MassIllon Ingalls, has been stealing
more thunder. He stole from the con-
gressional directory. Perhaps he was
pardonable in unguardedly absorbing
Massillon. and giving it off as original,

Funston or Anderson is liable to detect
the theft. This is the god of Kansas

eight pennyweights and was only half

Cleveland tells the democrats to work

The pallium is a white wooden band

to be worn around the shoulders and
be crossed in front. IL is made at
Rome from the wool of two lambs
which the sisterhood Of Santa Agnese
offer every year on the occasion of the
feast of their patron saint, while the
Agnus Del is sung at mass. The pal

The treasury watch is composed Of
seventy veteran soldiers who are cut
into three squads, dividing every TWEEN
ty-four hours into three equal watches
Of eight hours each. The men wear no
uniforms, and would not impress the
casual visitor to the treasury during the
hours when the public is admitted.
The guards go unarned during the day,
but at night carry a large 42-caliber six
chambered revolver, which is too large
TO be concealed in a pocket and must
be carried in the hands all the time.
Every who passes the treasury az
night may see pacing TO and fro in the
lofty area between the granite pillars
and the wall of the building solitary
figures.
A person cannot approach within a
hundred feet of the building without
seeing a guard Such a Waterman.

each of the four entrances to the treas

work of Secretary Folger, who during
his term In Office lived in constant dread
of an attack on the treasury.-Indian-

ment, to be disarranged and brought to
untimely destruction.
All continuous physical transgression,
however innocent it may seem, is fol-
lowed by a like retribution. Such is
the punishment which overtakes null
titudes who overwork their brains and
underworld their muscles; of not a few
who waste vital energy with anxiety,
fret and unstinted care; of many who
overlook the great law Of their physical
being that nakes daily recuperation

rest. Even ministers of the gospel not
unfrequently allow well meant faithful
ness to end in a fatal mental strain.
One of the signal facts connected
with many forms of physical transgres-
sion is its tendency TO weaken the vital
stamina of the transgressor's offspring.
The least a child can ask of its progen-
itor is a fair chance Of life. To squander
the vital inheritance Of ones offspring
is vastly worse than to squander its
large ancestral estate.-Youth's Com

SINGING sHAD.
Queer Fish That Are said to serenads

Queer Fish That Are said to serenads
Residents of Cape May.
The singing shad has been seen and
heard in lower Delaware bay this year.
1t hasn't been seen in large quantities,
Of course. for the appearance Of this
odd fish In these waters is a rare occur
renee. But few of the singing shad
have enchanted the fishermen. They
come from the south. and only when
the wind has died down and the water
is quiet. They come in schools. emit
ting musical notes as they swim along.
The sounds they make are soft and
something like those OF an Rolian harp
1t is hard to express or rather initiate,
on paper. the melody they sing. 1t
runs something like this; Wee no, he
hi do de; wee no, die di dunn"
This sound cannot be made with any
effect. except when the shad travel in
schools The singing of a single shad
is too feeble to be heard above the rip
pie of the water. Captain Arnold,
one of the ole. st and most truthful of
South Jersey fishermen, said the other
day that he Lad heard the singing shad
a number # times in his piscatoria'
career. tt y are rare, of course, so
far north E this. Even when they do
come only Id fishers are apt TO hear and
d~istinguis them. We know about
them anC are more or less on the look
out for their occasional arrival. Thee
really belong of the coast of Bolivia
and Chill There they are quite conn
mon. All sorts of fairy tales are a
rated about them by South American
fishermen. The singing shad also
breed in japanese waters. The fisher
men of Japan are delighted when they
strike a school of singing shad- They
follow them up r~everently. because
they believe the fish are inspired.
They throw them food and never
catch or eat them.
The singing shad is different from
the common back or roe shad. 1t is
not so large and there is a slight differ
ence in the formation Of the mouth.
Only an expert fishermen can tell when
he has caught one of the tinny song
sters. Old fishermen regard the mu-
steal shad as prizes and do not send
them to market unless they are paid a
very high price for them. II is esti-
mated that they travel in schools Of
about 500. Their singing is pleasant
t first. but soon grows monotonous,
owing TO the fact that it is a constant
repetition Of the same few sounds.
Whether many Of these peculiar fish
ever 90 on up the Delaware or move
on TO New York and mingle with the
plain every day Hudson river shad is
not known. They lose their identity
when they get in with other fish, and
it is doubtful if they ever sing alone

Stonehenge is a famous ruin of great
but uncertain antiquity, situated in
the center of a plain neal Amesbury in
Wiltshire. England At present it is
merely a confused mass of m~osseovered
stones, which must be closely inspected
IN order to trace out the original form,
which was two ~concentric circles of
hinge upright stones, inclosing two
ehpses, the whole surrounded by a cir
eular ditch and embankment, the wall
being fifteen feet high and loo in cir
cuJuference.
There is much difference of opinion
among a~ntiquarians as to what the
original building, monument or dixie
was used for. Many eminent scientists

many tests that are still current among

mosque began the history of Noah with
this citation from the Koran 4 have
called Noah" Unluckily he forgot the
rest of the verse and repeated the same
words over again. At last an Arab ex-
claimed. III Noah will not come call
somebody else" More careful was an
other preacher, who was sheik as well.
One Friday. when the muezzin rang
out the call for prayer, he mounted the
pulpit in the mosque and asked the
people If they knew about what he in
tended to preach to them. No" they
replied well then, | shall not tell
you. and he stepped down The next
Friday be asked the same question.

answered, Yes. we know" We'll, If
you know, You do not need me to tell
you" and again he stepped down.
The third Friday. when the same In

rejoined. ''let those of you who know
tell those who don't know" And

Rapid

The great progress that has been
made In the methods by which rapid
movements can be analysed is well seen
in a certain series of photographs. The
subject of these pictures is a dog jump
ing yer a small bush. In the act of
making one jump the animal has been
photographed twenty-four separate
times, and each picture is not a sill
houette, as was the case with many
former attempts of this kind, but a lit
tie picture showing half tone and de
tail Some of the attitudes appear
very ludicrous, for they represent q
phase of movement which the eye is
not accustomed to and cannot appre-
ciate. Notably is this the case in the
commencement Of the jump. when the
dogs hind legs only touch the ground,
and again at the finish of the jump,
when his legs are gathered together 10
