TfcU I (he Pretlr l.rKonil That la Re- sponsible for the Michigan Tunn'i Name. Tho name of Knlnmnzoo, llko Osh kosli mid one or two others, has como to bo to foreigners n aynonyni of Amcrlnnn absurdity. It In often chos en, for Rome occult renBon, to Illustrate that form of toriineuliir English known ns "United States." Hub nil thought of ridicule vanishes when Its romantic origin is considered, for it Is the echo tlll lingering about tho memory of two dimity lover, who, in that long-gone time ulicn Michigan was the home mainly of Indian tribes, lived and loved on the hunks of tho river which now beam their names. Kahla, tho young wurrlor, wns straight of limb and eagle-eyed, while llahzoo had been given by the Urcnt Spirit tho many grnces nnd virtues for "which Indian maidens have become noted in song and legend. Life to these two possessed nil tho charms which truo a fleet Ion has ever granted to lovers, nnd the days, as they came and went, brought only abounding joy. Knch summer evening, ns the twi light deepened and tho time drew nenr for her lover's return from the chase, the mnldon watched from her bower in tho swaying brunches of a glnnt elm overhanging the river's edge for the first sign of his coming. As the bow of Ids canoe shot round the curve away in tho distance her clear musical voice ailed to hlra: Kahlal Kahla!" and from tho young warrior came in loving .tones tho response: "Mahzool" MASONS IN THE WAR. Rotes' for Their Interne Patriotism Many of Them Knllat and Lodge Are Formed. A largo proportion of tho soldiers who hnvo'gone or aro making ready to go to tho war arc masons, an order universally noted for, its intense pa triotism, says the Chicago Chronicle. The "lodge" has been mude to cover a multitude of small sins by those who seeded a convenient excuse to be ab sent from home, but all true masons aro none the less strongly attached to it. The question has been asked what wnsonlo soldiers do in lieu of lodge mdetingB. 1 "They don't do without them," snid Secretary Laften, of the Wisconsin grand lodge of masons, recently, when approached on the subject. "Why, dur ing our Inst war they had masonic lodges in the nrmy. Some of the grand lodges granted dispensations for tho rganlcatlon of lodges. "If the nrmy was near a city they rented halls for meetings. If they wore not near nny cly they held their sessions in an officer's tent. Officers of the nrmy in many cases were mem ber of the masonio fraternity, and it was an easy thing to have the tent in which the meeting was held sufficient ly protected from intrusion. Guards were posted and no one wns allowed within hearing distance unless they ould pass tho guard, who of course was a maBon selected for the occasion." POUNDED THE DOQ TO DEATH. How a Monkey Mude Good Die of a Dili Kike a Policeman's Club. "The most novel fight I ever wit ncsHcd," remarked a traveler to a writer for tho Cincinnati Enquirer, "was between a bulldog nnd nraonkoy, down In Cuba. A friend of mlno hod a bulldog that had licked every canlno on tho island, nnd ho was very proud of him. A gentleman from Month America said that ho had n monkey that could whip tho bulldog and tho owner of the latter laughed nt tho idea. After some tnlkn wngcr of tlvo hundred dollars was mndo nnd tho only ndvnn tago that tho monkey was to have was that ho was to be allowed tho privilego of using a baton, about tho length of a policeman's club, but not bo heavy. Tho light was in a public place, and in a pit that was surrounded by an iron grating. Thcro was a big crowd out to sco tho tight. Of courso everybody thought tho dog would chew up tho monkey. After a few minutes, how over, tho audience wan surprised at the sagacity displayed by the monkey. Tho bulldog would make a rush at tho monkey, nnd tho latter would jump asldo nnd allow tho bulldog to hit his head against tho iron gratings. This was kept up for twenty minutes or moro, and then tho dog be gan to got tired. Tho monkey began to fight.

