CHRISTMAS IN FAR SOUTH BRAVED LONELINESS FOR WEALTH UMBRELLA TELLS OF TRAGEDY RICHES IN JEWELER'S SWEEPINGS VOL.21.NO.48. Capt. Robert F. Scott, in his recent book, "The Voyage of the Discovery," tells how in 1902 his party penetrated farther south than men had ever done before. Three men of them were laboriously working toward the south with dogs and sledges. In December Capt. Scott says that they were passing from the hungry to the ravenous condition; they could scarcely direct their thoughts from food and the talk ran on little else. Both on the march and at night they felt this very badly if the middle of their sleep they would jump up with the most distressing feeling of emptiness and the knowledge that it ruined four or five hours to breakfast time. About this time, too, symptoms of scarcity began to make their appearance. This probably was due to the character of the food. Breakfast consisted of pemplean, biscuit and badly made tea, and for lunch they had a small piece of seal meat, half a biscuit and eight or ten lumps of sugar, and their supper was equally frugal; so it is no wonder that they suffered from "food dreams" and other consequences of hunger. However, they tried to keep Christmas day as well as they could. With Alaska furs valued at $25,000 from Nulato, on the Lower Yukan, Garrett Büsch has arrived in Seattle after eight years spent in trafficking with the Indians in the wilderness which he was the first white man to penetrate as a trader. When Mr. Busch reached Nulato, Aug. 12, 1974, with a miner's outfit as his sole possession, he foresaw in that gloomy solitude a trade in the furs which protect animal life from arctic winters which would exceed in returns the reasonable possibilities of mining ventures. Mr. Busch settled down at the place where the little town of Nulato now stands. He built a one-story cabin with lumber which he saw from the native timber, began to trade his miners' supplies to the natives for the furs which they knew how to trap, but of whose value we no conception. Through the first winter he lived alone, except when an occasional squad of Indian trappers came by and stopped in curiosity to learn what manner of man had setled in so lonely a spot. To these In- "Look at me! Just look at me!" It was the umbrella that spoke, or rather, the remains of what once had been an umbrella. A sloppy, fnbly, muddy patch of silk, a dozen bent wires and a broken stick carved at one end, was all one could now see. Only look at me! Fifteen minutes ago, I was a handsome, new silk umbrella, of myself, and my young owner's pride. Now I am trampled under the hoofs of horses and run over by every kind of wheel—not worth two cents. Look at me! "And it all happened in a jiffy! My, I should be dizzy yet if I didn't feel so dreadfully fast. Harry was coiling up the avenue, swifting me admiringly and of course wishing for a shower. And would you believe it, he got his wish! "Harry felt the first drop, and up I was pushed. Joe, who was walking beside him, declared it did not rain, and called Harry proud for wanting to show me off. Harry told Joe he was only jealous because he didn't have a fine new umbrella. The crowning glory of a Syrian landscape, however, is its brilliant coloring. Before I left America, says Lewis Guston Leary in The World Today, it seemed to me that the vivid tints of Tissot's pictures must be exaggerated, but they fall short of the reality. Of course, no artist can hope to reproduce the marvelous warmth and depth of the landscapes in an eastern landscape, or to imitate the vast soft hues that are so characteristic of the Syrian atmosphere; but it would be almost as impossible for him to find tints that were overhight or to arrange them in an order too daring to be matched by the Syrian sun. The very nights are full of color. The moonlight is so brilliant that it is easy to read a guide book, and even on a moonlight night and in the wilderness, far from any city's glare, the starlight has been so bright that I could see the second hand of my The waste of gold in a manufacturing jeweler's premises is likely to be so considerable that the most stringent measures have to be taken to avoid loss by reason of the gold dust falling to the floor, getting caught in the workers' clothes, getting washed off his hands, and in many other ways.

