Anticipating the usual influx of shady
characters, smooth fingered gentry and
house breakers, Mayor Jones more than
auadrupled the police force for the day.
Special officers, both in uniform and
in plain clothes, have been stationed at
the grounds in the business and resi-

precautions, not only about their homes

When Hiaz tioad swoI,ed.

As illustrative of the exhilarating
effects of liquor, railroad official
tells the story of switchman who
took drink and felt that he ought
to be section boss. He took another
and said, 81 ought to be q division
superintendent" He took two or
three more and felt that he ought to
be general manager of the railroad.
Then he took two or three more and
thought he should be president of
the road.
In few minutes the fast express
was approaching. The switchman
raised aloft his red lamp and
brought the train to standstill.
"What is the trouble ?" inquired
the conductor.
The switch1nan slowly pulled out
his watch and said: "You are two
minutes late. Don't let this happen
again. New York Times.

PITH AND POINT.

The man who changes Jobs frequent
ly never has q good one.
When company goes there is n feel.
ing about the house that suggests an
easy old shoe.
1t is the opinion Of every mother that
boy never loses IN opportunity for
attempting to break his neck.
Because n friend shows desire to
be sympathetic don't pull the family
skeleton out Of the closet to entertain
him.
AS man gets older he finds that
more of his friends are visiting tho
cemetery when they go riding than
formerly.
Tho people who are used to good
things when Mt home are very patient
with the poor accommodations met
away from home.

! Iona In Accounts.

Once upon a time there was q
woman who, being married, had her
husband to talk to, and she never
lost an opportunity to giye 6
lengthy, full and complete account
Of the various things that interested
her. .
Her husband had been trained in
to patience and listened quietly to
her accounts Of events that did not
in the least interest him, though
she consumed great amount Of
time with details and repetitions
that might have caused show Of
impatience on the part Of a listener
less wise than he was.

short in their accounts.-New York

A Curious eridae.

One Of the mcst curious bridges
ever built was that made by the
British troops in 1860. They were
marching on Peking, but found their
progress barred by taleeooi,sd aeeooia,sedd river OF
considerable width and depth. A
timber party was formed, but found
nothing tc'1 cut down or borrow suit
able for bridge. At last a huge
store of cofins was discovered in the
village, and with these the soldiers
built their bridge and crossed alive
over the receptacles for the dead.

THE SEA CUCUMBER.
A Monster Worm That Is Eaten With
Relish In Aaa.


An important food of the teeming
millions of Asiatic countries, partic-
ularly China, is trepang. Other
names for it are sea slug, sea cucum-
Der, sea pudding and beche de ner.
1t looks like huge worm. Off the
coasts of Queensland and New GUM
ca great fleets of Malay and Chi
nese vessels search for this creature.
1t is secured in various ways. The
Malays on the Queensland coasts
employ great numbers of the aborig-
inals to wade about in tho water,
the blacks detecting the trepang by
standing upon it and also by prick
ing the sandy bottom with their
spears. The natives also dive, with
great skill and success, in the deep
er waters and bring up the fish. Ire
pang varies in size, some specially
large slugs being nearly two feet in
length while alive, but when proper
ly prepared for market they are
much shriveled up, measuring from
four to ten inches.
Every few miles on the Queens
land northern coasts the traveller
comes upon bark huts, with places
for the drying and storing Of tre-
pang. It is first soaked in cold wa
ter, then carefully scraped and
cleaned, then boi.ed all day and
again scraped and cleaned, then
once more soaked in cold water.
Then it is split down one side, then
pressed under heavy stones, then
stretched open with bamboo skew
ers, sun dried, smoked for some
days, then stored away, to be con-
stantly looked after and sun dried
again to prevent mildew. When
cured, it has a dirty gray OF dark
brown color, is rigid and ugly look
ing-anything but tempting.
There are many varieties of tre-
pang, and the fishermen forward
them to different markets, where
preference is given to particular
kinds. The red and white are con-
sidered inferior, and these are pur-
chased and used by the less particu-
Lar people of the north, while the
brown and black sorts, full of juice
and flavor, are supplied to the
wealthy people Of the south. Some
forms of trepang are said to be eat
en- raw by the Japanese. Soup made
from it is palatable and nutritious,
being little inferior to turtle soup.
