THE DARKYs DISTINCTION.
Knew the Difference Between Legis,
lators and Men Who Gave
Him Tips.

A travelling man who makes Kan
SIS City frequently was dining in the
cafe of one of the large hotels one day
when he thought he'd play trick on
his waiter "Se that man at the next
table, George?" he said.
The waiter nodded assent.
That's DR.. Alonzo Tubbs, the Mis-
souri, legislator, who is trying to stop
all tipping" The waiter grew inter-
ested at once.
well, amt dat too bad" he said.
"Ah's been waitin' on him, too.
well, you won't get any tip there, u
said the travelling man.
"Ah suttingly treated him right" re-
piled the travelling man.
A few minutes later the man at the
other table left and the waiter re-
turned to the travelling man,
"Well," said the drummer, what
did tell your"

waiter, grinning. Dat man amt a

things had been dug up, too, and he
claimed that the men who were re-
ceiving millions of dollars In royalties
on telephones and electric lights were
frauds who were infringing on Pompeii
patents 1000 years old, and he wouldn't
believe me when | told lin that tele
phones and electric lights we're not dug
up; he said then he wouldn't believe
anything was dug up, but that the
whole thing was a put-up job to rob
tourists, But when we got to locali-
ty where the dagoes were digging the
ashes away from a house, and were
uncovering parlor, where rich things
were being discovered, he saw that 1t
was all right.

played such thing on dad, but told
him that anybody who saw a thing

throw out dirt digging for angie

Reindeer Express.

The capacity of the rheindeer for team
work is remarkable. His hoofs are very
broad and do not penetrate the snow
crusts. He will swiftly draw sled car
rying 600 pounds, and with this load can
cover 3d. SO and even 80 miles day,
The reindeer teams now carry the mails
from Kotzebue to Point Barrow, dis
lance of $50 miles-the most northern
ly post route in the world. No food is
carried for the deer At the end of the
journey, or at any stopping places, he is
turned loose and at once breaks through
the snow to the white moss which serves
as food. 1t costs nothing to feed him.
AS the white settlements increase in the
mineral bearing parts of Alaska and in
many places remote from railway and
steamboat transportation, the reindeer
express will be one of the most impor-
tant factors in territorial life.-South-

Secret of Balming.

The sarcophagi of ancient Egypt seem
TO have at length given up their great
secret, hitherto supposed to have been
unfathomable as the sphinx itself-that
of embalming. Mr.. Berthelot, perma
nent secretary of the Louvre museum, as
the result of long analytical examina-
ton of the oils and unguents which have
resisted the action of time in tombs of
the fifth and sixth dynasties, dating
back $500 years, demonstrated that the
oil was simply castor oil as is still used
in Egypt to-day, while oxidation has
produced effects analogous to those re-
sulting from the action of nitric acid on
fatty matters such as have been observed
in oils of the ancient monuments OF
Rheims. London Globe.

cred with ashes, looking for job, give
them some crackers and cheese, and

Say, do you know that some of those
refugees from Pompeii went off in such
a hurry that they left bread baking in
the ovens, and meat cooking in the
pots? 1t seems the most wonderful
thing to me of anything ever saw.
We went all through the streets and
houses, and saw bathrooms that beat
anything in San Francisco, and when
we went into building occupied by
the officers in charge of the excava-
tons, and dad saw telephone and

ODD BITS ABOUT TIGERS.
Easy and Independent Life of the
Big Cats Near the City of
Annoy, China.

Annoy is an island city ON the China
coast, near Formosa. There are noun
tains west of Annoy and according to a
correspondent there are tigers in them.
these tigers lead an easy and indepen-
dent life in the caves and dens which
abound. They come out of these every
evening just as the shadows creep over
the land and the blue mists rise from the
lower ground and hide the hills Then
the inhabitants get within their houses
and keep the doors between them and
these savage brutes. Many poor WON
an coming with water from the well,
or farmer, delayed too long in the
fields, has fallen victim to them. The
nights are spent by tigers in foraging
and the foxes and wildcats that roam
the hills and the dogs in the villages be-
come their prey.
There is nothing, however, that gives
the tiger such supreme delight as the
capture of good-sized pig. They are
truly Chinese in their tastes in this re-
spect. One of these animals will go at
steady trot with dead pig thrown
over it's back up the sides of steep hills
jumping over huge powders and TAX
ing cross cuts over the most inaccessi-
BILE ground. The physical strength OF
tiger is something enormous, and its
capacity for devouring large quantities
Of food is scarcely less amazing"

