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. Some time ago a gold and silver manufacturing firm had occasion to put in a new floor in its working room and the man who made the change took the old floor in payment of his work and was well paid.

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.

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.

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.

Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because of their lack of subsisted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. It is a fact well-known that Tommy, e.p.co.cardi�.com was written and dramatized a fearful and wonderful production called the Clansman in which he attempts to idealize the old Kuklux Klan that existed during reconstruction days. The so-called organization was organized for the purpose of deterring Afro-Americans from exercising any political rights and was compromising "best citizens". Its mode of operation was to be through the country at the end of the discussion, for the purpose of terrorizing the after-Americans. Occasionally for the purpose of making the lesson more impressive, they hanged a leader, or incharcer, as they did Uncle Jerry, as described in Judge Tourge's "A Fool's Errand." The mode of operation of the Clansmen was, however, eventually adopted by the poor whites, who avalled themselves of it to make raids upon chicken-coops and watermelon and sweet potato patches, without regard to race, color, or previous condition. They swiped from white and black with the greatest impartiality, and soon made themselves such a nullist. That both white and black came together with broken the gang of maunders.

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.

Vice President Fairbanks, in addressing the Young Men's Christian association of Indianapolis on Sunday, said: "Our safety lies in an educated citizenship."

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. President Roosevelt is writing a letter to be read at the Jewish Thanksgiving ceremony to be held at Carnegie hall, New York City. He was invited to attend and expressed a desire to do so, but told the committee that he would be the duty of every husband and father to spend Thanksgiving with his family. 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."

DARING LOST HIM A JOB. Did Unsurviving Acrobatic Stunts oh call Top of Town Sculptures. A strong-headed "steelope" is completing the job which Elmer Wakefield began Thursday. The "steeplejack" who is at work now is no better as a "steeplejack" than is Wakefield, but he has more regard for the sensibilities of the people who crane their necks to watch him. Wakefield is the man who did gymnastic "stunts" at the top of the 200-foot smokestack of the Western Union Union building, which he was sent up to put a fire coat of paint on. He swung the knee in his dizzy height, "hooped the knee" in his chaitu Defective Page one ringing, caught at supporting rods, threatened to turn somersaults, warned the shuddering crowd below to "get ready to pick up the pieces when he fell" and defied two excited policemen to "come up and arrest him." After he got tired of his aerobic performance he lowered himself to the ground. Then his friends took him home. The firm which has the contract for painting the smokestack decided that Wakefield was entirely too hazardous a risk. They admitted that his performance was thrilling, but offset that point in his favor by saying they were not giving a threerunning circus, but were painting smokestacks, and when they went into the Barnum business and hired a big tent Wakefield would be the first man they would look for. But meantime, they said, they wanted somebody more conservative. And they got him. The young man who went to work on Wakefield uncompleted job Friday morning attended strictly to business—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. ADAM'S STATE OF INNOCENCE Lasted Until He Took to Himself a Wife—and Their The Rev. E. T. Mount, the well known Oregon clergyman and author, lived some years ago in Colorado, and one day, in talking about Colorado, he said: "In a certain church in Colorado Springs there used to be a queer old crusted character, a Scot who was noted for his profound knowledge of the Scriptures. I lectured in that church one evening, and after the leeches, a Scot and I and some few others fell into conversation. "I was urged to put the old man's scriptural knowledge to the test. I was urged to question him and let him question me. He would get the better of me—that, everyone said, was certain—but I had my doubts, and turning to the Scot, said confidently: "I will try you, my friend, with the grand, leading, insurmountable question, How long did Adam stand in a state of innocence? "The Scot answered: "Till he got a wite." "Then, with a grim chuckle, he went on; "But can you tell me, sir, how long he stood after?" --- Madam Nellie Hale wishes to announce that she has secured temporary quarters in Labor Temple, Cor. 41th, and St. Eighth Ave. So., for the Autumn Leaf Dancing school.

