Ohio Man,s Ewes onened.

A man from Ohio who was recently in Seattle, Wash, having heard that the salmon run was on and that scowloads were being taken to the canneries every hour, called waiter In local hotel to him and said:
 Sam, go out and buy me the big gest and finest red salmon you can get, have it baked and served to me at dinner. Here is five dollars; keep the change"
 When the meal was served that night the Ohio man sat down before a baked fish that stretched the whole length of four-foot platter He was amazed, and asked for an explanation. He was more surprised and better in- formed about the salmon family when the waiter said that he might have bought a 45-pound salmon instead of just 40-pound fish had he been just a few minutes sooner. He also in- formed the Ohioan that there was no change to be returned for the fish had cost s4.90, and the walters carfare was ten cents, so he received nothing for the labor of carrying the big fish to the hotel.

 Years Ago Was n Bandit.
 Herr Charles May. of Berlin, may be termed the Jean Valjean of Germany. Millionaire whose time and money were spent in doing good. author of re ligious books and altogether a splen, did figure of Christian manhood. May was just few days ago branded by a jury as the perpetrator of many vio- lent crimes in southern Saxon noun tains forty long years ago, where he led band of desperate brigands. May, who is 70 years old, collapsed and was put under guard to prevent his com hitting suicide The charges were made by Wilhelm Lebius. a trade union leader. May sued for libel The jury decided that Lebius had proven the allegations in a court at Char lottenburg, a suburb of Berlin Not only was it proven that Herr May had been a notorious bandit. but there is no doubt but what he is the author of a long series of cheap novels written mauy years ago in which he describes the deeds he had committed Herr May is a splendid linguist, speaking even Chinese and Choctaw.

Sheep Bone In His Arm.

A patient in the charity hospital al New Orleans has become part sheep through the highly efficient work oi the attending surgeons at that noted institution. The forearm of the pa. tient undergoing the novel operation had been shattered by the discharge of shotgun.
 When he was brought to the hos pital the surgeons shook their heads and looked wise, for it seemed like a case where the only way was to use the knife and the saw. Their skill was in question, however, so they took an other look, fondled their Van Dykes, and after due deliberation announced that if the sufferer would stand for it they would resort to heroic measures. They had banked on the patients in- ability to fight and his natural desire to have the arm saved to help feed himself with.
 Of course they won-the Docs are quite wise at times. So a sheep was run down, sheared, shaved, treat ed to a bath in some sort of bug killer, and in a trice they had trans ferred to the suffering mans anatomy the genuine foundation for a lego lamb" with mint sauce.
 AS usual, the operation was pro nounced thoroughly successful.

~erouch eermn Discovered.

Scientists have found the "grouch germ,'' according to reports from Kan sas City. This germ, 1t is believed, thrives particularly in the vicinity of monographs and in neighborhoods where a great many young porch par ties celebrate until the small hours of the morning. These 'grouch germs" are great travellers and are carried about from place to place. They are spread by bill collectors, book agents and persons who go from house to house selling potato peelers and glass cutters Those who go about with subscription lists seeking donations are also responsible for the wide scat tering of the little microbe which pro- duces peevishness in hot weather. With these pointers one may know how to avoid giving the pest chance to carry on its fiendish work.

PONDS SUPPLIED BY DEW
Mlsts From the Sea Aid in Keeping Hilltop Reservoirs Filled
 With Water.

The question why Jack and Jin went up" the hill, instead of down, to fetch the famous pail of water has been solved by the latest dictionaries, in which may be found the word dew pond" It was to one of these, which are always built upon high ground, that the two were bound, says the Scien- tific American, adding that probably 1t was located on the English downs. Continuing. the writer says:
 The hydrology of the down country is topsy-turvy, for a down is an un- land, and the downs afford a bountiful supply of water even when the wales are parched. Hence the singular spec tacle of cattle being driven to the hill tops and carts sent uphill to procure water.
 What is dew pond? The word is only to be found in the two newest dfctionaries-the New International and the Century Supplement, both published this year-though 1t has been used locally for hundred years, perhaps much longer.
 Dew ponds date back to prehis- toric era. They receive water direct ly from the air-whether chiefly in the form of rain, mist or otherwise is a question still unsettled, impervious bottoms enabling them to retain all the water they gather. The bottom commonly consists of chalk or clay, over which is strewn layer of rubble to prevent perforation by the hoofs of animals. A layer of straw is often added. The ponds measure 30 to 70 feet across, and the dep.h does not ex- ceed three or four feet.
 The theory that these ponds are fed by dew-by the condensation of the invisible moisture of the air-is supported by Edward A. Martin, who has been making extensive observa- tions in Sussex, and who believes that he has found an important source of the water supply in the frequent mists from the sea- From the Geographical Journal of August, 1900, we quote the following:
 Everyone acquainted with the Sussex downs must be familiar with the sea fogs which sweep inland from the south. Ones clothing quickly be- comes covered with a deposit of dew like beads. .. On some of the downs in West Sussex the highest parts are chosen for pond construction, as be- ing more exposed to the moisture-la- den winds. Dew would not be depos; ited if the air were in rapid motion, but fog brought in from the esq would remain in spite of the wind, provided the temperature were sufficiently low
 50 the name dew pond is a mis- but as Dr. Hugh Robert Mill has recently remarked, it would be pity if this picturesque word should vanish from the language"

BIunderine urbnnitr.

