In New York, suspected of murdering, through Jeol-ousy. an American girl, by name Lily White, trho has friends among the newspaper num. No evidence being presented, Wah-Wo Is discharged. Lily White has kept apart from the other residents of the quarter, going about with a great black dog. her constant companion, in whose eat he whispered when she wished him to follow her.

When asked by her newspapet friends what she said to the dog she would reply: "HIS NAME." Lynde, Fenlow, Caithness and McManus are discussing the nurder one evening In McManus' saloon, which adjoins the dead girl's home, pen-tow speaks of the girl In a slighting way Caithness calls him a liar, to the sur prise of all. rARV'11. "Are you crazy?" I said to Cnithnes. "1 think I am," said Caithness, slowly. "1 bfg your pardon, Penlow." Lynde turned his puzzled eyes from t'enlow to Caithness and lifted his mug njechhniea'ly.

Ptnlow straightened in chair but said nothing-, and I leaned back, motioning McManus to remove the covers. After a few moments the constraint Dccame irksome.

None of us had ever Ix-fore seen cross-eyed cat, so wv did rot deny it, although I remonstrated it McMamu conecrainjr his pride in "Iicd's" oculat misfortune. "What's that?" demnuded McManus, "I don't Kte why," said cat Fhouli le the more valuable because il be afflicted with strabismus." "Sure! ail McManus. dog-g-edly.

"No, I don't," I "It's a mascot, snid McManus. "How do you know?" "Did youse g-ents ever see anoth-1 cross-eed cat?" demanded McManus, hotly. We all said no. "Then wha' do pents know about mascots?" he exclaimed, triumphantly. "Nothing-," I confessed; "what's yours, Mac?" The constraint still weiphed upon us, however, for Caithness had neither Fpoken nor smiled, and IVnlow, it was rasy to fee, not forpotton.

Lynde picked up a paper nnd ran il throuph unaffectedly, searching for his wn matter, und after awhile IVnlow did the fame.

"You look like the last rose of summer you've pot a Ix-ustly cough." He smiled faintly. "It's consumption. hesaid; "I found out to-lay." I stared at him stupidly.

"I don't mind," he said, quietly; "I'm dead sick of the whole business." "How do you know it's consumption?" I nuked, at lenpth. "I went to three doctors to make ure I tf 11 you I don't mind it, Jim." Little Penlow was listening' now, and before I could speaa? afrain he leaned over and took Caithness' hand aeo tionntely. i "JJrnce up. Jack, old iHiy," he said; "po to California and pet well." "Of course," I cried, "you're a fool to tay in this cursed climate. Jack!" I spoke harshly, for I wa more affected than I cared to show.

Louis Republic. How fie Got His "Jack the Giant Killer." There is a little anecdote of Ixinpfellow which illustrates his love for children and how ho won their alToctions. It seems that one littlo fellow In particular was fond of spending his time in the great poet's library. One day, after a long and patient perusal of the titles (to him great and cumbersome works) that lined the shelves, tho littlo chap walked np to Longfellow and asked in a grieved sort of way. "Haven't you got a 'Jack the Giant Killer?" Lonfrfellow regretted to say that in all his immense library he did not have a copy.

The little chap looked at him in a pity Ing way and silently left tho room. The next morning he walked in with 1 couple of pennies tiehtly clasped in his chubby fist, and, laying them down, told the poet he could now buy a "Jack tho Giant Killer" of his own. Queer.

Tha Brontorata, Probably the Largest ai4 Most Formidable Fewl Tha3 Fver Lived. Recent geological explorations in south-era Patagonia by Beaors Carlos and AtnagniDO Save revealed the existence of large deposit of fossil birds and herb eating mammals. Those are found in gravelly beds, which belong to the eocene age of the earth's history, the period of gigsn-tlo reptiles and flying dragons. More than IS species of extinct bird have been discovered in these gravels, and among them the largest bird yet known, according to Cassell's Magazine. Hitherto the dinor-nis, an extinct bird of Madagascar, has been regarded as the largest bird that ever lived, but the Brontornis hurmeUteri was THE BllOKTOKKIS.

not only taller, but thicker. This "ungainly fowl" must have been a good deal mure formidable in appearance than the celebrated "ravon" of Kdjrar Allan Poo. i It stood over 18 feet in height and was of massive build. Its beak was armed with two teeth near tho hook, and its bcalv fee; with powerful claws. Its winsrs, however, were too email to allow It to fly.

The dinornis and his congeners lived on vettet ables, but the brontornis probably I fed on inollu-Ls und such nf the i dlnosauriiin lizard, which were so rife at tLe close of ihe chalk (teriod. Tho jiieturu shows a brontornis attacking a hadru- saurus on the edtre of a inarch, and tho bin! in the distance Is a Puororhuco lonUrfimu. another extinct bird of I'ata- ponia, which nwninblnd the ajihannpterlx, an extinct bird of tho Mauritius, hut was about one-third larger. There is nothing singular In the brontornis preying on rep- tiles. The bala-niceps of the present epoch have destroyed numberloss young crocodiles on the White Nile, and the serjientaria of Siuth Africa Is a deadly tie to FUakcs.

The Firat Itlfled Cannon. Pylvanus Sawyer, who died recently i Ma-schuctts. was an old time New i land inventor, and, according to an ex- to him belongs the fume of having oonoeived the Idea of the) cannon, About ISM he had a cannon oast after this nnttern, ri3ad, and having caliber about 31, inches in diameter and 5 feet long. Ha then had explosive shells of an original and peculiar pattern they being grooved to fit the riding of that cauoon guve It that rotary roution now so universally ued. The shell wait hollow and in shape not unlike an aoorn, and on its tip was an opening through which powder could be poured.

A fulminating cap was tho flonl arrangement, so adjusted that when it struck any object the contents of the shell would be ignited and an explosion taUn place. When tho test of tys cannon wag made, i in 1SJ1, hit shell went straight to the mark I and exploded with duo precision, learing the target into flinders. Thus successful was tho first riQod cannon ball ever llred in this or any other country. A Caa of Orarlty. A pretty bit of scientific recreation which comes In hundllr after dinner is sometime dignified with tha classical title of "The! Hovenge of tho Danaides In allusion to tho duughters of Danaua, who, as punishment for their crimes, were condemned to forever draw water with leaky vessels.

Fill completely two glasses of exactly the snme size and shape, one with water, the other with wine. Stretch over the mouth of the glass containing the water a circular covering of tulle, somewhat larger than the (class and previously moistened. Now smooth the lapping over tulle ag closely to the glass as possible, and applying the palm of the right hand squarely to the mouth of the glass seiie the stem with the left and turn It quickly upsido down, avoiding the entranco of the air. Next, slide the right hand softly away front underneath, and, much to your as-toulhhinent, the tulle will remain adherent A FIIKTTT EXPERIMENT. to the glass, while not a drop of water will fall out through that exceedingly leakj tissue.

You will very soon succeed in this experiment. Hereon follows the second part: Plao your full, but not dripping, plana of water, thus turned upsido down, but not insida out, over the full glass of wine, and you will soon see little jots of ruby liquid pen etrating the tulle in every direction. It is the wine, progressively mounting the su perior glass, whloh in the same proportion yields water to the lower glass in the opposite direction. At tho end of about a quarter of an hout the exchange will be complete, and you will see the lower glass filled with pure transparent water, while tho upper one will be chock full of good red wine.
