The Jardn dea I rfantes Was founded In 1638 by Guy da la Erosse, physician to Louis XIII. and was originally nothing more than a collection of medicinal herbs. The celebrated Buff on f M appointed director of tha Jardin du r ftol, . as it come to be called In 1T3B. and he "attended Its sphere by founding co'lectlon In every department of natural history. In 1728. tha royal menagerie was transferred - to It, and In 1794 the library. : JCotro Dame, on the lie da la Cit. the famous walls of which havo been washed by many floods, was founded In 11S3 on the site f. a church of tha fourth century and "was consecrated In 1182. but the nave was rliot completed until the thirteenth century. 'Tha foundation stone waa laid by Pops Alexander J II. at that time a refugee In i Franc, In 17SS Norte Dame was converted tnto tha temple of reason.

She tried to pctur what things looked like now, somewhat as they used to look when overwhelmed by a sudden, heavy shower. Then the streets, lively and ani mated a "moment before, would become suddenly empty; only a few reckless be ings ventured out. mn turning up the edges of their trousers, and women lifting their skirts so as to show their petticoats. The large tree shook their wet branches, sending heavy drops down on the umbrellas when a gust of wind passed by; a few cab hurrying by, closed and dreary look ing; the taxlrabs raring at a greater speed than usual, aa .though they felt It was no time to flaner. Pari easily recovered after a short shower. In a few seconds .the pavements are dry, and the army of light colored Cjlothea is again parading in the sunshine; but how must It be when th rain lasts for day and daya and when the streets are Inundated by a muddy, yellow water? New York Poet. w QUEEREST BET ON RECORD Freak Wauger that Waa Settle Fit ter Yeara After It Was Made. "Th queerest bet I ever saw made, or ever heard of, for that matter," said a collar-and-cuff drummer to a casual ac quaintance, "waa In Amsterdam, N. Y., in 1S7J. If I'm not mistaken. I have been traveling around som since then, and have heard som tall stories, but none of them over hit me so hard as this one, "That waa one lively little town twenty flv years ago, if you knew the bunch. I had been going there every few weeks for a year or. more, and I knew them. By th bunch I mean John D. Servla, then an Insurance agent and regarded as tha wittiest man In that part Of th state; Dave' Manney, a restaurant keeper. and alwaya up to som Jok. and 'Billy Arnold, ! an all-round sport, .who kept th Arnold house, where we always used. to stop. " 'Billy Arnold's place was a good -deal Ilk th old Hotel Metropole In New York. His safe was usually half full of money held on bets. And he was always the refer and court of" last resort. When only Arnoia pulled out his little red book and ran hla finger down the page aoirebody was going to be paid off. And his decisions were as square aa they made em. 'On night John D. Servis and Dave,' Manney had been in the office of th lat-ter-s restaurant until It was time to close up, talking over matters and thlnga When Manney closed up shop th two of tnem strolled down th street, feelin at Pc with th world and tn a mood to start somehtlng. They got down opposite in catnoiio church, which was bulldlna- Just about that Urn Servis had an Idas. Dave.' h says. IU bet you drinks and cigars for everybody at th Arnold hous that when that church steeple falls tt wUl fall to th vast. "You're on,' says Dave, never battlna- J aye. 'I bet it fails to the west And well go up to BUly Arnold's now and hav th drinks. Let's make it as many rounds and as many cigars as the crowd wsnt." " 1 don't car if Arnold doesn't.' aava Servis. 'So th two of them turned around and went back to th Arnold was a suable crowd In th cafe, and th word was passed around at once that Manney and SerVs wer then with on of their bright Ideas. I was ther. and a I remember It, Servis did most of the talking. 'BUly,' he says to Arnold, who came promptly forward when h heard ther was a bet to dec ids, Tm got a Iittl wager on her with Dave, and th stake Is drinks and clrars for th aVYtWrl aaax much aa they Ilka Set 'em up all around and when w hav had our drinks a K ant jrou to settle th bet' Arnold sat up the best in the, hous liberally. Ther were several rounda and a lot of cigars handed out. Then Arnold pulled out his tittle red book and prepared to get down the terms of th bet tn black and white befor deciding It. 