We were outside in a twinkling, to find the sky gloriously clear and bright, with not a single cloud in its vast arch. Away to the westward stretched the long line of gleaming coastline; the sunlight danced and sparkled in the snow beneath our feet and not a breath of wind distracted the serenity of the scene. It was a glorious morning, but we did not stay to contemplate it, but we had even more interesting faces to see and were soon inside the tent sniffing at the savory cream of the soup. "Then breakfast was ready and before each of us lay a whole pannkin full of biscuit and seal liver fried in bacon and pennican fat. It was gone in no time, but this and a large spoonful of jam to follow left a sense of comfort which we had not experienced for weeks, and we started to pack up in a frame of mind that was wholly joyful." dians he traded his humble supplies, except the provisions which he actually needed to sustain his own existence until spring. The visits of the Indians were few and far between. The solitary trader was often homesick as he sat through the almost perpetual darkness of the winter. In the short hours of glimmering daylight he gathered his little stores of firewood, dragging them through the snow, and then sat through the long night counting off the days on the calendar until spring. His nearest neighbors were at Anvik, 200 miles down the Yukon, and at Weare, 240 miles up the stream. He never saw a white face until nearly a year after his arrival at Nulato. When spring broke upon the lonely heart, he assumed a more cheerful aspect. The new white trader had spread far through the Indian settlements, and the natives began calling regularly at the post with their stock of furs. They came from Koyoku, from lomko and from Kushokwim, some of them traveling nearly 500 miles—Seattle Times. "Well, it soon rained hard, and then Joe changed his tune. He wanted to walk under me, but Harry pushed him roughly away. "Joe pushed back; he shoved Harry fairly out in the street. "Perhaps Harry wasnt angry, and I don't blame him, either. Though I wish he hadn't laid me down while he went to give Joe the pummeling he deserved. "But we had just come to that fearfully gusty corner, where the wind blows seventeen ways a second. The instant Harry let go of me one of the crazy puffs reached under me and me so lightheaded I jumped up to the seventh story windows in one bound.

A moonlit scene at home gives only the impression of light spots and dark spots; everything is black or white or gray; but here in Syria the moonlight shows the colors of the rainbow. The green of the trees and grain, the red of the tile roofs, the blue of sea and sky and the white of the distant mountains are harder and more delicate, but hardly less distinct, one from the other, than in the sunlight. But the sunset colors are the best of all, especially when the mountains come close to the sea. I hesitate to compare Belrut with Neaples; yet we have as clear skies here, the sweep of the bay is much the same and, instead of smoky Vesuvius, there is the range of Lebanon, culminating in Jupiter Sunni, almost twice as high as the爬山 mountain, and for half the year crowded with dazzling snow. ficient gold to pay for a new one. The sweepings are sent to the refiner for the gold to be extracted. The process of extracting the gold from these sweepings is simple. They are burnt, and the ashes are carefully collected. The buyer selects samples here and there, taking a portion from every part of the heap. These he weighs, puts through a grinder and sieve, then thoroughly mixes the product, takes a sample of it, weighs it, refines it, and calculates how much gold there is in the whole quantity of ashes. From this he forms an estimate of the value and pays accordingly. Even the water in which gold is washed when a ring or other article of jewelry is cleaned is preserved until there is a sufficient quantity to make it worth while to separate the gold from it. THE APPEAL. What is an Angel? ANGEL of the ANNUNCIATION—H & Jan van Leyck figure without feathered appendages. Burne-Jones is another ex- Lost Chance to Become a Millionaire What is an angel and whence came the popular symbolism of a heavenly messenger with its wings, its flowing draperies, its branch of lilies 'or its faming sword? What historic or religious reason is there for putting wings on angel wings and why should there be any argument about their extent? Out of a moment controversy between the artistic and the religious interpretation of an angel these questions have grown and have called attention to the fact that very few people have any definite conception of an angel. The Egyptian, the Greek and the Persian allies all had their winged messengers who obeyed their commands, and the Biblical angels follow the same idea, but no writer of ancient times goes very deeply into the origin of angels. It is taken for granted that the angel host existed prior to the creation, and its numbers were infinite, each host consisting of a "thousand times a thousand" and the hosts themselves innumerable. What these "upper ones," these messengers from heaven, looked like relations differ, as religious paintings of the angels were gilded to that when an angel appeared to them "he beheld a man clothed in linen whose loins were gilded with pure gold of Uphaz. His body was also like the