Sheriff stout and Deputies Gibson and Slankard returned at half past four o'clock yesterday morning with George Avery, who stabbed and cut Hank Barry on Saturday at Avery's ranch. The chances are against Bar rvs recovery. There Is a stab wound in the right side and slightly in the Tar which evidently p.netratcs the lung. There is a long, deep Bash diag- unally upward and backward from the stab wound. and another gash on the right upper arm.

She Was Too Kin l. Iearted.

There is one young woman living at
L'Anse, Mich, whose benevolent dis
position received a severe shock last
Sunday evening. She was at church
and sat directly behind a tall, we'll
dressed stranger, with a rayeling hang
ing to his collar. Being one of those
generous-hearted, wholc-souled girls
who grow up to be motherly old ladies,
a friend to everybody in town, she
thought how glad she would be If some
k~ind-hearted girl would do as much
FOR her father were he to go to church
with a raveling hanging down his back,
30 when the audience rose for the first
hymn she concluded to pick it off.
Carefully raising her hand, she gave a
little twitch, but it was longer than
she supposed, and a foot or moro ap-
peared. Setting her teeth, she gave a
pull and about a yard of that horrible
thread hung down his back. This was
getting embarrassing, but determined,
she gave it another yank and discov-
cred that she was ~unraveling his I'M
dershirt. Her discontinue was SO
painful that chloroform would noa
have alleviated her sufferings nor q
pint of powder hidden her bushes
when the gentleman turned with an
inquiring look to see what was tickling
his neck.

JOKE ON SNAKE cHARmER.
It Reacted on the Joker 10 an Unoom'
forfabla uav


Portable Way.
Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans,
when a young officer, was on the In
dian Station in the man-of-war Della
ware. With several others he set up a
bungalow on shore. He tells in "a
Sailors Log" published by tho Apple
tons, what happened to a snake-charm-
er that came along: "The unfortunate
thought came to one of our men that
it would be a good idea to get the Mo-
thammedan drunk to see what he would
do; so he prepared a dose for him
that was very effective. He poured a
good stiff drink CT brandy into a beer
glass, and then filed it with gin in
stead of water. The charmer took
kindly to the drink, and in a short time
rolled out of his chair on to the floor
very drunk, and was soon fast asleep.
The bag Of snakes had not been
thought of up to this time, but 1t also
fell, and the Inhabitants quickly spread
over the floor. In the meantime five
american officers took to the table,
and drawing their feet up carefully re-
NAMED there until the snake-charmer
slept off his dose. He snored quietly
while the snakes crawled over and
around him, but it was q long tins
before he finally came to himself, SO
cured his pets and took them away,
We did not repeat that experiment"

broke his picket rope, ran f%uriously
round me for or five times in circles,

old Paraguayan, told me that the crea-

another horse. But" said he, God
has given every animal speech after its

For the bristies In the paint and
whitewash brushes America is indebted
lto the patient labor of women and
children in their homes in Mexico. The
material of which these brushes are
largely made Is the ixtle, istle, or Tam
ipico3 fbre, from the plant of that name.
America imports mor than 5000 tons
OF ixtle ibre q year, a third OF the en-
tire output Of Mexico, and we pay to
our Southern neighbor $266,0o0 for 1t.
The ixtle plant is one Of the numerous
maguey family Of plants and grows to
81 height Of from IL to 16 feet. It can
be propagated either from seeds or
sc,ons. preferably the latter. The CEN
.ernl stalk and the seeds and seed pods

b an exception to most OF the hbre-
producing species, as 1t grows on the
9plands and never is found near the
.Raacoast or In the hot regions OF the
southern part Of Mexico. Throughout
fhe Central and Northern States it
may be found growing wild on the
highland plateaus. The Mexicans use
the fibre for making stout bags and
ropes. The thick. meaty leaves Of the
plant, after cutting, are put into water
and brought to a scalding point. Then
they are placed on a board with a
clamp at one end that holds two or
three leaves, like a ~letter-clip, and the
pulp is scraped away from the long,
tough fibre with a knife OF the rib Of
q horse. This work is done by women
and children.