Has Moved to Larger and Better Quarters The Elk Express Co. is growing and spreading out now that spring is here. The company has leased the building on the corner of St. Peter and Ninth streets. No. 467 St. Peter and Ninth streets. The current has also been added to the cement one large wagon and two small ones. The company is now prepared to move any one as quickly as any other firm in the business and at as low rates. Only competent men are employed to handle the goods. Mr. Walter Porter, the enterprising proprietor of the People's Shining Parlor, No. 114 E. 4th street, got a chance to sell his lease for a good round sum of money. He sold two shining parlor, one No. 105% E. 4th street, and the other at 127 E. 5th street. Matrimony vs. Female Labor. Matrimony vs. Pension Labor. One objection to trained female labor, says the Medical Press and Circulation, is that the service is liable to be organized by epidemics of matrimony to the employees. Nurses are by no means expert in this weakness, and of late a disposition has shown itself in certain hospitals to discourage the admission of young women who are "engaged," on the ground that the fact of their future being thus mortgaged indisposes them to that self-abnegation and single minded devotion to duty which are held to constitute the stock in trade of those who propose to take up nursing as a profession. Some of the young women may prefer the independence of the single state, but the majority assuredly only await the opportunity to disqualify themselves for the nursing profession. Three boys were told to go and take the exact time by the town clock. The first came back and said: "It is 12 o'clock." He became in life after a bookeller. The second was more exact. He said it was three minutes after 12. He became a doctor. The third looked at the clock, found out how long it took him to walk back to the house, returned to the clock, then added the time of his walk to the time shown, and reported the result thus: "It is at this moment 12 hours, 10 minutes and 15 seconds." That boy came to distinction as Helmholtz, the scientist—New York Tribune. Popularity of Yiddish. Yildish is an archaic and corrupt form of German extensively spoken by Jews in many countries besides Germany itself. A startling instance of its popularity is driven by a writer. In Jerusalem he met, "a worthy man who denounced me for being unable to converse with him in Yildish. 'You are no Jew, he protested, 'for you do not know the Jewish language.' I answered that Hebrew was the Jewish language and that I was quite willing to try to speak to him in it. His rejoinder was: 'I have no patience with this newfangled idea of speaking Hebrew in Jerusalem.'" How They Told Time. DOING IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

Gentleman: In memory of the past heroic deeds of the men who composed the union army of the Civil War, both Afro-American and white, who stood shoulder to shoulder in defending their country. G. A. R. Memorial Hall Committee most respectfully request your committee repretoire, the Afro-Americans of this County, to furnish an oil painting 40 by 60 inches in size, showing the 55th Mass.

Rich Man Says They Teach Grace to Members of His Family A rich man has the walls of his house covered with mirrors instead of pictures. In every room he can see himself in profile, from the rear, from the left, from the right—in twenty different ways. He claims that these mirrors promote grace. He asserts he has these mirrors on his children's account. Mirrors, according to this man's view, do not promote vanity. They promote self-study and, in consequence, self-improvement. If a young girl is round-shouldered she is hardly aware of her defect in the ordinary course of life, but if she lived in a home lined with mirrors she would see all the time the ugly, slovenly curve of her back, and, mortified and grieved, she would at once set to work with suitable exercises to become straight. All sorts of ugly habits—ugly ways of sitting, of standing, of smiling, of gesturing—are pictured in a true and unflattering way by mirrors. The average man or woman, perceiving these uselessness, would set to work to remove them. The trouble is, according to the rich man, that the average person does not perceive his several gullinesses and no one is frank enough to point them out to him. This innovator, opposing hotly the confession that mirrors foster vanity, looks at himself at home nearly all the time, and continually he urges his children to look at themselves, to study themselves and to try daily to improve in grace. WOULD NOT BE KISSED. American's Objection to Osculation Astonished Foreigners This is the true story of how a certain pianist, who has been amusing New York with his music and his manners, got possession of his muffler. He saw it first—the muffler that became his own—on the neck of a man to whom he had just been introduced. "I like your muffler," he said, by way of conversation. "I give you a dollar for your muffler." "Extremely flattered, I'm sure; but I don't care to sell out just at present," replied the American. "I give you a dollar," reiterated the pianist serenely. The muffler will be second hand. A dollar is a good price. The American pulled the muffler from his neck. "Accept it with my compliments," he said, wearily. Keep your money, and be—so good that I accept the muffler." The pianist was overjoyed. "Gentle man, he exclaimed with tears in his voice. "I kiss you for that." Spreading out his arms he rushed on the American. "I'll be hanged if you do!" cried the intended victim, who proceeded to grasp the piano pounder by the shoulders and shake him until his teeth rattled. The musician recovering his breath as the American was vanishing out of the door. "Men of your country are so cold, so very cold," he remarked to a bystander.

