Killed by It's own Poison.

The strange case Of an animal being
killed by it's own poison was that of q
reptile kept for experimental purposes
by the Boston Society of Natural His
tory. The reptile had been annoyed into
a high state of irritation, and, when en-
deavoring to struggle out OF harms
way, struck by accident one OF its fangs
into its own body. The result was un-
expected, for 1t rolled over and died very
shortly afterward. DR.. Burnett conclud-
ed from this unique occurrence that the
poison Of the rattlesnake is constant and
unfailing In its action, and just as fatal
to the reptile itself q It II to other AMI
mails.

The docks of the lumber companies
along the bay are strung every after
noon with scores Of people fishing for
perch. The season for perch has evil
IDENTITY opened early, for they are bit
ing in great shape and great strings
are being hauled home by most of the
anglers. The fish have been starved
by the hard winter, which accounts
for their biting freely so early in the
season.-Marinette Eagle.

As Others See IIs

An English writer, in discussing the
place OF women as workers, declares
that in America women have not the
same recognized place as workers that
they have in France. The typical
American husband still feels that It ia
his duty to make money-and his
wife's duty to spend it."

KILLING DoGs.-A pack of six mad dogs
were killed by Fayette county farmers in
the State Valley section in the past few
days. A mad dog was recently killed in
that section, but not until it had started a
spread of hydrophobia. The pack of dogs
killed Thursday and Friday are believed
to have bit nearly every dog and many
horses, cattle and hogs in that vicinity.
Paris could well afford to have a few dozen
of the worthless ours that roam our streets
killed.

Other American Warships Are on the
Way-The Kidnapped Men
in Great Peril.

Tangier, Morocco, May 31.-The
United States cruiser Brooklyn, flying
the flag of Rear Admiral Chadwick.
has arrived here. Other vessels of the
United States squadron are following.
The authorities here consider that the
position of the American, Ion Perdica-
ris, and his stepson, Cromwell Marley,
a British subject, who were kidnapped
by bandits headed by Raisuli, is now
more serious than before. Later the
cruiser Atlanta arrived and Joined the
Brooklyn. Two other American war
ships are expected shortly.
1t is understood here that the admiral
commanding the American fleet has or
ders to exercise pressure upon the Mo-
roccan authorities to induce them ia
accept Raisuli's terms. The sultan is
willing to pay ransom and liberate
Raisuli's partisans, who are now i'm
prisoned, but Raisuli now asks Ameri-
can protection for the settlement. This
last condition is considered dependent
upon the American government.
