PhiladsldhiA's Log Cabin.

The only log cabin in Philadelphia is
to be torn down to make way for the
widening Of Mermaid lane. near Chest
nut hill. The old cabin, which stands
at the corner of Mermaid lane and
Germantown avenue, has been in con-
slant use ~ a residence since 1t was
erected by Christopher Yeakel in 1743.
It u one-story structure. built en-
trely Of hewn logs, and for many
years has been one of the picturesque
sights Of upper Germantown. 1t Is still
called the Yeaksl cottage, and al
though more than century and half
old, it has always preserved a cozy
and homelike air. 1t is said to be the
only survivor in this part Of the coun
try of style Of dwelling that once
prevailed almost universally outside
the cities and towns.-Philadelph

BlV ALEE'S Envy.


Curious way starhsh Dsvours ~
The oyster when at home lives in
q hard lime shell which nicely pro-
tects him from the attacks Of enemies.
Man, with his tools, can open the shell
Aod remove the soft animal. but be-
sides man the oyster has few foes.
Oddly enough, his greatest foe Is not,
- might be expected. an animal with
q powerful jaw and strong teeth, but
ous wholly without jaws. 1t Is the
common starfish. so common every
where at the seashore Now, the star
Ash Is a soft. flexible creature, very
sluggish, seemingly helpless and ut
tDrfy unable to attack such an animal
o the oyster. Its mouth, which u
the center OF the disk has no teeth
q Jaws. How can such a helpless
creature open the formidable oyster
shell and get at the animal concealed
within? Its method Of doing 30 Il
odd enough 1t first clasps the oyster
IN its arms, wrapping its Ave arma
around the shell tightly. Having thus
seized the oyster, it quietly waits. Just
exactly what happens next even ouI
scientists do not exactly know. The
two shells Of the oyster are held to-
gSther by hinge which is opened BY
. spring. The spring is so adjusted
that the shells will be pushed open
unless they are held together by the
muscles Some scientists tell us that
after the starfsh has held the oyster
for awhile the oyster opens its shell
IN order to get food, and the starfish
that has been waiting for this now in
}eots into the shell little reddish
liquid. This acts as a poison, says H.
U. Conn. in ST. Nicholas paralyzing
the muscles and thus making it i'm
possible for the animal to close its
shells tightly together until the oyster
is smothered. AS soon as 1t Is stupe-
ned by the suffocation the muscles re-
lax and the shell opens Whichever
of these two accounts is true 1t is
certain that after little the oyster
shells fly open. Now comes the oldest
feature of all. The stomach OF the
starfish is very large and elastic, and
it is now thrown out of the animals
mouth much as one would turn a bag
inside out. This stomach is then
thrust within the oyster shell and
wrapped around the soft animal, be-
ginning at once to digest it. The
starhsh does not take the trouble even
to remove the oyster from It's shell,
digesting 1t in its own home and event
ually crawling away, leaving behind
the gaping. empty shell.

Prince Avoids Orleans.

One reason for the prince of Wales
irving up his intended visit to Marien-
bed at the last moment was his desire
to avoid a meeting with the duke OF
Orleans, who had prolonged his stay
at that watering place In order that
he might be there when the prince ar
rived. It is believed that the duke of
Orleans had intended to force a fussy
and forh reconciliation upon the
prince, and to make him a scene"
The queen has never invited him, and
the prince of Wales has taken no no
tice of him for long time past.-Lon-
don Truth.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
tutional remedies. Deafness IS caused by an
lnflamed condition Of the mucus lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is int1amed
ing, and wheE 1t is entirely closed deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucuS surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
Of Deafness (cauSed by catarrh) that cannot

A New Fire Extinguisher,

A scientist suggests that milk be
used to eNtinguiSh the flames of kero-
sene, because milk forms an emulsion
with the oil. which makes it accom-
plish its object more quickly" The

ton, Indigestion. dyspepsia, biliousness
or tlatulency, is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Try it also for malaria, fever

Forty-Mile Eide for ia Penny.

TLh Russian government has decided
upon the introduction of specially
cheap fares upon the Trans Siberian
railway i'll order to encourage emiglai-
tion to the country. A ticket from Rus
sia to Toholsk only costs Il little over
81, and from Tobolsk to any station
whatever in Siberia the fare is only 0
shillings. Thus the Iripper can cover
about 5000 miles for between $500
and $4.Oo.

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1900-05-11
STREET NEEDS ATTENTION
Many Complaints About Bridge
Over North Hudson r. r.
Cut.

There is considerable complaint con-
cerning the condition of the bridge that
spans the cut through which the Summit
avenue line of cars of the North Hudson
County Railway Company run up and
down the Hill. When the block in which
the bridge is located was recently opened
up and sidewalks laid the grade of the
sidewalks was raised several inches
higher than the footpaths of the bridge.
AS the unimproved roadway slopes from
the centre of the block after every rain,
water finds its way down to the bridge,
bringing dirt from the roadway along
with it. Sometimes for days after a
heavy rain the bridge is but a quagmire.
But the most complaint is from pedes-
trians who use the thoroughfare at night.
The only light in the near vicinity is fur
nished by five or six incandescent lamps
at the entrance to the stairway leading
down to the car station. The sudden drop
from the pavement of several inches on
the opposite side of the bridge causes
many people to stumble. Women and
children are thrown on all fours and it is
a common sight to see them limping away
in pain.

Babies OF a Year.

1t will probably startle good many
persons to find. on the authority of a WELL
known statistician, that could the infants
of year be ranged in line of cradles
the cradles would extend round the globe.
The same writer looks at the matter in a
still more picturesque light He imagines
the babies being carried past given
point in their mothers arms, one by one,
and the procession being kept up night
and day until the last hour in the twelve
had passed by. A sufficiently lib
eral rate is allowed, but even in the going
past at the rate of twenty a minute, 1900
an hour during the entire year, the re-
viewer at his post would only have seen
the sixth part fthe intantile host In
other words the babe that had to be car
ried where the tramp began dould be able
to walk when but a mere fraction of its
comrades had reached the reviewers $
post, and when the years supply Of babies
was drawing to close there would be a
rear guard, not of infants, but of romp-
ing six year old boys and girls.
