His Brier Interview Witli a Brnke- nmiL nntl tlie Conductor. “I spent several hours in a small country' town not far from here a few days ago,” said a young professional man of this city, “and to kill time I joined the usual group iu tlie corner grocery store. Oue of the crowd was a freight brakeman, and he told a story* about a tramp who was stealing a ride on the bumpers during his last run. “ ‘The conductor seen him first,’ he said, ‘and when he came back to the caboose he said, says he: “Bill, there’s a blamed ugly lookiu hobo on tlie trucks beliiud tlie first car. Suppose you go up and fire him off.” "All right, cap,” says I, and starts front. When I gets to the lirst car, I looks down, and, sure enough, there was a big, greasy hobo squattin ou tlie edge, lioldiu ou to tlie brake iron. “Ili, there!” says I, “what d’you mean by tryin to beat the road? We’re goin slow now, aud you hop right off!” The hobo reached around into his pocket and pulled out a gun about a yard long. When he pointed it at me, it looked like a piece of stovepipe. “You freckle nosed baboon,” says he, “if you don’t go ’bout your business real sudden. I’ll cave your face Ini- Skip!” says he. I skipped. “ ’When I got hack to the caboose, the conductor says, “Well, Bill, did you fire the hobo?" “No,” says I, “I didn’t In chattin with him,” t says, “I found out we was kin, and I didn’t really have the heart to bounce the poor fel ler!” “Well, I’ll do it myself, then!" says the conductor, gettin hot, aud away he goes over the tops. Pretty soon I could hear him comin back lickety split, on a dead run. He slid down the brake iron like a streak of greased liglitnin and dropped into the caboose seat all out of breath. “Did you fire him?” says I. “No,” says he, sort of faint. “Why, how was that?” says I, pretendin to be surpris ed. “Well, I’ll tell you,” says he, con fidential. “It’s funny, but, d’you know, when "we got to talkin, I found out he was some kin to me too. —Chicago Inter Ocean. A FISH-CATCHING FISH. n e lias a Month One-third the Size of Ills Body. Most remarkable of strange fishes is the angler fish, whose very name seems a paradox. . The fishing fish is never theless a reality and a stern one to all that approach those awful jaws of his. •With a body the color of mud he gen erally lies in the shadow of some rock ou the bottom of the sea, waiting mo tionless for the approach of his prey. He is provided with an odd kind of fin just over, tlie mouth, and this is held out in front of him to give warning of the coming. of something to be swal lowed. One taken alive .was experi mented on, and it was found that if this projecting fin wa.s touched with a stick, .even though the stick did not come near the mouth, the jaws closed convulsively. This shows that the fin, by some provision of nature, closes the jaws as soon as It is touched. The mouth Is tremendous, growing to the width of a foot when the whole fish is only three feet long. One of these anglers was caught not long since, and, though it was only 25 inches long, a fish 15 inches long was found sticking in its throat. The angler is provided with peculiar teeth set in double or treble rows along the jaws and at the entrance of the throat. Some of these teeth are a foot long. He Is not a pretty fish to look at, but he attends strictly to business and will swallow anything that touches his warning fin, whether-it is meant for food or not. All kinds of things have been found in the stomachs of anglers, from bits of lead and stone to fish almost as large as tlie angler itself. This is without doubt one of the most peculiar and in teresting fish in the whole ocean.—St. Louis Globe-Democ: Tax and Registration Notice for 1900. — THIRD ROUND. Esom Hill.. Jnue 7.

Oue day a man drove up in a oue horse wagon carrying one barrel of whisky, which he wanted to sell. lie told us sorno kind of a story about an old uncle dy ing anil leaving it to him; hut, as he couldn’t afford to use as good liquor ti‘ it was. he had concluded to sell it. “We took tile barrel into tlie house, and, prying out tlie bung, we slipped iu the siphon and drew off a glass of it to sample. And it was line. The barrel showed age. and the liquor tasted it. It was worth $10 a gallon if it was worth a cent, lint we didn’t give the 1 man any sueii pointers. "We knew by the weight that there were at least 40 gallons of it, and we made him an of fer of $150 for the barrel. lie higgled awhile, hut took the money at last and drove away. “In the course of a couple of weeks we concluded to put that whisky in bottles and sell it as case goods, so we set the siplion to work at the bung and began to draw it off. After the fourth bottle had been drawn the siphon re fused to work, and we examined it to find what was wrong. We could not get at it that way, and, as the contents seemed to be all right, we set tho bar rel on end and bored another hole in i*. Then the siphon worked, but the liquor was much paler, and one of the men tasted It P.y George, it wasn’t whisky at all! It was only water, colored somewhat from tlie charred inside of the barrel. “That seared us. and we smashed the head in to see what was inside, and we saw in a minute. The wily enss had filled a can with fine old whisky to tlie bung where we made the examination before purchasing, and when that had been emptied the whole story had been told. He bad probably paid $S for the gallon to fill the can, and wo sold it for $2.50 a bottle, but we didn't get blamed cent for the 30 gallons, more or less, of water that filled the rest of the barrel.”—Washington Star.

