This feat was performed by firm

THE PAUL PRY OF THE vELpT.
Meercats Arc Inquisitivc, socIsbie an
Make Excellent Pets.

There Is nothing In the wide, wide
world quite rs impudcnt rs the South
African meercat. lie Is n little. 1.-THE,
dun colored animal, something be.
tween ferret and weasel, with
short. silver tipped fur, m lmpudcnt
snout and black, beady little eyes,
whose habits are described for US by
n writer In the London Mail.
Nothing disturbs his equnnlmity,
and 1t takes great deal to frlghicn
him. He has been before now com.
pared to the mongoosc for his ALSO
lutte indifference to surroundings and
his curiosity to see what Is going Oh
in his immediate neighborho0d.
Riding quietly over the vcldt, scores
Of meercats may be seen popping M
here and there and exchanging the
time Of day. They usually run In cou'
pies. and when they are surprised they
sit up next to one another on thicr
launches and twist their heads from
side to side in the most comlcnl man
ner, making all the while a quaint,
whIrring sound in their Threats and
tapping their absurd little forepaws
In pathetically humorous sort OF
way.
There Is really no limit to their
cheek. One may be quietly asleep IN
tent with ones head on saddle
and knross, or fur rug, thrown over
one for warmth's sake. BY and by n
soft, cold, little nose is thrust into
ones face, and the whlrring, purring
sound announces the visit Of friend
ly and inQuisitlvc mecrcat. Children
love them, and, to give them credit,
they seem to love children. They have
playful way of darting to and fro
as If pursued by an invisible enemy,
and then running up to q child nnd,
muzzling up against the boy or girl
rs though for protection. In dwell.
ing house they soon become entirely
at home and choose the most comfort
able spot in the middle Of the hearth
rug on which to squat. Here they
sit up on end and make fnces Mt tho
fire, their little Threats rattling and
whirring all the time. The little crea.
lures can be easily tanned.

PRETTY HOT PL ACE.
Yuma, In Arizona. Has u Glorious Record
of High Te,npernture,


The hottest place In the United
States Is In the American Desert In
Arizona. There Is II stretch OF about
100 miles west of Yuma that Is literally
lined with the bones Of men and ami
mails who have died from heat and
thirst. A few years ago, before the
Santa Fc railroad was built through
there, this stretch of barren earth was
tgNvcrscd by jcrk.line frcIghtcrs. Tn sc
frcighters consisted of two or three
heavy freight wagons, drawn by from
II to Is horses. I'll, driver sat on the
nigh wheel horse and handled his team
by n single line, which stretched to the
nigh leader by jerking the line the
leader knew what was expected of him
and hence thename Of jcrklin q freight.
There was not drop of water along
the entire route and during the summer
months the mercury stuck Mt 100 like
Il poor relation. Travellers had to carry
water enough for the trip, both for
themselves and animals. If this gave
out the heat did the rest and another
pile of bones was left In the sun to he
bleached. People still travel that road,
hut the Santa Fe company has dug
wells along it, thereby saving many u
life.
1t is so hot mt Yuma that the United
States had to abandon it us fort.
The only thing there now Is prison,

At last the Chinese minister ut Wash
ington, Mr.. WI Ting fang, sent his
brotherin-law, Mr.. HO Vow, to the
scene of the trouble. Mr.. Ho was Pc
culiarly fitted to the task. He WAS a
modern Chinese IN the full sense. He
was Il lawyer, graduate of an English
college, was Il literatus, and wrote the
English language more fuently than
most of his countrymen were able to
handle the mandarin characters. Be
sides these accomplishments Mr.. HO
was Il diplomatist, and his natural
adaptabilty in this regard had been
cultivated by the practice entailed in
lengthy residence ut the legation at
Washington. Mr.. IIo came to San
Francisco as vice-c0nSul. Six CONSUL
generals had been during the preced-
ing three years sent by Pekin to San
Francisco to settle the trouble, and
each had been successfully recalled,
leaving the situation unchanged. The
whole of the merchant and general
business class was reduced to the last
straits. Clothing, slipper, cigar manu-
facturers. all members of the Sam
Yups, had gone into bankruptcy by
wholesale, and many merchants had
failed, the loss to this class hggregat-
ing millions. Many regarded the
trouble as beyond settlement, We're
packing the effects which it was I'M
possible to sell. and were leaving for
China. there to resume permanent
abOdps. Within another twclvemonth

Gun in the Heart of u Tree.

Charles Il. Berkshire while chopping
down Il big oak tree near Cheat river
discovered an old tint-lock musket of
the revolutionary-war pattern tightly
imbedded in the heart of the tree and

Chaves, who is 20 years old, was cut on the chin and head and had several ribs broken, possibly internal injuries. Roncio, Is years of age, sustained a fractured thigh and punctured wound of the calf of the leg.
