Shocking.

A prominent New York theatrical
man, who is quite homely but very con-
ceited, went into photograph gallery
to get some photographs he had had
taken. The photographer produced them,
and the man declared them elegant.
Said he: sit is an excellent picture 1t
is me all over. 1t is life ITSELF"
"That is So" responded the candid
artist, with dismal expression of coun-
tenance, "they are so lifelike that
can't afford to put one Of them in the
show window, as intended to. can't
afford to shock the public that way

A SINKING HILL.
a Curious Phenomenon on the Tuttle
Farm In Rloomf1eld. Conn.


Farm In bloomfield. Conn.
Jeremiah Tuttle, farmer of Bloom
field, has hill on his big farm In that
town that IL sinking into the bowels Of
the earth, says Hartford Comm cor
respondent of the New York Sun. Mr..
Tuttle has q beautiful farm, most OF
which Is In q normal condition. There
are great fertile meadows, wide reaches
of noble forest, and here and there spa
,cious pastures in which his blooded
COWS Craze on herbage that is almost
knee-deep. The queer sinking hill 10
in one of the big pastures, in what Mr..
Tuttle calls tho crock pasture" The
grass is finer in that one than In any
other pasture in the whole region. Ex-
actly In the center of the big lot is q
hill, capacious of girth, but not more
than twelve feet high. The oldest in
habitant Of Bloomfield, who is upward
Of eighty-fve years old, affirms that the
hill Is as familiar to him as any room in
his own home, for many Bloomfield
people have been in the habit Of taking
"short cut" home across Jerry's rock
pasture, and that he never noted any
thing odd about the hill until lately.
Now, since the hill is said to be sinking,
Bloomfield people avoid the rock pas
ture, for they believe it is enchanted.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Tuttle sent his
hired man, Michael Flann igan, who has
worked on the Tuttle farm for years,
TO the rock pasture with the cows, and
In half an hour Michael came home hur-
riedly with startled look in his face.
When he entered the pasture, he said
later, he stopped in amazement, for he
saw at glance that the hill had gone
down into the earth several inches since
his visit to the lot a day or two before.
To be sure that his opinion Of the hill
was q correct one he went close to It
and took an estimate of its height,
sighting across its top" at old-time and
trustworthy landmarks, and was salts
fed that it had gone down not less than
eight or ten inches. After he had told
his story, everyone, Mr.. Tuttle, too,
,guyed him merclessly. But Michael
doesn't drink, so he took the gibing
good naturedly, and persisted in affirm
ing that this statement was correct.
His earnestness finally impressed
others, and Mr.. Tuttle and some Of the
neighbors visited the rock pasture with
Flanagan, whose declaration at once
was seen to be true. The hill had sunk
several inches since Michaers previous
visit. Moreover, the hill is still sink
ing daily. Slowly and persistently it
is being swallowed up. 1t is now only
slight undulation in the lot, and its
top but foot or two above the rest of
the land there. What is the cause OF
the phenomenon no one attempts to ex-
plain, but the Bloomfield people are
certain that very soon the hill will have
entirely disappeared.

Covered Cities Whose Streets We're One

Covered Cities Whose Streets Were Onoe
Full Of Life and Action.
The city under the sea which has
been discovered between Grade and
Palo, in Istria, is believed to be the
ruins Of Cifsa, mentioned by Pliny as
situated on an island of that name. A
diver reports having seen the streets,
walls and quays, but the doors and win
dows OF the houses appear to be choked
with silt and seaweed. While on this
subject, says Cassell's Family Magazine,
we may. mention that the remarkable
ruins Of Zimbabye, which have been
discovered in Mashonaland, are to be
explored by Theodore Bent, with the
aid of the Royal Geographical society.
Great progress has been made in un-
earthing the Romano-British town Of
Silchester, near Reading. The site COW
ers hundred acres, and is situated on
the Strathfieldsaye estate of the duke
OF Wellington. Walls, gates, streets,
baths and private houses have been laid
bare, and rich collection of pottery,
implements and coins has been made.
Among these are an iron carpenters
plane and blacksmith's tools Some of
the edge tools are still keen enough to
work with. A piece Of tile retains the
imprint Of a baby's foot, and another
that Of shoe or sandal with springs in
the sole. The pottery ranges. from
coarse cooking vessels to artistic ware,
the iron work shows sornamentation and
the needles or other household articles
bear witness to fairly high degree Of
civilization among the Ibero-Celtic pop
ulation, who, to the best Of our knowl-
edge, made up the ancient Britons. II
IS mistake to speak of these, our early
forefathers, as Celts. They were prob
ably moro Iberian than Ceftio, at least
In England proper.

A forced absence from their daily avoca- tions is of itself a great hsrdship, and failure of the Department pf Justice to adequately reimburse those serving as jurors in Uaited States cases for their actual expenses, is an injustice which would not be tolerated from any other than a government clothed with power to enforce its mandates be they ever so oppressive.
