Fred Smith. Allesreu Fick|iuekrt,
Regain** Illw Health.
Fred Smith, who was shot by Special
Officer Hewitt on the day of the G. A.
H. parade, and who has since been at
the city hospital, was brought to the
Central police station yesterday. The
authorities at the city hospital tele
phoned the police yesterday morning
that Smith was making a deal of trou
ble for the attendants at the institu
tion, and, as he was practically well,
it would be a favor if he was taken
away. The wagon was sent out and
Smith brought to the station. Smith
limps slightly from the effect of the
bullet wound received by the hand
or rather the revolver of Special Hew
itt, but otherwise is all right. The
police say that the woman whose
pocket Smith was attempting to pick
is not in the city just now, but can be
brought here if necessary. The chances
are that Smith will be charged with
disorderly conduct and, if he pleads
guilty to that charge, the other will
not be pushed. He will be arraigned
in the police court today.
SALVATION ARMY RALLY.
Nt-\\ i)i\ i-ion « 'inn in under Leads a
RoiiHlngr Meeting.
The Salvation Army held a praise
meeting at the barracks on Wacouta
street last evening, at which Maj. A.
Gifford, of Minneapolis, was the prin
cipal speaker. The room was well filled
when Maj. Gifford began his address,
and he spoke interestingly from the
text "Young man, remember thy Crea
tor in the days if thy youth, and let thy
heart cheer thee, but remember for all
those things the Lord will bring thee
to judgment," for nearly an hour. The
talk was an ardent appeal to the young
men who seek the cities to affiliate with
some Christian organization that they
may keep themselves free from the
evil with which they are beset on all
sides.
Following Maj. Gifford, Ensign U. S.
Potter, who was for several years a
member of the Salvation Army in
Japan, spoke along the same line as
his predecessor and exhorted those
present to respond to the voice of the
Savior before it was too late.
Among the other speakers of the
evening were Mrs. Gifford and Miss
Mills, of Cincinnati, O.
SAYS HE IS ABISED.
GilliuloirfV Claims Thai He Was Not
an Aggrrwor.
John Gilladorff, a quarryman em
ployed by John Moran, and residing on
the upper flats, was arrested last night
by Patrolman Casey, on a charge of
being drunk and disorderly. James
Petrosack was taken in custody at the
same time and charged with the same
offense. At the station Gilladorff
claimed he was on his way home when
he was assaulted by four men. As he
was knocked down he grabbed and held
on to one of the quartette, who turned
out to be Petrosack. He made consid
erable noise and the officer ran to the
scene and placed both men under ar
rest. Gilladorff protested against being
locked up and said he had done nothing
but protect himself, but his protest had
no perceptible effect.

