A performer, whose weight is no less than
15O pounds, mounts them, and, springing in
the air toward the floor and the stage, strikes
both feet with heavy thud upon the bare
breast of man standing about ten feet from
the foot of the tables, throwing him violently
to the floor. How man can sustain such a
blow is a mystery. Again the agile acrob It

by men in semi-nu1e condition, so that

While the Americans in the theater applaud,
the Chinese make no demonstrations of ap-

managers informed the reporter of the San
Francisco Call that the tumblers are traine
from childhood, and become habituated to
the terrible conclusions only by years OF prac-
tice. He added that many are killed in train
ing, or manned for life. None of their feats
are graceful, bat simply indicate tremen-
dous amount OF strength, nerve and en-
durance.

One Of FOX'S Jokes.

MONDAY July II, 1836.-One OF Henry
Foxs jokes was that played off on the late
Mrs. -, who had great fondness for max
ing the acquaintance Of foreigners. He first
forged letter of recommendation to her
favor of German nobleman, the Baron Won
Seidlitz Powdertz, whose card was left at her
door, and for whom a dinner was Immediately
planned by Mrs. -, and an invitation sent
in form After waiting considerable time,
no Baron appearing, the dinner Was served;
but during the second course note was
brought to the lady Of the house, with ex-
cuse, from the Baron, who was unexpectedly
prevented from coming by the sudden death
OF his aunt, the Duchess v,n Epson Saltz,
which she read out to the company without
any suspicion Of the joke, and to the enter
tainment Of her guests, among whom was the
facetious suthor-ErOm Bric-a- Brac.

NEW YEARS EVE.
BY ALFRED TENNYsoS.

Ring ont. wild bells. to the wild sky
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year Is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new;
Ring, b ppy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly diving cause,
And ancient forms Of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes Of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic SANDER and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love Of good.
Ring ont old shapes of foul disease,
Ring ont the narrowing lust Of gold
hing out the thousand wars Of old,
Ring in tue thousand years Of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand
Ring out the darkness OF the land,
Ring in the christ that is to be.

"I'll Bury You for Nothing. {"

I remember in Dublin very capital man Of
business, an upholsterer, undertaken, and SO
on, who liked his bottle, and Was much in
company with the principal actors. One day
he dined with party with Jack Vsn6ermeer,
who, from being great favorite for his per-
Torrance OF Skirmish in the Deserter," was
also much admired by this same upholsterer.
Vandermeer, after dinner, came out with
some handsome ,kes, and sang capital
song, and the decanter went round, when the
tradesman clapped the GLORIOUS boy" on
the shoulder, saying in high glee, "You're q
fine fellow Z. I'll make you present of a
capital mahogany dining table. mo- said
Vandermeer, II want no tables; I'm in fur
nished lodgings" "Are you?" said the
other; and on Nandermeer's coming out with
another joke or two, and the glass going
round, added, "You are fine fellow
You're such a fine fellow, I'll bury you for
nothing-you're a bachelor, you shall have
white feathers in your hearse! I'll bury you

It is said that about fifteen thousand
punches of violets are sold per day in Paris.
They are not in so much favor now as they
were during the Empire, for the violet is
looked upon as an imperial flower. 1t is,
therefore, political flower. and some people
fear to be thought Imperialists if they wear a
violet in their button. hole.

HOME COMING.

When brothers leave the old hearthstons
And go, each one, q separate way,
We think, as We go on alone
Along our pathway, day by day,
OF olden scenes and faces dear;
OF voices that we miss 30 much,
And memory brings the absent near,
Until we almost feel the touch
OF loving hands, and hear, once more,
The dear old voices ringing out,
Az in the happy time of yore,
Ere life had caught share Of doubt
II you should place against your ear
The shell you plundered from the sea,
Down in its hidden heart you'd hear
A low and tender melody,
A murmur of the restless tide,
A yearning, born Of memory
And, though his longings be denied,
The shell keeps singing OF the sea.
And sometimes when old memories throng
Like ghosts, the chambers Of our soul,
We feel the gearing, deep and strong,
longing we cannot control,
To lay our cares and business by
To seek the old. familiar ways,
And cross homes Threshold and sit down
With comrades Of our earlier days
For, though our paths are sundered wide,
We feel that we are brothers yet,
And by and by we turn aside
From hvrrying care and worldly fret,
And each one wanders back to meet
His brother by the hearth Of home;
think the meeting Is more sweet
Because 80 far and wide we roam.
We cross the lengthening bridge OF years,
Meet outstretched hands and faces true
The silent eloquence Of tears
Speaks welcome that no words can do.
But ah, the meetings hold regret
The sad, sad story, often told,
OF hands that ours have often met,
Close folded under churchyard mold
or eyes that smile into our own,
Closed in the dreamless sleep Of God;
A sweeter rest was never known
Than theirs beneath the graves white sod.
A tender thought for them tonight.
tribute tear from memory;
Beneath their covering Of white
Sweet may their dreamless slumber be.

