Foster hsother of Five Bull Pups.

Out in Eales avenue, most fash
ionable pat Of Kansas City, a big
maltese ca. mother is giving her en-
tire attention and care to litter of
five bull Puppies. while she nourishes
a kitten of her own and strives pains
takingly tc encourage the six to
dwell in pace and unity. Recently
the mother of the puppies, blue
rib bon English bull that was register
ed and hal been exhibited at many
dog shows. died, leaving to mourn her
loss the fifp puppies, then but a few
days old.
Capt. kennedy, the official dog
enumerator was surprised in no small
measure Wien a young woman called
at his offic. and asked for a mother
for the puppies.
81 havn't a dog of that description
now" explained the impounder, aft
er lie had regained his equilibrium,
"but have big maltese cat which, |
think, will prove to be the best kind
of mother to your puppies"
So the cat and one of her kittens
were removed to the young woman's
home in Bales avenue. Then the five
hungry puppies were turned over to
their strange mother. The cat purred
gloriously, and by other manifesto
tons expressed her delight. For more
than two weeks she has nursed the
the five puppies and her one offspring.
All day long the puppies caper around
with the mother cat and her kitten,
and when night comes the whole
bloomin' clenagerie climb into box
together and roll up in solid ball
of cat fur and dog hair.-Kansas City

Cushions Of Fat Saved Him.

After falling three stories while
sleeping and landing on stone side
walk, Thomas Gallagher, a ESQ pound
er, came to consciousness in the op-
Grating room Of a New York hospital
and astonished the surgeons surround
ing him by jumping up, dancing
around the room, and walking home
uninjured.
Cushions Of fat on which he landed
after his fall, said the surgeons, saved
his life
Gallagher occasionally walks in his
sleep. He took one of the nocturnal
trips early to-day by way of an open
window. A policeman heard the thud
block away. The surgeon who came
with the ambulance gave Gallagher up
for lost and it was thought that only
an operation could save him.

The Bi-thright Of Twins.

A curious case as to which of two
twins was born first came before
Lord Pearson in the Edinburgh Court
of Sessions.
The twins were John McJarrow, an
engineer of Virvan, and Charles Nc
Jarrow, a grocer, of Glasgow.
Their father had died intestate
while John was in South Africa, leav-
ing 91,500 worth of property Charles
had taken possession of this, claiming
to be the elder son.
John, in giving his evidence, said
that he was born on Aug. "a, 1857, at
o'clock in the morning and that his
brother was born half an hour after
ward. The births were registered as
such.
Charles, on the other hand, averred
that the entries in the register were
erroneous, and that his father recog-
nized himself as his eldest son.
Lord Pearson gave judgment for
John, without costs.

RAISE BUTTERFLIES FOR SALE.
Regular Business Carried On in Out

regular BUSINESS Carried On IN Out
skirts Of Berlin.
Travellers in Berlin visiting the ad-
jacent country in the spring, are sur
prised to see the trees in the woods
gayly dressed in gauze as if for a
ball. The gauze, which is put around
the short branches, is tied up near
the trunk of the tree and is not in
tended for decorative use, but is the
work of the butterfly harvesters.
It is well known that many butter
flies are valuable, and unique speci-
mems in good condition will bring
good prices. In catching full-fedged
butterfly there is always danger Of
injuring it's delicate wings and de-
stroying or lessening it's value. To
obtain the butterflies in the most
satisfactory manner the collectors
raise their own specimens, and they
choose the woods for the grazing
ground. With boxes of caterpillars
on nests Of leaves, they repair to the
outskirts of Berlin, and place the
worms on the limbs, where they will
have sufficient quantity of food of
the proper kind and live under nat
ural conditions. The gauze is placed
carefully over each limb after SUI
fcient number of the caterpillars have
been placed on it, and left to make
their cocoons, when the harvest is
gathered. Trees dressed in this way
present peculiar appearance.

A City of White.

There could not possibly be a whittier
city than Cadiz, unless it were built of
snow. AS you near the coast you see
in front Of you white mass which ap-
pears to be floating upon the water,
just as you are. The first thought of a
foreigner is that he is in sight of an
iceberg. The white mass, glittering in
the. sun and rendered more dazzling by
the blue sea and sky, looks exactly
like a monster ice mountain partly
melted, SO that outlines Of castles. and
hills appear upon it; but only for a
second does the illusion last, for you
know there are no icebergs in that
part, and you are quickly informed
that it is Cadiz. No other town in the
world presents such magic appear

Credulous Chicauoan.

