The Walrus at Bay. The sea-horse or walrus is a wellknown Inhabitant of the Arctic seas, and has fought many valiant fights against its eftug, man, tbc narration of which has thrilled boy readers over and over again In their favorite tales of adventure. In a recent Issue of Cassell’s serial edition of Flguler's Mammalia we find a passage giving some few interesting particulars about the methods of this amphibious and carnivorous creature, and from that source we have extracted the folding: “Naturally wild and inoffensive, the walrus becomes very bold when It is attacked and wounded. Under such circumstances k will fight with the utmost fury, and will show Its desire for vengeance by all its actions. If on land, and consequently incapable of pursuing its enemies, Its feeling of helplessness makes it utter furious cries: it tears up the soil with its tusks and attacks everything it meets with on Its way. But to avoid being Injured by it, after it is hurt, all that is necessary Is for the hunters to keep at a respectful distance. In the sea, on the contrary, where It can display all its activity, the walrus is rather to be feared; so much the more so on account of the strict union in which it lives with its fellows, who never fail to come in great numbers to help any of their companions which are threatened with ’danger. They surround the boat, and try to sink it by running it through with their tusks, or capsize it by bearing with their wnole weight upon its sides. Sometimes, indeed, they even try to board boats, much to the disgust of the sailors, who have no use for such company. If the boats row off, they follow them for a long while, and only stop when they are out us sight The walrus, has to struggle not only against man, but also against the bears which inhabit the same latitudes. Although the white bears are provided with formidable means of attack, they do not always come out of the combat victorious. The deep wounds which they carry away with them after their battles with the walrus sufficiently attest the valor and power of the animals which they wished to make their victims.”

Cleaned Out the Hornetn. A young professional gentleman of this city recently traveled overland to Tappahannock, says the Fredericksburg Lanoe. On the route he discovered a large blacksnake slowly crawling among branches of a tree that stood bv the roadside. Following the snake with bis eye, the observer saw an unusually large hornets’ nest attached to one of the branches of the tree, and towards which the snake was advancing. When close to the nest the snake coiled itself about a limb, released its tail, and with it gave several hard raps upon the exterior of tbe nest, as If knocking for admission. The noise of the blows and the swaying of the nest caused the hornets to leave their home and prepare for an attack upon the intruder. The s«ake ceased tapping as soon as the hornets left the nest, uncoiled itself and quickly disappeared, taking the place of the hornets within their nest. Presently the snake’s head was seen to peer out, and«his bright, black eyes glistened as he anticipated a feast from which the bravest man would shrlnic with fear. The snake drew his head within the entrance hole to the nest until nothing was seen of it except an occasional forked tongue that darted in and out with lightning rapidity. Thinking tbe coast clear, the hornets began to return to their nest when the snake took them in as rapidly as they could enter. Watching the proceedings for some time, our informant concluded that all the hornets had been safely hived, and as he stood up in his buggy tapped the nest with his whip and awaited the result. No hornets appearing, thejiest was then knocked to t*he ground, opened, and his snakeship discovered in a torpid condition, with his size greatly Increased. The snake was killed and a postmortem held, with tlie following result: Stomach stuffed with dead hornets.

The Height of Man. A French statistician has been studying the average heights of men at different periods of the world’s history and has reached some alarming conclusions. The recorded facts extend over nearly three centuries. It is found that in 16id the average height of men in Europe was nearly 5 feet 6 inches. In 1790 it was 5 feet 6 inches. In 1820 it was 5 feet 5 inches and a fraction. At the present time it is 5 feet inches. It is easy to deduct from these figure a rate of regular and gradual decline in human stature, and they apply this, wonting backward and forward, to the past and to the future. By this calculation it is determined that the stature of the first mep attained the surprising average cf 16 feet 9 inches. The race had already detoriated in the days of Og, and Goliath was quite a degenerated offspring of the giants. Coming down to later time, we find that at the beginning of our era the average height of man 9 feet, and in the time of Charlemagne it was 8 feet 8 inches. But the'most astonishing result of this man’s study comes from the application of the same law of diminution. It is conclusively shown that in 4000 A. D., the height of the average man will be but fifteen inches, and in a few thousand years more the end of the world will come, for men will get so short that there will be nothing left of them. This is altogether the most comfortable solution of the end-of-the-world problem that has been presented. It will be so much more pleasant lor the coming man to diminish out of existence than to be burned off the earth.—Buffalo Express. > Stole the Entire Outfit. The novel chargeof steal Inga house And the furniture it contained, together with a sheep corral, a load of hay, and- other sundries, carting the whole business away, was preferred against a man in Walla Walla, Wash., the other day. He was formerly a» resident j)t that town, and a year ago he took up a ranch, adjoining a sheep farm, in Yakima County. The owner of the farm alleges that during the

