COUNCIUOUTIIIE Several Matters Given Consideration by City Fathers Last Night.

REPORT OF LIGHT PLANT. Council devoted much of its time last evening to the Dayton & Western franchise matter, but found time to , transact some other business, i An ordinance was passed at the request of City Controller Webster Parity appropriating $750 for the pur- ' chase of new hose and an additional dump wagon for the street cleaning department; for boarding prisoners at the county jail convicted of violations of the loitering ordinance and for the expense of securing new office books, required by the new depository law. Must Provide Ducts. Mr. Deuker stated that he thought the city should now demand that lire alarm wires be placed under ground, .calling attention to the fact that the Central Union and the Home telephone companies were now working i under the terms of their franchises I ducts must be provided for the fire alarm wires. He said that Chief MilI ler of the Are department was only too willing to assist in this work. ; Mr. O'Neal of the board of public works stated that the hoard had this matter under consideration. Arrangements had been made to place fire alarm wires In the conduit of the Central Union company, but the work, on this conduit had been suspended. Now that the Central Union and the Home companies had entered into an agreemant Mr. O'Neal thought that arrangements would soon be completed j to have the city's wires taken care of. Mr. Engelbert stated that the road ; leading up Newman's hill , northwest part of the city was in such bad condition that. the people residing there were complaining that it is impossi- , ble for them to have groceries, meats, ietc, delivered to their homes. He also stated that the foot bridge over the ; river at the base of the hill was in a 'bad condition. Mr. Deuker stated that North D street was in bad condition, being filled with chuck holes and otherwise the worse for wear. He asked that this street be improved. Plant Shows Balance.

Bow Teasels Are Cued In Finishing Different Cloth. Growing by the wayside you will often see that stately, spiny looking plant, the teazel, but I wonder how many know that it has helped to finish many a piece of cloth they wear. We are apt' to think of a tool as something of man's make, yet here Is one of nature's own, and nothing has ever been manufactured to successfully take Its place. For ages the teazel Las been used for fulling cloth that Is, raising the "nap" and the manufacturers refer to "nap goods" thus treated as "gigged." When ripe, the dried spike heads are gathered, packed carefully in bundles and shipped In all directions to factories. The variety mostly used have the extreme end of the spikes hooked or curved . backward. This is called "fullers' teasel." These heads form' a sort of " brush and are attached to a wheel or cylinder which revolves a gainst' the surface of the cloth, and these curved spikes catch part of the threads aad pnll them up, making a fuzzy nap. This is trimmed down and leaves that soft, velvety finish to the cloth. The-eplkes have strength enough and elasticity, kut when they come in contact with- a rough place In the cloth they break and so avoid tearing, the material. Try as they may, no one has ever been able to invent a tool possess-ing-all of these qualities, so the teazel stands unrivaled for that use. The plant as we see It growing wild looks perhaps at first glance somewhat like a thistle, but It really has a dignity and character all Its own. The heads In flower are covered with a fluffy down, lavender or white, and as the blossoms drop spikes appear until later It fairly bristles. The leaves, pointed and spiked, shooting out each side ! of the stem, meet at tbe base and form a little basin In which Is usually water. So we have the name of the plant from the Greek "dlpsacus," meaning thirsty, and many other fanciful ones, such as Venus' cup, Venus' bath, wood or church brooms, gypsy combs, clothier's brush, etc. St. Nicholas. SUNSHINE AND SHADOW. Clrcu and Negro Get Drunk and Are Fined. Dave RIckman, a negro, and Mrs. Eva Wilson, an ex-circus rider, were driving about in each other's company yesterday. They were intoxicated and so the police arrested them. This morning they were fined $5 and costs each. RIckman went to jail and the woman was given an opportunity to pay or stay her fine. The two were witnesses In the Haager divorce case. and were at the court house together. AnxLAros: Mother says "they can't say anything too

STORY OF THE FLOOD One of the Strange Legends of the Yuma Indians.

