After the usua: delay, when it had passed entirely out of my mind. the girl at the book coun- ter stepped up and said: Here's your change, sir. And she held a bright new cent ip her open hand so that the other girl saw it. l felt chill at once and just because it appeared to the young woman that I had been waiting all that tune for cent.

Ali Interesting weman.

An interesting woman has just diea in Russia. Irena Fedcss0va was one or the last ot those professional story tellers who, before the spread of edu- cation, were very numerous in the east. She was quite illiterate, but her memory was so phenomenal tha. she could recite over 100000 lines Of heroic aud legendary poetry. She was fre- quently in St. Petersburg. and was often invited to the palaces of the Imperial. family and nobility to glys teeitatieqs. In summer she wandered from town to village. and had never been absent from the famous fair Of Nishni Noygorod for sixty years

Could Make Iron aud Steel.

t has been reported to the British government that the making Of irop and steel in India is entirely practic- able owing to the large deposits of iron ore which are foend in Madras and Bengal, plentiful supply of na. tive coal. and limestone to be procured 1t small expense from Burmah. The cheap labor of India is also an i'm. portant consideration, and if the plant were sufficiently large and located near Calcutta it is believed that the works would prove successful.

won DEaFUL LAKE
filled With Rolling Acids That Eas
 Boats to Pieces.

Boats to Pieces.
 A strange lake exists in the center of Sulphur island. off New Zealand. It Is 50 acres in extent, about F feet in depth and 15 feet above the level of the sea. The most remarkable char aeteristie of this lake is that the water contains vast quantities of hydro chloric and suIphurfe acids, hissing and bubbling at a temperature of f16 degrees Fahrenheit The dark green. colored water looks particularly unin- viting. Dense clouds of sulphurie fumes constantly roll off this boiling caldron, and care has to be exercised in ap- preaching this lake to avoid the risk of guffocation. On the opposite siue Of the lake may be seen the tremendous blow-holes, which, when in full blast. present an awe-inspiring sight The roar of the steam as it rushes forth into the air is deafening, and often huge powders and stones are hurled out to height of several hundred feet by the various internal forces of na- lure. boat can be launched on the lake, and. if proper care be observed the very edges of the blow-holes may be safely explored. Some idea of the strength of the acid-saturated water of this lake may be gathered from the fact that a boat almost dropped te pieces after all the passengers had beer landed, IS the riyets had eorroded un deg the influence of the acids.

SCIENTISTS FIND
That Typhoid Germs Are Bred in oys-
 ters by Sewage.


 A scare was caused in England some years ago by the statement that oys- ters were active disseminators of ty- phoid fever. The consumption in Lcn- don of what are invariably referred to in the country papers as luscious bi- valves" thereupon fell off 50 psr cent. The cockney, alive to his opportuni- ties, refused to buy oysters for his sweetheart, on the ground that they were dangerous. As oysters are very expensive in Great Britain anyhow, people were easily convinced of their unwho1esomeness. The reduction in consumption caused rapid fall in prices. It also injured the American exportation of Blue Points to England Profs. Herdman and Boyce went to five among oysters of Lancashire to find out if they are really so dangerous. They looked into the cause of the color Of green oysters. "The green hue. they picturesquely say in their report, s4s equally familiar to the man who raises them for the market, to the one who raises them from their bed with a pair of rakes, and also to him Wbo raises them out of their own ju ees from the half shell by means of 8 sIl- yer trident. This coloring has been attributed variously to metals, yege- table coloring matter, bile pigment and the pigment of diatoms" The inyes- tigations of the learned oyster sharps, however, yield the fact that the green color is not always due to the same eansA. One Eariatv Is caused by cop per. This appears true of the Amsri- can green oyster. In other varieties iron is found, while a diatom, or moss, is suspected as a cause to still others. The American green oysters are ire quently thin and have shrunken livers The contamination of oyster beds by sewage and the results of experimental feeding of oysters with matter laden with typhoid fever germs are taken Up. Oysters from the vicinity of sew CTS contain bacteria. Those that have imbibed typhoid bacilli have in them germs which can be cultivated from them fourteen days after infection New York Journal.

long Horned Steer Took Too Esuch Space
 and Held Too Decided Opinions.
 Ten years from HOW the visitors at the stock yards in Chicago will look at the massive horns nearly six feet from tip to tip that hang over the doerways of offices and hardly be able to believe that they were taken from the head of q beef critter" on the Texas ranges, and that hundreds Of thousands of cattle with such horns once ran half wild on the ranches and plains of the Lone Star stat4. For the passing of the 1ong-horned, long legged, uncertain co1ored and still more uncertain tempered Texas steer is thing of today, and in his place one finds stockily built. red or roan ani- nal, with short. stubby horns. or no horns at all. The Texas steer of to- day is not properly descended from the Texas cattle Of the past. He has sim, ply supplanted the others on the ranges, and the former animal has either migrated farther south or has gone out into space and is no more. The improyement-as it most certainly is--has been brought about in many ways. The first great change came when the cattle man decided that car space that could be filled up by good, salable beef, was more profitable than that taken up by the picturesque horns of the Texas steer, and began to dehorn the yearlings and young steers. More could be gotten into car, as they could stand closer together. 1t was but 8 step to then begin to improve the quality by crossing the cows with fine bred bulls. Durham, Hereford and Angus, and the Texas steer of 1900 will compare very favorably with the cat tie in Missouri He has taken on weight, and will average 100 to 150 acun is heavier tban in former days
 4ne Changing Gey-er..
 1t is said that the recent visitors to the Yellowstone Park have discovered that the famous geysers there are gradually subsiding. One newspaper believes that if their force continues to diminish in the degree in which t has diminished in the last four years. the geysers vii probably become ex- tinet within decade This is hat these recent visitors claim to have dis covered: That Roaring Mountain although still circulating steam, no longer roars, and therefore, no longer deserves it's name; that Black Growler in Norris Basin, is in a feeble state. and that Fountain Geyser, in the Low Sr Basin. and the Splendid and Bee- hive Geyser. in the Upper Basin. are practically dead. We have seen no evi- denee to prove that these reports are not true. Certainly no one could de- rive any benefit from their deeeitful manufacture
 Nothing Personal Intended.
 When Lady Blessington sent DOrsay to complain of some delay on the part of her publishers, Otley & Saunders. he used very high language. A dig nified man in a high. white neckcloth, who was listening to him, said: Count D'Orsay, I would sooner lose Lady BIessington's patronage than submit to such personal abuse" There was nothing personal" said the count; If you are Otley. then damn Saunders: If you are Saunders, then damn Otley."

The young woman who is overcome

lights only too frequently has her IL
lusions rudely dispelled when brought
into actual contact with some of the
correlative experiences of the stage.
Not long ago a lady of considerable
social standing and prominence in this
city was carried away with the idea
that her forte lay in the tangled mazes
of the dramatic profession. After TAX
ing a course of study in this line, she
made her debut at one of the local
theatres, and scored moderate
triumph. Success turned her head, and
it was not long before the divorce
courts had rid her of the incumbrance
of a husband. Recently she received
a note from a dramatic agency, that
there was an engagement open for her
acceptance at foreign playhouse, with
a salary attachment of 800 a week
This was a glittering Offer and the
actress lost no time in arriving at the
agency, where the agent explained that
the scene of labor was in Honolulu and
the proprietor of the playhouse was in
an adjoining room ready to conclud,
the contract.
