Midnight Murderers.
I5y w. T. IIORXADAY.
The desire to murder for the saka
pf filing is born in some carnivorous
. iiimals, and by others and it finest is achieved. of the
Among the largest
felines, the lions and tigers, midnight
murders are very rare. Individual dis¬
like is shown boldly and openly, and
e are given a fair chance to prevent
fatalities. Among the lions, tigers,
leopards, jaguars, and pumas of the
New - r York Zoological Park, twenty
eight in number, there has been but
one murder. That was the crime of
_
Lopez, the big jaguar, who deserved
instant death as punishment. It was
one of the most cunning crimes I
have ever seen among wild animals,
and is now historic.
For a year Lopez pretended osten¬
tatiously to be a good natured ani
mal. Twenty times at least he acted
the part of a playful pet, inviting me
to reach him and stroke him. At
last we decided to give him a cage
mate, and a fine adult female jaguar
was purchased. The _ animals actually
tried to caress each other through
the bars, and the big male completely
deceived us all.
At the end of two days it was con¬
sidered safe to permit the female
jaguar to enter the cage of Lopez.
She was just as much deceived as we
were. An animal that is afraid always
leaves its traveling cage slowly and
unwillingly, or not at all. When the
two sets of doors were opened, the
female joyously walked into the cage
of her treacherous admirer. In an
instant, Lopez rushed upon her,
seized her whole neck in his powerful
jaws, and crushed her cervical verte¬
brae by his awful bite. We beat him
over the head; we spiked him; we
even tried to brain him; but he held
her, as a bulldog would hold a kitten,
until she was dead. He was deter¬
mined to murder her, but had cun¬
ningly concealed his purpose until his
victim was fully in his power.—From
McClure's Magazine.
Milk and Butter in Japan.
There was a time when milk was
regarded in Japan with the same ab¬
horrence as cheese is in China, es
the , and , strong- , .
pecially . ,, pungent ;
smelling variety. Recent statistics, j
however, according to Consul Wil- j
bur T. Gracey, show that time has
worked a great change in this respect
and milk and butter are now in great
favor in Japan. Whereas twenty-five
years ago not more than one or two
per cent, of the persons visiting a
European restaurant, or eating a
European meal at a friend's house,
would have thought of touching but¬
ter, fully forty or fifty per cent, now
eat it with a relish. They are, how¬
ever, quite content to do without.
As to dairy farms, they have in
creased notably in recent years. But¬
ter, however, is a byproduct at these
places. It is to milk that they look
for their profit. Milk has a curious
history in this country. Thirty or
forty years ago it was abhorred. The
average Japanese could not induce
himself to drink it. But to-day many
a household consumes one or two
bottles of milk daily, partly because |
doctors have recommended it as a !
unique and .wholesome beverage,
“Milk halls,” too, are now quite num- ,
erous. Butter will probably take j
much longer to come widely into ;
vogue, because of its expensiveness. ;
A pound of fresh butter costs at least |
one yen (49.8 cents gold) in Tokio
to-day, extremely high lor i
an price j

Extermination of Mosquitoes. j
Palermo, Consul William Henry Bishop, of j
Italy, transmits the follow¬
ing information relative to eiperi
i ments ary service made by at the Gaboon, chief of the French sani- ! j
Africa, with the cactus as a substi- |
tute for petroleum for the extermina¬
tion of mosquitoes in warm climates.
The thick, pulpy leaves of the cac¬
tus, cut up in pieces, arc thrown into
water and macerated until a sticky
paste is formed. This paste is
spread upon the surface of stagnant
water, and forms an isolating layer
which prevents the larvae of the mos¬
quitoes from coining to the top to
breathe and destroys them through
asphyxiation. It is true that petro¬
leum can do the same service, but in
warm climates petroleum evaporates
too quickly and is thus of little avail.
The mucilaginous cactus paste, on
the contrary, can hold its place in¬
definitely, lasting weeks, months, or
even an entire year; and the period
of development of the larvae being
but about a fortnight, it has the
most thorough effect.—Scientific

A Matrimonial Express.
Mrs. J. R. Gill’s annual Eastor ex
curslon to Washington, which Is
known all over the State as the “M^t*

witn ten cars packed to the doors. It
is said that the train carried at, least
twenty-five couples who are making
the trip with matrimonial intentions.
A great many of them came from
other parts of the State to make the
trip to get married.—Richmond corre

TORTURED FOR SIX MONTHS
By Terrible Itching Eczema—Baby’s
Suffering was Terrible — Soon
Entirely Cured by Cuticura.
“Eczema appeared on my son's face. We
went to a doctor who treated him for three
months. Then he was so bad that his face
and head were nothing but one sore and
his ears looked as if they were going to fall
off, so we tried another doctor for four
months, the baby never getting any better.
His hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so ter¬
ribly that he could not sleep. After he
had suffered six months we tried a set of
the Cuticura Remedies and the first treat¬
ment let him sleep and rest well; in one
week the sores were gone and in two
months he had a clear face. Now he is
two years and has never had eczema again.

Eighty Years Old; Ne^er Voted.
All sorts of men are noted for all
sorts of things, and here is a man
in Rockland, Mass., just deceased, who
was famous for having abstained
throughout his eighty years of life
from casting a ballot. As a boy ho
listened to political wrangles between
the Democrats and Whigs, and became
; so disgusted with politics that he
vowed he would never go near the
j polls. What a text for a sermon on
the duties of citizenship! Yet there
; are thousands of men who are Irri¬
tated by the evils of politics, and
who would rather keep aloof than mix
| in and help eliminate them. It is so
i easy to deplore the wickedness °f
| politicians and to assume the holier
: than-thou attitude; it is not so easy
i to come out like a man and take a
stand against the politicians. To de¬
fy bosses and machines in public re¬
quires stamina.—Providence Journal.

leading parties under which political
sentiment is organized in the island
has placed a presidential candidate
in nomination. The impeding change
in the government of the island is
regarded very differently from the slm