THE ESCAPE OF M I 1.1.1K ARRIGAN
Wiih Mlrnculoua, His Fiicc lii-inn
I'lhmi'il by {he Flying: Lend—
Other Victim Fareci Better.
Willie Arrigan, the ten-year-old son
of Patrick Arrigan, of 318 Walnut
street, was one of the spectators at a
fire on West Fourth street last even
ing. Willie had been on the scene but
a few moments when there was a pis-'
tol shot. The bullet from the weapon
struck him in the right cheek, tore
through the flesh toward the ear, and
after cutting that useful member of
his anatomy in two, struck S. J. Mc-
Mahon, another spectator, in the fore
head.
There was an immense crowd in the
vicinity and the sound of the pistol
shot created a deal of excitement. The
word was passed along that two per
sons had been shot and killed and this
served to make the excitement all the
greater. Willie was taken in charge
by Capt. Rouleau and a pair of officers
and with his face covered with blood
was carried to the office of Dr. Mar
quis on Washington street. Here it
was found that the bullet had inflicted
no serious wound, although It was a
close call. The doctor put five stitche3
in Willies right ear and dressed the
wounds, which operation the lad stood
without a murmur. Willie said he did
not know who it was that shot off the
pistol. He remembered someone say
ing "that's a good revolver," and the
next moment he heard a shot and felt
the blood streaming down his face.
S. J. McMahon, of 284 Williams
street, who was standing behind young
Arrigan, was struck in the forehead
by the bullet after it had left the boy's
ear, but its force was spent and the
I cartridge made only a small lump on
j McMahon's forehead.
The detectives at once began a
j search for the party who fired the shot,
j but he had disappeared, although he
j dropped the weapon on the ground be
| fere skipping out. Frank Sandbitz and
| Joe Bayer, two youths who were in the
immediate vicinity when the pistol was
discharged, explained how the accident
happened and gave the officers a de-
I scription of the young man who dis
charged the weapon.
It was about 8 o'clock when fire was
discovered in the upper story of the
frame dwelling at 130 West Fourth
street. An alarm was turned in from
I box 14 and while the department was
on the way to the scene the occupants
of the house commenced to carry down
and throw out of the windows all the
furniture and effects. The articles
thrown from the windows, included
chairs, tables, matresses, toilet sets and
bric-a-brac of various sorts, and they
were thrown in the yard at the side of
the building, and a* this particular
place the crowd of boys was the larg
est. Among other things thrown out
was a Marline target pistol. This was
at once seized by a youth of about fif
teen years, whose name the police have
not yet ascertained. The boy said some
thing about it being an old timer and
h(> guessed no good. As he said this he
pulled the trigger and there was a re
port and at once a scattering of boys
of various sizes in different directions.
Detectives Murnane and Gruber were
given a description of the lad who shot
off the pistol and also an inkling as to
the locality of his home and started
out to bring him in. The police say no
charge of a serious nature will be made
against the boy, as the affair was pure
ly accidental, but think it advisable to
bring him to the station.
The building, occupied by Charles
Lamb, was sublet to four tenants, and
the loss by fire and water will not ex
ceed $900, the greater part of this being
on household effects owned by the
roomers in the house.
HIS "DEfTEC" WAS A "STALL.."
Gus In mi l.<- ru's Experience With a
"Secret Service" Man.
Gus E. Lundberg, of 2229 Sixth ave
nue south, Minneapolis, was touched
for $50 Saturday night while standing
near the corner of First avenue south
and Fourth street. Lundberg resides
in Minneapolis, but had been up the
road on business and came down from
the rural districts to spend Sunday and
a little money he had gathered to
gether. After losing his money he con
cluded to do a little detective work on
his own hook, and, in the course of his
sleuth work, he landed in St. Paul at
12:30 o'clock yesterday morning with
out his coin, but with what all good,
detectives always gather, namely
clues.
Lundberg hurried into the central
police station shortly after midnight
Saturday night, and, taking Capt. Rou
leau into the private office, told his ex
perience in doing detective work and
asked for the assistance of the St. Paul
police in arresting the parties who had
robbed him.
Lundberg says he was standing on
Fourth street in Minneapolis, about
9 o'clock Saturday night, listening to
a debate between a sound money man
and a free silver advocate. The argu
ment attracted a large audience and
he was standing on the outside edge of
the crowd. He noticed a couple of
women close to him and also remem
bered, after he had discovered his loss,
that they seemed very anxious to get
nearer to the speakers. They were
quite well dressed and in trying to
push their way through the crowd
jostled against him once or twice. He
thought nothing of the matter at that
time, but soon after thrust his hand
into his pocket and found that his
purse was gone. Turning to one of the
women who stood beside him, he in
formed her that he had lost his pocket
book. Lundberg says he looked at her
in a very sarcastic way as he said
this and she pointed down on the pave
ment, and at the same time called his
attention to his purse, which lay on
the ground. He stooped, picked up the
purse and thrust it into his pocket,
thinking "that he might have pulled it
from his clothes and dropped it. Turn
ing to excuse himself to the woman he
found she had gone, and on examining
f^B l^jggj 1 ffjSg^%l j^B£j_ MONDA V, SEPTEMBER 14, 1896.
