THE BROWN PELICAN.
Like His White Brother the BIT" Is
Likely to BE Exterminated
in Florida.

Bird Lore has a beautifully illus
trated article on Pelican island, in
the Indian river, and the editor in
vokes the aid of the Jacksonville
Times-Union in the effort to save
this harmless and picturesque bra
from the determination that has al
ready overtaken his white brother OF
our coast. 1t is pointed out that the
brown pelican of Florida has now
only one rookery, which is so con
venient to the reckless gunners that
slaughter during the helpless period
of incubation is doing It's appointed
work.
The legislature would gladly add
another good law to our statute
book. but has this availed to save the
egret. the paroquet, or the pink cur
lew? Until the people themselves
sternly repress such cruelty it VIII
continue in defiance of law, and II Is
better not to tempt defiance and en-
courage the spirit of lawlessness
The Floridian instinctively revolts
against any appearance of inhoSpl'
tality. Too many are interested IN
seeking every pastime for those VINO
care nothing for our future. We fear
the pelican must go the way of the
hamingo.

SPICES GREAT SNAKES.
Remarkable Accomplishment OF
Yale Professor In This
Line.

Prof. Dickson, of Yale, camping on
Indian Creek. Col, has demonstrated
the possibility of welding two snakes
together so that the bodies would
unite and continue TO grow as one,
says the New York World.
While it was admitted that human
parts could be made to grow togeth-
er. 1t was contended that the slug
gish circulation of the reptiles would
initiate against success.
A RATHER was extended with an
iron hoop circling his head. An adj
der was obtained and cut in two. Inc
RATHER was treated in the same way.
The rear half of the adder was then
sewed to the front of the rattler with
a strong thread, and after "a hours
the iron collar was removed and the
composite reptile was placed in a
cage, where he squirmed around with
every evidence of vitality in his neher
end.
The absence of the customary rat
tie and warning puzzled the RATHER
when a rabbit was showed into the
den. His supply of virus, however,
was not diminished by his curtail-
ment. for when he struck the rabbit
II began to swell and in an hour was
dead. The metamorphosed RATHER
will be kept under scientific scrutiny
for the next two months.

THE WAITS REVENGE.
A Little Street Girls Way of Getting
Even with n Man Who Wouldn't
Buy Her Wares.

This amusing story is told by the
president of New Bedford bank,
writes the Chatterer, in Boston Her.
aid. One day not long ago he and
other officers and directors were en-
gagged in a business meeting, held in
the directors room of the bank, and as
they believed themselves secure from
intrusion they were much surprised
to see a poor little waif enter the room
something which any man Of bust
ness affairs would not dare to do I'M
der such conditions. The little girl,
stability clothed and pinched looking,
had all unconsciously entered on for
hidden ground, but this she didn't real
ize, and at once went to the men seat
ed about the big table, offering them
small cakes of soap fQE sale.
The very first director whom she
approached shook his head, impatient
at the interruption Of business, and
said, sharply: 81 never use it," The
tiny peddler, unabashed, went from
man to man-all the others, out of pity
for her wan little figure, buying of her.
AS she started TO leave the room, after
thanking each purchaser, the girl
hesitated a moment in front of the d.
rector who never ted soap, according
to his own declaration, and, looking
him over from head to foot, said, dis
dainfully: well yer look it," and
then she swept ont Ike duchess.

KEEP YOUR BLOOD CLEAI
THOSE MARRYING TEACHERS.
Match Between One Couple VINO hHde
Each Others Acquaintance
in an Odd Way.

