A very large mastilT at one end of n leash aiiul a very small girl at the other end formed a combination which at tracted (lie attention of a casual pedes trian In a quiet bide street.

Suddenly, either from a whim of his own or because somebody had been In the habit of taking him there, bo dart- Id through the swinging doors of a corner saloon. The girl looked horri fied; but, clinging determinedly to her end of the leash, she followed her charge, and as the doors swung shut behind her the casual pedestrian heard this exasperated remonstrance: "Oh, darnfound it! Don't you know ladies don't go there? It's only a place for men!"— Philadelphia Ledger. Quee» Feeding. "Come and watch me feed my star fish." The curator of the aquarium led the reporter to a tank where a half dozen starfish tripped over the sandy bottom on slim brown fingers. "Grub time, boys," he said, and he dropped into the tank six mussels. The fish ran to the mussels. Each ap plied his stomach to the hinge at the back of the shell. Silence and Immo bility ensued. "The gastric juice of the starfish," said the curator, "is now melting the hinges of tlesli that hold the mussel shells together. Ah, look, there's one melted now. There's another. It's the most powerful gastric juice in the world." One by one, their hinges destroyed, the mussel shells opened, and into the openings the starfish thrust their stom achs. More silence, more immobility. Then, a little plumper at the heart, the starfish went tripping daintily off, but the mussel shells lay open and empty on the sand.—Cincinnati En quirer.

CAMERON COUNTYIPRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3l 1908 BIG TREES. The Cloud Piarci-iig Sequoias of North ern California. The sequoia in Humboldt is the tall est tree ia the whole I'nited States. Hut the tourist, from the east or west knows it not. What would ho say to the information that in the northwest of California grows a mighty continu ous forest of these great trees and that it takes days to travel merely from end to end of that forest, which is longer than the distance from Boston to Xew York or from Chicago to St. Louis. Yet such Is the case. On the ridges and flats of Humboldt ' is the forest, and in that forest the , trees grow to twenty-six feet in diame ! tor and tower 400 feet toward the sky. Do yon know what those figures mean? Measure the room in which you are now sitting. If it is a very large room, the longest dimensions would just about contain one of these great trunks. Look out of your window and see the people more than a city block away. That is the distance from which one sees the topmost bough of ¥ these stupendous giants. The redwood of California is the j great tree of the Pacific coast. Two j thousand acres of it exist in Oregon i along the Cheteo river. South of the I Cheteo a continuous redwood belt be : gins and increases in width from ten I miles at Del Norte county to eighteen or twenty miles and keeps on un broken to southern Humboldt county. Here is a g;p. but in Mendocino the 1 belt become d-ise again and widens ■ out to thirty-live mile.;. South of that 1 county th ■ tree grov ■ in isolated ■ patches.- TJumboldt St Mulard. THE MIGHTY LION. j It Is Easy Enough to Scars Him if You Know Just How. If a lion or a tiger suddenly appears I before you, just hold a chair out in j front of him, and he won't do a thing, i Allen Williams, who, in the course of ; his experience with wild animals has been in that predicament often enough i to know, says: "These creatures have j a much more limited intelligence than is generally supposed. They can take i in only one thing at a time, and the \ .our legs of a chair would keep any ! lion busy thinking for a long time. "That is the reason why animal j trainers carry two whips when they ; are in the circus ring. One for erack | ing and awing the performers, the oth er for emergencies. If one of the lions tries to attack him the trainer simply holds the reserve whip in front of him. j The two objects together are too much j for the lion's intelligence, and he is im- I mediately subdued." Another proof of the limited Intelll j gence of the cat tribe, say trainers, is i the fact that their performances must j always come in the same order of suc ! cession. If by some accident the order is broken, the animals are completely lost, and the trainers are few who can keep them in submission once they be come confused. In fact, most trainers consider themselves lucky in a case of this sort if they can get the lions j quietly back into (heir cages. The whole cat family, moreover, is i as treacherous as it is stupid.—Milwau kee Sentinel. Amount of Rainfall Over the Earth. | The discussion of observations on I rainfall made first by Sir John Murray • and later by Bruckner and Fritsche I permit* an estimation to be made of I the mean rainfall on continents, which is found to be about thirty inches per year. The rainfall on the ocean is more diflicult to measure, but: it has i been estimated by Supau, and Fritsche. | taking account of all the known facts. | estimates the mean annual rainfall for i the entire surface of the earth at about j thirty-six inches. Making use of this I number, it is easy to calculate that the I total rainfall amounts to -ltit million millions of metric tons per year, 1,272 thousand millions of tons per day. 53,000 millions of tons per hour, 583,- 000,000 tons per minute or 15,000,000 tons per second.—Scientific American. Simple Method of Cooking Cabbage. The simplest and quickest methods of cooking cabbage are the best. Cab bage must be trimmed and well wasb ! cd in cold, salted water, then cut into j quarters and tied together again with ! a string before going into the sauce | pan, because the heart is more tender ! than the outside and uniform softness is desired. Have plenty of boiling | water with a heaping tablespoonfnl of | salt to the half gallon of water. Let ! it be boiling when the cabbage is put | in and cook it with the lid off, and if j it be fresli it will keep a good color. The time depends more upon the age I than the size—from twenty to forty minutes.—Delineator. A Crab Habit. * Catch a fresh crab, mash the end of i ene of its claws and watch with what j -fierce wrath it will tear off the muti lated member. Is it pride that causes him to do this bit of surgical "work, or ; Is he afraid of blood poisoning, or is it because the maimed claw might ob -1 struct his speed or entangle him in the submarine botany? The crab is an In i teresting creature and, like Ids big ! cousin, the lobster, is as scrappy as a i game bantam, often losing a limb In a | scuffle.—Exchange. His Society. The west side woman observed an j old darky in violent altercation with | the driver of a cart. "What is the matter?" she asked, i"I done tell 'im lie cayn't 'buse dat 1 hawse," said uncle excitedly, "an" he j say it none o' my business an' 1 done | tell 'im I'se a inemboh ob de human I bein' society."