?h<! foqkfttfWobk^also^ discovered that his
$50 had disappeared. He started out to
make a search for the women, and as
he walked around the streets, notified
each policeman he met of his loss and
also gave the officers a description of
the women. Lundberg haunted Wash
ington avenue for a couple of hours
and finally, as he was about to give up
the chase, saw one of the women tak
ing an interurban car for St. Paul. He
was a block away as the female, who
was now accompanied by a male com
panion, boarded the car, but the hope
of capturing the female pickpocket and
perhaps getting back a part {f not all
of his money gave wings to his feet.
He started at a breakneck speed down
Washington avenue, and, after a chase
of three blocks, caught the car. As
soon as he recovered his breath he
commenced to figure out some plan by
which he could effect the arrest of the
woman he was sure had taken his
money.
He asked a well dressed fellow who
was standing on the rear platform of
the car to change hats with him as he
was afraid the woman would recognize
him by his light colored derby, and he
was anxious to -shadow her and see
where she went. The young man was
all attention, and after hearing Lund
berg's story introduced himself as a
secret service officer, remarking that it
was a most opportune meeting, as he
could be of great service to Lundberg
in making the arrest. He said he would
walk up to where the lady was sitting
in the car and get a look at her and
see if she was a well known character.
The secret service man did as he said,
but he also gave the woman the "of
fice," for at the next street both the
woman and her companion left the car.
Lundberg intended to get off and fol
low them, but while he was looking for
the secret service man the car started.
He did not get the strength of the busi
ness until the car had gone a couple of
blocks, and then it dawned on him
that the secret service man was an
other one of the gang and he had been
thrown off the trail. Inquiring of the
conductor, he learned the car he was
on was the last one which ran to St.'
Paul that night, and so concluded to
continue on to St. Paul and notify the
police at Minneapolis by telephone to
watch all cars from St. Paul and ar
rest the woman.
Capt. Rouleau acted on the sugges
tion of Lundberg and notified the Min
neapolis police, but no arrests were
made. Lundberg was at police head
quarters yesterday morning and left
a description of the two women with
Chief of Detectives Schweitzer. He also
gave a description of the bills which
made up the $50 which he had lost, and
then went back to Minneapolis. He An
nounced his intention of playing the in
terurban car for one or two evenings
the coming week to see for himself if
he could not run against the woman
or the secret service operator.
WERE STEALING PLUMBING.
Three Lads Are Arrested «n That
Charge.
Detectives Sweeney and Daly, of the
Rondo street station, yesterday ar
rested three lads, who, it is claimed,
have been for the past three months
tearing lead pipe from vacant houses
and selling the plunder to junk deal
ers. Something like twenty houses
have beeu torn to pieces by the youth
ful vandals, and the aggregate dam
age done to the property Is in the
neighborhood of $3,000. Numerous re
ports and complaints have been macle
to the police by the owners and agents
of the houses from which the plumb
ing has been cut out, and the detec
tives have been on the lookout for the
offenders for over a month. Last
Thursday a couple of houses on Ex
change street, which were tenantle3s,
were broken into and all the plumb
ing and parts of the bath tubs were
cut out and carried off. Detectives
Daly and Sweeney went to work on the
case and ascertained from .a resident
in the neighborhood that several small
boys were seen about the place on the
day the houses were looted. They
visited all the old junk dealers in the
city, but could not find anything which
led to an apprehension of the van
dals. The officers finally decided to
keep an eye on a couple of the places
where old iron and such stuff was pur
chased and the result was that the lads
who had been doing the work were
captured.
Lieut. Pothen, of the Central station,
in speaking of the matter yesterday
said the amount of damage done by
the kids would amount to several
thousand dollars. He did not know
how many houses have been torn to
pieces, but complaints had been com
ing in all summer. So bungling was
the work that in several instances it
cost the owner or agent of the houses
$200 to repair the damage done by the
thieves.
The lads arrested yesterday were
John Lescinski, Charles Younett and
John Setra. They are all under thir
teen years of age and reside with
their parents on the upper flats near
the Smith avenue bridge. Lescinski
and Tounett were locked up charged
with larceny, and Setra, who will be
used as a witness, accompanied the de
tectives to point out a couple more
of the gang and also to give pointers
as to where the property had been
sold.
The detectives who have been work
ing on the case say that the lads sold
the stolen pipe to a pair of junk men
who drive about the city with wagons
for two cents per pound. Agents of
the buildings which have been de
spoiled by the young vandals will be
called on to take out warrants, not
only for the boys, but also for the
parties who have made it a practice
to buy the lead pipe and other junk.
From a woman who lives near one of
the places where the boys sold their
plunder, the detectives -learned that
it was nothing unusual to see four or
five boys each day bringing loads of
pipe and fixtures to the junk dealers
in small wagons. One of the boys ar
rested yesterday said they sold forty
pounds of pipe Saturday afternoon
and were paid two cents a pound for
it.

