naw y i: os IT’S HUMAN NATURE. Bike Humbug So Much They Hate to Be Undeceived. “TI tell you,” declared the reformed gambler to a Detroit Free Press man, “that there are people in this country who insist upon being swindled. Nine ott of ten of the men who are caught know that they are going up against some.kind of a bunko game. They have read all about it, but it is the infernal egotism of the average man that leads him into the trap. He knows that others have been caught, but he’s teo smart for anything of that kind, don’t you see? I was at a county fair in Iowa exposing the tricks of gam- blers. My graft was in selling a little book that I had on the subject. There Was a pretty lively gang there from a back township, and when I showed them how the shell trick was done one big fellow insisted that he could locate the elusive pea and was bound to bet on his proposition. I told him that I was out of the business, but that he was mistaken. Then they set up a cry that I was a fraud and afraid of my own game. I went over the whole thing again and showed them how they were fooled, but I must give the fellow a chance or they would wreck my whole outfit. At last, just to save myself, I let him put up his money and tendered it back to him after I had won, Then it took three other men to keep him from whipping me because I took him for a squealer. One or two others in- sisted on having a try at it and never turned a hair because of their losses. When it came to three-card monte it was the same. Each of half a dozen men was sure that he could pick the eard, and, despite my warning, would have a try at it, and some of them two or three tries. When they were cleaned out there went up a howl that I was the rankest kind of a fraud, and they chased me three miles into the country before it was dark enough for me to escape.” GOBBLING OF AFRICA. Part Played by England—Her Share of the Spoils. Up to 1884 scarcely more than the edges of Africa had been occupied by the European powers, says the Atlan- tic. It was in that year that Germany suddenly began an attempt to realize her long-cherished aspirations for a colonial empire. She naturally made the attempt in Africa, as the only place where it was possible to make it, and in deing so she started all the nations in a wild race in fear lest their neigh- bors should get the advantage of them. In this scramble, if England has been left far behind by some of the others in the area of her gains, she certainly leads them all in their real value, and the prospect for the control of North America in 10. This is surely true if we consider Egypt an English pos- session, and we can hardly suppose that England will ever abandon that country, whatever depths of sentiment- al emotion may be stirred in varying moods; nor, considering the enormous benefits which result, would the world ever consent to such an abandonment, if it were not still much influenced by barbaric motives. It was a brilliant scheme which was attempted in 1894 to obtain from the Congo Free State a narrow strip of land connecting the waterway of Lake Tanganyika with the British sphere of influence to the north, and so to make an English highway from the mouth of the Nile to the Cape of Good Hope. Although it seemed the part of wisdom at the time to yield to the united objections of the other in- terested powers, it is by no means im- possible that the object sought may be accomplished in the end. What is the total result? A little more than 11,000,000 square miles under the rule of England, 3,500,000 under that of the United States—together, more than one-quarter of the total land area of the globe. Utilization of Fruit Stones. The seeds or stones of many fruits which would apparently seem useless have some economic value, and in this connection we are speaking chiefly of those which are often thrown away, passing over many that are applied to ornamental uses. In certain parts of Egypt the date stones are boiled to soften them, and the camels and cat- te are fed upon them. They are cal- cined by the Chinese, and are said to enter into the composition of their In- dian ink. In Spain they are burnt and powdered for dentifrice, and vegetable ivory nuts are said to be applied to the same purposes. Some species of At- talea nuts are burned in Brazil to blacken the raw caoutchouc or india- rubber. The seed or stone of the tam- arind is sometimes prescribed in India in cases of dysentery as a tonic, and in the form of an electuary. Materials for Gloves. The materials from which gloves have been n.anufactured are many and varied. Iron gauntlets of the middle ages, embroidered leather and jewel- set gloves of later times, gloves of hair, linen, velvet, satin and taffeta, gloves perfumed, washed, waxed and glazed, are to be found in the list. They have been made from horse hides, walrus hides, and ever from the skin of whales; from the fibers of nettles wo- _yen like flax into thread, and from asbestos fibers, so that, like the napkins described by Pliny, they were cleaned by merely being thrown into the fire. Gloves have been made, too, from the silky byssus, the fibers secreted by cer- tain mollusks by which they attach themselves to rocks, and a pair of gloves woven from this curious sub- atance was presented to Pope Benedict Xiv.—Exchange. ‘Wax matches are employed in Europe to an extent vastly greater than in this country.

