Strand DIssraceful Place.

The Pail Mall Gazette, discussing the recent brutal conduct of the crowds assembled in London to wit ness demonstrations of surpassing popular interest, says: But the ques- tion of the state of our streets is not confined to some gala day. The Strand on any Sunday night is disgrace to our civilization. No one would care to walk with lady along the Strand on Sunday night, the chances being so many that she would be insulted Tn the metropolis at least there is dis tinct deterioration in the manners of the crowd And this deterioration is coincident with the rise of that ac- cursed thing called 'Hooliganism. It is incredible the mischief that band of these eyil-smelling young ruffians can perpetrate under cover of a crowd of people Their one desire is to cause pain and annoyance and neither wom- en nor children are exempt from their brutality

Crusade Against Hunters.

A crusade is being made against the hunters who have made such relent- less fight against the grouse, prairie chickens, doves, larks and song birds of all kinds in and about Chadron. Neb, Year after year the hunters have invaded the fields with guns and dogs after the grouse and chickens until they have disappeared from the prai- rles, and they have followed this up with assaults upon the meadow larks and song birds until few birds are now to be seen where they once hovered in large flocks. Grasshoppers and other insects have increased with the de- crease of the birds.

A Tiny Planet.

The astronomer in charge ot the Harvard Observatory. at Arequipa, Peru, announces that he has succeeded in obtaining four photographs of the recently discovered planet Eros. This tiny orb-a Teritable toy world, it might be called-is only about nine mics in diameter. One reason for the interest attaching to it is that it is the nearest to the earth, and nearest like wise to the sun. of all the minor planets In 1894 it was only 15,000 GOO miles away from us, a mere trife of distance from an astronomical point of view, and this month it will ap- proach within 8,000,0 900 miles.

Bagglng a Peers Calf.

The moors of Yorkshire and Scot land have been alive with shooters The crack of the gun has been heard on every hand. for grouse shooting has opened for the year. During the shoot ing season in Great Britain accidents are comparatively rare, considering the first-class opportunities to blow off a companions head or drill hole through his back But accidents do happen and the first man to be shot this season was Lord Binning, The noble lord is a bit of wag, and even when half his leg was perforated with shot from his own gun and he was sitting against hedge waiting for d stretcher to be brought his wit did not desert him, for. as the doctor was binding up his wounds. he remarked: "I came out to kill grouse-but, 'pon my soul, I seem to have bagged calf.'

Wearing Out the Brain.

A French scientist has determined that the military and naval professions most quickly wear out the brain. Out of 100000 naval and military men, 199 are confrme lunaties, Next come the liberal professions, artists heading the list, followed closely by lawyers, and more distantly by doctors, clergy, lit- efary men, and civil servants. The number of those who go mad is IF to each 100, 900. Domestic servants and day laborers run the profession men very close, sending 155 out of each 1O0, 900 to the asylum. These are followed at long distance by mechanics, only sixty-siX of whom go mad in each 100000. And the group which is most favorable to sanity is, contrary to gen. eral belief, that of commercial men, which sends only forty-tWo out of 100,- GOO to the asylum

Age of'Bip Frees.

Referring to the age of the big trees of California, Prof. C. E. Bessy records in Science" that he once counted with much care the rings of growth of the tree of which the stump constitutes the floor of the so-called dancing pa Vlllon. This count was made from cir conference to center, and every ring in all that distance was counted, TO estimates or guesses being made The result was that l, ,147 rings were count ed and accordingly it is safe to say that this tree, which was fully twenty four or twenty-five feet in diameter. and considerably more than 300 feet in height, acquired these dimensions in 1,147 years. Prof, Bessy doubts wheth- CT any of the existing trees approach the age of 2,000 years

A strange 5lopement case is reported from Newburg, a. suburb of Cleveland, o.

PLACER MINE IN WALL STREET.
Deposit of Gold Has Been Worked
 Profitably for Years.

There is placer gold mine in the heart of Wall street that has been worked with great profit for years and will be worked with great profit for years to come. The yield of precious metal runs about the same from year to year. The mine is on the roof of the government assay office Gold is such volatile element that in the process of refining much passes out of the chimneys with the smoke But the moment it comes in contact with the cold air it resumes it's metal shape and falls to the roof in yellow powder. It is so hc " that the rains cannot wash it entirely from the roof, says the New York Mail and Express. After heavy rains it is found lodged in the gutters and men with brooms sweep 1t up carefully and return it to the as- say office. This gold is net profit to the government, as it really belongs to nobody, but as it falls on the roof of the government building Uncle Sam clearly has the first claim. The mine is guarded jealously by the federal Watchmen and no stranger ever steps on that precious roof. Bad boys in the bankers offices, knowing of the D aai- ous deposit, have racked their bra ms Tor generations to devise a way of r. id Ing Uncle Sans mine. If any windows overlooked the roof, balls of soft putty tied to threads might lift the precious dust, but no such opportunity is af- forded.

