"fib© students of the University of
California have pledged themselves to
improve Cricl beautify the grounds of
the institntion by their own labor, thus
snaking improvements, for which the
university has no money.
Why, Yen.
A Chi«ago woman has risked her
life to save a rooster from a' burning
"building. The bird was hardly worth
the risk; but the woman showed her
-courage, and is really something for
■the res«K5tl party to crow over.
The arfchiy; fish has a natural blow-
igun. The Sfiimal possesses the curi-
ous property of being able to shoot
drops ol water from its mouth with ex-
traordinary accuracy for a consider-
able distance. This singular faculty
is of use to the animal in securing its
food. A fly or small insect passing
■over the water has very little chance
to Dcapo from the deadly aim of the
archer fish. This fish is perfectly St
home in water. He never gets out of
ammunition, and is not one of those
unfortunate creatures who sees his
best jjscmo when he has no gun. The
amber ia fly, and is always ready. ,

Vegetarian boots arc advertised in
Londejv, the uppers are made of "panus
®orinm," the soles of closely water-
proofed flax belting. To .show that
the skins of slaughtered animals are
not necessary the vegetarians say that
"India rfibber, gutta percha, steel and
iron and brass nails, and brass caps,
cashmere and cotton, elastic and web-
bing, wool and list, cork and straw,
silk and jate, and even brown paper
and wax go to form the modern mys-
tery which still carries the old name
of boot and shoe." It is not meat that

|foutliern Cotton Mills.
In 1890 the average capitalization
of southern cotton mills, nearly all of
them being small, was nearly $3G per
spindle, while that of northern mills
was about $25 per spiiK&Ie. While
the northern capitalization has not
decreased, tho south now has a large
number of now mills which have no
superior in the world in their class,
•and these magnificent _ mills ,have cost
less than $15 per spindle for -steam
mills, while water-power milfs of the
highest typo are now being built for
$20 per spindle.

Tlie Pace That Kills.
Vut Work and Fast Eating Make Three
Score Years and Ten a Ripe Old
.Age in Those Days.
(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Tho American people live too fast, eat
too fast and drink too fast. This has
brought upon many of us a train of nervous
and stomach disorders that are very diffi-
cult to manage. Investigation and chemical
analysis to diocover sucli compounds as will
help those suffering from such ills has re-
sulted ia tho discovery of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, which has taken
very high rank as a specific remedy.
H. P. Owens, a traveling man thirty
years of age, who is well known in this
community and generally liked because he
is a bright, energetic young lel'lo.w, resides
with his mother at 3^5 Central Avenue,
Cfmimiati, Ohio. He has been a victim of
dyspepsia which took the form ®f continu-
ous constipation, and, strangely enough,
his mother suffered from the same trou bie.
Mr. Oweus testified to tho merits ot Pink
Pills in a most enthusiastic way, and said
to the Bnquirer reporter:
"1 tun glad to say anything I can for Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, because they did me
great gooi, and other people ought to know
of their virtues as a medicine in stomach
troubles. It was some lime ago when I
felt a heavy feeiiny. in my stomach, and I
#row very cor'-stipated. i did not consult a
doctor, but having heard of the Pink Pills K
bought a box of them. In two or three
days the heavy feeling in my stomach dis-
appeared and 'my bowels were regular. I
ilia not have to use more than a box of
them acfore 1 was well. Since that time I
hare only occasionally been troubled with
constipation, and I nevei* get worried, be-
-cmisw I know just what to do. Mother was
also troubled with indigestion and' the
Pink Pills did the same for her they did
Jor Hie—cured her, didn't they, mother."
When appealed to Mrs. Oweus answered-:
"That is right, I found it was a great
-amlk'iDe, so ea^y to take and so;,quick and
lasting in it3 results."
Mr. Otoene continued: "I believe that
these pins are also Mod for nervousness.
When i had my stomach trouble I was also
4|iiise nervous aud that disappeared with
the dyspepsia. ThePink Pills wore all that
i» clainfc<f for them. You can make any
■*»«f this testimonial you see fit."

