This order is assuming proportions
in Clarksville that are causing its
most ardent supporters to marvel at
itsgrowth. There is not a meeting now
at which there are not from four
to double that number of petit
tons presented for membership. The
order is composed of the best element
Of the city, young and old alike,
and it is by enterprise on the part of
the leaders that such strides have
been taken. They are expecting a
demonstration in the early future,
when the new temple is dedicated,
that will out-rank anything ever at

rations have alredy begun and will be
given to the public soon.

How the Pyramid. Wore hunt.

The building of the pyramids OF Egypt is
still 4 w~onder-still a matter of mere spec
ulation. These pyramids-once one of the
seven wonders of the world-are seventy in
number, and stand about six miles in a
straight line from Cairo. The largest, en-
titled the Pyramid OF Cbeops, covers eleven
acres OF ground. 1t is $50 feet high. Herod-
otus states that 100000 men were en-
ployed forty years in constructing this
pyramid, which covers a square whose side
is 76s feet. 1t is built OF vast blocks of
stone, brought from quarries many miles
distant. Various opinions as to the uses
OF these pyramids have been hazarded.
One is that they were erected for astro-
nomical purposes, but the generally &C
cepted belief is that they were sepulchres.
reign he began to construct a pyramidical
tomb-not very large at first, in order to
secure its being finished before his death.
Once built, new layers of stone were put
upon it on all sides, and thus the longer
the reign the larger the pyramid. The DIFF
ference in the size Of these structures Is
thu accounted for.
Always in the center of the structure a
small room was reserved, to which access
could be obtained from a secret gallery
from without, and in this sepulchral nook
there is a coffin of red granite in which
human remains were once deposited. The
outer casing Of each pyramid was of pol
ished black marble, set in a cement which
is AZ hard as the stone itself, This casing
has fallen from the sides of the pyramid of
Cheops, and it is a favorite but fatiguing
feat for tourists to climb up to the top,
which is a fiat table of stone thirty-two
feet squarse-Thomas j.. Bowditch in Troy

Indians have their own way of watching,
and when serving with white soldiers do
not take kindly to sentry or picket duty.
An anecdote Of a Pawnee Indian picket on
Powder river, reported in War Path and
Bivouac," illustrates the red mans dis
taste for the methods of the pale face.
One afternoon in March Lieut.. Schwatka
was ordered to make a detail for picket
duty, and as the Pawnee scouts were doing
nothing, it was thought expedient to give
them a urn. A sergeant took half a dozen
of them with the regular guard, and nav
ing placed the picket post, explained to the
Indian chief as well as he could that h
and his men would lave two hours on and
four hours of duty until the guard was re-
lieved.
"In lend you my watch" said he TO the
Pawnee, and striking a match he pointed
to the dial. Its now 9 o'clock. When
the shorter hand moves two points your
first watch will be relieved. Do you under
stand met"
Hey, hey, goodr' answered the Indian,
and stalked away on his rounds. The ser
geant, being fatigued, dropped into a fitful
sleep by the low watch fire Of the main
guard. Suddenly he was aroused by the
Pawnee's hand. The chief was standing
over him, the watch in his hand.
What do you want" asked the ser
geant.
"Injun heap cold; much heap stiff. " re-
piled the chief. ugh! That thing Qndi-
eating the watch) much lie. Long finger
(the minute hand) been all right. Short
finger (the hour hand) him heap tired"
The laughing sergeant tried to show the
chief his mistake, for he had been but a
short time On guard. "Ughl" was all the
disguised brave would say. and he would
have nothing more to do with picket duty.

A tale is told of the great Aood of June,
1889, which devastated the Susquehanna
valley at the same time the Johnstown ca
lamity occurred. A well to do resident,
whose house stood close to the river, had a
beautiful daughter to whom a handsome
young lumberman had been paying suit.
For some reason the wooer did not find
favor in the fathers eyes, and he was for
hidden to communicate with the girl. He
continued his toll and patiently bided his
time. A few days before the hood he start
ed up the river to assist in bringing down
the raft, The raft was duly started, but
the water continued to rise to such an ex-
tent that 1t was deemed advisable to tie
up. This was found to be out of the cues
ton, as the flood had covered the 'tsnub-
bling posts" and so the raft drifted on, car
ried by the current.
Scores of ~untenanted houses were passed,
and they finally approached the home of
the young mans sweetheart. As they
drew near they saw the whole family upon
the roof frantically beseeching for rescue.
Aided by the current the crew guided the
raft so that 1t just scraped the caves of the
house, and with one accord the victims be-
gan to leap upon the modern ark. The
lover, however, seeing that his sweetheart
was safe, grasped a pike and refused to let
the father on board, shouting:
will you give me Nary Will you give
me Maryf" The old mans face depicted
wofully the inward strife between preju-
dice and self preservation, but meanwhile
the raft was slipping past. and a moments
hesitation would be fatal. Take her." he
yelled-the pike was withdrawn and he
leaped aboard-"but," he continued, eff 1

A Judge of Human Nature.

A young man who wanted to buy some
pretty jewelry for his best girl, dropped
into one of the John street jewelry shops
the other day. He selected a handsome
bracelet which cost $40. He didn't happen
to nav so much money with him, and told
the man who waited on him to put It aside
for him. and he would call for it later in
the day.
He noticed as he spoke thai the man was
cycling him very intently. 1t made him
feel slightly uncomfortable, and tho
thought flashed across his mind that the
man did not believe that he would return.
II suppose you don't like to do that sort
OF thing" he said. "but / will come for it
surely. I will leave adeposit IL you pre-
fer"
The man smiled and shook his head.

of that at all. was just going to say to
you that there Is no need OF your coming
down again. Just write out a check for
the amount, and take the bracelet along
with you, or, IL you prefer, / will send 1t to
you address,"
He took a blank check from a drawer
and handed It Il the customer, together
with a pen. The customer was amazed.
why, how do you know hat my check
will be good for anythingi" he asked.
You never saw me before"
II know" said the man quietly, but
that is the way we do business. We have
been doing this for twenty years, and
never made a mistake yet. 1t is part Of
our business to Judge human nature quick
ly and decidedly, and it is upon our judg-
ment that we offer this convenience TO GER

We trust that those who have the pro- ject in hand of piping the water from tue Mcintosh Spring into St. Johns, will not let the matter rest, until it is an ac- complished fact. With good water for drinking and culinary purposes; more trees planted, both for shade and fruit, St. Johns would soon be one of the most desirable places to live in the Territory. No one can object to the climate, if they did, it would be impossible to suit them. The winters are not too cold, neither are the summers too warm for comfort. In fact, it would be difficult matter to find a more equable climate in the United States or any other country.
