Of course, he was not always a boy, and as he grew up the ireakish antics of his stomach took many varied twists. On one occasion, when a druggist's back was turned, Tarare hastily swallowed a couple of dozen of corks of all sizes. At last, his stomach being full of such indigestible matter, he became the victim of violent attacks of colic and was finally compelled to seek the advice of M. Girard, of the Hotel Dieu. Girard called a council of physicians and Tarare's case was thoroughly discussed. They tried to explain to the man what would be the final outcome of such performances, but were greatly surprised, if not angered and chagrined, to find that he had actually swallowed a watch chain, seals and all, beside a bunch '? i?u ? oi seven keys ana a giove uuua. yy igu weie on an ivory ring nearly two inches in diameter; all this while the learned gentlemen were lecturing him I At the tinw of this examination he regularly ate twenty-four pounds of beef a day, besides other victuals id proportionate quantities.

"Raining Cats and Dogs." In Northafo mythology the cat is supposed to have great influence on the weather, and English sailors still say: 'The cat has a gale of wiEd in her tail," when she is unusually frisky. Witches J that rode upon the storms were thought to assume the shape of cats; and in tne i Harz Mountains the stormy northwest win<| is called the cat's nose. The dog is the signal of wind, like the woif,both of which animals were attendants upon Odin, the storm-god of the Northmen. The cat, therefore symbolizes the downpouring rain, and the dog is the strong gusts of wind that accompany a rainstorm. Hence "raining cats and dogs'' meansa heavy rain with wind.?CourierJournal. Where Wolf Hunting Pays. The wolf-farming industry around Galena, 111., received a big impetus at the last meeting of the County Board, which placed a bounty of ten dollars on old wolves and five dollars on whelps.

BCjtr-y jsi MAURITIUS. THE STORM SWEPT ISLAND IN THE INDIAN OCEAN. Peqplert by Representatives of All Races. Lanxuaeep, Religions and Customs?Remarkable For Its Beauty. Now that the whole world is seeking information about the island of Mauritius, it is surprising to find out how little is really known of it. It is one of the most important islands in the British possessions. It is visited daily by menof-war, sailing vessels and tramp steamers from all parts of the world. Its name and its beauties have been made famous by the glowing descriptions of Bernardin St. Pierre in his "Paul and Virginia." Mauritius, or the Isle of France, is an island belonging to Great Britain, lying in the Indian Ocean, about 460 miles east of Madagascar and 2327 miles from Cape of Good Hope. It is thirty-six miles long and thirty-two miles wide, and has an area of 676 square miles. But Mauritius has never been visited much by the tourist and the descriptive PORT LOCI3, ' writer. It has the same charms as other I tropical islands which are more easily j and more comfortably reached. So, | aside from dry consular reports and fras menrary observation that Mauritius is a gem and that .Mauritius ia a queer little island, there is not much material to put into a picture that will show the readers of the Sun what manner of beauty and strange aspect of human life it was that the hurricane swept down upon and blighted. It is known that Mauritius, discovered in the early years of the sixteenth century, le now inhabited by the most conglomerate population on the face of the earth. Europeans of three nationalities, English, French and Dutch, are there in considerable numbers, and Europeans of all nationalities in smaller numbers. Negroes and Mozambiques and Madagascans have come over from the west; Parsees, Arabs, Cingalese, Chinamen, Lascars and Malays have come down from the northeast. The result is a commingling of breeds and languages, religions and costumes, that makes the dirty streets of the queer cities of the islnnd full of sights, sounds, faces. costumes and wares to inspire amazement and confusion. Everything is jumbled together, religions as well as languages and breeds, until nothing can be put in exactly its proper place. Although Mauritius is rich and fertile, it is hardly developed at all. ' For eight month9 of the year the sun shines down upon the island day after day, with brief intervals of terrific rains, whose beating only a rank tropical vegetation can survive. The heat is intense and, when the wind is in certain quarters, poisonous. For instance, in the three years of 1886, 1867 and 1868, 73,000 persons died of fevers of various kinds. f7 Ch;*' V'cQj g|" C7 J? J ttuiun \ yfWJ? \ CAPE jblMTt, \cOlQHYjT tUO/AN ^camo/COCO *qft 0CEAN WHERE MAURIT'CS IS. But ia the four summer mouths, or winter month3 as they are in the Southern himisphere, the climate is cool