- LATCHKEY EXPERIENCE.
AlvMtsrs That U.f.ll Har ihm rirsf
Tina hm Made U.e of It.
It was her first experience with a
latchkey, and it wouldn't open.the door,
try as sho would, says tlio Chicago
Times-Herald. Presently a man pass
ing along the silent street hesitated,
looked at her for a moment, ascended
the steps. If ho had spoken to herhe
would have screamed; as he didn't
speak, alio screunicd auywny.
Two seconds later that obstinatedoor
was flung violently open and the entire
fumily, in varying stages of negligee
nttire, precipitated themselves upon
her and the front steps. Several mas
culine members of tho family seized the
Intruder, who was nctlvely engaged in
making peculiar and wordless gestures,
and dragged him into the glare of tbe
hall lamp.
"What did he do to you?" "What's
the matter?" "Call the police!" and
sundry kindred exclamations rent the
air of the hallway and were hurled at
the head of the offender, and It was
some time before the unintentional
cause of all the disturbance was able to
make his unoffending voice heard at all.
"I board next door to you," he man
aged to whisper hoarsely, at lost, "and
I saw the young lady couldn't open the
door, so I was going to offer assistance
when she screamed. And I've such a
beastly sore throat that I couldn't
apeak loud enough to make you hear
when you fell upon me."
Explanations were in order promptly
and forthwith, and the episode ended
peacefully, but it will be many a day
before the heroine of it ventures out
alone at night again, and the new board
er next door hasn't done a single thing
toward extending tbe acquaintance
begun so tnauspiciously.
A GREAT HUNTING CHEETAH.
ABloaal la the Property of Ralah Basa-
asaatavara. of laetlo.
In India the wild beast of the jungle
are trained a strangely incongruous
circumstance to hunt In behalf of man
the tamer game of the forest, says the
Philadelphia Times,
Tbecheetah is the animal used for this
purpose. He is a strange beast, a lithe,
graceful, leopard-like creature belong'
ing to tlio cat family, but having when
tamed all the characteristics of a dog.
lie hunts with tbe precision of the best!
of deer hounds, principally tracking the'!
deer, though he is as able in running
down other animals.
He is nffeetionnte and obedient as s
dog, following his master about with " Partr of hunters a f ew days ago dls
great fidelity, and obeying bis slightest j covered a cabin nestling among tbe
command. When taken out for a hunt! "w1" on a hillside. The spot was ten
he is usually blindfolded by a hood un
til tbe quarry is sighted, when the hood
is removed and he starts on his merci
less errand. He never relents, often
trailing a deer for miles before finally
securing him. Usually, however, be ap
proaches so noiselessly that he pounces
upon his prey without the slightest
warning and brings him to the earth in
short order.
The cheetah of Rajah Bommadevara,
Venkata Xarasuntre Naidu Bahadur, is
the most renowned hunter in India, and
is so highly prized by hie master that
it is said he could not be bought for half
sucn a principality as that over which
his master rules.
DRYING DAMP WHEAT.
New Proeeas for Extraetlne; MotMnre
from Grain Under a Vacuum,
A new process for artificially extract
ing moisture from wheat was put to a
careful test in Berlin recently, says the
i-onuon times. I he trial was carried
out at the instance of Mr. Yerbureh.
M. P., who sent over SO quarters of Eng-
nsn wneat to be submitted to the pro'
ess. Tho result was entirely satisfac
tory, over six per cent, of moisture be
ing tdken from tho wheat, which was a
very dry sample in excellent condition
while the heat to which it was sub
jected could not possibly affect it in
juriously. The principle of the process viz..
thnt of drying under a vacuum has
been rpphed to many articles of com.
.uerce, nnd the result of this trial is to
show thnt It is equally well adapted
to wheat. It is hardly necessary to
point out that the subject is one of
greut interest to British farmers, who
would be greatly benefited by the pro
vision of facilities for getting their
wheat into condition,, particularly in
a wet Benson. The full details of the
trial will be laid before the agricul
tural committee on corn stores.

A CLEVER INDIAN MAIDEN.
She Takaa Natarally to Vyte-Dslt
War.
