In closely-built houses, where there

contaminated by gases arising from

these gases during the night, it is
no wonder that the system becomes

LANDED A BIG FISH.
Then He Hooked Bigger Game and
Had an Exciting Time.


A singular fish story is told in the
East Indian papers. A fisherman
started for the river. accompanied by
shikari, carrying a rife for use in
case of an encounter with big game.
The fisherman in a short time landed
a large fish and then moved up stream
to another pool. On his way he pass
ed a ravine and caught sight of an
enormous tiger.
In a panic the fisherman concealed
himself behind pile Of rocks and was
fiattering himself that he had escaped
observation when the fish fell from his
hands in full view Of the tiger.
The fish was foundering in the road.
and the tiger instantly bounced on it
and carried it off. But the hook still
held, and as soon as the tiger felt the
resistance of the line he gave his head
an impatient shake, which resulted in
the harpooning Of his upper lip.
At this critical moment the enraged
animal saw the crouching fisherman.
who was totally unnerved by his dan
gerous position, and actually began to
play the tiger as he would a fish.
The tiger stopped for a moment in
apparent amazement at such audacity,
and in that instant the shikari came
on the scene with his rife and sent a
bullet through the brute's brain.-St.

FRENCH TOBACCO TESTERS.
Men Who Find Smoking Anything but
an Agreeable Task.

an A9Foeaote ] ask.
The French governments official
tasters Of tobacco form a category Of
civil servants of whose activity little
is known outside their own depart
ment
Tobacco is state monopoly in
France, and these experts are employ
ed under the ministry of finance to re-
port on all classes of tobacco that are
permitted to be sold in France. The
men are mostly superannuated inspec-
tors of tobacco factories.
Their hours of business are from 9
to 5. AS rule, it is the lower grades
of tobacco that need the most careful
attention. They have to report not
only on the cigars. cigarettes and pipe
tobaccos put on the market by the
French Tobacco Reggie, but also on all
imported tobacco.
Smoking when compulsory is any
thing but an agreeable duty. these
employees say. They are in constant
danger from ills caused by the exces-
sive use of tobacco, and they combat
these by taking large quantities of
black coffee, which is also said to as
sist them to differentiate between the
various kinds Of tobacco on which they
have to give their opinion.-Exchange.

NOISY FISHES.

and the Drumfish Booms.

The Skate Grunts, the Puffer ChuekIes,
and the Drumfish Booms.
Perhaps the most conspicuous exam.
pie Of the fishes that are capable. of ut
terance is the drumfish. so called by
reason OF the deep, booming noise it
produces at will. 1t is found along
the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts
to Florida.
The squeteague. another salt water
fish of the noisy variety, resembles in
appearance the trout, and the not I'M
musical sound that 1t gives out is
much like the note uttered by a big
bullfrog. Allied to the squeteague is
the fish known as 1.-The croaker," which,
as its popular name indicates. affects
the croak-an unmistakable croak.
The sea robin, so called because it
has crimson fms just behind its head.
about the size Of birds wings, is an
other fish that makes itself heard
The "squawk" Of the sea robin is es-
pecially emphatic when on being
caught 1t lifts up its voice in reiterat-
ed protests.
There is fish that may be said to
chuckle-the little puffer or swellfsh.
1t puffs itself into the shape Of per-
feet sphere and as it does so gives
out a peculiar. hoarse chuckle.

groans and gasps pretty much after
the manner Of a human being in dis

How Seeds Travel.

They have been discovering some ex-
traordinary plants in England. plants
which puzzled the botanists. to whom
they were either utterly unknown or
known as growing only in far distant
lands. One naturalist picked on the
grounds of the Bradford sewage works
100 species of foreign plants. Among
these were several Australian burrs.
jimson weed, prickly peoples from
Mexico. others native to Peru, Siberia
and the Azores. All were Of a prickly
nature. Investigation proved that the
dust from wool combing establishments
was being used as fertilizer and the
washings of wool were run into the
sewers. The burrs Of these foreign
plants had come in the wool and had
grown. Other plants had sprung from
seed in rags and others been brought
in soil on foreign tfmber.-New York

