THIS MAN IS PRACTICAL.
Does Not Believe in Frivolity and
Makes Gifts That Perish Not
—Violets Were Artificial.
There are some very curious
men iu this world. This is by no
means an original idea; ii is called
forth at this minute b\ a curious
gift that a member <d' the sterner
sex gave to what in old times
would have been called Ids "Maine"
the other day, says the Baltimore
News.
The man is a man of ideas. Ib*
says he doesn’t hold with giving
candy and Mowers to girls. The
candy, lie explains, ruins the com
plexions of I lie you ug women a nd
tin* violets ruin his pocket book
(though lie doesn't say thisi, and
so, when he gives at all. lie gives
something solid and enduring.
Sometimes these gifts, which are
like angels’ visits, few and far be
tween, take the form of Carlyle's
“French Revolution," and some
times they take the form of bary
tone songs (lie has a barytone
voice), but they have never been
less frivolous until the other day,
when a box was brought to tin*
girl who is the happy recipient of
his attentions. It was a square,
white box, tied with violet rib
bons, and the girl opened ii with
the liveliest ant icipa I ions. It con
tained violets sure enough, a mon
strous bunch of the Parma sort,
and the girl was giving ecstatic
cries over them, when something
unnatural in their appearance
caught her eye. She looked again
and again. Yes, they were artifi
cial, and they had been sprinkled
with some bad perfume which was
more like new-mown hay than vio
let, but which had evident 1\ been
intended to paint the rose, as if
were. She sat on the bed and
laughed and laughed. Then she
read tie* note that came with the
blooms. It said: "I do not at all
approve of the extravagant fash
ion young women of the day have
of wearing perishable flowers,
but. since if seems quite a fad
now, I send you some lasting
blooms, which you may wear
every day from now until summer
time.”
It is sad to have to relate that
this young woman is so unappre
ciative she hasn't worn her cor
sage bouquet yet.
STRANGELY FATEFUL DEATH
Shunned Elevators All His Life Only
to Fall Down Stairs and
Ereak His Neck.
There died in Philadelphia a few
days ago a man who entertained j
an aversion to elevators which
lasted till his death. Although
his business often required hint to
frequent certain tail, modern
buildings, he always carefully
avoided the elevators, and labori
ously < limbed one (light of stairs
after another rat her t han risk his
life in one of t host* “infernal deal h
traps.’’ as he called them. This
man had a mind of more than or
diuary intelligence, and lie was
prosperous in his business, yet no
amount of argument could induce
him to forego his ludicrous whim.
The manner of this man's death
was strangely fateful. In walk
ing downstairs in one of the sky
scrapers on Chestnut street he
slipped and fell, breaking his
neck. This happened between the
seventh and eighth stories and the
elevator bore the body down to
the first floor. This was the only
time he had ridden in the (‘levator,
and then Ik* couldn’t help himself.
Eels for Germany.
The demand in < lermany for eels
is so large that arrangements
have been made by a German firm
to start an eeliug fishery in the
Nile delta. The eels will 1h*
cleaned, salted and put into casks
there, with ice and antiseptic for
malin. It is expected that 150,
000 a week will be shipped soon.
ANIMAL ATTACKS ON MEN.
Roars and Growls Are More Often
Than Not Pure Bluffs—Kow
They Charge.
Many pictures of animals' at
tacks on man or on each other will
have to be revised if t hey are made
true to life, says the Baltimore
Herald. Most of the conceptions
are entirely wrong, according to
the statement of a close student
of such things.
“in seizing their prey tigers and
lions almost invariably go for the
throat.'' he says, “though in one or
two instances that have come
under my notice of animals killed
by tigers they have evidently first
been hamstrung. These probably
were victims of young and inexpe
rienced tigers. 1 once saw a man
charged and knocked over by a
panther and he only saved his
throat by putting up his arm,
w hich. as well as his shoulder, the
animal grasped with teeth and
claws.
“Anyone who knows anything
about elephants must be aware
that the trunk, and particularly
the tip of the trunk, is the most
delicate and sensitive part of the
animal and that he shields it from
injury by every possible means in
his power. It is, therefore, very
uni ikely t hat he won Id expose it in
the act of charging. My expe
rience, limited though it be. points
to the fact that an elephant, once
he has made up his mind to charge,
curls up his trunk 1 ight.
“Bisons and buffaloes, when
