How Two Brothers Met.

AN interesting episode in the lives of
two excellent actors occurred on last
Sunday night, the time being midnight
and the place turnout on the North
western Railroad, about half way be-
tween Charleston and Florence. Mr..
Thomas Hunter, of the Janauschek
troupe, is an elder brother of Mr.. Har-
ry Hunter, the great comedian and the
Lone Fisherman of the Evangeline
Combination. The brothers, natives of
Boston, had not met for years. Tom
was passenger on the down train and
Harry on the up train, and both learned
to their profound sorrow that while
one train would stop on switch the
other would go laundering on. The
same idea occurred to each. They bore
in mind that they were in South Caro-
lima, and each appealed to the con-
ductor of his train. The appeal was
not in vain. As Mr.. Tom Hunter stood
on the rear platform, handkerchief in
hand. prepared to wave it to the pass
ing train, the latter Stacked speed. and
the elder brothers heart pulsated
quicker. What was his Joy when the
train stopped, and who shall depict the
scene, as, in the darkness of night and
in the swampy marsh of Carolina, they
grasped each others hand, and with u
few words hurriedly spoken and low
ing embrace, the brothers, thousand
miles from home, met and parted!-

Skin Of Flesh. Eating Animals.

TURNING to the structure of the
group, one of the first things that strikes
us is the looscness of their skin, which
instead Of being stretched on the body
as tightly as a drum parchment, as it is
in grass-eaters-for instance, the OK or
hippopotamus-is quite "baggy," hav-
ing between it and the flesh Of the beast
a layer of the loosest possible fibers. 1t
is for this reason that the skin of any
but very fat dog can be pinched up
so readily, while of a Herbivore it may
be said, in the words of eulogy uttered
by Mr.. Squeers of his son Wackford,
Here's firmness, here's solidness! why
you can hardly get up enough of him
between your fingers and thumb to
pinch him anywheres." In consequence
of this the operation of skinning a
lion or a bear is comparatively easy
one. After the first cut the beast may
be pulled out of its skin, almost with
out further use of the knife; while with
an antelope or an OK the skin has to
be cut away carefully and laboriously
from the underlying flesh. The use of
this loose skin will be very evident
to any one who will take the trouble
to watch the great cats playing togeth-
er at the Geological Gardens. They
are continually scratching one anoth-
er; but the loose skin is dragged round
by the claws which, in consequence,
can get no hold, and do no harm;
with tight skin, on the other hand,
the slightest scratch of such claw as a
tigers, would cause a serious wound.
The looseness of the skin is very evil
dent in the puma and jaguar, in which
it hangs in fold along the middle of
the belly, like great dewlap.-Cassen S

A Banks Death from Old Age.

There is something touching and adj
mirable in the death of the Chenango
Valley Savings Bank. 1t has run an
honorable career, is out of debt, and
comes to an end because of the death
OF SO many of its Directors and the
great old age of the survivors. Mr..
Berry, in the Assembly on Tuesday,
moved the immediate repeal of its char
ter. He made little speech, in which
1t is reported that he said the bank
owed nothing, but was unable to secure
a quorum of Trustees. owing to the
death of six out of thirteen, and the
great age of the remaining seven
They desired, therefore, to 20 out of
existence as bank. He asked that the
bill be passed now, which was done.
What contrast to the usual reports of
the winding up of savings banks! Is
there no elixir of life which will pro-
long the earthly existence of the sur
viving Directors, that they may be
passed around and shown as samples
Of what bank officials may be? We
fear we meier shall look upon their like
again. The report of the condition of
the bank shows that its resources are
$4,000, of which $4,000 is cash, and
$4,000 county bonds, scheduled as fol-
lows: "Cost, $4,000. Par value, 81 900.
Estimated market value, 81 .OOO." There
is surplus of $l3O.65 on hand. This
balance, though small, is on the right
side.-Uttca ~. W Republican.

CartnuSlanS.

A Carthusian Monastery is being
erected in the vicinity of London, the
buildings comprising which will cover
nine acres. According to the laws of
this religious order, each monk dwells
by himself, and is compelled to keep
perpetual silence. To mitigate some
what the severity of these rigorous
rules, he is allowed three rooms of
moderate size, which sometimes form
an individual house, and a small gar
den, which he is at liberty to cultivate.
The Carthusian Order of Monks was
founded by St. Bruno, in 1908. This
devotee, in company with six pious
friends, secluded himself from the
world in desert place near Char
treuse, iE the Diocese of Grenoble,
France. From the name of Chartreuse,
the Latin of which is Cartusium. the
order which he formed took its title
St. Bruno and his companions dwelt in
separate cells, seeing one another only
on Sundays. They wore coarse gar
ments and subsisted wholly on vegeta-
bles and bread. The rules of the order
were written out in 1884, by Guigo, the
fifth Prior of La Chartreuse. The Pope
expressed his approval of the order in
ITO, and from that date it increased
rapidly. In 11SO-'81 the Carthusians
appeared in England, and the name of
their monasteries was then corrupted
from Chartreuse-houses to Charter
houses. An Order of Carthusian Nuns
was established in France in 1929; but
the law of silence, being regarded as
more oppressive to women than men,
was not SO vigorously insisted upon as
in the case of the monks Chicaog

