A Unique Manner of Death.

81 heard the following conun-
drum" said r.. A. Fallows, in
New York, the other day, (which
struck me as distinctly clever;
What character is there in the
Bible who possesses no name,
who suffered death in different
form from any inflicted before or
since that time, aportion of whose
shroud is in every household, and
the cause of whose death has been
made famous by a modern au-
thor" Give it up, eh? Well, the
answer is, Lots wife. She pos
sesses no name; no one else met
death through being turned into
a pillar of salt; salt is in every
household, and Edward Bellamy

After being awake less than an
hour, says Williamsport, Pa,
special of the 9th inst, Nellie
Wolf, the young woman who slept
tifty-six hours, again fell asleep
last night and is still sleeping, all
efforts to awaken her proved
futile. She has now been asleep
about seventy hours, with the ex-
ception of the very short time
she was aroused last night.

Resting Their Muscles.

When a man is tired he stretches his
arms and legs and yawns. Birds and
animals. so far as possible, follow his
example. Birds spread their feathers
and also yawn, or cape Fowls often
do this. Fish yawn; they open their
mouths slowly till they are round, the
bones of the head seem to loosen and
the gills open.
Dogs are inveterate yawners and
stretchers, but seldom sneeze unless
they have cold. Cats are always
stretching their bodies, legs and claws,
as every one knows who has had a
cat for a pet.
Horses stretch violently when and
after indulging in a roll, but not as a
rule on all fours as stays do. A stag
when stretching sticks out his head
stretches his forefeet out and hollows
his back and neck as though trying to
creep under a bar.
Most ruminant animals stretch when
they rise up after lying down. Deer
do it regularly, so do cattle. This fact
is so well known that if a COW when
arising from lying down does not
stretch herself it is sign she is ill.
The reason for this is plain-the stretch
moves every muscle of the body. and
if there is any injury anywhere it
hurts.

a big fellow from Foebottofn Corners
stepped on Georges foot ana told him
he was no sailor. George was mighty
proud in them days. Ne says to me:

you'd q died laughing at the way every
body sneezedss George was the one
that put the bepper on the stove, :or
seen him do at. iDh. could sit here
all night and tell you Of the comical
things George used to do"
Some OF the most interesting anec.
dotes, however, come from Admiral
Dewey's nurses when he was a child
OF these there are a sufficient number
TO fully establish the fact that George
was certainly a remarkable child, for
no one except a remarkable child would
require so many nurses. Following is
an anecdote related of his childhood as
told by his former nurse, Mrs. Martha
Snively of Roseberry Glen, VT, to a
writer for the Young Ladies' Journal
and Fashion Guide:
Yes, knew George" said Mrs.
Snively, who is motherly and kind
hearted lady, living on farm with her
third husband. 81 knew George when
he was four years old. Law, we all
knew he was going to grow up to be
great man. One day he came run
ming to me and said: Martha, why
does mouse that it spins? Good
land, child. I replied, I don't know;
what makes you ask such question: %
Because, said he. the higher the
fewer. Now wasn't that cute? One
day he was playing George Washington
and he sat in a washtub out in the back
yard and pretended to be padding
across the Delaware with a broom. This
showed that some day he was going to
be a sailor, but law me, we never
thought he. would sink all those Dago
ships in Maniller the way he did. Not
one of us suspected that. But that was
way he had. He never told before
hand what he was going to do"
There are a number of equally re.
markable "reminiscences gathered from
Mrs. Snively. but they VIII not appear
serially, being reserved for more digni.
fed publication in book form.
When Admiral Dewey returns to
America he will be surprised to know
how many persons he went to school
with and the number of anecdotes hS
created in his youth.-Kansas City Star.

A WOMAN'S PARADISE,

Smolensk, Russia, an Adamless Eden
Part of the Year.
The last place where one would ex-
pect to find town wholly administer
ed and during most of the time exclu-
sively inhabited by women is in auto
cratic Russia. In Smolensk, southern
Russia, woman reigns supreme, and,
under the presidency of a woman,
mayor and city council has things all
her own way. The town of Smolensk
and the neighboring province, which is
about fifteen miles in area, are deserted
every spring by all the able-bodied
men, who proceed to neighboring
towns in search of work, remaining
away about nine months of the year.
In their absence the women cultivate
the fields and manage local affairs un-
der the presidency of a woman mayor
of their own choice. It did not take
the women long to get the upper hand
and they have brought into Russia
some startling Innovations. The prop
erty of all the inhabitants of Smolensk
is held in common and all their work is
done in common-cultivating building,
housekeeping, but each family may oc-
cupy a house by itself. There is no
currency but labor, and each full
grown inhabitant has to give the city
thirty-six hours labor week. When
a woman is married, the colony makes
no other claims upon her, but from an
unmarried woman extra work is re-
quired, so that she can establish
credit and possess a home of her OWL

TARANTULA HAWKS.

