THE BUMP OF LOCALITY.
This Authority Says 1t Does Not seem
to BE strongly Developed
IN Women.

Why is it that woman's bump of To-
cality is so much more feebly devel-
oped than mans? Put man down on a
country road and the probabilities are
that he will find his way wherever he
wishes to go without having to ask at
nearby farmhouses for directions. In
stinct seems to guide him. Put WON
an in the same position and she will
irretrievably lose herself in ten min
utes, and have to be sought for by
resolute men for hours before she is
finally brought back to civilization,
says the Baltimore News.
Perhaps it is that the weaker sex is
unobservant. Even in cities many Of
its members do not notice buildings
closely enough to permit them to find
their way about, and certainly they
would not notice in the country the big
gum tree that they pass here nor the
haw bush that marks the intersection
of two roads there.
With the sun low in the west there
are numbers of women who can't tell
the points of the compass, and if they
could would not know in which direc-
tion their homes lay.
When it comes to noting the details
of costume few feminines fail to OBJ
serve even the tiniest bit of braid or
the smallest bow, but trees and houses
are different and less interesting
things, and so in a strange town OF in
the woods the fair travellers lose them
selves in no time and have to be res
cued and set again upon the path by
some one with better sense of roca-
ton than they can boast.

Porto Rico PubIic SCHOOL,

The first public school at Mayaguez,
Porto Rico, is to be named the McKin.
ley school. Many more Porto Rico chill
dren are now at school than ever be-
fore, and in schoolhouses built and
furnished on the American plan. The
new, bright sehoolrooms and the Amer
loan school furniture rather awe the
imagination of the Porto Rico boys
and girls, and they are persuaded with
difficulty to sit down on the chairs and
make themselves at home at their
desks. They have not been accustomed
to so much grandeur and are rather
afraid of damaging It, Once assured
that if they take good care of the fur.
nituPe they are welcome to use it,
they take kindly to their new sur
roundings.

TROUT KILLED CRAVINGS.
The Fish Commission Failed to Allow
for Poetic License and Lost
Their Fish.

Sportsmen will rejoice to know that
the government fish commission seems
to have solved the problem of propa-
eating grayling. There are very few
grayling streams in the world, and a
few of those Nre in the United States.
Two of the best are in northern
Michigan and the rest in Montana.
The grayling inhabits streams similar
to those in which trout thrive. They
are different from the trout in appear
ance, more delicate but equally gamy,
and take practically the same bait and
the same flies. In the Michigan
streams trout were planted with the
grayling, says the New York Times,
for the fish commission believed that
if Tennysop's brook could hold
Here and there lusty trout, and here and
there a grayling,"
the brooks of Michigan could be made
to do likewise. But they failed to al
low for poetic license, and discovered
when too late that the trout destroyed
their little rivals. An attempt was
made to propagate the disappearing
fish, but the attempt failed. Then
some one noticed that the grayling of
Montana seemed to be of different
variety, and more hardy. The commits
sion tried these and is succeeding ad-
mirably in their propagation.

IS FRIEND OF BIRDS.
Millionaire Colorado Miner Allows
None Killed on His Mining
Property.

Thomas f. Walsh, of Washington,
who is owner of the Camp Bird
mine in Colorado, gives evidence in
the naming of this marvelously rich
piece of gold-producing property of
his Observation-Disclosures so far as birds
and harmless beasts are concerned
Not only has he named his mine after
the pests of his early prospecting
days, but all along the road leading
from the mine to the quartz mill are
posted notices which read:
"Notice-Birds and harmless beasts
must not be killed on this property
1t is cruel, also it is against the law
Any employe of the Camp Bird mine
needlessly killing or cruelty treating
any bird or animal will be dis
charged"
Scamp birds" are Mr.. Walsh's spe-
cial favorites. Long before he owned
the mine which has made him envied
by kings Mr.. Walsh found the soil
tude of the wilderness more endur-
able because of the presence OF these
little camp followers. No prospector
is long in the mountains before being
discovered by these birds and having
a retinue of them in his train. They
follow when he moves his camp, and
sometimes remain a whole season
with one miner. They live on the
refuse of the camp and soon become
so tame that they may be fed from
the hand. They are of most So
ciable nature and seem to appreciate
human companionship. Their chat
ter, says the Washington Star, which
closely resembles that of a magpier
does much to relieve the oppressive
solitude of the mountains.

