The Stone and Clay Builders of
Arabia.

The aspect of Arabia is that OF de-
cayed country. While the ancient
Arabians bored deep wells in the rock,
walled them with stone, and built stone
houses, their Moslem successors were
clay builders, and now the Bedouins
only dig shallow pits with their hands
and stick. Among the oldest Arab
ian remains are huge erect stones such
as would be called Druidical in Britain,
and buildings of huge irregular blocks,
such as are commonly called Cyclic
pean or Pelasgian. Monuments of I'M
certain age, built of unhewn stone, are
frequent in the valleys and on the sur
face of the Harrat Cor butte) clancy
rid, near Medyin Saith. They are shap-
ed like beehiYes, and are about twelve
feet high, and twenty-five across. In
one place $50 of them stood together.
Each is built over a sepulchral cell.
access to which is obtained through
a hole in the top.

Actors Not PariahS.

When a youth, well brought up, takes
to the stage, he should not be immedi-
ately treated as pariah. On the con-
trary, if ever there be a time in young
mans career when, more than ever,
he stands in need of good home tradi-
tons, the companiOnship of his equals,
and the encouragement Of his superb
ors, it is when be has honestly chosen,
as a means of earning his living, the
stage as a profession. That, for evil
dent reasons, it has been usually select
ed by the dissoI1te, the idle, and those
to whom any restraint is distastcful,
accounts to a great extent for the dis
repute in which the stage has been
held. OF course the statute book and
the Puritanism of the seventeenth CEN
fury have much to answer for in the
popular estimate of the players. There
is a strong leaven of Puritanism among
us, and, in some respects, so much the
better; but also among very excellent
people of various religious opinions
there has been, and it exists now. a
sort of vague idea that the stage has
always been under the positive ban of
the church. In the temporary laws
and regulations of different countries,
enforced by narrow-minded men, civil
or ecclesiastical, may be found the or
igin of this mistaken notion. The
church has never pronounced on the
stage the anathema. On the contrary,
she has patronized the stage, and the
first mines who entered France from
Italy rather resembled members of a
religious order in their pious fervor
than actors of later date in their lax
ity. If players were refused Christian
burial, it was when they had neither
lived nor died as even nominal Christ
ianS, and in such cases even manned
rites" would SAVIOR of hypocrisy. In
France the actors themselves were I'M
der this hallucination. M. Regnier
tells us how in 1913 a deputation OF
comedians went to Mgr. Attire to ask
him to get the sentence of eXcommuni-
cation removed from the theatrical pro-
fessiOn. In the time of Louis XIII. the
actors We're excellent churchgoers, had
their children baptized, frequented the
sacraments, and were on the best terms
with the cures of Paris; and it will be 4
consolation to those actors among us
who, like the doll in the song, ''pine
for higher society,"" to be reminded
that the grand monarch himself did
not disdain to stand godfather to the
first born of Moliere, and to do the
like office to the third child of Domen-
leo Biancolelli, the Italian harlequin. T.

Family Feeling Among Cats.

Il had two she cats" says Dupont
de Nemours; ''they were mother and
daughter. The mother had produced
her kittens on certain day. and they
had been all left with her. The daugh-
ter gave birth to her first litter on the
following day, and was very i'll. She
lost consciousness and motion with the
birth of the last kitten. The mother
went round and round her, lavishing
on her all the expressions of maternal
tenderness, which are very numerous
in the vocabulary of catlanguage.. Per
ceiving at last that the care she was
expanding upon her daughter was in
vain, she busted herself, like good
grandmother with the little creatures,
crawling in a desolate and orphaned
condition upon the ground, licked all
the litter, and finally carried them to
the bed of her own children, where she
shared her milk with them.
"a full hour afterward the young cat
came to her senses, looked for her little
ones, and found her mother nursing
them. There was great joy on both
sides, and many touching expressions
OF attention and gratitude were ex-
changed. The two mothers establish
ed themselves in the same basket, and
while the educational period lasted,
they never left it except separately.
One always remained on duty. Thus
they nursed, caressed and impartially
reared the seven kittens, of whom three
belonged to the daughter and four to
the grandmother. From Mrs. Hoey S

