"There vas very sad case in police court this morning" said lawyer to his wife.
 A girl was arrested for stealing a fine lace veil. The woman who owned the veil came to court, and, with heart lessness, persisted in prosecuting the poor girl. The judge, however, would not allow himself to be influenced, so he released the girl"
 She did not prove that sho was in- nocent. did sheS"
 "Oh, mo-"
 "Then why did the judge release herr"

Beard ana Conscience.

< gentleman wHo was up before a court for stealing cattle had long black beard. The prosecuting attorney in his speech to the jury did not spare the feelings of the accused. He called the unfortunate man all manner of hard names. AS a parting shot he said:
 "Yes. gentlemen of the jury, the pris- oner at the bar has a conscience as black as his beard"
 If that's so, then you haven't got any conscience at all.
 The presiding judge, whose face Is clean-shaven, smiled, as did the jury.
 As most of the jury had smooth faces they yelled mot guilty" without leaving their seats.

q APPETIzERs. i
Eiu Nye .on Ta1idermy.

This name is from two Greek words. which signify arrangement" and ''ekin, " So that the ancient Greeks no doubt re- garded taxidermy as the original skin- game of the period. Taxidermy did not flourish in America prior to the year 1928.
 Ac that time an Englishman named Scudder established a museum and gen. eral repository for upholstered beasts.
 Since then the art has advanced quite rapidly. To properly taxiderm requires tine taste and close study of the sub- ject itself in life, akin to the requirements necessary in order to succeed as a sculp- tor. 1 have seen.. taxidermed animals that would not fool anybody.
 I recall at this time especially noun tain lion, stuffed after death by party who had not made the matter subject of close study. This lion was represent ed in crouching attitude, with open jaws and red gums.
 As time passed on, and year succeeded year, this lion continued to crouch. His tail became less rampant and dropped like hired man on hot day. His gums became less fiery red, and his reddish skin hung over his bones in loose and distraught manner, like an old buffalo robe thrown over the knees of vinegary old maid.
 Spiders spun their webs across his dull, white fangs. Mice made their nests in his abdominal cavity. His glass eye became hopelessly strabismused, and the moths left him baldheaded on the stomach.
 He was a sad commentary on the ex- tremely transitory nature of all things terrestrial and the hollowness of the stuffed beast.
 I also had @ stuffed bird for long time, which showed the cunning of the suffer to great degree. It afforded me a great deal of unalloyed pleasure, be cause liked to get old hunters to look at it and tell me what kind of a bird il was. They did not generally agree.
 The bird had ducks body, the head of q common eagle, and the feet of 6 sage hen. These parts had been adjusted with great care, and the tail loaded with lead somehow, so that the powerful head would not tip the bird up behind.
 With this rara avis, to use foreign term, loved to amuse and instruct old hunters, who had been hunting all their lives for free drink, and hear them tell how they had killed hundreds of these birds over on the Poudre in an early day, or over near the Elk mountain when the country was new.

 "Oh, yes, indeed. I shall miss your locket and chain dreadfully."

CHARLESTON.
Something About the Beautiful City by the
Sen.

The site of the city OF Charleston was orig
inally settled in 1863 by party Of English col
onists under Col. William Sayle, but IL was not
until after the Revolution that the present city
WINS incorporated-in 1888. 1t has since extend.
ed from the limited boundaries OF colonial
days until it embraces twelve large wards, and
had population, according to the census OF
1889, of 1894. Two main streets-Meeting and
King-penetrate the city from north TO south,
running almost parallel, and these are inter
sected at right angles by cross streets running
from Cooper TO Ashley River. All streets are
well paved and lighted by gas and in
some of them the electric light has been in
troduced. There is but little uniformity ns the
style of the houses, all classes of architecture
being represented in one street. but among the
buildings which have been shattered by the
force of the earthquake were some Of the most
elaborate structures, and some which have been
exhibited with pride as landmarks OF Reyolu-
tionary days The mild and equable climate Of
the city is conductive TO the healthy growth OF
foliage, and nearly every house has it's little
fower-garden, while many are embowered in
trees, presenting pictures OF beauty which are
seldom seen in the limits of Northern city.
Charleston is one of the most interesting
cities in the country 1t is one OF the few South
ern cities which retain all the Od customs Pc
culiar to the South. 1t is n very moral city
Only on rare occasions is there any drunken
ness or disorder. and it is said that there are
fewer people in Jail there than in any OF the
large cities. The architecture is also Pc
cular to the town. The houses mostly
low and broad; they have large COM
modious piazzas extending around the en-
tire building and, strange to say all the en-
frances are from the side IL IL very rare to
find a front door. The gardens are surrounded
by high walls and completely shut out the
house from the street.
The colored people there far outnumber the
whites. there being 30.0o0 or 10000. They
monopolize most OF the trades-are tailors, car
penters,. blacksmths-and leave very few open
ings for white labor. They also are usually
moral, sober, industrious, and form very
necessary part of the society.