CAUSE OF THE GREAT STORM. The Tipping Up of the Earth Caused ths Deluge Which Engulfed the World The Mysterious Ark and the Escape of the Chosen Few. To this day the great deluge recorded in the Bible Is a mystery to the North j American Indian. lie will not be led to believe that the flood was brought about by the sins of man. lie is equally unwilling to believe that it was the work of an angry God, as he could not see how the Almighty should be so unjust as to punish the Indians of ' America for the naughty things of a race of people across the ocean. Another reason which makes It still more difficult for the Indian to believe that the flood was a punishment to the world Is the fact that with him there is no sin. In his language there is no such word, nor does he expect to be punished for any of his acts. But though there is no equivalent to the word sin in the Indian language (nor In the Indian mind until the Christians came), the Indians have their philosophy in regard to what Is commonly so termed. Some of their teachers (most of whom claimed to have been taught the philosophy of life and its laws directly by disembodied spirits or by ethereal beings from other planets) taught that as man lives here so Is his life hereafter. If he is quarrelsome or warlike here, so he will be in the more spiritual life. If he Is serene and contented here, so he will be there, etc. The deluge, as described by the few who were miraculously saved, was the more grandly terrible in that it came on suddenly. From the highlands occupied by the Indians they saw the waves of the sea sweep In upon the land and recede, only to advance with immensely Increased volume and stupendously huge breakers. Then there came a terrific storm that seemed to blow from all and In all directions. The storm caused huge waterspouts which appeared over the wild ocean as far as the eye could see. The terrified people fled to the mountains, but these were all soon to be submerged, with the exception of one. This mountain which alone remained uncovered by the flood is called Avee-heilah (Mountain of the Moon), yet today it is not a very high mountain. For awhile before the mountains became submerged there was a great calm, and a dense fog covered the earth. Then suddenly a mighty boat appeared to the awed view of the Indians. It approached and stopped at the several mountains still uncovered by the waters, and at each point where It touched, as if guided by invisible intelligence, the Indians, as if obeying an unspoken but potent command, entered the boat. The boat rested first at a place called Avee-qua-lul (mountain peak), now FIlot Knob, on the border of Mexico. There was a mesa on the top of this mountain, though. at this day It does not exist, and on this mesa the Indians first celebrated their delivery. This they did by playing sacred games, chanting sacred songs, etc. On rocks at the foot of this peak there are, hieroglyphics in an unknown language, which some of the Indians believe were made by those who survived the flood. Fetrifled driftwood is still to be seen two-thirds the distance up the sides of Avee-heilah, which drift, the Indians say, was deposited by the waves of the great flood. The Indians, having rested for a time on the mountain peak, again entered the boat and were carried eastward, eventually to a small valley. Here they again rested, and then, leaving the boat, they wandered from one place to another, after a time returning to the valley. To their surprise, the boat was gone, it could not have floated away, for the land was dry whereon they had left it, the flood having subsided after a great calm of its waters. The boat could not have crumbled to pieces, for there had not been time for its decay. They could only conclude that the mysterious boat, having fulfilled its mission of preserving a few of their race, had disappeared as miraculously as it had appeared. The spot Where the mysterious boat, or ark, had rested was marked by the Indians placing there a huge log. They called the place Qual-Jo-para (boat's resting place). This spot Is held sacred by the Indians, who will seldom point it out to strangers. Not many hundred years ago, it is said, some Indian warriors were passing the spot, and one of them to show his skepticism shot an arrow into the side of the great log. Immediately a stream of blood gushed from the spot pierced, and the skeptic fell dead. The story of the event was carried to all the near tribes, and since then Indians passing the place fear to even look leisurely at the log. A reason given by the Indians as the probable cause of the flood was that there was a tribe of Indians who, like Columbus, believed that the earth was not flat, but round, and to prove whether this theory were true thousands from the different tribes banded together and started out on a Journey to find the edge of the earth if it was flat The flood occurred soon after the Indians started on this journey, so that they really believed that those adventurers had reached the edge of the earth acd their weight had tipped the earth to such an extent as to cause the water to rush in on the land.

WONDERFUL MIRAGES.

