Tlieso mysterious disap pearances always occurred lata ut iiiKht, when tho children wero at homo asleep As tho timo was drawing near for one of theso periodical mysteries tho chief of police became very noxious nnd In Ktltuted a strict surveillance, confiding tho matter ton numlier of tho most skill ful of his assistants, hoping the com bined efforts of so many kcuIoiih agmils would suroly bo crowned with access You will now hco tho result. Olio night tills fact can bo verilied by applying to tlm olllco of tlm prefen tnro a policeman about 3 o'clock in tlm morning heard a distant musical song, which seemed to como from tho bowels of the earth. Ho listened uud fancied tho sounds enmo from an opening in the center of tlio street, at tho foot of un enormous rock called tho tomb of Is goir, or tho Giant's cavo. It may bo interostingto stato that this rock derived its name from a legend that a groat giant had been buried then) many years before tho Christian era, and this rock had been placed thorn to mark tho tomb. Surprised ut this strange discovery for tho opuuiug had never been noticed before tho policeman waitod, listening to this peculiar song, when he suddenly saw a young man approaching. Ho knew from his enstumo that he was a countryman lately arrived In the city. This young uiun also set-mod to hear the subterranean sounds, first walking slowly with a poem liar wavering step, as if in cadence with this musical chant, thuu faster uud faster aa ho drow near tho fatal rock, until he ran with such velocity Hi at in spite of the warning cries of the policeman he was swallow ed np in this mystorions opening. With out taking a moment to consider the policeman recklessly followed, first fir ing his revolver and giving one or two vigorous blasts on his whistle. At this signal several of hisoomradea Quickly arrived. The musical chanting had ceased, but they could hear in the dark, cavernous depths the mufOnd sounds of a desperate struggle. By the aid of ropes and ladders they succeeded in entering this mysterious chasm. The light of their lumps reveal ed a siokeuing sight The countryman was lying on his back writhing in the grasp of an un known monster, whose horrible aspect froEO the agents of police with terror. It was as large aa a full grown ter rier, covered with wartlike protuber ances and bristling with coarse brown ish hair. Eight Jointed legs, terminated by formidable claws, were buried in the body of the unfortunate viotim. The face bad already disappeared. Nothing could be seen but tho top of the head, and the monster was now engaged in tearing and suckiug the blood from bis throat A soon a they recovered from their borror aud surprise a dozen balls struck the body of this sanguinary beast. He raised up on his logs, a greenish, bloody liquid flowing from his wounds, aud, with a frightful cry, expired The first poUooman, who had given the alarm, was lying unconscious iu one oornor of the caveru, wbcra be bad fall en, a distance of 80 feet It was witb great difficulty they sue oecded in removing the two bodies aud the unknown monster from the caveru.

A Fw Fnrt Aliottt n Hitmen lint Familiar Artlrta of i'miil. 8tyli"S change in bread, ns In every thing else, and shapes that wero morn or less familiar 10 years ago mo tmw not Hindu ut all. Every baker tries to liuvu something distinctive about his output, and utmost every baker thinks his bread is the best. So everybody who buys bakers' bread knows there isr ; lly u great ilill'erenon in it in uppeai ;.;.'-c end iu tasto. The housewife iiiaki .. vii at bread of olio kind of flour; I !. 1 .i!. r makes it generally of tlin1 two maims of spring wheat Hour nnd one ol winii r wheat, mixed, with the result el limit ing n finer, whiter, smoother loaf. Bak ers do not all agree us to the exact pro portions in which these flours r.iiould bo mixed. Graham flour is inado of the entire grain of tho wheat ground up together; gluten flour of that part of tho wheat grain which contains tho gluten. Ityo graham flour is mucin of tlm entire grain of tho rye; the rye Hour used in the or dinary rye bread is usually mixed with wheat Hour in pruort ions varying from a little wheat up to half wheat. Of tho bread sold iu American bakeries about 85 per cent is wheat, tho remaining 16 per cent being divided about cqunlly among grahum, ryo mid gluten. In (Jcr lnuu bakeries tho proportion of ryo bread sold is very much greuter. liakors aro all tho timo getting up now shapes in bread, and thero can scarcely bo said to be any absolutely stiuidard form, though thero aro soiuo tuut ui'o pructicully ho tho oblong, the round, tho long, round, French stick, Vienna stick and Vienna loaf. There aro now ubout 10 shapes that nro more or less commonly sold Aud theso breads aro made of about as many different kinds of dough. Fur iustancu, thero is a New England dough, a Vienna dough, uud so on, each being composed of a different blend of materials and mixed and handled differently. Perhaps as nearly standard as any of theso shapes is tho one known as New EngluuiL This is an oblong loaf with squaru comers. , Almost all of theso breads iuo uiado iu different sizes. Tho New England is made iu at least fivo, which aro sold nt 6 cents, 8 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents und 80 cents. Usually tho DO oeut loaf is inado to weigh a trifle moro than three 10 cent loaves would weigh. The smallest sized Now England loaf is tho ono most sold, as is tho case with all breads made iu sizes, but tho b cent uud 10 cent loaves are iu largo demand, uud there is a steady salo for tlio loaves at 20 and 30 cents. Tho larger of tho two big loavos is sometimes cut in two and sold iu halves. Tho big loaves ore sold to boarding houses and to private families also, homo folks liko a crust, aud some like tho iusido. Tho big loavos aro es pecially desirablo for those who like the iusido. Thoy have proportionately to weight less crust than the smaller loaves, and thoy can be so cut as to be served iu almost any form that may be desired, with crust or without Breads for hotels aud restaurants are generally made in special shapes. Thoy use a shape corresponding to New Eng land, and many restaurants that don't want so maob crust take a bread that Is mado in loaves about 18 inchos in length, and not very wide, baked not separately, bnt laid close together, so that the loaves have crust on the ends only. Some hotels buy this kind of bread, but hotels gonorally use more French bread and Vienna sticks. Tak ing all the people together, old and youngit is probablo that about three quarters like their bread crusty. New York Snn. The Hair. The roots of the hair are each sup plied witn a blood vessel of its own and with proper norves, though the latter do not extend into the hair itself. On the health of the roots of the hair the whole growth depends. On either side of the root and a- littlo above it are two small glands, which secrete an oily sub stance that gives gloss to the hair, and the glands serve to protect the roots of the buir from becoming clogged witb dust Each soparate hair is a hollow tube and through its length is conveyed tho food esseutiul to health and growth. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

