Our cocher has been ordered to turn

out upon the Quai d'Orsay, and are at
the entrance Of the Point des Invalides,
says the New Lippincott. Here cabby

prise as we descend into the ankle-deep
dust and proceed by means of our open
sesame, to the place where four Ameri-
can flags at the corners Of a large
square indicate the Enclosure chosen
by our commissioner general for the
American pavilion.
Here, on the rive gauche, in COM
pany with others Of the Pavillons des
Etrangeres, will stand the American
pavilion, a beautiful and attractive
structure, whose broad steps lead down
to the water. Here Americans may
land, and at once receive that welcome
and attention which the visitor soon
discovers is second nature to the com
missioner general and his staff; and
here, more than anywhere else in Paris,
will he find himself thoroughly at home.
Ii is TO our commissioner general and
his untiring industry that we are in
debted for the great amount of space
which is to contain. the great American
exhibit, and even my gloomy guide is
tempted TO break into triumphant
smile at this new proof of American
skill and energy.

The South African republics zoolog-
zeal collection and gardens are the fin
est and largest in the world, The gar
dens, which are IN the Lebombo region,
are guarded by a whole tribe Of katlirs,
and contain every species Of wild ami
NAL to be found in South Africa. The
geological collection at Bronx park,
New York, is a remarkably fine one.
The gardens cover 800 acres, and one of
its most important features is the
natural environments provided for the
animals.
The animals of South America, for
instance, are given the free rarge of
large Enclosures containing miniature
mountains, rivers and forests; while
the tigers and lions live in sandy
stretches, jungles and so on. The Vel
lowstone national park, Of the United
States. with its area Of 3,575 square
miles. forms a geological preserve for
almost every species q animal found
in that part Of the world. The London
geological gardens contain nearly 5000
animals; those at Berlin about 1900,
and the Jardin des Piautes, Paris, about
1000 animals.

MARYLAND GOOSE HUNTING.
How the Gunners Go About IL Along
the shores of Chesapeake
Bay.

4 blind in the form of a pit is made
in the sand on shore near where the
geese and swans are known 20 rest
and feed. White wooden blankets are
spread in and around the blind to
make ii comfortable, and corn is
strewn within 80 yards of it. After
n.ghtfall the hunters hide themselves
in the pit, strapping up in white
blankets which cannot be detected
from the white sand of the beach by
the water fowls. Absolute silence is
maintained.
From far out In the bay comes the
familiar "honk, honk" of the incoming
flock. and the hunters get down low
in the pit. The geese alight near the
end of the beach and soon are In shall
low feeding water. The watch
goose" which is always a gander, and
which never seems to eat or sleep,
makes reconnaissance in advance Of
the flock and finds the corn. If, after
a close inspection Of the surroundings,
he is satisfied Of safety, he calls the
fock, and il eagerly responds. The
geese, looming up in the night look
as big as ostriches from the blind.
When within range the signal to fire
is given in pantomine by the leader Of
the hunters, and something happens
when the big No. s guns boom.
Some geese are killed outright, 9TH
ers are wounded so they cannot fly,
and those unhurt take 10 instant
flight. As they rise another volley IS
poured into the flock The dead and
wounded birds are retrieved by
trained Chesapeake bay dogs, II the
hunters have them, otherwise by the
hunters themselves, who rush into the
FEY water, pursuing first the wounded
fowls and afterward picking up the
dead ones. This ends the shooting
from that blind that night.
At times there is a cold, tiresome,
au-nieht wait with no results. No.
s guns are used and the best ammu-
milton. The shells are loaded with six
or seven drachms Of powder and from
two to three ounces of Il. b. chilled

There is a physician up the northeast

He made a professional call on an old
Irish woman the other day, and, as her
ailment was not of sufficient severity
to keep her from her household duties.
ne found her in the kitchen washing
dishes. His eyes gHstened as he saw
the table upon which this hOmely op-
GRAFTON was being performed. 1t was
an old decrepit affair on three legs, but
il was solid mahogany, with quaint

''That's a queer sort of table to be

And then, as though seized with sud
den philanthropic inspiration, he add
ed: IF you will allow me I'll buy you
a new table, and I'll take the old one off
your hands" OF course, the old woman
was only too delighted. The doctor in
vested two dollars in a common kitchen
table, in exchange for which he received
the old mahogany one, which had been
in the old woman's family for nearly
century

BLIGHT FOLLOWS CURSE.
Former Governor of Illinois
Who Opposed Mormons.