False Peak of Tenerife and Illusion In the Dardanelles. The peak of Tenerife is known among deep sea sailors as the -false peak." Owing to some peculiarity of the atmosphere it is always seen by mirage in exactly the opposite direction from which it lies, and only the fact that all captains know that the mirage appears long before the true peak is visible through the most powerful glaes prevents many a ship from sailing many miles out of her course. It is hard for a greenhorn to believe that the majestic purple mountain towering astern or on the port beam apparently only a short distance off is in reality miles away in exactly the opposite direction and the seemingly solid earth at which he Is gazing is only a reflection on the clear mirror of the air. Many weird tales are told of shipwrecked men who have steered for the false peak in the expectation of finding land and have perished of hunger and thirst while pursuing the phantom mountain. Sometimes the passengers and crew of a vessel on the lookout for the false peak see a much rarer and more beautiful mirage, that of a ship in the sky. It usually appears about 10 o'clock in the morning, about ten degrees above the horizon and under full sail, every delicate spar and tapering mast clearly visible against the bine ether and even the play of light and shadow in the I bellying canvas plainly discernible to ! the naked eye. It generally remains in j sight half an hour or more lefore gracefully fading away. The oldest mariner can never remember having seen the mirage of a steamer in that latitude, but always that of a full rigged ship, and this peculiar fact has given birth to many romantic legends about the ship In the sky, all connecting it in some way with the false peak. The vicinity of the Dardanelles is the real home of mirages, and it is seldom that ony vessel sails along the Syrian coast without seeing one or more. Oddly enough, the mirages of the Dardanelles are always the reflections of objects that can be seen with the naked eye and are invariably distorted in grotesque and fantastic caricatures of the things reflected. It is certainly startling to see a steamer bearing down with her masts where her water line and should be and the i water line where the tops of the masts and funnel ought to show, while her decks are in the right place, thus adding to her uncanny appearance, but this is a frequent sight near the Dardanelles. There is one peculiar feature of the mirages which hover near the false peak the real objects of which they are reflections are so far away that very often they are never sighted until long after the reflection has vanished, and sometimes not at all. New York Press. Tha Lion's Attack. As to a lion's method of attack Frederick Courteney Selous says In his book: "As a rule, I think, a Hon seizes a sleeping man by the head, and In that case, unless It is a very old and weakly animal, death must usually be Instantaneous, as Its great fang teeth will be driven into the brain through the thickest negro skull." Similarly, when a lion attacks an animal It tries to get at the head or the throat at the vitals of the animal. Says Mr. Selous: "My experience is that when a single Hon tries to kill an 01 or a buffalo it Invariably seizes it near the muzzle with one paw and usually succeeds in either breaking its victim's neck or causing it to break it itself by its own weight in falling. When several lions attack an ox or a buffalo they will often bite and tear It all over and take a long time to kill it" Curious Old Laws. Some of the old laws of Nepal, India, were curious. Killing cows ranked with murder as a capital offense, for instance. Every girl at birth was married with great ceremony to a betel fruit, which was then cast into a sacred stream. As the fate of the fruit was uncertain the girl was supposed never to become a widow. To obtain divorce from a husband a wife had only to place a betel nut under his pillow and depart In Nepal the day is considered to begin when it ia light enough to count the tiles on the roof or distinguish the hairs on a man's hand against the sky. Trained. "My men work well," said a police commissioner, "because they are well trained. Training, you know, is everything." lie paused and smiled. "Two physicians were discussing," he said, "a certain pretty nurse. " 'Was she a trained nurse?' said the first physician. " 'She must have been,' replied the other. 'She hadn't been in the hospital a week before she was engaged to the richest' patient.' " Washington Star. A Limited Luxury. Two Irishmen were discussing the phenomenon of sleep. Said one, "01 hear as wan av thim poethry lads calls it 'bald nature's hair reshtoorer.' " "Yis," assented the other; "shlape'a a grand luxury.

Hot Weather Breakfasts Served Free If you still go without Mapl-Flake, let us furnish one package free. This is the ideal breakfast. Don't wait till summer is over before vou know this fact.

These are not good days for fad foods. Hot j weather is the time for whole wheat. ! Wheat is the food of the ages. The time will i never come when other cereals can take the j

place of wheat. It is doubly important now, because it produces the minimum heat. And it gives the maximum nourishment. Heat-producing foods, in summer, should be sparingly employed. At least one meal a day should be Mapl-Flake and fruit. Comfort and health demand it.

But wheat uncooked would be indigestible. And wheat half-cooked would only half digest. The particles must be separated by a fierce heat so the digestive juices can get to them. Else part of the wheat goes to waste. Worse than that, it ferments and causes digestive disorders. Even mere economy requires that the wheat be prepared in the proper way.

