GEESE AS PROHIBITS.
Remarks Upon the Fowl Hiring Down
ReprOach Upon the HUrveyOr
of Information.

As tall man was standing in Broad
way looking at the weatheryane on the
Herald building and casting searching
chances among the clouds above, a
sharp featured man, with a settled
look of inquiry on his face, cane along,
and joined the other in his skyward
searchings, says the New York Herald.
promise of fine, long, open fall"
said the sharp-featur man.
The other paid no attention to the
remark, but continued his observa-
ton.
'"Not many signs of winter yet" con-
tinued the speaker, land it will be some
time before they put in an appearance.
l have just returned from the woods Of
Canada, and the wild geese up there
prophesy a long and pleasant autumn.
They were still settled in their summer
quarters when l was there, without
giving any signs of preparations for
going south. These geese are usually
right in their forecasts, and make
precious few mistakes. No use of
looking for cold weather until after
they move"
"Their reputation" answered the
tall man, without taking his eye from
the weather vane, appears to have led
all of the geese in the country into
making representations"
AS he concluded he turned and
walked away. The sharp-featured
man stood for some time, as though
not quite understanding the remark.

LoNDoN'S ANCIENT RIGHT.
rhe City VIII Claim It's Privileges
Mt the Coming Coronation of
King EINnrd.

In accordance with the resolution
which was passed at the election of
the lord mayor claims will in due
course be made "for preserving the
ancient rights, privileges and immu-
mites of the city of London" at the
coronation of the king At present,
however, the course Of procedure to be
adopted by the Remembrance in fur
therance of the purpose of the reso-
luton is a matter of doubt and vague
conjecture. Until it has been definite
ly decided whether the old-time forms
and ceremonies are to be revived or
abandonment it will not be possible to
draw up the claims Of the city of Lon
don, says the Express.
According to the authorities the lord
mayors of old enjoyed the right Of
being cupbearers to the king at the
coronation banquets. His lordship Of
ancient date, 1t appears, attended the
ceremony with the aldermen and 70
citizens, and at the banquet which fol-
lowed the coronation the chief magis-
trate OF the city offered the king a
cup Of spiced wine This cup was Of
gold. and with its cover weighed pre-
cisely 30 ounces. The privilege of pay
ing for the cup and, presumably. the
wine. belonged to the king. and il sub
sequently became the property Of the
lord mayor as fee or reward for his
services. 1t is also recorded that a.
the banquet the civic party was seated
"to the left of the cup board" which.
however, is not enlightening to the av-
srage man of the present day. seeing
that all evidence by which the precise
locality might have been fixed has long
since disappeared.

established by the odd fellows order.
there were 81 patients received during
1899, and of these 10 are now dead and
only two have been discharged as fully
recovered. Relapses were usual in
leprosy cases. The death rate has been
fearfully high, which is somewhat off
set by the fact that that was the first
year of the hospitals work, and the
worst Of Iceland's population first
were admitted.
The report says that Dr. Armareuer
Hansen, of Bergen, has found the lep-
rosy bacillus, but its antagonist is not
yet discovered. The Icelanders are de-
claredt to be inconsiderately imprudent,
the sick people using the same beds
and eating and drinking utensils as the
healthy.

man has by long use come to be ac-
cepted by many as sober truth. don't
say for a moment that there are not
many of the cheap grades of cigars
which contain many things besides leaf
tobacco, but nobody would bother
about putting cabbage leaves in cigars,
for the simple reason that these leaves
are so thick-veined and peculiarly
shaped that they would not rol! up
with the tobacco leaf. and if they did
would make Jumps on the cigar like The
humps on a camel.
"a cabbage is a vile smelling thing
when it is dried and burned, and the
smoker of the yilest cigars would turn
from it in scorn. 1t is because Of the
villainous smell of burning cabbage, I
suppose, that people first began as
sociating it with cheap cigars of loud
and strenuous odor. That is about the
only resemblance between the two.
Mullen leaves, which we used to dry
and smoke when we were boys, are
much more suitable for the filing of
poor cigars than cabbage leaves, and
/ have no doubt they are often used"

LEPROSY IN DENMARK.

and CnrcIcssness.

United States Consul Victor Z. Mel
son, at Bergen, Norway, has sent a re-
port to the marine hospital service in
which he says that the prevalence of
leprosy in Denmark must be imputed
TO the uncleanliness and carelessness
of the people, says a Washington re-
port. He says there are six leprosy
patients there, of whom four are in
Copenhagen. In Denmark leprosy
does not belong to those few diseases
which are subjected to public treat
ment. Iceland has its own leprosy law.

AN EYEWITNESS.
How the Blind Man Proved 1t to the
Satisfaction of the
Lawyers.

A young lawyer whose recently ac-
quired single hangs in G street went
down into Virginia within the month
to attend a trial in his native county,
says the Washington Post. It.was es-
sential to prove that bitter enmity
had existed between defendant and
plaintiff plaintiff is the proper
term to apply to the gentleman who
had had a generous handful of bird
shot distributed into his person. A
witness, who was quite blind, testified
in detail as to the quarrel between the
two.
"Then Lew grabbed up chair and
broke it over Jim's head he said.
"How do you know that?" asked
the lawyer who was conducting the
cross-eXamination,
81 was an eyewitness to it," re-
marked the blind man.
"An eye-witness?" repeated the law
yer, doubtingly,
"Yes," said the blind man, 81 was.

HOW A CLAIM PAID.
There Is One Way of Getting Money
without the Labor of Pam
ming 1t Out.

There are more ways of making
money off claim than panning it out,"
said an Alaska miner who had some
luck with his pick and shovel, reports
the Washington Star. "For instance,
knew a man of means in the Daw-
son district who had a claim which had
failed to be as profitable as expected,
and he didn't know just what to do
with it to get his money back until
he had devoted considerable thought
to it. And it was simple enough when
he knew how.
"He quietly went to the gold COM
missioner and announced that he
wished to pay his ten per cent. royalty
on the product of his claim for year,
which was $4,000. The commissioner
accepted the $4,000 royalty and gave
him the usual receipt, stating on its
face what it was for, with the number
of the claim, location, etc.
"Then he waited patiently about
like Mary's little lamb, and one day,
in the course of human events, an Eng
lishman came along looking for good
thing for some people who had money
to spend. He asked Mr. Blank, among
others, what he had to sell, and the
smooth gent told him he didn't know
exactly, but he would show him his
goods. They Looked over several claims
that were practically unworked, and
then IN q IN snail vVav Mr. Rlank showed
the Englishman his receipt for royalty
on claim so and so. And, you know
he said, with a wink, that a man isn't
paying royalty on any more than he
can possibly help
"The Englishman was right on to
that little game. Of course, and he
seized up the $4,000 receipt, looked
over the claim in a general way, and
anded nv b1viu o. II for 81 IN mn !"

The Auto in War.

1t is understood that the military

the work done by the automobiles dur

out result, until we decided to try S. S. S., and by
the time the first bottle was finished the eruption
began to disappear. dozen bottles cured her

There is no doubt that the destruc-
ton of birds in France has produced
disastrous effects upon agriculture,
horticulture and the grape industry.
In the department of Herault alone,
it has been calculated, the destruction
of birds accustomed to feed upon in
sects costs loss of more than 2,OQ0,-
900 gallons of wine every year. Some
birds consume about 600 insects each
daily, and a single inscct-eating spe-

and 1850 grapes per day.
