A Fatal Austrian FLAG.

Once there was an epidemic Of plague
at Odessa, in Russia, which lasted
more than a year. 1t had most re-
markable origin, being due to fatal
flag An Austrian vessel arrived at
Odessa, bringing one of the crew who
had died during the voyage. The sail
or was duly inferred in the Catholic
cemetery at the port, and at the flu
neral the Austrian flag was carried by
two seamen. On their way back to
the vessel the men entered great
number of saloons and laid down the
flag while drinking. A very short
time afterward the sailors who had
carried the flag died, and before long
it was found that people were ill in
all the houses where the men had call
ed with the fatal flag. Soon the plague
spread throughout Odessa, filling all
with terror and claiming frightful
toll There is no doubt that the flag
contained the plague bacilli in the
folds and so spread the disease

Leigh Lynch while he lived was
happy man. In the first place, he was
the husband of lovely and gentle Anna
Teresa Berger, the belle of the bell
ringers in her girlhood secondly, he
had the years long friendship and in
innate companionship of Eugene Field;
thirdly, he was the father of family
of children in whom was centered his
unselfish hope. He used to carry his
business cares and pleasures home,
where he was always sure Of ready
and generous sympathy. For several
years he was treasurer of the Union
Square theater in New York. One
evening at dinner, in the presence Of

receipts of the week had risen to an
unprecedented height. The next day

Pipes and the Lips.

The constant habit Of smoking pipes
has a perceptible effect upon the face.
The pressure Of the lips to hold the
pipe in position increases the curva-
ture of The lips round the stem, and
the, muscles become more rigid here
than in other parts. Thus the lips at
certain point become stronger, and the
pipe is unconsciously held in the same
habitual position. After long continu-
alton Of the habit small circular wrin
kles form parallel with the curvature
of the lips around the stem. These are
crossed by finer lines caused by the
pressure Of the lips to retain the stem
in position In the case of old men
who have smoked pipe for years the
effect upon the lips is very marked,
not only altering the form of the lips.
but of the one entire side of the face,
causing the wrinkles that are the re-
suit of age to deepen and instead Of

wrinkles to change their course so as
to radiate from the part of the mouth
where the pipe is habitually carried.
Furthermore, one or both lips often
protrude, just like the lips of people
who used to suck their thumbs when

Changes Made in Their Salaries.

At the regular January session of the
county board, several changes we're made
in the salaries of county officers. The
change in salaries does not, however, go
into effect until after the next election.
The salary of the sheriff was increased
from $1,000 to $500 and is allowed
$500 per annum for the board of pris-
oners, but he is cut off from all fees and
must pay his own expenses in taking
prisoners to Waupun and the insane to
asylums. AS the value of the fees in the
sheriff's office is placed at ST 900 or more,
depreciation of $500 year is made by
the new deal. The county treasurer's
income has been cut from 1900 to
ST. 200, while the county CLERK was raised
from 81 200 to S1,275. The salary of the
deputy in the registers office was raised
from $500 to $500, likewise the salary of
the deputy In the county clerks Office is
raised 800 The salary of the deputy
in the clerk Of the court is reduced from
S720 to $780,

FEEDING ZOO ANIMALS.

There is part of the Zoo that the
public is not allowed to visit. 1t
| may surprise many to know that
| there exists in an out-of-the-way COR
| ner of the gardens an inclOsed space
where horses are examined, and often
kept for some little previous to being
slaughtered. Disease cannot be de-
the live animal, and were carcasses
bought the possibility of the car
nivora becoming infected would not
be nearly so remote as it is now.
The only case in which the Zoo re-
ceives a carcass is where a horse,
having met with an accident in the
street, has to be slaughtered at once.
If it has a healthy record the Zoo
authorities do not, refuse it.
Not only in this way is much care
exercised in the choice of horseflesh,
but when carcass is cut up 1t is
divided in such a way to insure that
in each piece given to the animals
there Is a bone. Otherwise the lions,
tigers and other big carnivora would
swallow the piece whole. which would
be bad even for their iron diges-
lions. The presence of the bone COM
pels them to take bites at the flesh,
which they pick from the bone with
their claws and teeth, licking the
bone afterward with their sand
papery tongues until the surface
shines.
For the smaller carnivora, such as
polecats and weasels, and for the
raptorial birds. horseflesh is some
what too coarse and pungent, SO they
are fed for the most part on the
heads and necks of chickens. These
parts are selected also because of

HOUSE IN THE GARDEN.

mamma and papa began to rack their

Aunt May put the idea into Mrs.