Singular Sights Witnessed in Chesapeake
bay.

The officers OF the revenue cutter Ewing,
which cruising in the Chesapeake Bay
during the shock, had peculiar experience.
Between IL and ~ o'clock on the night of the
earthquake strong gale came from the north,
catching the Ewing In the vicinity of Smith 8
Point. All at once there was a strange and
weird appearance about everything. Nothing
looked natural. In the heavens the stars were
shooting in all directions. and the breaking seas
were charged with phosphorus TO such pro-
nounced degree that no one on board recoltected
ever seeing such display. The fixed stars
seemed To move and balls of fire first appeared
on one bow, then on the other, which the pilot
thought were vessels lights and he kept IN
anxious watch as he progressed. 1t was only
when they became general that the pilot found
they were due TO an atmospherical disturbance.
haze peculiar TO earthquake countries was
visible along the horizon, and it excited the in
terest Of Lieutenant Brann, who had had a
thrilling experience under the same circum-
stances at africa, Peru, when, as an officer OF
the United States steamer Wateree he was
carried ashore on that vessel by the great tidal
wave and earthquake of 1863. During the
strange proceeding the Ewing was brought 70
anchor in Cornheld harbor, inside the Potomac.

ORIGIN OF THE EARTHQUAKES.
Professor McGee's Investigations - Why
Charleston Was Not Obliterated by IA
Tidal Wave.

Professor w. j. MCGEE, OF the United States
Geological Survey, who went to Charleston to
investigate the origin Of the earthquake, gives
il as his opinion that the disturbances were the
result OF subterranean land slides; that is
that they had no connection with volcanic
action, and extended from forty to one hundred
miles under the bed OF the sea. Professor
MCGEE accounts for the absence OF a tidal wave
by the fact that the movement was from west
to east. thus carrying its wave out to sea. Had
the movement been in the opposite direction
there would have doubtless been enormous
tidal wave TO land, in which event the city
OF Charleston would have been swept from
the face Of tho earth and probably its entire
population drowned Tidal waves" says the
Professor, are likely 20 come at any time in
this region because OF the settling Of the earth,
and there is danger of submerson. In New
Jersey whole forests have been sunk beneath
the water along the coast, and small trees are
still growing beneath IL at this time Pro-
fessor McGee visited Summerville, around
which the earthquake was particularly violent,
and paid particular attention to the matter
which was thrown up from the craters, which
are numerous thereabout. One cavity created
by the shocks was found to be sixteen feet in
diameter and sixteen feet in depth. The
Charleston NeSCs and Courier says there can be
no doubt that the earthquake shocks had their
origin in the islands of the Mediterranean and
in Greece ind Italy.

THE SITUATION.
People Deserving the City-Liberal Cash
Contributions Pouring In.