Mehemet Ali, the warlike ruler of
Egypt, took Syria and Cilicia, and was
about to lay siege to Constantinople
itself, when Turkey besought the assist
ance of Russia, and the conqueror's
steps were stayed. In 1848, after the
partition of Poland, England appeared
as Turkeys special protector against
the grasping ambition of the surround
ing Nations, which appeared ready to
fall upon the Empire at the first con-
venient opportunity and divide its ter
ritory between them. The motives
which led England to take this course,
and to pursue it steadily from that
time until now, are too well known to
require recapitulation. In 1866 the
Cretan insurrection commenced, and
peace was not definitely concluded be-
tween the Nations until 1869. In 1874
Roumania and Montenegro began to
move for reforms; in 1876 Servia de-
clared war, and on April "a, 1877, the
present conflict began. Thus, it will
be seen, the forces at work both with
in and without the Empire have seemed
steadily to conspire for it's disintegra-
ton and final overthrow; and whatever
the protecting Powers may sec fit to
insist upon in the peace now being
concluded, the ultimate doom of the
Ottoman Empire in Europe is as sure
ly sealed as the march of events is sure
ly irresistible and finally irreversible.

An Actors Narrow Escape.

Somebody having written a blood
thirsty drama, entitled the "Wain-
wright Tragedy FOUNDED upon very
horrible murder that took place short
time since, in which man was discov-
cred carrying in a cab a lot of parcels
containing fragments of the body of
the poor woman he had wearicd of and
then put out of the worldly, it was being
acted at a travelling theater at a coun-
try-town in Leicestershire. The play
hadproceeded all right, the audience, Of
course, enjoying the horrors immense
ly. when. in the final scene. the hero
was brought up, duly pinioned, to be
hanged. The rope was adjusted about
his neck, and the curtain was about to
fall upon the last dying agonies. when
somehow the stool on which the actors
feet should really haverested got pushed
aside, and the man was all but hanged
in earnest. He was promptly cut down,
of course, when his struggles and gasp
ings for breath were perceived, but he
was quite black in the face, poor fellow!
Doubtless, after this pleasing incident
the play, unless suppressed by the po-
lice, will draw better than ever.-Lon-

Wonders Of Greenland.

MIR. CLEMENTS MARKHAM last night,
at the London Institution, gave lee
ture on Greenland. His history of the
early discoveries included the voyage of
Eric the Red and curious expedition
of clergymen in the thirteenth century
from the Bishopric of Gardar, in the
south of Greenland, toward the I'M
known north. The Norsemen built
churches and villages on the rare green
strips up the fiords, but the savages de-
stroyed them; and for three centuries
Greenland was closed. Hall was the
first Englishman who laid his bones on
the shore of Greenland. In 1921 HAIRS
Egede, the apostle Of the Esquimax,
landed in Greenland. 1t has been found
impossible to penetrate for any distance
into the vast interior. The natives be-
lieve it to be inhabited by enormous
and malignant beings. It is $4,000
square miles in extent, the whole being
mass of ice. A Danish Professor in
1920 made his way for thirty miles
inland, and described the scene he saw.
There is nothing but a white world
supporting blue vault. From far be-
low ones feet there comes up a moan
ing noise, the voice of rivers flowing
far beneath. Occasionally there are
loud reports from the opening of a
cleft, a vast mass of water pierces it's
way in the ice down to the underlying
granite itself, for thousands of feet. At
thirty miles from the coast the height
above the sea was 1900 feet, and the
ice was still RISING. A wonderful sight
is that of the colossal rivers, deep and
broad, which flow between tall blue
banks, ndpour at the end of their course
down cleft with mighty cascade,
which is conspicuous from a distance BY
the cloud of mist which always hangs
above it. On the strips of the land
near the coast the Greenland flora,
though scanty, is very pleasant to the
eye. Vegetation covers the ground in
thick masses, forming turf in the level

ing ledum paluster, and the snowy,
purple blossoms of the epilobium al
pinum. The study of Greenland botany,
interesting in itself, derives special inn
portance from the hypothesis to which
its remarkable character has given rise.
Sir j. Hooker suggests that the Scandi-
navian flora, which is one of the oldest in
the globe, extended during the
warm period preceding the glacial over
the whole Polar regions, including
Greenland and Arctic America. On
the arrival Of the glacial period, the
flora was driven slowly southwark to
the extremity of the Greenland PENN
sula in its longitudes, and to ATTITUDES
of the Allegheny and White Mountains
in their longitudes. The effect in
Greenland would be to leave there only
the more active forms of vegetation, the
rest being, as it were, driven into the
sea. On the decline of the glacial
period, Greenland could be rcpcopled
with plants only by the northwald mi
grafton of the Scandinavian species. In
America, the Scandinavian plants
would ascend the Alleghanies, and
many plants which had been driven out
Of Greenland, but preserved in south
crn ATTITUDES of North America, would
reappear in Parry Islands and Labra-
dor. Mr.. Markham dwelt upon specu-
lations like these, and upon facts con-
nectcd with the mincralogy, meteorol-
ogy, ethnology, ETC., of Greenland, to
show the value of Arctic exploration
for its contributions to science, as we'll
as for the encouragement of that mari
time enterprise to which our country
owes so much of its greatness and re-
nown.-LOndOn Times.
