A Centenarian,s Giant Progeny.

Probably the most remarkable family In
the United States is the Walker family,
living near Hendersonville, n C. William
Walker, the oldest member of the family,
was soldier in the war of 1912, and pro-
fesses to remember the revolutionary war.
He is generally supposed to he about 10
years of age, although the record is not as
exact as might be wished.
At an early day Walker came to North
Carolina, where he raised a family of
twenty-five children, equally divided be
tween the sexes The eleven boys ranged
in height from 6 feet inches to feet, and
all of them are still living. Seven of these
men have sons, and there is not one of
these sons who is less than 6 feet in height.
There are twenty-five grown grandsons
and five grown great-grandsons, and every
one of them is full feet and over in
height.
They have always lived in the mountains
q few miles from Hendersonville, and fol-
low farming for a livelihood. No record
has been kept of the generations, but there
are five living generations, and the families
have been large, so that the descendants of
this man, who is still living, if brought to-
gether would make Il respectable sized
town.-Cor. ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.

sunken Cities.

Most countries of the east which border
on seas or oceans, or which have large
lakes or seas within their limits, have
names and a fixed location for fabulous
cities In Germany the city is called
Vineta, and it is said to be in the vicinity
of the island of Rugen. Werner's novel of
thesame name is based on this old German
superstition. Max Muller's father wrote a
beautiful little poem with Vineta as its
theme, the following being the most ex-
quisite of its many stanzas:
Harkl the faint bells of the sunken city
Peal once more their wonted evening chimes;
From the deep abysses floats ditty,
Wild and wondrous OF the olden times
The Italians point out seven different
bays and harbors which they tell you were
once occupied by populous cities, over
which the waves now roll to the depth of
several fathoms. Is, the sunken city of
Brittany, seems to be quite nomad, va
rious places along the coast being pointed
out as its former site; however, it is always
given the same name, no matter where To-
Gated. The bulk of authorities fix on the
Bay of Douarnenez as being the body OF
water at present rolling over the legendary
city. Huge stones and other relics recent
ly found by divers working in the bay
make it at least probable that some large
Gallo-ROmaic city once stood there on land
now covered by the sea.

He WEARS THE SCAR TODAY.
A Deputy Marshal and Gambler Raised
RevoIvers Together.

hSNO1hcTB AOBcbhCHs
"Do you see that tall man standing
therew asked the colonel. "Notice how
he brushes his hair forward on the sides,
as some Englishmen do. One of those
locks hides a scar which bears eloquent
testimony as to a narrow escape from
death.
"Thirty years ago he was a deputy mar
shall in Nevada. He started out one day to
arrest notorious gambler who had killed
man over a game Of cards. The gambler
knew that the marshal was seeking him,
but with cool effrontery walked about
the streets all day. Wil-that is, the dep
uty marshal-heard that the man he want
ed was in well known barroom. He set
out for the place, and carelessly walked
boldly in. He had not crossed the thresh-
old before he found himself looking into
the barrel of a six-shooter.
Come, Hardy he said coolly, this
won't do. I've come to get you, and want
you
4" See here, john said the gambler, I
don't want to kill you, but 1 won't let any
man arrest me. Go away and let me alone.
No, l want you,' said the marshal
quietly. Put down the six shooter and
come with me-
"Ill see you shot first said Hardy
az can't help that, said the other. T
must have you. Now you have the drop
me in cold blood,
az don't want to kill you,' said Hardy.
"Then put down your gum
John, won't be arrested. Don't touch
me. ] don't want to shoot man without
cause
" I've got to do it, Hardy
"'See here said the gambler, turning
white, if you move foot kill you. But
hate to be a coward. That was fair and
square last night. We both pulled to-
gether.'
"The marshal shook his head.
cpl do one thing, john Hardy went on.
TIL back up to that wall You back up to
the other. I'll drop my revolver to my hip
and you can draw yours. Then it's the
best man.
''The marshal moved backward to the
wall and Hardy did the same. Then the
marshal drew his revolver and held it at
his side, muzzle down. All this time Hardy
had kept his weapon leveled at the mar
shall. Slowly his arm sank until his re-
volver touched the seam of his trousers.
Both men were perfectly calm and immOv-
able, the marshal determined looking, the
gambler still pale.
"'Now, john said Hardy Instantly
both weapons went up. 1t was all over so
quickly that both men were on the floor
together. But Hardy had fired too soon;
his ball went at an upward angle and
grazed the marshal's temple But the
marshal had sent his bullet straight on a
line to Hardy's heart, and there was no
need to arrest the gambler. New York

Possibilities of the Bells.

