Urn Victim of a practical Joke Tramp Days Alans Utter Crack la Search af aa Animal That Had Bcoa Dead *000 Years. [Bill NyeJ Several years ago I had the pleasure of joining a party about to start ont •long the banks of Bitter Creek on a hunting expedition. The leader of the party was a young man who had re- * with a large he desired experiment with on the people of the far West. Be had heard that there was an ichthyosanrns up somewhere along the west side of Bitter Creek, and he wanted us to go along and help liim to find it. I had been in the West some eight or nine years then and I had never seen an ichthyosaurus myself, but I thought the young man must know his business, in I got out my Winchester and went along with the group. We tramped over the pale, ashy, glaring, staring stretch of desolation, through burning, quivering days of monotony and sagebrush and alkali water and nching eyes and parched and bleeding lips and nostrils cut through and eaten by the sharp alkaline air, mentally depressed and physically worn out, but cheered on and braced up by jthe light and joyous manner of the over-hopeful James Trilobite Eton of Concord. James Trilobite Eton of Concord never moaned, never gigged back or shed a hot, remorseful tear in this powdery, hungry waste of gray, parched ruin. No regret came forth from his lips in the midst of this mighty ceme­ tery, this ghastly potter's field for all that nature had ever reared that was too poor to bear its own funeral ex­ penses. Now and then a lean, soiled, gray coyote, without sufficient moral courage to look a dead mule in the hind foot, slipped across the horizon like a dirty phantom and faded into the hot and tremulous atmosphere. We scorned such game as that and trudged on, cheered by the hope that seemed to spring eternal in the breast of James Trilobite Eton of Concord. Four days we wallowed through the unchanging desolation. Four nights we went through the motions of slumbering on the arid bosom of the wasted earth. On the fifth day James Trilobite Eton said we were now getting near the point where we would find what we sought. On we pressed through the keen, rough blades of the seldom bunchgraas, over the shifting, yellow sand and the greenish gray of the bad-land soil which never does any­ thing but sit around through the ac­ cumulating ceftturies and hold the world together, a kind of powdery poison that delights to creep into the nostrils of the pilgrim and steal away his brains, or when moistened by a little snow to accumulate around the feet of the pilgrim or on the feet of the pilgrim's mule till he has the most of an unsurveyed "forty" on each foot, and the casual observer is cheered by the novel sight of one homestead striving to jump another. Toward evening James Trilobite Eton gave a wild shriek of joy and ran to us from the bed of an old creek, where he had found an ichthyosaurus. The animal was dead! Not only that, but it had been dead a long, long time! James Milton Sherrod said that "if a college education was of no more use to * man than that, he, for one, allowed that his boy would have to grope through life with an acedemical educa­ tion, and very little of it" I uncocked my gun and went back to camp a sadder and madder man, and, though years have come and gone, I am still irritable when I think of the five days we tramped along Bitter Creek searching for an animal that was no longer alive, and our guide knew it be­ fore he started. I ventured to say ^ J. Trilobite Eton that night as we all sat together in the gloaming discussing whether he should be taken home with us in the capacity of a guide or as a remains, that it seemed to me . a man ought to have better sense than to wear his young life away trying to have fiin with his superiors in that way. "Why, blame it all," says James, "what did you expect? You ought to : know yourself that that animal is ex­ tinct!" "Extinck!" says James. Milton 'Sherrod, in shrill, angry tones. "I should say he was extinck. That's what we're kickin' about. What gallded me was that you should of waited till the old cuss was extinck before you come to us like a man and told us about it. You pull us through the sand for a week and blister our heels and condemb near kill us, and all the time you know that the blame brute is layln' there in the hot sun gittin' more and more ex­ tinck every minute. Fun is fun, and I like a little nonsense now and then just as well as you dp, but I'll be eternally banished to Bitter Creek if I think it's square or right or white to play it on your friends this kind of a way. "You claim that the animal has been dead goin' on 5,000 years, or some such thing as that, and try to get out of it that way, but long as you knew it and ire didn't, it shows that you're a low . cuss not to speak of it. "What difference does it make to us, I say, whether this brute was or was not dead and swelled up like a pizen'd steer long before Nore gotiiis zoologickle show together? We