STORY OF A STRING OF FISH.
Odd Mistake Made by IA Fisherman
who Was Hit by a Fish's
Tail.

This is a story of a string Of fish and
what came of fisherman's odd mis-
take. With his string of sea food"
dangling from his left shoulder and his
fishing tackle" under his arms or in
his hands the fisherman, accompanied
by companion disciple of Isaac Wal
ton, was returning cityward over the
Randolph street yiaduct at sundown,
to q close, relates the Chicago Chron-
icle. Behind the pair by only
few feet was young sailor just come
ashore. Whether it was that the tar had
not yet found his land legs" or whether
he had found one of the bumboats
on which fire water is sold on the lake
front he certainly showed in his style
Of movement a peculiarly devious gyra-
tion that exposed him to suspicion
from all observers.
II so happened that one of the fish in
the great long dangling string was still
alive and occasionally gave swirl with
its tail that impaired a Jumping" eff
feet to the little body. This seeming
jump on one or two occasions became so
energetic that the frightened fisher
man mistook 1t for thump. Glancing
back he thought he saw the gyrating
wayfarer cover with fear, That was
enough. He struck out from the shoul-
der. Before the blow of the fisher
mans strenuous fist the wabbling tar
went down in a heap. Ere yet more
harm could be done n citizen who had
noticed the jumping fish and accurate
ly diagnosed the fisherman's impress
sion came forward with the eXplana-
tion that the lash of the piscatorial tail
and body upon the fisherman's back
was wrongfully supposed by the latter
to be blow from the fist of the drunk
en- sailor.
Apologies followed, and as> the tar
had been sobered rather than injured
by the collision with the fisherman's
fist, the last seen of the two they were
strolling off arm in arm toward a
neighboring "bouffet."

A WHISTLINc SPIDER.
Queer Insect Found by n MRssachu-
sctts Man In n Prohibition
District.

II. A. Peters, one of the owners Of
the Lashaway dairy farm near Spencer,
Mass, while on his way TO Spencer
lately captured an immense spider Of
unknown species. When Mr.. Peters
first saw the spider, which was MAX
ing bee line over the public highway
for East Brookfield, he was 80 amazed
at the sight that he rubbed both eyes
several times before he could realize
that the monster was a reality. Then,
hastily grasping an empty glass milk
jar, Peters jumped from the wagon
and was about to make the stranger q
prisoner, when he was startled by the
distinctly audible whistle emanating
from the insect, says New York ex-
change.
Instantly flock of minute fac
SMILES of the peculiar spider came
rushing from all directions, clambered
up the legs of the big spider and hid
themselves in the fuzzy hair on it's
back.
This was more than Peters could
stand, especially as after securing her
young, Mrs, Spider assumed defensive
attitude.
Peters thrust the mouth of the jar
over the whole family of spiders and
made them prisoners. Hundreds have
since viewed the monster and, its Off
spring, and all are puzzled.
The body of the large spider is ~
inches in length. The body is black
and is supported by eight powerful
legs, each two inches long. The head
is supplied with powerful-looIing jaws,
from which two feelers, one-half inch
in length, protrude. The beadn eyes
are jet black.

BIRDS THAT LIVE IN COLONIES
Many South African Feathered Crca-
lures Develop the Social
Instinct.

The social weaver birds of South
hrica build their nests in colonies un-
Ter common umbrella-like roof,
probably woven for defensive pur-
poses against the intrusion of snakes.
The gardener, one of the bower birds,
constructs its highly decorated nest
With adjoining ornamental spaces, ap-
oarently for the purpose of furnishing
IN attractive meeting place for social
intercourse with her fellows. The
spotted collar bird,-a cousin of the
.row-prepares its artistic bower,
sort of assembly room ornamented
With shells, pebbles and other bright
,olored bric-a-brac, where in due time
'estive gatherings are held, and much
iparent mutual admiration attends
strutting and dancing of the males.
The European lapwing also carries
'ut its taste for social intercourse to
he extent Of holding dancing parties,
described by Hudson. At these the
,irds, who live in pairs, are Joined by
: third and all three, keeping step,
,egin rapid march, uttering reso-
iant drumming notes in time with
heir movements. As the march ceases
he leader stands erect, while the 9TH
'rs bow before ii, and the visitor re-
urns to its own quarters, to receive
return call from one of the other
wo, when the quaint performance is
'epeated.