Fully 300 members of the German
Catholic Order of Foresters yesterday
participated in a rellgous ceremony
which consisted in the dedication or
blessing of the new banner of St.
Agnes' court. St. Agnes' court is the
youngest court of the order in the city,
and upon the recent acquisition of a
handsome banner, and in conformity
with the custom of the Catholic Forest
ers' order, yesterday was chosen as the
day upon wrhich the emblem should re
ceive the blessing of the church. Each
of the other German courts was in
vited to take part in the ceremony, and
at 2 o'clock St_ Peter's Court No. 101,
St. Matthew's Court No. 367, St. Hu
bert's Court No. 541, St. Agnes' Court
No. 459 and St. Martinus' Court No.
550 assembled at the corner of St
Peter and Exchange streets tp march
to St. Agnes' church, corner of Lafond
and Kent streets, where the services
were to take place.
When the column had been formed
in three divisions, with a brass band
at the head of each, the line of march
was taken up St. Peter street to Uni
versity avenue, thence to Kent street
to Lafond street. Upon arriving at the
church, members of societies auxiliary
to the Catholic Foresters increased
the crowd which gathered about the
edifice to nearly 500 people. It was im
possible to hold the services in the
church, and the new banner was con
veyed to the balcony of the parish
school house, from where the addresses
of the day were delivered.
Rev. Father Trobec, pastor of St.
Agnes' parish, spoke the words of wel
come to the assembled Foresters, in thje
course of which he emphasized the fact
that the banner which was about to be
blessed was a symbol of the unity
which should exist among the mem
bers of the ord:er, and that they should
subordinate other things that they
might be indeed true brothers.
The sermon of the occasion was de
livered in the German language by
Rev. Father Siolnce, pastor of St. Mat
thew's parish, West St. Paul. He
spoke of the necessity for such an
order, which had given birth to the
Catholic Order of Foresters, and de
tailed its rapid growth in the com
paratively short time of its existence.
There had been other Catholic benevo
lent societies, he said, but there had
come a time when a new order was de
manded which should possess all of
the advantages of such, an organiza
tion, and the Foresters had risen up to
take this place. Brotherly love, the
speaker said, was the corner stone of
the organization, and in order that this
spirit might prevail there was a solemn
obligation upon the part of every mem
ber to perform his duty conscientiously
as he knew it to be. All good works
should be encouraged and the members
of the order should be living examples
of good In their respective parishes*.
There was a duty to the church and
the pastor in the performance of which
the Foresters could literally follow out
the fundamental principles of the
order. In conclusion the members of
the Foresters' order were exhorted to
affiliate themselves with the St. Vin
cent de Paul's society, which was char
acterized as the noblest of Catholic be
nevolent organizations.
Following the sermon the banner
was blessed by Rev. H. Smalien, chap
lain of St. Agnes' court. The ceremony
was unostentatious and consisted
simply in the offering of a short prayer,
at the conclusion of which the full
choir of St. Agnes' church rendered t%
sacred anthem.
When the dedication exercises weTe
concluded as rftanjf- of those present as
were able to gain admission entered
the church, wfiere' the regular evening
service, consisting *W the benediction
and prayers, was ''conducted by Revs.
Trobec, Solnce?, Smalien and Koto
witch. "Grosser Go'tt, Wir Loben Dich"
was sung by tfce entire congregation.
At the conclusion of the blessing of
the banner the Foresters who had at
tended the ceremony in a body again
formed in line and marched down town.
At the corner of University and West
ern avenues, St. Agnes' court, which
led the colurrm, Separated, while the
other courts marched between the two
lines, saluting rfthe banner with bared
heads as they passed. St. Agnes' court
then fell out Qf the line, while the re
maining courts marched to the start

