Escapes from Death.

Fantastic escapes from death were
by no means uncommon features of the
Boer war. There was exhibited some
time ago in the museum of the Royal
United Service Institution one of
Queen Victoria's chocolate boxes, in
the lid of which is still deeply imbed-
ded a Mauser bullet. To that same
collection there has just been added
an even more remarkable relic. This
is a silver cigarette-holder case, which
was struck by a bullet at distance of
1900 yards while it was In the pocket
of Captain of the Imperial Yeomanry.
The curious part about 1t Is that the
officer was not aware until afterward
that he had been struck, although
the bullet also pierced the sovereign
purse and cigarette case which he was
carrying in the same pocket

A Valuable Discovery.

An optical screen used in TyndalPs
experiments was transparent only
the heat rays of the spectrum cutting
out ltra-violet as well as all visible
rays. For a third of a century phys
icists have been seeking a similar
screen that would pass only ultra-vio-
let rays. cutting off all others. This
discovery-stated to be of great scien-
tific value-has been made at last by
Prof. r. w. Wood. who has been aware
for some time that nitroso-dimethyl-
aniline would exclude all rays except
the ultraviolet and some red and vio-
let. but has only succeeded in obtain
ing the desired effect by combining
this substance with cobalt glass. A
remarkable peculiarity Of the chemi-
cal named is that 1t gives spectrum
30 times as broad as that yielded by
ordinary quartz.

The Penny Sit Up,

We are ahead Of London in some
things, far behind in others. A young
artist, who styles himself mature
student" made a study Of the slums of
London while abroad recently and
spent a night in what is known as the
penny Sit-Up." His description is
vividly pathetic. This institution Is for
men only. 1t consists mainly Of large
shed, with row after row Of benches
having high backs. The inmates pay a
penny each, for which. sum they have
the privilege Of sitting up all night and
sleeping with their heads resting on
their folded arms, which are supported
In turn by the backs of the benches In
front Of them. At midnight the place
Is crowded almost to suffocation. Each
sitter is allowed sixteen inches Of
bench. 1t must indeed be horrible TO
sleep in that posture night after night.
I do not see how one could obtain any
actual rest or relaxation. AS matter
Of fact, there can be no rest without
relaxation. Many persons have heart
affection that would surely kill them
IL they slept in an upright position.
while others suffer from shortness of
breath whenever they lie down. 1t is n
queer old humanity.-New York Press.

A New FL Dorado.

If experience shall confirm the re-
PORTS made by experts of International
reputation concerning the richness of
a new gold-bearing district in Alaska,
we are more likely to- experience glut
than a scarcity of the yellow metal
for sometime to come. The more con-
fidence Is attached to the reports be-
cause the public has not been invited
to take rart in the exploitation of the
placer-mines to which we refer, as 1t
is said that they have been purchased
by an Anglo-Amerioa syndicate. in
which the Rethschilds are represented.
II 1t be true that over a very extensive
area the gravel yields on an average
two dollars in gold to the cubic yard,
there Is nothing extravaSant In the es-
innate that something like an annual
output OF $50,000,000 may be expected
for 10 years to come. AS the cost of
extracting the golI from the gravel is
computed at only GO cents per cubic
yard the proportion of profit should be
large. Nor Is this the only quarter
from which large additions to the an
nual flow of gold from the Klondike
and tho South African Rand may be
looked for. Extensive deposits of gold
are known to exist In Mexico, and 1t is
only question of time when the min
ing energies of that country. hitherto
concentrated upon silver, will be devot
ed to an exhaustive research for the
yellow metal. The more the world
stock of gold is increased the more
desperate, of course, appear the pros
poets of bimetalism.

The Air-and-Draft Cure.

An American-English duchess re-
Gently boasted to me of the good which
had been done to her by q course
which was not only new to me, but was
so strange as to be almost comical
The "air-and-draft cure" is what she
praised, and 1t was a remedy for cold
hands and feet. This cure is taken at
a tiny place in the Ardennes mountains
i'm a single building there, sanitar-
ium. AS | understood it, this building
is bereft of bed room windows, and
has great apertures in the walls in
stead. The patient retires to we'll
bestowed bed. but leaves uncovered
and exposed her feet and hands.
Strong winds make the Ardennes their
playground, and these blow through
the bedrooms AMI over the extremities
of the patients, and, in some mysteri-
Gus way, their members develop a
strong circulation and are presently
able to resist cold, and to guarantee
to themselves uninterrupted warmth
for all time to come.-Cosmopolita

Stones are "AIive."