BUILT WHOLLY OF PAPER.
English Hospital Near London where
the Wounded Soldiers from
Africn Are Cared For.

The return of so many wounded sol
diers from South Africa to Great Brit
ain has taxed the local hospitals to
the utmost, so that all sorts of emer-
gency homes must be provided for the
sick. The oldest of all is "a paper hos
pital" in the suburbs. Not far from
London, at Netley, is to be found a
whole paper city with a population of
500 men--all in paper wrapping This
paper city is the convalescent ranch of
the Netley hospital, and the material
of which it is built is papier mache. 1t
is a new idea for a hospital hut There
are 45 of these huts behind the red
brick hospital building, and in each of
them are ten men, who as a rule spend
fortnight in the paper city.
The houses Of this cityIare glistening,
white, lean, long and businesslike. At
the end, and so that there may be
curtain at the doorway and no draught,
is bulging porch. Fluttering from
each of the windows is a scarlet cur
tain to give n touch of color to the
white landscape. Inside the papier
mache buildings it is all quietude and
comfort. Each building is SO feet long.
Ranged along the length are ten beds,
with easy spring mattresses that can
allow for the tossing of man still in
pain, even if he is convalescent. Be
side each bed is room for the neces-
sary kit, and at one side of the hut is
the wooden mess table,

HIS PERSISTENCY WON OUT.
A Chicago Policeman Builds n House
of Bricks Picked Up in the
Streets.

In the northwestern part of Chicago
there is a neat little cottage; in it
lives a Chicago policeman, When it is
known how the policeman secured the
bricks for the foundation of his cozy
home it will be understood that he
has the patience of Job and uncom-
mon perseverance, says the Chronicle.
In the first place, the foundation
bricks represent no money outlay
All they cost was effort. When the
officer made up his mind to build a
house for hs small family heconceived
the idea Of picking up stray bricks
on the street and taking them home.
Every day of his life he kept a look
out for bricks that fell from passing
wagons. Not night passed but he
took home n sackful of bricks. Some
times only two or three; occasionally
ten OF dozen would represent his
labor Of a day, Oftentimes when at
leisure he visited railroad yards and
there always found a rich field and
increased the rapidly growing pile,
His strange idea became q lole among
his associates many months before
the house was built. He is often
spoken of to-day as "the policeman
who bought brick house brick at Il
time

ORIGIN OF OSCILLATION.
kissing Is Quite a Modern Practice
and Wns Unknown TO the
Ancients.

According to Prof. Cesare Lombro-
so, the distinguished Italian Grimm
ologist, kissing is quite modern
practice and originated in very GU
rious manner, says the New York Her.
aid The kiss, rs a token of affection.
was unknown to the old Greeks, and
neither in Homer nor In Heriod do
we find any mention of IL. Hector did
not kiss his Andromache when he
bade her farewell, neither did Paris
press his lips to those of the beaute-
Gus Helen, and Ulysses, who was more
of cosmopolitan than any man of
his day, never dreamed of kissing the
enchanting Gree, and when after long
wanderings he returned home to his
spouse, Penelope, he satisfied himself
with putting one of his stalwart arms
around her waist and drawing her to
him.
The people Of Terra del Fuego, says
Lombroso, have taught civilized ma
tions the origin of the delightful art
of kissing. Drinking vessels are un-
known in that country, and the
people, when thirsty, simply lie down
beside brooks and drink the water as
1t flows by them, It is evident, how
ever, that infants could not satisfy
their thirst in this primitive fashion,
and therefore their mothers have for
ages supplied them with water by fill
ing their own mouths first and then
letting 1t pass through their lips in
to the eXpectant mouths of their little
ones. In some places the banks of the
brooks and rivers are so high that
water cannot be obtained in the usual
manner, and the mothers in such
places draw 1t up through long reeds.
Birds feed their young ones in II
similar manner. They first fill their
own mouths with water and then
transfer it to the wide open mouths
of the little ones. This very ancient
maternal practice is, according to
Lombroso, the only source to which
the modern practice of kissing can be
traced. The custom of pressing one
mouth to another originated with the
women in Terra del Fuego, who could
only supply their infants with drink
in this manner, and it Is presumable
that they learned the lesson from the
birds. Finally, we are told that kiss
ing is an evidence of atavism and a
memorial of that early stage in our
development during which the wife
had not yet triumphed over the moth
er nor love over maternity"
Lombroso's views on this subject
meet with the general approval OF
scientists, though there are some who
point out that his explanation of the
origin of kissing is not in accordance
with the one handed down to us by
the old Romans. These latter main
tanned that the kiss was invented by
husbands, who desired to ascertain in
this way whether during their alb
sence from home their wives had been
drinking their wine or not.

