Control Large Territory.

Juarez, Mexico, April 4.-With the
taking of Torreon by the rebels last
night constitutionalists now control ar
immense wedge-shaped portion o.
Mexico, with the point resting on
Torreon, 500 miles south of here, and
the top extending along the Amerl-
can border from Nogales, Ariz., to a
point just west of Eagle Pass, Tex.
At Piedras Negras, known also as
Ciudad Porfirio Diaz, across the Rio
Grande from Eagle Pass, there is a
federal garrison, but it does not now
constitute a menace to the rebels.
The states now subject to the rebel
arms are Chihuahua, Sonora (excep;
the port of Guaymas), most OF Goa
hula, Durango and Sinaloa.
The victory is said to make the can
ture of Saltillo and Monclova in Goa

state of Nuevo Leon, assured.

lustrated by the granting of a con-
cession for a tramway line between
Jerusalem and Bethlehem, and for the
sighting of Jerusalem with electricity,

company of Jewish capitalists has

Twice the rebels took two of the
hills, only to lose them, but all the
time the attack was becoming more
formidable as the soldiers, attacking
from all sides except the west, fight
ing from house to house, drew tho
circle closer about the enemy.

most continuous.
Both sides used armored trains
These, with big guns mounted, would
suddenly appear around an elbow OF
one of the hills, discharge a broad
side and then retire. Early in the
attack on Gomez Palacio the trains
ventured out at the same time and
lively exchange of shots ensued, like
q naval enga cement on land.
The federals made use of hugo
rockets, which were shot TO a grea
height, exploding in the air, and let
! ting down a hail of buckshot.
On the fourth day of the fight tbs
intense suffering from heat anf
thirst was relieved by rain, thought
to have been brought on by the heavy
firing.
During the battle scouts brought
words that federal reinforcement

Chum Saved Himself.

A little dog, unlicensed, had been found
in the streets and taken to the pound.
He was an atfectionaie animal and greatly
endeared himself TO all about the place.
They called him Chum, and he ioytuIly
responded whenever his name was called.
As the days passed other poor, homeless
dogs were put TO death. Finally came
Chum's last day OF grace, and no one had
come TO claim him. The next morning
dawned, and The man who was 10 Kill
Chum called him into the yard. Chum
danced and wagged his tail, no doubt
thinking something good was in store
for him. The man then said: 'Well,
Chum, your time has come. You'd bet
ter say your prayers" Immediately the
little forepaws were crossed, the little
head bowed, and Chum said his prayers.
As the little body was still in this attitude
OF reverence a step was heard. The at
tendant looked up and saw the superin-
tendent standing there. There were tears
in the eyes OF each. Chum Is still living,
but instead OF being nobody's dog, he is
now everybody S dog.-S. Louis Repao-

How Animals Are Married.

Surprising though the statement may
seem, it is fact, borne out by the careful
study OF scientists, that practically every
torn OF marriage contract known 10 men,
from free love 10 the Soulmate theory,
can be found in the animal world, says
London Tit Bits. Male animals even
have their bachelor clubs, and that won
derful naturalist, Ernest Thompson Sc
ton, has related how little societies OF
animals are established among the deer
and anteIopes. These societies usually
consist OF three or four young bucks,
which range and feed together in perfect
friendship. They are quite happy until
some lady intrudes. But once doe APP
pears and joins the herd, goodby 10
peace. The brothers fight among them
selves while the doe looks on and enjoys
the sport, until one of them drives the
others off and goes away with her.
There are four distinct forms OF mar
rage among homogeneous animals. The
first one closely resembles thetrial mar
riage, and is the type represented by the
moose. The male selects as she pleases
him, and when she no longer charms, ne
promptly divorces her and finds another
mate.
The second type OF animal marriage is
that which lasts during the breeding sea-
son only. Some animals seek their mates
again next season, but among rats. rab-
bits and squirrels the separation is per-
manent, although among foxes, coyotes
and smaller animals the father, who pre-
sumabIy hates the worries OF domestic
life, usually stays away until the children
have been reared and then returns.
The third type of animal marriage is
that common among wild geese, pigeons
and probably owls. The union lasts
through life, and if one OF the pair dies
the other never seeks second mate, but
mourns dtsconsolately till death.
The fourth type Of marriage is the near
est approach 10 the ideal marriage life,
and, curiously enough, is found most
commonly among wolves. Wolves mar
ry for life, and only the death OF one
leaves the other free 10 marry again.
Furthermore, there is even genuine
display OF chivaIry and affection between
such animals. II is recorded that two
wolves in the London Zoo were very
jealous OF each other and frequently quar-
relied. One day during an unusually iuri-
Gus dispute, the male approached the ie-
male angrily as il 10 bite her, but just as
he reached her he stopped as if held
back by something within him. The ie-
male then approached timidIy, gently
licked his face, and domestic happiness
was once more restored.