WILD WEST IN SIGHT.
It Finds a Resting Place in Minne
apolis.
Buffalo Bill's Wild West show drove
stakes yesterday afternoon in the old
Blaisdell farm, after a long jump from
Ashland, and will spend two days in
Minneapolis before removing to St.
Paul, where it will spend a similar in
terval on the open field at University
and Victoria avenues.
Col. Cody himself was not in evi
dence to the disappointed throngs of
spectators who watched the raising of
the tents with interest, having gone
from the train directly to the West
hotel, where he registered from "Big
Horn Basin." Friends of the colonel
say that he would probably have trou
ble ringing in a vote in any corner of
that basin, it is so long since he was
there, but there has recently been es
tablished in that locality a community
known as Cody City, so that the least
the veteran scout can do in return for
the courtesy w to become a nominal,
if not an actual, resident.
Col. Cody is ; not . the ruddy-cheeked,
sun-burned frfonttersman of pioneer
days now, but the? gray hair does not
betoken failing health. Buffalo Bill is
still hearty, although not as obese as
was the case a few years ajjo. His
participation hi tne programmes of
each day has a tendency to keep down
accumulations of adipose tissue. Des
pite the changes" that time has
wrought, his merest; entrance into the
rotunda of the West yesterday was the
signal for the gathering of a motley
company of curious gazers, who crowd
ed about that ( tail figure, with its
wealth of silvery &air tucked as far
as might be inv/the brown of a typical,
although jaunty r sombrero. All the
hobnobbings he has had with princes
and potentates, the fetes of royal
courts and the sumptuous banquets
of millionaires have failed to sever
from his unique personality that
marked flavor of frontier life which is
Its chief charm. He is certainly not
unaccustomed to the luxuries of hotels
even as magnificent as the Minneapolis
pride, but he nevertheless looks out of
place, and one feels that he ought to be
in full spurred array on the back of
the well-blanketed sorrel that was
almost as tenderly cared for at the

