Little lias been writ ton about thi- brilliant and merciless leader of tia banditti ol' the north country, hui Iris narnu is a household ?Word throughout all the ni?tes. ' ,F??r years the a llioritics of Texas nnd Mexico had pursued this leader. At. last he was arrested on the Ameri can side of the line. F.niotcrlo de la Garza, then n young man, but later a man high ia the conn ILLEDOZA FELL AT THU LAWYERS FEET. sols of the Mexican government, was called to defend Illedoza. Do la Garza Iliad been in Texas adjusting a ship ping dispute and while there agreed to defend the bhudlt. Hut there waa no ?hope for acquittal, and on the night .before the trial was to take place some one bribed the guards-many nay Do la Garza-and Illedoza escaped. Eruotorio do la Garza, the able young Spanish lawyer, completed his other task and received $10,000 In American ?gold. It wns a long distance to bis home in Monterey, and $10,000 In ?old iwos an unsafe burden. There were no railroads, and the only routes to tho 'Mexican city were through the rough country, which swarmed with banditti. For several days De la Garza puzzled his brain to find a means of conveying ?the gold to Monterey. Ile nt last de cided to risk the dangerB of the jour ney, but upon the afternoon of the day .before be was to start be saw a man in Mexican garb several times before his window and then disappear. At night the face of the Mexican ap peared at thc window. An Instant later the door flew open, aud Illedoza, dis guised, flashed into the room and locked the door behind him. "Senor," he said, "do not tell me what worries you. I know that you have In this house $10,000 In American gold, a handsome prize for thc best of the banditti. 1 believe you are foolish enough to undertake the trip to Monte rey. You will die If you do. Every member of the Rio Grande robbers from Point Isabel to Fl Paso knows you have the money, and every road to Monterey is guarded. "The gold ls not yours. Senor de la Garza. You hold lt In trust. If you are robbed and your Ufo is spared, you would be disgraced at the end of the journey. You saved ray Ufo by turning me free. 1 owe you a debt of gratitude. I will take the gold to Monterey. At ll o'clock tonight I shall be here. Re sure you deliver tho money to nobody else." At tho appointed hour the young law yer heard a faint scratching at the rear door. Before lie could reach it In stepped a man in rags anti tatters. Ills face appeared bloated nnd haggard. Tho peaked Spanish bat was missing. He did not wear his deerskin clothing or tho Haring red sash that brands the banditti. "There is no limo to waste. Trust mo to repay the debt of gratitude I owe you or you will surely never see Monterey again.'' When certain tia? man was Illedoza, De la Garza banded over the gold. Juan held it a moment, then laid lt down. "liofore I go I must impose upon you several conditions. You saved my life, senor, and when 1 deliver this gold and give you the receipt we are even.

An exchange quotes a distin guished entomologist as Baying that a eingle female fly will lay. 120 e 'g.? during her lifo of from ten ta ii teen days und that of these ninety; or a hundred will produce other flies. During a summer twelve or thirteen generations of these fliea will bo produced, so that millions in cue season may bo tho descendante of a single fly. '.Millions'' is a feeble word to ex press thc number that would be produced under tiii.s est?mate. Put ting thc ?iret generation at 100 and allowing that half ?d' them are fe males. Lin,? second generation would j number 5,000, with 2,500 females. The third generation would number ; ??50,000, thc fourth 1,250,000 and | the Jiftli (?2,500,000. Continuing thc calculation on thc same system to the twelfth generation, we should get a grand total ot' 4,882,812,500, 000,000,000, or, expressed in words, four quintillions, eight hundred and eighty-two quadrillions, eight hun dred and twelve trillion.-;, live hun dred billions, a number quite incon ceivable.

Sup pose a person be so tired cut by overwork of any kind as to feel nervous, Irritable and worn, to be absolutely certain that bed means only tossing for hours in an unhap py wakefulness (we all know this condition of tho body and mind), turn on the hot water in the bath room and Boak in the hot bath until the drowsy feeling comes, which will be within three minutes; turn on cold water until it becomes tepid; then rub yourself with a coarse Turkish towel until the body is per fectly dry and then go to bed. You will sleep the sleep of the just and rise in tho morning wondering how you could have felt so bad the night before. Thc bath has saved man}' a ono from a sleepless night if not from a scvere headache the next morning. Why lt Wac a Necessity.

