another d. d., also colored. He was
tried before the same magistrate and
committed TO jail in default of 80. 75.
but released on payment of same later
in the day.
Two OF the most interesting, not to
say exciting cases were those of Alex.
ander Jones and Charles johnson.
Both were arrested by the Chief of
Police for drunk aud disorderly con.
duct Saturday night. They had been
working the meat market and John.
son had been given 40 or 90 pounds of
meat which he was carrying when
captured. As the Chief went to take
the key from his pocket to open the
stationhouse for the reception of his
prisoners, Johnson took advantage of
the release of the Chiefs hold on him
and took leg liberty. He sprinted out
Duke of Gloucester street. Mean.
while the Chief locked up his other
man and then went in pursuit Of the
sprinter. Seeing that Johnson was
gaining on him the Chief fired two
shots at the fugitive at the corner of
Duke of Gloucester and Conduit
streets, intending to frighten him. 1t
did.
The negro dropped his meat aud
fed the faster, the Chief in hot pur-
suit. Johnson got to the corner of
Cathedral aud Charles streets when
the Chief gave up tho chase and re.
turned to the stationhouse with the
meat. The shots had alarmed the resi-
dents Of Gloucester street, who were
at doors aud windows and thought
the Chief was carrying a dead man,
or perhaps dead dog. Few guessed
it was 80 pounds of meat the Chief
was danlging. Johnson, the fugitive,
was captured early Sunday morning
and both he and Jones had hearing
yesterday before Justice Foldmeyer
and were fined 81. 10 aud committed to

called in question, enriched as never before, or at least as they have not been enriched for a long time by any discovery, and made so astonishingly fertile that they lead the mind toward a new vision of reality, of being and of life.
 As for the practical results of Curie's work, we do not know them all It is possible that one day radium may be of use in the treatment of such diseases as vancer and lupus.
 In his little laboratory in the Rue Lhomand, Curie seemed not to behold those great horizons which he had un- yelled. Instead, he did all in his power to escape having his head turned De- voted to his crucibles, he searched, watched and took notes. Finding him so modest and so willingly confined to his studies, recalled phrase of Dar- win, who, writing to a friend, said; l People philosophize a great deal about I my books but I am only naturalist; and I am formulating a hypothesis of natural history. I have mo gift for gen. eralizing; my only qualities are those of | a careful observer"
 When efforts were made to have Pierre Curie decorated, he refused that
 useless honor. Though econsented to
 become member of the institute 1t
 was only because the academy of sei-,
 ences is great laboratory of common I devotion to the search for truth. l When he had obtained few deci- grammes of radium some Americans
 wanted to buy the precious metal for
 half million francs-which he refused, i because he needed his radum in his
 work. If he accepted the Nobel prize
 and various other endowments, 1t was
 to devote the money to his investiga- 1 tions.
 Last year. when he accepted chair
 at the Sorbonne he stipulated that he must also have a laboratory in which
 ne could carry on his studies in the company of the woman whose assist
 ance to him was so constant that their
 discoveries were made absolutely in
 common, so that the work of the one
 could not be distinguished &rom the
 work of the other. The bulletin of the
 ministry of public instructions pub lished the official documents relating to
 the construction of this laboratory. It
 published them the day he was killed.
 Pierre Curie, hardworl1ing and shy, lived a very secluded life. He pos- | sessed a little cottage just beyond the
 Pare Montsourls, He had two children.
 both girls. His conservation to science
 was complete; he had accepted her rude
 discipline, her severe methods. And
 the supreme simplicity of hu life and
 character was that of man who has
 long been devoted to one magnificent
 and imperious idea and cannot re-
 nounce his devotion.-Translated from
 Le Figaro for the Boston Transcript.

his death bed. when urged by the mis- sionary and his favorite wife to a death-bed repentance and told that in order to do so he must first forgive his enemies, proudly lifted his dying head and exclaimed, T have no enemies; I have eaten them all," appeals to a slumbering chord in us even yet. While certain most intelligent people to-day would indignantly resent the ac- cusation of reyerting to such days and ideas they will vigorously denounce the eating of pork as an unholy think on the ground that he who eats pork thinks pork and the more orthodox of them will even declare that, while Scripture records that the devils en- tered into ewine, we have no assurance that they ever came out of them.-Mc- Clure's Magazine.

SNARES OF THE BREAKFAST
 TABLE.

Some diet delusions are of most mod ern date, like the fad which is now de- wasting our breakfast tables, while others are of most respectable anti quity, Among the latter is that very ancient survival. the notion that parti- cular food are good" for particular things or effects. This is an almost direct descendant of the notion, held withing greater or less unanimity by nearly all savage and barbarous tribes, that the flesh or visca of birds and animals possessing particular qualities will be likely to produce the same qualities inthose who eat them. Thus hero used to banquet on nightingale tongues in the hope of improving his voice, and the Ojibwa cut out and de- voured the heart of the bear, the liver of the buffalo, etc. believing that the strength and courage of these animals would therby be transferred to himself. It is probable that the most grewsome of ancestral -cannabalisn-was largely due to the same belief, although of course, in Neanderthal days primi- tive man would have no more hesi- tancy about eating his enemy after he had killed him than he would in de- vouring bear or a deer. In fact, the early converts of the missionaries in the South Sea Isands referred to their favorite dish as "ong pig Every kndwn race has at some time been can nibal
 There certainly was a child-like logi- cality and naivete about the conception of the Maori warrior who rounded and completed his conquest of his enemy by eating him afterward and thus ac- qpiring all the vigor and energy which had been wont to oppose him. The sto- ! ry told of the old Maori chief, who upor

 The sailing time from New York to Coatzacoalcos, the Atlantic terminal port will be six or seven days, two less than to Colon, the Atlantic port of the Panama Railroad. Cargo from a vessel landing at Coatzacoaleos, say of 10000 tons, can be aboard another ves- sel in the harbor of Salina Cruz in four days
 In an emergency the transhipment could be accomplished ir1- thirty-six hours. The same freight could not be transferred across the Isthmus of Pan- anna in less than three weeks, possibly longer. At Salina Cruz, the Pacific port, the vessel is two days nearer San Francisco than it would be at Pana- ma. This serves to illustrate what the new rout means in saving time.

WILD DOG AND TAME WOLF.
Stories of Animal Life From a Lake
 Superior Lumber Camp.

Stories Of Animal Life From a Lake
 Superior Lumber Camp. One Sunday not long ago a man was seen leading a full grown timber wolf on the streets here. He was so tame that you could pat him and he seemed as friendly as dog. In speaking of him the owner said he had caught three of them when pups and had sold the other two and that they were as tame as this one. The one he had was dog wolf and his coat was as fine as a collie's,
 Yesterday friend and patient whom I know to be thoroughly reliable re- lated the following as having happened at his lumber camp the past winter, sixty miles north of here on Lake Superior;
 Wolves are numerous there and have given them d great deal of trouble. A man named Murphy, who ran a tie camp owned a St. Bernard dog which joined the wolf pack and had large female wolf as companion. The dog used to come to the camp and the camp boss tried every way to get shot at the wolf. He used to throw out bones for the dog, but the wolf would not show herself.
 The dog. however. used to carry off what he could not eat and used to howl and act much as the wolves did Lind berg owned a big sixty pound bull ter rier. One day he and the St. Bernard got to fighting near the camp, and the noise called the men out. It was just ! at break of day. The bull terrier was getting the best of it when the female wolf ran out and helped the St. Ber- nard and nearly cut the bull terrier to pieces.
 When they broke camp last week the dog had been away again, and they left him, they supposed, with the pack Duluth . correspondence Forest and Stream.
