An accurate remembrance of manner
and faces has been called a gift oil
princes; another gift, showing the no
bility of both heart and good breeding,
Is that of punctilious courtesy toward
the humble as well as toward the great.

man, who was walking with a rela-

Curious atmospheric conditions of
the desert and high plateaus at certain
seasons of the year produce strange
phenomena but little understood ex
cept by persons who have long lived
in those regions. The dry weather in
Nevada has produced a host of giant
dancers there. Formerly they APP
peared only in the spring, the Perane-
gat and Humboldt valleys being their
rendezvous. Now they are down in
Lyon county, far to the southwest.
"These dancing giants, or waltzing
sand augers," said Judge Kelly Of
Phoebe yesterday, 'tare puzzlers to all
scientists. How they brace up and
hold together so long is what gets
them. On a quiet, sunny day you see
a little handful of sage brush soar
aloft on a light breeze. Some more
joins it, until it is as big as your hat
and then your body, and then the
sand and rocks and soil by the bushel
begin to roll into the mass from the
ground, ascending upward like a col
umn. 1t is 10 as big as a telegraph
pole, and all the time gaining, and ere
long its top maybe reaches l, 900, may
be 5000 feet. While you are watch

will come waltzing down from the up
per end of the valley, having travelled
probably twenty-five miles and torn
up the soil like a steam pillow in their
Waiting and zig-zagging.
These are some of the thingsI saw
last week ten miles below Phoebe.
Horses sniff the air and get wild when
they see them. The augers tear up
the hillsides, smash houses like a cy-
clone and suck up men like a water
spout. Then when they have spent
their force, quit sashaying and have
lost their cohesive powers, they go all
to pieces in as strange a way as they
were formed, and there is nothing
but a pile of sand, sagebrush, stone,
loose boards and what not, to tell
what they once were. Strange things,
these dancing giants. San Francisco

BernhRrdt s Jewels.

Sarah Bernhardt's latest catastrophe
with her jewels is too good to miss
getting into print. 1t seems Dona Sol
left her jewels in a cab and on discov-
ering her loss flew off to Scotland yard
and there found them safe and sound.
When asked, however, to pay the usu-
al percentage on recovered property,
and finding that this commission
would in the present instance amount
to 9165, she was furious and called it
an imposition and asked to See the
project de police. Pie guardian of
the peace who was attending to her as
sured her, in his most plausible man

without an appointment, whereupon
Sarah exclaimed:

betook herself to Essex street to her
solicitor, who told her in this case the
police had the law on their side, but
advised her TO return to Scotland ward
and ask what was the lowest they

and meekly asked whether they
would not remit a part of the commits

that, considering the circumstances of
the case, they would knock off" s100

The rapid spread OF the grip has
caused a general oYerhauling of statistics
regarding the extent of hat aative dis
ease during former periods. Tho NoUoe
Vremyd furnishes figures showing that in
1929. when the whole of Europe suffered
severely from la grippe, the disease
caused 9OS deaths in London within one
week. In Vienna co, 200 persons were
affected. In 1877 and l743 there were
further outbreaks, and the deaths in Lon
don amounted to 1000. In 1878 domes-
tic animals we're first attacked by it.
Daring 1882. in St. Petersburg 10000
persons fell i'll OF it within twenty four
hours. Between 1910, when the disease
first attracted attention in Malta, and
1850, there wcrl altogether 300 distinct
edidemics OF influenza in Europe. Most
of the New York physicians hold that the
gnp is not fatal, but while the proportion
OF deaths IRON it is small, the above sta
tistics sufficiently refute that theory.

He told me a short but interesting
story apropos of Dom Pedro's enforced
retirement from the imperial throne
of Brazil. Dom Pedro" he said, lis
a thorough democrat, and / have
many reasons for believing that if he
did not actively connive at his own re-
tirement, he was at least aware that it
was about TO be forced upon him, and
took no steps to prevent it. He was
SO much of a democrat, in fact, that /
can boast of the fact hat even when
he was emperor of Brazil he owed me
fifty cents. The mi in which
this enormous debt was incurred is
amusing. When the Brazilian en-
peror visited Egypt, the khedive, in
whose service l was then engaged, APP
pointed me Dom Pedro's chief of staff.
1t was part of my duty to see that the
royal chariot, drawn by four magnifi-
cent horses, should be every morning
at the doorway of the emperor's hotel.
Dom Pedro had a deep rooted dislike
to this display and evaded the chariot
whenever possible. One morning 1
arrived in front of his apartments in
time TO see the emperor jump into the
most disreputable looking hack in
Alexandria. l followed him on horse
back TO his destination, but he was so
DESTROYS of being able to roam about
without the companionship of royal
officials that he sprang from the queer
looking conveyance and fastened
away without paying the driver his
fare. The jehu, W of the en-
peror's identity, was with loud cries,
running after him when / intercepted
him and paid the fifty cents which
was owing, The incident is interesting
simply as showing what a profound
contempt Dom Pedro has for ceremo-

With bright sunny skies and genial air
Cheyenne people have been complaining
about the weather. If they looked into
the question they might find that other
places were a good deal worse off. For
instance here is Chicago. The Herald
gives this description OF the weather on
New Years day:
Meanest weather ever seen. Been
raining more or less for two months
There ought to have been snow and ice a
month ago.
What is the situation? Mud up to
ankles. slippery sidewalks and weather

read about, but a smoking, soaking, silent
rain that makes the ground smell like
dead cabbages.
And the air. too. What about that2
Been thick enough for sandwiches and
ripe enough TO pick with gloves.

time.
OF course McGinty is at the bottom OF
the sea. We are all there. Couldn't be
anywhere else when it's raining all the
time.
Snow, beautiful, sparkling, immaculate

pretty looking being. He must possess a
large, throbbing brain. Next thing you
know you'll be buying a cook stove in

Wilfrid Blunt, a noted English
breeder of Arab horses, gives it as his
opinion that the Arab belongs to the
original wild races of Africa rather
than Of Asia, and was introduced to
southern Arabia by way of Abyssinia,
whence it is historical that he spread
northward. He was not known in
Europe before the Mohammedan con-
quest, but since then his blood has
spread through all lands visited by
communication with Mecca, through
the pilgrimage. The Barb of north
Africa, the Andalusian horse of Spain,
the Turk, the Persian and the Turco-
man have been all largely infused for
centuries with Arab blood. The first
Arab blood in England was probably
brought through Spain and France,
and later from Palestine, by the cru
saders.-New York Times.

the announcements, to his office boy,
saying: Il want these mailed on the

OF course the boy misunderstood the
