Those unduly pessimistic souls who have been overimpressed by the series of 'accidents which have occurred in Uncle Sam 's navy should read the Hampshire Telegraph, an English newspaper which makes a specialty of naval notes and news. On one page of a single recent issue the following startling and self ex planatory headlines occur: "On a Dangerous Course. Grounding of the Balatea. Navigator's Serious Mistake.-' "Shocking Accident on H. M, 8. Howe. Three Men Fright fully Injured. " "Accident on Board H. M. S. Blake. Seaman Fatally Crushed. Two Artificers and a Stok er Scalded." Another headline has in it a certain amount of humor. It reads, "Shocking Occurrence on the Sans Pareil. ' ' The shocking occur rence was the death of a gunner who tried to put seven pints of rum under his skin, and succeeded, but did not live to enjoy the proceeding. Philadelphia Rress. Arms and Legs. According to the result of many measurements made at the Anthro pological laboratory in London, the right arm in human beings is in a majority of cases longer than the left arm, while, on the contrary, the lett leg is longer than the right leg. sometimes, however, the relative proportions are exactly reversed, but very seldom does perfect equal ity exist between the two sides. The tendency of the right arm to exceed i the left arm in strength is somewhat greater in, men than in women, while equality of strength in the two arms occurs almost twice as frequently vi;h women as with men. , Science knew nothing of the roc until certain Malagasy natives came .to Mauritius to buy rum, bringing With them huge egg shells to serve s receptacles.

KILLING WOLVES. Some of the Method Used to Get Bid of the Pests. Whole families of the animals are sometimes ast)hvxiated in their dens. A wolf of the gray variety generally makes its home by getting on the side of a dirt gulch and borrowing straight inward until a safe distance from the Jtirface is reached. There her young are Porn and raised to sturdy cub estate. When a cowbov locates a den in Which he believes the entire family to 06 gathered, a composito mass of ootton, saturated with damn flour su-lDhur and u'oer noxious smelling substanoes, is thrust into the den and set 6n fire. The mouth of the hole is then filled with Nay tamped down solidly, and the im prisoned wolves are speedily suffocated Within. In this way froaa 6 to 10 and H wolves, young and old, are wiped w at one stroke. Another effective method is to bore jonr or more holes in a flat piece of ward and plug them np with beef fat soaked in strychnine. The odor? of the. t attracts any wolves that may be in the vicinity, and they lick the fat vora- ClOusly until the lfivpiiint nf nniann oes its work upon them and they drop dead. Very often as many as a dozen Solves are killed off by this process be fore the fat in the holes is exhausted. Strychnine inclosed in cansnles is also "aed. The capsule is thrust into a slit i in a chunk of beef, and the wolf, oiting the meat whole, falls an easy Victim. Stpnl trans hnirnrl with row 5f. are also tried with fair success.

At s so tn. night it was announced from th ? viui-u of State's Attorney Deneen that there would be no announcement of a verH rt in the Luetgert case before the opening oi vourt to-morrow morning.

This sort of outrage is common enough, ana owau opinion, such as it is, does not condemn the murder of & Kaffir white or black, Sikh or English, but to Kin a sanib is, too dangerous to the tribal pocket and the tribal ey. istence to be lightly attempted. Before long the district will settlo down to a more peaceful state, jrotn an archeeoloencal and relierioua standpoint, this part of the country tun of a peculiar interest f or these Swat valleys were the verv seat and center of early Buddhism. No mound is ever disturbed without great quantities of Buddhist relics and objects of worship being discov ered, iirst ot all, there are the statues of Asoka himself, then groups collected around him after the manner of the mediaeval nip- tures of the adoration, and, lastly, friezes of a classical kind. The taste and style are somewhat varied, the later ones betraying the usual evi dence of Hindoo influence in the grotesqueness of their art. Most of the earlier kind are full of Greek types, and were undoubtedly the result of the conquest of Alexander the Great. At Cbukdurra. ten miles beyond the Malakund, there is a bridge over the Swat river at a rjlace where tradition says a certain por tion of Alexander s army crossed, coming into India the same way our force went up to ChitraL In the museums some of these Buddhist memorials have been pieced togeth er, and in that way show how high was the artistic power of the artists of early days. Such is the fanati cism of the Swati population even now that they hardly ever bring in a .Buddha without first initiating him by chopping off the classic nose. Very properly the finds thus spoiled earn no rewards. It is just this fa naticism that requires keeping in check. The brigade at Malakund and at the various posts and forts is kept at full strength and not with out need. Even so, it strikes the most casual critic that it is too near the base and too concentrated to keep the Chitral road as open as it ought to be. A half way house will soon have to be found and furnished. The "English Golfer." It can hardly be wondered that the term "English golfer" be came one of reproach upon the northern courses. The pilgrims from the south were, in fact, a terri ble nuisance. They had no respect for the sacred traditions of the game ; they appeared on the classic heath of St. Andrews adorned in flaring "blazers," which filled the mind of the orthodox Scot with loathing; they never played a match, but toil ed round the links with pencil and card, intent on deceiving themselves into the belief that they were daily lowering their record. A famous old caddie at North Berwick expressed the general feeling of his outspoken class when he pointed to one of these misguided individuals busily en gaged with his card on one of the putting greens, utterly oblivious to the fact that he was delaying ihe field, while he worked in the higher branches of arithmetic and remark ed, in a loud tone of contempt to one of his party: "D'ye see yon man? D'ye ken the best club in his set it's his pencil." H. J. Whigham in Scribner's. Domesticating the Wasp. At a recent meeting of the British association Sir John Lubbock is re ported to have exhibited a wasp which he had tamed during the three months f its semicaptivity. The little creature seemed attached to its owner, never stinging the hand that fed it-with sugar, but allowing itself to be petted and gently strok ed. Trips into the outer air are al lowed to the domesticated wasp, but. it always returns to the bottle in which it resides. Truly this was a curious pet Chinese Sailors and the Fire Drill. In St. Nicholas is an article by Lieutenant John M. Ellicott, U. S.