since their kit furnished The necessary

orange When the upper side had been
denuded of IFS blubber covering, the
whale was turned over by means of the
"canting winch" and the other surface
flensed in the same manner.
Both flesh and bones were piled sep
arateIY into great open vats, which bor-
dored the carcass platform, and boiled 10
extract the oil. The flesh was then
artificially dried and sifted, thus being
converted into very fine guano, and the
bones pulveriZed 10 form "bone meal, !"
also fertilizer. Even the blood, Of
which there are several tons in large
whale, was carefully drained from the slip
into troughs, boiled, dried, and convert
ed into fertilizer. Finally the water in
which the blubber had been tried out was
used in the manufacture OF glue.
Few people realize that whale flesh
supplies the greatest part OF the meat diet
ofthe ordinary Japanese. It's prepared in
a variety OF ways, but perhaps is most
frequently chopped finely, mixed with
vegetables, and eaten raw, dressed with
brown sauce. Almost every part OF the
great carcass is utilized for human con-
sumption, even the tenddnS, heart, liver
and inteStineS being priced by the cocks.
In America and other countries the
commercial value of whales depends en-
tirely upon how thoroughly the by-pro-
ducts are utilized. If only the oil is taken.
blue whale may be worth little over
$500, but if the entire carcass is worked
up, it may bring 81 600 or 81 800, accord
ing TO the price OF oil and guano.

<"Let me have your jewels before you

spoke with her accustomed authority.
"The only jewel | have" replied the
patient, "is one that must keep"
She held up her left hand, and showed
tiny gold cross tied by ribbon about
tine palm. al always keep this TO hold
on by"
The woman had been operated on
again and again, as her disease progress
ed. Yet she bad never lost her courage
or her patience. In the little cross she
had something 10 ''hold on" by.
That is what we all need in time OF trial
or temptation. The secret OF all effective
resistance is comprised in holding on. "
Severe trial, real temptation, almost al
ways makes the head swim and the heart
sink. Ii is then that we need something
to which we can cling. So long as the
pain or the alurement does not overcome
the power of reason, there is no danger.
Neither hurt nor forbidden pleasure has
really taken hold. But when temptation
becomes so strong that it can make evil
look like good and good like evil, then
we must have help.
There are many men who feel the ter
rble temptation to drink and yet come
home sober, simply because they keep
before their minds the faces OF their chill
dren. There is many boy in the great
cities who manages to keep honest and
undefiled, amid dishonest and unclean
surroundings, because OF the mothers
| letter that he carries in his pocket.
That way of meeting temptation was
the way OF the young Carpenter OF Pales-
tine, who became conscious that He was
king, and who, in the wilderness, de-
fled the worldly spirit that tempts kings.
In that struggle, He held tight to the word
OF God. Each OF the three temptations
! He answered flatly and directly by quo
tation from Scripture. That was the way
that Christ held on.

The Medicine That Helped.

Imagination must always be reckoned
with in medicine sometimes as friend,
sometimes as foe. A certain doctor,
says the Washington Star, treated an old
woman for typhoid fever. On each visit
he took her temperature by putting a
thermometer under her tongue.
One day, wden she was nearly well,
the doctor did not bother 10 take her
temperature. He had hardly got one
hundred yards from the house when her
son called him back.
"Moiher is worse" said The man.
Come back al once"
The doctor returned. As he came into
the sick-room the old woman looked up
at him with angry and rcproachful eyes.
Doctor" she said, why didn't you
give me the iigger under me tongue to-
day2 That always did me more good
than all The rest OF your trash"