Home of I Im Morn SlrlMng Cnrloaltlr nf I'lant l.lfi-. On tho C'niinry island grows a foun tain freo, n treo most needed ill Rome parts of tlio Island. It is said that tlm leaves const mt ly distill enough water to furnish drink toevery living creature in Hiero, nature having provided this remedy for tho drought of (lie island. Every morning near this part of tho is land n cloud or mist orises from the wa, which tlio winds force against thn steep cliff on which thn treo grows, and It is from tho mist that tho treo distills thn water. China, too, claims her remarkable tree. Tills Is known as tho tnllow treo, so called from thn fact of its produc ing n Mihstnuco liko tallow, nnd which serves the sumo purpose, is of tho snmo Consistence, color and smell. On tho is luud of Loo-(.'hoo grows a tree, about tho sizo of a common cherry treo, which possesses thn tM'ouliarity of changing tho color of its blossoms. At ono time tho flower assumes tho tint of tho lily, and again shortly takes tho color of the rose. In Tilsit thorn is a curious tree known as tho treo of tho thousand imnges. Its leaves nro covered with well defined characters of tho Tibetan alphabet. It is of great ago and tho only ono of its kind known thero. Tho cnobub treo is considered ono of thn most wonderful of tho vegetable kingdom. It appears that nothing can kill this tree; hence it reaches an aston ishing ngo as well as enormous sizo. Tho natives mnko a strong cord from tho fllMirs of tlio bark; hetico the trees aro continually barked, but without damage, as they soon put forth a new bark, it apx ars impervious to fire, and even tho ax is resisted, as it continues to grow in length whilo it is lying on tho ground. Iu Mexico there is a plant known by tho naiuo of palo do locho. It belongs to tho family of euphorbia. Tho Indians throw tho leaves into the water, and tho fish Ixicomo stupefied and riso to tho surface and nro then caught by tho na tives. Iu this case the effect of thn nnr cotio soon passes off. Tho milk of this plant thrown upon the fire gives out fumes that produco nausea aud head ache, Tho milk taken internally is a deadly poison. It will produce death or insanity, according to tho sizo of the dose. Thero is a popular belief among tho lower class iu Mexico that tho in sanity of tho ex-Empress Carlottn was cuusod by this poison. Sun Jose Mer cury. NERVE ENOUGH FOR ANYTHING.

A few lads would consent to a trial and received a basin of hot gruel and a spoon. While they wero pouring the hot mess into the skull the doctor would throw his voice so as to make it appear to proceed from tho jaws of the bony customer and gurgle out "Br-r-r-gr-ub, that's hot!" This was too much, and without ex ception the lads dropped the basin and boltod. The doctor began to despair of ever getting a suitable helpmate until a mall boy came and was given the gruel and spoon. After the first spoonful the skeleton appeared to say, "Gr-r-r-uh-r-br, that's hot!" Shoveling in the scalding gruel as fast as ever, the lad rapped the skull and impatiently retorted, "Well, blow it, carn't yer, yer ould bony!"

At last, half dead witb their exertions, yet eager for the fray with the mutineers, the tars tumbled on board and were warmly complimented on their rowing pace. It. must hove blown them badly. Would they have a drink? "A what? Where is the mutiny?"' gasped the senior officer in chargo of tho boarding party. "Mutiny ! .There's no mutiny in this ship. We are all tho best of friends, " was the reply. "Then Why did you want us? You yelled loud enough." "We thought it was Hong kong regatta day and were cheering tho winners."