Relics OF a Dead Race.

Mr.. A. j. Conant, the artist, returned
recently from the Ozark mountains
where he passed week in exploring
some remarkable caves on the Gasconadt
and tributary streams, lying principally
in Phelps and Pulaski counties. Mr.
Conant about two years ago made some
interesting discoveries in the region
mentioned of human skulls and skele.
tons, supposed to belong TO a people
who existed before the historic period
and as it is understood that he has been
engaged since 1862 in collecting the ma.
terials of work on archaeology, it may
well be supposed that he is enthusiastic
in following up his discoveries.
He and his party first visited Bruce's
cave, 30 named after one of the early
settlers, who made saltpeter from the
cave deposits. The cavern is in the
limestone formation, with an entrance
about 130 feet in the bluffs above the
Gasconade river. They first entered q
spacious chamber, but as the passage
narrowed, the party were forced to get
down on their knees and crawl some
distance. They next made nearly per-
pendicular ascent of fifty feet, when
they entered large chamber sparkling
with stalactites of a snowy whiteness
like alabaster, with hundreds of bats
hanging in festoons from the roof. Hav-
ing explored the caverns, the work of
excavating began at the mouth of the
cave, where bones and implements were
found. They made vertical section of
six feet, and studied the stratifcation of
the soft deposits. The layers changed
from black, rich soil to ashes, alternat-
ing with strata composed of soil and
ashes intermixed. 1t was in these strata
that human bones and fragments were
found. The skulls exhibit low facial
angle, and the teeth, some of which
dropped out, are as well preserved as if
drawn by dentist yesterday. There is
the skull of an old man, known from the
knitting together of the sutures, and
also one of an infant, of almost wafer
like thinness, and the several parts sepa-
rated at the sutures. Beside the skulls
there were found arrow and spear heads,
flint implements, knives, and avis for
sewing skins, made of bone, very hard
and polished; also, the bones of the
turtle, deer, and wild turkey, intermin-
gled with various fragments of carnivor-
GUS and browsing animals not yet iden-
titled. Great care was required in ex-
huminglthese remains, as the skulls were
liable to be broken by the pick.
The second cave explored was about a
mile distant from the former, and is
locally known as Ash cave, from the fact
that there is deposit of ashes from the
saltpeter manufactured there about thirty
years ago. These saltpeter operations
have so far disturbed the original de-
posts that nothing satisfactory could be
obtained, except one corpse. which was
found in a sitting posture, with the
knees drawn up to the face. With this
corpse was also found the nearly entire
skeleton, very much decayed, of an elk
or large-sized deer.-Missouri Repub-

Ladies' costumes that cost from $3.50
to 81, 900 each, without reference to dia-
monds and other costly jewels, can be
seen by the hundreds on fair days on the
streets and avenues, at receptions, church
services. etc.
1t is not uncommon to see q child OF
six or ten years Of age with seal skin
sacque and rich costume, the cost of
which fairly represents three months
! earnings of female employe of one of
the departments.
1t is also quite common to see some of
these same female employees wearing cos
tunes that have cost an amount of mon
ey equal to their pay for three or four,
or even sometimes six months.
There are families here with moderate
incomes who almost starve and half
clothe their children in order that they
may appear fairly in society. They
might live decently and comfortably but
for their foolish desire to shine socially.
There are probably, at this writing,
300 dwelling-houses in process OF con-
struction in the city, averaging in cost
from 81, 800 to $4,000 each, and there
will probably be 1000 such structures
completed during the coming season.
Not one department official in five, of
rank or respectability, lives within his
salary.
Many Congressman, who have paid
from $1,000 to $50, 900 by way of "elec-
ton expenses" to secure their seats, live
here at an annual expense of from twice
to four times their salary.
Two thousand dollars ora occasionally
paid for the flowers alone to adorn
mansion for an evening party or recep-
ton.

Costly Goats.

Mr.. John S. Harris, of California,
lately reached Baltimore with twelve
Angora goats, which he brought all the
way from Asia Minor, after a most ro-
mantle and difficult journey, occupying
a year. Mr.. Harris says that, including
all his expenses since leaving home, the
goats have thus far cost him 1926
piece in gold, or tot Il of $4,000, and
he has yet to take them across the con-
tinent to California by rail. Mr.. Harris
is middle.aged Scotchman, decidedly
modest, and does not think he has per-
formed remarkable journeying in the
wilds of Central and Western Asia.
Whenhe left California he and his partner
had LOO goats on their ranges, at Hol'
lister, Benito county, where he has been
seventeen years. He thinks he has
found that by proper breeding Califor-
MIA is especially adapted to producing
mohair woods.
