A joke is a mystery to some people. In
a certain court in Maine once on time the
proceedings were delayed by the failure of
a witness named Sarah Mony to arrive.
After waiting long time for Sarah the
court concluded to wait no longer, and
wishing to crack his little joke, remarked:
This court will adjourn without Sarah
mony." Everybody laughed except one
man, who sat in solemn meditation for five
minutes, and then burst into a hearty guf-
faw, cXcIaiming: Il see ii, | see it,"
When ne went home he tried to tell the joke
to his wife. There was witness named
Mary Mony who didn't come, ," said he,
''and 80 the court said: Well adjourn with
out Mary -mony.'" Il don't see any point
to that" said his wife. i know it. said
he. Il didn't at first; but you will in about

Brown had beaten his way from Cincinnati

An Electrical Engineer.

There are two roads to take if YOU
wish to become an electrical engineer.
Although this occupation of electrical
engineering is so new, there are three
colleges in our country where the theo-
retical part of the profession is taught,
namely: The stevens Institute of Tech
nology, at Hoboken, New Jersey: the
University of Pennsylvania; and the
Massachusetts Institute are the best
known. Ii a young man has gone
through the theoretical and partially
practical training to be had in either of
these institutions, he does not require n
great deal of actual experience in doing
the work itself to fit him for undertak-
ing almost any task pertaining to the
calling.
But some boys may not be able to
spare the time or pay the money for this
collegiate part of the training. In that
case. they endeavor to find employment
in one of the factories of the great COM
panies | have mentioned. To obtain
admission. however, they must be bright,
they must give good promise in the
taste they have for mechanical pursuits,
as well as in their habits. that they are
suited for the profession they seek to en-
ter. Having obtained an entrance,
they begin as ordinary employees. do
ing the simplest kind of work or even
drudgery; then they are transferred
from one department to another, learn
ing a little at each step they take; until,
finally, they have good knowledge of
the manufacturing branch of the pro-
fcssiOn.
From there they should go to the la
boratory, where they obtain the scien-
tific knowledge of the business. To
know how the different parts are put to-
gether is not of itself sufficient; they
must be able to tell why they are put to-
gether in that particular way: it is just
that knowledge which makes them cleo
trical engineers.
Then they are sent out as assistants
to the various electric-lighting stations
or are temporarily placed in charge of
plants which have just been established,
and which some amateur engineer is.
learning how to run. Finally they may
be put in charge of lighting station,
that is, a building from which the light
ing power is furnished for the lamps in
the immediate neighborhood; and last
ly, they may become members of the
engineering corps, and put up the elee-
trio lights for some people in the MAN.

A California Lizards Queer Trick.

''There are some curious cases among
the geckos," said a Los Angeles country
naturalist. Here is one dead that is
called the leaf-tail gecko. You see the
tail bulges out soon after leaving the
body and assumes leaf or arrow shape;
hence the name of the animal. Now,
when the little creature is chased you
will see it dodge around limb and
hold up the curious leaf-like tail. That
is all you can see. and so naturally,
would think it a part of the tree itself
But the lizard has a more remarkable
method of scape yet. We will imagine
that you have tried to pluck the leaf
The animal drops clumsily to the ground
and darts away among the rocks, where
it attracts the attention of some of the
hawks that are forever prowling around.
Immediately a chase enslles; the bird
gains, and is finally about to pounce
upon its prey, when all at once two liz
ards appear, one making off, while the
other dances up and down into the air
and along the ground in a mysterious
way, so that the astonished bird stops
and looks. In the meantime the origi-
nal lizard escapes; the other. that is
really the tail, soon becomes quiescent.
You see the gecko has the faculty of
throwing off its tail when hard pressed.
and, while the pursuer's attention is
drawn to the squirming member, the
animal itself escapes
''But it loses its tail?" suggested the
reporter
Only for time. They can repro
duce this organ, and curiously enough,
sometimes two tails are produced in
stead of one San Francisco CAL.

Origin ofthe Word Texas.