beryl and his face as the an ANGEL of the ANNOUNCEMENT H & Jan Van Eyck penance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his feet like in color to burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude." But those who saw these heavenly visions described them differently. One behead an angel that seemed to extend from earth to heaven, and another vision towered above him, by the length of a journey five thousand years. There are other Biblical authorities than Daniel for the belief that angels had bodies like our own. Tradition says that God is responsible for their creation and that they existed prior to the beginning of the world. The ancients painted them in simple draperies and with wings glorious and magnifif- NOT THE INFORMATION WANTED. Seeker Made His Query Just a Little Too Simple. A female friend of the household was ill and the masculine head of the house had been assigned to call up over the telephone, when he reached the office, and find out how the woman was. "I wish to inquire as to the condition of the elder Mrs. Jennings," he murmured over the telephone, for she lived with her daughter-in-law, and he was not satisfied with the city. A feminine voice informed him that his question was not understood. Again and again he repeated it, but without avail, until finally an inspiration struck him. He decided that he For the Small Sum of $500 Publisher Could Have Been a Sharer in the Immense Fortune of Singer. The announcement that the will of Mrs. Singer, a relative of the late millionaire sewing machine inventor, Isaac Merritt Singer, had been filed for probate the other day brought another thrill of sadness of the "ik-might-been" type to members of the family of the late William A. Townsend, former book publisher of this city, says the New York Press. Early in 1851 Townsend was at the zenith of his fortune. He not only published the works of, but was an intimate friend of James Fenimore Cooper, "Frank Forrester," authority on wool and gun, and other celebrities of that time. To the office of the publisher there came one day a man rather poorly dressed and carrying under his arm the model of a sewing machine. Somewhat to the annoyance of the publisher, the man with the machine—Isaac Merritt Singer—insisted upon cent in color, tinted with the rainbow wings of heaven. When these angel wings were outspread they formed a gorgeous background for the figure, and when they were at rest the tips of the wings drooped in the ground. There is a quaint tradition that the idea of giving wings to God's messengers came from the map key, the maple which certain seasons of the year forms on the earth, when they flutters to the earth, borne by a cute transparent wings. Whether this is responsible for assigning wings to the "upped ones" or not is still a mystery, but long before the time of Michael, Gabriel and the musical choirs of heaven, the messenger of Isis traveled earth and heaven upon wings, while Mercury also sped hither and thither by their aid. Following the use of simple white drapery in the painting of angels' colors delicate aurees, greens, reds and purples were introduced. Then there came a period of elaboration. The Spanish and Flemish artists depicted angels arrayed in long, heavy, robes embroidered and jeweled in their hands. A later reaction began and painters in for the loose, simple flowing drapery the Greeks. Some of them even went back to the Old Testament idea of wingless angels. Rossetti, for instance, made his "Annunciation" angel a slender, graceful and youthful SOME RAPHALL CHEERU figure without featured appendages. Burene-Jones is another exponent of the simple style. Fray Angelico painted the most feminine angels of any of the great masters. Though he is supposed to have believed in the man angel the faces of his heavenly messengers exquisitely dainty against the golden background of the altar, the new and then genuine feminine angels have appeared on canvas or carved out of marble, but neither the church nor art seems to approve of this departure from the orthodox in angelology. One explanation of this oversight or wilful neglect in identifying woman with the heavenly host is that woman's place in the ancient world was too unimportant for her to have any de would simplify his question and he shouted over the wire: "I want to know how old Mrs. Jenings is?" "I'll see," was the encouraging response, and after a long wait another voice, a thin, quavering voice, took up the conversation at the other end of the wire with: "I don't know who you are, and I don't think it's any of your business, but I was born on Dec. 3, 1830." And then the receiver was hung on the hook with a vicious slam. Train of Canned Peas.

He needed money to push his patent, he said, and for $500 would give Townsend a half interest in all the profits which he was sure to make. * But Townsend was not interested. Books were in his line—not sewing machines, and, besides, he did not have time to spare to give any such project. Sadly the invencer wrapped up his beloved machine and went away. He returned a few days later and almost begged for the $500 under the conditions named, but Townsend was obdurate, although $500 was a more nothing to him at that time. The man still helped the needed $500 at the time of his death his estate was valued at $15,000,000 and increasing each year.

