One of the most remarkable human curiosities ever seen has just been ex amined by M. de Quatrefages, the French naturalist. He is a Provincial, named Simeon Aiguier, and is 80 years old. Aiguior, thanks to his peculiar syctem of muscles and nerves, can trans form himself in most wondrous rasmon. He has very properly dubbed liimBelf "L'Homine-Protee." At one moment, assuming the rigidity of a statue, bis body may be struck sharply, the blows falling as on a block of stone. At an other he moves Ids intestines from above and below and right to left Into the form of a large football, and projects it for ward, which gives him the appearance of a colossally stout personage. He then withdraws it into the thorax, opening like a cave, and the hollow look of his body immediately reminds one of a skeleton. Aiguier successfully imi tates a man subjected to the tortures of the rack, as also a man hanging himself, and assumes a striking cadaverous look, What most astonished M. de Quatre fages wat. the stoppage of the circula tion of the blood, now on the left and now on the right side, which was effect ed by muscular contraction.

Tho Only "Mayflower" lie Knew Of, I heard a curious imposition which was practised by a Bostoniah of yacht ing proclivities upon a friend from New York, whose knowledge of yachts, and indeed seagoing vessels generally, waa limited to the barest acquaintance with their general characteristics. The two friends were on the steamer Puritan, of the Fall River line, and as they were admir ing the delicate decorations in white and gold that are such an improvement on the old time methods of cabin ornament ation for such craft, the Bostonian call ed the other's attention to the painted vessel that stands out against a glowing sunset above the stairway in the main saloon, and has upon the canvas the word "Mavflower." As every visitor with nautical or historio knowledge is aware, this vessel is the Mayflower of our Pilgrim ancestors. But the fun loving Bostonian called his friend s attention to it as a representa tion of the famous yacht that carried off thebonors for the old Puritan town, and was naturally amused when his sugges tion was taken In earnest, qualified only by the remark, "I don't see how such a lubberly looking craft could have won a race."

"I waa in Hugo at the time and was playing billiards when a man came in and began to make a disturbance. He was a well known desperado ana no one was anxious to get into trouble with him.

Hearing of a new town In the mountains, a town of which great tldngs were expected, he decided to establish a newspaper thero forthwith. no borrowed some money to ado, to his meager capital, and started alone for the field with his little hand-press and type and paper in a wagon. The Journey was about fifty miles In length and mostly up hill, The muddy road made the traveling slow and difficult, so that it was almost dark when, on the second day, he came within sight or the new town still five miles dlstuut.

