DIED IN BEAUTY QUEST.

In certain portions Of tho colliery

have been eating starch IN various Of
its uncooked forms. principally as oat-
meal, rice and laundry starch. Rice
has been more palatable. and at tho
same time has proved itself especially
deadly, as In the case OF the dead

Taken for a Waiter.

The inconvenience of the similarity
between gentleman's evening dress
and the attire of waiter has re-
ceived yet another instance. Mr..
Choate, the American ambassador,
was the victim on this occasion. AT
the state banquet to the king at the
Guild hall, the American ambassador
was one of the few men in evening
dress, nearly everyone being in court
or municipal uniform. He was inter
ested In the pulpit arrangements in
which the carving was done, and ven
tured to ask one OF the function
aries a question concerning them.
"Never mind about old customs" was
the reply; "look lively and clear
away the soup plates!"

MORE THAN FIVE SENSES.
The Number Possessed by Man Ex-
ceeded by Those Of the Lower
Animals.

Many Of our scientists, until quite
recently have been reluctant to admit
that a number Of the lower animals
possibly possess other senses than
ours. So much new and undeniably
affirmatory evidence is, however, now
being offered on this point, that
there can be no longer any substan-
tial reason for doubling that the Ave
senses man imperfectly exercises are
by no means oil that are possible to
sentient creatures, says the Scientific
American.
One such sense not possessed by
human beings, but to greater or
less degree almost universally pres
ent in mammals, birds, reptiles, fish
and insects, is what perhaps may be
called the sense Of localization. It
enables It's possessor, apparently by
its sole use, to find desired spot. 1t
is evidently closely connected with an
instructive and perfect memory Of
distance and direction. That the
homing pigeon exercises 1t to some
extent, though undoubtedly aided by
the landmarks IT recognizes, IS in
disputable; that the honey beo has
it in its fullness and perfection cam
not, after the careful experiments Of
Albrecht Bethe In Germany, be
doubted.
Examples OF insects that possess
an X-ray sense, not only among Eu-
ropean but our own hymenoptera,
can be multiplied indefinitely. Only
one or two of the senses peculiar to
the lower animals are here noticed.
Lubbock suggests that "there may be
SO Of them"

A NATION OF SMOKERS.
The People of Spain Pun Tobacco In =
cessnntIy and In All Sorts
of Places.

Although one often hears that the
tobacco habit prevails universally in
Spain 1t is impossible to know how
general that habit Is until one visits
there, says n London paper. People
smoke necessarily, under all condi-
tions, at all hours and in all places
excepting the church. Men smoke in
the railway carriages; they smoke in
all the tram cars; they smoke in all
the minor theaters; they smoke In all
the restaurants, In the hotel dining
rooms, and, OF course, in the cafes
In the business Office the merchant
and his clerks smoke. In shops the
shopman, while trying to sell goods
to lady, will stop to roll n cigar
cite, which, when lighted, he will
puff in her face. You see conductors
and drivers Of tram cars smoking
All the hackney cabmen smoke all
the time, while even coachmen and
footmen Of private carriages some
times smoke on the box. Beggars APP
proach you cigarettes in mouth to
whine for aims. II you ask for tick
cts at railway office the clerk lays
down his cigarette as he hands you
the dingy bits Of pasteboard. The
innumerable peddlers all smoke ciga-
rettes all the time. The lower-class
women, including the gypsy women,
smoke freely on the streets.

do so. The Grand Canyon is one of the
Santa Fe's strong cards it being the
only road that traverses the rim for any
great distance. and the officials take
great pride in the fact
1t is stated that several receptions are
to figure in the presidents trip over the
Santa Fe. the principal one of which is
now being arranged by Governor OterO
of New Mexico. The reception will be
held at Santa Fe, n. NJ, and will be
attended by the citizens and territorial
militia. All Of the veterans of the Span

also be invited, especially the Rough
Riders. Excursions will be run into
Santa Fe from all points in New Mexico
One of the things concerning the

the excellence of the equipment OF his

doesn't take aid bonds to get a railroad

issued On the other hand. there is a
law against it. But the railroads are
coming in here just the same. In no
state in the Union is there such a rapid
development of railroads at present as

western roads have their eyes on the