There was romantic story Of one
couple in particular. They were intro
duced by.a mutual friend on shore as
they stood al the rail when the trans
port was pulling out, some ten feet
of San Francisco bay dividing the lady
who presented the pair from the pres
entees, reports the Honolulu CONNER
cial Advertiser. This introduction,
however, though not the most formal,
evidently was very effective. They be-
came friends, and blythe time the
shades of night had settled and the
mainland had faded from the horizon
it was evident that they. had found IN
each others company some consola-
ton for the hardship of leaving their
happy homes to journey into a far
country.
The second day left them violently
in love, and on the third day the young
man led the blushing maiden TO the
captain, with the request that the
twain be made one as fast as he (the
captain) could tie the knot. Capt.
Buford, however, has had considerable
experience, and has observed with
some care the result of the moonlight
at sea, and he advised the young peo-
pie to wait Until they arrived at Hon
olulu. This they unwillingly did, but
it is said that the ceremony was per-
formed by local minister-a homes

LOUISVILLE FIRE CATS.
Born In an Engine House They De-
come Fond of n Run with
the Machine.

"Bobs" and Exit" are two coal black
kittens which love excitement. They
are about six months old and were
born at the No. hook and ladder
house, says the Courier-Journal
Their mother had spent her whole life
in the fire department, having lived at
several of the engine houses and hav-
ing moved from one to another when
ever her owner was transferred. She
has slept on the top Of the hook and
ladder truck since she has been at the
No. 4 house, and has been carried to
fires with the company a number of
times. If an alarm came in -' IN she
was asleep on the truck ST. never
took the trouble to move, but would
remain on the truck until it returned
from the fire.
Her two kittens seem to have inner
tied her love for the fire department
and since they have been old enough
to run about they have gone to almost
every fire. When an alarm comes in
the kittens will make a run for the
truck and climb to the top of it. AS
the big truck sways through the
streets the kittens hang on, apparent
ly enjoying the exciting ride. At the
fire they never venture off the truck
but curl up and go to sleep. Several
times the fremen have attempted to
make the kittens stay away from fires
but every alarm that comes in finds
them at their post on top of the truck

|. The farm OF Cyrus Barnhart, near
Greensburg, Pa, was chosen for the
demonstration. Cyrus has tree and a
hen. At the foot of the tree she made
a nest and laid eggs in it. Then she set
about Matching them.
A thunderstorm came up. The tree
was struck by lightning and demol-
ished. The eggs were broken. The
hens maternal designs were vetoed.
The hen was cooked thoroughly, in

plative on her dozen of eggs. The
next. before the flash had died away,
she was roast chicken. Not feather

QUEER FORM OF HYSTERIA.
Remarkable Manifestations by WOm-
en- in a Turkish Town I'm
Asia Minor.

DR.. Dimopoulos, a medical practi-
toner of the town of Kutahia. in Asia
Minor, sends to Smyrna journal
particulars of an epidemic" among
women of that town, which has prob
ably no parallel in modern expert
ence, says correspondent of the
London Pail Mall Gazette About
three years ago a young women be-
came subject to a form of hiccough
like the crow of a cock, which re-
sisted treatment; soon after a second
began to hiccough like a cat mewing,
and in six months there were go
women in the town affected with
what may be described as animal hic-
coughs, exceedingly varied. Braying,
barking, and sounds like those made
by the fox are included in the list.
DR.. Dimopoulos says that to be in a
room among a number of these
women was like an experience of the
forest or a menagerie. Some men are
affected, but the victims are mostly
women, which Is Ineligible If the
doctors theory is correct, that the
disease, for which he vouches, is a
form of initiative hysteria.

ONE MACHINE GUN.
Properly Worked IL Equal In Ehect
to Two Hundred Rifles Well
Handled.

The destructive power OF the ma
chine gun as compared to the small
arm even in large numbers has been
the subject of interesting trials
abroad reports of which have reached
the navy department here, says the
Baltimore Sun.
That one machine gun properly and
effectively worked Is equal to 200 rifles
in the hands of as many soldiers has
been amply demonstrated. Each shot
from the machine gun works greater
injury also to the body struck than the
small bullet of the army rifle, and It's
range is far greater.
In recent trials so marksmen were
chosen to compete with the Hotch-
kiss eight-millimeter gun, which has
lately been widely adopted in France
and Germany. The ranges fred were
from 400 to 500 yards. At 800 yards the
30 rifemen. each having five rounds in
dependently, obtained "a hits, or 22.o
per cent. of the number of rounds
fired. Thirty-two men were then
chosen from among the 81, ana these
had to fire each eight rounds in 30
seconds. Under these conditions "a,
or 1873 per cent. of the rounds eX'
pended, were recorded.
The machine gun was then brought
into action, and in 80 seconds fired 2ll
bullets, making 145 hits. 1t was
shown from the results that the ma
chine gun was far ahead in hits made
and rapidity of fire. No such practical
tests of the relative merits Of the ma
chine gun and number of small arms
have been made before.