Rank among the angels was first observed in the early part of the Bible. There the first of the archangels are mentioned. St. Michael, the guardian angel of Israel, was made the captain of the archangels. His army comprised six others of the elect in angelhood, among whom were Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel. Next to the archangels came the cherubim and the seraphim in the heavenly bierarchy. They rose to the throne of the Creator, while the cherubim, who are wiser than the seraphim, are given special duties to perform. In his Madonna di San Sixto Raphael represented cherubs as little children with tiny wings. Some were just needs and others had arms, but no bociles. Murillo, too, filled his picture of the "Immaculate Conception" with tiny winged heads. Perugino gave us cherubim with three pairs of wings surrounding a baby face, no doubt basking this fanciful image on that verse in the Bible which speaks of the cherubim with three pairs of wings, one to cover the feet, one to cover the face and the third to fly with it. But what has religion of to-day to say about the belief in and representation of angels? Rev. Dr. Thomas R. Slicer gives it as his opinion that "angels were men and angel at CHERUDIN WITH THREE BURS OF WINGS - PERUDINO. tributes were no more feminine than masculine." The matter can hardly be taken seriously, for the representation of the angelic presence is simply a part of the symbolism of religious art and is meant to aid the imagination of the devout, who need symbols their approach to the spiritual spheres. All physical representation of spiritual things is a survival of that view of the universe, which can overed over to the Christian thought the Greek conception of Olympus and its deities—New York Herald. CAREFUL OF TAIL NOT THERE Effect of Hereditary's impression on Offering of Many Cases "It is well known that Manx cats have no tails," says writer in the Scientific American, about slight stumps, and that the offspring of such in other parts of the world, in the first generation at least, are in the same abnormal condition. While living in Scotland thirty years ago we had a Manx kitten given to us which, although born there, was tailless. The door of our breakfast room was spring-shutting, like most of the screen doors in this country, but opening only toward the inside. Before the kitten was full grown he had learned to let himself in by pushing from the outside, but never learned, although we often tried to teach him, to pull it open from the inside. "It was not, however, the opening of the door from the outside to which wish to call attention—any cat have canly learned to do that; but fact that invariably, after he had pushed in and got his body partially in, he must have a rapid or whirl to prevent the tail that was not there (but heredity impaired on him the fact that it ought to have been) from being caught between the closing door and its frame. "This he did dozens of times every day so long as we had him, and was always willing to show off before our visitors, as he never seemed to recognize the fact that he had not a tall like his neighbors."

President Roosevelt's successor will be inaugurated on the last Thursday in April, 1909, instead of on the 4th of March that year, provided Congress and the different states act promptly upon a report which will be made to it by a committee consisting of the members of forty-four states and riotries and fifteen citizens of Washington. This committee, over which District Commissioner MacFarland presides as chairman, met Tuesday. Responses from virtually all of the governors, submitted by mail, were read and recorded, and local members of the commissioned office met on that day. There was a unanimity of sentiment that the date upon which the President is inaugurated should be changed. The 4th of March generally is inclement. The weather during the latter part of February and the first of March is the most trying of all the winter, Washington, and numerous areas are directly to exposure, either forced or voluntary, on inauguration day.

Some twenty years ago, when the lower deck of the Treasury were so vested with a wooden hatch, the place became infested with rats, and through the sewers and by other openings, overrunning the place and feeding upon the cockroaches and insects that have at all times abounded in the building, as well as the remains of linches, which were at that time cardlessly thrown into old blinds and windows. To destroy the rats a few cats were introduced. The cats found the Treasury vaults an ideal home, and they multiplied and increased at an astounding rate. Finding enough to live on in the rats and mice they caught, they became very shy and wild, hiding away during the dark corners, lumber piles, etc. in the building, coming forth at night and prowling over the streets, complying every manner of vandalism. $2.40 PER YEAR.

The complaint against these cats became so strong that in 1902 an order was given to destroy the major portion of them, a work which was intrusted to the night watchmen. But the night watchmen had taken such a liking to these beasts that the order was not excused in fact. It was they who encouraged the cats. The reduction of the cats was accomplished in other ways than by direct extermination. The laying of the new iron floor and the removal of all iron matter from the building at the entrance. In fact, they caused the number of rats, and this caused many to leave. Three of the best mousers were allowed, however, to remain, and these are now fed every night by the watchmen.