What is called the longest will on •ceord is thai of Captain Hobert Iveayne, iiunder of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Bo ton. It contains tiljout oO.t 00 words. Print ed and ii' nd, it would make a good sized rnl' comparing favorably in length v.\.i arfy a novel of the pres ent day. In its voluminous proportions this will is in striking contrast to one pro bated In Xew Orleans a number of years ago. in which the testator dis posed of its earthly possessions in five words—namely, "Mistress ltoper is my heiress." The original of Captain Keayne's will is carefully preserved in the vaults of (lie register of probate of Suffolk county. In volume 1 of the record of wills probated it. covers 140 pages, and it is recited in the will that the document was drawn up In the handwriting of the testator. While Captain Keayne. who v.- s originally a merchant tailor in Loudon, left it fortune of fair proportions for his day, it. is of interest to note that tit the present day fortunes of millions of dollars are frequently disposed of in complicated trusts by only it few hun dred words.—Boston I'ost. Chivalry and Fatness. FTave you never noticed that great personal hulk and chivalry go almost always together? Well, they do. and I am reminded of a circumstance that happened long years ago. There was in congress from the state of Alabama a gentleman named Dixon Lewis. lie was notorious for his stoutness as well as for his court.mess and abilities. This gentleman was a Virginian by birth, hut removed early to Alabama, which state he represented during Several terms of congress and was in the sen ate at the time of his death in 1848. Biographers relate of him that one time after the adjournment of con gress he was on his way home in a steamer that was wrecked and while he had an opportunity to do so refused to take a seat in a small boat been use his great weight would jeopardize the lives of others in the boat, and, al though for a time he was in great dan ger, lie was at last-rescued. There was a noticeable combination of chivalry and fatness.—Washington Past, Famous Epicures. In the ceiling of the dining room in Nero's "golden house,"on the Palatine lilll, were compartments inlaid with ivory which revolved, showering per fumes and flowers on the guests. Flowers were presented to the guests by slaves. They were crowned with wreaths. Usually after one course the tables were removed and others placed before the guests. Throughout the meal drinking continued until the ban queters fell under the table stupefied. In those days men lived to eat. Great generals spent fortunes accumulated in years of warfare in gratifying their appetites. Lucullus on one dinner with Cicero and Pompey spent 50,000 drachmas, or .$7,000. rithylus, who was famed for the delicacy and origi nality of his dinners, wrapped his tongue in linen when not using it. That he might better appreciate flavors of the viands lie had it cleaned with fish skin before dining. Earthquakes as Warnings. The belief that earthquakes are signs or warnings owes its origin in part to prophecies in the Bible, where, for ex ample, we read that "there shall be famines and pestilences and earth quakes" as portending future calami ties. Earthquakes have led to the abo lition of oppressive* taxation, the abo lition of masquerades, the closing of theaters and even to the alteration of fashion. A Xew England paper of 1727 tells us that "a considerable town in this pwivince has been so far awakened by the awful providence in the earth quake that the women have generally laid aside their hooped petticoats."— Nature. • Rule of Three. "Well," said a persevering governess, "I will put it in another form. If it takes one servant nine hours to do the entire housework of a family bow long will it take three servants to do it?"