Frank Gadomsky, of Chicago, swore
out warrants for the arrest of Joseph
Kozel, Martin Kozel and Frank Ma
ronski,. charging them with swindling
him.
The alleged swindle, according to
the complainant, was the result on his
part of credulity and cupidity. The
man says that he was made to believe
that by carrying a hen for eight days
and following formula given him by
the alleged confidence men he could
cause dollar to return to him again
and again after he had spent it.
Gadomsky followed this advice, but
no wealth came to him. Now he seeks
the arrest Of the three men and the re-
turn of money which he says he gave
to them for their secret"

MANS FIGHT WITH BABcoN. =

comes It's Slayer.
The South African mail brings q
thrilling tale Of fight to the death
between a man and giant baboon.
Mr.. Robert Heugh, proprietor OF
Kamechs Farm, Uitenhage, saw a
baboon in his orchard, and shot him
through the body at 800 yards. The
animal was, however, able to get
away, and was afterwards seen on tho
top Of an adjoining BILL where he
suddenly dropped. Thinking that he
was dead. Mr.. Heugh went after hiza
with two terriers and 3 native. Tho
dogs ran up to the supposed carcass,
when the babcon suddelly rose,
caught the unfortunate terriers, bit
large piece out of each, cast them
from him with such violence as 30
kill them. and then made furiously for
their master, tearing his arm OPEN
from shoulder to wrist. The native
bolted, and the partially disabled
white man was left alone to battle with
the enraged baboon. Mr.. Heugh is
active and muscular, but his efforts to
throttle his antagonist and to beat his
face in with his fist were unayailing,
and he was forced to the ground.
Here, while desperately struggling,
the mans hand came in contact with
a large stone. This he seized, and
with almost last effort fractured the
baboons skull with it. When the
body was measured it was found to be
over five feet.-En glish Exchange.

and a peevy and ran outdoors toward

and a peevy and ran outdoors toward
the rollway
AS the swirling waters of the river
flashed in the glare of the lantern, he
heard a weak voice calling:
Quick. boss! Come quick! can't
hol dem log no longer!"
Then Maston saw Pock's face,
strangely contorted, straining above
the bottom log Of the tier.
Loosed by the breaking Of the prop
at the end of it, this log had swung
forward down the rollway toward the
river, until it had nearly wrenched
away the prop at the outer end.
Pock crouched, with his shoulder be-
meath a bending lever, striving against
the further slipping Of the ponderous
tree trunk.
AS yet the friction was sufficient to
hold the logs behind in place, but they
might move at any moment; and
should the prop at the other end give
way, the whole mass would overwhelm
Pock, and sliding like an avalanche,
plunge into the river.
Maston sprang over the log and
threw his peevy into position beneath
it. Bending to the lift with all his
great strength, he stopped the sliding.
POcly, feeling the terrible strain
upon his shoulder relax, grcaned fee
bly, and sank down upon the ground.
in few seconds that elapsed be-
fore the men came running down, Mas
ton heard at his right and almost UNI
der him moan of suffering; and when
the men pried up the log, Maston drew
out from under it Peter, crushed and
Senseless.
The cook was still breathing, how
ever, and when he. had been carried
back to the camp and carefully exam
ined, Maston was relieved to find that
he had received no worse an injury
than broken leg.
By that time Pocky had recovered
sufficiently to tell his story, although
size it with his usually profuse ges-
lures.

The raft of logs went safely down
stream in the end, and out of his pro-
fits Maston provided a handsome re-
ward for Iaocky. AS for Peter, he did
some thinking during the weeks that
he lay on his back, and when he was
at last well enough to take his de-
parture from the camp, he said to his
former assistant:

TREE AS LUNCHEON TENT.
Immense Washington Patriarch the
Last of Its Race.

Last of Its Race.
In the state Of Washington there il
a remarkable old tree which, in spite
OF It's phenomenal quality, is known to
but few people. Inside Of it twenty
adult persons have gathered at one
time, and, comfortably seated, have
eaten their lunch, which they spread
around the wonderful living spring
that bubbles up continually in the
center. Probably there is not another
such growth In nature. The coinci.
dence Is most noteworthy. The tree
Is situated on Vashion isfand, and this
island is in the middle Of Ruget sound.
This "spring tree" is the Mecca fer
the summer school chauteuquans Of
the local organization.
The timber of the entire state is
generally large and fine, but this par
ticular specimen is evidently unique
and the last Of the race left standing,
like fcrlorn patriarch in the midst
OF his younger descendants. The cir
Gle inside on the ground is eighteen
feet in diameter, and the tree is hol-
low. having been burned off at the top,
the bark scorched and the heart gut
ted by a forest fire many years ago.
This condition leaves what is really a
trunk or stump standing, about twenty
feet high and open at the top, thus
making the chamber very light One
can see clear through the tree owing
to the FIRE having burned holes
through.

stone bearing the impress of the feet
OF some prehistoric animal has been
brought to light from eighty feet be-

three. toed, about three inches long,
