BROKE THE WILDCATS BACK.
Philadelphia Man Victorious In Hand
to-Hand Combat.

Unarmed and alone. Thomas Dyke
was attacked by wildcat on Locust
mountain, south OF Mount Carmel, Pa.
He had been in Ashland and started
to drive home. His horse stepped on
a nail and he put the animal in a sta
BILE.
Then he started to walk home and
was on the mountain when the cries
of wildcat alarmed him. A few
minutes later he saw the beast ten
feet in front of him. The animal
finally sprang. He jumped aside and
as the body of the cat struck the road
he leaped upon It. For several min
utes the fight between the wild ami
NAL and the man went on. At length
by quick swing he broke the ami
mails back.
A physician dressed the several
deep scratches on his face and hands,
but otherwise he was uniniured.

Family Lives Upon YoIks of Eaus.

Kansas City-A negro family in
this city lives mostly upon the yolks
of eggs which cost 1t nothing. The
head of this family is a porter in a
saloon where great many gin fzzes
are sold. In making gin fizz only
the white of the egg is used and the
yolk Is thrown away. This porter saw
all these egg yolks going TO waste.
with the consent of the saloonkeeper
ne provided small tin bucket and
now the bartenders put the discarded
egg yolks into it. When the porter
goes home each night he carries the
egg yolks with him. Often he has
from four to eight dozen of them.
1--WE eat 'em fried, boiled, poached,
scrambled and in custards." he said.
Don't never have to buy no meat in

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of Its great
er strength thar other makes.

GIANT TURTLES FOR NEW YORK.
Aquarium Obtains Five Large AIIiga.
tor Snappers.

New York.-The aquarium has late
ly received from New Orleans five big
swapping turtles OF the species com
monty known as giant snappers. or
alligator snappers (Macrociemmys
temmincki). biggest of all fresh water
turtles. The giant snapper is peculiar
to the region OF the lower Mississippi
river.
These five big snappers average
about rs pounds in weight. The
largest OF them weighs So pounds and
measures four feet two inches in
length from tip to tip.
The giant snapper has a long tall
and disproportionately big head 1t
Is an ugly looking creature. and as
dangerous. in fact. as 1t is ugly in ap-
pearance. for it has extremely power
full jaws. A big snapper OF this kind
could break mans leg or bite a
broom handle in two; such snapper
has been known to bite a piece out
of an inch plank.
The giant snapper subsists largely
on fish and young ducks. 1t is itself
edible.
There Is in the aquarium mounted
specimen of this species that weighed
LOG pounds and measures four feet
seven inches in length. In the Ma
tional museum at Washington there is
mounted specimen of the giant snap
per which weighed 1855 pounds. its
length being five feet four inches.
Recently added to the aquarium's
exhibits are IA sea horses. taken off
Atlantic City, the two largest of them
being each nearly six inches in length.
which is pretty large for the sea
horse OF these waters.
Small as 1t is. and often as it may
be seen, the sea horse is still likely to
appear as one of the most remark
able of living things. There are al
ways people looking in at the aquari-
um's sea horse tank.

One Peril of RaIloonine..

One of the strange experiences OF
a balloonist is that of falling into "a
hole in the air." which Mr.. Rolker re-
ports as follows: so you continue
sailing. enjoying the present with
little thought of the startling sur
prises that may be before you. Ahead
of you, unseen, may be what the bal
locnist calls hole in the air. re-
sembling the vortex of a maelstrom.
and down this you may literally fall
at rate which is terrifying until, by
sacrificing two or three bagfuls of
sand at once, your pilot checks your
downward flight But these holes
are scarce, and, as rule, the atmos-
phere is of uniform carrying power. "

ANCIENT INDIAN WRITINGS.
Discovery Of Parchments Containing
Historic and Tribal Facts.

Kansas City.-A local newspaper
man at Otonga. Okla, made a very
lucky find the other day by acci-
dentally learning about an old Indian
history. The details are written out
on old parchment paper and proved to
be an accurate history OF the Chey-
enne and Arapahoe Indians. 1t gives
an account of their religious rites and
beliefs along with the traditions of
the tribes. 1t deals freely with the
tribal government for over 100 years
and is very extensive in covering the
relations with the United States gov
ernment.
Many important fights with troops
and a description of the burying
grounds where some officers were in
tered are among the things. 1t was
originally written in Indian language
and has been translated by George
Bent, an old-time Indian scout and
plainsman.
The affairs of several other Indian
tribes who have been affiliated with
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes are
dealt with in the history.
Among other things dealt with is
the history of the sacred arrows that
were stolen by the Pawnee Indians
and secured only recently by the
Cheyennes by exchanging several
hundred ponies.
The translation will be put into
shape and published In some news
paper or magazine.

VISION SHOWED SON DEAD.
Italian Mothers Dream Followed by
Discovery of Body.

A strange case of telepathy in con-
nection with a murder is arousing
much interest in Milan, Italy. A wo-
man named Lazzaroni awoke sudden
ly at three o'clock the other morning
and calling her son John, who lives
in her house, told him that his
younger brother, Leopold, living in
the outskirts of the town, was dead
The mother was deeply affected,
but John tried to comfort her by as
cribing her fears to a bad dream. At
dawn, however, Leopold Lazzcroni. a
handsome and strong young man, the
owner of a dairy, was found dead at
spot some distance from his dwell
ling. After having niue an examina.
ton of the body. the doctors affirmed
that Leopold had been murdered ac-
tually at three o'clock in the morn
ing.
The next day the culprits we're ar
rested.
The facts of the mothers vision.
which have been duly authenticated,
are the subject of endless discussion.

New Martinsville, w. Va.-A party
of hunters were returning from. a
trip in Pocahontas county, when, as
the train was nearing Toberlick, the
sudden approach of a deer caused the

down the mountain side and jump the
track just in front of the engine. BY
the time number of the hunters on
the train had got their guns the deer
had plunged across the Greenbrier
