Three Roofs in a Century and q Half

Morgan Mory, of Upper Saucon, Pa,
has had his barn reroOfed with tin. The
structure was built in 1853, when it was
rooted with cedar. A number of years
later pine shingles took the place of the
cedar. 1t has been rooted only three
times during its existence. The barn is
still in good state Of preservation. and
will outlast few more roofs.-Ex-

In the days Of our darkest sorrow,

Trumped by a King.

The genius who fills the position of NEGRO
mancer-in- ordinary to the American public is
possessed Of some remarkable peculiarities
Hermann, as the public sees him, says TIE New
York Telegram, couldn't have helped being a
magician If he had pre-natally so desired. He
was born for the cccut--at least for as much of
it as these degenerate days and the search
light of popular skeptical investigation allow to
remain. The professor is mephistophelian in
looks and Chesterfleldian in manners. Prob
ably the latter quality has been developed
by association with kings and princes and
counts and other people Of professionally polite
habits.
Hermann is joker however, and does not
care how lofty the mark of his amusement is.
The King Of Italy once commanded the magi-
clans presence on the occasion of court re-
ception. Hermann went and on his breast
wore the blazing order Of g Chevaliaro of Russia,
the year previously conferred upon him by the
car. After the usual tents of sleight OF hand,
ton to the order on his breast, made O pass
over it, and, presto, the Chevaier of Russia
wore in its stead the jewel Of a Chevalier of
Italy.
The order being a very exclusive one, the
king looked on it IN wonder, glanced at hts own
uniformed breest. and lol in place of the miss
ing order OF Italy he wore the insignia of q
Russian chevalier
$50 dexterous feat deserves reward" said
the delegated monarch. Take back your jewel
and kneel, chaYalier of the car"
The professor obeyed.

A RBPRoACR TO MEN.
Women Cannot Go About Alone IL
Christian Lands.

Women Cannot Go About Alone in
Christian Lands.
From the January North american Rsvts,c.
Think for a moment what is implied in
the single fact that in no part of the world
is it deemed safe for q woman to 90 alone
after dark, nor, in many localities, by day
even. 1t is not enough b reply that woman
must have a trustworthy male escort be-
cause she is timid. Why should she be
timid? Under similar circumstances man
may fear the personal violence of an enemy
or the loss of his money and valuables. A
woman has to dread mars "wildness and
the chances of the dark" In plain words,
she fears that, il unattended, some man will
seek to rob her Of her honor. And is not
this fear Of hers az acragnment of civiliZa-
ton Itself? How much better does civilized
man show above his savage brother in rela-
ton to this matterl 1t may be urged chat
it Is unfair to hold all men responsible for
the la~lessness of minority; but what is
this but to confess thut the majority are
powerless TO restrain the minority, or to say
that improvement in this regard is impossi-
ble9 If in the vicinity of every large town
in the United States there lurked a dozen
or more fierce wolves that, after nightfall,
went into the town and benqueted on such
of the citizens as they could secure, we may
without much doubt assert that such a
state of things, when once found TO exist,
would come to a speedy termination, for
every man would feei that the common
safety of all demanded the exertion of his
strength in the contest with the wild beasts.
But let it be understood that the honor of
every woman is endangered when she goes
from place to place alone at night, and we
accept the fact as no reproach on our com
mon manhood, but merely fancy that all
requirements Of duty are satisfied If we
provide defenseless women with RESPONSE
Ole male escort.

a Wonderful Hole IN the Ground to

A Wonderful Hole IN the Ground to
be a Feature OF the Chicago Fair.
From the Denver Republican.
There is a welI-developed movement on
foot here to make what will be the most
original and unique attraction OF the worlds
fair-the great mins-a successful under
taking from monetary and advertising
point Of view. a company has been formed
to he known as the American Underground
Mining Exhibit Company. with 1000, eco
capital. 1t is proposed to raise half the
sum in this state, as large part Of the mon
ster mine will be given to working plans Of
its leading mines.
A shaft 50 feet by 1s in the clear is to be sunk
q depth Of at least 500 feet The shaft will
be mounted with an ir0n structure. in which
the various hosting appliances win be
placed. Entry rooms to elevators and
cages will also be constructed. The shaft
will be divided into eight compartments s,
six for the elevators, one for the air and
water columns, and one for ''oranksn who
may desire TO descend by a ladder.
AT the bottom of the shaft an enormous
pump will be constructed, and st the side Of
the shaft pump room. A corridor in the
form of an elliptic around the shaft 70O feet
in length will be constructed, the floor to be
of marble taken from the well-known quar-
u
and ertistically decorated. On the inner
face of the corridor will be placed a museum
containing specimens of ore from every
mine in the union Columns Of Colorado
marble and Vermont granite, with sand
stone and quantities., will be interspersed.
Outside of this eliptical corridor will be
the hne of drifts reached by adlts. From
the outer circle of drifts different excava-
tions will be made, so as to form exact rep
reservations of the famous mines. The
carbonate silver ore of Leadville will be in
one place, the ore of Aspen in another. and
SO on Pennsylvania coal mines, Wiscon-
sins iron ores, and Montana's copper ores
| will be included, and. Ia fact, all the prom
inent nineI Of the United States will be
represented.
1t ia also proposed to have the various ap-
pliances in use in this country seen in actual
operation. Electric drills and steam drills
can be seen in operation and compared, and
| the force of the different powders tested.
In the great pump rooms the greatest and
most powerful apparatus will be in use.
Six cages, fitted in a most elaborate style,
will make the trip In about five minutes,
| and each will DO constructed to carry from
thirty to forty passengers. 30 that from 81, =
600 to 10000 people could pass up and down
in one day. The shafts will be lighted with
electric lights and sheathed with iron So as
| to be waterproof. Down below, the scene
will, it is believed, rival In brilliancy and
picturesqueness the most gorgeous picture
dreamed of by romancers or painters.