ARIZONA WATER STORAGE. Flans Perfected for Turning Arid I.amla Into Fertile Farms. Arizona has no lack of arable laud. Hundreds of thousands of fertile acres He uncultivated and unproductive all ovor the territory, needing but the touch of water to bloom with luxuriant vege tation. The mind of man is turned to ward schemes for supplying the suffi ciency. The smaller streams of Arizona are all of ono class, running ruiiest m the spring and almost falling in the summer. Those that run into the plains sink In the sands, and are lost for the major portion of the year. The question naturally arises, Why not store the win ter water In suitable catchment reser voirs, to bd spread on the thirsty lands at the time of the drought? This proposition has been appreciated, as ia Bhown by the location of dam sites for water storage purposes in many parts of the territory. The Walnut Grove dam, owing to faulty construction, was a lamentable failure, but before it gave way showed by the fine body of water Impounded the entire practicability of the scheme. The Florence Canal com pany has just finished an exteuslve res ervoir in Pinal county to assist In the irrigation of the lands adjacent to the Casa Grande. Among the projected reservoirs that have been located for the improvement of the landB lying below one of the most important is that upon Now river, about thirty miles northwest of Phoenix. It is situated where New river debouches on the plain. The projectors are John King and W. C. Collier, who have been quietly working on the enterprise for years. The dam will neea to bo uenny nail a mllo in length, 820 feet in thickness on the bedrock, 90 feet broad on top and 75 feet hiirh. Hydraulic lime for the man ufocture of cement, limestone and other rock for the construction of the dam are at hand in abundance, and can be cheap ly ouarried. Estimates from civil engin eers of repute tlx tpe cost of the worn at less than $300,000. With the height of dam proposed the water would cover an area of eight by four miles, there being but little slope to the valley above. The supply of water from the spring freshets of the river Is deemed ample, but as precaution levels have been run to Hud son creek, Castle creek and the Agua Fria, and it has been demonstrated that it is practicable to divert at low cost the waters of those streams into the reser voir. The Agua Fria, at the point tapped, flows the year round. All danger of overflow can be avoided, as a natural spillway exists at the proper height two miles back from ihedam, conducting the water over a low bridge Into the valley of the Aaua Fria. The land sought to be irrigated Is real ly a continuation of this valley, and era braces over 75,000 acres of excellent soil Many claims have already been filed In expectation of the benehts of tne dam. About eight miles farther to the west of this dam site and over a ridge Is the location of a similar enterprise of fully equal magnitude. It is the property of the Agua a ria Water anu Liana com pany, composed of L. H. Orme, J. P, Orme. J. D. Moniuou, jn. u. juurpny ana William Hancock, all of Phoenix. The dam is to be situated at the narrow gorge of the Agua Fria, 800 yards above the Frog Tanks hotel. The walls of the can yon at thin point are but 800 feet apart to the height of seventy-nve leet, ana above this gradually retreat from the stream. The proposed dam is to be 175 feet high, with an ample width and length on top of about 1,000 feet. It- will not be difficult of construction. All rock and lime needed can be obtained right at hand. A dam of the dimensions stated will back the water up stream a distance of ten miles with a depth at the mouth of ' Castle creek of 125 feet. At a point two miles above the dam the reservoir will be three and one-half miles in width besides extending for some distance up Castle and Humbug creeks. The ca pacity of the reservoir is estimated at 40.000.000,000 cublo feet of water. This amount will supply for twelve months canal carrying 40,000 miner's Inches of water and allow for an evaporation of 25 per cent. The natural flow of the Agua Fria will more than supply this amount every year. The main canal will be taken from the river on the east side about one and one- half miles below the Frog Tanks station It will run along the slope of the river bottom for a distance, emerging on the plain three miles below the Tanks. The land to be irrigated comprises about 75 000 acres. It is of excellent quality, especially adapted to the growth of cit rus fruits, Fhoenlx uepuoncan A 'Wealthy Proprietor, The Duke of Northumberland is one of the largest landed proprietors in Great Britain.

Tndigestion IS notronly a distressing complaint, of itself, hut, by causing the blood to become depraved and the system en feebled, Is the parent of innumerable maladies. That Ayer's Surgaparilln, is the best cure for Indigestion, even vhen complicated with Liver Complaint, Is- proved by the following testimony -from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockwuy Centre, Mich. : "Liver complaint anil Indigestion made my life a burden and came near endlhg my existence. For more than four years 1 suffered untold agony, was reduced almost to a skeleton, aud hardly had strength to drag myself about. All Icinds of food distressed me, and only the most delicate could he digested at all. Within the time mentioned several physicians treated hie without giving re lief. Nothing that I took seemed to do any permanent good until I commenced the use of Ayer's Sarsnparilla, which lias-produced wouderfnl results. Soou after commanclng to take the Samapa rllla I could see an improvement In my condition. My appetite began to return and with It came the ability to digest oil the food taken, my strength im proved each day, and after a few months of faitllful nttentiuu to your directions, I found myself a well -woman, able to attend to all household duties The medicine has given me a new .lease of life."

