in CalI- fornia the virtues Of life spring from within, and are not prescribed from without.

his fate Next morning the rooster was perched high in tree. apparently stiff and stark. The owner was con- science-stricken. "L ought 10 have gone out after dark and got him. He froze 10 death last night and l am to blame. l have got to get pole and knock him out of that tree. l shall be arrested for cruelty" he said to his wife. So he went out, armed with a couple of sticks of wood. says the Lew iston (Me.) Journal.
 These he threw at the frozen rooster for an hour without success, and q good-sized crowd Of neighbors stood about. suggesting ways 10 get the bird down. One went and got a revolver and shot away at il for some time. but the bird still sat there. immovable. it's head canted little, and it's eyes look ing bleary. You internal copper! Do you expect to knock frozen bird out of a tree with a revolver? The bullets would go right through it, and not budge it."
 After half an hour of these vain att tempts the wife of one of the neigh bors came out with a long-handled broom, and, waving it, said ''Sh-sh-sh- sh-sh." Up flew the rooster. growing loudly, and lit upon the ell of the house, and finally, after a victorious crow, settled down into the barn door, and ran in among the hens.

THE HEMP INDUSTRY.
It Has Lost It's Former POsitiO" Among American Rural
 Industries.

The hemp industry is already estab- lished, though it should be extended in order 10 recover it's lost position among American rural industries. Where in the past we produced 10000 tons of hemp in. the United States we TOW produce less than a fifth of this quantity. The cultivation of flax in the United States before the days of the present factory system was so wide spread that it was of national impor- tance. It's manufacture was largely a home industry, however, conducted by the tireside. and as in ancient Greece and Rome. the work was performed by the women of the household. With khe advent of the factory system came com petition; the housewife laid aside her spinning wheel, the clumsy homemade loom fell into disuse. and the farmer grew no more flax fiber. Then the flax seed industry was extended and after the close of the war large. demand sprang up for coarse fiber for the toughest of uses-for bagging and up- holstery, in connection with hemp and hundreds of little tow mills came into existence in the middle and west ern states.-C. R. Dodge, in Appletons' Popular Science Monthly.

A MANS STATE.
California May Yet De Blessed ns One Of Earth's Male
 Lands.

California is emphatically one of ''earth's Diale lands.' to accept Brown ing's classification. The first Saxon settlers were men. and in their rude civ ilization women had no part. For years women in California were objects of curiosity or of chivalry, disturbing rather than cementing influences in society. Even yet California is essen tially q mars state. It is common to say that public opinion does not ex- ist there; but such statement is not wholly correct. II does exist, but 1t is an out-of-door opinion-a 1nan's view Of men. There is. for example. strong opinion about hypocrisy in Cal ifornia, as more than one clerical rene gade has found to his discomfiture.

A PERSEVERANCE TEST.
The Western Unions Way of Dealing with Female Applicants for
 Employment.

Many girls are employed at the West ern Union Telegraph company's main office in filing dispatches and other work requiring no great skill. Now, although they get only the current wages of worksers in such employ ments, there are always many appli- cants for every vacancy. Tn view of this fact the company has adopted an interesting method of dealing with ap- plications. Every girl applying is ques- toned as 10 her age. education and res idence. Furthermore, her height is taken. The facts as to the applicant are then filed for future reference, and she is advised in case she is really anx- ious for q place to return at the end of four months should she not hear from the company before that time. The reasons for this advice is that the list of applications is destroyed every four months, says the New York Sun.
 Many applicants never come a sec ond time; some, however, come sec ond. third or even fourth time, and, although the officers of the company hold out no special hope to any appli- cant, they do say that here, as else where, perseverance often succeeds. The requirement that the applicant shall appear in person each time is m ingenious means of wedding out those applicants that lack the perseverance, which. other things being equal, is like ly 10 make q girl more useful to the company than a girl with less Of that quality,

TOWN THAT CURES BALDNEss
Those Who Go Away nnd Lose Tn cir

"If had money" said q Norristown man. according to the Philadelphia Rec ord, "I'd exploit the little village of Waretown, on Barnegat bay. Ware
 town is not wonderful on account of it's excellent fishing and gunning, but on account of it's power of curing bald ness. Call me, if you will, a liar, but the fact remains that not a bald-head- ed man is 10 be found within five miles of Waretown, and any bald stranger who goes there 10 live and just gets out bareheaded as often as possible, on the bay and in the black grass mead ows, begins 10 thatch up right away, and in a year has q crop that isn't a thing but smooth! When I was down last, in '95, met a man named Henry Camburn-you know they're all Cam burns pretty much down there. We'll.

