How Muskrats Are Trapped.

Trapping is one of the modes by
which muskrats are secured. The traps
are made of boards about six inches
wide and three feet long. These are
nailed together like an ordinary box
trap. the open ends being secured by
swinging doors of wire network, fasten-
ed to the upper part of both entrances.
These doors allow easy ingress to the
trap, but once in the rat cannot get out
without opening the door by pulling 1t
to him. which secret they seem very
slow to discover. These traps are put
in the leads running from the houses to
the water when the tide is at low ebb
and the rats are out feeding. On the
return they crawl up the leads, push
against one Of the wire doors of the
trap. which Immediately opens into the
trap, but they cannot go farther. as the
next door opens toward them. Before
they can gnaw out the tide makes up,
and they are drowned in the trap.

tates Finger Joint.
chronological experts agree that with
most Australian tribes every woman Is
betrothed in infancy or even in anticl-
patton of her birth. According to some
mysterious law Of their own, this Is
arranged by the old men of the family,
the women having no voice in the mat
ter. The age Of the proposed husband
is not taken into consideration, so that
it frequently happens that by the time
the girl is of a manageable age her
intended is an old man. If in the
meantime some younger man has set
his heart upon her, this means fight.
in which the unfortunate bride to be,
as she is dragged away, is certain to
come in for share of the blows which
the rival suitors deal out to each other.
In some of the coast districts, where
not all the girls are promised in infan-
cy, the betrothal Of young woman to
a man who follows the occupation OF
a fisherman compels her to lose the
first Joint of the little finger of her left
hand. This slow and painful opera
ton is perfor med by stout string
bound tightly about the ioint-an en-
gagement ring with which one would
willingly dispense! A marriage Ii
cense, equally unique, is common in
some sections. where the chief gives
to the prospective groom peculiarly
knotted string, possessing which he is
free to seek the wife of his CHOICE

New Orleans, Sept. 1O.-A woman's
conscience has compelled her to re-
veal the mystery in the death of Earl
G. Lukens, manager of the New Or
leans branch of correspondence
school. Lukens was believed to have
been accidentally drowned on the even
T. Of Aug. 81.
On that evening a party boarded the
yacht Indian for sail down the river.
On the yachts return it was announced
that Lukens had accidentally fallen
overheard and drowned. His body was
recovered two days later.
Mrs. Kate Jarreau, the young wife
of travelling man, has confessed to
Coroner Richards that she pushed Lu.
kens overheard
Mrs. Jarreau said that she had been
bantered by Lukens and had warned
him that if he kept on she would throw
him overheard. He had continued and
she made good her threat. Mrs. Jar
reau went on to say that she wished to
tell the truth of the affair on the night
of the drowning, but had been prevent
ed by Hans Reig, member of the
party, who had warned everybody that
in justice to her good name they
should all stick to the accident theory.

Johnson is not now candidate for

of this occasion.
His friends insist that if he should
indirectly succeed in Ohio this year
and directly next year, that he would
then be the logical candidate for the
national nomination in 1904. The del
egates eoncede that Mayor Johnson
should now name the state ticket and
dictate the platform and they also say
If Johnson can win in year of such
minor importance in state affairs as
this that they will be more interested
In him than in any one else. The
friends of other leaders, notably those
of John r. Mclean, claim that Mayor
Johnson will be held responsible this
year for defeat. If the party fails, as

man, whose family are included in

judgment on this point, though APP
parently, It is stated, there has been
some want of fairness in the prosecu-

received a Judgment against scott for
$40 900, Mexican. which led the doctor
to protest that he had been unfairly
treated, He engaged counsel to lay
the matter before the state depart

berg is only vice-consul he was per-
mitted by the regulations to engage
