EVOLUTION OF THE KNIFE.
The Evolution pf This TJaefal Implement
j From the Sharpened Flint.
"This case full of instruments
which we have newiy placed on ex
hibition, is designed to show the de
velopment of the tool which we call
the knife, beginning with the earliest
times," said Prof. Mason at the Na
tional Museum to. a Star reporter.
"First, you observe, is the fragment
of flint which the savacre SDlit bv
by banging it on top with a stone
hammer into a number of flakes.
The jsmallerj ones were used for ar
row points and the bigge- ones for
Knives, tneir edges Demg spat off so
sharp that you might almost shave
with' some Of them. Next you see
the flint flake inserted into a handle
of split wood or hone, and, as fur-
tnen improvements, the fastening of
; 1' .m 9 mm
this primitive knife in the handle by
the rosin of trees and by cords of
one sort or another bound around to
secure it. The most beautiful knife
in the collection , is the exquisitely
moljded blade of greenish jade be
longing to the stone age branded
with a walrus tusk. , You can hardly
find a more admirably formed wea
pon among the products of modern
cutlery wares. Most curious of the
modern tools here is this sailor's
knife, square at the end instead of
pointed, to : prevent stabbing in a
row or the dangerous falling of the
weapon from aloft.. Its blade drops
out at, the end of the handle, when a
catch is touched, so that Tack can
h01d a rope with one hand and open
the knife for service without, the
need of ten fingers."

MYRIADS OF WILD FOWL. ;
A Time and Place Where Sportsmen
Might Have Bevelled.
' '.Baltimore Sun. ,
The myriads of water fowl seen
on the surface of the Delaware river
last week would be the envy of
every sportsman who could witness
the countless droves. For some un
known reason on Wednesday and
Thursday last the river literally
swarmed with Wild fowl, principally
ducks of the black,1 mallard and
sprig-tail varieties, with an occasion
al bunch of coy geese, who raised
the alarm lot danger with, their
"Honk! honk!" at every approach
ing vessel, and in dignified single
file - flew to sequestered quarters.
The presence of these great flocks
of ducks is accounted for. They
came in .! a night from the
South, hovered about over the
river two days and then
continued their flight i northward.
The massiveness of these huge
droves would almost indicate that
every other feeding ground had been
depopulated, and the feathered gour
mands had gathered for a tempting
feast. Whatever they found so pala-:
table ' no one can ascertain, but
either through . the yearning of
an appetite, whetted by long
asting and a hard flight, or be
cause of the . luring : nature of
the deposit of food, the ducks
were practically ' insensible to dan
ger and would scarcely rise until
boats were in their midst, when the
spectre sails or clouds of steam
would distract their attention from
the aqueous bill of fare and put
them to flight for a short distance.
ABOUT TWENTY ACRES BURNED OVER
Loss Estimated at a Quarter of a Million,
" With Insurance for $150,000.

Campbell & Co.'s furniture factory, on
King street. It soon got beyond con
trol of the fire department and rapidly
took in everything in the near neigh

flames were under control and the field
of destruction covered twenty acres.

The loss on the destruction of these
cars will not fall short of $75,000, making
a total loss to the railroad company ot
about $125,000. The amount of insurance
is not known. There were several small

Paris April 29. The j most serious
feeling of alarm prevails in official cir
cles here at the ' possibility of an anar
chist outbreak May 1st. As a result the
military and police authorities ' have
taken and are taking the most extreme
precaution and are .making every pre
paration possible to effectually meet and
suppress any disorder on the part of an-4
archists or others. Several violent an-
archist manifestoes . intended to incite
soldiers composing the garrison of Paris
and its neighborhood to revolt have been
recently circulated by agents of anar
chists.- Several of these incendiary doc
uments are in the possession of the pp-:
iice who are now engaged in
searching the residences of -r anar
chist leaders. It is announced that
from to-day until the May day excite
ment is over, no soldiers wilt be allowed
to leave their barracks, except on guard
duty or to bring in supplies of provi
sions, etc.. even omcers are continea
to the barracks. To each soldier of the
garrison one hundred rounds of ball
cartridges have been distributed. The;
military authorities have alrfo arranged
plans of communicating with diSerent
military posts, barracks and forts, and
have completed arrangements for con
centration and distribution at a point
of vantage of troops available in case Of
disorder. Thur tbe entire military and
police force of Paris is prepared almost
at a moment's notice to issue forth from:
their quarters and occupy, the streets
and squares of Paris in such a manner
that' any anarchist movement will be

