GIRAFFE A CURIOUS BRUTE
Though Exceedingly Frightened by
Slight Rustic, He Is Quite !ndlf-
ferent to Loud Noises.

Among the curious characteristics
OF the giraffe is it's strange indiffer-
ence to loud noises, as contrasted with
its peculiar "scariness" with refer
ence to slight sounds. Noisy sounds,
like that OF man walking near IN
hobnailed boots, the giraffe does not
appear to notice, but should 1t be ap-
preached by woman whose skirts
give out but the slightest rustic, the
sound thereof causes the giraffe to
start up with pricked ears and eyes
distended In fear.
Officials Of geological institution,
situated near canal, tell of curious
instance Of this popularity Of giraffes.
After terrible explosion of gunpow-
der on barge on the canal, the keep
ers were astonished to observe that
the giraffes took little notice of the
tremendous blast. They Jumped to
their feet, but almost at once laid
down again, when they found that
nothing extraordinary had happened in
their inclosure. But, were keeper at
! night to creep along outside that In
closure In HIS stocking feet, the queer
beasts would exhibit such terror that
one would imagine them about to dash
themselves in terror against the
| fences
CRATES fear the lurking foe, and 9
big bang scares them hardly at all
To them the faint, rustling sound is s
token of the greatest danger. In thai
respect they are like deer.

NOT WARNED BY HER PEARLS
Empress Eueenie Did Not PROFIT by
Superstition Attaching to Her
Bridal Necklace.

Various are the sunerstitions at
tached to precious stones, and the
representation of the lady who COM
nfented on the Empress Eugenie's
bridal pearls has certainly ample justi-
1cation in later years.
TT was Spanish lady says Jane
r. StcSdart in her biography, who as
she admired the pearl necklace worn
by the youthful sovereign quoted with
melancholy foreboding that proverb of
her country, THE pearls which women
wear on their wedding day are SYM
Dol of the tears which they will
she'd
Il think 1T is Maeterlinck who says
somewhere that luck really means the
possession of sixth sense which
warns one of coming disaster or dan
ger. The Empress Eugene must sure
ly been possessed of the faculty,
though ALAS she did not profit by 1t.
Strangely enough the empress first
act after her marriage showed that her
mind was brooding on images of death
and sorrow. At the beginning of her
honeymoon at St Cloud she asked Ma
poleon to drive her to Versailles and
there she inspected with mournful in
terest the rooms of Marie Antoinette
in the Little Trianon
"On returning to Paris the impe-
rial pair visited the Archives Nation
ales and read Marie Anto1nette's last
letter, written from the Conciergerie
on the morning of her execution. Eu.
genia in later years made a collection
of relics belonging to the hapless
queen"

There Are Tlnts In Teeth.

Pearly teeth are not the fashion ev.
erywhere, according to Donald c. Mat
thews of Dundee. Scotland. who is at
the New Willard. and who is interest
ed in the manufacture Of artificial
teeth. the Washington Herald says.
Firms of artificial teeth manufactur-
ers who have an export trade have to
keep in stock molars of every shade
of color from white to black. There
is steady demand for black teeth in
Siam, Java. Batavia and Burma. where
the natives chew the betel nut. which
blackens the teeth. For Persia the
teeth must be absolutely white. Re-
Gently we have received an order from
Bhavnagar, India. for some bright red
and blue artificial teeth. Smokers
teeth are regularly supplied to den
lists In shades to match those which
have been dlscolored by nicotine"

Mrs. j. w. Patterson of this city
had severe accident in Chicago last
thursday, according to word received
here from her daughter. Mrs. Patter-
son was crossing Lincoln avenue
when she was hit by street car. The
Keokuk lady sustained injuries to her
thigh, head and one of her elbows.
Her head was cut open and numerous
bruises about the body resulted from
the mishap. Mrs. Patterson was un-
conscious all Thursday and Friday
and did not regain her conscious state
until Saturday She is getting along
as we'll as can be expected at the
present time While in Chicago, a son
was born to Mr.. and Mrs John Pat

little arrival was named James

The question Of whether saloons
of Keokuk have to qualify under the
new general consent granted by the
board of supervisors Of the county was
Informally discussed by several at
torneys In the district court today. To
qualify 1t Is necessary to obtain the
fifty foot consent file a bond and in
other words comply with all of the
| provisions of the mulct law as laid
oown in section 244s of the code. II
it is necessary to qualify this should
be done on or before July 1. Were il
not for the fact that the new petition
of general consent which was obtain
ed and found sufficient by the board
last December all rights under the
former general consent petition
would run out on July 1, the law pro
4 viding that the general consent petit
! ton are in force for FIVE years only
Thus the new petition of general con
sent would be in force for only five
years from the time when the board
of supervisors found it to be sufficient
The question now is what methods
should be adopted to make certain
that the law is being complied witt
under the new consent petition.

|OYKE PROJECT TO
COST 100000.
/ Ii Drainage District is Formed in
Green Bay Township This
Amount VIII Be spen.

PROTECT $4,000 ACRES
The Water Power Company is Inter
ested in SEQ Acres and the
Farmers Of Township In III.
Balance.
PROTECT $4,000 ACRES

The farmers Of Green Bay township
have long desired a dyke for protec-
ton OF their lands, but not until yes
terday, when the Mississippi River
Power Company made proposition,
have they seen their way clear to
financing such an extensive drainage
project. The company will have to
buy 5000 acres of land unless dyke
is constructed. The dyke contempla-
ted would be seventeen miles in
length and would cost 100000. 1t
would not only protect the 5000
acres that would otherwise be over
flowed when the dam is built, but
also 10000 acres in which the COM
pany need not interest itself. This
10000 acres tract is in constant
danger annually from the floods and
many crops have been spoiled in the
| past as result Of them. The Water
Power Company proposes to assist the
| farmers interested in financing the
reconstruction work, but 1t has not yet
been learned in what extent. The
farmers will be in conference regard
| ing the matter for period of week
or ten days and an answer by that
time is expected. If it is decided to
build the dyke the proper legal steps
will be taken and drainage district
organized under the supervision of
/ the board Of supervisors of the coun-
| ty. 1t is estimated that the cost to
the farmers would be about SIS an
acre. The soil in this district is ex-
cellent and crops would be made a
certainty.