GERMANS IN UNITED STATES.
Milwaukee Has the Largest Teutonic
Population of Any city in
This Country.

Milwaukee, famous for it's beer, may
now claim distinction as being the
German city" of the United States.
There are more Germans in Milwaukee
in proportion to it's population than
in any other city, says the Chicago
Chronicle. The percentage of popula-
tion Is &c and Hoboken is n close sec
only 3S per cent. and Chicago 81 per
cent. Boston is at the bottom Of the
Fist, with a German population of only
seven per cent. Of the total. Detroit,
Buffalo, Cleveland, Newark, Cincinnati
and Jersey City have larger percent
ages OF Germans in their populations
than either New York or Chicago.
Among the states, Wisconsin leads
in proportion Of residents born in Ger
many. 1t is estimated that $4,000 ma
tive4born Germans are now located
there, or II per cent. of the total popu-
lation. New York, however, has the
largest number Of native-born Ger
mans-553, 600, but this is only nine per
cent. of the population. Illinois has
$4,000, or ten per cent. Minnesota,
with 10000, Is equal to Illinois In per-
centage. Iowa has IA, 900 Germans,
but percentage Of only eight, while
Massachusetts stands about at the

and a percentage OF one. The United

lat THAT MAKES HAIR GROW
L New Yankee Notion That Promises
to Drive Bald Heads from
Existence.

A Massachusetts Yankee has been
'empting immortality by inventing "A
;at the wearing of which will assure
the most baldheaded of the race Il
gew and luXuriant head of hair, says
5e New York Tribune. TO all out
gard appearances the new patent diff
ars not at all from the ordinary
erby. It's secret is concealed within
he crown. There, fastened to the in
erior of the crown, and thereby
aised an inch or more above the
air, is small metal receptacle. Into
his receptacle is locked a specially
repaired pad, which is soaked before
sing with a secret combination of
hemicals. When the hat is worn the
Ieat of the head generates a chemical
elton which throws off from the pad
apor. This vapor, acting on a per-
cctly bald scalp, will produce a new
'rop of hair, or if the hair has begun
o fall it will renew and strengthen
he growth. In this way a baldheaded
nan need lose no time in taking treat
nents, but may go about his business
serene in the certainty that the vapor
is doing It's work.

CIGAR STUBS OF CRIMINALS.
Tbey Have n Generic Similarity of
Value MS Clews to the De-
tectiye.

According TO Prof. Hans Gross. of
Berlin, valuable clews toward the de-
lection of criminals may be obtained
through an examination of cigar tips.
OF course, this applies to those who
smoke cigars the tips of which they
carelessly throw away in the street or
elsewhere, says the London News.
"If you pick up any tip" he says,
"and examine it closely the chances are
that you will be able to learn some
thing as to the personality and social
position Of the man who threw it away.
In the case of criminals the first point
10 be considered is the manner in which
IL was cut off from the cigar. If n
knife or any other instrument was
used for this purpose, then this instru-
ment will doubtless be found on the
criminal. If, on the other hand, it was
bit off with the teeth, a thorough ex-
animation Of the tip will show what
kind of teeth were used for this pur-
pose.
"a man with a row of even teeth will
bite off the end of his cigar squarely
and evenly, whereas one with Jagged.
uneven teeth will bite il unevenly and in
such manner as to leave clearly visi-
BILE the marks of his incisors. BY COM
pairing the marks on cigar tips with the
teeth of suspected criminals prosecut-
ing officers and detectives will be able
to obtain much informatio which they
could not possibly obtain any other
wsy."

The Garrison WINS Forgotten.

Marcel Monnier, a French literary
man, spent a considerable portion of
1899 in an extended journey through
China. On his way from Peking to
Tientsin he passed through the vii
lage of Yo-shi-Wo. Here garrison
of Chinese imperial troops had been
stationed since the outbreak of the
war with Japan. The troops had been
forgotten by the imperial military au-
thorities at Peking. Since they were
dumped down there not an order had
reached them and not n cent of pay
had been distributed among them.
