of his stomach by eating a full peck of
carrots and seven bars of soap with apparent

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

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

"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. As a
result the county has spent $500 for
wolf scalps in the last two months. One
individual brought the scalps of twentyt-Ko

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.

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.

As the island is almost surrounded by
coral reefs, the waves that a great wind
lashed up are thrown in the air to great

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.

The influence ot heredity is probably
the most important factor in the making
of criminals. From a criminal stock not
much else but criminals can be expected
to spring. And that tbis is so has been

other factors that can be counted upon

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

A PROFITABLE TALK.
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.

relief?but you want mors

this Remedy ? there's a cure that
is perfect and permanent. The
worst chronic cases, no matter of
how long standing, yield to ita
mild, soothing, cleansing and heal*
ing properties. " Cold in the Head "
needs but a few applications. Catarrhal
Headache, and all tho
troubles that come from Catarrh,
are at once relieved and cured.

The proprietors of Dr. 8age*?

They'll pav you, if they can't
cure you. That's certain.
But they can cure you. That'*
just about as certain, too.