a storm of Kisses and cat-calls- Then
came Senator Hills shrewd dissec-
ton of the free silver platform. IL
has been said that after Tillman had
shamed the free silverites. Hill
showed them how they had shamed
themselves.
There could have been no time more
propitious for the speech OF a free sill
Yer advocate of Bryan's eloQuence.
Tillman's speech had thrown the con.
vention into an uproar and had Gre
ated dissension among the free sill
Yer men. while Hills address had
brought joy TO the gold minority and
had heightened the disaffection in the
free silver ranks. IL was at this mo-
ment when William Jennings Bryan.
then a young man of So. rose to ad-
dress the delegates. He said:
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen of
the convention, | would be presump-
tious, indeed. TO present myself
against the distinguished gentlemen
TO whom you have listened. il this
were but a measuring of ability, but
this is not a contest among persons.

cause. is stronger of all the whole
hosts of error that they can bring. l

Bryan's speech was short. occupy

He closed his masterpiece of elo-
quence with these ringing meta
phores:
You shall not press down upon
the brow of labor this crown OF
thornes. You shall not cruelty man

With this stirring admonition ring
ing in their ears, the delegates began
the ballot. There were 76S delegates

512 votes were necessary for a NOM

was only 81 years old, secured the
services of Hal T. Lewis, of Georgia.

Bland received 291 and Bryan 21s.
On the fourth ballot Bland at last
fell behind. He got 241 votes. while
Bryan drew $50.
On the fifth ballot the landslide be-
gan. John r. Mclean withdrew his

Ohio delegation solidly for Bryan, and
Governor Stone, the champion of Mr..

On the seventh ballot General Cass.
of Michigan. took the lead with 12S
votes, with Van Buren, next with 80,
and Buchanan and Johnson bringing
up the rear with % and p vostes, re-
spectively.
At this time Van Buren's waning
power before the national body and
Cass's corresponding gains seemed to
indicate that the later would be the
Democratic presidential nominee. On
the eighth vote, however. James X.
Polk, of Tennessee. the dark hor2e,"
made his entry in the race by receiv-
ing A votes. The score now stood:
Van Buren, 104, Cass ia, Buchanan >.
Calhoun .. and Polk A.
Polk had not been even talked for
the presidency until after the opening
of the convention, but a few of his
friends had previously urged his nom-
ination as a candidate for the vice
presidency. The appearance of his
name on the right ballot was, there
fore, considerable surprise. both 10
the delegates and to the party lead
ers. 1t seemed. however, as though
he was almost universally recognized
as the only man TO pacify the warning
factions and lead the Democrats TO
success, for on the ninth ballot there
was a stampede in his favor. The
vote on this ballot stood: Polk 233,
Cass %. and Van Buren, ?.
So sudden was the change that the
Democratic leaders in Washington
hA taIa nh
over the first commercial between
Washington and Baltimore, refused to
believe he had been nominated. The
wires between Baltimore and Wash
ington had only been completed a day
before the convention opened, and the
Democratic leaders took the ground
that the clicking instrument was a
fake.
The news, however, was later con
firmed by mail. and in the election fol
lowing, Polk swept his party TO vic
tory.
Another historic case of a dark
horse" winning the Democratic nom
ination occurred in 1896, when vii
liam Jennings Bryan, The Boy Orator
crown of thorns and cross of gold
speech, sweeping the convention of
it's feet by his eloquence and winning
the nomination hands down on the
fifth ballot. This was probably the
most dramatic example of convention
stampeding in the history of either
part.
When the Democratic national con
vention met in Chicago on July Z
1896, for the purpose of nominating 9
candidate for president of the United
States, the delegates were overwhelm
ingly pledged to the cause of free sill
yer. 1t seemed inevitable, therefore
that Richard P. Bland, of Missouri, ia
miliarly known as SILVER Dicl
Bland" because of his advocacy Of
the free silver doctrine, would be the
nominee. For twenty years Bland haC
worked for the cause of free silver
teaching his tenents throughout the
country till he was regarded in man!
quarters as the future political savior
of the people. BY all the laws o.
logic, therefore, he should have beer
the man chosen to head the part,
ticket.
Bland had been proposed as the
Democratic presidential nominee b,
"Pitchfork" Ben Tillman, of South Car
DINA. Tillman's nominating speech
had been a vitriolic denunciation o
the minority of god Democrats ant
had stirred even the friends of FREE
silver to such a pitch of indignation