Wasp That Preys ON tho Dangerous
Tarantula.
"Low down on the Rio Grande riv-
err said man from Texas, where the
sands are heated almost red-hot by the
sun, there grow the biggest centipedes.
the'biggest rattlesnakes, and the biggest
tarantulas in the world. If you can
look at one of these tarantulas when he
is pinned fast to board with a natur-
alist's steel pin, and you are sure that
he is good and dead and can not spring
at you and shoot his poison into you,
he forms an interesting subject to
study. They are horrible looking hairy
things, with eight legs and eight eyes.
Their colors are dark brown and black.
The female tarantula is said to be a
tickle spouse and to have a summary
way, all her own, of getting rid of her
consort when she is tired of him. She
woos and weds all right and assumes
the entire care and support of the
young family. The first matrimonial
jar she has she turns to and kills her
husband. Not content with killing

larger and stronger of the two; they
are simply gigantic for spiders. I have
seen those that measured six inches be-
tween the stretch of their legs They
are the terror of man and beast. But
there is one little animal of the insect
family that Mrs. Tarantula stands in
as much dread of as man stands in
dread Of her, and that is big wasp,
that in Texas is known by the name
of the tarantula hawk. The tarantula
hawk has an exceedingly bad opinion
of the tarantula. 1t will fly around
over the head of the tarantula, make
lightning-like dive down, get a good
clutch on the monster spider, fly away
home with him and then all the taran-
tula hawk family sit down to sup. The
tarantula hawk will not hurt men. On
the contrary, it is blessing, and you
never hear Of a western man harming
one of them. It is said that these Rio
Grande cattle rangers are indebted for
the tarantula hawk to an old New Eng
land professor, who, while down in
that country in pursuit of his studies,
as naturalist, was stung by one of
these monster spiders, and nearly died,
and would certainly have died had it
not been for the whisky flask Of his
guide. In that country, where rattle
snakes, tarantulas, and centipedes are
SO big and so plentiful, no rancher
leaves his home without his whisky
flask. Shortly after the old professor
left that part of the country the ranch
err received small box Of these taran-
tula hawks, with instructions as to
what to do with them. He turned the
big wasps loose; they increased and
multiplied, and now they are holding
their. own against their enemy, the
tarantula. New York Sun. y, ..#.

BRIDGE.

London society during the last sea-
son took up a new game, which is
called bridge. It has certainly been
a great rage, and was source Of
amusement to great many during the
long winter evenings, between and Z.
It is species of whist, and is played
by four people, but one hand is laid on
the table for every one to see, SO 1t
can quite easily be played by three,
and it is pronounced better than dunn
my whist. The game is called bridge
because, owing to certain rules and
complications which occur in the
game, it is possible to 'bridge" or pass
over when it is ones turn to play. It
is great gambling game, and great
deal may be won or lost in one night,
as the bets can be doubled at will, and
the points are generally high. -.

Even Throws \ Russian Nobleman Into

Occupy Cell with the Bones Of =
Tortured Prisoner. T..

, Grave charges are made in Vienna
against the Servian government in ref
erence both to the treatment Of the
political offenders now under arrest
and to the outrageous sentences which
are being passed by the court-martial
appointed to deal with the culprits.
Inc most serious charges are made
IN connection with the treatment Of DR..
sodomsky, scientific adviser to the
commission of control over the Ser
Wan state monopolies. DR.. Sodomsky
Is Russian by. birth, education and
nationality, and went to Belgrade eight
years ago at the express invitation of
the Serv1an government to fill this i'm
portant post. DR.. Sodomsky is a man
OF science pure and simple, and has
neither the time nor the inclination to
take any interest in politics. Still. he
was arrested on suspicion of being an
accomplice in the contempt to assassi-
nate ex-king Milan, dismissed from his
official position, imprisoned for three
weeks and then expelled from Servia.
DIR. Sodomsky says: II was sitting
one evening with my wife in front of
my house, when six gendarmes en-
tered the garden, seized me and placed
me in chains. was conveyed to pris-
on, and in spite of my repeated re-
quests to be told the reason of my ar
rest, not word of explanation was
given me. was thrust into a SUBJ
terranean cell, damp and dark. and so
small that could not stand upright
IN 1t, and had barely room left to lie at
full length on the floor. The cell had not
been cleaned out probably for years,
and Its unsanitary. condition was too
disgusting to describe. The discovery
OF the bones of human being on the
moor added to the horror of my stu
alton. When I shouted for help a
warder came and thrashed me with
huge whip, telling me to die quickly
and make no fuss about it. After
three days in this cell I underwent a
mock examination, and was thrust
back into prison. Here 1 languished
for three weeks almost starved to
death and brutally maltreated by the
Warders. My innocence was then es-
tablished, but instead of being re-
leased and compensated I was taken
to the frontier and expelled from Ser
Wan territory. I can prove that my
life in Belgrade was blameless. and it
is my intention to appeal to the Rus
sian government to obtain damages
for me from the Servian authorities"
