LOTS OF ANIMALS FAINT.
Cats in Particular Are Subject tt i Attacks When They Be- i come Excited.

When the little white kitten tumbled down on the rug with a piteous "meaouw" the woman, who always knows what to do, picked her up and called for the camphor bottle, relates the New York Port.
 I, "She has tainted, poor little thing, said the woman. "Camphor will bring her to-"
 All the other boarders laughed, but the woman continued to administer the aromatic spirits in her own moth erly fashion. When the white kitten | had revived the woman sought cor roboration of her diagnosis from the veterinary surgeon next door.
 i "of course, the cat tainted" he said 'Lots of animals faint. Cats are es. ipecIally apt to keel over in moments of excitement These attacks are sometimes confused with fits, but they are really fainting spells. and the patient can be brought to with cam. phor. Dogs faint, too. and horses. 4 horse that faints is usually thought to have blind staggers or sunstroke. but anybody knowing the animals con- stftution can tell the difference and ap- ply the special treatment required"

CITY TUNNEL UPSIDE DOWN
A Town in Montana Shows Wonders in Mining on Large
 Scale.

The sightseer has a pleasant experi- ence at Helena, Mont, but to get a glimpse of the internal wonders of mining he must go to Butte, says Worlds Work. Perhaps nowhere else can he have such an experience. In sense the world is upside down. To begin with, the city takes its water from the eastern side of the continen- tai divide and thus diverts it from the Atlantic to the Pacific slope. Then a large part of it's population is always underground, and it's underground all leys and streets (so to call them) are longer than those overground. All Its wealth comes from these depths. Moth. ing green can grow there. In general nature is turned topsy-turvy.
 But it is rich-very rich-interest. ingly rich The pay rolls of the mines and smelters are $2,000,000 a month, or about $30 for every man, woman and child.
 Within radius of mile from the court house there are 125 mines in operation, and, they are prodnning more than one-fourth of the copper mined in the world. From beneath the sur. face of this 1000 acres has already been taken 1,75o,00O tons of copper bull lion-enough to make an ordinary trol- ley wire, they tell you, 100000 miles long If all the shafts, drifts and cross. cuts in the hill around Butte and un. der 1t could be put together into one straight tunnel, it would reach-sc they assure you-from Butte to the Pa. cific ocean. This wonderful place oi mines-nobody who has ever seen fl can forget it-is on the path that not many years ago Sitting Bull ranged with his braves.

RIDE IN KNIckERBockERS.
Women Thinking Only of Their Com fort Are Shocking California
 Society.

California society has been quite up- set by the forwardness of some society women who have had the hardihood to ignore public opinion and, thinking only of their own comfort and safety, assumed knickerboclers and coat in stead of the conventional riding habit. and Lady Algy' in the San Francisco News Letter sets forth in lively fash ion the excitement this action evoked. At the time of writing 1t was the prime subject of conversation in Del Monte, where Mrs. Walter Martin had ap- peared in a very stylish suit and walked very storm of criticism, which had not hindered other women from sending to New lork tailors for the same costume
 On the whole, the question seems to be, is there any sensible reason why an equestrienne should not wear knicker- lockers? They. are not unbecoming while on horseback, and the wearer certainly does not intend to use them elsewhere. The long coat that accom- panies them reaches to the end of the knickerbockers, where it meets the high boot, and the great point is that the knickerbocker suit is easy and safe-even better than the divided skirt, now so long the fashion since people have grown sensible and ride astride, avoiding the constant peril of life and limb incurred by the use of the riding habit. .es.
 Lady Algy" affects to think that riding astride and sensible costume destroys all grace, but admits there is much less danger to life and also that New York and Washington worn- en wear knickerbockers. She refers to the daughter of Senator Elkins and Miss Roosevelt as proof that the thing can be done without losing standing in society.

Somebody interested in such matters has compiled an interesting table of statistics of the number of stamps of all countries issued during the past 60 years. From this statement it ap- pears that the collector who would have an absolutely perfect collection must possess 1922 different stamps. Of these. the republic of San Salvador has more issues to Its credit than any other country. The number up to June 30 was 451. oceania has 1,425 va rieties. Asia 3,62S, Africa, 4.005, Europe 4,0S9, and America 6,095.

Mo..lsh Fish.

The blue buccaneers are among the most voracious of all fish. Swift, strong, armed with efficient teeth, they possess unlimited appetite, and they know not the meaning of mercy or fear. Most destructive os all our sea fish, they rival the worst of the car nivorous species of South American waters. They are the wolves of the sea, and very frequently they destroy for what appears to be mere love of butchery. They move in large schools, and they never hesitate to attack tishes of almost twice their own size.

Valuable Beetle.

In Central America the most re- markable gold beetles in the world are found. The head and wing-cases are brilliantly polished with luster as of gold itself To sight and touch they have all the seeming of metal. Oddly enough, another species from the same region has the appearance of being wrought in solid silver. freshly bur nished. These gold and silver beetles have a market value. They are worth from $25 to $50 each.

voracity of Carp.

The Sportsmen's club, of Canan- dadgua lake. which secured the neces- sary legislative enactment to permit the use of nets for carp fishing, in an attempt to rid the waters of the pest, is proceeding as rapidly as possible with the work. It has been found that the stomach of single carp, weighing eight pounds, often contains four pounds of the spawn of other fish. The stocking of waters with trout and bass is almost useless where carp abound. Watkins Express.

The Brides Bouquet.

Editor Box and his chronicle of
small beer have warm places in the
hearts Of the public The women
look for his heart 10 heart outpour-
ings, as the hart panteth for the
waterbrook, and the warmth OF admi-
ration the men have for him would
scorch his peaeh-blow complexion il
he could be made TO feel it.
The June number of the Ladies'
Home Journal has a eov,:r adorned
with picture entitled. f"The Brides
Bouquet" Many brides bouquets
have been seen. but never such a one
as this. To begin with, there is a
handle. or stem, or support for the
bouquet, from which float yards of
ribbon; then the bouquet is fringed
with a filigree of lace, the significance
of which can hardly be imagined, and
amidst all this glory of refined Box
fstic femininity appear the angel faces
OF twenty-seven cherubs-yet unborn
and wearing their pristine wings.
June is the month of brides, but
no one but Mr. Box would think of
throwing such a bouquet of American
beauties at the lovely creatures, nor
would any man care TO marry such
an extrayagant bouquet bearer. But