didn't know it. We haven't seen the Salt Lake papers for weeks. You ase your edjecation to fool people with. Mv opinion is that the day is not far distant when you will wake up and find yourself in the bottom an untimely grave. "You bring us 150 miles to look at an old bone pile all tramped into the ground, and then say that the animal is extinck. That's a great way to talk to an old man like me, a man old enough to be your grandfather. Probably you cacklate that it is a rare treat for an old-timer like me to waller through from Green, River to the Yallerstone and then hear a young kangaroo with a moth-eaten eyebrow under his nose burst forth into a rollicking laugh and say that the animal we've been trailin' far five d%ys is extinck. "I just want to say to yon, James Trilobite Eton, and I say it for your good and I say it with no prejudice against yon, for I want to see you suc- eeed, that if this ever happens agin and Jrou are the party to blame, you will wake up with a wild start on the follt riii' day and find ^ourself a good deal ex- tincker than this here old busted lizard is." ; According to the calculations made :i;a scientific writer lately, it requires » prodigious amount of vegetable matter to form a layer of coal, the estimate be­ ing that it would really take a million years to form a coal bed 100 feet thick. The United States has an area of be­ tween 300,000 and 400,000 square miles a( Jialda. 100 000 (MM) tan& af aaal "VT"* " »!'!)*"•* » 11 'y1 ye*r, or enough to riitt|y||||.«N»und tboearthat the equator five and one- half feet wide and, five and one»half feet thick, the quantity being sufficient to supply the whole world for a period of 1,500 to 2,000 veata. When the coal is burned for illuminating purposes, the estimated waste is some ninety per cent.; in the heating of houses, 67 per cent, is lost. , A Word to Mothers. The mother who brings her girl child np with no practical knowledge of the art of correct housekeeping, no habits of industry, no sense of the duty she owes to the world at large, and which she can safely pay to it through her little world at home, is committing a deliberate sin against the usefulness, the peace, the happiness, and often the very virtue of her child. And yet, how many daughters are being brought up in that way all over the country ? They have no duty ex­ cept to themselves. They have no mission except to marry. Beyond that ? Well, beyond that they do not care to look. Having no dowry, they must needs marry poor men and become a burden. They can give nothing but their personal charms to lighten. These, alas! soon fade, and with no safe, steadfast anchor which only habits of industry exercised for the result (the reward that well-directed industry al­ ways brings) can afford to man or woman in temptation, or that can keep them from drifting out to the turbulent waters of vicious habits, they become driftwood with no direction of purpose, or wantons whose only purpose--idle­ ness and selfish indulgence--hurries them on to destruction. And yet it is passing strange that the mother, who alone is responsible for this result, both by her actions and pre­ cepts, by what she says and does, and what she leaves unsaid and undone, does not see the error of her ways, if not in the failure of her own life, then in the discontent and ruin that is sown broadcast in society all about her. Does she fondly imagine that curses which wreck others' daughters will be harmless upon hers ? Does she believe there shall be an open exception in her case to the inexorable laws of cause and effect ? Does she imagine all the seeds of idleness she is sowing in the life of her daughter will not germinate speedily and ripen to a fearful harvest? Very often she is only careless, un­ observant, unphilosophical. She lives a day at a time. Brought up with no high sense of duty herself, she has al­ lowed duty to drive her with a merci­ less goad. The days swim away with her, as she is kept in a continual strug­ gle to keep pace with events. She has no chart of life. She is always behind with her work--does nothing that is not imperatively necessary to be done, and her daughter is too old to learn before she realizes the necessity of teaching her. It is well said the mother holds the destiny of the race in her hand.* If she will only realize her mission in all its high and holy possibilities during this generation, the millennium will dawn on the next. No matter how the boys grow up if only the girls are stanch and true, have a mission and know it and love it for itself and its results, the world is safe, and missionaries can have a long holiday.