I'arcella « Tbo foretaau at the Star ranch bad cotuo up to the bouse In the middle of the afternoon on some errand, and as he passed the cook house where Lung Sing was scouring his pots and pans be heard a sound that caused him to stop iu bis tracks and exclaim: "Well, I'll be banged'" I.ung Sing was whistling. lie bad been cook at Star ranch for over a year and had never been beard to whis tle before: Indeed, he never bummed, never smiled, never talked unless di rectly Hpokeu to. He was put down as surly and crossgraincd, but as be was a good cook nml as none of the men cared a copper whether ho talked or not he still held his place. "What's the matter?" asked Colonel Spear's wife, who was mistress of the ranch, as the foreman finally reached the d*»or. "That heathen back there Is whis tling." * "Well, can't a heathen whistle?" "There is no law against It, hut I.uug Sing has been here over a year, and , this is his flr.it toot. Wonder what has happened to chirk him up?" "I can't say. I had him in here an hour ago and told him that he'd have to take the buckboard tomorrow morning and drive over to Plue llrtl to meet Fannie Williams. She's coming on to etay with us a month or two. you know. Tbey think something Is the matter with Ler lungs, and the doctor has ree , ommpiided this climate. The colonel I has jrot to go over to Wolf Creek, and, I of course, the rest of you arc busy." "But—but I don't 4ike the Idea," said | the foreman as he scratched his bead. 1 "Why don't you?" "Because Lung Sing is whistling. When a heathen whistles look out for him." The woman laughed and turned away! and a minute later the foreman was walking off. lie passed the cook house again, and the Chinman wns still whis tling softly to himself. "He's at it again, and I'll bet he's up to some deviltry. I'll tell the boys to keep an eye on him." As soon as he had cooked the men's breakfast uext morning I.ung Sing set out on bis ten mile drive to the rail road. lie was givt-n many words of caution by the colonel's wife, and be promised over agaiu to drive slowly and bring the girl and her trunk safely to tbe raneli. His face was as Impas sive as a washboard until he bad left the boust- half a mile behind him; then he puckered bis mouth and began to whistle. Between whistles he grinned and smiled An hour tiud a half luter be drove up to the little station on tbo plains, and when the train came In bis passenger stepped from one of the parlor cars. Lung Sing welcomed her with a grunt. He grunted again ns he put her bag gage aboard the vehicle, and be put on n blank look as the station agent said to tbe girl; "I suppose he's tlio cook over at the Star and they sent him because all tl«> others were busy." "Oh, I'll excuse him," biugbed the girl «s she settled herself. And next moment Lung Sing was driving away. It was In June, and tho weather was cool and pleasant, urn! the girl almost forgot tho uian beside her its mile after luilo wus passed. Ouce or twice she was conscious that he was whistling, but as she didn't know whether China men usually whistled or not she did not give the matter n second thought. She hnd been Informed by letter that the drive front the station to the ranch house would not occupy over two hours at the farthest. That meant her ar rival by uoou. Her watch showed her when that hour had como round, but she could jjeo no sign of civilization. Iu fact, oho saw that the vehicle had left the road, taicli as it was, and was pro ceeding over tbe unniark .1 plains. "Are WJ almost there?" site HHUMI ll* she turned t>> {..itujj tftu* and spoke {of t'ii< nest time since leaving the station. "Lille while 11 lie while," he replied as ho stared straight ahead, "But liow Is It !«U» t y u o wff the road ?" "Load alio light." A mluute later tho Chinaman was whistling. It wasu't tlio holiest wliis tlo of an American, hut there was something hypocritical ami deceiving ttbout It. Tho girl had nothing further to nay. The man would not Uuvo been sent If lie hadn't been all right, and If ho had left the track It was probably to tako a short cut and roaeii the house all the soonev U was not until ller wntvV. marked I o'clock and the Y«ilclc was being driven among 111* scrub pines and cedars, along a st retell of foothills, that the g!