 Twice had he lived away from Ware town and got bald. but he came back each time. and so did his hair. l believe that the pure, strong winds. that smell of pines and the sea cause this thing, and if l had money I would get to- gether colony of baldheads, take them down to Waretown, keep them out all day. and every day fishing in the summer, Gucking in the winter without any hats. and in year would discharge them cured. l could easily charge them $100O a head.

SERGEANT WAS VERY TIRED.
Did Not Have Time to Spell Out thu Full Name of the Chief
 of Police.

He was up before the trial board on a charge of laziness. He was a desk sergeant from a west side police sta were that he was always exceedingly tired, that he loafed over his desk, and, indeed, that he was so grievously af- tiicted with ennui that he would not spell out in full the longer words in making reports of daily occurrences to the general superintendent of police, a duty which fell to his lot as desk ser geant, but was much given to the ha bit of abbreviation. This, it seems, says 0 Chicago exchange, had been a constant source of worry and an- noyance to the captain in command of the station, and when repeated warn ings were of no effect charges were pre- ferred and he was brought before the tribunal, composed of the chief and the inspectors of police. The story of his shortcomings and short spellings was told in detail and as a clincher his cap tain said:
 Why, chief, this man is so lazy that when he makes out a report instead of addressing it to Joseph Ripley, Gener- al Superin tendent,' he writes Jos Kip, Gen Supe.' If he came to the word phil anthropy' in a report he would make it phil and you couldn't tell whether it was philanthropy or Phil Daly." . On this arraignment, it is needless to say, the sergeant was found guilty and promptly disciplined.

In the hospital at Addis Abeba attached 10 the Russian mission, he is continual ly watching the surgeons at their work. Their skill often calls from him expres- sions of admiration.

HEAVY DEFICIT LAST MONTH
Expenditures More and Revenue Less
Than Preceding One.

Expenditures More and Revenue Less
Than Preceding One.
New York, May "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: Treas
ury receipts for April fell $15, 400, 600
below those for March, while the ex-
penditures were $22. 800, 900 more than
those for the month previous.
This great difference does not, how
ever, indicate either large falling off
in the ordinary receipts or large in
crease in the ordinary expenditures.
The receipts for March were increased
by the payment to the government OF
nearly $12, 900, 900, on account of Pa
cifc railway settlement, while the ex-
penditures for April were increased by
the drawing of the warrants for the
payment of $40, 900, 600. 900 to Spain.
Leaving out of account these two
items. the receipts for March were only
about S., 900. 900 larger than those for
April, and the expenditures for the
latter month were less than $4,000, 600
greater than those for March. Not
withstanding that the interest pay
ments for April were Sal, GIL, 587, and
the expenditures, including the pay
ment to Spain, were sos, 854, 600. show
ing a deficit for the month of $24, 207, /.
O99, and from miscellaneous sources,
$1.758.541.
The deficit for the fiscal year to date
amounts to 500. $780, 1888; but the
probabilities are that the deficit for the
entire year will not be in excess of the
estimate of $4,000. 900, made by Sec
rotary Gage in his annual report.

arrival of the colored troops at l
O'Clock. This is company M. Twenty
fourth infantry. Captain Bachelor
commanding. This evening 60 non
union men armed with rifles rushed
down the road from Wardner to the
station, one and half miles, in re-
Spouse that the dynamiters had started
down from Canyon Creek with the in
tention of cleaning out the colored
troops. This was caused by the sus-
pension of Geographic communication
between Wardnel and Wallace. A
tree fell across the telegraph wire.
Quite number of union men left
today, going in both directions. Many
of the lingleaders are gone, but as at
least 95 per cent of the membership Of
Occur d'Alene were present at the out
rage last Saturday, they cannot all get
away without depopulating Mullan
and the towns on Canyon creek.
James Cheyne. shot in the hip by
the dynamiters on Saturday. died today
in Spokane, whittier he had been taken
for treatment. He was Knight OF
Pythias, and the memb ers ofthat order
will make every effort to. capture his
murdelels. His body will be returned
to this place tomorrow for judicial in
vestigatiOn and interment.
1t is reported that the dynamiters are
getting out of Canyon Creek and Null
Ian by every train.