E IS AS TREACH-
erous as a puma,
Leon, and I advise
you to keep your
eyes open. Mark my
words, he intends
to harm you at the
first opportunity.
"What can be his
reason for wishing
to harm me, Arlo?
I have never
harmed him."
"Jealousy, Leon; jealousy. I saw his
eye kindle with the venomous light of
a snake's yesterday, when you beat him
in throwing the bolas. You did do
wonderfully well after little prac-
tice."
"It was an accident, Arlo. I could
not do it again if I should try a thou-
sand times,"
"Well, accident or not, it came in at
the right time, and it is no wonder Tip
po envies you your victory. But beware
of him as you would of a puma."
The youthful speakers, neither being
over 18, were cantering leisurely across
that remarkable pampa region Jying be-
tween the Parana and Paraguay rivers,
tho Gran Chaco. They were on the ex-
treme southern border belonging to the
vast estate of Manuel Strain, who lay
claim to the ownership of more than a
thousand horses, forty thousand head
of cattle and nearly a hundred thousand
sheep, feeding at will on his domain
of pampas.
Arlo Strain was this wealthy estan-
ciero's only son, and his companion,
Leon Lyons, was an American boy,
whom Arlo had met and formed a
strong attachment for while he was in
this country getting his education. The
grandfather of Arlo had gone from the
United States to settle in the country
north of Buenos Ayres.
Leon had been glad to accept an in-
vitation to visit his South American
friend, and never had he enjoyed him-
self better than on his wild rides over
the pampas. How he slept at night!
And he often declared that he had
never known what it as to have an
appetite before!
It was then the season for "rounding
up" the cattle. At first he had to con-
tent himself with seeing the gauchos, or
herdsmen, as they rode down and las-
soed the animals, but finally he had
ventured to join his companion in the
exhilarating work.
It was wonderful how these sons of
the pampas performed their feats of
lance and lasso, but when Arlo ex-
plained that they had been trained to
It from infancy; that long lines were
given them to practice throwing, and
that by the time they were 4 years old
they were put on the back of a spirited
horse, with a genuine lasso to use, he
did not marvel so much at their skill.
Arlo had acquired a good deal of that
skill and Leon was fain to believe that
few of the gauchos could outdo him,
but when he said as much the other
laughed, saying:
"Wait till you see what Tippo can
do. He can throw a lance farther and
a lasso surer than anyone on the es-
tancias."
The gaucho Guiesippo, whose name
was lent to the scene. From
Leon's left, concealed from him
no doubt by the tall grass, was one of
the old bulls that were the terror of
the herds sweeping furiously toward
the dismounted boy. It was doubtful
if the enraged animal had seen the help-
less victim in his pathway yet, but that
fact could not change the inevitable
result, for he was sure to catch sight
of him soon.
Arlo was about to shout to Leon of
his peril and dash to his rescue, when
the cry froze on his lips at the sight he
beheld on the other hand. The second
peril was nothing leEs than Tippo, rid-
ing like the wind down upon the boy,
with his lance poised to be hurled at
his head the moment he should get near
enough to be sure of his aim. A dense
clump of mimosa concealed the ap-
proaching bull from the sight of the
gaucho.
If Arlo failed to give his warning cry
to his friend, he did not remain inac-
tive, but urged his horse ahead at the
top of its speed, and so evenly were
these onsets made that it seemed cer-
tain that a triple meeting would take
place at the converging point.
But Arlo realized that this must
prove fatal to his friend if not to him-
self, and he suddenly raised his lasso,
and with that quick, dexterrus move-
ment peculiar to the master of this
pliant weapon, he sent the long line
whirring through the air, the noose at
its end settling over Leon's shoulders^
just as a loud bellow from the bull an-
nounced that it had seen him. At the
same moment Tippo threw his lance.
Arlo turned his horse sharply to the
right, and as the taut lasso jerked Leon
forward upon the ground, Tippo's lance
whizzed harmlessly over him.
And then, before the would-be mur-
derer was aware of his peril, the mad-
dened bull was upon him, goring and
trampling him to death.
Having wreaked his vengeance upon
the enemy that he had found in his
path, the brute dashed on across the
pampas, leaving the two boys unhurt.