Precautions in Taking Stimulants

l. Never take stimulants in moments
of extreme exhaustion. That is pre-
cisely the time and state when there is
especial peril Of discharging the last re-
mains OF energy and leaving the nerY-
Gus centres too exhausted and power
less to recuperate. There is in nervous
action, as in mechanical motion, dead
point at which inertia becomes immi-
nent. 2. Never take more Of Stimu-
liant than will suffice to stir the ener-
gies gently. If you want to incite q
horse to action you must not whip him
more than will suffice to rouse him. If
more than this be done strength will
be exhausted by irritation. B. Never
forget that stimulants are excitants,
and only when they excite to recupera-
ton. e., to the formation of new re-
serves of strengthens well as to the
consumption of the strength in hand,
can they be useful or even safe. 4.
never persist in the use of stimulants
for the alienation Of feelings of mental
or muscular weakness or WEAKNESS, if
the relief obtained is followed by ode
preston Of Spirits GOODNESS of the
feet, or ''prostration," either of mind
or body; because when these conse-
quenceS ensue after a temporary revival
OF tone and power it is manifest that
the recuperatiye faculty is either not
properly stimulated or is itself exhaust
ed, and harm instead of good is being
done by the stimulation. Good Words.

A Mind Above Trifles.

A large, healthy and equable temper
ament ought to be able to occupy itself
with those questions, the grandeur OF
which crowds from the mind the multi
tude of little splenetic emotions, which
are like the pricking of poisoned pins.
We 90 not mean to say that q study OF
logarithms will console the man who is
suffering from wounded love, or that
relentless course of logic is a panacea
for disappointment and ingratitude.
And yet it is true that when the brain
is fully absorbed in some work the
soreness of the heart ceases for the time
to be felt. The question is how to i'm
pei a nature not of the strongest to sue
cessfully seek this form of distraction.
For here it is not the first step only
which costs, but every step. The eff
fort of the will has to be incessant. It
has to be sustained in the midst Of
heart-beatings that will not be stilled,
and the probability is that when SO
many perturbations exist the DETECTION
will be great. Besides, the consolation
offered by what is generally. called
pleasure is much easier. Sensual en-
joyment can so readily and cheaply be
attained, and, at any rate while the
senses are young and the colors Of lie
vivid, that temporary relief is certain.
Persons of strong and rightly fashioned
wills can, of course, easily do what they
wish in creating a legitimate self-diVer-
sion; but this sort of will does not u.s.
ually reside, along with lofty intellect,
in a nature in which the softer emo
tons have considerable sway.-Tbe

Chinese Tangle-fOOt.

oamtchoo is the famous drink of
China. It is made from rice. The
grain is stepped twenty or thirty days
in water and then gently boiled. When
it is soft and pulpy and completely di-
luted by the heat it is allowed to fer
ment in watts of glazed earthenware.
The yeast is made from wheat, several
wholesome ingredients being added
during the process of fermentation,
such as fruits and flowers to impart a
pleasant flavor and color. At the end
of several days it is drawn off into
glazed vessels, where a second process
of fermentation goes on. 1t is then
shipped in jars all over the empire.
The lees are distilled and yield a strong
liquor In the Loo Choo Islands,
south of Japan, this liquor is common
and very Intoxicating, but the natives
counterfeit the effect of it by using the
oil from a fish, to-do-noero. 4 small
fish, sort of seal covered with hair,
having four feet like hog. This is
considered a cure for drunkenness.

The Gift of Expression.

Every grade of intelligence, from
common dizziness to talent of the high
est and most brilliant order, depends
for its degree upon the possession and
use of this power gift of express
sion. Expression is commonly associ-
ated with speech; we use it, however,
in the more general sense of whatever
tends to make public the inner life.
Conversation, public speaking, all
writings, paintings and songs, inven-
tions of every kind, and every act, pub
lie and private, which goes to make up
lifes history; all these are channels
for the expression of human nature.
Genius, to be real, must give forth true
expression; and it is not genius unless
it meets with the stamp of public ap-
proval. All may not be able to tell
what is in them, but all can recognize
the truth of what is told. The utter
ances of genius may fall temporarily
upon dull ears, and the utterer sink,
discouraged, into an obscure grave,
for genius can not live without its COM
pliment of appreciation; but in the
progress of the race, point is reached
where the truths his utterance crystal
lied are seen to shine forth in all their
beauty, and thenceforth his name is
canOniZed

Show the Children Respect.

