An actor in a small company was

horse and betrayed the hero's sister.
But something like this really did
happen to George Scott, manager OF
the Alhambra in London. In his
younger days Mr.. Scott was a stage
villain of the deepest dye, and one OF
his favorite parts was that OF the
wicked Levison in EAST Lynne"
After playing the character few
nights in Blackpool he had occasion
for wishing to change his lodgings
and, knocking at the door of a house
in the next street. was greeted by the
good lady who opened it with a shrek

a Simple Treatment by Which They
May BE Cured.
, Did you ever take nine swallows Of
water to cure the hiccoughs? Do you
remember the time some one scared
the hiccoughs away by telling you Of
a whipping due for some meanness?
Well, science has been studying hic-
coughs and caught the @hiccoughs by
the 'nape of the neck" The nine
swallows of water had little science
in it, and so did the scare cure. The
scientific hiccough cure consists in
pressing down to numbness the nerve
that connects the stomach, heart, lungs
and brain. the pneumogastric nerve.
The pressure partially and locally
paralyzes this nerve and Of necessity
the hiccoughing must cease.
Have the hiccoughing patient sit
down and be at ease, with the muscles
Of the neck relaxed as much as posi-
BILE. Grasp both sides Of the neck
somewhat toward the back part and
press down steadily and as hard as the
subject may permit for about one min
ute, having the patient work the head
from side to side. Within about one
minute the nerve will be numbed and
rested, and the spasmodic motion will
cease. 1t may require longer pressure
in some cases, but the result is sure If
patience is maintained. Ohio State

Early Habits That Demonstration Have
Not Eradieated.
A. curious question in evolution was
once put to scientist prominent In the
service of the government. why is
it," some one asked, that horses shy
and donkeys do not?"
The answer was to the following ef-
feet:
The ancestors of the horse were &C.
customed to roam over the plains.
where every tuft Of grass or bush
might conceal an enemy waiting in
ambush. In these circumstances the
must have time and again saved the
lives by quickly starting back pr else
suddenly jumping to one side VIII,
without warning some strange object
appeared to them. The habit mus
have indeed been a strong one, seeing
that so many years of domestication
have not eradicated it. =;
On the other hand, the donkey is de-
scended from animals that lived among
the hills, with the usual precipices and
dangerous declivities. and from these
conditions, It wOul0 appear, tnere re-
suited its slowness and sure footedness.
The donkey's ancestors were not, then.
20 liable to sudden attacks from wild
beasts and snakes. Moreover, sudden
and Wild starts would have been pos
1tively dangerous to the donkey's for
bears. Consequently they learned to
avoid the characteristic trick Of the
horse. The habit of eating thistles, Pc
culiar to the donkey, seems also to
have been inherited from it's ancestors.
In the dry, barren localities they in
habfted there was often very, little
food; therefore they learned to eat the
hard, dry and even prickly plants and
undergrowth when nothing else pre-
sented itself.-New York Tribune. s

The monterey CYPRESS.
Found In It's Wild State In Only Tw<
Spots In the World.

Found In Its Wild State In Only Two
Spots In the World.
One of the most interesting and pic.
turesque trees In the world, as well as
one of the most ancient, is the Cupres-
sus macracarps, or Monterey cypress.
Its native habitat is extremely restrict
ed, for it is found in its wild state In
only two spots in the whole wide world
on the edge of grove of conifers
stretching for a few miles between
the bay Of Monterey and the bay of
Carmel (the latter of which bears a
striking resemblance in outline and
color to it's prototype in the Holy Land)
and in a similar spot near Pescadero. a
little town lying on the coast between
Monterey and San Francisco. The
Monterey grove consists of only doz-
en- or two expresses of large size and
most striking appearance. Their trunks
are massive and wrinkled with hoary
age, while their boughs. gnarled and
twisted. grow chiefly on one side away
from the stormy winds that have buf-
feted them for thousands of years. The
noble trees are limited to the rocky
wind beaten shore, on which some OF
them have but precarfous hold.
Hemmed between the slowly .encroach-
ing ocean on one hand and pine for
est on the other, their future Is ex-
posed to great hazard. 1t Is therefore
gratifying to observe that fair num-

Ripsninn Bananas.

1t 1s3 familiar fact that bananas
are imported green, but 1t came as a
new thing to a visitor to the banana
district in Colombia to find that ba'
nanas are not permitted to ripen on
the plant even down there. They are
cut and set to hang somewhere until
they wither ripe. az the phrase is.
Bananas do not have to be yellow to
be ripe. That is only the color OF the
skin when It has dried up. To the
person who ia accustomed to, eating
bananas only when they are yellow It
seems odd to peel them when they are
green and find that they are perfectly

RECENT RAID ON THE "STOCKADE"
AS A SAMPLE OF MORMON CONSISTENCY

but the sheriff like the chief
prophet, was deaf TO the protests

subsequently the women were in
vited to transfer their business to Com
mercial street, and to occupy buildings
owned by prominent Mormons. And
during ten or more years vice of all
kinds ran riot in that locality. 1t was
under the so.called Democratic admin
istratiou OF Mayor Morris that CONNER
cial street attained its most unsavory
reputation. AT least half dozen gam
bling dens were wide open to the pub
lie. Scores of laboring men passed over

with serene Indifference the demorallza-
ton Of the weak Saints and sinners
who thronged the sbark-infested dens.
Prostitutes swarmed in the streets
and solicited under the eyes of the
agents of the prophets. " Almost
nightly men were drugged, robbed and
often murdered. There was then no
outcry from the Deseret News, because
of tho wickedness of Commercial street.
Nor was there any effort on the part
of the Saints TO even minimize the evil.
No Mormon deputy sheriffs intervened
In the interests of public morality and
ciVlc decency; there were no good Nor
mon bishops TO urge the sanity officers
to '' Arrest them all. Take every one
OF the women in the place
During It's first administration the
American party closed the gambling
hells, drove the gamblers from the city,
forced the women to cease their so
llcitlng on the streets and thus reduced
the evil to the minimum. 1t was the
best that could, or can, be done in the
interest Of public morals. And in their
efforts TO minimize the evils Of GAM
bling and prostitution the American
party was encouraged by Prophet Seer
and -Revelator Joseph +. Smith, who
charged them with being "patrons of
vice and crime and lewd women!D
Except as to recent arrivals every
man and woman in Salt Lake City
knows, or ought TO know, that the sher-
III g raid on the women Of Commercial
street last October was solely for po-
lltlcal etfeet-that it was an. example
of monumental hypocrisy such as never
was, nor ever will be, seen outside of

every thinking man and women knows
that the raid of last evening was but