of a severe type, and a numbe of

Calcutta. April 29. Mrs. Fi C.
Grimwood, wife of Mr. Grimwood, jlate
British political agent at Manipur, who
was murdered when Chief Commissioner
Quinton and other British officials lost
their lives, has arived in this city. Ac
cording to Mrs. Grimwood's account of
the Manipur massacre, the whole disas
ter was entirely due to the rashness of
Commissioner Uuinton in refusing; to
listen to the sensible advice given him
in regard to negotiations being con
ducted with a native chief concerning
the deposition of the Maraiah. Mrs.
Grimwood adds that the British have
little right to complain of Senaputty's
treachery, in so much as aenaputty
(second brother of the deposed Ma-
rajah and commander-in-chief of the
Manipuri forces) was invited by Uuin
ton to attend a durbar with the direct
intention of taking him unawares
and placing him under arrest
without bloodshed, which would, it was
supposed, have resulted from an attempt
to openly arrest him. Senaputty became
suspicious of Quinton 's intention and did
not appear at the durbar: ana captured
his expected captors, and afterwards al
lowed the Manipuris to f wreak bloodyj
vengeance upon his captives. j
Mrs. Grimwood s storyi which no one
seems to doubt is a true version of the
events which led up to the Manipur
massacre, has caused severe reflections
to be cast upon the manner in which the
entire Manipur incident has been
handled from the time the Maraiah was
deposed down to the apparently inexpli
cable delav in pushing forward British
forces. .

been all duly -honored, at the Board of.
Trade clearing house, and unfavorable
stories to the effect that he had myste
riously disappeared and had probably
either committed suicide or was wander
ing about demented. Fine weather and
lower cables also had their influence on
the market, and uncertain news received
regarding the French duty tended to
create an unsettled! feeling. The result
was that July wheat opened at $1.04
1.04J4 against $1.06 at the close yes
terday. Some operators having trades
with Hutchinson closed them out, but
the market did not sink below the open
ing inside figures, for the shorts began to
buy heavily, and the price, quickly ad-,
vanced to $1.05, then eased off again
and for a considerable time was held
within $1.041.35; then the follow

around: Corn was unchanged, strong

other leading bears showed heavy lines
ou the advance. A dispatch was re
ceived contradicting the reported re
moval of the -French ' duty, and the
weakness again set in. It was helped
by the report of Hutchinson's disappear
ance; on the strength of which a good
deal of bis long stuff was thrown on the
market, This caused a break to $1.04.
Closinc cables were stronger: however.
and July sold up again to $1.05, but
weakened later and closed below that.
I here was much activity and excite
ment in corn with wide and irregular
range of prices, chiefly the result of
the : Hutchinson rumors. The " mar
ket opened weak at 61M61Mc
for July on report that a large line of
r'16ng" property was to be sold, and
offerings of local room traders were
heavy. The property referred to not
coming on the market, prices suddenly
reacted, selling up to 52c Early sell
ers turned buyers at a considerable loss.
The advance did not hold; estimates for
to-morrow of 596 cars being announced,
prices receded to nearly the opening
figures. Some long property also came
on the market about this time, which
had a depressing influence, but-on the
rumor that -the French, import duty
would beremoved took a jumpto 63c,
eased off on contradiction of this, and
closed at 62c.
Oats were active and unsettled, and al
though the opening was weaker ' and
lower reacted and closed 3lc higher
than yesterday. A good deal of long
stuff came out, but after the flurry sub
sided a better feeling developed. The
change was chiefly due to the large de
mand for cash oats from shippers who
bought so freely as to advance prices
34 cents. -
Provisions were weak for a short
time near the opening,- in sympathy
with grains, but recovered with cereals.
Pork closed at a loss of five cents,
compared with yesterday's close, and
lard was off 2c, but ribs are up 2c.
COTTON.
The New York Futures Market Yesterday.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star,
New York, April 29. The5'i cot
ton circular says:
Futures advanced 6 to 8 points, then
became quieter and closed barely steady.
Liverpool opened at some decline, but
made a quick rally and then an irregular
advance. Although the course of the
the Liverpool market was believed to be
largely under the influence of the ma
nipulation our operators could not shake
off its influence and the opening of our
market was quite buoyant with free buy
ing for August. The market soon be
came quieter, but efforts to break the
advance had little success and there was
onlv 1 or 2 points decline, from the best
figures of the morning. Spot cotton
was quiet.

BABY ONE ISOLD) SOBU;
Tried Everything without Belief.
No
Rest Night or Day. Cored by
Cutlcura Remedies.
My baby, when two months old. hmA a hmWinv
out with what the doctor called eczema. Her head,
arms, feet, and hands were each one solid sore. I
tried everything, but neither the doctors nor anything
else did her any good. We
could get no rest day or night
with her. In my extremity
i tnea we cuticuka kiiii
dies, but I confess I had no
taitn in them, for I had never
seen them tried. To my
great surprise, in one week's
t time after beginning to use
the Cuticdra Remedies, the '
sores were well, but I con
tinned to use the Resolvent
for a little while, and now
she is as fat a baby as you
would like to see, and as
sound as a dollar. I believe my baby would have
died if I had not tried CtrncuKA Remedies. I write
this that every mother with a baby like mine .can feel
confident that there is a medicine that will cure the
worst eczema, and that medicine is the Cuticuka
Remedies.
Mrs. BETTIE BIRKNER, Lockbart, Texas.