The most curious specimens of vege.
table or plant life in existence are the
so-called living stones" of the Falk-
land Islands. Those islands are among
no most cheerless spots in the world,
being constantly subjected to a strong
polar wind. In such climate it is i'm
possible for trees to grow erect, as
hey do in other countries, but nature
has made amends by furnishing a sup
ply of wood in the most curious shape
imaginable. The visitor to the Falk.
lands sees scattered here and there
singular shaped blocks of what appear
to be weather beaten and moss covered
powders, in various sizes. Attempt to
turn one of these powders" over and
you will meet with a surprise, because
the stone is actually anchored by roots
Of great strength; in fact, you will find
that you are fooling with one of the
native trees. No other country in the
world has such a peculiar forest"
growth. and II is said to be next to
impossible to work the odd shaped
blocks into fuel. because the wood is
perfectly devoid of grain" and ap-
pears to be a twisted mass of woody
fibres.

Swedish MARRIAGE Customs.

The Scandinavian bridegroom pre-
sents to his betrothed a prayerbook
and many other gifts. which usually in
clude a goose. She, in turn. gives him,
especially in Sweden, shirt, and this
he invariably wears on his wedding
day. Afterward he puts 1t away, and
in no circumstances will he wear 1t
again while alive. But he wears it in
his grave, and there are Swedes who
earnestly believe not only in the res
direction of the body, but in the YER
table resurrection of the betrothal
shirts of such husbands as have never
broken any of their marriage vows.
The Swedish widower must destroy on
the eve of his second marriage the
bridal shirt his first wife gave him.

Mosouito war In washinoton.

The Marine Hospital service through
General Wyman has issued circulars
to all assistant surgeons on duty at
ports at which fruit is received from
South America and West Indian ports
to guard against yellow fever being
spread by mosquitoes coming in the car

tiles of Washington have made efforts
to drain all stagnant pools Of water in
or near the city or so cover them with
oil that the mosquito will not be able
to get in or out of them. All property
owners and occupants of houses will
be obliged to cover or drain off all
water on their premises and observe all
other precautions to prevent the breed
ing of the pests. All physicians will
be obliged to report all cases of ma
laria to the Health Bureau. and by this
means the authorities hope to locate at
once all colonies of malaria-carr mos

Agriculture in Northwest Canada.

The Canadian government has issued
a census bulletin, which gives statis-
tics as to agriculture in Alberta, ASSN
iboia and Saskatchewan, which united
compose the Northwest territories. The
total area of these territories is 190,-
96S.117 acres, and only 6,569,064 acres
are occupied as farms. OF this area
1893 percent is unimproved. Field
crops, exclusive Of hay, occupy SO per
cent. OF the improved land. but only a
fair beginning has been made with
fruit trees and vegetables. The area
of land In wheat, cats, barley. rye. corn,
peas, potatoes and ether field roots in
1891 was 194,773 acres. The increase
at the end Of the last decade was 694,-
073 acres, or 333 per cent. The pro-
duction OF homemade butter is nearly
twice as much as ten years ago, and
in the interval 10 factories have been
put In operation.

Fra nee and the Peanut.

Can It be that the hot roasted pea
nut is destined to be to France what
the baked bean is to Boston? Strange
things have been unearthed by the
State Department, but none stranger
than that the Yankees pet fruit Is
rapidly becoming the Frenchman's per-
petual delight.
The American "goober" has already
stormed the French vaudeville theatres
and opera houses. and the latest ad-
vices declare that It is successfully
holding the fort against all comers.
The floors of popular restaurants are
carpeted with the shells, and the walks
In the public grounds are speckled with
the shucks.
Marseilles alone consumed 10000
bags of the American dainty and loud
ly called for more. The merry note Of
the roaster's whistle is heard on the
street corner. and every day is circus
day over there.
II seems, however, that plebeian
product from Africa is having the
audacity to question Americas su-
premacy as the peanut country Of the
world. 1t ia cheap, this African pea
nut, and on that score 1t appeals to q
frugal and discriminating public.
But cultivated taste declares unre-
servedly FOR the American nut. re.

to-cuts 1t into halves, quarters or any
desired number of parts. separates the
eyes and removes the seed ends. II

Slippers Made Of PAPER.

