CHASES STRAWBERRIES.
Liverpool Millionaire Who Travels
Much In Quest of the Fresh
Fruit,

The queerest fad of a millionaire
globe trotter is that of John X. Hamp-
ton, of Liverpool. He made his mil
lions on the corn exchange and holds
the golden key to the worlds pleas
ures. Yet he spends his life chasing
the strawberry, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
When he was working night and day
amassing gold he found that plate
of really fresh strawberries and
cream was the finest delicatessen he
could have. Fortune smiled on him in
1891, and the following year found him
so wealthy that further work would
have been madness. 1t was early Sep
TENDER and he went at once to Cairo,
where fresh strawberries can be OBJ
tanned during that month. Since that
date he has regularly followed the
late spring, and so the strawberry,
from Cairo to Algiers, from Algiers
up through Spain from south to north,
and likewise through France. Then,
in early May, when the strawberry
season in that country is finishing, he
crosses to the Channel Isles and
chases the smiling fruit across to
Cornwall, generally landing in Eng
land in the middle of June. His trip
finishes in Scotland at the end of An
gust, when he takes a through ticket
back to Cairo, and so commences his
tnup a0ain

shire. In Wiltshire are no fewer than
six of these horses. The most famous
is the one on Bratton Hill, near West
bury. Local tradition has it that Al
fred, after coming to the throne, won
his greatest victory over the Danes,
the battle of Ethandun, and cut out
the figure of white horse on the hill
side to commemorate. The horse
itself is exceedingly quaint in form,
having very short legs and curious
crescent at the end of the tail, an
other mark of some of the horses on
British coins.
Other "turf" monuments of the same
description are the two white crosses
at Bledlow and Whiteleaf, on the
Chiltern Hills, in Buckinghamshire,
and two gigantic human figures, one
on the downs near Calne, and the
other, the "Long Man of Wilmington"
near Eastbourne. In addition to these
there is the famous Red Horse at
rysoe, in Warwickshire; the two mod
srn White Horses in Yorkshire; the
equestrian figure of George III. on
Osmington Down, Dorset, and ON Nor
mond Hill, in Aberdeenshire, where
there Is a White Horse dating from
the last century, and stag cut out in
1870.

STATE TO OWN UTILITIES.
Canadian Government Proposes to
Have Full Control of Telegraph
and Telephone Lines.

According to authoritative an
nouncements, the government of Can
ada has decided to nationalize the tele-
graphs and the telephones of the do
minion, says the ChautauGuan. The
business elements are said to be near
ly unanimous in support of this re-
form. The government counts on an
annual surplus of some 100000 and
it's income is increasing under the
usual prosperity of the country. 1t
has, therefore, become possible to
take the step contemplated for years,
but heretofore precluded by lack of
available funds. The government al
ready operates some small telegraph
lines, and not unsuccessfully. The
telephones, if taken over at the same
time as the telegraph, will be placed
In the hands of the respective munic-
qualities to be managed by them. 1t
is hardly necessary to add that the
employees of the companies are anx-
lous to become the servants of the
state, knowing, as they do, that from
the government they would secure bet
ter terms and greater consideration.
Canada is only following the exam
pie of Great Britain in this respect.
The telegraph was nationalized in
England about 80 years ago, and while
there have been complaints of ineffl-
cheney, red tape and lack of progress
sive spirit on the part of the post office
department, which controls 1t, there is
no agitation in favor Of return to
operation by private companies.

TREE THAT TURNS TO STONE.
Hardens and I'm n Few Years
Petri6es.

Mr.. w. z. Porter has now discovered
tree in Mexico, called by the natives
the "chijol," which is of a most re-
markable nature, reports the New
York Herald.
II all that is alleged of this phenom-
email tree is correct il will some day
revolutionize the stone trade. The
"chijol," or the "stone tree" as Mr..
Porter designatss 1t, is of enormous
proportions, both in circumference
and height. 1t has quite a number Of
branches spreading out widely and
carrying leaves Of a yellowish-green
color, something like the myrtle.
The wod Is extremely fine and in a
green state is easily worked, and is
not given to either warping or split
ting.
The wonderful part about 1t is that
after being cut the wood gets grad
ualIy harder, and in the course of
few years 1t is absolutely petrified,
whether left in the open air or buried
in the ground.
From this wood houses can be built
that would in few years become COM
pletely freproof and would last as
though built of stone. As the wood
does not, even in its completely petri-
fled state, change either its color or its
finely grained surface, it offers indeed
great possibilities for new and artis-
tic embellishments in the style of our
buildings, both interiorly and exter-
lOrly. besides the advantage of its be-
ing Hreproof.