Advioes from Charleston report the excite
ment abating. Business has been resumed
and as n means to aid the city, the special
trade OF the surrounding section is invoked It
Is believed that 10000 TO 10000 persons are
sheltered by tents. The assistance of a
corps of Government engineers has been
requested for the purpose of making exam
nations and dismantling ruined structures.
Aid is being literally subscribed throughout the
country for the sufferers The proceeds of a
days racing at Brighton Beach, N. Y.
1,OO0 were contributed. Savannah sent
Sc, O00 Baltimore $4,000. Philadelphia SlS,-
600. The New York Cotton Ex-
change has subscribed nearly $4,000. the Stock
Exchange n similar amount, the Produce FIX
change SC, 900. The Relief Committee are hard
at work. Additional tents have been placed in
the public squares, and for the colored people
comfortable wooden shelters have been erected
on Marion Square. There Is accommodation al
ready for 1900 colored refugees, and 625
slept In shelter last night. The Subsistence
Committee will meet regularly and supply pro-
visions to all who are needy and unable TO sup
port themselves There is still a strong DISPOSE
| tion to remove the women and children from the
| city 10 spare them further danger and anxiety
The railroads are issuing free passes, and many
are availng themselves of this chance to get
away from what they look upon as doomed
| city.

HISTORIC CHURCHES.
st. MichacI's and st. Philips. Two OF the
Oldest Religious Edifices In America.

ST. Michaels Church. which Is now in ruins,
was one OF the oldest churches in America, and
certainly the most interesting. It's history dates
way back before the Revolutionary War, when
the Episcopalians first founded churches in this
country. During the last war it was a target
for our batteries stationed on Morris Island.
From IL could be had view OF the entire city
and bay 1t was the church where the old fam
lilies resorted. Uncovered, shaded by huge
trees, it stood landmark. and the whole
town dwelt under its shadow until il seemed
to exert paternal influence. When its bells
rang out the people said it was calling its chill
dren TO prayer. In its destruction n blow is
struck ut the old regime from which it cannot
recover.
ST. Philips was also an old church, nearly as
old as St. Michael's. Here lies inferred the
body OF John G. Calhoun. The pews were all
those great box-pews, in which one seemed to
enter n closet. The backs were higher than
the head and there was IN air OF antiquity
about it suggestive OF those old English cathe-
drals. The people here are very pious. the
principal denominations being Episcopal and
Presbyterian. The Bishop OF Peterborough
first sent n minister to Charleston, and he built
several churches

THE "GREAT SHAKE"
A History of the subterranean Disturb
ances of I811-12.

During the year 1911 occurred what Is known
as the Great Shake" which destroyed New
Madrid, in Missouri, and affected the whole
Mississippi valley, The center OF its violence
was thought to DO near Little Prairie, twenty
FIVE miles below New Madrid the vibrations
from which were felt over the valley OF the
Ohio as high up as Pittsburgh. New Madrid,
having suffered more than any other town on
the Mississippi from its effects, was considered
as situated near the focus from whence the un-
dulation proceeded. At this period there
was danger apprehended from the
Southern Indians, and for safety
the persons engaged I'm carrying their
produce In boats TO New Orleans kept In COM
pany for mutual defense. In the middle OF the
night OF the 10th Of December there was ter
rible shock and jarrng of the boats, so that the
crews were all awakened, and hurried on deck
with weapons of defense in their hands, think
| ing the Indians were rushing on board. The
ducks, geese and other aquatic birds on the
river were thrown into the greatest tumult,
| and with loud screams expires sed their alarm
| The noise and oommotion soon became hushed

An Elaborate Series OF Questions Prepared
by Government Savants.

The Geographical Survey ut Washington, in
pursuance of the purpose of the Director to
make thorough study OF the phenomena Of
the earthquake of Aug. 81. has prepared a cir
cular t. be sent to all parts of its affected area
and the adjacent country, calling for detailed
information upon the subject from whomsoever
may have information, even Of an apparently
trivial character TO impart. The observer is
requested first to state his own position,
whether in doors or out, up stairs or down.
whether standing, walking, or sitting and TO
describe the ground OF his locality, whether
rocky earthly, or sandy Following this IL is de-
sired that series Of questions shall be an
swered categorically. Hardly any fact, how
ever apparently insignificant regarding this
great earthquake will not come amiss, and IL is
probable, fiom the mass of information to be
gathered, data OF great scientific value will be
deduced The study of phenomena Of this
kind is claimed to be OF great value 70 science
ns n guide TO knowledge of the nature Of the
earths interior, and for its bearing upon almost
every branch OF physics and geology.