My dearfriend:-
You are probably aware Of
the fact we are in California,
among the green trees and beau
tiful flowers, the sunny skies, the
balmy air, and the orange BIOS

scent OF the flowers. The Accasia
trees around the Presbyterian
church, now in full bloom
permeates the air. so every nook
and corner in the vast structure
is fragrant withpelfume. Look
ing out OF the window OF Mrs.
Rayon's house, where sit. can
see several large pear and peach
trees in full bloom. The new
leaves have not started yet, but
the trees are full OF white BIOS
SONS, like a great snow bank,
while nearby are peach trees with
great masses OF pink blossoms
forming a beautiful contrast.
with dark green OF the Japanese
Laurel Magnolia, lemon and
orange leaves in the background.
Mrs. Rayon, and children, a
lady friend, Mrs. Davidson and ]
went out to a park called Leona
Heights Yesterday. 1t is six or
seven miles out OF the city, and
on the side OF a range OF hills,
running parallel with the bay.
The hills are covered with a good
growth Of grass fourteen inches
high with thousands of wild
flowers OF all colors mixed in and
scub live oaks here and there.
Just enough for shade. We also
visited a copper mine alittle way
from the park. | went in with
the car and saw the work going
on about 700 feet in the hill, but
it was so very warm could not
stay long at the end Of the tun-
mel with the clothing had on.
In passing through the tunnel,
| noticed before we reached the
copper, a great ledge ofred ochre.
| secured a handful as went tout
and when | interviewed the fore
man, and showed it to him, he
said it was a good quality OF red
paint and that thecompany We're
about to put in a paint plant,
which was expected to be as val
liable as the ore.
We are out doors most OF the
time, on the long walks, seeing
the beautiful sights OF flowers
and fields. The weatherhas been
almost perfect since we came to
Oakland, with the exception OF
the first ten days, wehad no rain,
but the warm sunny days prevail.
Red raspberries are in bloom
and ripening all the time, in
favored sections, SO also is the
Logan berry which is a cross be-
tween the raspberry and the

$4,000 for Conscience Fund.

Washington, December 1S.--The largest
conscience contribution that has been
made to the Government for many years

ury Thursday morning, 10th instant.
There is no clue to the sender of the
money. The contribution was in cur.
rency and amounted to $4,000. 1t was
enclosed in aplain envelope, post marked
Jersey City and addressed to Secretary
Shaw. The original amount of which
the Government was dishonesty de-
prived was $4,000, but the sender ex-
plains his contribution in the following
letter:
"Dear Sir: am sending you herewith
enclosed $4,000 which is to 90 to the
use of the United States Government.
Years ago defrauded the Government
of money, but have returned it all and
now am paying four-fold, in accordance
with the teachings of Scripture. The
way of transgressors is hard and no one
but God knows how / have suffered the
consequences, and / would seek to do
bountiful restoration. May God pardon
while the United States Government is

at this hour that / would rather be
robbed than to rob. While here / want
to pay tribute to those who stood by
me during this contest, not as Democrats
or Republicans, but as citizens of this
State in justice and right in upholding
the laws, constitution and ballot of the
people. wish to say that robbery bears
no political brand, but bears the brand
of pirates and no honest citizen will up
hold this kind of robbery. do not feel
the wrong that has been done me. 1t is
not so much a wrong to me as it is to
you, and l hope to see the hour when
retribution will come down on those
men of Colorado who are controlled by
corporations and serve these corpora
tions as their masters"

Gives Up Fight Against Boil Weeyil.

A Washington dispatch says that the
result of the report of Dr. w. ID. Hunter,
special agent in charge of the boil weevil
investigation, of the department of agri-
culture, has been issued. The statement
is to the effect that the result of the
work for several years sis not even the
remote probability that the boil weevil
will ever be extermnated." 1t also says
that no Injurious insect has ever been
exterminated.
AS to the best methods of destroying
the boil weevil, DR.. Hunter advises early
planting, and after the crop is gathered
to plow in old stalks. He also suggests
the getting of early varieties of seeds
from points of the weevil district. 1t is
possible, also, to fertilize fields in order
to hurry the growth Of the plant.

Home Tor Drunkards.

Chicago, March 25.-Hospital ships for
habitual drunkards, to be anchored in a
safely isolated part of the harbor, is the
scheme proposed by DR.. c. r.. Mix, ex-
pert in tho treatment of alcoholic pa
tients, in a lecture before the social
science class in the fine arts building
DIR. Mix discussed the subject of cure
for inebriates, calling the present system
of throwing drunkards indiscriminately
into the Bridewell "archaic." An habit
ual drunkard is diseased man, said Dr.
Mix, and he should be looked after with
a medical eye. The first thing to do is
to withdraw the poison, then take care
of the reactionary symptoms. The
physical damage on the stomach, liver
and kidneys must be repaired. After
this comes the year or 80 of GONZALES
cence and the patient should have an
education of the evils of alcoholism.

cotton the grand go-by this year. He
will plant all his cotton land in peas.
When asked his reason for cutting out
cotton altogether Mr.. Williams replied
that there was no money in the staple at
u cents, and he does not expect the price
to be any higher than that next fall. He
operates a fopr-horse- farm and he in
tends to SOW peas on every foot of his
cotton land this year. He has already
invested $125 in seed peas for planting
purposes. He expects not only to make
money off his pea and peavine crops, but
to greatly improve his soil as we'll.

Letter to Thos. Y. Chalmers, WalhaIIa.

Dear Sir: Would you like to hear of a
20 year paint?
James A. O'Neils house, Henderson,
N. c., was painted 20 years ago with
Devoe lead-and-zinc, and never painted
again till last year; it then looked better
than common paint in half that time.
The reason is: Devoe is all paint and
true paint; while the common paints are
part true and part false. Don't pay to
monkey with paint.
And Devoe costs less than any of 'em
not by the gallon, of course; by the house
and year. That's how to reckon it. Go
by the name. Yours truly,
