tag. For washerwomen.

In future Macon (Ga.) washerwomen
will be tagged. In fact, their badges
will resemble those kept on hand for
the city's dogs, but they are n 0 so ex-
pensive. This innovation is the result
of a meeting Of the board of health
held some weeks ago. At that time it
was said many complaints had been
received at police headquarters about
missing washerwomen and missing
clothes, and it was decided to force
negresses engaged in washing to pro-
cure tags SO that the police depart
ment might have a record.

A Match.

Now, listen while the tale I tell
OF that cold winter day.
When all the beasts from far and wide
Took part in grand ARRAY.
The bear had sent a challenge forth
That whate'er might betide
He'dysnowball birds and beasts, yet he
Would keep the winning side.
Then came the walrus and the crane.
The tortoise and the toad;
The monkey, frog and dragon queer
Were seen upon the road.
The bear his ammunition piled,
Snowballs as hard as ice;
His ancient woods the foe he knew
Would enter in a trice,
And SO they did. and then h fight
In earnest was begun:
The birds and beasts against the bear,
They fought till set of sun.
The bear his snowballs well did aim,
The foes were well aimed. toe.
At length one hit him on the nose.
And what was he to do?
Down Numbered he. the frog hurrahed;
The walrus said. We've won't"
The monkey flung a ball up high,
Sorry the fight was done!

Tasmania's contribution alone will ex-
coed 100000 cases. A special shipment

In Switzerland.

In Switzerland.
The Swiss m~ountaineers have a Gus
tom of calling through speaking trum.
pets at dusk each evening, "Praise the
Lord God!!" This call may be started
by one herdsman and is answered by
others from neighboring peaks, the
sound being much prolonged as it re-
verberates from n mountain to an,
other.
After a short interval, supposedly de
voted to prayer, a herdsman calls in
the same manner, Good night!!' this
too, being repeated by his fellows
Then all retire to their huts. The i'm
pressiveness of these calls, echoing and
re-echoing from rock and mountain ia

O THE CHILDREN
Magic with string.

Some remarkable effects are obtain
able from the use Of d piece Of strong
string about two yards long. At one
end of the string make a loop big
enough to go easily W a persons
head and at the other a tiny loop only
big enough to hold an ordinary pencil.
Ask some n to cover his ears with
his fat hands. Now pass the large loop
Of string over his head and draw it
tight across the backs OF his hands.
Keep the string taut and gently turn
the pencil in the small loop round and
round. The person with the loop about
his head will hear a noise like the
firing Of a battery Of guns. Then gen.
tly flick the string with one hand.
when he will hear the boom OF a
heavy gun.
Still holding the pencil In one hand,
fold a piece Of paper over the string
with the other and pass it gently back
ward and forward along the string.
The listener hears a magnificent repre-
sentation Of the washing Of the waves
on the seashore. Now take a spoon or
anything hard and with it scrape the
frightened string s~pasmodically. The
effect produced is that of heavy thun-
der.
The Mule Warned the Miners.
The mine mule knows a thing or two
quite as well as does the army mule.
says Frank Leslie's Weekly.
lii one Of the mines in the Pittsburg
district an ever patient mule proved
himself possessed of IN almost human
sense of coming danger. A chamber
had been closed on account Of gas, and
the men were thinking of what that
might mean when suddenly there came
a clatter of hoofs, and a mule ap-
peared, it's long ears %quivering and it's
intelligent eyes full of terror.
1t gave a shrill bray and then was
gone down the entry, broken traces fly
ing after it. The men, with n i'm
pulse dropping picks, made a headlong
dash for the open air. With scared
faces other miners joined, and while
they We're wondering what it all meant

1t is the wish Of the publishers
of the Pioneer, however, that
every family in the county may
have an opportunity to know
what a live local daily newspaper
is and the following remarka bic
offer is therefore made:

On that day subscriptions to the

months for s1.o0, the regular
price for the six months period
being $3.50.

1T is reported there was a great
slaughter on both sides.
The Dunkards, or German Bap-
fists of the United States, in con-
yention at Carthage, Mo-, voted to
change the name of the organization
to the German Baptists.
Chas. Green, a negro, had a mar
row escape from being lynehed by a
mob in the heart of New York city.
Green attacked two white girls
who were playing in the park, and
whose screams attracted large
crowd. The police had to use their
clubs and threaten the mob with
their revolyers to save the prisoner.
An excursion train on the Mo-
bile and Ohio railroad, returning
from Mobile to Vicksburg. was
fired upon at Yellow Pine, Ala, by
negro, who used double-barreled
shotgun. Conductor Richardson
was killed, a negro excursionist
named Benton and Flagman Askew
were badly injured The assassin
was captured.
By the decisive vote of AL to
1SS, the Methodist general confer
ence in session at Los Angeles de-
cided not to make any change in
the church discipline in the matter
Of prohibited amusements. The
question is one which agitated the
minds Of the delegates to the pres
ent general conference perhaps more
than any other single problem.
The bandits who captured a rich
American named Perdicaris and his
stepson in Morocco, demand a large
money ransom, absolute immunity
from pursuit or punishment for the
kidnapping and other crimes, and a
guarantee from the United States
and Great Britain that these stipu-
lations will be observed. The de-
mands are too preposterous to be
considered.
The schedule filed by Sully & Co.,
in the United States district court
In New York shows the firms as
sets exceed liabilities by nearly a
million dollars. Sully's personal in
debtedness is $344,S39 and assets
scheduled at $2,074,429. From this
it would seem that the great cotton
bull has enough left to keep the
wolf from the door, to say nothing
of the many millions owned by his
wife and son.
Japan paid heavily for her victo-
ries at Kin Chou, Nanshan and Ia
lien Wan, losing 5000 men in kill
ed and wounded in the repeated as
saults against these positions, but
she scored sweeping and valuable
victory over the Russians, capturing
fifty guns, clearing the way to Port
Arthur and infiicting losses on the
Russians which, in the end, are ex-
pected to total 1000 men.
United States Senator Mathew
Stanley Quay died at his home in
Beaver, Pa, May 20, of chronic gas
tritls. Senator Quay's indisposition
began about year ago. 1t was a
recurrence of the trouble that beset
him during the latter part of 1900
and the early days of January, 1901,
when he was undergoing the strain
of campaign for reelection to the
senate. Never strong man physic-
ally, the senator's capacity for work
was marvellous. He realized several
months ago that the end was near,
and awaited the summons with the
stoicism of an Indian He was 20
years old.

says an investigation made by the
authorities into the recent attempts