to overcome the difficulties in the
way of it's capture his men hired
seven troops of Kirghiz horsemen,
numbering about 1000 in all, and
mounted on animals almost as swift
as the wild horses.
The latest reports received here
are that the agents have secured 46
colts, nearly equally divided between
males and females. Brood mares had
to be taken along, one for each colt,
to serve as adopted mothers for the
young captives.
When the expedition gets out of
Mongolia it will have to travel more
than two months through a rough
country before it reaches the nearest
station on the Central Siberian rail-
way. After that the captive horses
will have to travel by rail nearly $500
miles to reach Hamburg.
Several of the captives have been
sold already, it is said, at about 1880
pair, price that will buy a pretty
good blooded horse of almost the
best domestic stock.

A PAIR OF Welded LOVERS.
Gar and Czarina Are Said to Be-
without Eyes But for Each
other.

It is amusing to hear the remarks of
those who saw the car and czarina al
the camp lunches they attended while
in France. They behaved like newly.
married couple at table d'hote, with
neither eyes nor ears except for one
another, says London Truth. She
spoke so much to the car at the
Betheny lunch that NJ. Loubet, who
was at her left hand, imagined an old
eraybeard like himself was de trop,
and chatted continuously with his
other next nelghbor, Nine. Casimir-
Perier.
Nicholas was full of anxiety. He
filed himself the empress glasses
when champagne or other wines were
handed round Nine. Loubet sat next
to him, but she showed, by conversing
with her other neighbor, that she did
not wish to bore him. When he and
the empress chatted, the latter looked
animated and as II she enjoyed herself
AS soon as he spoke to Nine. Loubei
the EXPIRE ssion of the imperial lacy
changed, and she gazed without the
Slightest animation, as II absent
minded. .

HOW ConI Resemb1es Ice.

The Electrical Review calls atten-
ton to an interesting explanation Of
the burning of coal. Coal, petroleum
and illuminating gas are related to
one another much as are ice, water
and steam. For this reason, perfect
combustion of liquid fuel is already
advanced long step toward yaporiza-
ton, just as ice is advanced toward
steam when turned into water. The
volatile elements of coal are locked
I'D in the solid form, or virtually
frozen solid. Prof. Dewar has demon
strated how great an amount of heat
must be taken from the so-called per-
manent gases to make them liquid,
and how much more to make them
solid. Yet nature has solicited gas
into the form of coal, and solid coal,
like solid ice, will only dissolve into
vapor through the expenditure Of
heat.

TRIBE TRAVELS ON PASS.
Pinte Indians of Nevada still Ride
Free on the Central Pa
cific Road.

The biggest free pass ever issued
was the one which the builders of the
Central Pacific gave to Johnson Sides,
chief of the Piute Indians of Nevada,
for himself and people for life, to ride
back and forth on all except passen-
ger cars as much as they pleased. 1t
has been source of delight to the
Indians to think that in one case, at
least, their paleface friends showed
the gratitude which is so seldom ex-
pressed, says the San Francisco Call.
Those were polite as well as wise
men who daringly started that early
road, even before New York and Chi
cago were connected by rail. They
knew that without the friendship Of
the Indians the task would be almost
impossible, and they began by treat
ing the Indians well and keeping their
word with them-the only Indian pol
icy" necessary and the only one which
has ever succeeded.
If you have ever happened to ride
through Nevada on the railroad you
must have been impressed by the fact
that the Indians make themselves
very much at home on the trains.
They swarm over the platforms of
blind baggage cars and on top of box
cars and empty fiat cars. Sometimes
freight train pulls into Reno with
more tons of Indians and their bag
gage than it has of freight-and there
is not cent for any of them to pay

them to travel they get aboard and

BEAVER TAIL SOUP.
A Michigan Lumber Camp Delicacy

although l am Marylander, and
an Eastern Shore one at that" said
Chauncey i. Raynor, reports the New
York Sun, "and consequently know

to tell you that I'll have to take off my
hat to the lumber camp cook of the
upper Michigan peninsula as the dis

camp dish is beaver tail soup.