This weapon.was either in tho form of a spear or hatchet blade on one side, uhile upon the opposite side there was a eupiike cavity, with a small hole ex tending into the eye of the weapon, in to which a tough handle of wood was fitted IS Inches or two feet in length. The handle was perforated almost its entire length, and below the hollow of tlie bowl it was bored at right angles to tills perforation, a suitable stemhole for the passage of the tobacco smoke when the implement was in use as a pipe. The tomahawk pipe was not only at tractive and popular in trade, but, like the earlier trade pipe, was given as a present at councils and ratifications of treaties. It was a pipe, a hatchet and a mace or hammer all in one and an swered an important military require ment in lessening the weight and in cumbrance of the warrior, who other wise would have tenaciously held to tlie stone pipe, which in itself was heavier than the tomahawk. — Smith sonian Institution Report.

Gcn- A Circus Balloon Man Says It’ tic uud Not Hazardous. “Coming down from the clouds in a parachute is like a dream,” said a cir cus balloon artist. "Ever dream of falling from a high place? You come down, alight quietly aud awake, aud you’re not hurt. Well, that’s the para chute drop over again. No; there is no danger. A parachute can he guided readily on the down trip, but you can’t steer a balloon. To guide a parachute out of harm’s way a practiced hand can tilt it oue way or the other, spill out air and thus work it to where you want to land or to avoid water, trees, chimneys or church spires. Circus as censions nre generally made in the evening. When the sun goes down, the wind goes down. The balloon then shoots into the air, and the parachute drops back on tlie circus lot or not far away. A balloon is made of 4 per cent muslin and weighs about 500 pounds. A parachute is made of 8 cent muslin. “There is much more danger is com ing down in a balloon. When it strikes the earth, it’s like a big hall and bounds up again, taking you with it Not long ago iu McKeesport, Ta., I came down in a balloon because the parachute would not let go. I nearly c-ame down iu a big stack of a blast furnace, but the hot air drove the bal loon away. After that I never intrust ed the parachute arrangqjnent to any one, but attended to It myself. “The rope that secures the parachute is cut with a knife. The aeronaut drops fully 100 feet before the para chute begins to fill. It must fill if you’re up high enough. There are sev eral hundred parachute men in the business, and the accidents are less in ratio than railroad casualties. A man can’t shake out a parachute if it don’t open. A man in the air is simply pow erless. Invariably the fall is head first When the parachute begins to fill, the descent is less rapid, and finally when the parachute has gradually filled it bulges out with a pop. Then the aero naut climbs on to his trapeze and guides the parachute to a safe landing. In seven cases out of ten you can land back on the lot where you started from. The first performers must have had nerve to make the drop. Now it is a regular business, not considered haz ardous at all. The hardest work is to bring back the balloon with a wagon. Sometimes it tears in the trees or wherever it may land when not in the open.”—New York Sun. COLT’S INVENTION. Tbe First Great Improvement Made In Rcpcutine: Pistols. In this day of improved firearms the fact that the first great improvement made iu repeating pistols by Colonel Samuel Colt was patented in the day of our grandfathers is seldom recalled. It was Colonel Colt, then of New York, to whom was granted the patent, Feb. 25. 1836. The original petition in the case was destroyed by the fire in De cember following. The letters patent were returned when application was made for the reissue, Sept. 1, 1848. The original letters are signed by Andrew Jackson, president; John Forsyth, sec retary of state, and Benjamin F. But ler, attorney general. After describing his invention Colo nel Colt claims as new “the application of caps at the end of the cylinder, the application of a partition between the caps, the application of a shoulder over the caps as a security against moisture and the action of smoke upon the works of the locks, the principle of tlie connecting rod between the hammer and the trigger, the application of the shackle to connect the cylinder with the ratchet,” etc. . There had been a revolver patented about 20 years before by one Collin, but until Colt’s invention little head way was made. Indeed it was not un til Colt’s invention had been given a trial by Major Sam Walker and his Texas rangers that it gained popular ity and was • regarded as a success. About the time Colonel Colt was ap plying for a reissue, iu 1S48. Mr. Wes son had filed an application for n re peating firearm, by which tlie Smith & Wesson pistol of today is represented. —Washington Star. ,-i Shake Into Your Shoes instantly talc**: Alle It i tlie sting of kl comfort discovi makes tight c erlain shoes 1» i Eventing, caUoi; and hot, tired, aching feet.