You may be sure that they were thank-
ful for their deliverance, in spite of
Tippo's awful fate.
THREE ENGLISH GHOSTS.
The
RIDING LIKE THE WIND,
had been corrupted into Tippo, was a
tall, swarthy, fierce-looking native,
whom few liked, but many feared. He
was known to be a desperate fellow
when aroused, and his passionate na-
ture would brook little or no opposition.
It was he that Arlo meant In his warn-
ing to Leon, for it had been the latter's
misfortune to incur the enmity of Tip-
po at a game of bolas the day before,
when, quite accidentally, the American
lad had won the laurels from the boast-
ful gaucho.
Little dreaming of what was likely
to follow the sjmple affair, however,
Leon joined enthusiastically in the
wild work of cattle-hunting on the
pampas. He had never known such
sport before, and feeling his blood
tingle under the excitement of the mad
races, he dashed hither and thither,
with more pluck than prudence.
It was the agreement that he and
Arlo should keep together, but it is not
always easy to carry out the plans on
such occasions. Thus, toward midday,
as the latter dashed through a clump of
date palms to head off a bunch of cat-
tle, he suddenly missed his companion.
Knowing the importance of quick
action then, he wheeled his horse and
glanced hurriedly <?ver the scene. He
did not look in valn- tor away to his
right he sa.w Leon standing over the
lead body of his horse.
What had happened to bring about
this calamity he did not have time to
consider, for at that very mo-
ment a more startling aspect
Lady in Cream" and a Man With
a Beard.
There is hardly a castle or ancient
manor house in all England that has
not some ghostly tradition connected
sfJ&k it, says the New York World. In
.w-ae mansions the spectres are said to
stalk and gibber and shriek night after
night, while in others they appear only
at long intervals. The latter seems to
be the case at Clandon house, near
Guildford, which belongs to the earl of
Onslow, but which is at present let by
him to a tenant. Here tho ghosts, for
there are three of them, have but re-
cently made their appearance, and,
though they seem quite familiar with
the centuries-old structure which they
inhabit, no one of this generation has
been able to recall anything about
them. The first is that of a beautiful
lady, richly attired in a cream-colored
silk robe and wearing a profusion of .
great jewels. Sometimes she covers the
cream-colored silk with a black cloak,
and occasionally she carrics a dagger
or a tumbler in her hand. All the do-
mestics say they have seen her many
times, and the under footman stoutly
maintains that he once saw "the lady
in cream" take a book from the library
shelves, and, after glancing through its
pages, carefully replace it. The second
spectre is more terrifying, for it ap-
pears in the form of a very ugly female
black dwarf, with a glittering ring i®
her nose, and whose dress indicates
a condition of servitude. She always
bears in her hand a lighted lantern. A
rough-looking man makes up this
phantom trio, and he has a great beard
that is evidently the pride and joy of
his ghostly existence. Pie is not so often
•seen as the lady in cream and her hide-
ous companion, and has the hearing ot
one oppressed by a great sorrow. A lady
spiritualist has had the hardihood to
visit the house and converse with the
cream-colored apparition who, it is re-
ported, related to her as sad a story as
ghost ever told. In her time she had
sinned, she said, and her husband fount
her out. He accordingly bribed the
black dwarf, his wife's attendant, to
kill her mistress, which she did, and
she has ever since been going about
with a lighted lantern looking for for-
giveness. The appearance of these
ghosts has caused great excitement in
the quiet country neighborhood, and
many people besides the domestics
claim to have seen all three.
Japanene and Opium.'
A Japanese native paper states that
judgment was recently given by the
Yokohama local court in the case of
Tel Keihe, a Chinese residing at its 150
settlement and Misawa Hatsugord, a
naturalized Japanese of Chinese birth,
who were arrested while indulging in
the use of opium at the residence of an-
other Chinaman named Ryo-zei. Ryo-
zei was sentenced to hard labor for six
years for having sold the opium and
two others to major confinement for
two years. Remembering much of the
medical evidence given before the com-
mission in India, what perverted no-
tions concerning opium the Japanese
authorities must have!—Exchange
