GEOGRAPHICAL ODDITIES.
Some Peculiar Facts About These
Great Limited State.

Some Peculiar Facts About These
Great United States.
The following collection of geograph-
ical peculiarities about the United
States and places therein embodies
certain unique points well worth re-
membering.
A novel way to demonstrate the size
of the state of Texas is to spread out
a map of the union and stretch string
across Texas the longest way. Then,
placing one end of the measure at Chi
cago. one will find that the other end
will extend into either the Atlantic
ocean or the gulf Of Mexico.
The two largest counties in the
United States are Custer county,
Mont. and San Bernardino county,
Cal. Each of these is a little more
than 10000 square miles in extent, and
the states of Massachusetts. Rhode
Island, Delaware and New Jersey
could be put inside the boundaries Of
either of them.
The smallest county in the union is
Bristol county, r. l., which has only
twenty-five square miles.
About fifty miles from Durango.
Colo. there is point where four states
meet. Here by stepping few feet in
either direction one can walk in four
different commonwealth In as many
seconds. These commonwealth are
the states of Colorado and Utah and
the territories of New Mexico and Ari-
IONA.
A nearly parallel case is at Harpers
Ferry. where the train stops a few
minutes to allow the passengers to
alight and enjoy a view which per-
mits them to look into three states,
Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.
The highest and lowest elevations in
this country are in California. within
100 miles of each other. The loftiest
is Mount Whitney. 14499 feet high,
and the lowest is Death valley. about
$50 feet below the level of the sea.
Two Oceans pass. in Yellowstone
park, is SO named because. whenever
there is shower in the vicinity and a
certain small creek overfows. its
waters spread out over the edge of the
continental divide and pass into tribu-
taries of rivers which flow to the At
lantic and to the Pacific.-Boston
Globe.

A STRANGE Method of saIutation.

strange mernoo OF SaiutatioH.
OF all the strange modes of saluta-
ton the most extraordinary Is the
dance of ceremony current in the
west African kingdom of Dahomey.
Whenever any Dahoman chief or Off
cial of rank comes to pay you a visit
he always opens the interview by
dancing around you with various queer
contortions extremely suggestive OF
his having just upset kettle of boil
ing water over his knees), which you
are bound to initiate as closely as pos
sible. 1t is even reported that one Of
the native ministers of the terrible
King Gezu owed his rapid rise at the
Dahoman court wholly to his superior
skill in cutting these strange capers
and that he thus literally as well as
figuratiyely jumped to preferment.

Owing to a change for the worse In

in the same house was compelled to
sell it and move elsewhere. Their old
house became a home for aged col

were indeed different within. Being

POISON IREES.
They Are Found In Only Two Places
In the World

They Are Found In Only Two Places
In the World.
In only two places in the world.
Queensland and the west coast of At
RIGA, can there be found that most re-
markable of nature productions, the
Erythrophlocum laboucheri Tor poison
tree. Referring to this tree in speak
ing at a meeting of the Sydney Nat
ural History society, A. Weston. for
merly protector of aborigines in north
ern Queensland, says that when in
full foliage it is one Of the most beau
tiful trees in the world. The wood is
elegantly grained and marked by col
ors and peculiar streaks which readily
distinguish it from any other known
timber. 1t is extremely hard and
tough, and the blacks Of the Cape
York peninsula use it for making their
woomeras, with which they throw the
spear. The tree bears long rods con-
tanning beans. which. like the leaves,
are fatal to all animal life. The
stomach of dead goat or dead sheep
may show only three or four undigest-
ed green leaves. All animals are blind
before they die and remain blind if
they recover. This tree killed sixteen
of the Chillagoe company's camels. 1t
killed some of the horses and cattle
of the Jardine brothers in their ex
petition to Cape York in 1864. On one
occasion it killed several thousand
sheep on the gulf rivers. Occasionally
an aboriginal Lucrezia Borgia disposes
of a rival by mixing some crushed
beans in a mashed yam or pounded
cunjeboi. and the unhappy Juliet can
nevermere gaze upon her lost Romeo.
Even inhaling the smoke of the burn
ing wood is said to have a disastrous
effect upon ladies' who. in Byronic
phrase, are among those who love
their lords" consequently 1t is never
used for firewcod except in extreme
cases of matrimonial infelicity LON

Ancient Sacrifices.

Many Roman and Greek epicures
were very fond Of dog flesh. Before
Christianity was established among
the Danes on every ninth year ninety
nine dogs were sacrificed. In Sweden
each ninth day ninety-nine dogs were
destroyed. But later on dogs were not
thought good enough. aud every ninth
year ninety-nine human beings were
inundated, the sons of the reigning
tyrant among the rest, in order that
the life of the monarch might be pro-
longed.

fare. There are also some food mate
rails which, while very nutritious, re-
Quire considerable effort on the part
OF the digestive organs to make them
available for the body. So it is clear
that one must know something about
the structure. composition and food
value of any material before ii can be
handled intelligently. Now, what about
vegetables and their preparation for
the table? Practically all green vege-
tables contain a large amount of wa
ter, with a smaller percentage of
starch, a very little protein. some
sugar, gum and woody fiber.
The older the vegetable the harder
the woody fiber becomes until the veg
etable which has been left in the
ground till late In the season can be
torn apart like coarse threads. 1t is
this fiber which renders vegetables
hard to digest and which necessitates
cooking in order to soften it. Most
vegetables contain some mineral mat
ter and certain volatile essential oils
which give them their characteristic
favor. II the cooking is not properly
performed the essential oils may
change in their character and the orig
tnal flavor of the vegetable be de-
stroyed.
Vegetables are useful in the diet for
three reasons:
First. The mineral salts are needed
to keep the blood pure and for bone
formation in the young. People who
are denied fresh fruits and vegetables
for any length of time are likely to de-
veIop certain skin diseases.
Second. woody fber, just be-

 A petition was received by the Commission yesterday asking for a freight agent at Keevil, on the Cot ton Belt.
