For a moment he hesitated whether he would y at his assailant s throat, but he thought better or it, turned and bounded across the deserted road, Vioc at his heels. For a minute the race was atlong: the roadway. Then the chief vaulted a low fence and started away over the open ground that covers the greater portion of this northern slope of the hill of Montmnrtre. The steep incline is divided off into garden riots, and the race soon became a stee-plec. use. The hunted man leaped another fence, crashed through It hedge, and doubled around a wall. Here Vioc lost him for an instant, but. thanks to tl1e moonlight, sighted him scudding. bent double along a ditch. Little by littrle. the detective gained ground. His man had drunk e'no.utr.h and danced too much. Suddenly '-the desperado stopped, and Vioc e-uvv. why. The rutan had dhanced on a hoe left, with other gardeners tools, on a whcelbnrx-ow he had happened to pass. Thus strmed, he shouted: Come near and 1 brain you! The plot of ground they were in was being used for the cultivation of choice vege-tazb-les. It was covered with scores of round glass shades to keep the pl-an-ts from the cold, shades about as large as a moderate- sized owerpot, and with :1 .pro-tnher- ance at the top to allow them to be easily handled. An idea occurred to Vioc. Instead of slackening his pace he came on at a run, as it he meant nt- Itermpti-n-g to rush inibenenth his nw.n s guard. But. two or three yards from the chief, he stopped short, picked -up a shade. and hurled at the eri.m.inu.1's head. There was a smash of gzlu-ss, a sort of scream, and one of the terrors of Paris rolled over with an ugly wound in his skim.

'1`he buik of the. later authority is to ! the effect that civilization at present "harms the negro by exposing him to dis- eases he never know before. In his sav- age state the black man goes naked and becomes strong _by a constant contact with the fresh air. The first thing done for the happy black heathen is to make him. wear uncomfortable clothing, in which he sweats and breeds poisonous microbes with horrible fluency. He never changes his clothing. and when he gets wet he knows no better than to dry them by sitting close to the re. In this W85 he contracts fever and nmiemnixies an otherwise robust constitution. For this reason many magistrates hold that from the adoptionof civilized customs by the ` natives, and the consequent increase of disease, there will result a check to the present rate of increase among the blacks.` Tho Anni-h tnlfn omnmcr fhn a.n-rInllnr1 In any way tne manuructurer Wlnflca. At present a factory in Holland is en- Agaged in fashioning the hzwdened milk into various articles, buttons being_ the chief. The buttons made (11 this peculiar way difer very little in a-ppearunce from ordinary bone buttons. They are :1 (~re:un,v white in appearance, but can be colored black or red or any other color by mixing the coloring matter with the milk before the hardening process be- gins. They are said to possess advantages over the bone and celluloid` article-s in l>oi:ng less brittle and loss linh-`.e to chip. For this reason the billiard bulls and pool `balls which have` been made in England from this substance have found favor whore a clieap ball IS required instead of the expensave ivory ones. 1'71. nn:n1:`\a 6I\n snoillz unh.a1-nnr-n line hf-`on 01 L11!` l`.Xp\`.'ll3lV(f nru1`_y uuca.

In the same way it is a good substitute for ivory in billiard and pool balls. The great difculty the inventor had to ` overcome, and which` he grappled with unsuccessfully for seven years before he hit upon the right plan, was to keep the color of the substance of` a uniform shade. According to J. R. Burdoch of Brooklryn. who has known the inventor for many years, the early experiments with milk buttons always resulted in the turning out of n subs-tunce hard enough to be sure, but breaking ou-t in spots of yellow. like freckles on a country boy.-- New York Herald. 4 MANHUNT IN PANRIS.

' In former years the tribes alicted by ! want of food would have gone upon the Warpath and sought to plunder some of their neighbors. To-day they send out their young men to earn wages in the elds or in the mines of the white men, and thus silently this great revolution is going on, making from day to day more i real the rule or the white man in Atri- I an octave. i One of the comparatively few things that the hand of improvement has.not' touched is the cowbell. which is made now just as it was fty, a h-_und-red, and more years ago, and has now just the same peculiar, clanking sound as ever. Cowbells are made. some of copper and some of a composition metal; but most or them are made of iron and nished with a coating of bronze. The cowbell is not cast; it is out from a" sheet of metal which is folded into shape and riveted. The metal `loop at the top, through which the strap is passed, is riveted into the hell. C~ow.be-ll's are made of ten sizes, whose sounds range through Sometimes musical enter- tainers who play u-ponebells of one sort and another come to the nmnuzfacturer, and by selection anlong .bei!ls of the various sizes nd eight bells that are accurate 11] scale.