'Dav bets th new Cat nolle church ateeplo will fail to th west, when It falls. I bet it will fall to the west, when It falls.' say Servta 'Now. when It falls we want you to decide th bet.' Way, is that new steeple going to falir says Arnold, sort of bewildered. "Not that w know of.' says Servis, and th whol lot of us went out laugh ing at Arnold, who must hav been In' th whol t3orm "Well, everybody Joshed Arnold about tt for. a little while and then forgot aU about it. After a while he sold out th hotel and started In th carpet business. John D. Servis left town later and went to Albany. I don't know what business he was In. Manney still stayed th pro prietor of Manney'a Amsterdam restaurant. And th yeara went by- . "But one night, late in th ighttea, ther waa a big wind hit Amsterdam. It blew lik blab-a. 'Billy Arnold waa horn in bed asleep. Th nols of th storm awak ened hint and h want to th window. Somebody was going by underneath and he called to him to ask if the wind was doing any damage. " "Oh, nothing much.' answered the man. 'But It Just blew down th steeple of th Catholic church.' "Arnold went back and. put on hla clothes without saying a word. He g out his little red book and figured up th amount of th bill with compound Interest. Then he hiked- It out into th wind and storm for th church. True enough ther lay th steeple. It t4, fallen plumb to the east. "That was about t o'clock In th morn ing, But Arnold had been waiting a long time and he was in a hurry. He went right down to th station and took the first morning train for Albany, went right to Strvtss house and presented his bill. They say Servis gave him bis check before breakfast. At any rate 'Billy Arnold took the next train back for Amsterdam. lie laughed all tbe way back. 'When h got off at Amsterdam the station agent asked him what he was laughing at " "Dave Manney and John D. Servis played a joke on me f.fteen years ago,' aays Arnold, 'and I've Just seen the point. " New York Press. EYE WITNESSES NOT RELIABLE NotpI Test la rsyrbaloa-y (iau Shows Wide Vnrlatloa la Tee tlmBJ7. 3rrie li.r.e asi. Prof. McKcvor of the Kansas Ftata Agricultural college per formed an interesting experiment before a psjcholojy class in which he staged a "hold-up" In his classroom and afterward took testimony on the autject. The object was to f.st the reliability cf eye witnesses. Prof. McKeever selected three young men to stag the hold-up and had them practice their parta in hla offlc. He also made note of the'r personal appearance. They were Instructed exactly what to do and what to say. All of these things were placed In a notbock in order that the testimony rn:ght be compared with the facts. The class in psychology had Just assem bled, when In rushed Jones, who whirled about and pointed a wrench at his pursuers and exclaimed: 'Stay back or I'll ahoot!" Turning, he ran across the room and dropped to his knees, letting fall a small bag which he earned, layipg:' -There, take it," and ran out of the room. II was closely followed by Smith and White. Smitij yelled: "Give It up. you scoundrel!" and grabbed the bag and ran out behind the other two. White cam in carrying a small revolver with the cylinder removed, yelling: "Take It from him, Eddie! He won't hurt you!" The play lasted only a few seconds snd Prof. Keever appeared very much agi tated, but when the affair waa over he told them tha object of tha test and asked each member of the class to write an account of what happened. The testimony regarding the conduct of Jonea varied greatly. Following ar som of th accounts. Pointed his finger at Smith and ' saldi "Get o:t of here, Ed." The whole class was paralysed with fear. He pointed a revolver. Pointed an Imaginary pistol. Pointed a heavy object at th others as he went out. Held a revolver tn his hand. (Witness recognised Jones.) Had something lik a revolver. Jones wore a mask. The testimony regarding Smith's conduct would have been particularly damaging In a criminal case. Although he waa not armed In any manner or carried anything in his hands, yet two testified that he car ried a revolver in his hands and snapped it several times, while a third credited him with saying: "Stop, or I'll shoot," at th same time aiming at Jona - Whit was scarcely noticed. One witness testified that he carried a club of some kind, but no one mentioned th fact that h carried a revolver . with th syllnder removed. Whit, who was armed, was not noticed, and Smith, who had nothing at all in his . hands, was accused by thre ey-wltnesss of carrying a revolver .Kan sas City Star. OUillA LlVE STOCS.