--Pitts burg h Sunday Traveler. What a Pennsylvania Lad Accomplished. Nothing, in the long run, commands a higher reward in the world than perse­ verance and thoroughness. Here is an incident in point: A young lad in Pennsylvania, who was supporting himself as a sten­ ographer, studied in his leisure time the art of photography. Photography has been a craze for years past with American boys, and tens of thousands of yonng lads are going about taking pictures. Most of them, however, grow tired of the pursuit in a short time, and give it up, without, probably, having made a single creditable picture. But this boy was as anxious and careful with the amusement as if his livelihood depended on it, and studied not only the practice, but the theory, of the art. An exhibition was given in Philadelphia, a few years ago, of all electrical discoveries and machinery. Among the exhibits was a photograph of a storm. This boy disoovered that no one had ever succeeded in photo­ graphing a flash of lighting. He resolved to attempt this scientific feat, which was pronounced impossible. The lightning must paint its own likeness, hence the photograph must be taken at night. For two years, whenever there was a storm he put on a waterproof and carried his camera to the roof of the house. The prepared plate was put in, and turned to the quarter of the sky from which the flash would probably come. But the light­ nings, no more tamed than in the days of Job, will not come at our bidding, and say unto us, "Here we are." The lad watched, in the drenching rain upon the housetop, through every stormy night for two years, and spoiled 160 plates in attempting to catch the evanescent flash. But on the hundred aud sixty-first plate there api>eared the Muck sky. riven by a dazzling stream of electric light! For the first time in the history of the world there was a true picture of a flash of lightning. Copies of this picture are now to be found all over the world, and the boy received letters from all the scientific men of Europe, congratulating him on his success. Audubon, the ornithologist, spent hours every day standing up to the chin in the waters of the bayoux of Louis­ iana, studying a certain moth. His wife complained that he had thus brought on congestion of the lungs, and perma­ nently injured his health. "Possibly," he said with indifference. "But there can be no doubt as to the , species of that moth!" We hear much complaint about young men entering life that there is no room for them in any business or profession. There is room in each for zeal and thoroughness, and they never did fail to command success and recognition, even in the making of a picture or the study of a moth.--Youth'h CQUQatlion. A Silly Thing. Young Lady (to her mother)--"Miaa Spillers, I heard, was accomplished^" Mother--"Well, isn't she ? Young Lady--"Not a bit" "Does she understand French?" "Of course." "Music?" "Certainly. "I should think that aha if .ftooom- plished. What fault can you find with her?" "Why, mamma, she writes such a horridly plain hand. Anybody can read it."

The manufacture of solid carbonic acid gas had become a settled industry in Berlin. It is put up in small cylinders, and if kept under pressure will last some time--that is, a cylinder one and one-half inches in diameter, and two inches long will take five hours to melt away into gas. About midway between St. Peters­ burg and Moscow, Prince Putriatin has made the important archielogical dis­ covery of an image of the constellation of Ursa Major engraved on a grind­ stone of the Stone Age, A similar dis­ covery had already been made near Weimar in Germany. A botanist lias attempted to estimate the number of seeds found upon single specimens of some of the most obnoxi­ ous weeds of this country. For shep­ herd's purse he makes the number 37,- 500 per plant; dandelion, 12,108; wild pepper grass, 18,400; wheat thief, 7,- 000; common thistle, 65,366; camomile, 15,920; common purslane, 388,800; common plantain, 42,200; burdock, 38,- 068. In order to settle the question as to the proper treatment for persons who have been frozen, Dr. Laptcliinkski has made a series of very careful experi­ ments upon dogs. He found, that of twenty animals treated by the method of gradual resuscitation in a cold room fourteen perished; of twenty placed at once in a warm room, eight died, while twenty put immediately into a hot bath recovered quickly and without acci­ dent. Skin from the back of a frog has been used by Dr. O. Petersen for hast­ ening the healing of wounds. Grafts of the size of the thumbnail were caused to adhere firmly in two days, and in two days more the pigmentation of the transplanted skin had almost dis­ appeared. The resulting cicatrice is of great softness and elasticity. Some of the London hospitals are now begin­ ning to employ frog's skin as grafts in place of other skin. It has been a matter of extensive be­ lief in France that the drinking of water in considerable quantities has a tendency to reduce obesity, by increas­ ing the activity of oxidations in the sys­ tem, and favoring the burning away of accumulated fat. The error of this idea has just been shown by Dr. De- bove, who has proven that the quantity of water taken has no influence on nu­ trition or body weight so long as the solid diet