The Foot of a Horse,

The foot of horse is one of the mos,
ingenious and uneXampled pieces of
mechanism in animal structure. The
hoof contains a series of vertical and
thin laminae Of horn, amounting to
about 800 and forming complete lin
ing to it. In this are fitted as many
laminae belonging to the coffin bone,
while both sets are elastic and adher-
ent. The edge of quire of paper, in
serted leaf by leaf into another, will
convey sufficient idea Of the arrange
ment. Thus the weight of the animal
is supported by as many elastic springs
as there are laminae in all the feet,
amounting to about 1000, distributed
in the most secure manner, since every
spring is acted on in an oblique direc-
ton

When noble act is done, perchance

when Leonidas and his 800 martyrs
consume one day in dying and the sun

once in the steep defile of Thermopy-
lac; when Arnold Winkelried, in the
high Alps, under the shadow of the

A SMART ENGLlSHMAN.
The Story He Told of His Experience
In the States"

The Story He Told of His Experiences
In "the States"
\ tall. practical Engllshman went over
TO the States" The other day from
London. He took lodgings at an inn in
small village, which shall be name
less. He had dinner. and among those
who sat at the table with him was the
waiting maid. whom he designated as
servant" but he received an indig-
nant correction from the landlord.
We call our servants. sir. helps.
They are not oppressed; they are not
Russian serfs."
"All right said the Britisher; Il
shall remember"
And he did. for in the morning he
awoke the whole house by calling out
at the top of his voice. which was like
the tearing of a strong rag:
Help. help, Water. water-'
In an instant every person equal to
the task rushed into his room with a
pail of water
Il am much obliged TO you, | am
sure" he said, but | don't want so
much water. you know. only want
enough 10 shave with"
SHAVE with said the landlord
What did you mean by calling: Help.
Water? We thought the house was
afire."
"You told me to call the servant
help and did. Did you think |
would cry Water" when l meant fire.
The explanation. it would seem. was
satisfactory. and he can call the serv-
ants servants" as much as he likes at
that place now.-London Answers.

The Lancer Snake,

There is snake called the lancer
which lives In South America and is
very ready with its fangs. 1t is n
small. brown. Insignificant beast. but
its bite induces sort of imaginary
swelling all over the victims body
He feels as II every inch of him were
being strained TO breaking point, and
the agony which results is too awful
for words. Generally, however. the
excess of pain drives the bitten man
mad before very long. and in four
hours he dies-a senseless imbecile.

SENATE OF LILLIPUT.
Tho Way DR.. Johnson Outwitted the
House of Commons

Parliamentary bodies We're long a
great stronghold of resistance to the
press. Reporters were strictly barred
from them, and reports of their pro
ceedings We're sternly punished 1t
was among the triumphs for the right
and for common sense which FRANKLIN
achieved that he caused the chamber
OF the provincial assembly of Pennsyl-
vania to be thrown open to publicity
Nevertheless no reports were allowed
OF either the Continental congress or
the constitutional convention.
Dr. Johnson's violation of the cher.
ished privacy of the British house Of
commons is classic story. He report
cd its debates without entering its 81
cred precincts. and in order to escape
the severe penalties of the law he re-
ported them without mentioning the
body or any of its members by name
Setting up an imaginary senate of
Lilltput' and giving fictitious names to
the leading members of parliament. he
edihed for years the readers of the
journal which then boasted the lar
gest circulation" in England
Receiving few scanty notes of what
was going on at Westminster, he elab-
GRATED them into brilliant spread He
was, indeed, the ilustrious founder of
the immortal craft of rewriters. His
discerning readers came to know not
only that the senate of Lilliput was the
house of commons, but that "Blefscu"
stood for France and "Mildendo'' fol
London; that "sprugs" meant pounds.
that 'Nardac" was the Duke of New
castle, and SO on What his notes lack
ed his lima gination readily supplied
Never was the eloquence of parlia-
ment more brilliant than in Johnson's
reports of the debates, in which, he adj
mitted, he took care that the Wing
dogs got the worst of it, although Pitt
himself must have felt mollified when
he read the wonderful outburst attrib-
uted TO him by Johnson on ''the afro
clous crime of being young man" 1t
Is the best remembered of all Pitts
speeches, and 1t was written by John
son in a garret in Exeter street.