and delightful. The people, except the pure-blooded Europeans and the Chinese who have not been there too many years, are lazy, shiftless and sensual. Food is easily got, and no more work is done than is absolutely necessary. All the energy of the British' officials will not drive the scavengers to clean the streets often enough to prevent rank smells from loading the air of the cities. The island slopes from coast side upward toward tViroa ir>mint?in phftins tvhir.h rrn<5S the interior. Violent rains snd wind storms are frequent. The bushes, vines and flowers are beaten to the earth to rise again in a few days as though nothing had happened. Mountains lie exposed on the eastward side to the full sweep of the great storm winds of the Indian Ocean. Outside of the cities there is little building that is more than temporary. Several times in a century the hurricanes come and raze the whole island except the cities and the deep valleys. With *each hurricnne many natives are killei, because of tbe weak shelter their houses afford a?ain?t tbe flying tree trunks and stones, and against the fierce wind that can uproot the most firmly planted foundations. But nevor before has such a wind a9 this last come out of the depths of the Indian Octati. It. must have attacked the cities and overthrown them, as well as the houses seat?', red on the plantations and the hillsides eM through the island. It must have left t?xr places where shcl" ter from violence could be found, and, 110 doubt, very few cseapod injury of some kind. "When it is considered that the population is only 300,000, the reported death roll of 15,000 shows how enormous the destruction was. Yet, no matter how great the ruin, before the fastest steamer could reach Mauritius from London or New York, the last trace of destruction would be obliterated and the remaining people of the island would be found sunk in the tropical apathy. MAP OF MAUBITrUS. The inhabitants must have bad warning of the storm that was coming, as they have had warnings of the three other hurricanes that have rushed upon MAURITIUS. thum since the opening of the century. On one of the coasts of the island stands a great block of black basalt, rising forty feet above the sea which surrounds it on all sides. It is bored from its sum rait down to the waves with a circular hole. When the waves are rushing in, warning Mauritius that a storm is bearing down that way,the water rushes into > this cavity,is sucked upward,and thrown high in the air in a column of spray. And the rumbling of the Sonffleur,as the rock is called, may be heard maoy miles away. Also, when the hurricane is coming, the people of Purt Louis may look away to the mountains and see little | white clouds darting round and round the tops, while a coppery tinge over' spreads the whole sky. mj in B fi THE THEATRE AT POET LOUI8. As the island is almost surrounded by coral reefs, the waves that a great wind lashed up are thrown in the air to great heights, and the noise is so loud that, combined with the roar of the wind, it makes the thunder seem faint and far away. As one remembers these things and reads of the darkness and the dashes of lightning and the ships lifted in air ?p?n/1oF /m- Klnmn far iin on QUU A CU U OOUUUWl Vi M*W n U shore, one realizes what a spectacle this storm must have been.?New York Sun. Superstition Anions Birds. Now that the breeding Beason for birds is ooming near, it would be interesting to note if the following sight I siw last spring is common to swans, says a writer in Nature: A puirof swans built on an island on the river Wey, which runs through our grounds, and I stood on the bank opposite and watched for a view of the cygnets which were ju9t hatched out. The male bird presently picked up an empty half eggshell lying beside the nest, and carefully carried it to the edge of the water, some twenty feet from where the nest was built, proceeded to fill it with mud, and then push it into rhA ritr?r. whtre it sank to tLie bottom. He then brought the other only remain! ing piece of shell and did the same. On returning to his nest the last time, he placed a few sticks across the small track he had made, as it to conceal his actions. Evidently the process had been done to each fiece of shell as no other pieces were to be seen, although five cygnets were hatched out. A Dock of a Potato. This isn't the picture of a duck, but of a big sweet potato that looks very like a duck. If this potato would float it would jjjj^ | make a very good dccoy for ducks, but ir is a little too heavy, weighing something over two pounds by the accurate scales in the Republic's editorial :ooms. This extraordinary potato was raised ia Jcffersou County, Mo., some four miles from Festus, aad was forwarded to the ! Republic's Museum of Natural Cariosities | by S. T.