If Ibe Indian braves do not take
kindly to civilization, it doe not follow
tbat the Indian women, don't. Lucy
Nicoiar Is the. daughter of tbe late Jo
seph Nicola r, of the Penobscot tribe,
which has its reeervtfon' on an, island,
knowa as Indian island, in the Penob
scot river in Maine. Lucy is Just com
ing into her teens, and is a bright miss
of marked beauty, and wherever she
goes with baskets or Indian exhibits
many a young American who looks
upon the Indian maiden, feels Uaat the
land of tbe Penobscot must be "the
land of handsome women." Just now
Lucy is receiving private instruction
tbat she may enter high school. Her in
structor says tbat she, is bright in her
studies and that mat hematics is her
forte. Lucy is perhaps the most- pro
ficient piano player on the island, being
tbe owner of an instrument. She also
sings pleasingly. But the skill of tbe
tribe is not forgotten by this young
member, for she can make baskets, etc.,
as well aa some of the older ones. Lucy
is also an accomplished bicycle rider,
and has bought a wheel out of bersav
ings.' Tbe mother of Lucy. Mrs. Martha
Nicolar, is one of the finest-looking
members of tbe tribe, a woman respect
ed by all who know her. She Is presi
dent of tbe Wa-ba-na-ki, the only Indi
an woman club in thecountry.
,N HER MOUNTAIN HOME ALONE.
A Woman Who Lead, tbe Life of a
Hermit la tha Allearbanle..
On a barren ridge of the Allegbanies,
northern part of Clinton, county,
miles from a human habitation, and
the curiosity of the hunters was
aroused as to wtio tbe occunanit could
be. Going up to the 'hut, one of the
party hammered at the door. It was
speedily opened by a woman of about
50 yebrs, ntho demanded their business.
The boldest member of the party asKeo
for a drink of water. In reply the wom
an pointed to a spring which bubbled
up among the rocks, and tnen closed
nnd barred the door.
The hunlers carried their story to a
farmhouse la the valley, where they
learned that tihe woman leads the life
of a hermit, having no companionship
but tbat of a great St. Bernard dog,
which ahe has trained to carry mes-
sasee and bring' provisions from the
valley. Nothing is known of her his
tory before her arrival on the mom'
tnin. The country folk say that she
made her first appearance ten years
ajjo. During theisummer she construct
ed the. but unaided, and none but a
few diildren have been allowed to en
ter it. The youthful scouts report that
the tint is carpeted with the skins of
beiir and deer, which she evidently shot
with her own hand. A repeating rifle
nnd smaller arms hang on t'he walls.
No oue ,has any solution to offer to
the Question as to what drove this worn'
nn to live in the wilds nSone. She
shrinks from contact with grown peo
ple, though the children, who call her
Auof Mngigie, are always welcome sum
mer visitors to her cabin.
WALRUS LEATHER.
uped for Maklnar Wheels for Polish
InsrOther Pollnhlaai Leathers.
Walrus leather Is used for making
buffer wheels, for polishing brass, steel
nnd silver. It has a peculiar, coarse
grain that holds the emery or polishing
powder well. It takes about five yeans
to tan a walrus hide. Some walrus
leather Is made in this country, but the
bulk of it Is imported from England.
Leather made from the hide of a cub
walrus would be about half an inch
thick. The hide of an old bull might be
two inches thtck. The value of the
leather depends upon its' thickness.
Half-inch would sell for about SO cents
a pound; one-and-A-hnlf-tneh would be
worth $1.40 a pound; and walrus leath
er, from one-and-flvc-eighlihs to one-
nnd three-quarters-Inch thick, smooth
nnd well trimmed, would be worth two
dollnrs u pound, nnd a side of such leath
er would cost about $300.
Wnlrus wheels are made In a va-
riety of shapes, depending upon the
work on wihlch they are used. They are
made with a flat face, grooved, cone
shaped, or of any shape thnt. may be
desired, nnd by cementing layers of
leather together, wheels of any desired
thickness are made. Wnlrus leather is
also used for valve packings.
Bull necks are used, atao, for polish
ing purposes. Three-quaster-tnch bull
necks sell at about SO cents a pound.
Leather made from the hide of the
sea lion Is used for polishing purposes.
This is a smoother and softer leather,
used for softer matals. Hea lion leather
of an average thlcknew) costs about SO
cents a pound. Built-up wheels of any
thickness are also made of sea Hon and
of bull neck leather.