BLOOD POISONING.
1he Symptoms Are of Two Varieties
which Differ More or Less
How to Treat 1t.

In the widest acceptation OF the
term, blood poisoning occurs in all
infected diseases, in Bright's disease,
biliousness, malaria and many other
troubles affecting the general sys-
TEN. But, as usually understood, 1t
means poisoning by pus microbes or
their products, conditions medically
known as pyaemia or septicaemia,
says Youths Companion.
A quarter of a century ago these
diseases were very common, espe-
cially in hospitals, and were often
the cause of frightful mortality
among the wounded in battle; but
now they are becoming more and
more rare, and many physicians of
several years practice have never
seen a well-marked case.
This happy change is the result Of
the general adoption of the princi-
pies of antiseptic surgery, whereby
septic infection of wounds and con-
sequent extensive suppuration are
prevented. But blood-poisoning still
occurs at times after wounds made
with infected objects, or wounds
which have been allowed to foster
without proper treatment.
Physicians occasionally get blood
poisoning in consequence of a slight
cut or scratch received while per-
forming an autopsy after a case or
appendicitis or other suppurative dis
ease. In cases in which death fol-
lows an operation for appendicitis
the cause is frequently septioaemia
or pyaemia, the operation having
been undertaken too late to prevent
the absorption of septic material.
The symptoms of blood-poisoning
are those of profound depression OF
the general system, but the symp-
toms of the two varieties OF blood
poisoning differ more or less.
Septicaemia usually begins abrupt
lv with a chill and high fever. The
pulse is quick and weak, the breath
ing is rapid and sometimes op-
pressed, headache is usually severe,
the appetite is lost, and there Is
nausea with vomiting.
In pyaemia these symptoms are
gradual in their appearance, and are
preceded for day or two by slight
fever, loss of appetite and general
depression. There is a succession OF
chills, high fever and sweating, so
that the case is sometimes mistaken
for malaria. Later all doubt is re-
moved by the formation OF assesses
In various parts of the body.
Both forms of blood-poisoning are
grave, but recovery is more apt to
take place in septicaemia. Treat
ment consists primarily in attention
to the wound through which intec-
ton has occurred, which, if access
lble, should be opened freely and
thoroughly drained. At the same
time the system must be supported
by stimulants, heart tonics and
nourishing and easily digestible
food.

CATS EXTRAORDINARY LEAP.
Jumped from the Top of Washing
toms Monument and Survived
the Feat.

In the latter part of 1880, at time
when the Washington monument had
reached height of 100 feet, an adj
venturous and patriotic cat assembled
the interior of the shaft by means OF
the ropes and tubing. When The work.
men arrived at the upper landing the
next morning and began to prepare
for the days work, pussy took fright
and, springing to the outer edge, took
a header" of 100 feet to the hard earth
below. In the descent, which was
watched closely by two score OF mon,
the cat spread herself out like hy-
ing squirrel and alighted on all tours.
After turning over on the soil rev
times in a dazed manner, she prepared
to leave the grounds, relates the Wash
lngton Star.
She had got almost beyond the shad-
ow of the monument when dog be-
longing to one of the workmeh
bounced upon her and killed her, she
of course not being in her best run
ming trim after performing such an
extraordinary feat. One of the men
procured the body of the dead feline,
smoothed out her silky coat and turned
the remains over to representative
of the Smithsonian institution, who
mounted the skin and placed it under
a glass case. The label on the case
tells this wonderful story in few
words: This cat on September %,
1880, jumped from the top of Wash
ington's monument and lived"

COPPER AND ZINC.
Tho Salts of These Metals Produce
Bright CoIOrs in Food Demand
ed by the Public.

