A Japanese woman, said by the New York Tribune to be the first who ever applied for naturalization papers in this country, surprised Samuel D. Ed iek, the clerk of the United States Cir cat court, in the Federal building, when she appeared before him, for a woman who wants to take out papers Is always an object of curiosity. She said she was Miss Mine Harada, and she signed her name in 3 firm. legible hand. She gave Tokio as her native place. An interpreter was necessary to explain the terms of the oath by which she was required to renounce ner allegiance to the emperor Of Japan. In the rest of the questions she got along well. She is $ years old and unmarried. Miss Harada took out he- first papers. She has been in this country six years.

Do Certain Animals When Their Mouths
 Are Held Open.


 Animals of the horse kind can only breathe through the mouth with great difficulty and effort, so that if their nose is obstructed they tend to suffo- cate Even their vocal sounds are uttered through the nose as a rule, but when they do use the mouth the cry is made with obvious effort. and is generally of a strident character. The horses neigh is made by respiratory efforts through the nose, and is easy and spontaneous in character; but the scream it utters when in mortal pain is made through the mouth, and is labored and unnatural The donkey makes a pleasant hising noise through the nose when pleased, but it's bray through the mouth is painful and labored. Large, open nostrils form an important feature in thoroughbred horse, for from it's inability to breathe through the mouth it is dependent on it's nose for it's wind when going at great speed Much lower in the scale of life we find the frog, which suffo- cates when its mouth is foreibly kept open.

The Great American Hoe.

The tables of exports published by the treasury department indicate marked increase in the exports of hog products for last month. The exports of bacon amounted to over 54,000 900 pounds, of hams to nearly 22;000,000, and of pork to over 10.000,00o pounds. The export of lard alone showed a slight decrease in comparison with the same period of last year This exhibit is the moro gratifying from the fact that the agitation Of the agrarian ele- ment in Europe. particularly in France and Germany, is mainly directed against the American hog. While the partisan agitation Is not in the interest either of the German or French people, as it daprives them of cheap hog prod ucts i, has had the support of the e4ts That Tn spite of 1t the expe- tables continue to show steady growtn must be put down to the credit of the invineigle American hog.-Den- yer Post.

Lifted Across the Mountains,

It is a remarkable fact that water which flows naturally into the gulf of California and thence into the Pacific ocean. has been virtually lifted across the backbone of the Rocky mountains and now, after being used for irriga- tion, finds it's way to the gulf of Mexi- CO., A number of small streams on the other side of Longs peak, which flow into Grand lake and thence into the Colorado river, have been diverted by a ditch that finds it's way through a pass 10000 feet high into the head waters of the Poudre. Some 400 cubic feet per second have thus been di- verted from the Pacific to the Atlantic slope, where the water is used for irri- gating additional farms in Larimer county. It is not strictly correct to say that this water has been lifted across the range, but feat of sinuous engineering has diverted it.

The Burmese.

The Burmese will sacrifice any pros pect of money-making to go to a feast. These are called pives, and often the entertainment is elaborate. I remem- Der going to one in Upper Burma. There was good deal of dancing, but neither the host nor his guest danced, that would have been undignided. The dancers were paid, and they twirled lazily or jumped exeitedly as occasion required. Most Of the time, however, was spent ine chatter and smoking. Smoking is the only thing at which the Burmese are industrious. They start smoking at the early age of 3, and they smoke themselves into the next world. Girls smoke quite as assiduously as the men, and as the cigars are very big many pretty mouth is strained to accommodate a giant eheroot.-Pall Mall Magazine.

How Baby Prince eo.,qnsred.

The birth of son to the duchess of Aosta, it is said, was a great shock to the princess of Nsples, which has in- creased her very natural grief at her own childlessness. Prince Amadeo (who by viIsue of this ehildlessness is now in succession to the throne) is a small, fair-haired baby of about year, with more than the ordinary amount Of habyish winning ways. One day the princess met the little chap in a eorri- dor in his nurses arms She would have avoided him, as usual, but as she passed with ayerted head he suddenly held out his fat, dimpled arms, and on the impulse of the moment she took him from the nurse, while her eyes filled with tears. The little fellow laid his lips on each of her lids, strolling her cheeks with both hands. She gave a sob, and has ever since been his most devoted slave.

Health from an Open Fireplace.

Physicians are discovering that the old time open fire had much to dc with the health of our grandmothers and that steam heat and furnace heat are responsible for many ailments. Steam heat especially has way of gradually increasing so that anyone who is used to steam heated room becomes an easy victim to colds and all the long string of ailments to which cold is the introduction An open fire is a sort of inspiration in itself, and since 1t draws in the out-of-door oxygen through all the cracks and crannies 1t helps to purify the air in the room while it heats it.

An Interesting Operation.

A very interesting operation was performed in New York upon Kate Farley by Dr. Brewster, dentist of Lefferts place. Mrs. Farley has been at the Memorial hospital for several weeks with two compound fractures of the lower jaw. The operation con- sisted of cementing the upper and low CT jaws together, so that the broken bones of the lower jaw may be held firmly in place until the fractures are healed. Until the healing has taken place the woman will not be able to open her mouth, so that nourishment will be given her through tubes lead ing through small apertures where several of her teeth are broken out. The primary part of the operation was similar to the process used by dentists in making new sets Of teeth for persons who have none Dr. Brewster first made an impression of the upper and lower teeth. From these impressions he made a rubber spiint which fitted the impressions of the teeth. He then cemented this splint 10 the teeth, clos ing the jaws firmly together.