"There were signs of beaver at the
upper end of the lake, and trapper

dam builders.
"When the beaver was brought into
camp the camp cook went nearly wild.
And so did the lumbermen when they
heard the news. All because they had
been trying to trap beaver for weeks;
not for its fur, but for its tail, as they
were pining, they said, for beaver tail
soup.
"The cook took that broad append
age Of the beaver, mailed like an arma-
dillo, took from it the underlying bone
and meat, and from it made such a
soup as never came from any other
stock, at the beck of the most expert

eve could do the same thing, and
perhaps better, on the Eastern Shore,
but we lack one thing. We haven't
got the beavers to yield us their tails"

Tbe color Of the Danube.

"The beautiful blue Danube" is a
myth. Herr Johann Strauss to the
ccn;r5Fy notwithstanding. This fact
has been established beyond doubt
by the municipal authorities of Mau=
tern, who, for the space of one year,
have been conducting experiments
with the river water. AS result of
their Investigations they report that
the color of the Danube water was
brown on II days, light green on 45,
yellow on 40, emerald green on LAG, dull
green on 50, and dark green on So. Not
once was the water blue.

For Cnnacience, Sale

Conscience money in Great Brit
ain now amounts to thousands of
pounds annually. The first sum no.
ticed was on March 30, 1889, when
$500 was carried to the public account
in consequence of note received by
the chancellor. The writer, with trou-
bled soul, implored him, "as an hon
est man, to consider the money the
property of the nation, and to be so
just as to apply it to the use of the
state in such manner that the nation
may not suffer by its having been de-
tanned, and thus to ease the conscience
of an honest man."

killing pisenne Germs by Heat.


Erroneous ideas are often enter
tanned concerning the efficiency Of
heat in destroying bacteria, the i'm
portance of time in the operation be-
ing overlooked. Recent experiments
reported at the Aberdeen congress on
public health showed that tempera-
ture of 40 degrees Fahrenheit applied
to nonvirulent tubercle bacilli, pro-
duced by laboratory culture, killed
the germs if continued for ten min
utes. A temperature of 149 degrees
applied for a quarter of an hour killed
the bacteria in tubercular sputum in
five cases out of six. Tuberculous milk
heated to the same temperature for
20 minutes lost its power of infection.

Just Stepped Off.

Sunday when the excursion train
from Paris, filed with negroes bound
for the campmeeting, reached this
city, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, it passed the station and
went through Cynthiana, at the rate
of about twenty-five miles an hour, the
idea being to keep the crowd on board
until the arrival at the grounds at the
Falm outh Pike crossing. Just be-
fore reaching Pike street negro man
jumped from the train. Of course,
the momentum of the cars carried him
along at terrific pace. His body was
going SO fast that his legs could not
possibly keep up, but they made a
valisn. effort to do, and such lickety-
split negro never cut before. He
galloped across the gutter at Pike
street at tremendous speed, barely
missed a telephone pole, few up into
the air, turning couple Of somer-
saults and landed all in heap in the
middle OF the street. His eyes were
as big as saucers aud seemed to pop
out. AS he slowly gathered himself
together his trousers were split, the
knees were bruised and bleeding, his
arms were wrenohed, his coat-tails
were in tatters, and his battered stiff
bat was mashed down over his ears.
At that moment negro girl who
knew him came along.
"Why, how do you do, Mr.. Hop
kins, she exclaimed.
why, how do you do?" he answer
ed, in deep, calm tones, with carefully
measured accent. "How do you do?
You are looking quite we-we-well. I