interesting by reason of his beauty
than by the fact that he was a present
to Col. Cody from Gen. Nelson Miles.
Owing to the late arrival of the
trains the tents of the Wild West
were not up as early as usual yester
day. The 600 horses were under shelter
early in anticipation of a possible re
sumption of the rain, and the mess tent
was up in time for supper.
The Indian tepees, of course, were
erected with little delay, and were sur
rounded thereafter by an interested
throng of boys, men and bicycle girls,
who watched and waited for a furtive
glimpse of the copper-colored warriors.

at Westminster chapeL Dr. Smith is
not much known in London, this being,
we believe, the first time he has essayed
the big village, but he has a message,
and a strong one, too, to men and to
doubters, as his choice of subject would
suggest; and he is a man of such strik
ing ability and originality that his au
dience has grown with grea;t rapidity
Sunday by Sunday, which is rather a
phenomenon in the "holiday" month.

ADVANTAGES
Science Will Secure From Studies In
the Arctic Regions.
Appleton's Popular Science Monthly.
To ascertain with greater precision the
shape, size and density of the earth the
astronomer's base of measures, and thus
render the science of surveying more ac
curate, ten pendulum observations near the
unknown extreme of the arc are worth 100
elsewhere. Observations on magnetism es
pecially near the magnetic pole, will benefit
the thousands of ocean vessels, which largely
depend for their safety on the precision with
which the compass can be interpreted. To
the meteorologist the arctic is of special im
portance, because It presents the extremes
of a world-embracing system, each of whose
parts affects every other. Tides and cur
rents are similarly Interdependent. The au
rora can best be studied where it is most
common and most fully developed.
Observations on the character and behavior
of plants and animals under the unique
conditions of the arctic will give to the stu
dent of organic life a more thorough mastery
of his problems. To that end the hydro
graphy must be known (depth of sea, tem
perature, water movement, sea bottom, sa
linity, light). The arctic affords the best
facilities for studying one set of geologic
forms of glaciers, icebergs, frost Assuring
in their extreme manifestation. The condi
tion of the earth in past geologic epochs
will not be fully known until the strata of
the arctic lands have been mapped. To the
paleontologist the arctic has already yielded
most valuable information in the fossil evi
dence of a mild climate. Lockwood and
Bralnard found the slopes of Western Qrinnell
Land studded with large petrified tree stumps.
These and similar fossils, precious to mv
i scums or geologic cabinets, can probably be
reached by way of Hayes sound. To the
! ethnologist the Eskimos represent a phase of
human life without a parallel.

A PORTRAIT'S EYES.
Why They Follow an Observer
Aronnd the Room.
Notes and Queries.
Wollaston's curious discovery was that
by adding to each pair of eyes a nose di
i rected to the right or the left of the eyes lose
their front direction, and look to the right
or left, according to the direction of the
nose. By means of a flap representing the
lower features in a different position, as Dr.
Wollaston remarks, "a lost look of devout
abstraction in an uplifted countenance may
be exchanged for an appearance of Inquisit
iveness archness in the lear of a younger
face turned downward and obliquely toward
the opposite side."
As by changing the direction of the lower
featureß we change the direction of th»
eyes, so by changing our position the eye
of the portrait apparently follows us. If
a vertical line be drawn through the tip of
the nose and half way between the eyes,
there will be the same breadth of head, of
cheek, of chin and of neck on each aide of
this middle line, and each iris will be in
the middle of the whole of the eye. If we
now move to one side, the apparent hori
zontal breadth of every part of the head
and face will be diminished, but the part*
on each side of the middle line will be di
minished equally, and at any position,
however oblique, there will be the same
breadth of face on each side of the mid
dle Hne, and the iris will be In the center
if the whole of the eyeball, so that, being
on a flat surface, the iris will be seen in
front of the picture or obliquely.
Brewster illustrates the subject in various
ways, and to him we refer, as well as to
Wollaston's original memoir, in Phil. Trans,
for 1824.

Accidents to Birds.
Now York Sun.
There are a good many ways in which wild
animals come to their deaths by accident.
In the season in which nests are built those
birds that use hairs and strings in the con
struction of their homes are occasionally
killed by being noosed by a fibre of nest
material.
It is related of ,a wild turkey gobbler, a
patriarch of the 'Mississippi bottoms, that
it was leaping up to reach the berries, and
came down with its neck in the fork of the
bush, and there it died. It was found a while
afterward by hunters.
A snake once caught itself in a rat trap.
It forced its heed through the wires and
grasped the rat. When it tried to pull out
its head It could not do so, nor could it
loosen its bald on the rat.

Of Course It Was.

"Was that a successful elopement of Willie
Elmore's and Maud Biggie's?"
"I think so. Her father wired them not to
come back and he'd forgive them."

