Liquid Dynamite.

The Mexicans have a native brandy
called aguardiente, which is a species
of liquid dynamite. as palatable as cor
rosive sublimate and as full of poten
tial deyiltry as an egg is of meat.
When you find Mexican gentleman
adorned with belt full of deadly
weapons decorating and deluging his
interior with aguardiente it is the part
Of prudence to retire to bombproof.
There is another tipple, white, inno-
cent looking fluid called mescal, which
is distilled from cactus of the same
name, which has in it all the COM
bined energy, activity and homicidal
possibilities of volcano mixed up
. with the gable end of a mule. In for
mer days the Apache Indians made a
crude distillation of the same stimu-
liant, which they called tis-win, and as
a preliminary to raid among ranches
and settlements it was great success
from an Indian point of view.-Boston

The Crocodiies Dived.

The cunning Of wild animals in con-
cealing themselves in moments of
danger is we'll known. A party, spend
ing week on the Nile, were watching
eight or ten crocodiles summing them
selves on the surface of a small Ia
goon. 1t was determined to trap these
monsters. if possible. The water was
breast deep, including about two feet
or more of heavy mud. -Four nets
were tied together, so as to make one
long enough to reach across the lagoon,
and this was weighted on the bottom.
This net was drawn with long poles
from each shore, and behind the net
came line of men yard apart, prod
ding the mud with poles. The scheme
looked like an admirable one, but the
crocodiles sleepily dived, and that was
the last seen of them. The water was
dragged backward and forward, but
they had burrowed SO deeply in the
mud that not one could he found.

Good Money After Bad.

& It Is curious fact that many men,
level headed enough about other
things, seem to lose their wits entirely
when they become involved in law
suits In one case recently concluded
in the. German courts a Berlin mer-
chant paid out over 5000 to recover
the value of a five cent postage stamp
He had written a letter asking for an
address and inclosing postage for re-
ply. Failing to get an answer, he
sued for the stamp.
The famous Missouri watermelon
case was just as trif1ing and even
more disastrous. The seed was
planted on one farm, but the vine
crept through crack in the rail fence,
and the melon grew on the other
side. Both farmers claimed it, and
instead of perceiving the humor of the
situation they went to law. To add
to the puzzling features of the question
Of ownership there was the further
complication in that the fence stood
on a county line, whereupon ques-
ton of the jurisdiction of the courts
came up. The farmers bankrupted
themselves without obtaining de-
cision as to the ownership.-Green Bag.

A Political Genius,

Congressman sometimes adopt queer
expedients to gain the good will Of
their constituents. Years ago a men,
ber from a western state was afraid
that his first term would be his last,
as he had not managed to make him
self power in congress. While he
was debating what he should do a
friend said ''You live near the center
of the United States. don't you?"
Yes" Then why don't you intro
duce bill to have the capital moved
to the principal town in your dis
trict?" The congressman introduced
the bill, and the people Of his district
at once concluded he was a great man
and sent him back for another term.
He reintroduced the bill in the next
congress, and, although it was prompt
~ pigeonholed in committee. his con-
stituents gave him third term as
reward for his genius.

Water and EIectricitY.s

Since the general Introduction Of
electricity into the cities it has been
known that it was possible to secure
a very considerable shock through a
stream of water, and firemen in all
large cities are on the lookout for this.
Wires which look as if they might con-
duct heavy currents are cut before a
stream of wlter is thrown in their di-
rection. Recently In the construction
of an electric railway in South Africa
it was noticed that column of steam
from a locomotive could be the means
of conveying the current, and several
workmen were shocked in this man.

TO CURE COLDS
Don't Neglect Cold, Stop it in the

Balm.

A. cold generally attacks the weak
est part, affecting the eyes and ears
in some and producing nasal catarrh
and throat troubles in Others A cold
is due to an Inflammation of the
membrane lining the air passag ages,
and may be promptly cured with
little Ely's Cream Balm, which i'm
mediately relieves the inflammation
and all the distressing symptoms,
such as sneezing, coughing, running
at the nose and eyes, hoarseness, sore
throat, fever and headache. One rea-
son why this pure, antiseptic Balm
acts so quickly is because it is ap-
piled directly to the tender, sore sur
face.
Even in severe, chronic cases of
catarrh Ely's Cream Balm never fails
to quickly and effectually check the,
poisonous discharge which clogs the
head and throat, causing the disgust
ing hawking, splitting and blowing of
the nose. This remedy not only
drives out the rotteneness, but heals
and strengthens the weakened and
diseased membranes, thus ending ca
tarrh for all time.
Catarrh is filthy, disgusting dis

The Blushinu Octopus.

The octopus frequently changes in
color like marine chameleon. 1t
would appear, from studies of this
creature, that the colored pigment
whereby this change in color is effected
is contained in envelopes in its skin,
in the tissue of which are muscular
fibers actuated by nerves. Should
these fbers become relaxed a dark
pigment appears. The phenomenon is
said to be analogous to blushing.-Har-
