A Spell of Worry and Anxiety That
Went For Naught.
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.

It is only about tt Cetttiit'y since the

who keep up the tradition by sentenc-
ing petty thieves to jail while inflict-

In one police court one defendant

and another was sentenced to sixty
days' imprisonment for damaging

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. But the Indians Would not per.
mit me to shoot any game. One of the
traditions of the tribe, Ieit by some old
medicine man long eines dead, was
that if a woman were ever permitted
to shoot moote or elk game would be-
come scarce and the squaws would be-
come powerful and master the teen. 1

Quilt From Extra Cuffs,
Women whose husbands do not wear
the extra coifs which come with al-
most every shirt can make good use of
them by cutting oft at buttonhole edge
and also at length, then pulling them
apart, and you will have two colored or
figured pieces and one plain white
piece (sometimes two) from the inside
of the cuff. By sewing these pieces to-
gether
ogether and using a Iittle judgment you
will have a pretty and durable quilt,
as almost all shirts wash well. It
does not take long to save enough, as
you have six and sometimes eight
pieces from a pair of cuffs.

'"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

important these were.

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 -