So we spend 96 hours to make Mapl-Flake. It could be prepared, as some flakes are, in 18 or 20 hours. We steam-cook the wheat for six hours. Then we cure it for days a partial digestive process. Then we flake each separate berry so thin that the full heat of our ovens can attack every particle. Then those thin flakes are toasted 30 minutes In a heat of 400 degrees.

CITIZENS AT LAST HEED WARNING Now Engaged in Trimming Trees. More than one half of the residents who were notified to trim the shade trees in front of their residences have responded to the notices. After the evening papers were distributed about the city yesterday afternoon and the readers that the oft repeated threat of the police department is to be foleawyers became busy immediately. The dump wagons of the city's street cleaning department hauled more branches of trees than anything else today. ODDITIES. Bees never store up honey where It is light The moth has a fur jacket and the butterfly none. A squirrel comes down a tree bead first and a cat tail first. Leaves will attract dew when boards, sticks and stones will not. Corn on the ear is never found with an uneven number of rows. The dragon fly can devour its own body and the head still live. A horsefly will live for hours after the head has been pinched off. Fish, files and caterpillars may be frozen solid and still retain life. A horse always gets up fore parts first and a cow directly the opposite. Some flies thrust their eggs into the bodies of caterpillars, but always in such parts of the body that when the larvae are feeding on the flesh of the foster parent they will not eat into any vital part. Pans on People's Xasaes. A little while ago a popular form of social amusement was found In punning on people's names "Why did So-and-BO?" "Because Such-and-such." The game ran riot for a time, and echoes of it are still heard in the outer suburbs. Before those echoes die away a correspondent suggests that we should put it on record that the originator of the fashion was no less notable a person than the Quaker poet, John Greenleaf Whittier. On an antislavery lecturer named Mary Grew, visiting Boston in 1871. Whittier wrote a poem, "How Mary Grew," each stanza ending on a variation of the pun The world were safe if but & few Could grow In grace as Mary Grew. London Chronicle. Not In Any County. The city of St. Louis is not in any county. It is an Independent municipality equipped with all the machinery of county and city government It has Its own circuit and criminal courts, Its own grand Jury, Jail, etc. The circuit attorney is the prosecuting officer of St Louis. Until 1S76 St. Louis was the county seat of St. Louis county, but in that year the city was completely separated from the county, so that It is now as independent subdivision of the state. Clayton, a few miles west of the city. Is now the courthouse town of St Louis county. St Louis Republic. The Jersey Cow. The Jersey cow is a small animal, and therefore her maintenance ration is small, while a relatively large part of her food goes to profit. She is a persistent milker, often a perpetual milker, and ordinarily not dry more than six or eight weeks in a year. She has an extremely long period of usefulness In the dairy. Five years cover the profitable work of the average cow. The Jersey produces until fifteen years old. Many are profitable when eighteen to twenty-one years of age. Farmer. 1

MONARCHY IS RAIMENT. Clothing- la the Power That Governs the Unman Hare. There is no power without clothes. It fs the power that governs the human race. Strip its chiefs to the skin, and no state could be governed; naked officials could exercise no authority: they would look (and be) like everybody else commonplace, inconsequential. A policeman in plain clothes la one man; in his uniform he is ten. Clothes and title are the most potent thing, the most formidable Influence, In the earth. They move the iiuman race to willing and spontaneous respect for the Judge, the general, the admiral, the bishop, the ambassador, the frivolous earl, the idiot duke, the sultan, the king, the emperor. No great title Is efficient without clothes to support It. In naked tribes of savages the kings wear some kind of rag or decoration which they make sacred to themselves and allow no one else to wear. The king of the great Fan tribe wears a bit of leopard skin on bis shoulder It Is sacred to royalty; the rest of him is perfectly naked. Without his bit of leopard skin to awe and impress the people he would not be able to keep his job. Mark Twain In North American Review. Bondsmen. In his "Ilistory of Coal Mining" It. W. Galloway points out that what appear to be traces of a primitive state of servitude existed in Staffordshire, England, where the laborers employed In the haulage of coal continued to be known as "bondsmen," a name probably coming down from a remote period, a supposition which receives support from a peculiar service required of them known as "bulldases." Th!s consisted In working at times in the morning without receiving any payment beyond a drink of ale. This custom of exacting labor without pay is supposed to represent some ancient service required from their tenants by the monks of the abbey of Buildwas, in Shropshire, whence the name was derived.
