THE MAYORS COURT.

Today was great day in the
mayors court. The big docket was
caused by the fact that there was no
court yesterday. Several cases were
discharged, but enough were fined to
net neat little sum.
Two dice throwers were asked to
pay $3.50 and costs.
Two women, whose characters are
not above reproach, were fined $3.50
and costs for being on the streets
after dark.
Then came cursor, who DELHI
erately and with malice afore-
thought used profane language IN
the presence of two or more persons.
Two women from Meridian
quarters, had a scrap and 1t cost
them $3.50 and costs.
One party was up for dlscharging
firearms in public place and paid
100 and costs. No doubt there are
others who indulge in this practice
and they would do we'll to call a
halt, or the "goblums will get 'em'.
One jim Dawson coveted pistol
that was at the Watkins Machine
Shops and concluded to appropriate
it to his own use. The pistol was
valued at $3.50 but the man who
walked off with 1T had to pay $25 and
costs. In future, he Will find it
cheaper to buy pistol.

TRAITS OF PRAYING mANrs."


Preach Naturalist Makes Thorough
Study of Peculiar Inssct.
Very strange is the Insect popuNrly
known as the praying mantis." OF
this insect NJ ]. H. Fabre, distin-
guished naturalist, has made a thor
ough study. According to him. Its
long. pale green wings. like ample
wells. Its head appraised to heaven. its
arms folded and crossed on It's breast.
give 1t false resemblance to a nun
in ecstatic devotion"
A feroclous creature 1t Is, ever bent
on carnage. the workshops OF various
burrowing hymenoptera being its IA
vorite haunts, since there It is almost
certain to find prey.
'tPosted on some bush near the bur-
rows" says NJ. Fabre, in his account
of the insect, 1T waits patiently until
1t sees some other insect probably Il
sphex, returning home. BY sudden
rustic of its half-open wings 1t terri
fies the approaching insect, which
hesitates for a moment. and then as
suddenly as spring the toothed fore
arm folds back on an arm also toothed
and the insect is grasped between
the blades of the double saw in the
same manner as the jaws of wolf
trap close on an unfortunate wolf at
the Instant when it is Selling the bait.
Then. without enclosing the deadly
machine, the mentis slowly eats its
victim"
In Provence this cruel insect is
known as "prego Dieou.' which
means pray to God"

The powder was declared to be dan

MANY SPIES EMPLOYED BY SULTAN


Turkey Growing Demnralized Under the
Present Vicious system.
In no country and at no time OF the
worlds history has the spy system
been developed to the point 1t has at
tanned in Turkey to-day, 1t is a most
elaborate organization and costs an
immense amount Of money. There
are spies and couhter-spies, and
Counter-spies to the fourth or fifth
degree, Their number is legion. and
they are to be found in all classes Of
society, from the highest to the low
est. Besides the minister OF police.
almost every high dignitary has his
own service OF spies, says the London
Chronicle.
These are all rival organizations,
and spend most OF their time in spy
ing and denouncing each other. All
prominent persons are closely watch
ed, and followed even while shopping.
and should they meet another person
OF note and exchange few words.
tho fact is carefully noted. Turks no
longer dare assemble in parties OF
five or six for the purpose of spend
ing their evenings together. 1t Is inn
possible for three or four OF them to
sit down at a table in a coffee house
without having a spy at the next. On
such occasions they always speak
very loud. so that everybody may
hear them. Should a European con-
verse with Turk in the street. spy
will follow them and try to- nd out
what they are saying.
The result of all this is that the
Turks avoid one another's company
as much as possible. and wheaever
they do come together the CONVERSE
ton is on the most flsttfe subieets'and
quite childish. The Turkish nation Is
growing more and more demoralized
under the present spy system.%

This is madness!" cried Denzil, and
forthwith, not asking any further
leave, took her up in his arms, and
walked on again, so burdened with
frowning brow and set, unpleased
expression about his lips.
Miss Trevanlon was so taken by

quietly in a broken. wretched sort of
way. Denzil stopped

she had none to make, and so wisely
retaining from speech OF any kind;
whereupon Denzil marched on as be-

her.
He was strong man; but full
grown. healthy young woman was no
light weight-so it was no disgrace to
his manhood to confess that when at
length he had her safely deposited in
the carriage. he was rather glad than
regretful. Taking the reins from the
boy and throwing him some silver, he
drove away without single glance at
his companion. as she lay back ex-
hausted among the cushions he had
carefully, but sulkily arranged for her.
Mildred's foot having been examined

of course, been the first to approach