In recent article published in the
North american ReUiew, Gov. Ireland,
of Texas, asserts that the word Texas
means welcome" and that on the
landing of the first white men on the
coast of Texas the Indians greeted them
with the exclamation of .sTexas!'' or
welcomer'
This theory, according to corre-
spondent in the Texas Vor7caerts. is not
correct. In the ancient Spanish
archives, stored away in the land office
at Austin it appears that certain lands
were situated zen et pals de los TEXAS"
or, in the country of the Texas, or Tejas
Indians, X and j being pronounced alike.
1t is well-known that the Texas or
TEXAS Indians We're a tribe of Indians
living in the valley of the Rio Grande,
who were exterminated or driven off by
more savage tribe. The word Texas
or TEXAS is the root of the names of all
the Indian tribes in Texas and Mexico.
The prefix indicated the locality of the
tribe

deigned no more replies. Suddenly the
whistle of the locomotive gave long,
low moan, the conductor stuck his ewes
still closer TO the window, seemed to
fasten his gaze upon some object in the
darkness, and then fell back in his seat
with cry of despair upon his lips.
The passengers gathered round to in
quire the nature of the trouble, when

and led him into the baggage car. The

that if all was well with the little one

MUMMIEs FOUND IN PERU.

The ancient city of Pachacamac
was long, long ago the Mecca of
South America. The name means
"He who animates the Universe. It
was resort of pilgrims from far and
near, and also the burial-place of
tens of thousands of ancient dead,
and from study of many mummies
found there has much light been Civ.
en- to old-time customs.
Many of these were enveloped in
braided network or sack of rushes or
coarse grass, bound closely about the
body by plated cords; just beneath
these coverings were wrappers of
stout. plain cotton cloth, fastened by
gay cord of llama wool, and about
and next the body a garment of finer
texture; the body itself revealed
mahogany-colored surface.
The implements of the persons
trade were inclosed among these
many wrappings, also a copper coin.
About women mummies were wrap
ped finer cloth, and always comb
grasped in one hand; this seemed as
if made from the rays of fishes fins,
having for handle the hard, woody
part of the dwarf palm. In the 9TH
er hand lay cane handled fan, its
ornamentation the feathers of parrots
and humming-birds.
About the neck were three strings
of shells, and, as with the men, do
mestic implements lay between the
various coverings ancient spin
die for cotton. spinning, half covered
with spun thread, as if death had
surprised the woman busy with her
daily toll.
If mummy was discovered seated
upon work-boX containing bits of
knlttingwork, weaving implements,
skeins and spools of thread, needles
of bone and bronze, comb. knife,
fan-the small domestic properties
given to one opening to fair sweet
womanhood-then was it understood
that maiden in her youth and beam
ty had been laid away; that the
sleep of death had come with unex-
pected summons. for at hand were
her cosmetic tubes-bird bones, these
with wad of cotton to close the OPP
ening, and with some sort of little
mill for grinding and preparing the
pigments. Added to these was a
mirror-a piece of iron pyrites shap-
ed like half an egg, the plane side of
it highly polished.
The maiden's hair was braided; a
thin narrow bracelet encircled one
arm; there was also an ornamental
golden butterfly; and between the
feet of the young girl lay the dried
body of a pet bird-oftenest a parrot
was thus honored.

The Winter of the Year.

1t is the winter of the year!
O'er buried flowers the snow riffs lie;
The storms have yelled with ashen gray
The blueness of the summer sky.
No brooks in babbling ripples run,
No birds are singing in the hedge,
No violets nodding in the sun
Beside the brooklet's frozen edge;
Yet to the leafess, broken boughs,
The greenest moses closely cling,
And near the stern winters stormy verge
Soft float prophetic airs of spring.
1t is the winter of our life
, Ger buried hope the snow riffs lie,
And storms have veiled with ashen gray
The blueness of cloudless sky,
No light steps cross the threshold stone,
No voice of love our welcome greet,
No gentle hand enclasps our own
With cordial salutations sweet,
Yet unto bruised and broken hearts
Endearing words of promise cling,
And float upon times stormy verge,
Bright blossoms of eternal spring.
