how it was that he was always provided with
stories that no one ever heard until he told
them. His reply was characteristic: Il

added: "Now, I'll explain how that is" and
then he went on to say that story once told
is public property, and no man can claim it
afterward or tell it again with certainty
that it will fall against unfamiliar ears. He
said that he had found that a man who leads
an active life is constantly provided with ma
terlals for good stories. He sees queer peo-
pie, gets an insight into quaint characters,
observes the humorous incidents that happen
or that have to be kept from happening, as

Reredity OF Good Habits.

The common conception of our relation to
our ancestors goes no farther than a general
apprehension that we can inherit their vices.
l am glad that it begins to enter into social
motives as a power, that as we are so will
our children be- But desire to emphasize
the brighter side of the fact. 1t is not only
true that drunkard's children are liable to
inherit taste for intoxicants, and rake's
for unchastity; not only that oddities Of
structure, such as web toes or a Hapsburg
nose, are passed down in a family line, but il
is even more strongly true that all sorts OF
good habits can be Inherited, and the beauty
of noble thought can be transmitted into
the features of a child. For homely ex-
ample we say: "Tom Slawson can't help
paying his debts'-not SO long as he can get
the money. His father and grandfather
were rigidly honest. Sharp enough to steals
Yes; but the bias is the other way. 1t is
drift in his blood to do the square thing.
. A Yankee cannot sit still. He is bewitched
by ten generations of grandmothers that
never were idle while awake. He twitches
and tits his chair, and moves about and
whites when he is stillest That's the spin
ming wheel, and knitting needles, and darn
ing needles and carding combs that are in
his makeup. It's an extreme overdone case
of industry. When wheel goes too fast it
gets on fire in spite Of lubricating OIL That's
the way with these \ anl1ees. They finally
inherit a bonfire and go to ashes. But it
illustrates what L mean-a man inherits in
dustgy, honor, good taste, common sense as
much as he does deviltry and consumption

Working the Brain Too Little

There is a great cutlery to he heard at pres

and in our restless age it doubtless is a posi-
tive danger to re guarded against in the
young student no less than in the old and ex-

in calling so much more blood to the brain
than can be used there, that congestion. in
sanity and death result But nothing has
been said about danger that is the very
slllting to the brain from no work at all If
the one heats the brain too much, the other
beats it too little it becomes, as an unused
muscle does, fiaccid and drained. and so COM

The brain may not at once develop its in
jury, as it is an affair of time, and many peo-
pie manage with so little use of this special
organ that nothing is expected of them: but
the breaking down is on the way all the same.
and especially if unusual thought or action is
required. This is danger peculiarly threat
ening among the rich and idle of the COM
munity, who often lead lives, after a while,
pleasure having palled. Of listlessness, in
difference and ennui. In view of the posi-
bility to which we refer, it is strongly urged
that every one should seek some object of
interest and healthy excitement. Charity
may always prove an avenue of safety to the
people, but even the pursuit of pleasure in
this light acquires some value.-Harpers

Cont with Fed lEhiskcrs,

Within the borders of that region which
boasts of having been the oldest Of the parts
of Europe reclaimed by civilized man. in
Greece, a new quadruped was discovered and
is now exhibited in the geological gardens of
Berlin, Germany. 1t is goat living upon
the island of Joura, in the Strophade archi-
pelago, north OF the island of Enboea. DR..
Reichenow has examined the animal and
given it the name Of capra dorcas Thors
were great many Of them on the island for
merly, and the Greeks call it Polyalgos, or
Goat island. Shepherds have Of late yesrs
Invaded the island, which was uninhabited
except by hermit, and are waging so re
lentless war against the goats that they are
rapidly decreasing in number and will soon
be extinct
There is neither another geological garden
nor museum in the world in possession of a
specimen OF this goat or of any part of It.
That at Berlin is buck, 2 years old, and
still wears its summer fur of reddish vellcw
tint, with stripes of deep black, the dark
necktie being Of the greatest breadth. 1t is
altogether striking in appearance. The DO
mestic goat, it is thought, may descend from

Curbstone Jewellers Who Hail from Tnr-
key and Armenia.
Surely every one has seen the Armeninns
and Turks who stand on the curbs and offer
for sale gaudy jewelry and highly colored
pictures The dark red fez is invariably
cooked upon their raven black hair, and their
faces, never any too clean, usually bear a
look Of pathetic resignation which draws
money from many an unwilling pocket
Some wear American clothing, which has
evidently seen very much better days, while
others adhere with logged persistency
worthy of better cause to the baggy trousers
and flowing jackets of their native land
Any one Of these itinerant tradesnen in
his queer costume, which is of itself an ex-
cellent advertisement land well the rogue
knows it,, surrounded by an admiring throng
of street urchins and prospective buyers, is n
common sight upon our thoroughfares. The
writer himself never closely examined the
jewery which these sons of the east offer for
sale, but the guileless smiles upon the VEN
doris faces have always left an impression
that they were cherished keepsakes brought
over from their native land, and with which
only dire necessity caused them to part. But
alas for human guile!
A few days ago business called Us into the
salesroom of large wholesale dealer in cheap
jewelry, and there, laughing and smoking
cigarettes with the jolliest expressions
imaginable, was group of the baggy trous-
cred street merchants bartering for rings at
fifty cents per dozen and chains at six cents
each, which they afterward find no difficulty
in disposing of at an advance of from 500 to
1000 per cent.
"Whenever | see party of them entering
the door," said the salesman who was waiting
upon them, 81 always get fit Of the horrors
They buy considerable at a time-that is, for
them. As much as $50 to So will be the i'll
vestment of party, but l am obliged to
watch them as a cat does lot of mice. Plain
or embossed band rings are favorites with
them, and SO are heavy seal rings with gaudy
stones. They make an immense profit now,
but if they once washed themselves and put
on ordinary clothes the majority of them
would starve.n
The leader OF the band, who had been
listening intently, gravely nodded his head in
acquiescence and lighted cigarette as he ex-
planned the salesman'S views to his compan-
ions. They agreed upon every particular
except that of their needing to be watched,
and when the spokesman reached that point
he glanced reproachfully at the man behind
the counter, two were observed to wipe away
tears, and one improved the opportunity
which the general distraction afforded to
pocket a broken swivel which lay within
reaching distance.-Jeweler'sN Weekly.

