Three Fourteen^ In One Family.
Kokomo, Ind., special: The record ot
the proverbial seventh son of the sev-
enth son was badly smashed by a birth
in this city last week. This place is now
the home of the fourteenth daughter of
the fourteenth daughter of the four-
teenth daughter, a record probably not
surpassed in the world. The Infant ap-
peared at the home of J. H. and Mrs.
Hurt, on West Mulberry street, it being
the fourteenth birth to the mother, who
is only 38 years old. Mrs. Burt, who was
a Miss Harriet Bond, was the fourteenth
child borne by her mother, who is also
the four! eenth.child of her parents. All
these were single births, there not being
a twin or triplet in any of the families.

( Staked Ills Body Against SIOO.
Dr. Rucker, coroner of Pocatello.
Idaho, came to Denver last week to get
possession of a body won in a game of
cards. His antagonist Is Dr. Ceuno,
the Italian consul. Cueblo Perri com-
mitted suicide Just before the day set
for his execution for the, murder of a
man named McNamara. One day Perrl
offered to wager his corpse against $100
that he could defeat Dr. Rucker at
cards. If he should win the doctDr
should send the money to PenTs
mother in Southern Italy. In case he
should lose the doctor should have his
body to dissect. Dr. Rucker won and
Perri signed a paper ordering that his
body should forever remain in the pos-
session of Dr. Rucker. Dr. Ceuno will
make every effort to gain possession of
what is left of the Italian murderer and
bury the bones according to the rites of
j y the church.
An Elephant's Private Car.
The Memphis Car and Foundry Works
is building a circus train of six cars,
which, when completed, will make a
train as long as two ordinary trains of
that size. There are one elephant car
and Ave flat cars In * he course of con-
struction. They are nearly twice as
long as the ordinary car. The timbers
and the Irons are much heavier in every
respect The elephant car is remarkable.
This animal is said not to be savage,
but qf an inquiring mind. He wants to
know what is going on without, and he
frequently thrusts his trunk through
and rips open the side of a car and
views the landscape at his will until the
keeper can have him more securely
closed In. The builders flatter them-
selves that Jumbo's kin will not let him-
self out of this car. It Is eight feet clear
on the inside and is fifty feet long. Its
sides are of double thickness. The outer
wall is of cypress and the inner of
smoothly dressed oak. There Is not a
bolt head or a bar that he can get hold
of to twist out with his trunk. The
barred windows are covered with
wrought iron bars that are fastened un-
der the walls with bolts.

She saw in the direction Indicated by

"Keep well to the left as you turn
the corner. The bottom is all out, where
the sun gets to the frost," he called
after her.
"And you hired her, father?"
"Yes," replied Mr. Todd from the
depths of his weekly paper.
Mrs. Todd and her son, Morton, had
been to the village six miles away, with
butter and eggs. They brought the
mail for the neighborhood.

Mrs. Todd.

A Woman Mistaken for a Wolf.
The Russian papers record a distress-
ing accident which took place some
short time ago near Dorpat. Wolves
had appeared In unusual numbers. A
hunter determined to kill some of them,
hoping to frighten away the band. A
horse died during the day. He pur-
chased the body and placed It on the
edge of the wod to draw the wolves.
The night was dark. Armed with sev-
eral rifles, he took his stand under a
covert soon after nightfall. He had. not
long been at his post when he saw
something black moving actively on
the horse's carcass. Sure it was a
wolf, he aimed and fired. Instantly he
heard a despairing shriek, evidently
from a human being, which gave him
the greatest uneasiness. He went up
and found a poor woman mortally
■wounded and struggling in death's
agony. She told him she was the
mother of three children dying of hun-
ger. She had observed the carcass dur-
ing the day, but was ashamed to be
seen taking a portion of It, so she had
.waited till nightfall to cut a piece of
it for her starving children. She had
a kitchen knife, and lying by her was
a stewpan which she had brought to
receive the meat. Her story was In-
vestigated and found true in every par-
ticular. The investigation led, more-
over, to the discovery of the existence
of great distress among the peasants
of the vicinity. The neighboring au-
thorities immediately took measures
for the support of the three orphans.
One of them was given to the' hunter,
the involuntary cause of their moth-
er's death. He undertook to bring it
up and launch it well into life. The
village undertook the care of another.
The authorities ordered the head of the
village to take charge of the third, "be-
cause he should have ascertained the
distress of the victim and her family,
and have prevented her by his charity
from being driven to the cruel extrem-
ity which caused her death."
Sold Gold Coin at a Discount,
The Fair department store of Chi-
cago celebrated its twentieth anniver-
sary recently by selling bright new $5
gold pieces for $4.75 and silver dollars
at 90 cents. A young woman behind a
cashier's desk on the main stairway
was kept busy all day selling the
money. She made about three sales a
minute. There was a long line of ex-
pectant men, women and children ex-
tending from the money counter down
the stairs and along one of the aisles
all day. It took about fifteen minutes
to get to the cashier's desk. Each
buyer of gold or silver coin brought the
exact change and only one sale was
made to a person, except when some
one reached the head of the line twice
without being caught.
lileycllst and Rattlesnake.
Hartford special to New York Sun:
Edward Coates, a bicyclist of this city,
was riding with a companion along the
shore of the lake In Bristol to-day and
saw a snake colled In the road in front
of him. He turned out, supposing the
snake was an ordinary black one.
As he came abreast of the snake,
which was darting its head up and
down, it made a spring and fastened
its fangs in his bicycle trousers at the
knee. At the same time the warning
whirring sound told Coates that he had
a rattler to deal with. There were sev-
eral revolutions of the wheel before he
came to a stop, the snake keeping a
vice-like grip and curling itself around
the bicyclist's leg. Coates seized a stick
and beat the head of the snake free
from around his leg. The snake sank
Its fangs time and again into the stick
and made repeated jumps at Coates.
After fifteen minutes It was killed.
Coates brought the snake to this city
to-night. It measured 4 feet 8 inches in
length. It had fourteen rattles, and
it was at least two inches in diameter.

