An Ancient Document.

A most valuable and interesting doc
ument of antiquity has been obtained
for the Louvre museum. It is the
speech against Athenogenes delivered
by Hyperides, the friend of Demos
themes, and the defender of the motor
icus courtesan Phryne, who was ac-
cused OF impiety, but was saved by the
orator, who pulled off her peplum and
displayed her charms to the eyes of the
astonished judges. The incident has
been depicted on canvas by Gerome.
The history of Hyperides and his
speech, as set forth by NJ. Revillout in
his report to the Academy of Inscrip-
tions, is curious enough. Athenogenes
had e perfumery shop which was man
aged by man of straw, or rather q
slave, called Midas, to whom a client
of Hyperides had left money. Being
unable to recover the sum the client
resolved to buy the shop, and the
negotiations were carried on by lady
friend of Athcnogencs, to wit, Anti
gone, a red haired and black eyed
Atheniall Uanlsel.
All this traffic led to legal squabbles
between these extremely interesting
Greeks, and gave Hyperide an oppor-
tunity of descanting on bargains af-
fccted by women, who were treated as
badly by Solon as Napoleon afterward
treated them in his ungailant code.
The pleading of Hyperides has
a wonderfully modern tone about
it, and-but for the names, dates
and places-might have been de-
livcred in the royal courts Of
justice in the Strand or at the Paris
tribunal Of commerce. The speech is
mentioned by Longinus, who also re-
fcrs to that in defense of Phrvne. but
it has only recently been found on
papyrus by N. Revillout, an assistant
keeper Of the Louvre museum.-Lon-

A Very Costly lluilding.

Two young ladies of Maine have
started to raise funds for town hall
at Canton by the deceptive progressive
letter scheme. Each writes two letters
asking for ten cents, herself sends ten
cents to the central treasury and asks
each recipient of a letter to follow her
example until the series has reached
the fifteenth stage. 4 friend of these
enthusiastic young persons remarks
that the plan seems simple, but the
young ladies will raise enough for a
handsome building by these insignifl-
cant contributions, which no one of
the givcrs will miss. But how about
tho postage bill7 Uncle Sam will be
the gamer by the sum Of s2,017.12
which the writers of these letters will
have to spend for postage before they
get through, and then there are the
manufacturers of paper and envelopes
to rejoice with the rest. How much
will the building cost when it is donea

Too Many Partners.

Col. Groovertells story of how one
night he was going from Athens to
Augusta with Col. Pope Barrow, and
Harry Hill, one of the best known
conductors i'll Georgia, was on the
road. When Hill went to set down
his lantern its beams fell on the face
of fellow under the seat. The fellow
at once crawled out and said: "Well,
boss, l acknowledge the corn; I was
trying to beat my way. / have no
money; you will have to put me off. "
Col. Barrow and few others decided
to pay his fare as a reward for his
check and sangfroid.
On the next round Hill happened to
set his lantern down near the same
spot, when he found another fellow,
who crawled out and said: 'Well, you
have ne, too. lam the other mans
partner"
boys Clipped in to pay his fare. At
this three other fellows that had been
hid, and thought that a general collec-
ton was in order, came from their
hiding places. This was too much for
good nature. Everybody laughed,

4 Wisleawake Little Miss.

I have a little girl, years old, who
is source of much amusement to all
who hear her talk. The day of the
presidential election we lost her: some
one had left the basement door open
and she was away up the street with
the kitten in her arms. l ran after
her and said: "Oh! baby, where are
you goinga" She said: Il am takin'
kitty to the White House to boat for
Clevclin."
Another time we were talking at
the dinner table about the Feast of the
Passover, and her father said: 1.-THE
Israelites eat nothing but unleavened
bread during that time" Baby fol-
lowed with the remark: No, not
even 1asses or jelly on il.
Yesterday l took her to see a lady
with now baby, and on her way
home she said: Mamma, why don't
you buy a baby9" | said i'll reply: II
cannot afford it. because you cost me
so much all the time" She waited q
while and then said: Mamma, if
cost so much you ought to be awful
good to me. New York World.