>l turn**! and gelzcd Lung Hlng by tlio arm and ex claimed; *'J know you are not taking me to tho ranch house! What do you mean by tills?" "Alio light-alle light," replied tho Celestial as he hurried the horse for ward. "But it is not all right! -Let me out ut once!" He seized her with one hand to hold her lu the seat while he guided the horse with the other, but In the strug gle tho animal was reined Into a tree, and the vehicle stuck fast. Tlien Lung Slug developed the plot that had been working In his brain over sluce tho moment lie was told that lie must drive over for tho visitor. WltU a tier en scowl on his face, In Jtis pigeon English he ordered tlio girl to nroeccil In it curtain illrortUin I'ur. ty rods beyond where she had left the buck board thero was a rocky bluff hid den under tlio eedar* and In the bluff a cave of considerable dimensions. Upon enteritis: the cave he tied the girl's he well treat ed, but she would be held captive In tin* rave until results could be brought about. Lung Sing raited on his right *ldo and elbow as ho told his story. The sun had got far iu the west, and as It shone over the hill forming the roof of As the story was finished. a:id it had j beta listened to without a word In re- ] ply, Lung Sing began to whistle, lie had brought his plot safely thus far and felt that he had a right to whistle. As he whistled a new shadow appeared aiuou*; the shadows. It fell upon the flat stone at the Chinaman's heels ami was so clean cut that the girl dretv in her breatii at sight of it. She knew it for the head of a great .cat. The head moved to and fro, and the ears worked backward and forward, and all the time the man lying there was whistling to himself. lie may have wondered why the captive did not shed tears and ap- I>eal to his mercy, or he may have men tally praised her for the bold front she put on. She was ready enough to weep, and she would have appealed but for that shadow. It fascinated her and for the time being made her oblivious of her situation. Sometimes It disappear ed for a moment, but always to reap pear and to seem to grow larger and be come more menacing. By and by Lung Sing ceased to whistle and said: "I tlie you up again and go away." He had lifted himself off his elbow when there was a scream so fierce that the hills rang, aud a tawny body alight ed on the recumbent Chinaman, strug gled with him for a moment and then was gone from sight among the cedars. The girl rose up aud stared, but Lung Sing was gone as well. The big moun tain Hon had carried him off as easily as a cat carries a mouse. "Didn't I tell you?" said the foreman of the Star ranch at midnight that night when the girl had been found wandering on the plains and brought In by a searching party. "It isn't In the nature of a Chiuaman to whistle. He just sulks and grunts. When you find him whistling, look out for him, for there'll be mischief to pay In some shape." Sleelj nrils Still Popular. "It beats me," said a clerk in a hard ware store, "how the old fashioned steelyards hold their own. I can re member how popular they lr. Hay, "and tell him to call tomorrow." "Mr. Hay, you are admitted," said the gentleman, and with a hearty laugh from all present the proceedings closed. Knew He Wn* Worshiped. "In Paris Mr. Whistler and an Eng lish painter got into a very turbulent argument about Velusquez at a studio tea," said an artist. "Mr. Whistler at one point In the argument praised him t.clf extravagantly. The Englishman, listening, sneered, and said at tho end: " 'lt's a good thing we cau't see our lelves as others see us.' " 'lsn't It, though?' said Mr. Whistler. 'I know. In my case, I should grow In tolerably conceited.' " A COLOSSAL GORGE. t'he ViliMmr HeuuUe* of the Grand < mi you of Arlcona.

If you want to grqw more plants than one I tub will accommodate, it is a good "3 plan to take four, five, six, or as many as you may decide on, and have them V: sunk in the ground close together, so that the general effect will be some- 3 thing like that which a large tank would give. A better plan, though a more expensive one to carry out, ia to have a tank constructed of hesrry planks.