THE BIBLE IN CHINA. . i
Head by Statesmen and Slodenls Bto
es.M It la Classic.
The American- Bible society has re
ceived from Its correspondent In Shang- ,
hai en account of the recent examina- -Hon
for the master of degrees among
students. In alt former years thequen
tions asked of the candidates have been'
on literary lines, and have been limited
to the literature of China. The profi
ciency of the candidates is said to have
been shown by their familiarity wltb
tbe classics and the books of Chinese
authors since the days of Confucius.
This year the imperial edict directed
tbat the questions to be asked and an
swered should relate to matters of imv'
portance at the present time. The fol
lowing surprising question was read by
10,000 pupils in one of the examination,
halls:
What do you know of the repeopllng
of the earth by Noah and his family,
after the flood?"
The Peking examination board,
which framed this question, has beem
reading the Old Testament, which is
now recommended aa a text-book, and
for which there Is an increased demand.-
The statesmen of China, her scholars
and her students, are said to be study
ing tbe Bible because it is the classic of
Christian countries. They have to be- -come
acquainted with western religion.
western science, western political econ
omy, western philosophy, and they read
the Bible among the other books cur
rent in western countries.
, A KNOWING DOG. '
Re Had at Olaae Eye and Hover
Kabbed It Oat. .
Marroeduke is dead. He was only
Blenheim spaniel, but he was wonder
ful in his way, for he had a glass eye.
He was bred by the duchess of Marl
borough, who takes a great interest
in tbe famous kennel. As will. occa
sionally happen to small dogs, he tried
to show his superiority over the feline
race; but on one occasion a pugnacious
cat declined to take orders from Mar-
maduke, and enforced its refusal by
giving Marmaduke "one in the eye"
with its claws. The' resuM was that
Marmaduke's eye was destroyed. The
duchess then sent the spaniel to a
veterinary surgeon, to be fitted to a
glass eye, as sbe was especially fond
of the little fellow, and the sight of the
empty socket was repugnant. After he
was sent back with his new eye, her
rrroce was made nervous by seeing hia
staring artificial eye, it being just a
little previous to a visit of the earl ot
Blandford, and so a home was sought
.'or the unfortunate little blue blood,
which was found with Miss E. L. Moore,
of Denmark Hill, near Woodstock. The
glass eye is the right one, and is ex
actly matched to the other brown, an
imated one. Marmaduke never tried
to scratch or rub out the eye, but
seemed to understand why it was there.
He was run over by a van.- '
CONNECTICUT 1 OMBSTONEi
Peculiar Design of a Danclne; Mas-.
ter'a Monument. . - .
One of the best-known dancing mas
ters in eastern Connecticut a few years,
ago was Gurdon Cndy. He was one ot
the best fiddlers and prompters in the
state. No festive occasion where dauc
. ing- was a feature could h? carried out
In fashion without Mr. "': to superin
tend the figures. He Hxid in Central
village, in Flainfield, all his life;
and accumulated considerable proper
ty, says the New York Times.
Before Gurdon Cady died he had a
monument built under his own tmme
Vate instructions. , This stands over
his burial place in the pretty village
cemetery in Central. He gave the
sculptor the directions for marking the
stone, and sat and played his favorite
airs in the graveyard while the ok .
were at work. Day after day, as tA
lettering and figures were being chis
eled Into the granite; Cady would ap
pear, nnd, after chatting with the men
take out his violin, tune up, and then
play "Arkansas Traveler," "Money
Musk,".uMcCl-r Reel," or "The Dev
il's Dream," as his fancy prompted'.
The stone, when completed, was of
unique design. On one side is pictured
a cow, above and beneath which ore
the words; "My. First Jersey Cow.
Keeord 2 Lbs. and of Butter from
13 Quarts of Milk." On- the reverse aide
of the stone Mr. Cady's favorite violin
is delineated on- the granite. Over the--picture
are the words; "All ready, Mr.
Cndyl" The violin is then represented,
with the words: "At Best" beneath.
; The other sides of the stone pillar
bear the family obituaries, in the usual
form.
. Proof of Their Earnestness. -
A Georgia pastor who resigned be
cause he couldn't collect his salary,
said in his farewell sermon: "I have
little else to add, dear brethren, save
this: You were all in favor of free sal
vation, and the manner in which yeu
have treated me is proof that you got
it!"
