GOVERNOR AS A BAGGAGE PORTER.

Passengers on the Northern Pacific
coast train arriving in St. Paul the
other day were much interested in the
maneuvsrs OF a gallant gentleman Of
portly build, heavily laden with bag
gage and heading for the waiting room
Of the station, relates the New York
Times. The baggage belonged to two
New York ladies returning from tour
Of the Yellowstone National park.
About twenty-five miles north of St.
Paul the gentleman had boarded the
train to find the car crowded and the
ladies complaining that the men Of the
West were rude. The gentleman stood
in the aisle. Two of the acquaintance
of the portly gentleman who heard the
remark gave up their seats to the ag-
grieved tourists. When the train ar
rived at St. Paul the ladies gathered
about them their several pieces of bag
gage, altogether too many for their
combined efforts to manage. The port
ly man offered his services. Taking
two large grips in each hand, he work
ed his way through the crowd to the
waiting room, while many Of his &C
quaintances looked on in amusement,
After depositing the luggage in one Of
the seats their courier was about to
bow himself away, when one OF the la
dies asked to whom it was that they
were indebted for such kind service.
Samuel R. Van SAINT, the governor of
this state, madam" replied the portly
man. II am pleased to be given the
opportunity to redeem the Western
man in your estimation. You see, out
here our men are so busy earning their
living that in the general hustle they
occasionally step on their neighbours
toes" The governor was almost out
Of the building before the ladies had
recovered breath. Then the Older one
said: Gracious! Mary, but we would
be long time In New York before we
would have our luggage carried by the
governor of the state"

Bacteria of Physical Fatigue.

Professor Gautier, a distinguished
member of the Institut de France, has
advanced a startling theory on the
subject of perpetual youth. In isolat-
ing the bacteria Of physical fatigue, he
has found that it is a poison strongly
resembling ptomaine poison in nature
From this Professor Gautier deduces
that fatigue can, by tine use of disin-
fectants, be avoided like any other
poison, and consequently man, nc
longer suffering from wear and tear
need not weaken or age. So

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY

Piermont Park, at Atlanta, Ca, has
recently made strange acquisition
in a number of sea gulls, which now
make themselves at home on and
about the waters of little lake in the
park. The queer part of it is that they
came of their own accord, and seem
10 be satisfied with their new habitat,
three hundred and fifty miles away
from their natural one-the sea. AS
they appeared the day after severe
gulf storm, it is supposed that they
were driven there by the wind.

= STANDING CANE INJURED.

Diamond. - There was another
freeze Friday morning along the
lower coast, as predicted, and heavy
ice, after day Of warmer weather
and rain yesterday that caused some
interruption to field work. All stand.
ing cane is frozen hard and is being
out in half, the tops being too sour
for use and causing quite a heavy
loss. Standing cane is being ground
as rapidly as possible, which is safe
as long as the cool weather prevails,
but should the weather turn warm
and rainy the juice will ferment.
The Windrowed cane is safe, so plant
ers report.
The large cabbage crop that is
ready for the market was not in
jured, and truck planters are busy
planting out Irish potatoes in the
open field and covering them with
rice straw.

An English naturalist says that the
speed Of birds is often exaggerated.
The swift, for example, has been
credited with speed of $50 miles an
hour, and the popular imagination
compares the fight of sparrow-hawk
with that of cannon ball. Without
aid from the wind, he says, the pigeon
will fly about 10 miles an hour; but
the homing rigeoD may be relied on,
under fair conditions, to make 60
miles an hour. On a short course the
sparrow-hawk can outfy this, but it
frequently fails to catch smaller birds
that form its prey. - 3.

