A Bug who had been Ill nearly all win
ter with q pulmonary trouble had erawled
out of his house one spring day to get the
benefit Of the sunshine when he found
himself growing faint. At that moment
the Deer came along and was asked to
stop and render aid. He replied that he
had an important engagement to keep,
and passed on. He was followed by the

SheriSan's Double MarriaQe.

It was in 1897 that the Grctna Green marriages were made illegal. A glance at it's registers may yet inspire the novelist of the future. One entry will be sure to puzzle. Twice within few days occurs the record of the marriage of Richard Brinsley Sheridan to Miss Grant There was only one k. E. S., only one bride for the same gentleman. The double entries are not the result of any blunder OH the part of tue Rev. Mr. Vulcan. The parties were really twice married at Gretna Green.

The Buzzard In El!cht,

There can be no doubt that the bllz- gard is the living aerOplane in pcrtec- tion. It cannot sail against the wind except as other birds do-by sheer pow CT of moving wings-but it can sail at amazing speed before the wind. at right angles to the wind and can sail within a few points of the wind.
 When there is no wind it's flight is clumsy-2ot much of an Improvement on the flying of hen. Authors are wont to describe the buzzard as sail ing in the sky on days when the earth perspires beneath sultry, still atmosphere. But it will also be re- membered that these authors invari- ably describe the buzzard as being "a speck in the brassy heavens" As a matter of fact, that is just the point of the buzzards aerial knowledge. When there is no breeze close to the earth 1t is always to bc observed roost- ing in q tree or fyin@ labo-iously into the zenith until it finds an upper crr- rent, where it can navigate without la bor.-New York Times.

Tho Great White Shark.

The man eating fish pc: excellence Is the great white shark. It is otherwise known by the name of man cater Oc- casionaily specimens are seen on both coasts of the United States, though it's more customary habitat is in tropical waters This frightful creature attains length of nearly forty feet, and 1t Is able to swallow q man whole. This fact is proved by an experiment which sailors are fond of making when such a shark Is captured. The skull being preserved, they amuse themselves by crawling one after another through the distended jaws. It would be unsafe to do this, however, when the head has been freshly cut off, because under such conditions the jaws will snap together flercely for some time afterward if anything is placed between them. The skull of big shark. by the way, is al- ways salable owing to the demand by museums and curiosity hunters. A young sea lion weighing a hundred pounds has been found in the stomach of white shark.

Incidental Music.

One afternoon a couple from an ad- joining town presented themselves to 6 Boston divine and asked to be mar- ried just as he was about to enter the pulpit to conduct an afternoon service. The minister replied that he regretted that he could not at that moment com- ply with their wish, but that immedi- ately upon the conclusion of the serv- ice he would take pleasure in perform ing the ceremony. The lovers after demurring seated themselves ill the rear of the church. When the minister had finished the service he made the following announcement: ''The parties who are to be joined in matrimony will present themselves at the chancel immediately after the singing of hymn 415, Mistaken Souls That Dream of Heaven!

A man was coming up from Chun- chen province with sum of money which had been subscribed for the pay ment of the public debt. He was met by robbers, who took the money and started away. He called after them that the money was subscription to the fund for the raising of the debt, whereupon they came back and handed him the money and begged his pardon for their mistake, and they gave him 10 yen extra as contribution on their own part. He asked their names to publish in the papers, but they said they did not want to obtain notoriety in that way and declined, but said they were glad to pay something toward helping the country .K orean News.

Why Shells Fly Straiuht.

Many people wonder why the conc shaped projectiles in their flight through the air do not wabble, but drive straight ahead. This Is easily explained. Round the bottom of the shell is narrow band of copper which the projectile. Being made of soft metal. this band is cut by the steel rifling of the gun on the shock of ex. plosion. This action causes the shell to revolve with lightning rapidity. with the result that it keeps steady during its flight through the air. London Mail

It was a colloquy at a north side butchers shop. Oh said the littlt woman, "that's an awful big bone i' that small steak. I don't like to have to pay for all bone.'

Big Jumps by Rabbits.

How fast do hares and rabbits run Perhaps you have wondered while ou; gunning and watched the elusive ami mals speeding away. According to J G. Millais, the length of hare's stride Is about four feet, while that of a rab bit Is about two feet. Under condi. tions of fear the hare is said to leap ten to twelve feet. some authorities claiming that 1t can jump ditches ten to twenty five feet in width. A hare can jump upward perpendicularly five feet. Rabbits can make leaps of six O. seven feet horizontally, but cannot jump higher than three feet When compelled to do so, 1t is said rabbits can swim as we'll as dogs.-Philadel- phia North American.

Did you ever notice a jeweler wear ing his magnifying glass in one eye? 1t looks easy, but try 1t. The inexperi- enced citizen who tries to look at some thing with such q glass Is sure to close one eye He can't look at the magnified object with the other eye opened. as can the jeweler.

Some Jetty News-Colonel w. S
Roessler, the head of the government
representatives in all matters apper.
tanning to the Columbia river jetties,
was in the city yesterday, on his
way back to the metropolis, after a
visit to the jetty to ascertain the ex-
tent of the damage inflicted here by
he recen gales. Colonel Roessler in
formed a reporter Of the Astorian that
the loss to the work was merely NOM
inal, the worst of 1t having fallen
upon the old and abandoned spurs,
and partly upon the extreme seaward
end, which was already crippled by
the previous seasons entertainments
and was quite beyond the scope OF
operations as lately carried on. Con-
sidering the severity of the protracted
gales to which the work had been
subjected this winter, the inference
from his statement was that the dam
age had been far less than he ex-
pected to find it.

5owled a Bowl-A japanese waiter
In a local restaurant was up before
Police Judge Anderson yesterday. Sat
urday night white man, whose
name is suppressed, got into a wordy
war with the Oriental over meal.
This led to his striking the Japanese,
who quickly overcame his antagonist
and then returned to his work, think
ing the affair well over-not so his
doughty opponent. He stepped for
ward and siezed sugar bowl. With
careful aim and considerable force,
he sent the big sweet missile at the
other There might have followed a
sad incident for the Jap, but fortu-
nately he saw the act and lodged in
time. The bowl sailed the length Of
the room, leaving sugar and destruc-
ton In it's wake, and brought up with
a crash against wall. The white
man made an unostentatious and rapid
Id movement for the entrance but was
overtaken outside and heartily drubbed.
His cries for police attracted the at
tention of an officer, who took both
parties in custody, The japanese was
fined $40. The other case will come
up today.