What Surprised the Chinaman.

What strikes a Chinaman is not always what strikes a European. A shrewd and well-to-do merchant at Annoy was told that a Maxim gun was able to send out 600 shots a minute; he nodded his head politely and kept flaming himself. That was evidently tall story. A moment later the fan collapsed; he saw the men off duty sitting about looking at newspapers and exclaimed: Gan all your soldiers read ?' A matter, from his point of view, truly for astonishment.

Navy for Greater Germany.

Fifteen men-of-war for the imperial German navy, including eight battle ships and two first class cruisers, are at present in course of construction in the private and government yards of Kiel Dantzig and Wilhelmshayen. This number does not include numer- ous torpedo boats and destroyers build- ing at Kiel and EIbing, nor the important reconstruction (chiefy in the matter of lengthening) which the eight vessels of the Siegfried class are about to undergo at cost of over $5.000,000. It should be noted in this connection that the German govern 1nent is confident of again coercing parliament into granting further large credits much beyond those already provided for in last years estimates.

Large Butter Producer.

"The saying when the cows come home means something to an Illinois man I know" said a citizen of that state to the writer, the other day. "It requires the coming home of 120,000 COWS to supply the milk with which he makes his annual output of butter. He made and sold 14,000,000 pounds of that produce last year and received S2,500,000 for it. Of course, he didn t stand and agitate the churn dasher that thrashed all that butter out; but the employees of the 160 creameries that he owns and controls managed to churn it. He is the largest butter pro- dueer in the world. and thirteen years ago he started business with only one small creamery. At the present time it requires twenty carloads, or more than 600 tons, of salt to salt the but ter that he turns out every year, and 5000 farms to support or feed the COWS that furnish the milk. He is only a hayseed citizen, but he is doing quite well. .'-Nashington Star.
 ulsn water In calcutta.
 After not raining for long time it rained very hard in India and the re- cent letters and newspapers from Cal cutta describe the flooding of that city, where the water stood twenty inches deep in the streets. People went about in boats and wagons and, as the rules of the road were suspended for the time there was a great mix-up in the more crowded thoroughfares. In some places pedestrians waded up to their necks and in others up to their knees Scores of natives went about the streets spearing fish The fish tanks had been overhoWed and it was good fishing in all the principal streets, es- pecially in the celebrated Maidan. A native clerk who was late in arriving at his office excused himself by saying that in Wading to his place of busi- ness he was much annoyed by the fish, one of which jumped out of the water and hit him in the eye-New York Press.

that he stands very close to the
Governor, and his utterances are
credited more or less as authoritative.
If party differences could be patched
up, northern Wisconsin would I'M
doubtedly give it's support to
Spooner for senator and La Foil
cite for governor, but if the battle
is to be carried on to a finish it can
be put down as almost certain that
Spooner will have to fight mighty
hard for everything he gets from the
ninth and tenth districts, with the
chances just about even for his sue
cess. Most of the counties of the
north hold the cOnvent tons for the
election of delegates to the state
nominating convention, separate
from. those at which Legislative can
didates are chosen, in some cases
combining the latter matter with
the nominating conventions for
county officers. Should this plan be
continued the question of opposition
to Senator Spooner would not enter
SO largely into the make up of
the delegation to the state conven-
ton, but should the committees
combine the two conventions and
thus participate the fight locally in
the counties between the La Toilette
and Spooner interests it can be put
down as almost foregone that La
Toilette will lose in nearly every in
stance The question SINNERS down
to the point where many will sup
port both Spconer and La Toilette if
possible, but if they cannot do this
then Senator Spooner will very east
ly triumph over his political antag-
onist. If the two gian is were array
ed against one another for the same
office, then Spooner would be an
easy winner, but for one to defeat
the other for a position of which he
himself is not an avowed candidate.
is different matter. While La
Toilette is undoubtedly strong, and
has good-sized following, still it is
quite certain that Spooner is more
easily the favorite with all classes.

Gone from father. mother, brother,