Z FOUR PRISONERS BREAK JAIL.
orowley.-A Jail delivery occurred
shortly after $3.50 o'clock Friday
sfternoon, when four prisoners es-
caped from the parish bastile. The
men who escaped were: Will Smith,
convicted Of murder in the first de-
gree and senteEced to be hanged;
Joseph James, sentenced to twenty
years in the poniteniary; Louis
Mitchell, charged with highway rob-
berry, and Charles Lawson, charged
/ WITH petit larceny. Of the four who
escaped the latter three have been
aptured,> but up until 8 O'Clock Fri
day evening Smith, the murderer,
/ was still at large.
Z The escape WAS made by digging n
I hde through the brick wall near the
Z northwest corner of the second story
oftbe Jail. They picked the cement
from the brick with @ small file,
which was found on the person of
Joseph James, aud kicked the bricks
from the wall. The hole through
{ which the four men orawled was not
more than seventeen inches square,
and was about twelve feet from the
! ground. They succeeded Ii roaohing
the ground by means of several
blankets, which they twisted and tied
together.
The escaping prisoners were first
discovered By q negro, known as
"Trusty" Guidry, who is charged
with some petty crime, and is allowed
bis liberty in the Jail yard. He eaw
the men crawling through the hole,
and Immediately went toethe court
house and gave the alarm. The dep
uties were soon behind them.
Charles Lawson was the first man
who escaped. He was caught in a
barn on The MilIiken place, in north
east Crowley, by r. L. Gross.
Joseph James and Louis Mitchell
we're captured by the deputies near
the Mattel farm, northwest of the
city, just rs they were entering the
woods.
The deputies and jailer left in such
hurry to reoapture the prisoners
when the alarm was first given that
theyrdid not stop to ascertain how
many were missing, and did not know
that the negro murderer, Smith, was
gone until the three other mon had
been captured and returned to the
iail.

that Smith took the same route as

The suggestion is made in London
that while they are installing an up
to-date underground electric railway
it would be good idea to arrangefora
supply Of ozonized air to the passen-
ger coaches. 1t is pointed out that
car-sickness is in large measure due
to the vitiated air in coaches and tun-
nels. 1t would be a comparatively
easy matter TO supply each train with
an ozonizing apparatus, inasmuch as
such devices are operated electrically.
II is even suggested that the steam
underground roads might arrange for
such an outfit by driving it from the
car axles, just as dynamos are driven
for the generation of current for car
lighting. ~

Some one has said that the Egyp-
tians were the only nation that ever
had sufficient patience to domesticate
the cat. A very high idea of human
patience is given by the account of a
correspondent of Forest and Stream,
who has, he says, tanned common
cat to retrieve. Patience, gentleness,
entire absence of force was his max
inns. Whenever game had been killed
the cat was led TO it and the game was
given to him. Next the cat sought the
| game on his own account. Next, he
| was taught to stay close to his master,
at first perched on his shoulder. He
was then taught not to fear the sound
of the gun, beginning with little car,
bine, then proceeding to the fowling,
piece. When the gun was fired com.
mon ball was pitched forward by the
! master and the connection between
the report Of the piece and retrieving
was established. Then dead bird
was substituted for the ball, and II
was at first thrown from the hand
and afterwards dropped from the
branch of distant tree The educa
ton of this particular cat is now com
plete. He retrieves perfectly, points
sometimes, and in general conducts
himself like a hunting dog. The biol
ogists deny the inheritance of &C
CURED characteristics; If it were not
| for their doctrine this learned animal
might become the progenitor Of lons
|! line of useful hunting cats. AS 1t is
he stands as living monument tt
human patience and as a proof thai
even the cat may be educated.

The jet of water, so useful in n.y.
draulic mining, Is now employed by
engineers in building reservoir dams.
The jet is directed against the upper
slopes of valley, and the sandy soil
and gravel thus washed out are car
ried by the force of the stream to the
site Of the dam in the lower part Of
the valley. The jet is so managed
that it not only carries the materials
where they are wanted, but consoli-
dates them in position, dropping the
larger stones at the sides and bearing
the finer material to the centre of the
dam. So we'll is the jet managed that
il does it's work as we'll as human
hand could do 1t, so far as accuracy is
concerned, with o Immediately in
creased force. 1t reminds one of old
Amphion, who built the walls of The
bes with no help but his Tyre, putting
the stones in place by the notes.