The word "ironmonger" has as curi ous an origin as any other word In the English language. It means literally « an eater of iron and came to its present " : use in this way. There was once a law gj that forbade buying fish to sell again, : f and the fish hawkers, who still carried on their trade in spite of this law, were facetiously termed fish eaters or fish mongers, for, to evade the law, their , large purchases of fish were said to |». for their own consumption. Gradually the term monger was applied to other iff trades, as cheesemonger, until at last It came to mean any middle man, as- j distinguished from a manufacturer, and so was applied to the dealer In hard- | ware.—-London Graphic. HOSPITAL RELICS. * , j Odd Tiling* to Be Seen In a Great London rcMnhlixliinent. If the reader can Imagine the cure of every one of the 5,000,000 to 0,000,000 persons living in London of some ail ment or disease he holds in bis mind's -i eye a true picture of the vast work done by Guy's hospital since its founda tion. The south sea bubble, like many J another financial catastrophe, ruined thousands of citizens, but it enabled Thomas Guy, who sold his investments in the the great advantage of -t|l other people as well as himself to found the institution which bears hia | name nnd to restore to health (down to . the present time) ovcis6,ooo,ooo human beings. Among the many curiosities exhibit ed in the famous museum at Guy's is a i large piece of cardboard bearing the *"*; remnanta of thirty-five pocketkMves, which were swallowed by an American sailor. His name was John Cummlnga, and he was admitted to tho hospital In 1822. A small book, containing also ? the manuscript of the printed copy, narrates the particulars of this remark able case, and it may be perused by the privileged visitor to Guy's. It appears that Cummlnga during a spree ashoro challenged the feats of a 1 conjuror who had made a pretense of swallowing knives. Encouraged by his drunken comrades, the Bailor actually swallowed an opened pocketknlfe, to j the amazement of the conjuror- Feel ing no immediate pain, he put five ether, knives out of sight in the same way. m In two years' time he had, In the course of his drunken bouts, shown sufficient bravado to enlarge hia internal ar mory hy twenty-nine additional knives. When, after his foolishness had brought him to the hospital and subsequently; to his grave, a postmortem examination „ waa made tho thirty-five knlvea were removed from his stomach by the amaz ed surgeons. These interesting relics are exhibited l among others In tho surgical classroom,j whither the students return from the . - dissecting room to correct their slons. Close by is another interest!)!® object, a glass case containing u nuflj,-. bcr of what appear to be Illuminated parchments. The grewsomo nature j)i these exhibits grows upon tho when ho learns that they aro suß., .f t patches of tattooed human skin pre-, served ia spirits. The inscription upon each enables one to truce the occupa tion and character of the unfortunate patient from whom it was taken. One was a colored sailor, a native of Afrl- \ ca. On some twelve square indies of hi# ' skin is worked an artistic representa tion of tho most brilliant plumaged birds known in tho tropica. Guy's anatomical wax models are said to be tho finest in the world. On®, of these Is extremely valuable, the hos pital authorities Waving refused tho sum of £5,000 offered for it by a for- * elgn in ed leak celebrity. It is an ab solutely perfect model of tho upper ex tremity of the body, showing every, ii; muscle, gland, vein, nerve and artery. It took Joseph Towne, a clover dem onstrator nt Guy's, fully two years to make it, but with him in JS7O ulso died tho secret of tlie process by which the wonderful const met lon of the human body was reproduced in wux with such marvelous fidelity.—London Standard. | THE Fmir&bTIZARD. It rarrfea an luilirella and HM * «' I'lKlitluK Tall. | The frilled lizard is found In Austra-, ' llau woods, being tolerably abundant; ' in north Queensland nnd the Klmber-, ley district of western Australia. It lives on beetles such ua uro found on , the tree barks. It is about three feet long, measured from head to tall point., What makes It remarkable consist® of j two things its hurried walk and its fighting anger. it carries a sort of natural umbrella top about its neck, which It elevates suddenly with an alarming effect even to ordinary Heard killing dogs, scaring them as an umbrella opened In tho face of a charging bull; hence It is called the frilled lizard. Its teeth are not of much use as a defense against a vigor- 1 ous animal, but when It fights it uses its long, lithe tail In a way to bring long bruises on one's hands—ln fact, could it bo properly trained, it might serve as an automatic switch, which, . like tho magic ruh-a-dub-dub stick, would nt the word administer a thraah lng to the disobedient child. From tlie scientific point Of view the creature's peculiar method of ambula tion is most Interesting, because it pre sents an absurdly grotesque appear ance lit such times, more especially from the rear. It walks bipedally or on two feet, like a bird, njul so much does; it resemble a bird iu its walk that It seems to be tho connecting link be tween the ancestors nt birds ond the llsnrds of today.