There are only four_ f-actorles in the United States 111 whxch corw-bells are made, and in each case the cowbell is. only an item of production among many other things. Oowbel-ls are sold all aver the country, just the same as ever, but much the greater number are sold in the south, the [southwest and the west, w-here farms are larger, less likely` to be under fence and cattle are more likely to stray.

The vhlade is about twice the length of the. Lhandle, dagger edged, thick at the nar- row guard and tapering off t6 exclusive ` thinness a-t the point. At the guard the cross-section of the blade is diamond- shaped and the two extra edges run al- most to the point. The real edges,whicl_1 are razor sharp, make a wound which the auxiliary edges, more blunt than sharp, aggravate to a terrible degree. So effective is it, and so murderous in the hands of a dexterous -man, that the ltav ; lian Government has made some_ experi- ments with it as a weapon at close qtltlr-`: ters, and in the unfortunate Massowuhi` campaign` several companies were armed with shields and long stillettos._ Ther.

A borne think-t ey were 'rst invented by the Saracens. From that time many ela- borate and whimsical designs were con- structed, and those which were skill- fu-lly and wonderfully inia_de brought fabulous prices, says a writer in The 0om~mercial- Advertiser. An old Italian soldier, who served prior to 1689, con- ; structed one of the most curious of these. j Byits mechanism the gure of on tortoise ; wasmade to drop into a plate of water, ; having ,the hours marked on its rim. The gure would oat around and stop 1 at the proper hour,tellin-g the. time like a learned pig. A lizard also was made in the same timekeeper to ascend a pillar on which the hours were marked and point out the time as it advanced. A mouse did thesame thing by creeping along an hour-marked corn-ice. The g- ure of a_golder_n cock that apped its wings twice with the approach of the hours and crowed twice -was also a po- pular favorite for ancient timekeepers. . nf fho vnrinriu annnimnnu Hunt mioI1+ ho He was beginning to thinlk that he might as well be leaving, when 3. par- ticularly noisy crowd in :1 corner of the ballroom attracted his attention.

One of these was of a ` kind qu-ite common in the seventeenth century, and consisted of a` lamp burner placed at the base of a `glassoil receptacle mounted vertically upon a suitable standard. The oil reser- voir had attached to it a scale, racing the burner and showing the hours, be- ` ginning at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, at -.whicl_1 time the lamp'wa to be lighted in winter, and ending at 7 'o clock in the morning. The lamp being lighted. the gradually. descending level of oil, as eomlbustion proceeded, marked the hours. Another device--of later origin, dating back to the beginning of the presen-t century--uvtilized the same principle. It consisted of. two communicating oil chambers, superposed by a clock dial- In one of the chambers was placed a night lamp to illuminate this dial, and in the other was suspended a oat from a cord which passed around a small pulley.

At their best. these time- pieces could have had only an indif- ferent degree of accuracy, yet they pro- bably served their purpose well, and cer- tainly are interesting at the present time as illustrating some of the expedients adopted by mechanicians of an earlier i period. It is easy to observe at an aquarium the habits of sh in feeding. Some are s_luggi~sh, some are erce, and some are sly. The trout are now fed on live kilhe. The killies when thrown into the tank scatter in all directions, with the trout after them like chain lightning, twisting and_ turning with marvelous celerity. The kilhes double, the trout dart after them. Rising to a bunch of killies mt the top, the trout fairly make the water y; they jump almost if not quite clear out of it as it they were turning someisauits, and down they go in again and on after the killies. It is a dashing, slashing, crash- ing pursuit, and in about half a minute the killies are all gone.

Vioc lit a cigarette and thought out his plan of campaign. It was soon set- tled, and he started to executed theme- lliminaries. By law. the police have to be presen-t at every public place of en- tertainment in Paris. At the entrance to the ballroom sat two sergeants de Ville in uniform, elbow to elbow, on a 11-en-c-h. Vioc, suddenly the worse .for drink. lurehed toward them and col- lavpsed on to a vacant seat at their `side. A whispered word gave them the cue, and they stared stolid-ly at the '81 Up- posite, while the detective -muttered his in.s~t1-uctione beneath his breath. Back in the ballroom Vioc fell `into line with them as they crossed the hall.

'1`hen you `re a doctor, madame, since you know how to take care of me?" asked the wood-cutter,who did not know his benefactress. Yes, my good man, ,was_ the reply. I am sorry for that, continued the, wood-cutter, because I shall never be able to pay all I owe you.