Thereupon, Tommy accuses the Herald of basing its opinion upon "the wild vaporings of the theatre," and so tempted to attend the theatre and who are stupidly ignorant of the first principles of dramatic construction." Tommy further avers: "The assertion that I am appealing to the mob passions of the theatre." He further remarks: "I have dramatized this educated Negro, and the sight of him has thrown some Southern men into a fit. I knew it would. We are grieved at being compelled to do so, but rhetoric did not faze the Herald nor induce it to bring forth fruits meet for repentance.

It hath a most ancient and fish-like smell. Vice President Fairbanks, in addressing the Young Men's Christian association of Indianapolis on Sunday, said: "Our safety lies in an educated citizenship." It would have been much more appropriate on such an occasion than it is now, and truth to say: "Our safety lies in a virtuous citizenship." The idea that education can preserve American institutions is delusive. What threatens us is not ignorance but dishonesty, and we find to our sorrow that resale classes as among the ignorant, even if it takes on a different form. We endorse the foregoing, fully, just as it stands, but suggest that it does not go far enough, as it evidently refers more to financial dishonesty. We believe that bad and even more disastrous than bankoring or plundering the policy holders of an insurance company. When men who, like Gorman, attempt to nullify the provisions of a constitution they have suprised us, they are lying to achieve success, they deserve a place in the pillory and a brand on the forehead. They are post-graduates in villainy and moral degenerates. Ex-Senator J. W. Helm of Michigan is a Democrat of the right sort. He says: "When a man's political rights are taken from him, his liberty soon follows. Depriving the Aro-American of his ballot by ingenious laws has left him naked to his enemies. Congress should make lynchings and burials offenses punishable in the federal system, in order to change the venue from the southern states when necessary. "The nullification of the fifteenth amendment should be crushed by federal legislation, as necessary by constitutional amendment." J. B. HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN. Popular Member of Congress First District of Illinois "The whole trend in legislation in the south in recent years is to virtually restore slavery. The south proposes to confine the Afro-American to the cotton field and to mental service. Already in Mississippi the cry goes up against any education for the Negro." Upon several occasions we have attempted to throw some light upon the question "What has become of the Afro-Americans who have abandoned the Southern plantations?" A letter from Frank G. Carpenter throws a little light on the subject: "In relaying the tracks of Havana railways not long ago, a gang of Cubans. Negros was employed, but the work was difficult. American mericans were brought over and put on the work at about twice the wages received by the Cubans. Both sets of hands were boarded, but the Americans did twice as much work as the Cubans, and they would have been paid a money. This increase of pay, however, on the part of the Afro-Cubans and the result was that they gave a raise of wages, although the Americans still did the most work." Mr. Dixon says he will shake his life on the accuracy of "The Clansman" both as an historical picture and a sound argument on the race problem. Mr. Dixon says the Chicago Journal, of Dixon's, "it not only appeals to passions of the lowest and most incendiary kind, but, as a general proposition, it is untrue. Southerners of the old slave-holding class, who served in the Concatenate army and afterward passed through the horrors of reconstruction know perfectly well that the Afro-Americans were not the fandles described by Mr. Dixon. Very possibly, Tom now believes the lices he has framed but it is not uncommon for prevaricators to repeat the lices until they believe them. An exchange says: "The drift of the Afro-American northward is by census and other figures. What does it mean to the Afro-American and what does it mean to the Northern cities?" Well, it means several things. One is that persistent efforts have been made to attract Afro-American domestics from the South. Another is that strenuous efforts have been made to draw Afro-American strike-breakers from the South. Another is that the Afro-American is disgusted with anaconda mortgages, Jim Crow cars, Granddaddy clauses, lynchings, and with all the rest of the Southern devilry and barbarism.

