A PATHETIC case is reported from Boston.
A poor laboring man named William Kilmar-
tin lost the sight of both eyes in dynamite
explosion three years ago while he was working
for the city. He brought suit for damages and
few days ago jury awarded him s14,500.
Speaking of the verdict Kilmartin said: "All
the money in the world wouldn't buy my eye
sight, I'd rather have the use of my eyes than
all the gold ever coined. My friends will say,
Isn't he lucky? but if the beautiful sunlight
had been shut out from their life for three
years, as it has from mine because of the ex-
plosion, perhaps they would think differently.
No, sir mans most valuable gift is his
eyes," The unfortunate man, who was 80
years of age and ablebodied, has since the ac-
cident been almost as helpless as a child.

A DISPATCH from Washington to the Balti-
more american, dated November S0th, says:
.sThe coming contest in the Maryland courts
between Citizen Murray Vandiver and Gov
ernor WarfeId, Of Maryland, over the pro-
posed constitutional amendment which Is in
tended to disfranchise the colored voters Of the
State is attracting no little attention in Wash
neton. The spectacle Of the conflict between
the Democratic Governor and the Democratic
machine over the proposition to wipe out the
negro vote is regarded here as unique. and the
result is awaited with Impotence. It has
been suggested that. in view of the effect OF the
amendment, if it adopted by thep people next
fall, Governor Warfeld will leave ostoIe IN
turned to defeat Mr.. Vandiver's attempt to
have the courts issue writ of mandamus. It
has been suggested that Attorney General
Moody might not be unwilling to tender Gov
ernor Warfield and Attorney General Bryan
the assistance Of the Department Of Justice IL
their contest before the State courts and it is
not impossible that tentative suggestion may
be automatically made to Governor Warileld
before long, intimating that the services OF one
Of the assistant attorneysg general OF the United
States may be at the disposal Of Governor
Warfield and Attorney General Bryan II they
desire his services. II is assumed here that
Governor Warfield is entirely sincere in bis
opposition to the projected Acknowledgement
of the black vote by means Of this constitu'
tional amendment, and that he will gladly
avail himself of such powerful aid as that Of
the Department of Justice"

The UNIvERsITY Of Washington is investi-
eating the discovery-testified to by dozens Of
miners-that live toad was found on Oc-
tober 10th in the coal mines at Newton, six
miles from Seattle, in solid stratum of coal
800 feet below the surface. twas carried to the
surface and lived several hours. 1t is said to
have been of unusual size. This toad myth
has resurrection about every decade, and,
like most superstitions, will not down. The
salamander can still feel comfortable in a
furnace, and an upset salt cellar brings bad
luck. Until the masses learn the relation
of cause and effect they will cling to the mar
velous and superstitious. Many teachers
institute will be held before that far-off time

for the erection of a memorial to Mckinley in
Canton, o.. has been secured. Commenting
on this fact the Baltimore Herald, a Demo-
cratic newspaper, said: mo President since
the days Of Lincoln has appealed so STRONGLY
to the American heart by his gentleness and
graciousness. Against all his instincts, he
was forced to assume the grave duty of guild
ing the destinies ofthe nation in foreign war.
It is doubtful if in any other Executive since
Lincoln the American Congress would have
shown the confidence it did in President Nc

TRAVELLER BITTEN BY FEAR.
Thought 1t Was Snake Bite and
with His Own Hand Applied
Burning Stick.

The agonies Of fear which follow the
bite OF vsnonous snake are described
by Henry Taunton in "Australind." One
afternoon, while Mr. Taunton was herd
Ing cattle on an Australian range, the
overseer rode out to see how the new
hand was getting along. The CONVEX
sation turned on snakes, and the over
seer told Mr.. Taunton of many instan-
ces of death from snake bites.
81 listened to so many stories that
evening that when, having ridden with
my friend part of his way home, turned
and rode slowly back to the solitary
camp, my mind was full of snakes. 1t
was quite dusk as rode along the track,
which led through scrub and bushes.
Suddenly l received a sharp sting on
the thigh. A thrill of agonizing, sick
ening fear came over me that some
snake coiled in the bush had bitten me-
For a moment lost all presence of mind
The relaxing effects of fear made me
feel sick and faint Certain death, IN
most agonizing form, stared me grim
ly in the face. Overwhelming terror
nearly paralyzed nae.
81 was miles from any help. / coed
not hack the injured limb off, as might
be possible had the sting been delivered
On the hand or foot. Only one chance
of safety presented itself to my distract
ed mind, and that was to cut away the
flesh round the bite and cauterize it with
the glowing end of tife-stick, if only
could do it before the venom had been
absorbed into nay system.
'Maddened with fear l galloped for
camp flung myself from the painting
horse, rushed round like mailman, and
pitched brushwood on the fire until
brilliant blaze Illuminated the scene.
I'm frantic haste I exposed my still
smarting thigh. Sure enough, there was
a small puncture from which a minute
drop of blood exuded.
"No time could be lost, but even in
my extremity had not sufficient nerve
to cut deeply into my own flesh. Max
ing two superficial slashes crosswise
over the bite, seized one Of the glow
ing embers and held it into the wound
The torture forced me to desist before
had sufficiently cauterized the fatal
spot, but felt it would be better to SUBJ
NIT tony fate than to bear further self
inflicted pain.
II was kept awake for hours by the
suffering from the burn, but finally
slept. When awoke felt none the
worse for the accident. Gradually the
conviction stole over me that had been
the victim of my own fears and the prick |
of some thorny bush.
THE sore place on my thigh remind
ed me fer many days to come that pricks
and punctures are not well served by |
means Of fear and fire-sticks."