A. J. TAYLOR, Register. STRANGE HOLE IN GROUND. Vorrents of 3 Water Have Gone Law fc in Years Past. One is reminded of the pretty fabie «bout Arethusa and Alpheus by a cuvi- cus story in the current uamber of Cassier’s Magazine. But in the ancient uarrative it was a fresh water river fa- to which the pursuing lover was changed, and the fountain which rey- resents the metamorphosed nymph has been identifed; while in che less ro- mantic tale now told a salt water elream disappears into a hole in the pround, and all the rest is a profund mystery, says the New York Tribune. Qn the coast of the Greek island of Cephalonia, near the town of Argos- toli, there are two little flues, or ca- nals, leading inland from the sea to the distance of about 100 feet, and then discharging their coutents into rudely excavated pits, through whose nadly fissured, rocky bottums the wat- ec immediately loses itself. At least es long ago as 1835 a mill was run by power from one of these flumes, and ® second mill was built beside and op- erated by the other a little while after- é The mills themselves are now iv ruins, but the flow continues, This vemarkable staie of things has existed for over sixty years, and very likely fer a century. One cannot help asking i) amazement where all that water goes to. The Messrs. Crosby, who fur- nish the accouut which Cassier’s prints, estimates that the flow in each channel mounts to 1,000 cubic teet per minute, or 3,000,000 cu feet per day in both ‘'wo smaller passages of a similar character have been observed in the Sawe neighboihood, and it is added that along the chore, “at all points be- tween the two mulls, and for an un- Kuown distance beyond each, the wat- ev is everywhere percolating through cracks and fissures of the lime- stone ane sinking into the earth, The openings in the sea bottom are no doubt mainly Josed by weeds and gravel, yet no in- considerable amount of water must find its way to these mysterious depths thvough such an extent of beach, lying vu a rock that is practically as porous is a Sieve, * * * It is difficult tu uccide which is the greater marvel. the sea mills themselves or the fact t they have remained practically unknown to the scientific world up to he present day, although described by al authors, mentioned in the guide vooks, and visited by «adinirals, gen- rals, bishops aud distinguished civii- sans.’ ”” Almost the only explanation hither- io offered assumes that evaporation pues OL rapidly in some subterranean caveru and thus disposes of the water. But as it is admitted that the remain- ing salt from the two mill streams alone would amount to 48,600 cubic iect a year it is lard to understand why the suiterranean cavern, if there ue one, does not fill up. The Messrs. Crusby vtler a diferent hypothesis ‘They ask the reader to imagine two great fissures descending into the earth and meeting beiow like the sides of a letter V or U. Then they suggest that perhaps one arm is shorter than ibe other and that there is a long,very gently rising passage leading from the bottom of one to the bottom of the oth- er, sv that the subterranean heat can get a good chance to uct on any stream passing through it. It then becomes easy to suppose that a cold current of bea Wadler cuimes down through one branch of the system and is forced up- ward through the other by thermal in- tiuences. The rocky island of Cepha- lonia, like some of its neighbors, be- trays the effect of earthquakes innum- erable in times past, abounding in frac- tures and faults, caverns and subter- ranean rivers. None of the spring on Cephalonia contains any large quanti- ty of salt, however, and it is difficult to regard any of them as the overflow of the flood which disappears at Argos- toli. But it is possible that, as Al- pheus is said to have done, it takes a dive beneath the sea and comes up on some far-off island. The Plucking of Fowls. The Australian method of plucking fowls possesses the advantages of be- ing rapid and easy. As soon as the birds are dead, plunge each in turn into a pail of boiling water, into which one and a half pint of cold water has been thrown (the object is just to scald them), taking care that the water reaches every part of the feathers. One minute’s sousing is generally sufficient; if kept in too long, the skin is apt to discolor, and, if not long enough, the feathers will not easily draw. Every feather can now be stripped off in the easiest possible manner—in fact, they can almost be brushed off. The skin never tears, and the insects that infest all chickens will have disappeared. When clear, pump on the birds to rinse off the wet feathers that still adhere, wipe tenderly with + soft cloth, and hang up to dry with a cloth fastened loosely round. This is to keep them from the air and preserve them white. By this means all the feather stumps are perfectly removed. Ducks cannot be treated in the same manner, as the oil in the feathers prevents the water from penetrating. Notice of Homestead Final Proof. United States Land Office at Dalese. Minn. lune 19, 1897.
