PceallM Cfaua of Pvopl Who U

"Har you ever heard of a claw bf
people called 'red bones f " in Id a
South Carolina man to a reporter the
other evenliiK. "They are the moat pe
culiar people In the United States. No
one living absolutely knowi the race
from which they sprang or from
whence the original aettleri came. They
live verx nearly on the boundary line
between Boiilli Carolina and Georgia,
In the northwestern part of the first
nnmed atnte. They nro very clannish,
nils very little with people not of their
race and In a manner are quite thrifty.
In slavery times they owned slaves,
vlBlted the several summer resorts of
the southern mountain and In a way
put on quite a little style. While I
have nothing but supposition to guide
me, I am of the opinion that they are
descendants of the Basques of southern
France. They do not lack courage, for
a company of them served In Hamp
ton's legion during the civil war and
bore themselves bravely at the first
Manassas. Their skin Is of a swarthy
red, resembling that of the Indian, but
at that point alt resemblance ceases,
except it be that they are very hot of
temper. . I have often wondered why
the ethnologists of this country have
not studied these people. Purely a
monograph on them would be highly In
teresting." Washington Star.
A Critical Mnmpnt.
A man may be as cool na an lclclo

Inkstand, and he springs to Ills feet,
makes a desperate grasp for the Ink
stand and knocks It half way across
the table, claws after his papers and
swoops them through the sable puddle
to save them, tears his white handker
chief from bis pocket and mops up the
ink with it and after he has smeared
the table, his bands and blB trousers

ment he knocked the Inkstand clear off
the table and it has been draining its
life ink away all that time In the cen

why a man always makes a fool of
himself when he tipseta a bottle of ink.
He doesn't know why. Nobody knows

don't believe It, try it.
Silkworms That Die.
The silkworm story is a twice told

entirely. The largest and fairest are
saved for seed. Out of them come
the moths that lay eggs for a new gen
eration. From 300 to 000 is the usual
number.
The eggs, called grain, are subject to
a fuugus that does not destroy their
vitality, but ma Ices, worms hatched
from tben unhealthy. Tbey toll not,
neither do they spin. Instead they die,
weak and languid, to the disgust of the

Vufir la Raw Salads.
"It has generally been conceded,"
says the Sanitary Inspector, "that
there is quite an element of danger in
the consumption of raw salad plants
which have been grown upon soil that
is possibly infected with disease germs
which may be present as the result of
the application of stable manure to
the soil. All such salad plants should
be carefully washed with an abun
dance of water. A writer in Pollcliul
co, an Italian Journal, concludes as
the result of bis experiments thut such
salad plants may be effectuully ster
ilised, so far as disease germs are con
cerned, by Immersing them a half on
bour lu a a per cent solution of tartaric
acid."

