Hero is tlu latest: On Oetobor T, XT.)',), it little boforo sunset uu tho top of oik; of tho lulls near Ajueeio, three men with n military- up penrnnco mi. I wearing long overcoats stood lo Aing out upon tho sea. Although tho weather was magnificent, Hot Well a fishing boat was ill night; , tho gulf was deserted. At tho foot of tho mountain a portion of the town appeared, ninl tho port, in which four big ships were nt anchor. This was tho squadron which on August 23 loft Alexandria to brut j General B inipurto back to Frutico. Tho three observers, says Figaro, were Bonupurto himself, his chief of stall', lierthicr, and Admiral G.inthoa iimc. "There in no possible doubt about it, "said tho admiral, holding his glass; "there (roes nu En jliish war ship, uml further in tho distance I notice two others." "Do you HiippoHo that the English have received uny information?" sug gested Uet t liter. "No," Hiiid Bonaparte : "these ships nro putting to sea without paying uny attention to Corsica." "As a matter id' fact,, said Guntheu ume, "their course is nor'-nor'-west, niul they nro moving slowly, with very little wind, (tenoral, we shall bo obliged to put oil" our departure for twenty four hours." "That is impossible, admiral. Wo must lenvo this very night." "General, excuse mo for insisting, but it' ns everything seems to indicate, the English fleet is there, we would bo obliged to pass through its line, and it would bo verv ditli ;uit for us to do bo without being perceived. On n clear night like this tho chances arc all against us." "Admiral," said Itoiiuporte, slowly, "in the Eist a niati becomes a fatalist. Now I believe firmly tli it destiny is on my side. " At this moment ono of 111 ) sailors thutcsoortod the three ehiet'se line up. Ho reported it singular discovery. O.t the crest of the iiiountniu tho men found u mass of cut shrubberry, evi dently intruded to m ike a bonfire. This, in nil probability, was intended to bo n signal that night. As the bailor finished his report two gnu shots wero heard, and shortly ufterward two sailors brought u strug gling man before the chiefs. Two in dividuals urned with gnus wero found in ambush behind tho rock near tho path. When hailed they took to llight. On being pursued they tired. () io was enpturod, nnd tho sailors wero still pursuing tin oilier. Tho prisoner w as a young mnn about 20 yenrs old. Ho wore a brown cap and a hood. His dark face wore n sav age expression. His hard eyes sus tained tho haughtily and piercing glance of Bonupurto. 0.in theaiitno questioned him: "What wero you doing there, hiding near tho road nnd armed with guns?" "Wo wero watching for a wild boar. " "Why did you not answer when you woro hailed? Why did you run uwny, nnd why did you fire upon French Bailors?" "Wo aro mountuincrs nnd wo nro not ueqnuiuto I with uniforms. We believed that wo woro attacked, nnd naturally wo defended oiirsolvc. " "You nro spies iu tho employment of England," said Bonnpurto. You wero preparing n signal for tho Eng ish cruisers, but, on Heoing us, another ideacntao into your heads ; yo:i thought yon had a good chance to nssassinato Gouoral Bonaparte and you put your sclvos in ambush so that you might fire ou mo as 1 passed by. But it seems to mo that I know you. Wh it is your unmo?" Another report wits hear', ami Toi ces criod out: "Ho is den 1!" An expression of savage despair contracted tho features of tho prisoner and his eyelids beennio red. "You nro a Wturio," continued Bonupurto ; ono of tho bitterest ene mies of my family. Yes I hnvte B'M'ii you before; you are G.ovanai Vulturio. " "No,"Mtid the pri hi -r, in u hoarse ! voice. "Giovanni is tho man whom your hirelings have just iis-iassiuuted. I am his brother, Giuseppe, tho lust of tho Vulturios. " "You hnto me pretty hard, don't you?" said Bonaparte. "If I had three souls I would boll them with .delight to tho devil for tho chnuco of a singlo shot lit you." Bounpnrto looked ut him for a few seconds iu silence. "Aro you a good shot?" "At 500 yards I can drop an cngle. Do with mo what I would liko to do with you." "Bring him over to yonder bush," said Bouaparto to ono of tho sailors, "and count your steps in you advance. " Tho sailor placed himself at tho foot of the bush with the prisoucr, after having counted fifty pneos. "(live him his gun, "said Bonnpnrte. Tho sailor, almost stupilied, looked at the general, hesitated, but at last obeyed. Bonaparte then said to the bandit ; "Tuko good aim !" Without loosing x second over his Mil-prise Giuseppe pointed his gun. Tho scene wus so rapid and so ex- iraordiuary that the two companions of the general wi re tumble to inter fere. They remained there ns if they were paralyzed until the shot was lircd. With his back nguiust tho trunk of nu oak and his hands behind his back, Bonaparte never budged. A few pieces of bark fell over his clothes. Tho bull lodged in the trunk u few inches over his left shoulder. Giudoppe.uluioht weeping with rage, threw his gnu into the bushes. "Let that man go!"said Bonaparte. Before disappearing tho Corsieun shouted : "You nmy reign, but I will never be your Mlbject !" That sumo night the French lleet h it Ajaccio. Ou October 9 it readied Frejusund one mouth after Bonaparte celebrated hi eighteenth Bruiuuire. Giuseppe Valtlirio kept his word.