remains unchanged. Walls laid up of good, hard-burned bricks, in mortar • composed of good lime and sharp sand, will resist a pres­ sure of 150 pound per square inch, or 216,000 pounds per square foot, at which figures it would require 1,600 feet high of twelve-inch wall to crash the bottom courses, allowing 135 pounds as the weight of each cubic foot. Walls laid up in the same quality of brick and mortar, with one-third Portland cement added, will resist 2,000 pounds per square inch, or 360,000 pounds per square foot, which would require a height of wall Of 2,700 feet to crush the bottom bricks. The Dad* : t Has the dude died dut, faded out, been shoved out, driven out 01- laughed out of society? A few years ago he was a distinct race, as it were, a pattern for himself to himself. He was laughed, scorned, hissed, made the butt of jokes, good-natured and invidious, and he went on content with himself, heedless of the opinion of the rabble, proud of his distinctive traits even though they were mostly deformities in fact and gaucheries in dress and manner, True, he might be expected to die oft in a generation, for, like the mule, he was the last of his race and incapable of reproduction, but he cannot have died off yet. Did he go crazy, and so have to be divorced from society by walls and clanking gates? No, he did not go crazy, because that presupposes brains. Did he blow away in a high wind ? No, he did not blow away. He was iight enough, physically as well as mentally, but lie could not blow away because he did not present surface re­ sistance enough for the wind to get hold of. What has become of him ? You see no wide line in dress and manner as used to be drawn between the citizen and mere dude. He could not have died yet, because what there was of him was healthy and hard, the main part being face territory. He could not have died out, what there was of him, because only an epidemic could kill him off so soon, and there has been no such epidemic. He could not have died off, because a generation lasts longer than two or three years. There is only one way to account for his absence, and that is by his presence, paradoxical as it seems. Society has grown used to him, and has uncon­ sciously gone a little way to meet him, while he, with the change of fashion, has covered up his creaking anatomy with commodious garb, and as he always -.vas from necessity a qniet animal he passes in the throng without note for a wise man, except when he occa­ sionally speaks. And now until he runs to the other extreme in garb the dude will be as inoffensive and unnoted to the eye as he is to the ear--when he does not try to talk.--Pittsburgh Sun­ day Traveler. How Xany Apples Did Adam and Ere Eat! Some say Eve 8 and Adam 2, a total of 10 only. We think the above figures entirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam 8 2, cer­ tainly the total would be 18. Scientific men, however, on the strength of the theory that the antediluvians were a race of giants, reason something like this: Eve 8 1 and Adam 8 2; total, 163. Wrong again. What could be clearer than if Eve V 1 and Adam 8 12 the total was 893 ? . If Eve 8 1 1st and Adam 8 1 2, would not the total be 1,623?

Lieutenaut Stanton is & native of England, and was born in Birmingham, the son of John and Winifred Stanton, March 26, 1844, where his father was a well-known book­ binder. In 1842 the latter visited Chicago, and, February 35, 1850, removed his family tj this city, where for eight years the sou worked at the trade of glazier and painter. At the breaking out of the war of the rebellion he pursued that line of industry un­ der the employ of the Government, being stationed at Victsburg and along the Missis­ sippi River. July 28, 1864, he enlisted in the United States navy at Philadelphia, and re­ mained in the service for over three years, being mustered out Aug. 26, 1867. He was on the new Ironsides at both attacks on Fort Fisher, was wounded at Norfolk, and served also on the Chieopee and Marblehead. On leaving the service Lieutenant Stanton remained in Philadelphia for a short time, but later returned to Chicago and joined his father in business. In 1809 lie became a member of the police force, and was stationed at the armory for two years,, resigning m 187L en­ gaging in business until 1873, aud then being elected, for a term of four years, as West Town Constable In 1878lhe again joined the police force, served sixty days" proba­ tion at the Hinman Street Station, was transferred to the Madison Street Precinct, and then, after a most brilliant aeries of detective exploits, was made Ser­ geant, and later promoted to a lieutenancy at his present important post of duty. Lieut Stanton was married at the early age of six­ teen years, Oct 28, 1880, to Miss" Mary Mur­ phy, the daughter of an old and esteemed res­ ident of Chicago. They have seven interest­ ing children, named Mary; John, Winifred, Ellen, Georgo, Agnes, and Frank Stanton.