Inventor Declares 1t VIII Remain In
 Air Week at Time.
 The Swiss newspapers announce the forthcoming launch of new airship over-not on- the Lake of Constance, says the London News. It's inventor is Count yon Zeppelin, retired German officer who has for many years studied the question of steering balloons. He now claims to have solved the prob lem of the light motor. An aeroplane built by him is reported to have devel- oped sufficient power to tow boat on the River Inn at a speed of nine miles an hour To minimize the risks of an unforeseen fall the count has selected the Lake of Constance as the scene of a2s decisive experiment. It's area of over 300 square miles will, he believes, be sufficient to enable him to execute all necessary evolutions The vessel is .meered'' at Friedriehshafea and is supported by sixty pentoons. There is ,,-ss works in the vicinity. The in yentor keeps the mechanism of his air ship secret and has taken stringent pre- cautions to warn off the curious. All that is known is that the vessels pro- portions are immense-over $50 feet Ieng and nearly fifty feet in diameter. It 5 eylindrical, with eonieal extremi- ties, and is divided internally by strong partitions. The "hulls is of silk, stretched over a skeleton of aluminium. The power is supplied by two motors, placed beneath the cylinder. one at each end. The propelling principle is the ordinary screw, but there are three special devices for steering. Count VOL Zeppelin declares that his machine will be able to rise to height of over :, 1000 feet, lift a weight of nearly two tons, travel at q speed of ten yards sec end, and remain in the air for week It time.

CHINESE CLOTHING.
By No Means of the Common Blue
 Cloth They Look to Be.
Blue

To wear your grandfather's coat would not seem much of an honor, but to John Chinaman it is the greatest felicity. Not only is the common looking, shapeless blue blouse of his ancestor prized because it is his an- cestors, but because of it's intrinsic value. The clothing usually worn by the Chinese is of the purest silk, and costs anywhere from $100 to S250 a suit. As a nation the Chinese object to wearing clothing of any other kind, and centuries of experiment have taught them how best to make up the costly caterpillar thread into the most Chinese dress, though of purer mate rial, has none of the sheen usually associated with silk, peculiarity which has resulted in the erroneous ideas as to their composition. All the garments are made in China, and are only exported for the personal use of Celestials in foreign countries. Owing to their cost, however, they are only purchased at long intervals, each gar ment being of so durable character that they are handed down to the third and even the fourth generation. Wear appears to rather improve them than otherwise, with the result that the coat of the father or grandfather often has more intrinsic value than the newer and less worn articles Another ar ticle peculiar to the Chinese is the felt slippers they invariably wear These are of peculiar shape, and are also imported from the native country, where the method of treating felt until it almost rivals leather for wear is kept a close secret.

GETTING FAT ON EXPOSURE.
Effect of an Army Trip Upon Chronic
 ComnIainar

ssIt is well-known fact said an fishing or hunting will get fat on ex- posture that would infallibly kill him in town. Why this should be, science has failed to explain, but it is, never theless, true and has been especially noticeable in the experience of our vol unteer troops. I was out myself, so know what I am talking about. Here in ahe city I am subject to colds and suffer eortures from dyspepsia. Wet feet or few square inches of pie will put me in bed with unfailing certainty and after l enlisted and the first glow of patriotism cooled off I was filled with apprehension and felt positive l would never survive the rigors of camp life. The result was exactly the reverse of what 1 expected. 1 got soaking wet, slept on the, ground, ate fat bacon, drank bootleg coffee, and was never sick for moment. Natural ly I thought my old sanitary precau- tions were all nonsense, and when 1 returned I began to disregard them. In twenty-four hours I was flat on my back with an attack of pleurisy, and, assure you, my case was not excep- tional. AS far as I have been able to learn everybody else had substantially the same experience; differing only in degree. Of course, there was an im mense amount of sickness among the troops, oeeasioned by bad water, en- balmed beef, and other causes that could not be definitely traced, but am speaking of the ordinary exposure and hardships incident to any cam paign. Why they should be so harm less outside of town and so deadly in sideecorporate limits is a great mys- terys It is one of the things. as Lord Dundreary observes, that no fellow can find out New Orleans Times Democrat.

the day of the contest clause duly in
serted.
According to Bangs statement Carter
could do the ringside weight if he were
allowed time enough, but he considers a
week before the fight too short a term for
Garter to make that figure and fight
strong. However that may be. it IS GER
tain that Carter realizes that he must
work hard and fast to scale 49, even at
the hour named in the articles. To that
end he is sparing no pains, and his life
at the roadside is anything but an idle
one.
Ryan has an easier task on his hands,
as he is comparatively light in flesh and
will probably scale about 1872 pounds when
he steps under the ropes.
There is a forfeit of 500 up for each
man to do the weight.
At the present time Ryan is in fine con-
dition, but then he is seldom any other
way. He admits himself that there was
only one occasion when he made the
mistake of entering the ring in poor
shape, and Kid Mccoy benefited by his
want of discretion at that eventful period
But that's another yarn
Ryan is preparing for the contest at a
downtown gymnasium and doing just
enough work to keep himself on edge.

said Ryan yesterday to a group of adj
mirers. But isn't it a shame that
they're always putting me against such