A strange story comes from Salt Lake
City to the effect that former Gov. Ford,
/ of Illinois, died in the most abiect pow
erty, with the bones of his body literal
/ ly protruding, and that this deplorable
end of one of Illinois best known states
men was directly due to curses pro-
nounced upon him by the great Mormon
/ prophet, Joseph Smith.
The fact that Ford was governor of
Illinois during the Mormon war and at
the time of Smiths assassination gave
a certain credence to the rumor. After
leaving his office as governor, Mr.. Ford
moved TO Peoria, and his body now lies
buried at Springdale cemetery. Care
full investigation recently practically
substantiates the claims Of the west
arm Mormons. 1t is true that Gov. Ford,
as the representative of the law which
was bounding their sect, incurred the
deadly enmity of the Mormons, and
! their leader and prophet Old resi-
dents of this city also state that they
can recall an old rumor of a curse
against Gov. Ford, and they talk at
length of the conditions surrounding
his death and the end of his family.
Gov. Ford was brilliant man of the
highest principles, and was eminently
successful as a lawyer. But after the
expiration of his term of Office, and
soon after the alleged curse was pro-
nouuced, he ceased to be as prosperous
as formerly. He came to Peoria and
established a practice here, but mis-
fortune followed him, his property
dwindled away, and then, as a final
blow, illness interviewed and cut short
Il brilliant career. At the time of Mrs.
Ford's death the family had been re-
duced to poverty, and the two children
had been adopted by friends who could
afford to educate them. EN-Goy. Ford
survived his wife only a few years and
the discomforts OF poverty closed thick
" about him, He tasted the full Bit
terness of illness, restitution and de-
pendence, and died under the most de-
plorable conditions.
The son, Tom, who had been adopted
by a resident of this city, Thomas
Moore by name, had embarked on life
career which promised to be prosper
Gus, when he was suddenly called west
on business. He was crossing the plains
on horseback, when he fell in with a
vigilance committee looking for horse
thief and hungry for its prey. The
stolen stock had been found in the
vicinity of the spot where they eneoun-
tered Ford, and they accused him Of
the theft. lie Indignantly denied the
charge, and said he was Tom Moore, Of
Peoria. Upon further questioning,
however, he unluckily mentioned that
he was a son of ex-Gov. Ford. of Illinois,
the leader exclaimed: An
honest man never travels under two
Names" and the unfortunate young
Ford was swung TO the nearest tree.
The daughter Of Gen. Ford has drift
ed entirely out Of sight of the world,
and no one knows what has become of
her. And this great tragedy of life
and death in the family of the Fords,
the Mormons claim, is the result of the
Of their prophet.-St. Louis Globe

INTENSE COLD.
Some Cases Results similar to
Alcoholic IntoNIcatIo..

The usual results of exposure to ex-
IRENE cold are loss of energy, both
physical and mental, followed by
drowsiness and dissemination to move;
the mental faculties become torpid
and the senses numbed, while the vic
tim is seized with an irresistible de-
sire to lie down and sleep. If this
desire is yielded to the lethargy passes
into stupor and death follows. occa-
sionally these symptoms are preceded
by Others which resemble those of in
t0xication, and are due to a peculiar
condition of the blood, which at a very
low temperature takes up an insult
ficient quantity of oxygen, and so has
an injurious effect on the nervous sys-
TEN. 1t was observed during the re-
treat of the French from Moscow that
those who were most severely affected
by the cold often reeled about as If
intoxicated; they also complained Of
giddiness and indistinctness of vision
and sank gradually into a state of
lethargic stupor from which ii was inn
possible to arouse them. Other in
stances are recorded in which per-
sons became delirious and died
through a short exposure to intense
cold