Bell ringers ought to be able to give a
change of bill at every performance 1t is
curious to notice what variety of changes
can be rung on bells. Eight notes will
give 40, 800 different passages, and ten notes
9,65S, $50. The changes which may be runC
on twelve bells are 479,O0l 500, which, at
the rate of two strokes a second, will take
ninety-one years to ring. Another authori-
ty says, upon the calculation of ringing 20
changes in an hour, it would take an in
cesSant ringing of thirty seven years to
complete 479,O00,OO0. Fourteen bells, at
the rate first given, would take 16, SO years
to accomplish the changes, and upon TWEEN
ty-four bells the changes could not be rung
in less than ll7,0O0 billions of years, and
no concert company is likely to hold to-
gether for season" of that length.-De-

from Newport TO Bangor the other day.
When he got on the car a double seat there
was occupied by tired woman and four

the nuisance Of children travelling, put his

The Use of a ToothnIcl1.

Toothpiclls, of course, are positively nee
essary, but can you tell why some people
supposed to be well bred are so utterly lost
to decency in the use of them? If any one
stops long enough TO consider he must
understand at once that TO use a toothpick
under any circumstances is more or less
disgusting 1t can never be otherwise
While the use of them as an adjunct to
neatness is recognized, the toothpick should
never serve its purpose publicly, or if it is
unavoidable it should be used as unostenta-
tously as possible
1t is bad enough to see man use a tooth
pick Unfortunately and unreservedly,
without regard for the sensitiveness Of
others land please don't think the act is
made elegant and refined by raising the
napkin TO the face to shield the mouth dur
ing the process. That is worse yet, and
plainly says, Il am picking nv teeth
now'0, bat it Is infinitely worse to see a
woman use one publicly ! heard gentle
man say not long ago that there was no
place in the country where women used
toothpicks rs publicly as in Chicago. 1t is
certainly 10 be hoped that other cities are
no wOrse.-Chicago Herald.

Theory of Ice Caves.

The latest accepted theory of the forma-
tion of ice in ice caves is that the tempera-
ture Of these caves must be at or below the
freezing point; that there must be no very
pronounced currents of air; that the en-
trance must be from above otherwise the
warm air would enter and hinder ice for
mations), and lastly that the pcrcolation of
the water must be very slow. AS proof of
the above theory we cannot do better than
to refer to a well known example. Near
Trout lake, Klikatat county, Washington,
is wonderful example of the genuine ice
cave, a cave where stalactite shaped icicles
are found throughout the year, not varying
the least in size with the seasons.
A shaftlike hole fifteen feet in diameter

the bottom Of the rustic ladder is reached

chambers in TIE Trout Lake cave, each

turn to the surface being accomplished
with the sensation of going into a furnace.

Ala SKIM Dolls.

The Alaskan women al wear trousers
and boots. and Alaskan dolls all have
these garments on them. / saw one doll
which represented sn Alaskan mother
with miniature baby on her back, and i
was much interested in the Zuni dolls.
These are painted the colors of a stick OF
candy. They are trimmed out with rib
bons, and are, so the museum authorities
say. used in religious worship.
There are also dolls made of basket work.
There are dolls with rings in their noses,
and doubt not that if you would go to
India you would also find dolls with bells
on their toes. The collection OF toys in
the national museum constantly increases.
and the lesson that is ever before you in
going through its wonders is that the
world is very much alike after all, and
that the Indians and the Chinese. the STA
mese and the Egyptians, the African and
the South American, are much the same
as we are.-Washiugton Letter.