Desperate Democrats,

Not so much is now being said about
the Republican panic, as the Democrats
have realized that the assertion was
bound to act MS n boomerang. II has
been fact for years that the Demo-
cratic party has had no hope of sue
cess except through adversely. Con
tlnued prosperity meant continued de-
feat. and to have any chance whatever
of success 1t was necessary for them
TO have continued adversely in bust
ness circles, reduction OF wages and
n general commercial slump all around.
II was realized that 1t would not be
well TO go before the people In the com
Ing campaign with this as their only
issue. MS the Republicans have prom
ised to revise the tarif at an early
day. and as the Democrats themselves
claim that the presidents policies are
largely Democratic policies 1t was seen
that MIR. Bryan and his leaders would
really have no argument 10 present to
the people and would have no issues
which were worth putting forth. so the
old cry OF the trusts has been revived.
and an effort will be made to connect
the tariff with every trust. whether
good or bad, and to lay the blame for
any Objectionable feature In the com.
mercial world TO Republican legisla-
tlon. 1t Is n forlorn hope and is doom
cd to defeat long before nominations
are made.

HAMPToN's WATER SUPPLY.
Council Takes Steps to Insure Purity
and Suggests Boiling.


and Suggests Boiling
Special to Zines Republican.
Hampton. March 4.-The city council
held a special meeting Monday even
ing to consider the matter of the pur-
itv or the impurity of our city water
supply.
The two recent cases OF typhoid
fever in the same neigllborhood one at
the home of Major c. W. Bowtin. and
the other case. Mrs. r. +. r. Hudson.
it is supposed, grew into the SUPPOSE
ton that the city water supply was
contaminated. Samples of the water
were sent to the state chemist at Des
Moines for analysis. and the reply is
said to be that the water differs but
little. if any. from the ordinarily whole
some article. II seems that the
chloride OF sodium present in
the water is the suspicious feat.
ure. not so much. however. as to it -
itself being injurious. but the source
of the chloride is the dangerous feat
ure.
There are three sources OF supply
here--the deep we'll. about 1.S00 feet in
depth shallow Well. and a reservoir.
The pump is raising water in the deep
well about $50 feet to get 1t 10 the
surface at the pumping station Then
it is forced by the same pumps about
three fourths of a mile and around at
least two square corners. to the stand-
pipe at the city park Add to this the
fact that the surface of the ground at
the standpipe is about forty-ffve feet
above the pump and that the standpipe
is ITO feet high. and it can readily be
seen that the pump is doing no small
amount OF work For the relieving OF
the pump Of a part of this work, a por-
ton of the water. 1t is understood, has
been drawn from the shallow we'll ana
the reservoir. If there is any contain
nation. 1t is quite probable that 1T
comes from one or both of these
sources.
II is understood that the council de-
cided to construct reservoir near the
station as an outlet for the pump at
the we'll. and to install an auxiliary
pump to force the water from this
reservoir up town. This done. the
supply can be drawn from the deep
we'll where there is no question OF It's
purity. using the other sources only
i'm case of fire or other extreme emef-
gencies.
The board of health has given no.
tice to the public to boil the water
intended for drinking purposes. and II
is hoped that this precaution may pre-
vent any serious results from its use.

stockers and Feeders.

Steady prices We're paid for the bulk
of the stockers and feeders that ar
rived yesterday. Local traders had a
pretty good supply on hand and while
they bought the fresh receipts quite
readily, there was no disposition to pay
any higher rates. Demand from the
country has been rather disappointing
for the past two weeks. but shows some
signs of improving. Order buyers say
they have difficulty in getting the kind
of stock they want. Good welghty
steers are sought for and these are so
completely bought up by killers that
there is not much chance for the feeder
man. THE supply yesterday consisted
largely of 600 to 100-lb stockers. which
sell mainly ut s3.50d4.2l. The demand
calls for more of the 500 TO 900-lb
steers than are coming. and good
many of the 000-lb cattle could BE-
sold if they We're available. Yesterday
some hay-fed cattle from Montana sold
TO feeders at s4.35 a 40. They had the
weight but lacked the necessary quail