Pittsburg special: Death came to Ai-
des S. Ludwig while he was on his knees
with la hands clasped in prayer. Lud-
wig was a bartender at the Central
hotel, and left there to accept a similar
position at the Bank Exchange. About
midnight he went to his room. His
room-mate, A. W. Wolf, had retired an
hour before. In the morning Wolf awoke
and found Ludwig kneeling at the side
of the bed. Thinking the kneeling man
in the midst of his devotions, Wolf said
nothing and fell asleep. When awak-
ened he saw Ludwig still kneeling at tho
side of the bed, and called to him. Get-
ting no response, and thinking his room-
mate was asleep, Wolf tried to rouse
him. Then he saw he was talking to a
corpse. Ludwig's hands were clasped
and were under his bowed head, which
had fallen forward on the bed. Coroner
Maxwell said heart disease caused
death.

Mrs. Todd sniffed. She was thinking
of her own long, cold ride, which had
been urged upon her that morning.
"Where will she board?" was the next
venture after a protracted silence.
Mr. Todd put down his paper.
"I told her she might board here if
she could put up with our ways and not
expect any fixings.
"Hiram Todd! Didn't I say after we
got clear of that Anastasia Lee girl I'd
never board another woman teachei .
and then—Morton."
"What of Mort?"
"Why, he's most seventeen. Who is
she, anyway?" continued Mrs. Todd,
discontentedly.
"I dunno. She lives in the county
seat and has a first-class certificate.
She has a boss recommend from the
superintendent, too. Mort could go fur-
ther and fare worse, but she won't look

commission object or charitable work
We shall use the rolls of the poor com-
mission, however, to get the names of
the needy.
"The land has not been all subscribed
1 yet, but as soon as it is the street sweep-
ings will be hauled to the different lots
! and used for top dressing, and in the
I future we will store these sweepings in
I the winter on tho lots of land in differ-
i ent parts of the city which are to be
] used by the agricultural commission
i the following season. The willingness
j of the poor to take advantage of the
offer and help themselves in every way
they can is shown by the large number
of applicants who have already asked
for land.
"The returns this year should be
more than double those of last season
from the fact that the land can be
plowed earlier and those who had their
first experience last year will profit
by it, and we will have a more perfect
system of supervision. I have obtained
from the agricultural board of the state
the authority for the statement that
planting even as late as the middle ot
June is often attended with better re-
sults than planting done in May.
"I would recommend to cities in-
tending to try the plan that the educa-
tional part of it is really worth more
than the thousands of dollars of benefit
received in the crops. Every one will
concede that we have drifted from na-
ture's own way of getting a livelihood.
The idea of the many in rushing to the
cities and trying to get a living by
their wits is not nature's way, and this
agricultural plan will be, I believe, a
step in the right direction. I would
advise the hiring of a few paid men,
practical farmers, for a short time dur-
ing the planting season, and this is all
the help that need be hired. These men
should be very practical and men
whose hearts are in the work.
"From the results of this plan I am
satisfied that in the future large cities
will do well to set apart certain sec-
tions of land for permanent use in this
direction. This will become more and
more apparent as the large cities be-
come more and more populous, and no
man can do a more philanthropic act
than to donate land for Buch use. I
would even favor municipalities pur-
chasing for this purpose.
"These agriculturally cultivated
parks will, I believe, be found as bene-
ficial in results as the purely plasure
parks, and will be as useful for the
prosperity of a city's inhabitants; and
by this I do not mean to advocate at
all the giving up or lessening of the
number of our breathing spots, the
parks devoted to pleasure and recrea-
tion.
"As the battle of life grows sharper
and more bitter and the cities increase
in age and size, the needs of such use-
ful agricultural parks will become more
and more evident. There will be no
trouble in finding those both competent
and willing to act as teachers and to
serve on the commission, and It will be
of inestimable benefit to cities, from
I a standpoint of mere utilitarianism,

