Death to Cholera Mlerolien. For several months the Austrian sanitary authorities have guarded the frontier from the importation of Russian caviar, and presumably that from the Elbe has also been shut out. Caviar, which consists of prepared Cffgs of the sturgeon, was placed under the ban on the ground that it was a medium for the transportation of the cholera germ. To test the matter the Austrian minister of the interior ordered a thorough investigation to be made at the hygienic laboratory in Vienna. There noted bacteriologists infecteS a quantity of caviar with bacilli from Tonfjiiin and from Hamburg, as many as4.V:."'.iO being placed in the caviar. At the end of twenty-fnur hours there were but a hundred left and at the end of forty-eight hours there were none at all. This experiment was repeated several times with about the same result. Lovers of this delicacy—the caviar, not the bacilli —may therefore continue to eat it without fear.. It is a cholera killer instead of a propagator.

Sleeping Her I.lf« A way.

The German village of Gramblce Is greatly excited over a case of persistent. somnolency in the person of the daughter of one of the town oflieials. The girl, a pretty, slender child of some thirteen years of age, has been in a continual sleep since the second week in May—over seven months—and even now does not show the least trace of arousing from her protracted slumber. Puring the first week of her enforced sleep the family seemed grieved to tha verge of distraction and all was mourning in the house, where the rhikl lay in the embrace of ••death's twin brother." After awhile, however, when it was noticed that she would swallow liquid nourishment, their fears for her safety scorned to a hate to a certain degree, and now. after a lapse of more than half a year, the family go about their daily labors as if the little maid w%re really dead and half forgotten. Highest medical authorities have been consulted. but all efforts to keep her awake have resulted in total failures.

A I'ulque Swindle.

A French viscount, who is not so richly endowed with this world's goods as he would like to be, has invented a novel means of feathering his nest, says the Illustrated American. lie advertises in the French papers a lottery in which the grand lot will be himself and his title. Five thousand tickets are to be issued at twenty franc* each. These will bring him about twenty thousand doliars. The lady who draws the lucky number will have the choice of two alternatives. She may marry the viscount with his fortune of twenty thousand dollars, or she may share this capita.! sum, but must first, forego all right to his person. Here is a chance for some of our young women who sigh for a coronet and cannot buy one. A viscount, with twenty thouMhnd dollars, going for twenty francs, Is ridiculously cheap. Although he is a Frenchman, he has graciously condescended to throw himself open to general competition.

Ilarlarian Humor.

A Maori whose requests for blankets had at last elicited a decided refusal from the missionary, exclaimed: "Kapai (good) no morq ble«k«ts BO mm hkl-

leiujahs," and thereupon returned to the faith of his fathers. No less humorous, though in another way, was the plea of a Maori in litigation for a piece of land. Heing called on to tell the court on what proof he relied for his title, he pointed to the rival claimant and said, simply: "I ate his father."

UNCLE SAM'S CATS.

Their Usefulness in the Government Offices.

Hundreds of tli« Feline. Ar* Kept Among tli« Post UIHce. to Prevent 11). Depredations of Rat. Upon

Mall Matter.

Three hundred and odd cats are maintained by the United States government, the cost of their support being carried as a regular item on the accounts of the post office department. They are distributed among about fifty post offices, and their duty is to keep rats and mice from eating postal matter and mail sacks. Their work is of the utmost importance wherever large quantities of mail are collected—as, for example, at the New York post office, where from two to three thousand bags of such material are commonly stowed away in the basement.

Formerly, says the New York World, great damage was often done by mischievous rodents, which chewed holes in the sacks and thought nothing of boring clear through bags of letters in a night. Troubles of this sort no longer occur, now that the official pussies keep watch. Each city postmaster 1b allowed from eight to forty dollars a year for the keep of his feline staff, sending his estimate for "cat meat" to Washington at the beginning of each quarter. Care is taken not to feed the animals too "high," in order that their appetite for live game may be keen. It is laid down as a rule that no meat shall be given when there is a mouse or a rat to be caught.