Breeding the IbiU'alo. Charlie Allard of lluvilli, Montana, possesses the proud distinction of be ing one of the owners of the largest herd of biilValo in existence, and is one of the few frontiersmen who dur ing tho early '70's had foresight enough to perceive that at some day this noble animal would become ex tinct, and had the courage to uttclnpt to stem the tide of the si iiighter. Iu a recent conversation with some friends Mr. Allard odd of how he had engaged in the novel business of buf falo farming, and his story is given iu tho Washington News: "It was about 170 that 1 conceived the idea of keeping n herd of bull'alo," he said, "for at the rate they were be ing killed then 1 Knew (hit someday they would Income se ireo and valua ble. I captured four or five calves and kept them witli our herd, but dur ing the hard winter hay became scarce and I was compelled to turn them Iooho. Then I was never able to start out for myself, because every time I wanted to quit the hos raised my salary, nnd thus persuu 1 ;d mo to keep on cow-puncliiug. When I finally givo it up ho was paying mo 8203 a month. Then I c.iin j to Flathead vul 1 -v. I bought from th Indians a few hen I of btilTalo which th -y had there in semi-captivity on the reservation. I paid thorn from 8-00 to .?l!00 apiece for tho animals, and then I started into the business of raising buffalo. Tho herd thrived in all Heas.ms. They had a range of from thirty to forty miles north and south and were shut iu ou both stiles by wooded hills, which mule as goo 1 a feiic i as a man could build, for buil'ilo do not venture milling trees. "The coldest storms of winter do not trouble them, for their thick, shaggy coats ure wind-proof. During tho heavy mows and blizzards they climti tho hills, nnd, turning their breasts to the winds, defy tho storm. good buffalo hide is worth 8100 now in the market and head i bring from 8-00 to $500 when mo mted, and the value of these is steadily increasing, bo thut bull'alo breeding is as good nu iuvcbtmcut as re il estate. Our herd is tho only one I know about of any size. There is a sin ill one iu tho Texas Panhandle, n:id these, with tho few that roain in tho National Park, nru the solo rem aunts of the thousands which mamed tho prairies, but u few years ago.

Bicycling In Europe, A very interesting story is tho fol lowing account in tho Rochester Union related by M. T. Bly, an at torney of that city, who said of his trip to Europe: "Tho perfect ronds of Europo make wheeling most delightful. Between the European roads and tho benteu piitha w jich go by that name iu Amer ica t hern is no comparison. Frunco has tho best roads of all Europe, tho uational highway from Lyons to Paris being tho finest. Wo wero especially impressed with tho wonderful dry ness of this roud, even lifter a heavy shower. The roads, too, aro singu larly free from thorns and glass, and I didn't have a single puncture during my entire trip. Mr. Welcher's tiro was punctured twice. "A singular nnd rather unpleasant feature of touring ou tho continent is tho frequent paymeut of tolls and taxes ou bicycles. Upon entering France wo were compelled to deposit 84 francs, about 811, a receipt being given iu return. On leaving tho couu try this amount was refunded. Per manent residents of Franco pny 12 francs for tho privilege of owning it bicycle. Throughout our two months' journey we carried no baggago except a suiall telescope bag strapped on tho front of our handle burs. My udvico to uny intending tourists is to curry with them nsliitlu luggage ns possible. The best plan is to have a largo oaso made in which the bicycle can bo car ried on ship board, thus protecting it from injury. This caio can bo shipped to the plaeo of ombarkutiou on tho continent." With regard to tho expense of such a trip Mr. Bly said that it wus not great, tho cost while touring never exceeding two dollars a day. The ac tual expense of a cycling tour is about half thut of traveling by rail uud is ten tunes more enjoyable. To all iu search of a most delightful uud health giving holiday Mr. Bly recommends a cycling trip through Europe. New York liecorder. Skill-dressing by Women. Iu her tanning and skin-dressing work tho savage woman's problem wus to remove the dermis from tho hide, and leave tho hair adhering to tho epi dermis, with only a thin portion of the true skin. li tho work wero cred itably done, tho surface of the robe, frequently more than thirty square feet iu extent, had to bo uniform in thickness throughout, and she should not cut through' the epidermis once. The whole must Is; us pliable, too, us it w. mien blanket : tho problem was to reduce a hid ) of varying thicknesses and twice too thic!i everywhere ton robe of uniform thickness throughout without once cuttiugthromOi tho outer part of tho skin. Her tools for this varied with tho locality. Tho Eskimo women scrape off the fat with a special tool made of walrus ivory or bono and plane down the dermis with a stone scraper. Tho Indian women cut off bits of meat and fat and remove tho dermis with u hoe or adze. Iu the good old days of savagery tho Eskimo woman made her fat scraper of walrus ivory or antler; her skin semper was of ilinty stone set iu n handle of ivory, wood or horn, whichever material was easiest to procure. But later on, it m iv be, the whalers helped her with steel tools. Tho Indian woman had three tools to wit: the stone knife for cutting away the ll shjihe hoe- shaped scraper for splitting the skin; and tho grainer, a hoe or chisel-lik0 tool with serrated edge to roughen up th.! inner side of tho robo and givo it flexibility. Besides these, both Eski mo and Indian hud hands and feet uud teeth for pulling and pounding nnd breaking the grain. They hud nlso a wonderful supply of pride iu their work, and lovo of applause, which kept them up to tho mark of doing the best that could be done with their resources. "--Popular S.jicnoe Monthly.

