From the special train that transports the property, animals and employes to the smallest detail, every thing about the Gentry show Is first class. The performanco and parade are all new for this year and It Is promised that the enter tainment furnished by the animal act ors Is more Interesting than ever be fore. This is the seventeenth year of the Gentry show and during that time the performance has continually been perfected until this year's program contains all that is best in the amuse ment line. The management of the Gentry shows make a special effort to take care of the children and the little folks are perfectly safe to attend the Gentry show unaccompanied by parents as the show has a corps of ushers whose especial duty is to look out for the little folks and to see to their comfort in every manner. The performance will be given rain or shine as the canvas is thoroughly water-proof and the show is given in the entirety at every place of exhibition. The date in this city is July 13. HAS REAL GRIEVANCE Prisoner Suffers Inconveniences in an Indian Jail. A prisoner in Rarupore Boalla jail has a clear grievance against the government. There are certain inconveniences inseparable from prison life which all reasonable criminals more or less unwillingly accept, but the most complaisant draw the line at being marked down and clawed by a leopardess in the seclusion of the prison yard. The animal seems to have been inspired by a suffragettelike curiosity as to the inside of a prison, and having got in by the highly irregular method of leaping the wall she ensconced herself among the low brick piers on which the old barracks are raised from the ground. In the early afternoon she espied a prisoner in the yard clearing up, and, like the impulsive creature she is, promptly leaped upon him, striking him to the ground and clawing his back. Then, with the fickleness of her sex, she suddenly changed her mind, and in an access of shyness ran away and hid herself among the brick pillars. Xow Col. R. R. Weir, inspector general of prisons, happened to be in the village, and to him the incident was reported. Though it cannot be said that the duties of an inspector general of prisons included the destruction of vermin, Col. Weir did not stop to consider technicalities, but borrowed a rifle. After some difficulty in getting within striking distance of the intruder as she lay in her fastness, he succeeded in planting his first shot behind her shoulder, after which nothing remained to be done but to drag off the carcass and record its tape measurements as more than seven feet. London Daily Telegraph. Largest Building Stone. The walls of the Acropolis at Baalbek are truly called Cyclopean. The famous Trilithoa, the largest stones ever used in building, measure respectively 65, 64 and 63 feet in length, each block weighing about 730 tons. How these huge masses were accurately placed in position 20 feet above the ground is a problem which modern science, with all its appliances leaves y-et unsolved. Above them are Arab fortifications. The quarries whence these gigantic materials were obtained are among the most interesting features of Baalbek. Here may still be seen the method of work of the ancient quarrymen, stones vertically hewn lying almost ready to the hand of the builder. One of these stones, to which the Arabs give the name HaJar-el-Huobia, measures 69 feet in length and weighs i13 tons. M. de Saulcy calculates It would take the united efforts of 40,000 men. to put this huge block in motion. This quarry is now used as a necropolis by the inhabitants of Baalbek, Sunday at Home. Taking Necessary Precaution. Neighbor No one ever hears you and your husband exchanging words. Do you get along so excellently together? Wife Not at all; but we discovered that the maid listened at the door. Now we quarrel only on Sunday afternoons between three and six, when she's out of the house. Fliegende Blaetter.

Saving a Cab Fare. Here's a pretty tale of domestic economy from an English paper. !! had been brought up in the lap of luxury and extravagance, and when bad times came and he had to go down to the city and look carefully after his shillings it was his pretty and tender little wife who helped hlra and encouraged him by example in small savings. One fence he never would face. He balked at taking a bus. "It might pass the club, you know, dear, and the fellows at the windows. One evening, however, he returned radiant to dinner. Tenderly embracing his life's partner, he murmured: "I've done It, darling! All the way for threepence!" Love and gratitude were in her eyes as she said: "My brave boy! Did you mind it very much?" "With affectionate cheeriness he made answer: "No, dear! Cot box seat; real good old sort, the driver. Told me lots of stories and was quite chatty. Capital chap! Gave him a big cigar and half a crown for himself when I got down."

