ticularly on the shores of bays or lakes,
where each curve and indenture of the
land changes the frontage to the water.
Really acrimonious discussions have
been held by near neighbors on their re-
spective verandas, where, without a reli-
ublo compass to guide them, each man
held to his own opinion with dogmatic
persistence.

Gazclies and Human sent,men.

In the Jardin DIES Plantes, at Paris. in
u fine grassy inciosure, is % group Of tiny
animals, the smallest antelopes known.
They will come, about the size of so
many cats, close behind their low wire
grating. and stand and doubtfully gaze
up at you with enormous liquid eyes.
And such is tine effect of their l~ittieness,
their timorousnes:s, their almost absurd
de~licacy-so small, so delicate, those lit
lie, little hoofs, those little tender limbs,
those fragile tawn colored sides. that
little humid twitching muzzle; so small,
and yet so keenly, TREMENDOUSLY per
ceptive and so intensely sensitive; 30
little, yet all alive and %quivering with
nerves; so small, so weak, SO helpless,
and apparently 30 untitled for aught ex.
cert to ap~prehenl, such minute atoms
and specks OF scntient being, so lost
amid il nnivcrse's vast incomprehensi-
b%ility--that my heart has been smitten
to look upon those miniature living
things, with the quite inordinate frailty
of their body and the disproportionnte
bigness of their eyes.
Symbols or suggestions of humanity's
every aspect may, one fancies, be dis
covered in animal creation. And l
think those antelopes are symbols Of q
state of soul rare enough among men,

"Tho charges for posting are from
three to five cents per sheet per week.
When the weather keeps clear sheets
last two or three weeks. In rainy
weather they need frequent renewal.
The poster pays rent for space, so that
tho advertisers expense is simply for
posting and keeping posters in good con-
dition. After paying all expenses some
posters net a better income out of the
business than the average good profess
sional man or merchant can make."-

"A Mad sculpto.,s wonderful, Work

he began to ~dexterousjy carve the soap
into the shape of the "hu1man form d.
vine," and within an incredible short
time, considering the magnitude of the
undertaking and the unbalanced condi-
ton of his mind, had produced a won
derful model of an Alpine hunter.
The figure, which is now carefully
treasured, is said to be equal to anything
ever executed by either Marcou OF

his right arm outstretched, the fingers of
the hand encircling the neck of a duck,
which is as carefully reproduced and as
true to nature as the figure of the hunt

side, holding a shotgun, while at his feet
lies the figure of a dog w~istfully gazing

Lost IN tho Colorado Desert,

John Mc(1rath has received a letter
under date of May 10 from Walters, on
the Colorado desert, telling of the terri
bic fate of Il miner who had lost his way
on the desert. From the letter it is
learned that two parties of prospectors,
Miller and Masters and Bowen and his
partner, were together, and that on Nav
Miller, as he was known, started from
Cottonwood Springs for Walters to hunt
his burro, which had gone astray. He
had with him five quarts of water and
provisions for one day.
Nothing was thought of the matter.
and no u dreamed but that he got
through all right. On the 18th the bal
ance Of the party went to Walters, and
reaching there learned that Miller had
not been seen. They Immediately put
back to search for him, and found his
tracks where he took q cattle trail which
would lead him to the Colorado river, in
q direction directly opposite to Walters,
As they had no provisions they could
not follow tho trail and returned to
Walters. He has been given up for
dead, as since the 4th of the month, if
he had reached the river. he would have
had timo to return or to have written
back to his companions.
Bowen sent to Los Angeles to Miller's
friends to have them come and search
for tho missing man, but up to the date
on which the letter was written no word
had been received from them.-San Ber-

The Best Recipe for Rest.

There is nothing which will give a
chance for rest to overtired nerves SO
surely as Il simple religious faith in the
o%verruling, wise and tender Providence
which has us in its keeping, 1t is in
chatting against the conditions of our
lives that we tire ourselves immeasur-
ably. 1t is i'll being anxious about things
which we cannot help that we often do
the most of our spending. A simple
faith in God which practically and every
moment, and not only theoretically and
on Sundays, rests Oh the knowledge that
he cares for us at least as much as VIC
care for those who are the dearest to us,
will do much to give the tired nerves the
feeling of the bird in its nest.
Do not spend what strength you have,
like the clematis, in climbing on your.
self, but lay hold OH things that are
eternal, and the peace of them will pass
into your soul like healing balm. Put
yourself in the great everlasting cur
rents, and then you can rest upon your
oars, and let those currents bear you on
their strength.-Anna G. Bracket in

Bride and Groom Very Wet.

The bride of Mr.. Charles Harvey, Of
Newport, owes the fact that she was
not drowned in the Mississippi at St.
Paul to the heroism of her Gown hubby"
The twain were married on Wednesday
and came to st. Paul to spend a portion
of their honeymoon.
They went down to the dock to take a
Diamond 10 steamer for the south.
They were not ready to go on board and
walked along the dock to look at the
broad side Of tho craft. All of a sudden
wiley gave an e%arpiercing scream and
went headlong into the river, having
stepped Oh a loose board, which few up
at the other end. The new husband
leaped into the river, striking tho water
almost as soon as she did, and clasped her
in his arms, holding her head above
water until help wa at hand. A plank
was thrown to him, which he seized, and
being a swimmer soon reached the shore
with his precious burden.
No damage was done aside from the
wetting. They went to the hotel they
had just left and changed their clothes.