EAT AT STATES EXPENSE.
Hucksters' Hungry Horses in Indian
apolis Are Fed with Grass from
State House Lawn.

The extreme leanness of some of the
horses that laborhously drag hucksters'
wagons over the streets Of Indianap-
oils would be aecentuated by several
degrees were it not for ain indulgent
custom of the state Of Indiana, says
the Star.
The state house lawn covers several
acres. And on this lawn the grass
grows luxuriantly, because of much
watering and careful nurture. To cut
this grass it takes two men with lawn
mowers, working steadily, about three
and half days. Last summer this
was done IA times.
The two yard men say that the grass
they cut from the Lawn every time
would make a ton of good, dry hay,
at fair estimate.
When a section of the lawn is cut
the grass is raked into heaps and left
near the edge OF the sidewalk. That
is to say, it is put there. 1t isn't
left very long.
NucksfeEs learned long ago that the
grass might be had for the asking.
Now they take it without asking
Whenever a heap of freshly cut grass
is left near the coping there is a
huckster ready to pile it into his
wagon. Sometimes he fills. his wagon
with COED measure, heaped up, with
extra sideboards on.
Sometimes the hucksters stand at
the curb. a hungry look in their own
eyes and those of their horses, wait
ing for the grass to be raked into
heaps. Then they almost fight for it.
If one consults the market page for
the price of hay one will see that the
state Of Indiana last year saved In
dianapolis hucksterS between $3.50 and
SITS that they would otherwke have
had to spend for hay. Or else the
horses might have staggered to death
under their loads.

SUGGESTIONS OF MALAYs.
The Brown People Will Not Do Ger
tain Things ON Certain Days
and Believe in 0mens.

You can scarcely ever get your money
from a Malay on Friday, because they
believe that if they pay their creditors
on Friday they will be overtaken by
penury. Malays never share or cut
their nails on Saturday or Tuesday be-
cause these are unlucky days, and If
they do part with their hair or nails on
these days they believe that they will
be always in trouble or will die quick
ly, says the Penang Straits Echo. The
Malay never sleeps in the afternoon, for
such an action shortens life! When
rat bites a Malay's clothes, 1t signifies
i'll luck, and usually the rat-bitten
clothes are given away to the poor.
There is kind Of bird called by the
Malays rowk-howk- which does not
build a nest, and lives In fields The
Malays say that whoever obtains a
rowk-howk's nest will become invisible
as soon as he puts the nest on his head.
OF course, the Malays believe that there
is suN a nest, despite the fact that the
bird never builds one.
II Malay feels that his right hand is
itchy, he is glad because he will re-
ceive large SUM of money, and if he
feels that his right eye moves, he knows
that he will see a foreign friend. If
tears issue from either eye, he under
stands that a relative of his will die,
and If he too often forgets his promises
to his many friends ne is aware that he
will die and will shed tears rather pro-
fusely.
When there Is an eclipse Of the moon
OF sun the Malays abstain from taking
food and perform their ablutfons, in or
der that no contagious disease may at
tack them. Crows are an i'll omen, and |
whenever a crow cawcaws near a Malay |
habitation it means death to some one
OF the inmates. Supposing a Malay |
walks along a road and suddenly a
black cat crosses before him, he will at |
once turn back and walk along another
path. The crossing of the black cat
signifies danger involving the loss Of
life.
You seldom see Malays bite their
nails, because this action is likely to
lead the doer into poverty. If Malay
sees pig or a Chinese funeral before the
sun rises, say at $50 a. M, he knows
that he is lucky, and whatever he does
on this day he is sure to meet with
success. Dreaming Of jumping brook

IRRICATE FROM ICE SUPPLY.
Montana People Freeze Water to Be
Used During the Sum-
mer Months.