How Frost Affects Plants. Tlant3 do not freezo to death in winter, but perish from thirst. The process is simple. The cold causes the withdrawal of the water from the cells of the plant, forming ice crystals out side of the cells. The frost, cooling j and contracting the surface, act3 as a sort of pump, and as soon as the coll is emptied of its life giving fluid the plant dies. The truth of this theory has been proved by numerous careful experiments. Great variation was found in the amount of cold necessary to cause the death of vegetation. Some plants dry out quickly and are killed before the freezing point is reached. Many plants will survive zero weather, and some die only at 20 degrees below. Certain vegetable growths never freeze. There are forms of bacteria that even when immersed in liquid air, the intensest cold available, come out of their bitter bath as chipper and lively as ever. Chicago Tribune. Precious Plant Stones. Among the many strange things to be found In the Philippine Islands are the so called "plant stones" encountered now and again In certain vegetable growths. The bamboo, for instance, according to Kultur mid Natur, contains a stone very similar to the opal, but on account of the rarity with which it is found it is much more costly than the opal. In many thousand cane stalks cut down and carefully examined there may perhaps be one in which this beautiful greenish pink scintillating stone has been formed from the minute particles of siliceous deposit that imparts its Intense hardness to the outer covering of the cane. The bamboo cane stone is known as tabashirs. In the Interior of some cocoanuts a stouelike secretion is found that is not inferior In brilliancy to the most beautiful genuine pearl. Wonderful Builders. A personal inspection of the pyramids made by an English quarry owner led him to the conclusion that the old Egyptians were better builders than those of the present day. ne found blocks of stone in the pyramids weighing three or four times as much as the obelisks on the banks of the Nile. He saw a stone the estimated weight of which was 800 tons. Many of the stones were found to be thirty feet in length and fitted so closely together that the blade of a penknife could be run over the surface without discovering the break between them. There is no machinery, he claims, so perfect that It will make two surfaces thirty feet in length which will meet together in unison as the stones in the pyramids meet. Ruskin to an Admirer. Ruskin, it is known, had his own ways of publishing his works, with the result that they were sometimes hard to get and expensive. According to the Great Central Railway Journal, he onco sent this letter to a stranger who wrote to him complaining of the price of his books: 4 "Woodstock Road, Oxford, th Nov., 'S4. aiy .Dear Blr I have ordered my publisher to send you in gift a book of mine ("Munera Pulverls") you have not rartBe content with, that at present, and Carlyie. Have not you Shakespeare, cheap? And the Bibla nowadays for nothing? What good do they do you? Faithfully jours, J. RUSKIN. A Curious Superstition. Among the superstitions of the Seneca Indians was this most beautiful one: When a young maiden died they imprisoned a young bird until it first began to try its powers of song, and then, loading it with caresses and messages, they loosed its bonds over her grave in the belief that it would not fold its wings nor close its eyes until it had flown to the spirit land end delivered its precious burden of affection to the loved and lost one. Decay of Laughter In England. I am perfectly certain that half our ills are due to the fact that we do not laugh enough. A good, sincere smile Is something rare in these times, a I "laughing face" Is scarce, and it Is ' seldom indeed that one hears a good, ringing laugh. London World. Neither SWI Nor Small. "When you do something you know is wrong, doesn't a still, small voice keep reminding you of it eternally?" "A still, small voice! I guess yoa never met my wife, did you?" Honston Post.

Fayette & Oakley Ave., Hammond. Pabst Brewing Co., Phone 2342. Ths Vanishing Trick. Into the grocer's shop walked an ancient lady with a slow and halting tread and carrying on her arm a basket containing a large earthenware pot with a lid. Placing the basket on the counter, she made various purchases, which she put carefully In the pot, and had her bill made out. "By the way," she said before paying this, "do you mind keeping this pot with the purchases in it until I come back and pay for them, as I have to buy other things some distance off, and it will be more convenient for me to leave the things here till later?" This request was willingly acceded to, and, lifting the pot carefully out of the basket, the old dame placed it, with an effort, in a corner; then, placing her basket on her arm, left the shop. Hours went by, day ripened into evening, and evening gave way to night, but the old woman did not return. At last the proprietor thought of examining the earthenware pot to see if by any chance it had its owner's address upon it, and great was his astonishment, not untlnged with dismay, to find that it possessed no bottom. London Answers. Witchcraft In the Nineteenth Century. Most people believe that witchcraft among civilized people ended when the "Salem witch mania" ran Its course and died out in the year 1G92. It did as far as America is concerned, except among savages, but In other countries the belief in the superstition did not die until a much later date, even if it can be truly said to be dead now. In France an old beggar was tortured to death as late as ISO" on the charge of being one who "communed with evil spirits," and in Spain a witch was burned In 1808. In 1SG0 in France a man and his wife tortured a suspected witch to death, and nothing at all was done with them by the criminal courts on account of the lingering belief ia sorcery. Four yearg later a witch was drowned In England, and in 1860 one was burned In Mexico. In 1S74, 1S70, 1SS0 nnd again in 1889 witches were publicly burned In Russia, and even as late as 1S00 regular Judicial trials of witches were had in Prussia, Poland and Austria-Hungary. Hoped Ho Wouldn't Grow. A well known member of parliament was addressing an agricultural meeting in the south of England and in the course of his remarks expressed the opinion that farmers do not sufficiently vary their crops and make a mistake In always sowing wheat One of the audience opposed to him in politics asked him what crops he would recommend. "Everything in turn," he replied. "Well," said his Interlocutor, "if swedes don't come up, what then?" "Sow mustard," said the M. P. "And if mustard doesn't come up, what then?" And so he went on through a whole list of crops until, the M. P.'s patience being exhausted, he put an end to hi3 questioning ?.mld roar3 of laughter by saying: "Oh, sow yourself, and I hope you won't come up." Circumstantial Evidence. Chick Bruce was a famous Adirondack guide, who accompanied Grover Cleveland on one or two of his hunting trips in those mountains. Chick left Mr. Cleveland sitting on a log one morning while he went out to drive down a deer should he chance to find one. When he came back he saw his distinguished employer still sitting on the log, but with the muzzle of his gun pointing directly at the presidential chest "Here," shouted Chick, "quit that, dod gast ye! Suppose that gun had gone off and you had killed yourself, what would have happened to me? Dern ye, everybody knows I'm a Republican!" Saturday Evening Post A Largo Order. The proprietor of a certain restaurant "leased" the reverse side of his bill of fare to a carriage manufacturer, i who prints advertisements thereon. The other day a customer, In a great hurry, ran Into the restaurant, sat at a table and was handed a bill wrong side trp by the flurried -waiter. The customer put on his pince-nez, curled his r -t&che with his left hand and ehoutev ""of thunder: "Bring me a fly, . .au'jau, Iwo victorias and a dogcart. Got any funeral cars?" The waiter fied.
