Ferguson was wending his uncertain way homeward, sorely troubled in his mind over the curtain lecture he knew was in store for him and casting about fo>; some means of evading it. Sudden- ly a bright idea was evolved from his befuddled brain. rte would slip into the house and get quietly into bed without awakening his wife. Accordingly he stole gently upstairs, carefully undressed outside the door and crept into bed, with his face to- ward the outside. He mentally congratulated hiinself upon his success thus far and went to sleep. When he awoke in the morning he dared not look at his wife, and after lying still for a few minutes and not hearing any noise from her he con- cluded she was still asleep. He then determined to arise very quietly, carry his clothes outside the door, dress there and go downtown to business without waiting for break- fast. He was successful in this, and, meeting the servant girt downstairs, he said: "Eliza, you can tell your mistress I expect to be very busy today and therefore I didn't stay to have break- fast with her this morning." "Laws, sir!" said Eliza. "Missis went away yesterday morning to her moth- er's and said she wouldn't be back till this evening." -London Telegraph. ENGLISH JUSTICE. • Hard on Petty Thieves and Light on • Wife Fleatera, It is only about tt Cetttiit'y since the death pelialty was inflicted in England for theft not exceeding the value of a sheep. Now some of the London Jour- nals are making a merciless exposure of magistrates throughout the kingdom who keep up the tradition by sentenc- ing petty thieves to jail while inflict- lug, nflictlug Only trifling fines upon wife beat- ers and even more brutal offender's. In one police court one defendant was fined 10s. Od. for knocking his wife down in the street because she refused to give him money for drink, and another was sentenced to sixty days' imprisonment for damaging growing potatoes and stealing two footballs. 1'or cruelty to a horse, beating his wife, who was til, with fist and ham - bier had leaving her with nothing to eat one man was fined 10 shillings, While another, charged With stealing a pair of socks veined at sixiienee, got fourteen days' hard labor.

TUE{ wuccoux TIMES, APRII. 2, 1908 LIFE IN THE DESERT. How Animals stud 'Vegetation Fight Against. Extinction, Alutost ell life on the desert gobs armed In the vegetation world of the desert the cactus comes first with its numberless species.' They are all arm- ed with long or short, tough spines that can penetrate the thickest boot. The solitary and often grotesque Joshua or 'Yucca, the mesquite, the cat's claw and numberless shrubs whose names have not been written, all are armed In one way or another. Some exude poleaxe - ens sap, others nauseating odors. The sagebrush is about the only one that does not seem' to have any protection. In the animal kingdom most are either armed with sharp teeth, spines, odors or poison to serve to keep their enemies at a distance, while the others depend upon their fleetness or artful skulking and hiding. The spices and repulsive Gila mon- ster, the horned toad, the sidewinder, with his two horns and deadly fangs, and its cousin, the desert rattlesnake; the tarantula, scorpiou and desert bee, each of whose sting Is exceedingly painful and sometimes fatal, are among the desert's denizens. Then there are many varieties of lizards, large and small and of many colors, which protect themselves by their speed alone. The prowling coyote, bobeat, mountain lion, jack rabbit, cottontail, mountain sheep, ibex, antelope and an Occasional deer are there. Among the smaller animals are the gopher, kangaroo rat, trade rat, hydro- phobia skunk, ground squirrel and in- numerable mice. But the traveler sel- dom, sees any of these. The prospector, however, soon becomes acquainted with them, The first or, at the latest, second night of his stay in any one camp •he will be visited by a trade rat, which will carry away all that portion of his outfit that is not too heavy for his ratsbip to handle and religiously leave some stick or stone in its place. A hydrophobia skunk will be apt to call and lunch from any bacon rinds that may be lying about, not disdalu- ing a nip at Mr. Prospector's nose 1f the opportunity offers. It is said and firmly believed by the sons of the des- ert that the bite of this little skunk produces hydrophobia. The Gila mon- ster is seldom seen,, and the writer after having spent nearly a year on the borders or Death valley has yet to see one at large. Rattlesnakes are glee scarce except in some favorable locality. All life on the desert lives by its pow- er to resist thirst. All desert plants are so constructed that they are able to conserve and store up moisture against the time of drought. This ne- cessity has wrought peculiar forms of both animals and plants, and in time it also leaves its indelible mark upon men who dwell amid its 'wastes. The leaves of all desert trees are small and thick, so that they expose as little sur- face as possible for evaporation iu the dry air. The great and ever present evidence of the struggle for water is noticeable everywhere where men come together on the desert. In this struggle all who come to the desert must engage instantly. Every wagon must have its water barrels, every burro his water bags, each man his canteen. A Flippant Critic. After the performance of Wagner's "Rheingold" at Berne, Switzerland, the Berner Fremdenlrlatt contained an ac- count of the performance which caused much cotumeut. One German paper in reproducing excerpts from the remark- able criticism says, "In reading it we could not quite determine whether the writer was a rogue or one of the Mark Twain school who would enter the most sacred realms of_ culture with savage freedom." "The opera," says the critic, "furnished mach amuse- ment, especially, the evolutions of the merry, Rhein daughters. Their tricks were charming, and if the orchestra had played more appropriate music the effect would have been perfect. From what we had heard we expected better music. Certain parts -the most tuneful onus -were reminiscent of Men- delssohn, and this originality seemed uatural to us, because we knew tba. when Wagner was the child prodigy ie Leipsie Felix Mendelssohn directed the Gewandhaus concerts in that city. All In all the opera is rather stale, but with the fine scenery and real steam clouds it was bearable. It Is probably necessary that one should see this 'Rlieingold' as well ad 'The Merry Wid- ow,' so go and see it." British America Indians. A French titled lady made a trip that took her 1,600 miles beyond civili- zation in the far northern districts of British America. She went forth ac- companied by only two Indian geldes and penetrated to the sixtieth parallel, riding astride, 'ramping, paddling In light canoes, floating down treacher- ous, rock picketed rapids in clumsy native barges and for One period of two weeks seeing no human being ex- cept her two Indian servants. "The Indians in that region are very super- tititious, very ungrateful, very tude- pendent, but very honest. 1 invited a chief to have luncheon with nre. Ile refused. TO eat in company with a woman would degrade him. He would lose caste with his tribe, In another part of the eonntry I had some In- dians and their squaws on an expedt- tien.