It will surprise many parents to have
it suggested that they should treat their
children courteously and respectfully.
Yet it is the best education that can be
impaired to them. Parents are apt to
think that children should be subject
to authority and are not to be consulted.
But why not? 1t teaches them to ex-
ercise Judgment and imparts sef-re-
spect. The Initiative quality in chill
dren leads them to reproduce what is
most striking in their parents, unless
they have sufficiently positive indi-
viduality to map out characters for
themselves. Thus, many children re-
produce the leading characteristics Of
the parent who commands most their
regard. So, to treat them harshly, or
even imperatiyely, is to create an auto
cratic disposition in them. 1t is not
love trait. Self-respeet and equipoise
Of character are very different from
domineering propensity, which AFRO
gates authority everywhere.

age, carefully nursed and richly clothed
and guarded tenderly by its elders, was
driving by the orphans home the other

many childish voices in the yard where
the children were at play. It eagerly
asked: ''Oh, mamma, what is that?"
They are poor little orphans, without
any parents" impressiyely answer the
mother, hugging her darling closer.

TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES POWERS.

Judge Elliott Renders Decision of Especial
Interest at This Period.
In overruling the petition for rehearing in
the case of Union School Township of Mont
gomery county vs. The First National Bank,
Judge Elliott of the Supreme Court, files long
opinion, in which the powers of school trustees
and the liabilities of townships are defined
clearly and strongly. At this juncture, when
the township affairs in various counties are in a
muddle. the opinion makes interesting reading
The court says:
I'VE are clear that the trustee of school cor
poration is a special agent of very limited au-
thority. Not only is he special agent. but he is
one also whose authority is only such as public
statute confers upon him. 1t is per-
trustee must, at his peril, ascertain that the
trustee is acting within his authority. 1t is in
cumbent on a person seeking to hold the cor
poration liable for debt created by the trustee,
in the name of the corporation,
to afirmatively show that it was
one he had authority to incur. It is
true that we have held that where the money
received on notes executed in the name of the
school corporation went to pay for property act
ually received by it. the person advancing the
money would be subrogated to the claims of the
person who actually furnished the property,
butwe have steadily held that it is only in cases
property purchased that subrogation could take
place. 1t is well known that subrogation arises
not by contract but by force of equitable princi-
pies, and only in cases where good conscience re-
quires that it should take place in order to pre-
vent injustice"

ANOTHER DEPARTURE.
Trustee ThOrp, of Harrison County, Joins the
Growing Colony In Canada.

Trustee ThOrp, of Harrison County, Joins the
Growing Colony In Canada.
New Albany Ledger, Yesterday.
Gentlemen who arrived in the city from Cory
don this morning bring the report that Trustee
Henry A. Thorp has left the county, and the pre-
sumption is that he has gone to join the other
fugitives from justice and swindlers of the tax
payers in Canada. Thorp came from Kentucky
to Harrison county, and it is possible he may
haye hied himself away to the mountain fast
nesses Of his native State. he has been missing
from his home, however for about week.
Thorp's total issue of the orders of Morgan
township, Harrison county, is not known. 1t
certainly exceeds sc, 900, and there are reports
that it reaches 100000. Probably the last
named figure is a great exaggeration. At all
events. however. he has put out orders very
largely in excess OF the demands of the township
and the limit of township Indebtedness fixed by
the amendment TO the State Constitution.
There is great excitement in Morgan town
ship and throughout Harrison county over
Trustee Thorps proceedings 1t is said his over
issue Of township orders was first brought to
light by Hon. Stanton j. Peelle, of indianapolis
three weeks ago. 1t is also stated that when
Thorp left his home mis- wife accompanied him as
far as Louisville. He was one of the now notori-
Gus Pollards victims, and it is probable that
after he commenced his career he worked Nor
gan township for all there was in sight, both in
orders and money
