Kuhn, near McGovern's school
house in Tod township, came
home one day last week with

off. It is supposed that another

Strangely enough, writes Sybil
Belcher in the Wide World, our
i ' -i t..: ,..!(,. I
had all experienced varying vicissi
tudes which, forging a curious chain
of misfortune, made Beira hardly an
enviable post were one inclined to
superstition, a will be seen from the
following :
The first man to be appointed was
the captain of a man-of-war, his
ship doing duty as the consulate.
After three or four months' stay he
contracted so bnd an attack of ma
laria that he died shortly afterward.
The next consul who came, fright
ened of the surrounding swamps,
purchnsed an old sailing ship, turned
it into a hulk and fitted it up into i
most comfortable residence. In some
mysterious way, however, his float
ing homo sank in the middle of the
night, he and his wife only escaping
with their lives. The catastrophe so
discouraged him that be left soon
after.
Number three was unfortunate
enough to loso his wife from the ef
fects of fever, and she was buried
there. Number four nearly lost his
life by being shot at while breakfast
ing, the bullet passing within a few
inches of his head and going through
the adjoining door. The consul fol
lowing him was our unfortunate
predecessor, who was brutally mur
dered in his office, being stabbed in
the neck. Such an unbroken history
of disaster in connection with a con
sulate is rarely to 1 met with.

QUEER TRAITS OF ANIMALS.
Many animals and insects have
curious ways of doing things for
which there is no apparent scientific
reason. A fly on the window pane
will crawl to the top, fly back to the
bottom and crawl up again. This
order is seldom reversed why, no
one knows. It is on record that a fly
crawled up a window pane 32 times,
returning each time to the same
place, the Presbyterian states.
Hens scratch for food with the
sun behind them, the reason being
that the ravs reflect on the minute
particles. A blind hen will pick
grain ami not miss a kernel. Cats
seldom lie with their feet to the fire.
Usually they lie on the left side.
Dogs lie with their forepaws to the
fire.
A mouse will ignore a food supply
sufficient for a meal and run great
risks to nibble at a wholesale supply.
It will hide at the source of food
supply and not depart from it until
actually disturbed. It isn't true that
a mouse runs to its hole at the first
alarm.

An important center of action in
the present war, Verdun, was a fa

years ago. In it were interned the
most important of those who were
caught on the continent when the
peace of Amiens came unexpectedly
to an end in 1803. From then until
Waterloo the French town had

They gambled for very high stakes.
It was estimated that during his stay
at Verdun Lord Blayney lost at cards
something like $250,000 a year. That
nobleman exhibited to the last tho
national insouciance. When peace
permitted his return from exile he
traveled leisurely to Boulogne, and
then suddenly decided to go back o
Verdun to purchase a property there,
so as, he said, to be able to bathe and
fish in the Mcuse and have a pleas
ant retreat whenever he felt inclined
to visit France.

RABBIT TRAPS TWO DOGS.
Several large cisterns were dug on
the new fair grounds and hoarded
over. Workmen preparing to fix con
nections with the cisterns and the
water pipes were surprised to find
two dogs and a dead rabbit in one of
them.
Tho dogs had evidently chased
poor bunny into what he thought was
a place of safety and had been
trapped themselves when they sought
to follow him. As there was no wa
ter in the cistern they landed at the
bottom.
How long they were in the hole is
not known, but the rabbit had kept
them from starving and was partial
ly consumed. When released they
made tracks for home. Janesville