MRS. HENRIETTA PORTAW PROBA
BLY FATALLV SCORCHED IN
HER HI ll\l\<; HOME.
AHRIBUTED TO GASOLINE.
THOUGHT THAT THKHK WAS A
L.X.AX IN THE STOVE OR
TANK.
SHE ENTERED THE HOI SK l.Alia
And Almost Immediately Whn
Found in the Midnt o* Flume*—
Death Seema Inevitable.
Mrs. Henrietta Portan, forty-two
years of age, living at 481 Thomas
street, was taken to the city hospital
last night at 11 o'clock in a dying
condition. Mrs. Portan occupied the
story and a half cottage at the num
ber mentioned, but, during the ab
sence of her husband, who is at work
In Wisconsin, slept at the house of
a neighbor across the street. She
cooked her own meals at home, and
during the daytime spent the greater
part of her time af her own home.
She was of a very nervous tempera
ment, and, being afraid to stay alone,
arranged to sleep at a neighbor's house.
Last evening about 10 o'clock she made
a visit to her home to secure some
wearing apparel, telling the lady with
whom she roomed that she would be
back in a few moments. Five min
utes after she had left fire was dis
covered issuing from her residence. An
alarm was at once turned in, and the
residents who were attracted to the
scene were horrified to see Mrs. Por
tan run from the house with her cloth
ing all on fire. Neighbors succeeded
in extinguishing the flames by wrap
ping the women in bed clothes, and
she was at once taken to the city
hospital in the Rondo street patrol
wagon. Despite the most excruciating
pain, Mrs. Portan was able to talk
and between her moans explained that
as soon as she entered the front door
of the house she smelled smoke. Open
ing the door to the front room of her
dwelling, she was knocked down by
the rush of flames which poured forth
from the room. The entire apartment,
she said, seemed to be in a blaze. The
doctors at the city hospital say that
there is little chance for the woman's
recovery, as her entire body, with the
exception of the upper part of her
chest and left shoulder, is terribly
burned. The origin of the fire is un
known, but is supposed to have started
from a leak in a gasoline stove, and
the supposition is that when Mrs. Por
tan entered she struck a match which
caused the blaze. Peter Portan, hus
band of the burned woman, is a brick
layer by trade, and is at present
working in Wisconsin.
The fire was extinguished by the
department with but little loss to the
building or contents.

An Anaoonda'l Fast.
"Dr. Tanner's famous fast of forty days
is thrown into the background as a starva
tion feat," says the Philadelphia. Record,
"by the performance of the big anaconda at
the zoological gardens, which wag only re
cently tempted to eat a nice fat rabit after
going hungry twenty-two months. It may
have been even longer, but the keepers have
no record of the creature's dolng3 previous to
its captivity, and so can't tell. It is not
very unusual for a snake to abstain from
food for several months, at the end of which
time death generally results; but the ana
conda's case is distinctly different from any
other. Its fast lasted over twice as long as
any in the history of the 'zoo,' and during
the whole af its continuance there was no
evidence of ill health. The spell now seems
to be entirely broken, and the anaconda calls
regularly for its meals."

Origin of Short Wolrk Day.
The Journal dcs Debats denies that the
eight-hour day originated with modern labor
agitators. It was first put into effect by
Philip of Spain, a monarch whom nobody
will describe as a social democrat In his
instruction to the viceroy of the ludlas the
king said: "The workmen employed in the
erection of fortresses and in the royal fac
tories shall work eight hours per day only,
four hours fn the morning aad four hours In
the afternoon. The engineers must see that
the time for work is such that the men are
exposed as little as possible to the heat of
the sun, and that their health is preserved
as much as possible." The order Is dated
Dec. 20, 1593.

How He Described It.
New York Recorder.
It takes a business man to describe a
costume to his wife. A busy son of com
merce, after seeing a very taking dress on a
very taking young lady recently, informed
the partner of his joys: "It was fine. The
dress was made of some kind of cloth, with
some sort of trimming. It was sorter lilac,
or shrimp pink in color, and had for a waist
some kind of basque that was indescribable.
She wore one of those hats you sometimes
see on women, and altogether gave an effect
that I wish you could have seen."
_^_
Good Reanon for It.
Puck.
"Why are you putting such big words In
that challenge?" asked the eminent pugilist
of his private secretary.
"They are Jaw-breakers, sir!"
The explanation was quite satisfactory.