Simple juggling, such as one does with balls, one could do blindfolded, so certain has the hand become. The ; hand follows the eye, but the hand is • the more important of the two. Sup­ pose I have half a dozen knives in the air; I propel one so as to give it a half turn, another a turn, a third a turn and a half, a fourth two turns, calculating the revolutions of each one as it falls through the air.. Suppose one of them is falling horizontally, instead of verti­ cally, then one gets out of the way and lets it fall to the ground. In teaching a beginner one sets him to work with one bail and one hand--the left It is like teaching a child to xead. He be­ gins with the A, B, C; then forms a word. So it is with the juggler's play­ things. The left hand must be as facile and as sure as the right. If you let your pupil begin with the right hand, it doubles the dilliculty for the left hand. I make it a rule always to use for my tricks the ordinary articles of every-day life. It is more interesting to the public than elaborate apparatus. They can go home and try for them­ selves. I take a candle and a candlestick, or two eandles and two candlesticks, or put an umbrella and stick through a number of aerial evolutions. I even use a washing-tub. It is often galling to the performer to know that the pub­ lic do not understand the niceties and often the extreme difficulties of a trick. To give them a lesson one sometimes purposely breaks down once or twice just at the critical moment. Then the third time the applause is tremendous. As a matter of fact, one is oertain to slip now and then. It is a very differ­ ent thing performing in a room by day­ light and before the fiery glare of footlights. Perhaps my most difficult feat is the one I am doing every night just now with a knife and fork and raw potato. Simplicity again, you see. With the knife 1 cut the potato in two after keeping it up some time, and then catch the two halves, one on the kuife, the other on the fork. That, now, was suggested to me one night at a supper where I was a guest. "Give us some­ thing," the host said; "you can juggle with anything." A knife and fork were on my plate, and a cooked potato.

He has worn the nutmeg ever since, and is seldom tronbled with neuralgia.

A careful comparison of the positions of the stars from one time to another shows in many cases a real motion in space. Really accurate ascertainment of position began in the time of Brad­ ley, who lived about the middle of the last century, so that we have only the records of a little over 100 years on whioh to base our knowledge of stellar "proper motion." European astrono­ mers gave us in the last century several catalogues of stars which are reliable, and the work of comparison with the present places has been undertaken for a number of faint stars, the bright ones having already been considered by an English gentlemen, J. L. E. Dreyer, who has just published the results. By such efforts as his, continued over cen­ turies of time, it will be possible finally to deal intelligently with the great problem of the motion of the universe as a whole. To appreciate the feebleness of any efforts if confined to a single century, it must be remembered that the stars are so immensely remote that but very few of them show any perceptible shifting of place as a resnlt of the mo­ tion of the earth in its orbit. Heuce any motion, rapid though it may be, is soarcely perceptible here. A change of a second of arc a year, which might be a perfectly amazing velocity, would require 1,800 years to carry thest .r over a space in the sky equal to that which the full moon covers. A second a year is a large proper motion.-- Philadelphia Ledger. "Hello!" we heard one man say to another the other day. "I didn't know you at ftrst; why! you look ten years younger than you did when X saw you last* "I feel ten years younger," was tho reply. "You know I used to be under the weather all the time and gave up expecting to be any better. The doctor said I had consumption. I was terribly weak, had night-sweats, cous?h, no appetite, and lost flesh. I saw Dr. Pierce's 'Golden Medical Dis­ covery' advertised, and thought it would do no harm if it did no good. It has cured ma I am a new man because I am a well one." An exchange says lead is an animal pro­ duction, because it is found in "pigs." How Women Wonld Vote.

By druggista Don't Blind the Babies. .Has it ever occurred to those who purchase coaches for their babies, and who make it a point to select the bright­ est colors they can lind for the screen I that is interposed between the eyes writing to Hallett q{ ^ ̂ ̂ ̂ ̂ ̂ ̂ ̂ liable to do irreparable injury to the vision of the little one ? An infant gen­ erally lies on its back, its eyes, of course, upturned toward the bright covering above it, its gaze being the more intense the brighter the covering and the more direct the rays of the sun upon it. Nothing but injury can re­ sult from such thoughtless exposure. Any experienced nurse says there can­ not be a doubt as to the injurious effect of those bright so-called shields upon the tender eyes of children. Parents who are wise will select the darker and denser shades, even though they may not be as handsome or showy in their eyes as some of those which are more fashionable. 25a Chapped hands, face pimples, and rough skin cured by using Juniper's Tar Soap, made by Caswell, Hazard & Co..