CYCLOM ANIA.
The Beientmc Name of the Crsio for
Wheeling In Franc*.
"Le Velocipediste, or Running Cy-
clist (Velox Communis et Migrator;
Family of Coleoptera)," Is the title of
an amusing little essay in the Paris
Figaro, iii which that familiar division
of the human family, the cyclist, is dis-
cussed from a naturalist's point of view.
"Like the June hugs, which skim buzz-
ingly over the flower beds," says the
Figaro, "the velox communis flies
along the surface of our streets with
disquieting rapidity, frequently grazing
in its course the careless pedestrian
who loves to cross crowded thorough-
fares while reading his newspaper. Of
all the animals of the Parisian fauna
it is by far the most prolific and multi-
plies with startling rapidity. The male,
of a grayish-yellow color, is generally
homely. The female, on the other
hand, offers in the harmonious and
opulent beauty of her outlines a verita-
ble treat for our charmed eyes. She is
tamed without difficulty. The number
of 'velocipedistes' has so augmented
during the last few years that It has be-
come a public danger. The Academy of
Medicine is justly alarmed at the prog-
ress of cyclomanla, as is called this cir-
cular madness, which was studied for
the first time by the celebrated Esqui-
roul, who himself at last fell a victim
to the same terrible malady.
"It Is dangerous to get in the way ot
the 'velox communis.' this animal not
being accustomed to diverge from the
straight line, which it follows Imper-
turbably. The frequency with which It
runs down and malms whatever hap-
pens to be In its path is too well known
to be dwelt on here. Sometimes the
'cyclist migrator' travels in troupes
and even in single file, like the wild
duck. The augurs of antiquity—a
verse of Ovid seems to prove it, at
least—would have drawn good or bad
omens, according as they perceived the
flight ot the 'veloces' in odd or even
numbers."
BLACKSNAKE IN HIS POCKET.
Terrible Experience of t'harles Miller of
Tarry town. N. Y.
Charles Miller ot Tarrytown, a track-
man on the Hudson River railroad, had
a thrilling experience with a black-
snake Sunday and Is still Buffering
from the shock he received. During
the noon hour Miller and a companion
sat down beside the railroad to eat
their dinner. When Miller had fin-
ished his meal ha fell asleep. He was
aioused by a commotion in his trou-
sers pocket and was horrified to be-
hold the tail of a snake as the animal
disappeared into the cavity. He wore
loosely fitting trousers, tile pocket of
which was torn. Instantly he felt the
cold serpent coiling about his leg. He
screamed and attempted to free him-
self from the snake by kicking vigor-
ously, but the snake only clung the
tighter and at Intervals squirmed and
wriggled about. Miller's companion
ran to his assistance and by gentle ma-
nipulation succeeded in removing the
reptile, which proved to be a black-
snake three feet and six inches In
length. It was killed by the trackman.
Miller was so terribly frightened he
could not move for hours.

Why Folks Shake Hands.
When the iron glove might mean
mischief it was a sign of peace to un-
cover the hand in greeting. That is how
the custom, which is so fast falling into
neglect, of taking oft the glove to shake
hands arose, and that is why gloves
have always to be removed on presen-
tation to the queen at court. But
though the glove was removed, there
was still, in (he rough old days, some
fear of treachery, and that is why we
shake hands at all, for when men met
they surrendered to the grasp of tho
other the right and weapon-wielding
hand. Had it been possible for Presi-
dent Carnot, says Sir Herbert Maxwell,
to insist on mutual surrender of right
hands, the attack upon him would as-
suredly have, miscarried.