Henry Ward Beecher Drew Lesson From Humorous Incident. A very little girl was taken by her parents to a prayer meeting at Plymouth church presided over by Mr. Beecher. In giving out a hymn Mr. Beecher requested every person present who could sing to do so. The response not having been sufficiently hearty during the first verse, Mr. Beecher before the second again exhorted all to sing. "Come, brethren, if you have the grace of God in your hearts, let it come out in your voices. Sing! All together now! Sing!" The little girl took this as personal appeal and hastily bethought herself of the song dearest to the heart; the cry of a fruit vender who often brought fruit to her home. Accordingly, when the verse began she let her voice in a shrill cry of "Straw-battered straw-ries! Straw-brier! The congregation followed stopped and laughed, but Mr. Beecher, not at all disconcerted, called out, "that's right, little girl. That's right, if you can't praise God in anything but strawberries, then sing strawberries." STORY OF NAPOLEON REVIVED. Assertion Again Made That He Ordered Sick Soldiers Poisoned. A grim story of Napoleon is told by Christian Waas in a Frankfort review under the title of "Napoleon at Jaffa". A great number of the soldiers were down with the plague, and one day Bonaparte sent for his chief surgeon, Larrey. "If I were you, he to him, he should put our plague on him." He said he would save them from having recourse to opium to soothe them. "But my duty is to make them live," replied Larrey. Bonaparte then revealed the grim truth. He and his staff were reduced to traveling on foot because the horses were all being used for the transportation of the sick. He must, therefore, either abandon the plague-streken to the cruelty of the enemy or get rid of them. Mr. Waas main purpose of the order was carried out accordingly. There is an end, serves the Journals, and the illusion of the famous picture in the Louvre of "Bonaparte Visiting the Plague-Streken Soldiers at Jaffa".

This paper, the Democrat, established eighty-five years ago by their father, continues with increased prosperity in the hands of the Clay Sisters. 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-fifth year. Inexperienced but incited by duty and stern necessity, assisted by little Susanna, who began to set type under her instruction, she sent the paper on its weekly visits for twenty years. Only two issues of the paper failed to appear after her father's illness and only one issue not strictly on time, when the publication was held over till Sleep, as a factor in physical economics, ranks in importance with respiration and digestion. Those who live normally, who throughout all ordinary exigencies maintain a natural attitude toward life, its strains and responsibilities, may expect to enjoy a full measure of this restorative function. How much one needs is not to be determined by dogmatic rules or precedents, nor does each one require the same amount under every condition or circumstance. There must be enough, daily and weekly, and of suitable character, to restore the balance of neural energy reduced by whatsoever of fatigue follows upon daily activities, otherwise the sensorium resents this deprivation in one way or another. In those whose lives are full of repeated and emphatic demands upon them for concentration of attention, the habit of taking short naps is found to be most refreshing and invigorating. Many physicians, some lawyers and other professional men who peruse literary work find it satisfactory to secure a brief sleep some time during the day, often in the middle of operations, when an opportunity offers. When to sleep is again a matter of "Speaking of queer things, the clock in our office cut a curious caper the other night," said an old newspaper man, "and I was just thinking of the romantic possibilities of the happening. Lately the clock has not been working well. In fact, it has refused to run for some reason, and repair work has failed to put it in anything like decent shape. On the particular night I have in mind it was absolutely dead, and, I believe, had been perfectly still for several days. Along about the closing up time there was a sudden flutter in the clock's machinery, and then the funny thing began to happen. The clock began to tick precisely like a telegraph instrument. It was a call from some point. "Geet" shrieked a man near me who had some knowledge of telegraph. There's something doing. Hear that "Singapore" bet you Roestenvestny has bumped up against Togo's feet in the China sea." The clock kept on calling. It kept on spelling "Singa- An interesting story is that of what is known as the "Prescott Fund" of Prince William's parish, now parts of Hampton and Beaufort counties, South Carolina. It seems that in the early part of the last century an old woman lived in an isolated portion of what was then Beaufort District was on her deathbed, and sent for a lawyer to draw her will to dispose of the little hut and the few acres of land she had. After she had designated to whom these were to go the lawyer told her that to avoid any legal trouble over her will she should insert a clause disposing of whatever else she might have overlooked. She therefore designated that if there should be found anything else belonging to her undisposed of that it should be taken in charge of by a certain prominent citizen of Gilleville as trustee for the use of the white poor of Prince William's parish. Then she died. When the old woman's household ef- Ho, straight ahead 'oer the level plain, And it may be wet with the driving rain, Or dry to the drifting skies; Bid it messes me the land, for I must arch of its great day, To the purple twilight's swinging star, As I ride on the long white way, And I'm out on the long white way once more, The path to the skies of blue, Of the sun's open door, To things that are strange and new, I can see the light on its level track, In the sun of a vanished back. From the light the call me back, From the end of the long white way. Ho, straight ahead from the harbor's mount, In a flurry of foam, it lies: A ship's white wake to the burning south, With its blinding asphire skies. She has draped her flag to the fortress grim, The guard of the outer bay; She has dropped the hand 'neath the ocean's rim; And she's off on the long white way. And she's out on the long white way once more. In the salt of the ocean breeze, The long white ride to a distant shore. On the shore the long white seas.