From a criminal stock not much else but criminals can be expected to spring. And that tbis is so has been I proven tune and ajain by the family history of criminals. But there are other factors that can be counted upon jur.t as Eurely, though they ope'ate with less frequency. Habitual drunkenness on the part of the parent# is pretty sure to result ia menial or moral degeneracy. ?New York Hcraift ; ?> h A Tiny Cralt to Cross the Atlantic. Captain William A. Andrews, of Boston, is constructing a boat iu which bf intends to cross the ocean. It will b> the smallest craft that has been built fr?r CAPTAIN WILLIAM A. ANDBKWB. a transatlantic voyage, 14^ feet in ienglD, O leei UCUUI, ouu nrm UHIJ UV> more than fifteen square yards of sail. The new boat is named the Flying Dutchman, and is six inches shorter than the Nautilus, in which Captain Andrews made the voyage in 1878. Captain Andrews is a Yankee and a piano-maker by trade. He is a tall, athletic-looking man, of light complexion, and is forty-nine years old. His hobby is what he calls 4'deep-sea boating," and he is a mine of information upon that subject. The Flying Dutchman fore and aft tapers to a point, and resembles very much a gunner's sneak-box,being decked all over with half-inch cedar. The sides, and bottom arc also made of this thin material and the whole is covered with canvass, drawn as tight as a drum head, oiled and painted. It can be folded like a canvas gunning skiff. During his three former trips Captain , Andrews found that his wood-bottom crafts had become heavily weighted with barnacles and seaweed, which gTeatly hampered progress. He claim? of the new boat that the canvas will avert this trouble. THE FLYING DUTCHMAN. The deck is on the -whale-back plan. There is an opening?or cockpit, in nautical vernacular?3x5 feet, in which there is just room enough for a person to sit comfortably. Under the decks are compartments in which the provisions are to be stored. The mast rises eight feet above the deck and the boom ia toa* TVio rraff will be ten feet liUil l(V?U IVA/ti *uw " ? and tbe total sail carried will be less than fifteen square yards. Three hundred pounds of lead will be securely fastened to the bottom, and it will be almost impossible for it to capsize. Should such an accident happen, however, it will right without assistance. There are no water-tight or air-tight compartments. Little danger is expected from high "seas, and should the hold fill with water it will not damage the food supplies, as they will consist altogether of canned goods and preserves in sealed jars. Captain Andrews thinks it will take about forty days to cross tbe Dig pona. He will head lor Queenstown, but he is likely to make harbor at the first land he may sight. It is his intention to return with the Flying Dutchman by steamer, and have the boat exhibited at the World's Fair.?New York World. Tbe Glass Snake. The so-called glass snake does not break to pieces at the sight of an enemy, as is commonly supposed, but, like some lizards, throws off its tail in an effort to escape. There are several lizards which, when attacked, for instance, by a bird or predacious animal, will throw off their tails, and the tail flopping up and down on the ground diverts the enemy and thus gives toe nzara time 10 escape. The glass snake adopts the same trick, and thus frequently saves itself. It is true, however, that the joints of this singular creature are so loosely connected that the snake will be broken to pieces by a blow of a stick, though the idea of a reunion of the broken parts ie a superstitious absudity. The broken joints do not reunite, though a new tail will grow in a few months if the reptile has received no other injury.?St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ltoses That Drink Blood.

