There is a prevalent idea that the
reptile prefers a colored child to
white one, and this is doubtless true.
1t isn't because the flesh of one is
sweeter than the other, however. but
because the safety pins in the clothing
of the white child are pretty sure to
stick into the monsters gums and
cause him trouble.
The hornet was created for special
purpose, and4 he fills the bill to a T.
If it vE=sn't fossils presence here and
there in a country Village there would
be nothing doing the year round, and
the price of real estate would be no
where.
It is believed that Nature created
the first batch of hornets as big as
ganders, with stings on them six feet
long, but seeing that half a dozen of
them would soon rule the world, she
had to reduce their bulk to the present
size. The humble bee is all right for
n slow old poke, and the honey bee
and the wasp manage to do a heap of
business on the cash-down system, but
when you want a real live circus in
town you want to poke a few hornets
out of their nest. They won't need
much poling, and no coaxing at all.
The hornet puts in about fifteen
minutes of the day gathering his food,
but all the rest of the time he is ach-
ing for some one to come along AMI
tread on his coat-tails. 1t doesn't
make any difference to him whether he
is routed out by the big man of the
village, a stray COW or an orphan boy
with seven patches on his trousers and
a Tapping hickory shirt to his back.
He accepts the def without waiting to
sign articles or estimate the gate re-
ceipts, and he has never been known
to get the worst of it.
Hundreds of instances could be cited
where a man weighing 200 pounds has
been lifted over a picket fence six
feet high, and where a tOw-headed boy
has felt sClmething at work and has
Nr-3e in ole init ra1
States, but space forbids. People of
undoubted veracity VINO have felt the
sting of a Eornet declare that the feel
ing was that of a red-hot buzz-saw
cutting them off into stove lengths,
and that they were not responsible for
any language used during the next two
weeks.
There has always been a feeling in
this country that if George Washing
ton had met a hornet instead of the
cherry tree he'd have told a lie right
off the reel-perhaps three or four of
them.

MUST BE RELEASED.
Government Takes Action to
Relieve Americans.

Washington, April 4.-secretary HAY
has instructed by Cable Ambassador
Mccormick at st. Petersburg and Min
lister Conger at Pekin to take immediate
steps to secure the release of the two
American newspaper correspondents
held by the Russians at New Chwang
The news that the dispatch boat has
been released, as calbled to the Assoc
ciated Press last night, has not been Of
ficially brought to the attention of the
state department
Secretary Hay acted upon advices
from two cources. Consul General Fow-
Ter at ChefoO and the proprietors of the
Chicago Daily News. The latter re-
ported that their correspondents. WASH
burn and Lyttle, were arrested at the
entrance of New Chwang harbor on
British craft: that their two Japanese
servants were thrown into jail and that
the correspondents were only saved
from the same fate by the energetic ac-
ton of Mr.. Miller, the United States
consul there.

LEANING TO TALK.
Man Thirty Years Old Begins All
Over

New York. April 4.-Efforts are being
made in a Newark, N. j., hospital to
teach a man of 80 years to talk. The
subject lost his faculty of speech
through a blow on the head delivered
by thugs. Words of one syllable are
spoken to him, and he is made to re-
peat them until they come tripping off
his tongue. He is being carefully led
from speaking single words to putting
the words together into sentences, and
it is expected that in a few months he
will be able to talk as well as would
be expected of a normal child three or
four years old. The man was assault
ed two months ago.
At the hospital a fracture of the
skull made necessary the removal of
two square inches of bone which press
ed on the brain. The operation was
entirely successful but although the
man evidently could think as former
". he could not frame vocal eypres-
sions or write. After all efforts of the
doctors had proved fruitless the nurses
took up the method described and re-
port rapid progress.

NATURAL HISTORY.
A Few Things the Books Do MT Tel

Evidences have been found along the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers that at one
time in the history of this country the
hippopotamuS made this his sporting
ground, and that he thought he had a
good thing of it.
That was hundreds of years before
Columbus discovered America, and
hundreds Of years previous to the bat
tie of Bunker Hill, and all the hippo
had to do was to wander around on
the beds of the great rivers and Gil
up on the choicest of foods. If he
came out to take a sun-bath there was
no one to throw stones and make him
afraid, and if he took a little walk
over the marshes to stretch his legs
there were no yellow journals to poke
fun at the size of his mouth or the
girth of his body. Life was one long.

square meals every day and a picnic
on Sundays, and just what happened
to interrupt the proceedings no one