THE LONG ' TAILED TROGON
Most OorBoons Bird Is the na
tional Rmbl.m of Oaatomala.
By far the most Interesting bird em
blem of a modern state Is that of the
republic of Guatemala. It has been
adopted as the national crest for so
long that partly through the taste for
stamp collecting, the existence of one
of the rarest and most beautiful of the
bird creation has been made far more
widely known than It otherwise would
have been. There Is a race of birds
called trogons, most of which have
very fine feathers and remarkable col
oring. They are found In India and
the Mnlays, but are most numerous In
Central and South America. It was
from their plumage that the Mexicans
made their famous mosaics of feather
work. From the tall feathers they
made the lustrous green helmets of
their kings and nobles. The most gor
geous of ull was the long tailed or re
splendent trogon, which was kept as a
sacred or royal bird In the palace of
Montezuma or In one of the two houses
which formed the royal menageries.
Adequate description of the bird Is al
most Impossible. It has a rounded
plume on the head, cascades of feath
ers falling from the back over the
shoulders, plumes falling over the tall
a yard long nnd a most elegant con
tour. The color of the whole of the
upper surface nnd plumes Is a most re
splendent golden green, that of the
breast and under parts crimson or scar
let. Such Is the national emblem of
Guatemala.
Gibraltar's Story.
In 1704 the rock of Gibraltar fell Into
the hnuds of the British by assault
The Prince of Hesse-Darmstadt com
manded the troops and Sir George
Itooke the fleet, and In the remarkably
short time of four days the stronghold
surrendered. Many times the Span
lards attempted to get back the. key
to the Mediterranean, but without suc
cess, though on one occasion they got
600 nie'i within the fort, but failed to
re-enforce them. In 172(1 It was In the
mind of ministers to give back the
rock to Bpaln, but so great an agita
tion arose ngulnst such a step that it
was ubandoued. There followed a
siege by Spnln and France, which last
ed from 1727 to 1783. On Bept. 13,
1782. no fewer than 40,000 men con
stituted the besieging army, and in the
grand attack delivered on that day 200
heavy guns, 47 ships of the Hue and 10
battering ships were employed, and
upward of 5,000 red hot shots were
fired at the fortlllcatlons. Since then
the possession of Gibraltar bas re
mained undisputed. '
Wonderful Little Padlock and Chala.
In a curious old book entitled "The
Wonders and Curiosities of London"
there are the following particulars con
cerning a minute padlock: In the twen
tieth year of the reign of Queen Eliza
beth Mark Scarllot, a blacksmith, mude
a lock consisting of eleven pieces of
steel, iron and brass, all of which, to-,
gether with the key, weighed but a
small fraction over one gruin. lie also
made a chain of gold, consisting of
forty-three, links, which, after fastening
it to the lock and key above men
tioned, he put around the neck of a
common flea, the wbolo being so mi
nute that the little Insect could draw
them over a silver plate with perfect
ease. All of these together, lock, key,
chain r.ud flea, weighed a slight frac
tion less tbun two and a half grains. .

pound of Iftittcr and let It Just boll lu.
Then remove from the fire. Add a
large tcaspoouful of bicarbonate of

It in. As soon as it begins to rise pour
it out upon the marble or dish and
spread it thlu. When cold, break it
up. The thinner it is run the better.
Small Spanish peanuts are the best

Growth of Oar Lsnguci.
To give some idea of the tremendous
growth of the English lunguuge it may
be mentioned that the words and
phrases under the letter "A" have in
creased since the middle of the nine
teenth century from 7,000 to nearly
60,000. So enormous indeed bas been
the growth of the English language
that it would be practically Impossible
for the most learned man to be ac
quainted with every word. Intelligent
persons, even those engaged in the
learned professions, do not make use
of more thuu from 0,000 to 8,000 words
all told, ultuougu there are properly
belouglug to our lunguuge over 200,000.

AREMARKABLE SHOT.
fired la the Jark, It Injared Three
Mea Half a Mile Away.
"One of the best and most remarka
ble shots made during the war with
Spain," said a gentleman who made an
effort to get Into the thick of the
Oght, "was, In my Judgment, mudo at
Miami, and the man who II red the shot
was n Louisiana boy and a member of
my company. He was doing duty as a
provost guard at the lime. It was late
at night when the soldiers were roused
by the quick, clear crack of a Krug
Jorgousen on the outskirts of the camp.
No particular attention was paid to
the matter at first, as only one shot
was fired. But with a couple of oifl
cers we went out to where the runrd
was stationed In order to llnd out Just
why It was that he had fired at that
time of nlglit. He explnlnrd thnt he
had seen a man slipping through the
bushes some distance away and- had
called on him to halt. He failed to
obey the command, and the guard
Mailed away at him, more to frighten
him Into a stop than anything else.
Of course, the fellow never halted. He
was probably too badly frightened to
stop at that time.
"While we were talking to the guard
we heard n fearful noise nt least half a
mile from the guard's station, and we
luude a break fir tho place to Bee what
the matter was. We heard several
people screaming as If In great agony,
Down the rond we went nt full speed,
and In a short while we came upon a
little cabin which stood on the road
side. The noise was In this cabin, and
I never hoard such groaning and wall
ing In my life. We found three men In
the house. They were In great agony,
and we asked them what was the mat
ter. 'We have been shot,' they said,
and sure enough they had been shot.
"One was shot In the right arm, an
other in the back nnd the third In the
hip. They hii'l nil been wounded by
the sai::e bi llet. The man who was
wounded In the arm was lying on his
right side. The ball passed through
his arm. Next to him one of his com
panions was sprawling out on his back,
and the bullet split the bide on this
part of his anatomy as smoothly as a
knife. Then It passed through the
fleshy part of the third man's hip and
sped on.
"We could not find the ball. It bad
passed through the side of the house,
wounded the three men In the way in
dicated, bored through the wall on the
opposite side and kept on going. Now,
that cabin was fully half a mile from
the point where the guard was sta
tioned, nnd yet the shot he fired bad
wrought nil the havoc we found."