THE DREADFUL MousE
Some Amusing Instances of It's Av

Some Amusing Instances OF Its Awe.
some Influence on Women.
In the course Of a recent discussion
Of the antipathy Of most ome to
mice, a New York lawyer related a
curious incident. An Italian wal try
ing, IN a street corner, to sell white
mice, n of which, by way Of attract
ing the attention of the passers-by, he
allowed to sit upon his hat brim. Two
women noticed the mouse, and
stopped. The owner lifted 1T down
and began to describe its good quail
ties-tts tameness, its beauty, its do
cility-in the hope of effecting q sale.
In the middle of his discourse the lit
tie creature made q sudden spring, and
alighted upon the arm of n OF the
women. She gazed for a moment with
dilating eyes of horror, and then, with
a loud Shrek, fell in a faint to the
sidewalk. She was carried into the
nearest shop and it was twenty min
utes before she recovered conscious
ness. The curious thing about 1t IS
that a policeman, attracted by the
connection, recognized her as a daring
criminal, whose portrait was in the
rogue's gallery, and whose offenses
against the law had been accompanied
by violence; she had been twice con-
victed Of assaults with knife and
pistol. Yet this lawless and dangerous
virago collapsed at contact with a
mouse! Charles Reade, the novelist,
recognized the complete dissertation
between this shuddering antipathy and
any feebleness of will or courage. In
one of his best tales his Scotch hero
Inc, a dauntless fsher-girl, who has
dared the elements all her days, and
has but a moment before braved the
wrath Of a drunken sailor, shrinks ter
rified from a mouse with a string TIED
to Its leg, which a small child tried to
show to her. A friend points cut her
Inconsistency. "a mouse is an awe
some beast; it's not like a man." ex-
plains Christie, i~ngenuously. To most
women, and not a few men, mice are
as our modern outdoor girls continue
still "awesome' beasts. Nevertheless,
to improve their nerve and eliminate
hysteria, the number that scream, faint
Or lose their s%elf-control at the sight
of a scared little gray shadow skit-
tering harmlessly across the floor,
tends steadily to decrease. They may
not like a mouse any better than their
great-grandmothcrs did; but they do
not like to let a mouse render them RI
diculous.-Youth's Companion.

Queer ideas o: Justice.

uuSuE AuOAS OH CubeACes
Some of the justices of this city APP
pear to have taken a singular view Of
their duties and prerogatives, says a
recent Manchester, England, dispatch.
The cas- of Hugo Shaw and w. H.
Hughes-who have rightly resigned a
position for which they were clearly
unftted-has created a great sensation,
and has drawn a letter from the home
secretary in approval OF the censure
Of the city justices. These two gentle
men have escaped lightly, for they
were guilty Of about as %scandalous a
breach of magisterial decorum al can
be imagined. From the report fur
nished by the chief constable we gath
er that when a local publican was to
be summoned for, permitting drunken
ness on his premises these two Justices
made repeated attempts to induce the
police to. refrain from prosecuting.
Moreover, when the a was called on
they were found on the bench, and
when the police shifted the case to the
other court, Messrs. Shaw and Hughes
moved after them. Having done all
they could to stop the case they thrust
themselves upon the bench out Of
their turn, There is a strong hint in
the chief constable's report that undue
influence Is frequently brought to bear
on licensing cases in Manchester.

rroposed runns, Under Son.

The bringing of the Isle of Wight
into closer communication with tho
mainland by the construction of a SUBJ
marine tunnel has been proposed. Tho
idea is by no means an original one,
since it was first suggested over If
teen years ago. The present idea, how
ever, is to penetrate the bed of the
Solent, near Hurst castle, and to
emerge upon the island at Totland
bay, heal the Needles. The channel at
this point is two miles in width and
the preliminary surveys have revealed
the fact that the soil through which
the tunnel viii extend is favorable to
the rapid completion of the work, so
that no unusual engineering difficulties
will be experienced. The enterprise
is well supported financially and the
application for the necessary powers
will be made during the coming par
liamentary session. 1t Is estimated
that the total cost Of the project Will
amount to $780, 900 and that it can
be completed within two and a half
years.-Chicago Journal.

Dangers Of snur Taking.

AS the nerves of our nostrils are so
little protected, they are very delicate
and sensitive, and when we take snuff
all the nerves in the body are affected
In sympathy. In consequence, snuff
taking, like smoking, has a narcotic
effect upon the brain, and naturally
acts upon the intelligence. Thus 1t
can easily be seen that it weakens the
memory. If we were to use 1t only
as a medicine or an occasional slim
ulant, there would be some advantage
in using it. If used constantly 1t in
flames the nostrils, and may produce
an incurable polypus. To those who
make blood quickly, or are feeble, or
suffer from ulcers, nothing can be
more p%rejudicial. Snuff takers have
generally weak sight. In short, it is
q most pernicious habit. and one that
ought TO be fought vigorously.

How Qua!Is Are Fattaned.

A curious account of how quails are
fattened for the market is given in a
London paper. It appears that quails.
being regular in their habits, always
feed directly they wake up in the
morning. They are, therefore, put in
a large cellar, lit only by electric
light. In the dark they go to sleep,
but directly the light is turned on
they wake up and breakfast. This
process Is repeated time after time and
the birds, always laboring under the
delusion that morning has arrived,
once more breakfast, over and over
again. They have been known to do