ELEPHANT SAVED THE BABY On the beach at Atlantic Highlands, N. J., with sand drifted about her, lies the first submarine boat built by Simon Lake, that intrigued inventor, whose latest creation, the Protector, is now in the far east, presumably in the hands of Russian naval officers, says the New York Globe. Thousand of Jersey coast commuters see the plain wooden hull every day, but few know it made the Protector possible and frightened the wits out of the natives when they first saw it. Children play on it now and try to turn the big wooden wheels which are hub deep in seawed and bog wood. The craft is about twenty feet long and is fitted with port holes, a conning tower and a bicycle chain and mechanism for turning the drive wheels. It has not been moved in twelve years, since Lake made his last dive in Sandy Hook bay, became more ambitious and began the construction of a more pretentious boat. Baymen remember well when the youth of serious men came to the place and began the construction of "a coffin-like thing," in which he said he was going to the bottom of the bay and look around a bit. They thought Lena, the biggest of the performing elephants in Fairyland, now showing at Paterson, N. J., indulged both her maternal instinct and her sense of humor recently in a manner which threw a large audience into panic. A tiny girl of three, unobserved by the crowd, had crawled beneath the wall and stood just within the ring. So little was she that she was entirely out of range of the trainers in the center. But as she delicately peted her baby hands at the marching and counter marching of the huge beasts the watchful Lena saw and marked her, first, for removal from harm's way, and, second, for the necessary maternal discipline, which should prevent a recurrence of the danger. Lena's small eyes twinkled with amusement as, leading her fellows, she approached the venturesome baby for the second time. The little one jumped up into her face with an enchanting smile and shouted never hesitated. She shot out her trumpet it aboutted to the child's body and in a second had whistled her high in the air. A resident of Penang thus describes the rainy season there: "Our rains have set in with all their attendant comforts and discomforts and they make one feel something like Robinson Crusoe when he made up the list of his blessings and evils. The planters are all rejoicing and are putting out their seedlings and cuttings and generally doing all they should do. The bullocks are beginning to fill out those ugly hollows between their ribs and about their flanks, for the grass on their limited pastures is growing rich and rank and these patient, half-starved beast profit by it. Our trees have all put on new coats of brilliant green and the whole place wears a coat of fur, very comforting after the dusty day, which our soup tastes gritty and a piece of bread and butter seems to have had a bit of sandpaper glued on the butter side. But even our rains have their disadvantages. "When I come home, thoroughly wet. A peculiarity of fire worship not unnaturally consists in that element being treated with the greatest respect, and any act which could in any way be considered as polluting it is strictly forbidden. For example, a conscientious Parsec never smokes. Much more, then, is anything in the way of sacrifice of a living thing tao-bo, and we must look elsewhere for the origin of the Bel fires which were up till recent times a common custom in the Orcades, in Wales, and in other out-the-way parts of Great Britain. The reader will remember the expression "passing children through the fire" used in the Old Testament to describe a particularly abominable and culpable form of idolatry. There seems to be little doubt that the game played by children round these fires may be directly referred to that old Phoenician institution, only in its old "form the child did not pass A broker sneered at the recent story of Andrew Carnegie's reputed declaration that his epitaph was to be "That's d—d white of Andy." "Mr. Carnegie is a wise man, not a fool," said the broker. "It is true that he has done in his time odd and remarkable things. All those things, though, had a wise sense behind them. But such an epitaph as That's d—d white of Andy" could only be to evoke ridicule. "I once visited Dunfermline, Mr. Carnegie's birthplace. They told me there a story about him that illustrated the tenacity and perseverance of his childhood—his bulldog determination to ride down every obstacle and reach his end. "I seems that at the little Dunfermline school the master called Andrew One of the newly rich, John Johnson by name, to establish a sort of literary character, had bought a lot of books, among them a copy of a rare old dictionary. It was somewhat out of repair and he took it to the blinder's. When finished he noticed that the words "Johnson's Dictionary" had disappeared on the cover. He fell into a furious passion and demanded of the man: "Why didn't you put the full name on—John Johnson's Dictionary?" the man was crazy and told him so one day, whereupon he laughed. The boatman-were positive then that he was a maniac. The strange creation was finally launched and went for a spin on the surface. Then all of a sudden it disappeared. "I told you so," shouted one clam digger close by. "That fool is dying like a rat." There was a scurry of boats to