Some Of the European hotels are in.
Producing novelty by furnishing each
guest on his arrival with pair of pa
per slippers. and the plan Is expected
to contribute largely toward the clean
liness of the hostelries. The slippers
are cheap. They are made wholly Of
paper. according to the Detroit Free
Press. The soles are of pasteboard
and the rest is made of white or brown
paper. stitched with heavy cotton to
prevent tearing. There are various
qualities. The most expensive is made
of an extra good quality of white paper.
The cheapest is made of common
brown straw paper. These paper slip
pers are so cheap that new ones can
be furnished to each guest. An at
tempt is being made also to introduce
them in hospitals and public institu-
tions, as they would add much to clean
Illness and form another preventive of
contagion, since each pair could be
thrown away or destroyed as soon as
the wearer has done with them.

The EMPEROR OF ETHIOPIA.

And who is the Emperor OF Ethiopiaf
Those who happen to know may con-
slider It an absurdly easy question to
answer. But such is the ignorance OF
things most necessary to know In

few are aware that Menelik ii. Of
Abyssinia has borne that title since

provinces. Consequently he is an en-
peror.
Ancient blood Is expected In an en-
peror, and 1t is remarkable that he OF
Abyssinia, the most obscure Of the Inn
perial band. is of the oldest stock OF all.
At least, that is his claim. Ailu, his
father. came of the old royal family OF
Ethiopia that traced Its descent to
Menelik l.. son of Solomon by the
Queen of Sheba. Ailu was eldest son
Of a great chief named Selassie.

monk. call the son Of his first born by
the name of Menelik, and the child SO
christened would one day be the con-
queror of all Ethiopia and the greatest
Of her rulers since the days Of Menelilk
l., son OF Solomon. AS soon, therefore,
as the grandson was born he was
named Mouelik. The really curious
thing about this story is that II was
certainly told and retailed by an italian
traveller some years before Menelik
conquered Ethiopia" and consolidated
his realm.-London News.

How the Indians Secure venlson for
Their Larder.


A New Yorker who lives small
fraction Of the time In the city, being
usually long distances away In pursuit
OF game, tells the methods pursued by
the Indians of British Columbia in TAX
ing deer. They have evolved a sys-
TEN. the huntsmnn says, that shows
practical skill and sympathy and know
ledge of natural conditions. He says:
The Indians, to begin with, do not
hunt deer for the pleasure of hunting.
They go for deer as a housekeeper
gees to market for beef. And. what's
more. in British Columbia, at any rate,
they don't go often. Salmon are plen.
tiful In the rivers and easily caught.
So, why chase animals when they can
secure fish? II is something. as It is
in New Foundland, where went a
couple of seasons ago. There the pre-
vailing fish, as yon might say, is cod
And, though there is no end to the
variety of edible fish that can be taken
tho natives never think of eating any
thing else. Cod is plentiful, and they
form the habit | suppose. This Is so
ingrained that they call Goldfish fish"
simply. The genus is divided into cod
and the rest Of fish. Well, when the
British Columbia Indian makes UP his
mind for vcnison he goes at II sys-
tematically and without sentiment. A
group of half dozen or IL men split
and take either end of a valley. Then
they proceed along the mountain slope
from the two ends to the center. They
choose the sheltered side Of the valley,
which the deer seek to escape the
wind. Each party covers the noun
tainside, some near the foot, and some
at the top, and others between the line.
keeping abreast by an initiated owl
hoct. The deer on winding pursuit
have trick of leaping away down the
slope, unlike goats. which go up, and
thus between the two approaching par
ties they are swept together at the
middle of the valley. A good-sized
herd will thus be killed off, and the
Indians are supplied for many weeks
by two or three days exertion."