Almost everything we eat contains
some chemical that is either intended
to improve it's appearance or to give
it some desired flavor. Vegetables
are frequently "greened' artifcially
by chemicals. The salts of copper
and zinc, and occasionally aniline
dyes, are used for the purpose. The
public demand a deeper shade OF
color in butter than formerly. A
faint amber tint is the natural shade
of butter. The bright or reddish
yellow color now popular is produced
by aniline dyes.
Spices are probably more often
adulterated than any other form OF
food. 1t is almost impossible to buy
pure spices in the market. They are
usually adulterated with natural
filters. the same substance being
used for all kinds of spices. This
filler is a common article of trade,
and is sold in large quantities. Cot
fee is adulterated in a score of ways,
especially ground coffee. The per-
son who buys even the whole berry is
not sure of getting pure coffee. Beans
nodded from a composition made OF
clay, potato starch and condensed
milk are frequently sold without de-
lection.
Jellies, jams and marmalades are
frequently counterfeited. The body OF
these limitations usually consists OF
apple pomace, the residue of cider
mills, doctored with glucose, gel
atine, aniline dyes and favored with
chemical essences.

FEATS OF DESERTERS.
Some of the Remarkable Devices OF
British Soldiers TO Escape
from the Army.

To desert from either the army or
the navy is not the easiest thing in
the world, and even ~when accom-
plished the culprit lives in daily fear
of being recaptured and sentenced to
heavy term of imprisonment
Therefore, the devices employed by
some deserters are as ingenious as
they are exciting, although they can
not be said to be always crowned
with success. For sheer audacity the
case of an Irish soldier who deserted
in a south coast town some years ago
would be hard to beat, says the Regi-
ment. Just at that time a number
of assertions had occurred in the
neighborhood, and the authorities
were therefore unusually sharp to
prevent further offenses of this ma
ture. But the man in question was
dissatisfied with soldering, and hav-
ing a number of friends in the town
who were disposed to help him, and
being possessed of an unusually large
modicum of pluck, resolved to delay
his return to civil life no longer. One
morning early he slipped out of bar
racks and made his way to friends
house without being seen. Arriving
there he shaved Off his mustache,
and donning a policeman's uniform,
boldly promenaded the main streets
of the town. He was of course missed
in barracks, and knew that the sur
rounding country was being secured
in the hopes of finding him. On one
occasion his sergeant came up to him
and asked him if he had seen or
heard anything of the missing man,
and he of course replied that he had
not, but he would keep his eyes OPEN
For more than a fortnight he pre-
served his disguise without it being
penetrated even by the police them
selves, and he then calmly left the
town when the hue and cry had sub
sided somewhat Nevertheless, his
enterprise came to naught, for he
was arrested in trying to work his
passage back to Ireland.

A soNe-wRITiNG PRINCE.
Dulesp singh, Whose Grandfather
Owned the KOhinoOP Diamond
Musical Enthusiast.

Prince Duleep Singh, by right OF sue
cession entitled to the throne of the
Maharajah Runjeet Singh, is song
composer Of more than ordinary merit.
He inherited the talent from his IA
Their, who left among his papers the
manuscript of an opera which Prince
Duleep Singh has declared his inten-
ton of having scored for orchestra and
presented at Covent garden, London,
says the Philadelphia Saturday Even
ing Post.
The prince, who leads the life OF an
English country gentleman at Hook
void hall, Norfolk, and who Is cap
tain in a volunteer regiment, was edu-
Gated at Elton and Cambridge, and
married, some three yeas ago, the
youngest daughter of the earl of Cow
entry.
His annual pension from the British
government is $4,000, about $250,CO0.
BE belongs to several fashionable
clubs, and for two years was honorary
aid de camp to Lieut.. Gen. Ross, when
that gentleman was In command at
Halifax, n. S.
The famous Kohinoor diamond, now
one Of the English crown jewels, was
the property of his grandfather, Run
jest Singh. This extraordinary per-
sonage, whose sole legacy from his
father was a troop of cavalry, acquired
the vast territory bounded by the In
dus and the Sutlej, and became owner
of Cashmere to the snowy range and
beyond. His treasure in cash, jewels
and horses and elephants was esti-
mated at 100000.
Prince Duleep Singh, frank and dem
ocratic In manner, is musical enthu-
siast, and travels up TO London for
every concert of Importance. During
the past winter he has been engaged
on another volume of songs, now near
ly completed. There is nothing of the
oriental in his music, which savors OF
the French school.