One day there was at real fire. Volumes of smoke poured up from the forehold, and it took several streams of water nearly an hour to put out the flames. When the fire was under control, some one thought of the Chinamen, and, be hold, there they were, ranged in line and in plain sightof the smoking hatchway, rapidly passing their buckets along, but emptying them over the ship's side, as they had been taught to do 1 In the mountain regions of Ger many there are more than 100 cheap inns for the special benefit of stu dents who are on their vacation tramp.

Dr. Weir Mitchell's novel of the American Revolution, "Hngh Wynne," in The Century, contains a highly dramatic incident. The hero, who is on Washington's staff, obtains permission from the com mander to serve as a volunteer un der the Marquis Lafayette in anight attack on the redoubt at Yorktown. There he meets his English cousin, with whom he is at enmity on grounds of love as well as of loyal ty. The following scene occurs: To left and right was till a mad struggle, and wbat with the Bengal fires still blazing and a heap of brush in flames at one side of the redoubt there was light enough to see. Near about was a clear space, and there was a pause such as occurs now and then in such a scrimmage. There were still men who held back and to whom, as I pushed on, I called: "Come on! We have them!" A great Mnd from the sea blew the smoke away, so that it was easy to see. As I called out to the men who hesitated on the outer slope, as some will, I heard before me a voice cry, "This way;, men I" and, turning, caught sight of the face of Arthur Wynne. He, too, saw and knew me. He uttered an oath. I remember crying out, "At lastl" as I dashed at him. I heard ahead of me cries for "Quarter, quarter!" The mass of striving men had fallen back, and, in fact, the business was at an end. I saw Jack run from my left toward me, but he stood still when he saw what was happening, and instantly as he came Arthur and I crossed swords. What else chanced or who else came near I knew not. I saw for the time only that one face I so hated, for the heap of brush in the work was still blazing. As is true of everv Wvnne I ever knew when in danger I became cool at once. I lost no time, hut nrpesori him hard, with a glad sense that he was no longer my master at the game: I meant to kill him, and as he fell back I knew that at last his hour had come. I think he, too, knew it. He fenced with caution and was as cool as L Just as I touched him in the right shoulder I felt a wounded Heesian clutch my leg. I fell squarely backward, mv cousin lunging savagely as I drop ped, l nad been done for had not Jack struck up his blade as I lav. calling out : "Coward 1" I was up in a moment, pretty sav age, and caught sight of my Jack fencing with my man, as calm as if we were in old Pike's gallery. As stood, panting it was but a mo ment I saw Jack's blade whip vi ciously round Arthur's and naes through his breast, nearly to the guard. My cousin cried I know not what, fell to one side and then in a hean across a dead grenadier. "Better I than thou," cried Jack, blowing hard. "He will play no more tricks. Come on." With a glance at mv enemv I hur ried past him over dead and wound ed men, a cannon upset, muskets oast away and what not. "This way, Wynne," said the marquis. "C'est finil Get those fellows together, gentlemen." Our men were huddling the pris oners in a corner and collecting their arms. A red faced New Hamp shire captain was angrily threaten ing Major Campbell, the commander of the redoubt, who had just surren dered. Colonel Hamilton struck up the captain's blade, or I do believe he would have killed the major. He was furious over the death of Colonel Scammel, who was greatly beloved and had been killed by Hessians after having given up his sword. It was over, and I went back to see what had become of Arthur. He was alive, and, having dragged him self to the inner wall of the redoubt, was now seated against it. Jack soon found a lantern, and bv its light we looked at Arthur. He was covered with blood, but was con scious and stared at me with dull eyes, without power to say a word. Take care ot him.

The snuffboxes presented to the first Duke of Wellington (now in the possession of the present duke at Apsley House) are very numer ous. At the beginning of the cen tury a snuffbox was the usual gift bestowed upon men of distinction by potentates and public bodies, and they were showered upon the hero of Waterloo on his return to Eng land. Several of them . would ap pear to have been greatly valued by the Iron Duke, for they contain slips of paper with the names of the do nors written in his own spmewbat peculiar handwriting. The freedom of almost every corporation of note in the kingdom was bestowed npon him, the formal parchment being inclosed in a handsome snuffbox. Strand Magazine. Her Ambition. This incident was told by an ac tress who was once playing Rosa lind "M Boston, and playing it, as she fancied, rather acceptably. As she entered her dressing room at the theater one night a note was handed to her which read in this wise: "Dere lady I work for a dentist but I have spoiled so many of his teeth saying over your part in the play that now I can say it just . as well as you do, and I want you to let me try it tonight and see if I can't tor the dentist says he cannot have me any more and I must pay for his teeth, and so I must go on the stage and I will be here at 7 o'clock."

This was followed by a further ! )s ot 34 points, predictions of a heavy movement cf cotton at the ports adding to the weakness and causine the liauidation of a number ot lone accounts, while en couraging shorts to increase their lines. rears 01 a reaction as the result of pos. sible overselling turned the market later. The uDward movement was or. credited by less satisfactory weather con ditions in the cotton belt; prices ad vanced 3a4 points from the lowest coin's. On the rise there nrer nm in. dications of investment buying upon a conservative scale.