absence of his men the accused tore down the house and the sheep corral and removed them, together with the. household furniture, a ton of hay, and other things, to his fam, on which ho rebuilt the house, putting the furniture into it Tne accused says it Is a plot to get him out of the country, the sheepmen wanting the water on his farm. All Officious Woum«>. “Jason,” said Mrs. Calliper to her husband as they satatdinner, “when I "was coming back irom Cometviile day, after my visit to Mrs. Qratebar, the train boy went through the cars as usual with papers, magazines, and candy, and when he was making the trip with the candy he threw a package into the lap of a little girl who was sitting with her mother. They were nice-looking people, but it seemed to me somehow aa though they were very poor; 1 imagined that she was a widow and that she had to look out now for every penny. Well, the little girl picked up the candy package and looked at it all over and read what it said on it, and finally said to her mother, — “ ‘Mamma,can't 1 have this candy?’ “And her mother said softly,— “ 'No, dearie. I wish you could, but mamma can’t spare the money.’ •'The little girl didn’t say a word more. She just held the package and kept it ready to hand to the train boy when he should come along. It was plain that merely to hold it was giving her pleasure. “Sitting in the next seat back of the mother and her child was a woman who couldn’t help hearing what had been said. She had of course kept quiet, but when she saw the little girl sitting there holding the candy she couldn’t keep still any longer, and she leaned forward and said, — • •“Madam, 1 don’t wish to intrude, but it would afford me great pleasure if you would permit me to buy the candy for the little girl.’ “Os course this was an intrusion, Jason, but the mother couldn’t fail to realize from the woman’s voice and manner the spirit in which the offer was made, and I am glad to say that she accepted it with a smile and a pleasant ‘I thank you;’ and the little girl looked up, smiling, and said, •So do L 1 And so you see, Jason, the little girl got the candy after all.” “Yes, Cynthia,” said CoL Calliper, “and I think I could guess who the woman was that gave it to her.” “Well,” said Mrs. Calliper, “don’t guess.” About Crow*. There are, perhaps, few who have rfot heard of crows that “One is lucky, two is unlucky, three Is health, four is wealth, five sickness and six death. The unluckiness of one living crow is of ancient date, since the Greeks believed that if such a bird appeared at a wedding breakfast there would be a divorce, to avoid which calamity all roared out, — ‘‘Maiden, scare away the crow!” But of far greater antiquity was the belief that if the one crow were dead the evil portent .also perished, since, according to Horus Apollo— Hierog. IL, 39—it signified extreme old age, or a very long life, according to what Hesiod tell us, as quoted by Plutarch in his “Oracles,” that the crow lives nine times a long as a man. The belief that two crows are a happy omen, and that they appear to warn men fronl disaster, is very ancient. Alexander the Great was thus saved in Egypt by two crows, and King Alonzo would surely have perished in 1147 had it not been for two crows, one of which perched on the prow and tjae other on the stern of his ship, so pointing the prow of the royal barge safely into port. Crows and rooks are very much alike. It is said that when rooks desert a rookery it forebodes the downfall of the family on whose property it is. They are also credited with being good weather prognosticators. When the weather is about to be very bad they stay as near home as possible; but when they foreknow that it will be set fair they start off in the morning right away to a distance, where they have an instinct the food they need is plentiful. Again, if the rooks are seen venturing into the streets of a town or village it is a sure sign of an approaching snow storm. To dream you see a crow signifies expedition in business; if you hear them croaking unpleasantly while they are flying, it is a sign of ill luck. If you see in your dream the crow flying on to the head of a child it will be in danger of some misfortune

An Electric Hotel. An hotel in New York is run on the principle of “You touch the button and we do the rest.” Electricity furnishes the light, heat and power required. A servant can be called by electricity, but a guest has little need of one, for he has his room lighted, heated, cooled, or ventilated, simply by pressing a button. Eggs are cooked and dishes are kept hot on the table by means of an electric coil; a wire connected with a storage battery keeps the sadirons in the laundry at a uniform heat; the elevator is called and operated by electricity; an ammonia refrigerator, supplied with an electric current, freezes cream, and cools water and wine- A patron of this hotel does everything by electricity except tipping the waiter and paying his bill. Watch His Career. There lives now in the interior of Asia Minor a lad who is destined, so say the soothsayers of the country, to bceome the greatest hero In the world. Turks are superstitious, and they believe in signs at which we in America only laugh. At this boy’s birth there were many peculiar signs and omens, which the soothsayers said were sure to make the baby grow to be a great hero. His mother believed all these things; so, as soon as the boy was old enough, she took him to a mosque and had Arabian mottoes tattooed upon his arms. On his right arm there is a verse signifying “Thou shalt die a martyr.” ' And upon his left there is another, meaning '‘Thou wilt be a great man."