In Montana the experiment has been
tried of freezing water to be used for ir-
rigation. AS soon as the weather be-
comes such as to melt the ice It is fit for
the operations requiring the water.
The plan, which so far is In the nature
of an experiment, consists in making A
series OF shallow basins on the slope OF a
hill in such locsipns that, when water
is plentiful, they may be filed, each OF
those below the highest receiving sue
sessively the overflow from the one
above It, =
Once frozen, the ice In these shallow
reservoirs is there until the thaw sets
in, when it melts SO slowly as to keep
up supply Of moisture sufficient for
the termination and growth Of early
crops. This unique method has been
tried so far only N the vicinity of Dillon,
but 1t appears to be successful and Is TO
be given a triad In several other favor
able localities.

Prinnine Fowls.

It should not be necessary to remind
a housekeeper that all fowls. whether
turkeys, ducks. geese or chickens, and
whether intended for frying, boiling.
roasting or broiling. should be left to
hang at least "a hours, or until the mus
cles have completely relaxed after death.
There is usually no danger that fowls
will be cooked too soon after they have
been killed, except In the country, where
housekeepers often do not hang them at
ell, but transfer them in two or three
hours from the poultry yard to the pot.
The old southern cook cooked her fowls
while they were still warm, Immediately
after they were killed, but there is
prejudice in the north against cooking
anything with the animal heat In it. II
fowls are not cooked immediately after
killing, they should be left "a hours

STRONG MINDED WOMEN.
Many in Cavite, Philippines, Com

Oriental women are usually weak and

she simply directs her male crew. who

Yes. He Had a Nose.

A friend of Senator Patrick M. McCar-
rem, of Brooklyn, told the following
story about him at the Hoffman house
few days ago:
Senator McCarren went into restaur-
ant near the capitol in Albany a few
weeks ago and ordered some fish. When
it was placed before him he sat back in
his chair and looked indignant
What do you mean by bringing such
fish to a gentleman" he asked Of the
colored waiter.
''Bes' fish in Albany, sah," he replied.
Have you such thing as a nose?"
inquired the senator, angrily.
"'Deed has, sah," said the waiter.
''Well, can't you smell the fish, then?"
Smell de fish, sah?" repeated the
waiter. Use been smellIn' de fish fer

GRAPE JUICE PREPARATIONS
Products of Turkey Which May Be
Worthy of Imitation in the
United States.

desire to call the attention Of Ameri-
can grape growers to several Turkish
preparations from grape juice which
strike me as worthy of consideration,
possibly of imitation.
Enthusiastically expressed grape
Juice is evaporated down to the consis-
ency Of molasses. A considerable
amount of -four or starch is mingled with
1t and the mixture is spread in thin sheets
upon cotton cloth and exposed for two
days to the sunshine After drying,
these are then removed from the cotton
"a damp cloth being applied to the re-
verse side in order to loosen the sheets)
and for three months they are preserved
In tightly closed jars. After this period
there seems to be no risk Of decomposi-
ton In the product, which resembles
leather in pliability and appearance, the
color being that of the grapes employed
at the outset.
Kessme-This preparation differs
from the preceding in that coarse wheat
grits are employed instead of -four or
starch, and the resultant product is OBJ
tanned In cakes half an inch thick. after
drying On metal plates. It is less tough
than the basduk and more savory.
suzuki (rojik, in Armenian) The
meats OF walnuts are strung closely to-
gether on pieces of stout Irvine a yard
long. These strings are immersed in
the mixture Of grape molasses and -four
described above, and after receiving a
coating about one-fourth Of an inch in
thickness are withdrawn and hung I'D
to dry.
The last two are preserved for a few
months in jars, as in the case of the
basduk.
These three preparations are excel
lent articles of food, the last two being
especially savory. They offer much
nutriment in compact form, and are
exceptionally well adapted for the needs
Of the oriental traveller.
In these days of grape cures" when
lnfermented grape juice is prepared on
large scale for the use of invalids and
the anemic during the months when
fresh grapes are not easily obtained. it |
might be we'll to consider whether these
condensed forms of grape juice might |
not be advantageously introduced into |
American dietaries.
Personally, | have found these grape |
preparations attractive and satisfactory |
additions to the somewhat limited list |
If comestibles available in this region
md exceedingly convenient when jour-
leying.
