Hanged Wrong Man
Lesurques, the principle figure in
the famous Judicial tragedy of the Ly-
ons mail, which has been staged the
world over, left a number of relatives
at the time of his execution. When
nls innocence was subsequently estab
iished, Napoleon III., in 1865, granted
a pension in perpetuity to the man's
lineal descendants. The pension was
paid by the French government until
quite recently. A few days ago a
Mine. Hehague. who described h-rself
as thf> direct descendants of Lesurque
on the remale side, wrote to the min-
ister of justice in Paris, insisting up-
on her right to the penson. The lady
who is 00 years old Is prepared to
produce tlu necessary proofs in or-
der to establish her Identity.
Antony the many curiosities of the

never was thought of when the Instru-

persons who are extremely deaf oft-

phone. Those who are so deaf that
they can distinguish nothing which

of the lips or by the use of an ear
trumpet or other similar device can

Interesting Story of Fierce Battle
With Wounded Animal.

Weekly gives an Interesting account j
of the slaying of a hippo. The duchess j
has killed Hons, tigers, elephants and i
| hher vicious animals, but she declares I
the slaying of u hippo is one of the j
most exciting battles she knows.
By THE DUCHESS OF AOSTA.
Half an hour's silent march brings [
i us within sight of a small lake, a short \
distance from the river: it is a float j
Ing Held; the roots of the rushes have j
Interlaced, weaving a big network,
} under which the waters are lmpris- j
I ined and Jealously hidden, covering j
j unfathomable mysteries, an infinity of J
j unknown lives. It is an ideal garden J
! if frail flowers born In stagnation.
] The lake Is already surrounded; but
I before beginning the hunt the chief
1 prays for the preservation of all those
! taking part from accident and death.
In the last hunt two men were killed
i tnd several hurt, by a furious hippo
'omlng charging out of the water,
j 'ramping and crushing all that he met
in his path
The chief prays; standing before a
lole In the ground In which he has
;ilaced an offering of tobacco, he pro-
lounces in a loud voice an invocation
o the protecting spirits; all the hunt-
;rs squat on the ground and clap their
lands—not In the noisy European
'ashion, but by striking the two palms
me against the other.
The chief breaks the spell—he
stands up and gives his orders. All
-lse, and at a signal the men go down
ipon the green carpet of floating field.
Complete silence again—we hold our
ireath in anxious expectation. The
hippo is invisible; if he is there he is
lidden under the protecting grasses.
Our wait is short; the hippo is indeed
there; a man has felt him under his
feet. But the beast travels under the
moving vault. The blacks never lose
sight of him for a moment; the circle
closes in; for an Instant they fear that
he will escape them by going out
toward the river, and they hurry after
him with lances poised; but he goes
back to the middle of the lake by an
underground passage.
! A man is knocked over; jostled by
the invisible animal, he loses his foot-
; ing and falls. The hippo is here—
| quite close to 11s—we see the grasses
move. With great skill a man throws

Pushing Up His Head He Bellows Fu-
riously.
tached to It A shout of joy goes up:
the harpoon stays upright, firmly plant-
ed in the animal's back. He disap-
pears once more, and the crowd of
hunters pursues him closely. A sec-
ond and a third harpoon are success-
fully thrown, and the ends of the
ropes quickly passed to men In canoes
They pull at the animal, which strug-
gles and resists, and. pushing up his
head bellows furiously. He plunges
down again, pulling after him the ca-
noes and paddlers.
There is an anxious moment, but
the weight of numbers tells, and he is
brought back to the surface. Find-
ing he cannot escape, he becomes \n^
furiated; he fights and struggles an<r
throws himself against the canoes,
tilting at them with his huge jaws:
he turns and attempts to charge,
I then tries again to wreck the canoes.
It is too dangerous a game to be
allowed to continue, and the men
close in and spear him to death with
their long lances. iHs death is al
most pathetic: with an efTort he U;ts
his forequarters out of [he water and
rests his head against the side of a
canoe. Then his head falls, his eyes
close and he dies.

Romance in Oriental Rugs
More than 3,000 years ago as tiles |
and marbles from Nineveh show,
j splendid fabrics were produced for
the adornment of the palaces of the
kings of Assyria, and every oriental
rug becomes a magic carpet when one
realizes how through the long days
of the long centuries these simple
people have been weaving in with the
| colors of the jewel and the rainbow
i the sunshine and shadow of their own
lives. How much of romance and "nap |
piness, how much of tears and sigh-
ing, have gone to the tying of the
myriad knots or followed the flying
! shuttle on its Journeys to and fro!
Post Cards.
1 The invention of postal cards is at-
tributed to a gentleman of Vienna,
Austria, ad the first ever used were
issued by the Austrian government in
1869. They were adopted in Kngland
! German . , and Switzerland in 1870, the
t'nited States authorized them in
June, 1872, and the first cards issued
under the act were sent out in May,
1873. The return postal card had been
in use in a number of European coun-
tries before it came in use with us in
the early eighties. e have Im-
ported!)—and vulgarized—the illumin-
ated postal card within the last half a
dozen years or so.
The Lusitania's Telephones
The telephones used on the steam-
ship Lusitania are quite interesting
The induction col. conductor and bell
of the instrument are inclosed in a
small white enamel box, and the
switch hook which projects from one
side is provided with a special retain-
ing device to prevent the receiver
from being knocked off by the motion
of the ship. The receiver is allowed
to rock on the hook, otherwise the
lever would lift and make a false con-
nection when the ship was pitching
and rolling.
Peculiar Charitable Idea
The proposed home for indigent
southern women in eNw York has met
with such generous support on the
par,, of northern women that the plan
has been changed and widened
stead of building the home in Vir-
ginia. as was at first proposed, it nas
now been determined to erect it near
New York and to open it to both
northern and southern women. It is
planned to conduct it along the lines
of the Louise home in Washington,
where President Tylers daughtei
spent her last days. The only re-
strictions will be that the inmates
shall be of gentle birth and re-
spectable. Mrs. Le Roy Broun is at
the head of the committee which is
raising the necessary funds.
The Jamacia Firefly
The Jamacia firefly, a species over
an inch in length, emits a very bril-
liant light, which comes from the side
of the head and beneath the thorax.
The light is a fluctuating one and not
the steadv glow of the glowworm. A
very remarkable fact is that this fluc-
tuating or pulsating light ma> con-
tinue after the death of the annimal.
It we suppose that the light of the
living insect is due to oxygen sup-
plied under its control to the lumi-
nous matter we may conclude that af-
ter death the oxygen of the air might
abtain access to it and produce a like
effect It is difficult however to ac-
count for the pulsations in the light
of the dead firefly.