the spot where bubbles showed on the surface. "His dying gasp," remarked one grizzled old fellow. "Dying gasp, nothing," shouted another. "Look at them bubbles moving on you." That young city chap has got us stuart. He's sneaking along the bottom like him. and he'll sure get these anchors you and me has been grafilin" for all summer." Then Simon Lake came to the surface, lifting a hatch, smiled broadly at his open-mouthed audience. "It's nice down there" he said. "Want to come aboard?" the clamboats scattered like frightened chickens and from that day Simon Lake was regarded among the beachcombers as "the man who could breathe under water just as well as any blamed fish in the sea." An instant the spectators saw the little girl's fluttering skirts and caught her frightened cry; the next one she was whirling through space. Women shrieked with terror and hid their eyes. The trainers dashed to the place where the child lay, expecting to find her crushed and dead. Instead she was as safe from harm as though cradled in her mother's arms. Lea, with unerring sagacity, had tossed her upon a soft, grassy spot, and had handled her so gently that not a bruise was to be found upon her. The child shed a few alarmed tears and then promptly forgot the incident. When a search was made for her parents none could be found. The child was apparently alone and had wandered into the show unnoticed in the crowd. She was taken to the police station, where she was later claimed by her father, Frank Spinel-blew, whose name is Josie, she had slipped away in the building. Her parents were greatly terrified when they learned of her peril—New York World. and disgusted with everything, and go to bed immediately after dinner, the roof commences to leak and I have to get out and shift the bed. I interview the landlord in the morning and he tells me roofs can't be repaired in the rain that in all probability as soon as the tiles of the roof will become watertight of its own nature, doesn't cure either my lumbago or rheumatism, and when I take my bath I discover we are on the Ader item water service and have to bathe in pea soup. I mention the fact to the municipal prosecutor over stengh at the club and he says: "My mother says the same service and have been combing out of my hair for a week. This doesn't make me feel any cleaner. The lizards on the ceiling are waxing fat from the insects which are driven into the house by the rain and I notice that the soup at dinner seems to have more body in it from the same reason. This does not improve my temper." through the flame and emerge safely on the other side, as do the boys who jump over the Belfires to day, but was burnt to death as a sacrifice—not, however, to Baal but to Molech. Still, as the two deities were intimately connected, and as accuracy as to details was not a strong point with certainty, the Belfires was not safe enough that the idea of them should be transferred from the "horrid king" to his equally repulsive ally, Baal. A different kind of fire, better known to most of us, has a very modern origin, the responsible cause being another king, a most unpleasant character, but not a diabolical fire. I refer to bonfires, the original name of which was "bone" fires, so called because they were lighted by Henry the Great, the king of saints and other relics found in the pillaged monasteries and churches. —"Origins of the Commonplace," in the Grand Magazine. up one day and asked him how much seven times nine was. "The boy, unable to hit on the answer immediately, began to go over the entire table. "Twice nine is eighteen, thrice nine is twenty-seven, four times nine is thirty-six, five——" "But the master interrupted, impatiently. "No, no,' he said. 'Give me the answer straight off.' "After some thought the boy began again: "Twice nine is eighteen, thrice nine is twenty-seven, four times—" "No. Straight off,' repeated the master. "Haud yer gob, man,' the boy cried, passionate!," 'Ye've spelled me twice, 'an do ye want to spoil me a third time?" —Cincinnati Enquirer. He had just returned from a continental trip and was telling his adventures. "And above all," he said, "I actually had the distinguished honor of playing whist with a king." The man in the overcoat had listened in silence up to this point, and now his lip curled scornfully as he replied: "Nothing; I once played with four kings." "Really?" "Yes. Four kings and an aoe."

"Twas the fall of 1883 when Miss Virginia Clay left the schoolroom to become typesetter at the printer's case as an apprentice and two years later, when her father was stricken with paralysis, from which he never recovered, this determined girl took editorial charge of the Democrat, then in its sixty-ffth year. Inexperienced but Inelted by duty and stern neces: sity, assisted by little Susanna, who began to set type under her instruc: tion, she sent the paper on its week. ly visits for twenty years. Only two ‘ssues of the paper failed to appear after her father’s illness and only one issue not strictly on timé, when the publication was held over till Sleep, as a factor in physical econo- mics, ranks in importance with respir- ation and digestion, ‘Those who live normally, who throughout all ordinary exigencies maintain a natural attitude toward life, its strains and responsi- bilities, may expect to enjoy a fall measure of this restorative function.