"You have lain awake at night," said a physician, "and .have heard kt mouse gnawing at the woodwork somewhere down in a kitchen cup. boa" 'Ttierd?listener nodded. '"How loud ellcl it sound to you -a# loud as a burglar splintering the door Jambs with a jimmy?" ,&retther nod. "You have been awakened at 1:3Q a. le. by the crying of a teethlug in- fant next door?" A shudder. "And it sounded like the hoarse mur- ulur's of mingled ululations of a fren- zled snob assembled outside to demand sozuebody's blood?" Partial collapse. "Along toward morning you have lis- tenet' to the thio, mall voice of a mos- quite circulating above your head?" An involuntary slap, "Did it sound like the screech of a planing mill turning out clapboards for a barn?" Two nods. "Would you have minded any of those sounds in the daytime?" A shake of the head. "Now, I have no doubt you Mule ,that the seeming loudness of these sounds was due to the contrasting ai- lenee of the night. But take another test. You have been In love?" Um -urn (without utterance). "And do you remember hove much softer and warmer and more thrilling was the touch of your best girl's hand as you strolled with her on the way home from singing school at the witch - big hour of half past 9 p. m. than it was when you called in the forenoon to ask if you might escort her to the aforesaid vocal exercises?" An unspoken yam yum. "Was it the night silence that added the finishing touch? "It was not," the physician replied to his own question, noting his listen- er's look of uncertainty. "Take another instance: You think you know how to . write -a little." A smile of gratification. "Well, you find yourself awake at night and thinking. A gem of an idea suddenly sparkles in the darkness. You surround it with epigrams, and while elaborating the setting you fall asleep. What does this jewel amount to in the morning?" A sigh. "There you are. You recall the idea and some of the epigrams and a little of the setting and all of it so commou- place that you wouldn't think' of try- ing to make anything presentable out of it. "The fact is," the physician went on, "the night magnifies. At night our. pleasures are more keen, our pains more distressing, our small successes are triumphs, our little failures are disasters, our faintly cberlshed hopes appear before us as things realized, our small worries as overwhelming ca 'amities. "You find yourself awake in the night, and your thoughts wander beck to some time in your youth when in the presence of those older and wiser you -as you now see it -were guilty of some slight breach in deportment or of some little offense to good taste in speech, and you dwell upon the con- demnation that must have fallen upon you. Iu the morning if what yon were dwelling upon so seriously occurs to your mind at all you smile and say to yourself that if your fault was noticed by anybody at the time it was too trivial for any oue but you to remem• ben. "The night magnifies!" the physician repeated. "Such things as I have men- tioned prove it. It is partly due to the silence, but more to ourselves. To ac- count for the latter would keep me talking. "But take it for granted that what- ever your cause for worry at night it will look smaller by daylight and re- fuse to dwell on it. If your anticipa- tions are pleasant, nurse them, and you will fall asleep. In the morning you will not be downcast because your magnified hopes of the night seem un- likely to be realized." Prize Money in 1162. To the English victors of Havana belonged the spoils, anel vett' rich and important these were. Besides the nine Spanish men-of-war found intact in the harbor, which Edded to the three sunk at the en- trance and to one or two others cap- tured outside in the course of the op- erations formed about ono -fifth of the naval power of Spain and seriously crippled her for the rest of the war, no less an amount than £3,000,000 was realized in prize money by the cap- ture of this wealthy city. Of this great sum we are told that Albemarle and Pocock as commanding respective- ly the land and sea forces received no less than 1122,007 each, while Commo- dore Keppel's share amounted to as much as £24,589, and doubtless his brother, Major General Keppel, receiv- ed an almost equal sum, Thue the 11eppel family benefited by this expe- dition to the tune of considerably over £15O,000, and it is recorded that Gen - Oral hliott with his share of the prize moiler' purchased the estate of Heath- field, in Sussex, from which he after- vwerd took his title.
