audiences to an inter est of the most thrilling character - world indeed this is strange a very strange race has been found on yukon river in alaska the men have three arms an account that appears in the bntte m t in termountain thus describes one of the specimens who weighed 180 pounds was 35 years old and was five feet ten j inches tall and was dressed in a drab colored business suit : but the most singular thing about the man is the appearance of a third arm which starting out from between the lower points of the shoulder blades extends outward at least three feet from the body the arm is of extraordinary size and strength has an easy working elbow and end with a hand ofuniisal proportions provid ed with a thumb and four fingers when not in use it is carried over the right shoulder the hand resting over the pit of the stomach jumping from the lower step to the ground with the ease and grace of a well-trained athlete the singular looking stranger went to the baggage car from whence there was shoved out by the baggage master fii.st a huge trunk weighing at least 150 pounds then a well filled valise an i lastly a - huge roll of blankets and furs tak ing the trunk by the back hand the valise in the right and the blankets in the left hand this freak of nature made his way to the dearest saloon across the street are three-armed men common in your country inquired the listener tiny are not uncommon sir re plied kanianski i know a great many on the upper yukon with three arms among them several females the extra hand comes in good play with tiie l.:dies especially in combing and dressing their back hair and in buttoning their dress s and other things a lady with three arms is very much sought after by the yukon beans and they can generally have their pick among the

of breach of a international law the german commander replied that he had smi ply obeyed orders a hot nr gumeut ensued ending in a scuffle when the german commander retired to ins ship the governor then board ed the spanish man of war san quentin and requested the captain to tire into the ship the captain re fused the governor of the philippi nes having ordered him to avoid a conflict babrilles ordered the crew to tire whereupon the captain drew his revolver and threatened to shoot the first man who obeyed or repeated the order babrilles again ordered the men to tire when the captain shot babrilles in the shoulder babrilles was afterwards taken us prisoner to manilla where his trial is proceeding the government formally deny that there was an altercation on shore but are silent in regard to what occurred on the ship they admit that bab rilles ordered that the ship beat tacked i how insects figure rofessor riley states that insects hably outnumber in species all er animals

of such women true every word it is not creditable to the intelli gence of legislators that from year to year a tax should he levied in north carolina upon the books owned by private individuals this is to place an embargo on knowledge when a state is so hard up that it taxes old clothes and the few books in the pri vate families it is indeed exceedingly hard up if the proper laxables were made to bear what they ought to bear there would be plenty of money in the state treasury let the listing of taxes become what it ought to be a matter of honor and let taxes be equalized and there will be no short terms in the common schools and no taxing of scant wardrobes and small collections of books it is a reproach aud a nhmne that this condition i»f ihings exists a tax on books is a wrong it is a
