The Idea of a Circus man Pulling
Knife on a Negro-Absurd.

The Idea of Circus man Pulling a
Knife on Negro-Absurd.
A story was circulated yesterday
morning that one of the officials in
charge of the circus, which gave a
performance here yesterday had drawn
a butcher knife upon negro at the
grounds on Speedwell avenue. The
story was that the colored man had
demanded Of the management his
salary, a part of which was still due
him, and that when he insisted upon
being paid, the paymaster went to
the kitchen tent and securing large
butcher knife went for the negro,
who threw up his hands and begged
not to be stabbed.
Chief of Police Hollaway was in
formed of the alleged incident and he
sent Roundsman Hendershot and
Sergeant Morrison to investigate.
They reported that they learned of
no knife being drawn but said the
manager told them that one of their
colored men had been intoxicated the
day before and was still under the
influence of liquor yesterday, and had
created such a disturbance that he
was obliged to use forceible means to
quiet him.

large snake summing itself in the road
a few feet in front of them. The rep

horse. The animal, however, was
whipped so that he plunged foi ward,
jumping over his snakeslip. The wagon
wheels passed over the creature, break

had seen a pretty large snake and de-
cided to return and secure it. This
they did, and then brought it to this

was of the variety known as "blackn

He will not drink of water objectiona-
BILE to his questioning sniff or from o
bucket which some Odor makes often
sive, however thirsty. His intelligent
nostril will widen, quiver and query

would make mortal shut his eyes and

is never satisfied by either sight or
whinny that her colt is really her own

will not allow the approach of any
stranger without showing signs of an

distinction is evidently made by his

distance. Blind horses, as a rule, will
gallop wildly about a pasture without
striking the surrounding fer %. The
sense of smell informs them of its prox-
unity. Others will, when loosened from
the stable, go direct to the gate or bars
opened to their accustomed feeding
grounds and when desiring to return,
after hours of careless wandering, will
distinguish one outlet and patiently
await its opening-St. James Gazette.

FATAL WORDS.
The Sltp- That DOOMED Major Andre
and Saved West Point.

The SLIP That Dootned Major Andre
and Saved West Point.
At Tarrytown there is monument
surmounted by bronze figure ever ON
duty that marks the spot where on
Sept. %, 17S0, a man sprang, as it
were, out of the ground, seized the bri-
die of the travellers horse and at the
same instant demanded a halt. Two
other men joined the first, and to these
three the traveller offered the authority
for John Anderson to pass on public
business and signed by the major gen
eral commanding West Point.
For one moment the pass sufficed
Then there was doubt. In that moment
of hesitation the travellers eyes rested
upon coat that one of the men wore
which he had obtained while prisoner
not long before, and, recognizing the
garb of the Hessian soldiers attached
to the British army, the traveller con-
cluded hastily that he had fallen
among friends instead of foes. Il see
you belong to the army down below, as
do,' he remarked, with slight ges-
ture of the head toward the river.
Fatal words! They sealed the doom
of Adjutant Major General John An
Dire of the British army. He was
quickly dismounted and searched with
out result, and still there was delay.
Some latent sense of required vigilance
melted these humble militiamen to re-
newed search of the travellers person.
West Point was saved.

The gigantic tropical firef1ies which
swarm in the forests and canebrakes
of most of the low lying West Indian
Islands once proved the salvation of the
city of Sauto Domingo. A body of buc-
cancers, headed by the notorious Thorn
as Cavendish. had laid all their plans
for u descent upon the place. intending
%. Elsls;s:., .,i..- the inhabitants and carry
away all the treasure they convenient
ly could, and had actually put off their
boats for that purpose.
AS they approached the land, how
ever, rowing with muflied oars, they
were greatly surprised to see an inf
mite number of moving lights in the
woods which fringed the bayou up
which they had to proceed, and, con-
Guiding that the Spaniards knew of
their approach, they put about and re-
gained their ship without attempting
to land.

The immensity of Big Ben and the

How many of those who look up at
the figure of Nelson will believe that
the statue of "our greatest sailor is
three times as tall as a living man?
Nothing in the world is so deceptive as
distance, as run round London with
fuofrule would show. Nobody, so
tar us one knows, has ever yet been
found to believe that Big Ben is over
seven yards across the dial, that the
hands are together twenty-five feet
long. 0at the minute hand jumps
seven inches every time it moves, that
the nve minute spaces measure nearly
two yards and that each of the dials
weighs four tons. You may spend a
day staring hard at st. Paul's before
you viii believe that the ball over the
dome will hold twelve men and that
the cross above it is ten yards high,

CHlNAMAN AT A TELEPHONE
Celestial Gets the Worth of His Mon
ey Every Time.

ey Every Time.
"a Chinaman at the telephone is a
funny thing" remarked a long distance
telephone operator in the Denver News
a few days ago. You see, it is impos-
sible to tell whether one person or half
dozen are talking, and we often be-
come mixed up in listening to them.
When one is speaking, it seems as If
half dozen are talking, and we often
imagine the wires are out of order. To
make matters worse the Chinese de-
light In talking as fast as possible, and
we never know whether the Chinaman
at this end of the wire is talking or if
1t is the one at the other end. After the
conversation is ended the Chink walks
out of the booth with a self satisfied
smile on his face and pays for a three
minutes talk. We have lately discoy-
cred that he invariably says as much
during that time as could have been
said by a white man in fifteen min
utes.''
To be sure, the telephone company is
not really ''out" anything by the trans
action, as it is paid by the minute; but,
nevertheless. in the case of Cinnamon,
the company would be the gamer by
charging for volume instead of time A
Chinaman always begins his talk in
pidgin English. He says: Hello. Is
this Sam Ling. bettee you don't know
vi hi XII vi he yay bo benno me-" and
so on, and it sounds ON the wires as if
several persons were at work.

Mouruers In Rcd.

There can be no doubt that in the
dark and part of the middle ages red,
and not black, was the favorite mourn
ing color throughout Europe Even
down to the end of the fifteenth GEN.
tury the change from blood red to
black was not complete, though black
clOaks were worn over red clothing. In
Abyssinia the mourning color is a red
dish brown. In Turkey it is violet, a
color closely allied to red. 1t is a Curl
GUS fact that among the Maoris of New
Zealand red is the hue of sorrow In
earlier times mourners daubed their
bodies with red juices when they fol-
lowed 4 chief to his grave, and even
the resting places of the bodies were
also colored red.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Early Matched pullets make the best
winter layers.
One of the most beneficial foods for
poultry is linseed meal.
The laying hens like a variety not
only in the soft food, but in the grain.
The guinea fowl is a great forager
and destroys many insects that hens
will not touch.
The hens will lay better and be better
contented if supplied with a box of
fine dry earth for a dust bath.
The Leghorns are popular with those
who do not desire to raise chicks, they
being nonsitters and good layers.
Poultry farming doesn't take great
deal of land, but with good manage
ment the harvest comes every day.
In arranging the perches in the poul-
try house have them far enough away
from the doors and windows to avoid
drafts.
Soaked lime placed in the drinking
water will often cure hens of laying
shell-less eggs unless it is disease of
the egg passage, as is sometimes the
case.