AN ILLINOIS SNAKE.
7al<es Up Quarters I'm n Newspaper
once and Expels the
Mice .

Every well-regulated printing Office
has a watering can in which water Is
kept to wet the type. For want OF
better place, the one in the Home
journal office is usually kept on
window sill on the north side of the
room. One day during the recent
drought two of our printers were
sitting on their stools at this window
sticking type, when they were nearly
petrifed by the sight of snake pro-
truding its head above the sill from
the outside. The boys almost broke
their necks in getting away. Reach
ing over into the pan, the snake took
a good drink, and, before the startled
printers could SECURE club with
which to dispatch the reptile, it had
disappeared, says the Lacon Qlll
Home Journal.
The next day at the same hour the
snake came for another drink, and
this was repeated the third and
fourth days, but the last time it was
attacked from the rear by a big
black Thomas cat that makes its
home at Testers livery barn, next
door. 1t was a lively fight for few
seconds, but the cat was too much
for the snake, although it was fully
four feet long, and the reptile made
a shoot for the rear Of the office. The
cat was after it like a streak of light
ming, but the snake found a hole in
the brick wall and disappeared under
the building.
That was two weeks ago. Before
that time the printing office was
overrun with mice, but since then
there hasn't been a mouse about the
place. Any of our readers who are
troubled with mice are cordially in
vited to come and borrow our snake
for few days.

TEARS THAT ONIONS BRING.
They May BE Avoided by the Follow
ing Exceedingly Simple
Device.

The distressing flow of tears as
well as the smarting of the eyes that
atflict those preparing onions for
cooking or for the table may be
easily avoided by means at the COM
mand of everyone. The pungent odor
which affects the delicate membrane
surrounding the eyes is due to a
sulphurous oil which volatil rapid
" when the tissue of the vegetable
is broken in any way. To avoid the
effects of this vapor is easy if a
small pared potato is stuck in the
end of the knife with which the cut
ting is done. A chemical affinity at
tracts the fumes and their presence
is not manifest to the operator till
the potato has reached a certain de-
gree of saturation, when it can be
readily replaced by another.
Onions are among the finest nerve
tonics we have, and if spring onions
are chopped and spread between
sliced bread and butter they form a
sandwich which, if eaten at supper
time, will do a great deal toward In
surfing a good nights sleep.

Quo Vadis.

Can a sermon be preached or acted from the stage? After witnessing . perform ance of "Quo Vadis" ono must In truth answer ''yes." No one can attend this remarkable play without being benefited and uplifted by it. So reverentiy acted and so skillfully handled is the recital Of tho Lords Prayer by the aged Apostle Peter that no offense is given to those who hold religion as dear and sacred.
 Nothing could be in stronger or stranger contrast than the heartless. cruelty of the Emperor Nero and the saintiy Christians as they existed in the actual past. in the alluring story of the novelist and in the dramatization of the latter. It is possi. ble, Of course, to compress into brief play but . fraction of the novelists work, yet they have succeeded in preserving the spirit of the famous original and selected with discrimination its most striking passages.
 The Carpenter Dramatic Company, who produce this startling spectacle, is an or. ganlzation especially formed for it's pro- duction, which will be given here at the opera house on Monday, March 1lth.
 The scenery ia of the most elaborate nature and consists of eleven full page sets. It is such an unusual style of per formance that it is certain to attract at.
 
 affords excellent instruction and thought. fulness to ages long past, bringing back to mind scenes which will doubtless tend to soften and cultivate the intellect.
 The book, Quo Vadis," is for sale a, the Newsstand. ,..