From, the January ST. Nicholas.

A Kansas County Election in Pioneer
Days.
From the January st. Nicholas.
The next day, to their great discontinue,
our settlers blundsred upon a county cleo
ton. Trudging into Libertyv1lle, one of
the new mushroom towns springing up
along the military road that leads from
Fort Lesvenworth to Fort Riley. they found
a great crowd of people gathered around a
log house, in which the polls were open.
County officers were to be chosen, and the
pro-siavery men, as the bordersrs were
the country, had rallied in great
numbers to carry the election for
their men. All was confusion and tumut.
Rough-looking men, well armed and gen.
orally loud-voiced, with slouched hats and
long boards. were galloping about, shouting
and making ali the noise possible, for no
purpose that could be discovered. "Hooray
for Cap'n Pate" was the only Ineligible
cry that the newcomers could hear; but
VINO Capt. Pate was, and why he should be
hurrehed for, nobody seemed to know. He
was not candidate for anythisg.
"Hullo! there's our Woburn friend, John
Clark" said Mr.. Howell. Sure enough,
there he was with a vote In his hand gong
up TO the cabin where the polls were open.
A lane was formed through the crowd Of
men who lounged about the cabin, so that a
man going up to the door to vote was
obliged to run the gauntlet, as it were, of
100 mon or more before he reached the door
the lower half of which was boarded up and
the upper half left open for the election
officers to take and deposit the ballots.
81 don't believe that man has any right
to vots here" said Charlie, with an express
sion Of disgust on his face. "Why, he came
into the territory with US only the other
day, and he said be was going up on the
Big Blue to settle. and here he is trying to

"Well, said Unole Charlie, 81 allow he
has just as good right to vote as any of
these men who are running the election.
saw some of these very men come riding in
FROM Missouri when we were one day out Of
Quindaro." AS he spoke, John Clark had
reached the voting place, pursued by r2any
rough ep!thets fuhg after MIN.
He paused before the half barricadcd
docr and presented his ballot. Let's see
yer ticket" shouted one Of the two men
who stood guard, one on either side of the
cabin door. He snatched 1t from Clark's
hand, looked at it and simply said: "H'ist!n
The man on the other side OF the wouuld-be
voter grinned; then both men seized the
Woburn man by his arms and waist, and,
before he could realize what was happening,
he was fang up to bhe edge OF the roof that
projected over the low door. Two other
men, sitting there, grabbed the new conner
by the shoulders and passed him up the
roof TO two others, who, straddiing the
r1dge-pole, were waiting for him. Then the
unfortunate Clark disappeared over the top
OF the cabin, sliding down out Of sight on
the farther side. The mob set up wild
cheer and some Of them shouted, I'VE don't

WHY THEY WROTE IN CIPHER.
Ignatius Donnelly Tells OF the Trials
OF Scholars in the Middle Ages.


OF Scholars in the Middle Ages.
From the North american Review.
Oppression breeds secretiveness; and So
cretiveness begets hidden methods of COM
mu nication. The prosecuted human intel
ngence reaches past the torture chamber
and the headmans block to address
itself to the coming ages. The in
genuity of man surmOunts the brutal
wrath of tyrants. Genius, through
the cryptogram, makes it appeal to DOS
terity. And hence the vast literature of
cipher writing growing out of those dark
days. We need not go back TO the cipher,
in Jeremiah and Isaiah for which sea the
Encyclopedia Bri,annica"), but, combining
Or attention to the middle ages as they are
called, we find the cryptogram playing an
important part in the lives of kings and the
destinies of nations French scholars be-
lieve they have found q, cipher story in Che
writings OF RabelaisSa anAi tho elder Rosett
discovered one in the pages OF Dante.
Count Vitzthum Won Eckstadt, in his re-

spere," shows that the cipher was was So
universal at one time that it was even used
in the external decoration of the Tulleries
by Philip de POrme. and in the sculptures
of the palaces OF Francis |. and Henry H.
Lord Bacon esteemed cipher writing so
highly that he wrote an essay upon the su b.
jeot; he dignifed it as "a part Of grammar"
and he invented, we are told. "the most
ingenious method and the NEST difficult TO
decipher of aay yet contrived." He con-
ceived the extraordinary design Of cipher
within cipher-the external harmless, the