'" HER FIR6T $100.
What the Dvllahtfnl Creator Did
With It After Mnrh felvlce.
How she acquired It It does not really
matter possibly by teaching school,
painting fire screens or washing. Any
way when she found herself In posses
sion of the sum she set about to see
what she could do with It.
Certain ninlable friends told her It
would be very nice to buy some new
dresses, hats', gloves, shoes find such.
But she hud a full assortment and
didn't require anything of the sort. An
aunt told her to Invest It In a certain
telegraph stock that would bring in
good Interest.
"But I want my hundred dollars all
to myself, you know."
"I'oor. foolish deor, It will all be
yours, Just the same. Tou can use the
Interest Just the same. I know where
you can draw why, 0 per cent"
"Wh-nt? Thnt Is only $0 a year!
Six dollars Is awfully small by the
side of this. I'm going to count it
again. Maybe some of it Is gone."
Tho very thought of such a thing mode
the little creature chatter. For the'
tenth time that day she sat down and
counted the tutlsmunlc roll of bills
four twenties, one ten and two fives.
It was nil right, and her tulse re
sumed Its norma I beat. Suddmly she
gave a little shriek of delight and
Jumped up and cried:
"I know Just whut I shall do! I'll
get It busted. I think that's what they
call"- ,
"Child, what are you talking about?"
"Talking about finance, nuntie. I'm
going to make this stingy little roll Into
a big one. It doesn't show off at all."
"You are queer, dear."
"I'm going to get It all in Ave dollar
bills. I think the pictures on the fives
are ever so much prettier." Life seemed
more rosy after the delightful creature
possessed twenty nice, crisp fivers. She
counted and recounted them when an
other fancy came.
"I'm tired looking at these common
bills. They don't Jingle and ring. I'm
going to get live nice, clean, new twen
ty dollar guldpleces." No sooner was
It said than done. The table rang for
two days ns she tossed the bright yel
low pieces about like Jack stones. Even
then she wasn't quite happy. The lit
tle pile of twenty dollar yellow boys
looked so small. Then she scouted
about and got together 100 silver dol
lars. She polished every one dally and
played with them. Next she got 200
fifty cent pieces. But life was still an
aching void. She at last owned $100
In twenty-five cent coins. ' Surely she
must be satisfied now. But, no; she
broke Into one of the quarters, felt dis
couraged after that and was quite un
like her old self until she found one
little nickel left, the very last coin of
the hundred dollars that had caused
her so much trouble. Fblladelphia

Snakes.
There exists among many persons a
belief thnt snakes are creatures of
more or less defective organization.
Deprived of legs and reduced to effect
their movements by sinuous windings
of their elongated bodies and talis, they
have an appearance of helplessness
which may by Itself excite compassion.
Yet no mistake of the kind could well
bo greater. The principles of evolu
tion sutllce to make It evident that the
structure of serpents must be tolerably
good or else they could Dover have sur
vived nature's many destructive
agencies. But, In fact, tholr structure
Is a marvel of admirable contrivances
and accurate adjustments, so that we
must afllrm them to be as perfectly
adapted to their requirements and pe
culiar modes of life as any other ani
mals. Quarterly Review.