Cats are kept in all the government buildings at Washington. In that of the state, war and navy departments they are employed not only to protect the priceless paper stored there but to guard against fire. Twice the war department has been set afire by rats gnawing matches—on one of these occasions in the office of the secretary of war in the middle of the night. A year ago the treasury had nine cats, but they made themselves obnoxious and were all given away but two. These are as wild as possible, getting a living by foraging for themselves. Mice are notoriously fond of chewing up money, but they have no chance of getting at Uncle Sam's paper cash, which is kept in rooms with iron walls that defy their teeth. Rats occupied the pension office in great numbers while it was in process of building, taking up their residence in the walls and floors as fast as they were put up. Two years ago four cats were introduced there to guard the records of the old soldiers, and they have driven most of the vermin away. The best rat-killer of the quartette not long ago, being frightened at something, fell from the second gallery, fifty feet, to the tiled floor and was killed. The white honse has two cats, one a black and white female, kept in the kitchen, and the other a black torn, kept in the stable. Mrs. Harrison had four handsome Maltese eats, but they disappeared.

But the capitol is the greatest place in Washington for cats. The huge building swarms with them and at night they scamper about in troops. Nobody knows how many of them there arc, but the watchmen reckon them by scores. They are all vagrants and wild as hawks. In summer they are scattered about the neighborhood to some extent, but in winter they gather within the building. At about ten o'clock every night they begin a mad racing through the empty corridors, which are made to resound

McCLURE &. GRAHAM.

North Washington Street,

Cravvfordsville, Indiana,

The fact that other hunters have told of seeing these monsters browsing on the herbs tip along the river gives a certain probability to the story. Over on Forty-Mile creek bones of mastodons are quite plentiful. One ivory tusk nine feet long projects from one of the sand dunes on that creek, and single teeth have been found so large that they would be a good load for one man to carry. I believe that the mulefooted hog still exists also that live mastodons play tag with the aurora every night over on Fort}'-Mile creek in Alaska.

A Common Sense Remedy. In the matter of curatives what you want is something that will do its work while you continue to do yours—a remedy that will give you no inconvenience nor interfere with your business Such a remedy is Allcock's Porous Plasters. These plasters are not an experiment they have been in use for over thirty years, and their value has been attested by .he highest medical authorities, as well as by testimonials from those who have used them. They require no change of diet and are not affected by wet or cold. Their action does not interfere with labor or business .vou can toil and yet be cured while hard at work. They are so pure that the youngest, the oldest, the most delicate person of either sex. can us6 them with great genefit.

Beware of imitations, and do not be deceived by misrepresentations. Ask fsr Allcock's and let no solicitation induce you to accept a substitute.

Thereby Hangs a Tale.

'And so, irom hour to hour, we ripe .nd ripe, And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot.

And thereby hangs a tale."

And truly, "'tis a tale of woe," of one who had Catarrh in the Head, for many years, and really had been "rotting," from hour to hour, until Di .Sages Catarrh Remedy came to his notice. He used it it first with slight signs of relief, but he persisted, until a permanentcure was effected, and the world was again pleasant to live in From his awful suffering he was set free by the expenditure of a few dollars in that incomparable remedy.

Tbat IN the AHtonUhing Claim Made by Alaskan Indian lluuters. The Stickeen Indians positively assert that within the last five years they have frequently seen animals which, from the descriptions given, must have been mastodons, says the Juneau Free Press. Last spring, while out hunting, one of the Indians came across a series of large tracks, each the size of the bottom of a salt barrel, sunk dee)) in the moss. He followed the curious trail for some miles, finally coming out in full view of his game. As a class, these Indians are the bravest of hunters, but the proportions of this new spectacle of game filled the hunter with terror, and he took to swift and immediate flight. He described the creature as being as large as a post-trader's store, with great, shining, yellowish-wliite tusks, and a mouth large enough to swallow a man at a single gulp. He further says that the animal was undoubtedly of the same species as those whose bones and tusks lie all over that section of the country.