The Mew Bread. The favor with which the new bread, | made with Royal Baking Powder instead of yeaat, has been received by our best. houaekoepers and most export breadmakers, is really wonderful. "It saves all the hard and tedious work of kneading and molding,” writes one. "Less than an hour from dry flour to the most perfect loaf of bread I ever saw,” writes another. “Fresh broad every day,” says another, “and that the lightest, finest, and most wholesome, is something to live for.” “Wo relish the bread better than the old kind." “It is ahead of any yeast bread I ever baked. " “The bread was whiter and softer." “Best of all," writes an enthusiastic housewife. “We can eat the Royal unferrnented broad when freshly based, or even when warm, with perfect impunity. It is actually an antl-dyspetic." ■ “This bread has a 'nutty' taste that Is peculiarly pleasing," writes still another. This is owing to the fact that the active gas-producing principle of the Royal is derived from the pure grape add. The great value of this bread arises fiom the fact that in it are preserved all the most nutritive elements of tbe flour, some of which are decomposed and destroyed by the action of yeast. The loss of these properties is what makes fresh yeast bread unwholesome. The use of Royal Baking Powder instead of yeast is found to make a finer, lighter bread, devoid of all dyspeptic qualities. The same gas—carbonic—is produced as wjiere yeast is used, but it is evolved from the baking powder itself and not from the Hour. Thereby the bread Is made more wholesome and actually anti-dyspeptic. The greater convenience, where a batch of the finest bread can be made and baked in less than an hour, with no danger of a >-our or heavy loaf, must bo appreciated by every one. The receipt for making this bread is herewith given, and housekeepers will do well to cut It out ami preserve it. To make one loaf —-One quart flour, 1 teaspoonful salt, half a teaspoonful sugar, 2 heaping teaspoonfuls Royal Baking Powder, half medium-sized cold boiled potato, and water. Sift together thoroughly flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder; rub in the potato; add sufficient water to mix smoothly and rapidly into a stiff batter, about as soft as for poundcake; about a pint of water to a quart of flour will be required—more or less according to the brand and quality of the flour used. Do not make a stiff dough, like yeast bread. Pour the batter into a greased pan, 41x8 inches, and 4 inches deep, filling about half full. The loaf will rise to fill the pan when baked. Bake in very hot oven 45 minutes, placing paper over first 15 minutes baking, to prevent crusting too soon on top. Bake at once. Don't mix with milk. Perfect success requires the most careful observance of all these details. The author of the receipt emphasizes the statement that Royal Baking Powder only can be used because it is the only powder in which the ingredients are prepared so as to give that continuous action necessary to raise the larger bread loaf. To every reader who will write the result of her bread making from this receipt to the Royal Baking Powder Company, 106 Wall street. New York, that company will announce that they will send in return, free, a copy of a most practical and useful cook book, containing one thousand receipts for all kinds of baking, cooking, etc. Mention this paper. Female Drummers tu Europe. Women drummers have appeared in Europe, and, while not very numerous, those that are known are conspicuous for their ability and success. A young Swedish woman travels for a Scandinavian firm of machinists. She travels all over Europe, and expects to extend her territory. She recently arrived in Loudon direct from Moscow. and: was then expecting to start tor Melbourne, all in the line of her business. One London manufacturing firm employs several womqp commercial travelers, and several makers of dress goods have at least nno each. They find a woman’s taste of great value in this especial line, and it is said would engage more women to travel if they could find them with the necessary business capacity, good appearance, good manners, and good physique.

I had been afflicted with catarrh of the head, throat and nose, and perhaps the bladder for fully twerlty-five yekrs.. Having tried other remedies without success, I was led by an advertisement in the Sentinel-Demo-crat to try Hall’s Catarrh Cure. 1 have just finished my fourth bottle, and I believe I am right when 1 say I am thoroughly restored. I don’t believe there is a trace of the disease left. Respectfully, WM. BRIDGES, Merchant Tailor. SOLD BY DRUGGISTS. 75 cents. '■* >

‘August Flower” “ I have been afflicted with biliousness and constipation for fifteen years and first one and then another preparation was suggested to me and tried, but to no purpose. A friend recommended August Flower and words cannot describe the admiration in which I hold it. It has given -r me a new lease of life, which before was a burden. Its good qualities and wonderful merits should be made known to everyone suffering with dyspepsia and biliousness. ” Jessr Barker, Printer, Humboldt, Kas.® r~.olio steel nsMlßKiAC.C'r'flsw i 1 \ OmhCmSlW \ ; I'ZWBEwB.m . \ jaHßlggZgn' TO JUMBO The Alexandra Improved Cream Sep* arator ;capa:ity 2..500 to 4,000 pounds per hour; rwo horse power will run it.
