SURPRISE FOR ALL CONCERNED.
convivial Russian Party Broke Up In
Some Disorder.

AS all the world knows, queer things
happen in the land Of the czar. There
are a grand duke and grand duchess
IN ST. Petersburg who do not refer IN
private conversation to an incident in
which ther both figured. 4 theatrica!
company arrived in the Russian cap.
ital from Berlin. The leading lady
was pretty and the tenor was an
Adonis. The grand duke and the
grand duchess enjoyed the first per.
formance very much indeed. The next
afternoon the grand duke had en en-
gagement and went alone to a first
class cafe in the city, where he was
joined by the leading lady he had
seen the night before. The cafe is so
arranged that it has a number of
small rooms facing a central hall, at
the top OF which a band discourses
sweet music. The grand duke found
the actress beautiful, but lacking in
wit. He was having stupid time and
enV1ed the occupants of the next room.
who were shrieking with merriment.
u know what we'll do" his high.
ness finally said to his companion
Lets go into the next room. A party
OF four ought to be congenial"
But they may object" the actress
suggested.
"Oh. no, they won't / am the grand
duke"
The couple walked into the next
room.
Tableau.
To the horror OF the grand duke,
there was the grand duchess sitting at
table with the tenor of the company
to which the actress belonged. The
tenor looked at the actress with as
much amazement as the grand duke
and grand duchess did at each other.
Shouting at the grand duke that he had
lnsulted his wife (for this was the re.
iation he had with the woman) he
rushed at him, and for q few minutes
thare was a great miXup in the little
loom. The attendants hurried to the
scene and eDarated the combatants.
The tenor drove away with his wife
and the grand duke took the grand
duchess TO their palace
The next day the theatrical com.
pany lacked two Of its principals. The
tenor and his wife had heen given
passports early in the morning and
escorted to the train by the police.

trousers pocket and found only a
crumpled two-dollar bill, but it was
all he had left after the evenings enter

FOREST NOT ALWAYS SILENT
Prof. Garner Authority for Assertion
That Wild Animals Converse.

The chatter of monkeys is real
chatter and conversation, some folks
say Prof. r. l.. Garner, who has spent
the greater part of several years in
the forests of Africa studying the Ian
guageS OF Monkeys and other animals
says silence is not an absolute ele-
ment in the safety Of wild animal life
wild animals are more taciturn than
domestic animals, as also are the wild
tribes Of human beings. This he at.

and nomadic habits. Tho carnivora
the only natural enemies which other
animals have any cause TO fear
through the sound Of their voices, de-
pend almost entirely upon the sense
OF smell in pursuing their game, every
species having it's peculiar odor. Also
the carnivora generally hunt at night
seizing their prey while asleep. The
animals which have the fewest rea.
sons to fear betrayal by their voices
are by nature the most silent. During
Prof. Gamers three years residence
In the jungle he found that the chin
panzee frequently breaks the silence
Of the forest by answering the cries
of the various other animals. The
gorilla is less loquacious, but there
are times when he ignores all danger
Of betrayal and gives vent to a deluge
of speech. Other monkey species are
persistent takers, and can be heard at
almost any hour. The trumpeting of
the elephant is common at night, and

DANGERS OF sEDENTARY LIFE.
English Physician Points Out Positive
Necessity for ExertIon.

A very good illustration of the dan.

given by Sir William Grove, who OBJ.

Witnessed this effect myself, and that
is the reason why choose the rabbit
as an example. An estate in Somer-
setshire, which once took temporari.
ly, was on the slope Of the Mendip
hills. The rabbits on one part Of It,
viz, that on the hillside, we.e in per-
feet condition, not too fat, nor too
thin, sleek, active and vigorous and
yielding to their antagonists, my fam.
lily, excellent food. Those in the val.
ley, where the pasturage was rich and
luxuriant, were all diseased, most of
them unfit for human food, and many
lying dead on the fields. They had
not to struggle for life, their short
life was miserable, and their death
early; they wanted the sweet uses OF
adversity--that is. Of antagonism."

USED POISON OF RATrlEsNAKE.
Preparation That Made War Arrows of
Cherokee Indians Deadly.

An old Cherokee Indian recently
gave away the secret how the Indians
OIL olden times used to poison their ar
row heads for war purposes Or for
Killing bears, according to the Denver
Field and Farm. They took a fresh
deer liver, fastened it to a long pole,
ana then went to certain places where
they knew they would find rattle
snakes in abundance. About midday
the rattlers are all out of their dens
cohed up In the cooking sun. The
DUCKS would poke the first rattler
they found with the liver on the long
pole. A rattler. unlike common snakes
always Shows fight in preference to
escaping. The snake would thus re-.
peatedly strike at the liver with it's.
fangs until its poison was all used Gp
whereupon 1t would quit striking and
try slowly to move on. The bucks
would then hunt up another rattler
ana repeat the performance, keeping
up the work until the liver was we'll
soaked with snake poison. Then the
pole was carried home and fastened
somewhere In an upward position until
the liver became as dry as a bone.
Inc liver was then pounded to a fine
powder and placed in buckskin bag
10 De used as needed for their arrows
lhls powder would stick like glue to
any moistened surface and was death
10 any creature which 1t entered on
arrows.

1t has been considered unlucky 10 be
married In May ever since the days Of
Ovid. and those people who have spent
their time in looking up roots and
reasons have given what they consider
to be the origin Of the superstition as
follows:
In ancient Rome there was held i'll
May a festival called the Lemuria. or
feast Of the Lemures. which was a
ceremony in honor Of the speeches of
departed souls. 1t became with the
Romans what we should call bad
FORM to have matrimonial feasts at
the season of n solemn ritual being no
doubt thought to be an insult to the
dead TO marry at such a time. From
this number of stories grew of the
revenge made by the outraged ghosts
upon those who dared to disregard
them, and II anything unfortunate hap
pened 10 a couple who had been mar
rIed In May II would. OF course. have
been put down to retribution. SO the
tradition Of III luck arose. and it's in
auence has lasted ever since. even to
our time. - 80