The Earth's Motion. That the earth's motion has an appreciable effect upon artillery fire, deflecting thc projectile from a straight course, may be news to many and as such would probably faeem a novel notion. It has, and the exact nature and cxtcntof tho ef fect are important points of study with artillery experts. An English army expert told of the resulta of many interesting experiments along this linc in a paper read before the Royal Artillery institution. 1'iring from north to south, there is a di- j vergence of projectiles to thc loft, ! duo to thc earth's rotation, and fir ing il no north the divergence is to thc right. The extent of the "pull" varies at diff?rent points of the earth's surface and with projectiles fired at different speeds and eleva tions. Tn England a deflection of five inches is found to occur with the projectile of a twelve pounder in a -1,U00 yard range. Imitation Not Flattery. Once upon a time Ibero was a fashionable woman who Lad her portrait painted by a clever and conscientious artist, who lacked worldly wisdom, but who made a re markably correct likeness of her. "Horrid!" exclaimed thc woman when she saw tho completed picture. "Just, sec those wrinkles, and then you have made it look a dozen years olde.: than I am."

Still he was an honest man, and so after a momentary struggle with his conscience he replied hon estly : "I could have told you just about the time you found it out yourself." -Chicago Post. Pin Money. Among the presents formerly of fered as New Year's gifts were pins, which were first made in the carly part of thc sixteenth century. How ever trilling such gifts might now appear, it was then highly valued, as previous to the invention of pins clumsy wooden skewers were in use for fastening garments. In this manner arose the term "pin money" in marriage settlements, the bride stipulating for or the groom volun tarily conceding a certain annual al lowance with which to purchase what was then deemed a luxury. In time tho term came to be ap plied in the more extended sense to signify any sum over which the wife shall have absolute* control, inde pendent of her husband. Though no longer used in legal instruments, the term is still retained colloquial ly as denoting a stipulated sum for thc wife's private use. Restraining the Beard by Law. In the reign of "good Queen Bess" an attempt was made by some of the heads of Lincoln's Inn to restrain the growth of tho legal beard. It was resolved that "no fellow of that house should wear a beard of above a fortnight's growth," which no fel low, was likely to do if he consulted his own comfort. Although, as we read in the "Percy Anecdotes," transgressions of this resolution were punished with fine, loss of commons and final expulsion, such waa the vigorous resistance to the tyrannical order that in the follow ing year all previous orders respect ing beards were repealed.-English Magazine.

"Owing to a railroad smashup I got left in a little Nebraska town one night/' said the drummer, ac- | cordi.ig to the Detroit Free Press. "It was a wretched town and a still worse hotel. My room was small, and the bcd was as hard as a board. I got up feeling mad, and after a i miserable breakfast I was ready to 1 boil over. Thc boiling caine when ? the landlord presented me wi*Lh a j bill for $4. "Ts this correct?' I asked as I looked at the ligures. " 'Entirely so,' he replied.

He then made a charge against me, one of the other brothers tcsti iicd as to my language, and his honor fined me $10. As thc third brother hadn't taken any part, I turned to him and sarcastically asked : "'Where do vou come in?' "'Me?' he replied. 'Oh, Pm the town marshal, and as you are evi dently a desperate character I shall lock you up l'or a couple of days and then run you out of town/ "It was a nico little family trust, you sec,"' smiled the drummer, "and I couldn't beat it.

In the museum of natural history at Soleure, Switzerland, there perhaps thc most extraordinary bird's nest in existence. It is made entirely of steel. In Soleure arc many clockmak i ers' shops, and in the yards of these shops broken clock springs are often, thrown. A clockmaker one day saw : in a tree in his yard a peculiar kind of nest and upon f urther investiga tion discovered that a pair cf wag tails had utilized the unused bits of steel lying about and built a home entirely of clock springs. In size it measured more than four inchc3 across, and it was ap parently as comfortable for its in mates as if the usual materials had been employed. After thc brood had been reared the deserted nest was taken to the museum, where it is now exhibited, a striking illustra tion of the skill and ingenuity of birds in turning their surroundings to advantage. Quick Courtship. A young servant girl asked leave to attend a friend's funeral. Her mistress put herself to some incon venience to allow her to go. On her return, much to the lady^s surprise, she gave a month's notice, and when asked the reason for so doing replied : "Well, ma'am, to tell the real truth, the corpse's husband said I was the life and soul of the whole party, and I'm engsged to be mar ried to him."
