A Matter of Gender.

The bell Of Scottish church was
giving out very poor tone, and a
committee was appointed to inquire
as to what was wrong and to report
on the best means of putting it right.
After an examination the members
were divided in their opinion, and the
kirk officer, who was in attendance
with the keys, was asked his view.
Fine, A ken what's wrang WI the
bell" he remarked. Its a she-yin, -
meaning that it was of the feminine
gender Pressed to explain. he added.
"Its tongues owre lang-it's needin'
to be clippitw And this turned out
to be really the fault. The tongue had
become loosened to the extent of an
inch or so and was overlapping the
curve at the rim and therefore not
striking truly.

When Dead Men Ate,

In the medical press is a story Of a
man who believed that he was dead
and who for that reason refused to
take nourishment. How can the
dead eat and drink?" he asked when
food was pressed upon him. 1t was
obvious that unless something were
done to bring him to his senses the
delusion must soon become actuality-
he would die of starvation. The stran-
gest ruse was tried. Half a dozen at
tendants, draped in ghostly white, crept
silently in single file into the room
adjoining his and with the door open
sat down where he could see them at
a hearty meal. Here. who are these
peopleY' inquired the patient Dead
men," answered the doctor. "Whatv'
said the other. do dead men eat?"
ITO be sure they do. as you see for
yourself" was the answer. "Well."
said the corpse, ''if that is so I'll join
them, for Pm starving" The spell
was broken, and he sat down and ate
like forty famished men.

FERoCIOUS DOLPHlNS.
Marine Monsters That Are Known as
Whale Killers.


There really is such q sea monster
as the whale killer. 1t is one of the
largest and most ferocious Of all the
dolphin family. 1t also is known as
the grampus. 1t is characterized as a
genus by its large size and the conical
and depressed head, devoid Of a beak.
The back fp is Of great length, espe-
cially in the males, and the flippers are
large and broadly ovate.
The teeth are comparatively few
in number, varying from ten to thir-
teen on each side of the jaw, and are
much larger than in any dolphins yet
noticed, being often an inch or more
in diameter and having an oval Sec
tion. The coloration is striking, the
upper parts and fins being black, while
the lower jaw, chest and under parts
are whitish.
The white area of the under parts
does not, however, extend to the fukes,
but ends posteriorly in trident, of
which the lateral and shorter prongs
extend obliquely upward on the TANKS.
There is a large white streak above
and behind the eye, and frequently at
least purple crescentic area extends
across the back behind the fin. The
killer attains length of at least twen-
ty feet.-St. Louis Times.

LOBSTER AND BUTTERFLY.
Widely Apart In Appearance, They Are
Close Relatives.


You would hardly think it to look at
them, yet the lobster is a relative of
the butterfly. The kinship is not mere
ly that of two members Of the animal
kingdom. The lobster and the butter
fly are actually in one and the same
great group of the kingdom, like the
clam and the snail or the whale and
the giraffe, whose spheres Of activity
are so widely separated.
1t Is simply, as Darwin pointed out
in the case of all other creatures
great many years ago, that the lobster
and its friends, the crab, the prawn
and the shrimp. chose one method of
life. while the butterfly and its set
chose another.
So the first group developed charac-
teristics suited to the conditions in
which it lived. including as one of the
most important. as its members do
not move rapidly, a coat Of armoE TO
protect them from their innumefaHe
enemies. while the butterflies and the
great host of other winged insects
shed every bit of super6uous weight.
trusting to swiftness to carry them out
of danger and to protective coloring
to conceal them when fight is un-
availing.-London Family Herald.

Bagley Cannery Only Waiting Ripen.
ing of Crops.

The Bagley cannery opened few
days the last of the week to put up
some beans which were contracted
and is now all ready for operation
on peaches and pears, which will be
ready for the pickers in few days
now.
They report that there is a demand
for more women and girls, as this
kind of help appears to be scarce.
DR.. Bagley was out in the sur
rounding country the first of the
week looking up and making con-
tracts for peaches, pears and apples.

SANCTUARY IN. ENGLAND.
The Principle Still Survives to a Linn
tied Degree.


Much water has flowed under Lon
don bridge since the British criminal
could defy the strong arm of the law
by the single expedient of escaping to
the nearest church or hospital and
claiming the protection Of the ''sanctu-
ary," for down to the early Stuart
days Great Britain had thousands of
just such refugees for the criminal,
/ from cathedrals and royal palaces to
scores Of towns and cities. where the
man guilty of felony could laugh with
impunity at the officers of law and
justice for a period ranging up to
forty days. If within that time he
chose to go before the coroner, clothed
in penitence and sackcloth. and con-
fess his guilt, he was free to quit the
realm without any hand daring to
stay him.
Although no such asylum exists to-
day for the criminal, the principle Of
the sanctuary" still manages to sur
vive. This privilege refers only to
civil offenses and not to crimes as in
the olden days, and yet the privileges
are Of considerable value.
| No clergyman can be arrested with
in the walls of his church or while he
is going to or returning from his duty.
Bishops and archbishops are still more
protected. for not one Of them can be
| hailed before magistrate even though
the cause is crime. unless the king
especially commands it. Nor even up
to the present time has any warrant
an effect within the precincts of any
of the kings palaces.-Chicago Trib
une.

Doos of BeIoiun

Belgian dogs that are harnessed to
carts often work themselves to death.
They may enjoy their work for time,
when they hurl themselves into the
collar to drag the milk cart (and often
the lazy mllkman as well as his cans),
but they do not enjoy the ensuing pa
ralysis. The sight Of dog dying Of
starvation in the streets because bis
paralysis jerked him away from food
every time he attempted to take 1t is
not conducive to happy memories OF
Belgium.

Lighting Bsg Esplsised.

Al last the lightning bug secret has
been laid bare. A scientist has come

pound called iuciferin. produces Iy-

So IL is to be seen that the zymosis
Is what really causes the light. But
We should like to ask the learned man
who has given us this childishly sim
pie explanation. what would the poor
bug do IL he went out into the night
far from home and suddenly discov-
cred that he did not have any zymosis
In his tank: And what would he do
II he were out on . lonely road and
his luciferin went dry and his luci-
f-rase blew up!

About 4 o'clock at night there came

blown up the city water main. Cap

entire company to the scene OF the
disaster. We had only proceeded .
few blocks. dropping a few pickets

with orders to stop everyone who
tried to go In or out OF the city.
When We were about u quarter Of
mile from the blown up water main
he fun commenced. and bullets began
to ~hix all around. We could not
see the enemy but could Judge about
where they were located from the
fire that spitted from their rifle bar
rels. Part OF our company returned
fire and the enemy retrcated to the
hiils-into the thick blackness Of the
Rocky Mountains. There was no
one injured In our company and no
one on the other side as far as we
know.