The Japanese have ever the instinct Of politeness. It may happen, how ever, as in the case recorded below, that their idea of a compliment is not precisely that of the one to whom they wish to show courtesy. The story was told by Inspector General Hornaday of the G. A. R. to a Washington Star reporter.
 "I remember little Japanese who attended one of our banquets," he said, "and a queer compliment that he raid to a colonel's wife.

To Provide for conxIets, Families

10 FrOVloe TOT COnViCtS' FdmilIeS,
 An act to provide relief for the wives and children and other relatives who may be dependent upon prisoners com mitted to the state prison will be brought before the legislature at its next session, according to F. s. Weis, secretary of the Louisiana state board of charities and corrections.
 Since the publication of an article ''Is the Right Party Punished?" many inquiries have been received by Mir Weis as to the number of destitute families in the city, and the number throughout the state, and it appears that there are many charitable per sons interested in the passage of this act It is said to be simple matter of justice, not of charity; and every effort will be made to prevent the measure from being shelved at the next session.-New Orleans Times.

The Great American Can.

To the Malay peninsula every year go about 1,300,00o one-gallon tin cans, containing American petroleum. Thou sands of the cans are used as water buckets The interior of a Malar, a Tamil, or a Chinese home contains American tin cans of all sizes and shapes, put to some useful purpose. Sieves are made by puncturing holes. Thousands of dust pans are made from the cans by removing one side, curving two sides and attaching a large wooden handle Baking and cooking utensils of all kinds are also skilfully manufactured from them and may be seen in thousands of homes.
 For storing articles of food against ant onslaughts the tin can is a bles- sing. Hundreds of men are engaged in manufacturing tin cans into fun nels, pepper and salt casters, cocoanut and nutmeg graters, lamps, biscuit tins, tea and coffee pots, ladies, mugs, cake patties, Chinese pipes, oil pumps, money boxes and the framework for false teeth.
 So necessary has the American tin can become to these people that to be deprived of its manifold uses would cause a real hardship.-Consul-Ge eral Du Bois. Singapore.

Odd Cures for seasickness.

Among curious remedies for seasick- ness is that which is popular among the mariners in the Levant-the daily swallowing of iron rust, which is ob- tained by the simple process of scrap ing it off the anchor or anchor chain. But this is only part of the treatment. for small pouch containing roasted salt and flowers of thyme must be tied upon the abdomen as firmly as can be borne, this being considered to coun- teract the effect of the internal dis turbances caused by the rolling of the vessel. Known to the ancient Greeks as "thymian salt" the preparation has at least the authority of old age, while It's efficacy is not without modern tes- timony. And the belt is better than the salt. and the faith better than the belt

ALL USE ALCOHOL
SNAKE.5.TE REMEDY IN NORTH
 CAROLINA MOUNTAINS.
Flask of Mountain Dew" Considered an Indispensable Part of Man's Equipment-NotA Always Pos
 sibIe to Save Victim.

Recent experiments with serum to
 cure rattlesnake bites have called to
 mind the old-time remedy used by
 those whose ways lie along the paths
 of the mountain reptiles. Since the
 first mountaineer was bitten by the first man-hating rattler alcoholic stimulant has been the antidote. and
 the only one so far as the backwoods-
 mans knowledge was concerned.
 In the North Carolina mountains,
 where rattlers are as plentiful as long
 legged natives, the man considers a
 flask of mountain dew" a necessary companion at all times, even if he is not habitual drinker. Look into any log hut and you will find (unless the owner mistakes you for revenue off cer) at least one keg of the powerful corn whiskey stilled by some moon sinner back in the woods. It Is well that the whitish beverage is uncom- monly strong, since only small quan- tity has to be carried about for safe guard against snake bites.
 When a rattler hits you, as the mountaineer knows, you must drink enough alcohol to become intoxicated. As soon as you feel "lit," the poison has been enumerated; if you have not enough liquor to affect you the only thing to do is to lie down and say your prayers.
 The amount of whisky needed to offset the poison depends, according to rural belief, upon the spot where the snake imbeds its fang. A bite on the body, in the region near the heart, is considered so surely fatal that no amount of spirits can avail, as the poi son has only brief distance to travel through the veins before it stops the hearts beating. If the bite is on the leg or arm, however, the whisky has plenty of time to get in its work. For tunately most bites are on the limbs. The most frequent encounter with rattler Is beside some rotten log on the mountainside, when the climber unexpectedly puts his hand or foot on one of the creatures lying asleep. August is the rattler's sleeping month, and majority of the bites are re- corded then. The reptile awake is likely to run as fast as he can to avoid Q man; he only uses his fangs when his enemy is too close to be lodged.
 On account of the rattlesnakes trout fishing along the North Carolina brooks is not the least handicapped outdoor sport in the world. The angler who leaves behind his whisky is re- garded as positively fooIhardy. That there are few bites recorded by the fishermen is largely due to the rat tler's fondness for high places; the snake does not come down to the brookside for water unless a long drought has dried all the springs high up, and hence 1t is only in the dryest season that one has to be careful when in the bottom of valley. The streams are so rough, however, that it is often necessary to skirt noun tainside rather than risk ones neck wading or swimming through walled crevices, and the rattlers have their dens in rocky caves half way up the acclivity, almost overhanging the brook, at an elevation of few hun dred feet.