Thursday in order to insert a legal advertisement sent from Montgomery. These girls, working side by side, for nearly twenty years, watching over each other with a never-failing confidence and inspiration of love, started in with the same old Washington press in use sixty years, the same old-fashioned cases and imposing stone and mailing table in use for the same length of time, made their own office fires, splitting and carrying the kindling to do it with, cleaned up office, brought water from the public hydrant to wash the type, rolled while the pressman worked the press till hands were blistered by the unusual exercise; yet these gifted women report political conventions, express intelligent, logical opinions on affairs of state, write county news, as well as write on social functions with touches of sparkling beauty and wit. They composed patriotic songs to popular airs, arranged the Democratic platform into a campaign song for Cleveland's second administration and supported Joseph F. Johnson for governor with a will and a vim against great opposition. opinion. Early rising is by common consent a salutary custom, especially when the day comes early, not otherwise. It is agreed that more sleep is required in winter than in summer. The best sleep is had during the hours of darkness. The mind is clearest in the early morning and those who can utilize this period for intellectual work are capable of turning out the best. The sleeping room should be cool, abundant air being always admitted. This should not be interpreted to mean that the room may safely remain intensely cold. In the modern treatment of tuberculosis fresh air is recognized to be imperatively needed all day and all night. Artificial heat can and should be supplied along with the fresh air till the temperature of the room be at or near 50 or 55 degrees Fahrenheit, for some even 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Above this no one in health is likely to sleep in perfect comfort. Babies and invalids need a heat of from 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, even at more times, yet all require the fresh air, or fullest ventilation. pore. At least that's what the man said. It's a hunch! he shrieked again directly, 'and unless we get busy around here we will just about get the life scooped out of us by missing the biggest naval engagement in history.' 'Don't get excited, old man, said a quiet fellow over in the corner, 'and just keep your eye on the clock. The pictures of the battle will be flashed in a 'few minutes and you will be able to see Rojestvensky and his crowd hustling for the bottom.' 'It's funny, isn't it?' said the quiet man after awhile, 'on what thin pegs we sometimes hang a tale? Here's an old, wornout clock, with a telegraph connection, and in some way the wires get mixed, the machinery is lostled a little and begins to click and immediately the romantic mind begins to conjure up things. I was just wondering how many of the yarns about the war's progress in the Far East, the losses in ships and men, have been taken from dead clocks! Many, I dare say:' feet were examined for distribution as she had directed, a quantity of gold and silver coins, said to amount to about $40,000, were found under her mattress. It has always been believed that this money had been given to the old woman to keep by horse thieves, who either had died or been run out of the country and had been afraid to return to get it. About the early part of the last century there were several gangs of horse thieves that operated along the coast from Virginia to Florida, and it was from the hanging of some of these men by a mob, headed by a man named Lynch, in Virginia, that the term "lynch law" is said to have been derived. Mrs. Prescott lived in a very isolated part of the district, and it has always been believed that these thieves used to make her house their stopping place and gave her the money to keep, and that she was afraid to tell of its possession even on her deathbed. Leap on through the racing day; And the swirling screw-blade never rests, As it beats out the long white way. Now, on and up to the ice and snow, 'Oer the sky-pitched craps, it lies, With a tear from the night-black cleft Where the pinnioned torrent cries; Where shining bright in the blue above, Shining bright in the white way, And point the path to the land I love, By the Pass of the Long White Way. And I'm up on the long white way once more. That ramps to the vurs of sight: The danger track o'er the ice's back, This snows crusting white: Till the pass is won and the plunge begun.
