Memory of Animals.

'sThe elephants memory is proven
bial," said F. Martin Duncan, f. z. s.,
"but that of the other beasts Of the
jungle is hardly less noteworthy. tt
gers in captivity always remember a
kindness and recognize a friend even
after the lapse Of months. Lions which
have been in geological garden for
years have also been known to show
signs of abject fear when visited by
native hunters from the country
where they had their early home."-

Dangerous Fakes.
Tricks to Introduce Alum Baking
Powders which should be Elk
posed.

There has recently been attempted
at some OF our grocery stores, and
also at dwelling houses. by agents
who are trying to sell alum baking
pow ders. what the exhibitors call a
baking powder test. They pretend
to show by some boiling test that
pure cream of tartar baking powders
contain something which every
women of intelligence knows they
do not.
1t does not need a chemist to ex-
pose this trick. Cream of tartar,
which is the chief constituent of the
best and most wholesome baking
powder, is originally clear, white
crystal. This is ground into fine,
creamy -four, in which form, mixed
with baking soda, it is present in
the baking powder. Cream of tar
tar, when mixed with water and
boiled, simply returns to it crystal
line form, and that is all there is to
the so-called test.
The matter of special interest to
the public is to know what these
people offer in place of cream of tar
tar powders OF well-known purity
and established reputation against
which these ISLANDERS are directed.
They are Offering a baking powder
which official analyses have repeat
edly shown is made from alum, a
drug so we'll recognized by physicians
and scientists as injurious to health
that in many countries it's use in
bread is entirely prohibited So
cheap and inferior are the ingre-
dents of this powder that it costs
to make less than three cents a
pound. No prudent housewife will
knowingly put such stuff as this into
her food.

CAVE HOUSES.
France Is Dotted All Over With These
Curious Habitations.

"There are no fewer than 100000
cave dwellers in France" writes
traveller. whether you travel north,
south, east or west you find these Gu
rious limitations of the homes Of prim-
tive man. They stretch for fully sew
enty miles along the valley Of the
Loire, from Blois to Saumur, and as
the train proceeds you can catch
glimpse from time to time of their pic
turesque entrances, surrounded by
flowers and verdure. AS likely as not
you will see the inhabitants standing
or sitting in front of their mysterious
looking caverns. and unless you have
learned the country you will be in
clined to imagine that they possess
some Of the characteristics of the
troglOdytes of old and that their
homes are mere dens. Not so, as you
will find on visiting them.
'"They are nearly all well to do peas

vineyards that deck the slopes on all
sides, and their habitations are, as

remarkably cool in summer without
being in the least damp, while in win
ter they can be warmed much more
easily and better than ordinary apart
ments. The health of the modern
troglodyte is, as a rule, excellent, and
1t is not uncommon to find centena-
rians among them. This, however, is
by no means surprising when we con-
slider that their homes are not only
healthful to live in, but are also COM
fortably furnished and fitted up.
"In the majority of cases these rock
houses were not eXcavated for the spe-
cial purpose of being Inhabited, but
with the object of obtaining stone for
the building of houses. At Rochecor-
bon there is rock dwelling carved
out Of a single block of stone, and the
ingenious owner, in addition to making
a two story villa therefrom, has pro-
vided himself with a roof garden,
from which fine view of the valley
can be obtained. A similar house ex-
lists in Bourre. in which locality the
disused quarrfes are said to date back
to the days of the Romans"

The Eternal Feminine.

A photographer was called upon not
long ago to make some pictures of an
old lady of seventy years or so, but of
surprising agility and quickness of per-
ception. The picture man was there

no words of address could induce the
old lady to speak until after the opera

fingers into her mouth, whence she
withdrew several wads of paper.

Murphy, who is a man weighing EOS
pounds became violently insane while
engaged at his regular occupation Of
killing pigs at the North Packing and
Provision company's plant at Somer-
vile, and in his mad lust for blood
drove more than 300 employees from
the seven floors Of the building. He
was finally overpowered and disarmed
in a fierce struggle after he had stab

In a padded cell at the SomeTville
police station Murphy allowed no one
to approach him and after hours of

morning he will be given hearing in
the Soperville police court and will

Washington, June e-Having acted
upon most of the vexed problems in
the cotton schedule during the past
week, the senate expects to complete
this schedule on Monday or Tuesday
at the latest. This will bring the
senate face to face with the Woolen
schedule, which is practically re-
enactment of a1e Dingley rates, but
which, nevertheless. will be fought by
the progressive republicans" aided
by the democratic senators.
AS night sessions will be held
throughout the week, the indications
point to a completion of the woolen
schedule by Thursday or Friday.
No programme has been announced
as to the schedules to be taken up
next week, but it Is probable that some
work will be done upon the free list.
A meeting of the finance committee
has been called for nine O'Clock Mon
day and at that time the policy of
the senate, so far as the committee
Is concerned, will be outlined A date
will be fixed, also for reporting

FLORIDA NEGRO LYNcHED
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.
Strung Up by Mob to a Tree Within
Jail Enclosure.

Tallahassee, Fla, June 6.-Dangiing
from a limb OF a tree in the county
jailyard and within sight OF the dome
of the Florida state capitol, the lifeless
body of Maik Morris, a negro, met the
gaze of the people OF this city this
morning. Condemned to death for the
murder Of William Langston, late sher-
if Of this county. the negro would have
within a few weeks legally paid the
penalty Of the crime with his life. A
mob of not more than fifteen men
about o'clock this morning dragged
Morris from his cell and strung him
up to a tree within the sail enclosure
The masked band then emptied a round
of cartridges into the corpse and rode
away unmolested. When the mob ar
rived at the jail they brought the jailer
to the door with the ruse that they
had a prisoner. overpowered him and
took his keys. After securing the ne
gro they locked the jailer in Morris
cell and soon accomplished their work
Sheriff Houston was in Georgia at the
time. Morris had been acting strangely
and it is believed the fear that the
negro might escape the gallows by
feigning insanity prompted the act Of
the mob.
Langston was killed by Morris last
March while the sheriff was attempt