This was kept up for nn hour or moro, nnd finally tho dog fell on tho floor completely exhausted, and tho monkey actually pounded him to death. Tho monkey would strllco tho dog sev eral blows and then plnco his car to tho canino to seo if ho still breathed. Finally tho owner of the dog agreed to glvo up tho fight, but tho owner of tho monkey told him that ho was too Into, ns tho monkey would not quit until ho had killed the dog. This was one of tho peculiarities of tho monkey. They always kill their victims. Tho owner of tho dog said ho did not wnnt his dog killed, and insisted on taking tho monkey off. While 'hoy wcro talk ing tho monkey belted tho dog several times with his baton, placed, his enr ou the dog, and with a sudden jump leaped on tho shoulder of his ownor and commenced to uso monkey lan guage.

The Moat Skilled Are Unable to Find Their Way to Protect Ocean Lin era from nianater. The cleverest marine architects have keen unablo to devise a scheme to pro tect the stoutest single screw liners, hit lard amidships or thereabouts, from disaster. Every Bteamship that has keen struck far from kind by even so modest a craft as a coal laden schooner has gone down, sometimes without the loss of a soul, ns was tho case of the Oregon, oft Fire Island, on March 14, 1800, and sometimes with more than three-quarters of all on board, says the New York Sun. The Vllle du Havre, of the French line, was run down almost in the same way as La Bourgogne met disaster. The iron British ship Loch Enrn hit the Vllle du Havre in a fog in mldoeean ou November 23, 1B73, almost cutting her in two. She foundered, and only 230 otft f 317 persons aboard were saved. The steamship Goiscr, of the Thlngvalla line, was hit, off Sable island in a fog on AugUBt 13, 1888, by theThlngralln, a sister ship, nnd 73 passengers and 33 of her crew were lost. The North German Lloyd steamship Elbe foundered in the North sea after being rammed by tho little British steamship Crnthle on January 30. 1805. Only tho steamships that collide head on have hope of salvation. They aro protected by the collision bulk lends. A blow astern or at any point just forward or abaft midships is usu ally mortal. Balance Effects Wonders. According to Natural Science, Dr, Olsen, of Norway, has learned by atudying habits of microbes, to make cheese backward, ne keeps a stock f tho microbes of vnrious cheeses, and out of a bowl of milk makes Gorgon eels, StUton or ,Cnmembert, as re quired. This threatens a serious blow to the British farmer, for it is obvious that Br. Olsen has only to follow the tracks of his microbes a little further "back to produce the milk that makes the cheese and the cow that makes the milk. Then be British farmer will sit idly on n gate watching Dr. Olsen with a cage full of microbes turning n field of grass into choice Bhorthorns and Iderneys. lion tho Supremo Court J act gel front One llooin to Another.

It is worth while, according to tho Washington Post, to mako a trip to tho building Just boforo twolvo o'clock ovory day to witness it Tho room in which tho supremo court justices adorn them selves with their flowing silk robes is just ncross tho hall from tho chamber in which tho court meets. Hitherto a few moments boforo noon tho door of the nttirlng-room would open and forthwith would emergo tho solemn justices. On ono side of tho corridor which by tno way, is tno mam passage way through tho capitol would stand a court official and another man would bo stationed on the opposite sido. Bo tweon this guard tho justices would walk and a moment later would disap pear behind tho heavy door of tho en trance to tho private corridor to tho bench.

Without warning tho men were almost blinded by a sheet of flame, which enveloped tho ship from stem to stern, and reached half way up tho masts.

F.V.TAYLOR, DEALER IN Scrofula to Consumption. Any one predisposed to Scrofula can never be healthy and vigorous. This taint in tho blood naturally drifts into Consumption. Being such a deep-seated blood disease, Swift's Specific is the only known curo for Scrofula, bocauso it is tho only remedy which can reach tho disease. Scrofula appeared on the head of my little grandchild when only 18 months old. Shortly after breaking oat It spread rapidly all over her body. The scabs on the sores would peel oft on the slightest touch, and the odor that would arise maue tno at mosphere of tho room sickening and unbearable. Tho disease next attacked the ayes, and we feared she would lose her sight. Em inent physicians from the surrounding country were consulted, but could do nothing to relieve the lit tle Innocent, and gave it as their opinion that the case was hopeless and im possible to save the child's eyesight. It was then that we decided to try Swift's Speclflo. That medicine at once made a speedy and com plete cure. 6he Is now a young lady, and has never had a sign of the disease to return. Mas.