Oor Special Reporter Hpcarcn the Factn HE DETERMINED TO THOROUGHLY INVESTI GATE A SUBJECT THAT IS CAUSING MUC/ COMMENT, AND HE HAS SUCCEEDED. (<V. Y. Sun.) Two uays ago one of the most prominent professional men in New York published i letter so outspoken, so unusual as to caus* extensive talk and awaken much comment Yesterday I interviewed thegentleman as tc the contents of the letter, and he fullv confirmed it in every respect. He not only die this but he also 'mentioned a number of un usual cases which had come under his obser vation in which little less than a miracle ha<! been performed. So important has the entire subject becomt that I determintd to investigate it to tb? bottom, and accordingly called upon Mr. Albert G. Eaves, the prominent costumer al No. 63 East Twelfth street, the gentlemai mentioned in my interview with the doctoi yesterday. Mr. Eaves has made quite e name. A complete knowledge of history, at appreciation of art and reliability are essen tial in his profession. "Mr. Eaves," I said, "I learn that youi wife has had a most unusual experience; ar< you willing to describe itf' The gentleman thought a moment and at expression of pleasure passed over his face "When I think." he said, "of what my wiN once passed through and the coadition she h in to-day, I cannot but feel gratitude. Nearlj three years ago she was at the point ol death. You can understand how sick she was when I say she was totally blind and laj in a state of unconsciousness. Three docton attended her and all agreed that her death was nnly a question of hours, perhaps minutes." "May I ask what the doctors called hei trouble^' "Uraemia and puerperal convulsions, sc you can imagine how badly she must have been. At last one doctor (It was Dr. E. A. Gunn) said that as she was still able to swallow, one more attempt might be made, and a medicine was accordingly given her. She seemed to improve at once; in a few days hei sight was restored. *1 have had a long, long i sleep,' she said, upon recovering consciousness, and 1 am rejoiced to say that she was restored to perfect health wholly through the use of Warner's Safe Cure, which was the remedy we administered when she was past all consciousness." I looked at Mr. Eaves as he said this. His face was beaming with satisfaction. He oontinued: The physicians told us, after my wife's recovery, that she could never endure childbirth, and yet we have a floe boy nearly a fear old, pnd do not know what sickness is. attribu It; to the wonderful power of Warner's Safe Cure. Why, my sister, who resides in Virginia, was, a while ago, afflicted precisely as my wife had been. I at once advised ber to use this same great remedy; it cured her promptly." "You find that it is especially adapted for women, do you?" I inquired. "By no means. I have known it to be wonderful in its power in the case of gentlemen to whom I have recommended it. I speak from my experience entirely,and you should not be surprised that 1 am so arm a believer in this discovery, which has done so much for me." 1 was not surprised. I saw by every word, by every look, that Mr. Eaves meant all he said. I had ample confirmation of Dr. Gunns letter and interview, and I do not wonder that people who have seen sucb things, who have watched their dearest friends go down into the dark vailey and be brought back into the light, should be both enthusiastic and grateful. I. myself, caught the spirit, and I shall be glad if t ie investigations I have made prove of profit to those who may read them. . How Nubar Pasha Lost His Watch. On the occasion of the Empress Eugenie's visit to Cairo in 1869 Nubar Pasha was presented by Napoleon III. with a valuable watch richly set with diamonds. This watch he was in the habit of laying before him on the table during the meetings of the council, which were generally held in the evening. A( one of the sittings the electric light suddenly went out. When it was turned on again Nubar's watch had disappeared. The Pasha scrutinized the faces of hit colleagues one after the other, says the National Zeitung, but not one winced under his gaze. At leDgth Jie said: "Gentlemen, the watch that, according to my custom, I had laying here before me has been removed. The door u loeked on the inside, nobody has entered the room in the meantime and nobody has gone out. I attribute the loss of the watch to a bad joke or a fit of abstrac tion on the part of one of you gentlemen. I will now turn out the light once more, feeling convinced that when it is turned on again the watch will be found in its usual place." The light was then put out. When it shone brightly a minute later, not only was the place where the watch had lain still vacant, but Nubar's bejeweled inkstand, a present from Victor Emmanuel, had also vanished 1 Nubar Pasha never saw these articles again.