they charge, invariably poke their
noses in the air and commence
running at you with their heads
well up. much in the manner of
domestic cattle, and only lower
their horns when within a few
yards of the object of their atten
tions. This I take to be a mere
matter of common sense on the
part of tin* animal, for if he puts
his head down, say even 40 yards
away, he could not possibly see
where he was going.
“Hears, when wounded, will
often get on their hind legs and
dam e about from sheer rage, and
will also at times do so in order to
get a better view of the where
abouts of their enemy; but when
they charge, whether it be at a
man mounted or on foot, they in
variably charge on all fours.
“In charging most animals give
vent to certain vocal sounds—
grunts or roars—and this, it is
natural to suppose, is done with a
view to terrifying and demoraliz
ing the object they are attacking;
in fact, more often than not it is a
mere bluff on the animal's part. I
have often seen tigers roar when
charging which never really
meant mischief, and which, when
met by a bold front, turned off.”
Another Radium Wonder.
In a paper just read before the
I?oval society it was shown that
when a little radium—which is
now practically unpurcliasable in
this country is brought near the
head in the dark there is a sensa
tion of light produced, which is
due to a fluorescence excited in
the lens and ret ina of t he eye. The
fact that fluorescence can be ex
cited in living tissues is entirely
new, and has already excited the
greatest interest, no one knowing
yet what the consequences of the
fluorescent state may be. It is
known that the radium is not seen,
because sight is always accom
panied by bleaching of the color
ing matter of the eye, known as
the visual purple, and radium has
no action on thissubsfance.—Lon
don Chronicle.
Back to the Dutch.
A leading citizen of the city of
Toledo is exhibiting a peculiar
condition of things, lie is an old
man of 90 and was born in Am
sterdam, but went to America
when he was a child, and through
disuse soon forgot his native
tongue. Since he has become in
sane he has forgotten every word
of English which he habitually
spoke, and speaks nothing but
Dutch, which he now remembers
as perfectly as when he tirst left
Holland.
NOT SUPERLATIVELY POOR
Land That a Poverty-Stricken Man
Was Mot Bad Enough Off
to Want.
Bourke Coekran was condemning a cer
tain popular novel, relates the New York
Tribune.
“This novel,” he said, “is as poor and
barren as Elmo county land.”
“Is Elmo county land very poor and
barren?” asked one of Mr. Cockran’s in
terlocutors.
"Is it?” said lie. "Well, I should say it
is. Once two strangers rode on horse
back through Elmo county, and the bar
renness of tiie land amazed them. Noth
ing but weeds and rocks everywhere. .Vs
they passed a farmhouse they saw an old
m.tn sitting in the garden, and they said:
“ Poor chap! Poor, poverty stricken
old fellow!’
"The old man overheard them, and
called out in a shrill voice:
'Gents, I hain't so poor an’ poverty
stricken as ye think. 1 don't own none o’
this land.’ ”
A Grateful Young Lady.
Sullivan. Ark., April 11.—Miss Fay
Clover, one of our brightest young ladies,
is receiving the congratulations of her
many friends on her restoration to good
health. For a long time she has been
ailing and her gratitude for her complete
recovery has prompted her to explain how
it was accomplished.
“Some months ago T found myself in a
very serious condition,” gays Miss Clover.
“I had neglected myself till 1 was forced
to give my condition immediate attention,
1 could not sleep at night, my appetite
failed and my Kidneys were affected, caus
ing a severe backache and a dull pain in
my head.
"A friend advised me to give Dodd's
Kidney Pills a trial and I bought a box
to please her. not thinking that they
would do me any good. I used them and
was surprised at the improvement they
made in my ease. In a short time I was
permanently cured. They are a splendid
remedy.”

“Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam : — I suffered
misery for several years. My back ached
and I had bearing-down pains, and fre
quent headaches. I would often wake
from a restful sleep in such pain and
misery that it would be hours before
I could close my eyes again. I dreaded
the long nights and weary days. I
could do no work. I consulted differ
ent physicians hoping to get relief,
but, finding that their medicines did
not cure me, I tried Lydia la. i*iHic

it was highly recommended to me. I am
glad that I did so, for I soon found
that it was the medicine for my case.
Very soon I was rid of every ache and

and have gained in weight a lot." —