Tho explanation of this interesting trick forms one of the principles in magnetism. It is known that iron ut its usual temperature is attracted by it magnet, but us soon as it is heuted to GOO degrees the attraction ceases. Therefore says the London Million, the cold part of the wheel is attructi d by the magnet, while the heated uco is repelled in tho direction indicutod by the arrows. Till: 1III11) S nib CAN.i.

Mysterious Secretion of the Hog . Difying Analysis. Factories That Kuap Busy Making Artificial Digestions. Every ono is familiar with tho meth ods of repairing liuiu mity witli arti ficial legs, glass eyes, false teeth and wigs, but it may not bo generally known that a factory at the stock yards iu Chicago is busy all the year itrouud iu mukiug urtilieiiil digestions. For it is the purpose of pepsin to re lieve the mini who so stoiiuch his re belled nt harmful methods of eating. After each meal ho simply tikes u little tablet of the digestion, which he jirriesin a convenient vest p.ie'iet, s.v.illows it uu I forthwith fjrgets iu theory ut least all hi) troubl h. Any .mo will admit that this is a eh inning irr iiig uu ;tit. In health manufactured pipsiu is not necessary be '.i iso tlu stotn ich furnishes its own b.ipply. There are millions of little cells that have no other duty than to furnish th ; form uit, nnd when the foo 1 c ini ;s d r.vn which they have been s ivin ; in, un I by its leeuli ir properties tlu marvelous pro cess of digestion goe:i forward. But if it man overworks his stomach by eating too much or too often or by going to work to.) soon after ealliig, the cells grow tired and filially fall sick uud cannot perform t!ut:u!t set for them. To remedy thin diilicti'.ty some inventive g 'tiiu.-i conceived the idea ubout ten years ii'o of taking the pepsin from the stumieln of hogs mi l concentrating it into a convenient form for use. Since th.it time th) proojs which was then coiilined to the chemi cal hilurn'ory uud was conducted on in exceedingly narrow basis, lias as sumed the proportions of au industry, Hid tho'U inds of pel'-ous ure using the product. There uro varieties of chewing-gum which uro said to con tain pjpsin in small quantities. The laboratory in which it is m ule is Incited close to where 1,501,00 ) hogi uro killed nunii illy, mi l within au hour from tlu time tho animal breathes its la:it the part of his stom ach (about tho size of u man's h ind; iu which the pepsin can bo found is iu the hands of 1'rofosior M inn's m -u. The pieces are placed at once iu rows of crocks containing dilute hydrochlo ric ueid, a .0 12 per cent solution, where they are left ail day long. They tre then t i!;.'n out au I tlu in m put them through n sjeret cheniic.il proc ess to remove the peptone, or the product of the digestive action of the pepsin on tho membranous parts of tho stomach, with which it comes. It then goes to a vacuum pun, where, by a steady, low heat, tho moisture is partially removed, utter which it is cqirciid on glass plates, where it dries down to thin, white yellow scales, having a peculiar, brilliant bistre. ( (iris pack the product iu bottles and it is rends for shipment. The market price is about 75 cents all omioe.und it takes ordinarily about 100 hogs' stout ichs to make ii pound of pepsin. Numerous tonic., com posed of wine un I pepsin nro also ma le nt tho factory. No one knows just what pepsin is. It hns never been is.il it.l from the cells of the stomach, and no chemist hns ever been able to uiialy.o it. It is to the stomach what magnetism is to tho magnet. Tho United States phariu'ieopicia for IS.)) de.'iues it in follows : "Pejisinuin ( l'eisin) : A proteolytic ferment or enzyme obtained from the glandular layer of fresh . stomachs from benlty pigs, uud capable of digesting not less than II, 000 times its own weight of fresh coagulate 1 and disin tegrated egg ulliiiineii. A line white, or yelliwisli, transparent or trans lucent grains or scale-, free from any offensive odor, and having a mildly ncidulous or slightly siilino taste, usu ally fo'lowed by a stigges'ion of I tit ter tie -. It slowly attracts moisture when exposed to the air." The whole process of making pep sin, many steps of which uro secret, consists in tho isolation of the fer ment to as great a degree as possible, there being no way of getting it en tirely separate from tho cell walls i.f th stout ich. From the stomachs of calves comes tho cxtr.iet of rennet which is ulo made ut the laboratory ami largely used in eheese-miiking. Tho process of manufacture is simple. The stom achs ure chopped up iu a s: usage m i chine into line bits uml mac -rated in a solution of suit and water. It is then ready for packing and shipment.