' Curari, the vegetable poison with whioh the Indians of th Upper Amazon tip their hunting arrows, remains a mystery tn its composition after 100 years of investigation by scientists. Th Indians will sell it for Its weight In silver, but win not reveal th plants from which It la derived. Not long ago a professor in a German univer sity was sent to the Amazon wilderness for the express purpos of discovering the secret, for curari, or urarl, as it Is other wise called, is now thought to be of great value In medlcin. Th professor lived two years tn Indian villages, and while be was permitted to witness th boHIng of the "witches' broth." which lasted several days, he could not tell what plants went Into the brew. Returning from his baffled quest down th Amazon with a quantity of the poison, th professor was met by another traveler, Dewey Austin Cobb, who had got possession of a native blow gun. The lat ter tells how he put some of th profes sor's surari on aoms of his blow gun ar rows, which ar Ilk toothpick feathered with cotton, and tried It on a buck deer In the forest. "After a deliberate aim our hunter fired." aays Mr. Cobb, "If I may use such a word for ths little puff, scarcely heard by oa and entirely Inaudible above the rustling corn leaves at the dlstaDc of tha deer. The' animal gave a slight start as It felt th ?rlck of the arrow on Its Tank and turned partly around, sniffing the air for a scent, and looking about as If searching fqr the Insect that had bitten or stung tt. Detecting nothing. It stood still and un alarmed. At the end of a minute, or a minute and a half, at most. Its head dropped a little, as If It were sleepy. "When the hunter saw this be arose and stepped out In plain sight. Th deer turned his head and looked at him, .and moved forward, not away from him, "a few steps and stopped. It showed no fear, but sim ply curiosity. After another minute the professor and I arose, and all three walked quietly to within reach of It. It mad no movement to run away, but watched us Intently, and shifted Its position a little. Its movements seemed perfectly easy and natural. Absence of fear was tha only ob servable change, until at th end of thre minutes more; then it lay down, not fall ing, but as naturally as a cow or sheep when ready for sleep. "W all approached its side, and - th huntvr laii a band on its shoulders. It looked up at him, but showed no resent ment H- fear. Even Ita breathing aeeraed easy and .natural, which surprised me, as I had heard that death resulted from paralysis of the lungs when caused by urarl At th and of tea minutes, though. it opened Its eyes when touched, its breath became shorter and slower. Eighteen min ute after It was struck by th arrow It wa dead." National Geographic Maga-alr. Five days this week, fame days last weey ..

The same bear ish tone that n evident yesterdsy still featured the demand today and only the more desirable strines cf lambs sold 4urlng the first round. Mot of the early buslnesa looked to be about stesdy with yesterday, but prk-es have reached such loftv levels that killers are grasped every opportunity to bear the market and purchs.es are trimmed down t actual needs. There wer r.ot many sbeep cr yearllncs Inclvded In today'a run, but anything fit to kill In this line has been selling readily on most days lately. A few shorn weetern lambs were good enetieh to go at 15 and P 2S For the week thus far supply has been fully normal with the same tiny last week and the corresponding perl'Hl of lat year. The lilt end of the run has consisted of lambs in the fleece, largely Colorado-fed Mexicans. Prices showed some Improve ment during the first thre day under the infiuenc of a fairly li-eral demand, but week-end trade ha oeen uneven and un certain and some of the early advance ha been wiped out. High-dressing lambs are selling about l.V92fic higher than a week ago. hut the heavier grades are little, if any. higher. The best Mexicans here this week topped at 110 45 and a small string of fancy spring lambs broke all records at fU.r-0. Sheep and yearlings have scored nominal advances, but supply has been meager and the market uneven.