BREAKING UP THE CAMP.

The Parting of the Gypsies-A PictuT-
esquely Sad Scene.
Here were perhaps two score gypsies. Camp
was to be broken at the end OF the next week
The wanderers were to- be scattered broad
cast. 1t was absolutely certain they would
all never meet again, even though all should
know the boundless gypsy joy of the spring
time outgoing. And there is large and
ample human regard, one fcT another, In this
community of roadside interest and COM
panionship, which we OF the 'civilized"
ways can never know Tinker Zeke was not
alone in his mournful regret The camp was
rife with it, just as the landscape, sky and
air were instinct with the tender sadness of
the dying year.

that the fires themselves burned with less

Over in the copses the tethered horses stood

returning to camp with grain and fodder for
the animals did their work gloomily, and
with none of the summertime whoop and
halloa.
Here and there were groups of older gypsy
men, seated on wagon tongues, or leaning
their backs against trees, who smoked their
pipes with long, strong retrospective puffs,
and said little, while that little was measured
and reflective Old spae wives puttered and
bothered querulously, unsteadier in tone,
more restless in movement, and full of that
petulant resentment to change, so true and
pathetic seal upon the overripe faculties OF
old age. Gypsy lasses, ever demure in the
presence OF potent act or fact in their elders
but miracles Of winsome physical and heart
free abandonment in joyous hours, looked
twice their age in their long gowns and faces.
And even the gypsy dogs, those rare sad Wis
aged, veiceless cheats, whose pretense Of
sodden ignorance out gypsy the slyest Ro-
many themselves, sat ranged in deferential
distances from the camp fires, the embodi-
ment Of dreary dolefulness. -Edgar L. Wake

Odtous Comparisons.

II imagine that American girls think more
of their dress than our own do. but they
make the fatal mistake of dressing up I
mean that they are dowdies at one time and
elaborately gotten up at Others. They DO not
show so well at breakfast, for instance, as an
English girl does. There is certain want of
finish about the coiffure-and, indeed, the
general outline Of their figure. A really

Peaks Of Great Altitude.

Although Dr. Meyer has succeeded in
making the ascent of Kibo, the highest peak
on the Kilima-Njaro range, there is no occa-
sion for any noted Alpine climber to sit down
and weep because there are no other noun
tains to conquer The Alps, the Andes, Mt.
Cook in New Zealand and kilima-N jaro are
all giants, certainly, but they are dwarfed By
some Of the Thibetan mountains. Mr.. Graham
assembled one or two % these few years ago,
but he failed to reach the top Of the kinchin-
junga, which is 5000 feet higher than kibo,
and Mt. Everest, the highest peak in the
world, is still virgin soil. In the Himalayan
range there are more than fifty peaks that
rise TO greater altitude than kilipa- n jaro,
which DR.. Meyer estimates close upon 20,000
feet The Alpine clubs should establish
branches in central Asia.-St- James Ca

The Ignorant and UnsichtIy Russian

/ expected to find the Russians fierce
looking people. They are the very op-
posite. Fierceness must be accompanied by
degree of pnental substance The average
Russian one meets in the streets or in the
country is of medium size He is of light
yellow tan color, from exposure to weather
and existence upon coarse food Generally
he wears full beard, and four times out of
five it is light in color and very filthy. His
hair is about two inches thick, is cut as if the
work was done with C meat ak or a circular
saw, and besides being combed down in front
is slightly parted in the middle, as though he
were not sure whether Ire is male or q fe-
male. He invariably wears high topped
boots, and his trousers are tucked into the
boot tops. The boot tops have a series of
finely artistic wrinkles midway, and are gen
orally well oiled. This is the only tasteful
indication i'll the dress. The coat of a peas
ant is a cross between robe, a frock and o

Unearthing Buried Walnut Timber.

The historic earthquake Of 1914 effected
many changes in the earth's surface in this
part of the country. Reelsfoot lake, the pop
lar resort Of duck hunters and fishermen, was
formed by the earthquake. A most peculiar
result happened when the lake was made by
the depression of land. The region was COW
cred with an abundant growth OF fine wal
nut timber, much of which was buried under
the surface of the water. In due time tim
Der spectators made their appearance and
cleared away all the walnut forests, convert
ing the trees into profitable lumber.
No one thought of the immense quantities
of walnut timber imbedded in the mud of
Reelsfoot lake until short time ago, when a
shrewd speculator thought that a fortune was
awaiting the man who could recover the
buried treasure. He formed a company,
which built dredging boats and placed them
on the lake. The result was that valuable
timber deposits were recovered in large guam
titles, and the work is going on yet. The
company is getting rich, and has not half ex-
hausted the buried walnut trees The tim
Der is sold to lumbermen at high prices, and
is of superior quality of walnut, the trees
being large and sound The timber lies in
the loose mud under tho shallow water, and
is not difficult to drag ashore. 1t has been
protected for years from the corroding infiu
ences of the air, and has never rotted. The
buried trees are as sound as when the earth
quake buried them in 18Th -Globe-Democrat.