After passing through they fixed the
fence up. After it was seen that they
were determined upon going through
they were not molested further. Mr..
Perkins mentions the following people
who were present and who will attest to
Ian, II. Me]lan, D. Burns, Joe Gird, Pat
Healy, Ed. Lannen and wife, Pat Fay,
Ellen Burns, Jim Campbell, Blair King,
Mrs. Dooley and family of six children,

as far as we can learn, about as true a
statement of the case as can be obtained,
and should be known, in justice to the
parties concerned.

for our denial, but since we have talked

quite indignant over the contradiction of

In the White Book published at Ber1il

In the White Book published at Berlin
respecting Samoan matters, Prince Bis
marck refers to the arrest of Gallien, the
Englishman, by the German consul at
Apia, for suggesting that Mataafa should
write to Mr.. George Gray, ex-governor
of New Zealand, as to the course Sa-
means should pursue. Ex-Gov. Gray,
who is held in great esteem in the colon
les, when asked respecting his views by
the Auckland Herald as to Samoa, said:
1T would be far preferable to leave
each of these island groups with indepen-
dent governments, settling all disputes
among themselves by arbitration, ard
guided, if possible, by commission OF
foreign powers. It is clear that America
is aiming at this line of policy, annexing
none of the islands and doing her utmost
to preserve the peace of the Pacific.
This also is certain to be the policy of all
the English possessions in this part of the
world. America will eventually becomes
the leader of the Anglo Saxon race, and
will displace England from the position
she holds. Many eyes in this part of the
world are already being turned towards
America as the power that is likely to
preserve the interests of the Anglo-S Saxon
race in the Pacific without herself an
nexing anything or allowing foreigners
to do so. It is clear that the center of
power among the Anglo-Saxon race is
shifting to America, as the center of
population has already done. It is there
fore unwise Of England to neglect her
interests in such a time of emergency.
The United States does not require a
standing army, and consequently the
whole resources OF people SO circum-
stanced could be devoted solely to the
maintenance of navy which would
make the Anglo-Saxon race absolute
masters of the world"

Testing TelegraDh Poles.

A young man with gimlet two
feet long stopped in front of tele-
graph pole in an uptown street the
other day and began to bore into it.
Another young man, a reporter on
The Sun, stopped also and asked the
first what he was about. II am going
to find out how long this stick will
stand up" he said, twisting the handle
rapidly. Il am employed by the COM
pany that OWLS the pole, and it is my
business to go about the streets making
inspections like this. Every pole IS
numbered, and when I make my re-
port the company takes action accord
ing to the condition of the wood.
This is the only way we can tell how
strong pole is, for decay begins be-
meath the surface and works toward
the center. It shows on the outside
last. So you can't tell from the looks
whether pole may not come down in
the first high wind, or light one,
either, for that matter. This one,"
and he withdrew his gimlct and looked
at the fine shaving clinging to it,
"will last at least a year without dan
ger. There is one on the Bowery, near
Fourth street, that looks perfectly
sound, much letter than this one, in
fact, and yet it is dccayed almost from
surface to surface, and is liable to fall
any day" The young man did not
know when the company would re-
place the dangerous pole, and, after
making Ii memorandum in book, he
procecded up the street to probe the

A Repeating Rifle Invented in 1922.

A Kingston man, while locking
through u file Of newspapers published
in Kingston III 1892, found a descrip-
ton of ''new invention" a repeat
ing f:rcarn.. The gun was manufact-
u1sd i'll New York city and was
invented by a man named Isaiah
Jennings. The description reads as
follows: 1T is a single barrel and
lock stocked iii the usual style, and is
perfectly simple, safe and convenient.
The number of charges may be ex-
tended to fifteen, or even twenty, each
charge being under as complete con-
troll as a single charge in an ordinary
gun, and may be fired in the space Of
two seconds to charge Or at longer
intervals, at the option of the pos
SCISSOR, with tho same accuracy and
force as any other gun. The princi-
pal can be applied to any musket, rifle,
fowling piece or pistol, and can be
made to fire from two to twelve times
without adding anything to the in
cumbranca of tie piece, except five or
six ounces to its weight. Livingston

ARTICLE FOR A SICK ROOM.

For a sick room, the sand bag is inval
liable. Get some clean, fine sand, dry !;
thoroughly in a kettle on the stove.
Make bag, about eight inches square, OF
flannel, fill it with the dry sand; sew the
opening carefully together and cover the
bag with cotton or linen. This will pre-
vent the sand from sitting out, and will
also enable you to heat the bag quickly by
placing it in the oven, or even on top the
stove. After once using this you will
never attempt to warm the feet or hands
of a sick person with bottle of hot water
or brick. The sand holds the heat o
long time, and the bag can be tucked up
to the back without hurting the invalid.
1t is a good plan to make two or three Of
the bags and keep them on hand, ready
for use at any time when needed. The
Pilot.