A Som for Metal Work

The soaps used for cleaning metal
work usually consist of mixtures of vase
line, oleic acid and fat, mixed with a
small quantity of rouge. When freshly
prepared they leave nothing to be de-
sired. But unfortunately such mixtures
o turn rancid, and become unfit fol
use.
\ soap for metal work, which is stated
to be free from this objection, is made
from cocoanut butter in the following,
way: 2.5 ~kiloyra1nmes Of the butter are
melted in an iron vessel together with a
little water, and to the mixture is added,
with constant stirring, 1870 grammes
of chalk, S7.5 gralnmes of alum, 67.5
gram1nes of cream of tartar and s7.5
grammes of white lead.
This mixture is then poured into
moulds and allowed to solidify. The
soap so obtained is made into a paste
with water and rubbed over the metal
to be cleaned, and finally removed by a
dry rag OF chamois leather.-Manufact.

Court Room Fright.

A genuine case of fright was devel-
oped a few days ago when Charles Darr,
of Colerain pike, entered the court house
for the purpose of t~estifying in the case
of Thomas S. Strahan versus Isabella
Watson before Judge Bates and a jury.
Mr.. Darr thus made his first appearance
in court. When he reached the large
entrance to the building, and the great
stairway loomed up before his startled
gaze, Mr.. Darr's teeth ratified like casta.
nets.
AS he slid up stairs on the elevator
several buttons dropped from his clothes,
90 hard did he SILVER and shake. AS he
Travelled the long corridor leading to the
court room poor Darr was completely
ratified, and a series of .shrill screams
issued from his lips. In order to prevent
the man going insane from childish
fright he was excused, and he made
tracks for his country home at u rate
that would defy the best efforts of a fly
ing machine. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Drinking Water In New York.

The foul condition Of the Croton water
that has been served to consumers in Ger
tain sections of this city within the past
few days has caused much anxiety and
comment. In ON houses and apart
mcnts it has flowed in streams alternate
ly black and green. A waggish German
girl employed by a familyin West Fifty
seventh street attributed the polluted
condition OF the water to neglect of the
janitor in taking proper care of the tank
on top of the building, not being aware
of the fact that the same kind of
water "a flowing through all of the
pipes in the neighborhood. She filled a
pitcher with the black fluid one very hot
afternoon last week, and seeing the jani-
tor in the courtyard called to him: "Mc-
earthly, would you like a cup Of cold
coffee?"
Indeed an l would, wild many thanks
to yees," answered MI. Mccarthy.
Tho pitcher was tipped, a good sized
cup was filed, and Mccarthy drank it.
He made a very wry face, and as he
handed the cup back remarked: "Be me
soul, that tastes just loike the water
we're after gettin' these few days back. +"

VIII Il Remh..ndto

Great excitement has been caused ln
the artistic world of Germany by Il book
entitled "Who Is Rcmbrandt?" by Max
Lautner, who contends that Il great part
of thepaintings attributed to Rembrandt
are the work of onoo of his scholars, Ferli-
nand Boil. With a new Photographic
magnifying process, invented by him
self, he discovered, ho says, on a great
number of works bearing tho name Of
Rembrandt the clear traces of the name
of Ferdinand Boil, scratched in the orig
inal fresh paint, and under the varnish.
Thus, in the case Of the celebrated pict.
ure "Joseph and Potiphar's Wife," pur-
chased at a high price by the Berlin
museum, the Photographic apparatus
has discovered o very clear impression
of Bol's name to the left of the raised
foot Of Potiphar's wife, on the pedestal
Of the seat on which she reposes .-Galig-

was standing, and went to the rescue.

Has Been Fattcncd for Soup.

A man with u remarkable story has
turned up in Dallas. His name is w. F.
Yates, and he says he is the son of j. c.
Yates, Il missionary who went out from
Jacksonville, Miss, in 1918, and was de
vourcd by cannibals in 1875. He wa.
reared in missionary camps, and rs he
grew up he took to the work himself,
and has been engaged at it twelve year,
in Africa. He relates stories of personal
adventure of thrilling interest.
In 1876 he went on an expedition tc
Lake Albert Nyanza. where he and tive
others were captured by cannibals. They
were imprisoned in n hole in the ground
and covered with logs. Hero an attempt
WAS made to fatten them for the feast
day by throwing them human flesh and
bread fruit, Eight days they were thus
confined, when Henry NJ. Stanley came
up with a posse, routed the natives, killed
forty of them, and freed the captives.
He then Joined the Stanley party and
went with them to Livingston river,
where no took charge Of the Roovee
Grove Baptist mission.
Hero he remained until 1878, when the
natives suddenly formed a dislike for
him and confined him in q mud house to
fatten. One day they took him out to
exercise, and ho began amusing the two
guards by playing tricks. He snatched
the club of one and Drained them both,
and again eluded the soup. Afterward
he engaged in exploring and establishing
missions on the Congo river. He speaks
~thirty-six of the languages of that IL
try, and no claims to have had a personal
acquaintance with David Livingston.
He was born in Ta%nkatango, in the