What thfi small boy who haunts City Hall park does not know about the Ins and outa of human nature Is hardly worth knowing at all. He understands among a great many other valuable things that tho elderly and well to do citizen generally likes to see a fight, and afterward, regretting his yielding to brutal longing for scenes of gore, is ready to make amends in some way or other. Tills fact received a practical demonstra tion a day or two ago. Two newsboys, dirty, ragged and shrewd, as Is usually.the case with the urchins In tho park, stationed themselves where homeward bound Brooklynitcs would be sure to see them. These boys were not of a size. One was fairly plump, the other was a weazened bit of humanity, but he understood hi, business thoroughly. They played their farce neatly and very much In this fashion: Tho larger boy bears down upon the other, cuffs him, uses disgraceful lan guage aud tears Ids papers. Tho at tacked youth drops the papers and re turns the compliments verbal and pugi listic. There is a clinch and the small boy goes down. By this time several Brooklynitea have halted and a little crowd haa collected. Then the battle is renewed. The youngsters seem to strike out viciously, but few of their blows tell, Again the smaller boy goes down. He comes up pluckily again and once more ho Is worsted. He squeezes a tear or two from his eyes, picks up his torn papers and begins to wall. His stock in trade is ruined, and he must go supperless to bed. Two or three bystanders put their hands in their pockets. They have been entertained In rather a disreputable way, and remorse suggests atonement in the way of help ing the youngster out of his troubles, In no time his stock is disposed of, and he isn't naked to make change. A park policeman, attracted by the sight of the orowd, is approaching, and the little fel low, pocketing his gains, slides away. Mia antagonist has already disappeared, There are two scenes in the last act. One is on the steps of the bridge. Two or three men are taking a look at the newspapers they have just bought from the urchin. Tho inspection is not all that might be wished in its results. The papers are two or three days old. The other scene is in a cheap restaurant not for from the park. Two boys who have but just now been engaged in seeming ly desperate combat are seated sociably at the same table. "We ll go some pie, too, Jimmy," remarks the smaller. "I tell yer, that's the greatest racket I ever worked on the suckers." New York Times. Too Much Money for a Picture. Meissonier's picture of Napoleon In 1814, only 80 inches by 20, has just been sold for 84,000, the highest price ever given for the work of a living artist. The art world naturally exults over this solid proof of appreciation; but we won der whether it really benefits by these prices even In a pecuniary sense. We suspect not. It Is found in the literary world that an overpowering demand for a single book arrests the sale of books in general, the reservoir of cash for buying books being in any one year a fixed quantity. If that economic rule extends to art, M. Meissonier's phenomenal tri umph just prevents thirty-four artists from receiving 1,000 apiece. That may be good or bad for art we are not decid ingbut it limits sadly the number of art producers, among whom might be found, If we may in the teeth of the market suggest so audacious a possibil ity, even M. Meissonier's superior. That the huge price will help JI. Afeissonier to paint still better 1b an assumption re futed by all art history. Spectator. German Government In Africa. German territory iu East Africa is placed already under a most careful sys tem of administration. Zanzibar Is the headquarters for the imperial commis sioner, Maj. Wissman, and the main staff, while each coast station is under charge of a commanding officer, respon sible for both the political and military mangement. These officials send an elab orate report monthly to headquarters, while, at the same interval, the commis sioner visits each station for a personal Inspection. Four steamers, with whale boats, gigs and smaller ve33els, keup up a regular service for passengers and malls between the various stations and Zanzibar. The military forces comprise 807 officers, 1,200 SottJunese troops aud 500 Zulu and Arkati soldiers, besides a body of Souiulis for polico duty, and are divided into two corps, for duty respect ively in the north and south, each in charge of a Bub-commandor. Hospitals are established at Panjanl and Baga moyo. Exchang.?. A Guod Ruvur Sti-oji. Few persons know how excellent a razor strop is the human hand or arm. If a razor is in fairly good condition ntul not in need of the oil btone it may sjon be whetted to a fine edge on tho palm of the hand or the inner side of the forearm. Tho latter is best if it is free of hair, as It frequently Is, for it presents a whetting surface quite as long as the ordinary razor strop. Tho fat portion of the palm, between the little finger and the wrist, however, makes an excellent strop. The process of strop ping a razor on the forearm appears tt bit alarming to the looker on, though there is little danger that a skillful man will do himself harm. New York Sun. Don't Wear a Soft lint. I write against the evil of wearing soft hats, I have made this a careful atudy and have found that the soft hat wlU eventually produce baldness. The band of the soft hat being so soft and flexible that it very readily falls Into every line aud curve of the head, it thus excludes every particle of air, thereby producing an intense heat and rotting the roots of the hair. I flud that the healthiest hat for a man to wear is the Bilk hat, both summer and winter, not only on account of fhe stiffness of the band, which pre vents it frotn falling so close nto a man's head, but Wcause the space which, fs in side of it allows a free circulatiqn of air. In England, for instance, thero are, not nearly so many bald headed people as there are in this country, even in pro- rirtton tq the population but here are groat many more silk hats worn there. The young men begin to wear then there at the age of 18 years. To sliow you the difference in the pro duction pf silk hats here and in England I find fron the statistics that England) With 3 populatlpu pf abqut 8Q,O$0,0OQ in habitants, has employed in tJia manu facture of silk bate about 8,000 men, while tho United States, with a popula tion of more than 60,000,000, haa only about 600. Can you wonder that there are so manv bald headed men here? Due to Carelessness. At the battle of Bull Bun Governor Alger met a breathless soldier fleeing with the rest of the army toward Wash- in)m. The soldier had a wound on iGT face. ."That's a -bad -wquud, my man," said (.he governor as the soldier halted l "where did yoij'get tf" "Got it at tha Bull Run light yeeterday, "But how could you gethlt in the fac at Bull Uun?'
