Wonders wrought.

The enormous depth OF the great
COmstock mines in Nevada and the
gigantic and incomprehensible weight
OF the mass OF stones and earth resting
upon the timbers (Which actually hold
up the mountains that have literally
been h~oney-combed by the miners),
have wrought wonders which puzzle
the deepest thinkers. For instance,
queer polished sticks, as smooth as
dressed mahogany and not thicker
than your wrist, are often taken out of
deserted portions of the mines. They
are as hard and as heavy as iron, and
a knife of the best material will not
make a scratch on them. Do you have
any idea what they are? Drill cores,
you think, but they are not. Original
ly they were solid oak timbers 12x12
inches square. But why are they no
thicker than a walking-stick upon re-
moval after having seer years of
service? The weight OF the mountain
bearing upon them from all directions.
perpendicularly as we'll as laterally
(for it Is only in this way that mines
OF enormous depth can be safely tim
bered) has wrought the wonders seen
in the polished stick. Sometimes these
transformed timbers are found in
small sections, sometimes in long
pieces, and are taken out where cave
ms have occurred and displaced the
workings.
1t is a well-known fact that papcl
can be compressed until it will be so
hard that a diamond will hardly touch
1t, but no known mechanism of the
present or the past has such power to
compress and work marvels With
wood.-St. Louis Republic.

His Fine speech,

In the Hungarian Parliamentary ses-
sion of 1911, a certain Baron Sziel
lived in Pressburg, with two intimate
friends. George Mallath and Barthel
Szemere. One day the baron became
envious of their ~laurels, He called
Szemere aside and said to him: My
good Szemere, write me a Speech
Most willingly, my dear friend: about
what would you like to speak:?n 1t
is all the same to me, if the speech is
only a nice one-wonderfully nice"
''Iou will be satisfied with me- he
answered, and mex day brought the
manuscript. The baron memorized
the speech and delivered it on the
third day. The chamber re-echoed
with 'vivas" and applause. At this
moment the president rose and asked:
us anybody here to answer this
speech" The baron looked sneering-
ly around. The members all remained
silent. Then Bartholomaeus Szemere
arose. He began: Worthy gentle
men, what the orator said is from be-
ginning to end incorrect, and then he
began to show, in an able speech. the
mistakes the baron had made. Don't
you believe him. gentlemen" the
baron cried angrily, interrupting him
suddenly; lit was he himself who wrote
the speech for me-" Every one of the
ffty-two members rolled in his seat
nearly convulsed with laughter, and
then and there the baron made a VOW
never again to speak in public Ar
gonaut.

Foo Quick For Him.

The only man who. ever was too
quick for Joe Dye, the bad man of
Ventura, was Petroleum Scott the old
Ventura oil man, a tall, why, nervous
chap, who would be the terror of
stenographers if he were a public
speaker. Phillips Brooks is a leisurely
drawler compared to Scott. Scott and
Dye had a legal contest over an oil
claim on the Sespe, and, while the
case was pending, Scott prudently
avoided discussing it with Joe, whose
temper and trigger-inger were no.
t~oriously quick and apt to act in con-
cert. One day, Scott and Dye met in
a Santa Paula saloon, and, sitting
down at a table together, clinked
glasses and chatted about things in
general. Scott carefully abstained
from talking about oil-claims, but Joe
finally preached the subject and made
some statement about the records that
was not correct. This is the way Scott
tells the story: Without thinking, I
said, Joe, you're a damn liar, and as
o o as the words were ont OF my
mouth, he yanked out his revolver and
stuck it under my nose. But I was too
quick for him. l took it all back be-
fore he could shoot"

A BURMESE CUSTOM.

Every Boy Is Tattooed at the Age q:
Fourteen Years.
OF all Burmese customs. one of the
most singular is that Of tattooing the
person from the waist to below the
knees, with figures in black ink.
Every man in the whole of Burmah is
thus adorned; and, unless his skin be
unusually dark. he looks at a little
distance as if he were clothed in g
tight-ftting pair of knee-broeches,
This mark of manhood" which IS
usually conferred when tho subject IS
between - and IA years Of age, is Il
very painful one, and the agony,
which must necessarily be of the most
intense, is often prolonged from thre,
days to q week. The subject. stupo-
fed with opium. lies insensible to the
pain, while one figure after another
gradually appears on his skin. Tie
instrument used by the tattooer IN
doing this dainty work is a brass 70
nearly 2 feet in length and J inch in
diameter. weighted at the top with a
little ornamental figure and provided
at the other end with a hollow point,
divided into four sharp points by cross
Sits. Deep as the points of this stylus
sink into the flesh they seldom draw
blood, but the limbs and body soon
swell in a manner that would alarm
anyone who did not know what the
final result would be.
Eight rupees is the usual fee paid
the tattooer for his weeks work. The
figures that compose the design vary
little, consisting, az a rule. of tigers,
dragons and devils. Each of these
figures is usually surrounded by a
border sentence invoking good luck
upon the owner of the skin whereon
they are inscribed. The Burmese
have many curious customs, the tat
tooed knee-breeches being n of tho
most singular. st. Louis Republic.

THE PRAISE OF BLIND PIGS,
A Strange Tale Told by Eva Carson Ii
Earpcr's Young peopie.

- q VIVA W w S;tTSOh III
Harpcr's Young People.
There was a bear who danced for a
living. He did not adopt this occupa-
ton from choice, but from necessity,
and because his master carried a
strong whip, and had a quick arm. %
But he was a conscientious bear, and
anxious to do his best, although it was
not the sort of work he preferred. He
danced carefully, and practised his
steps along the road, when he travel
led beside his master from town to
town.
One day executing a new waltz as
he went, he passed a monkey, who sat
on the topmost rail Of a fence, and sur
veyed the bears performance with O.
quiet smile.
What do you think of my dancing,
sir?" asked the bear, wishing to hear
the opinion of one who had a reputa-
ton Tor wit and wisdom.
ut is bad enough replied the
monkey. ''You are a tremendously
clumsy fellow. But you have Il GER
tain heavy style of your own, and may
improve if you apply yourself long
eno, III.
Ii remarks saddened the bear, but
did not prevent his still trying painful
ly to make his steps correctly.
Presently he came to a couple of pigs,
half blind, who lay doing in the sun
shine beside the road.
."What do you think of my dane
ing?" asked the bear. He was foolish
enough to ask everyone the same
question.
'Beautiful! F&luisite!' cried one
pig, without opening her eyes,
"Such enchanting grace. such a
lovely figure, such perfect time!n
grunted the other. Beautiful! beauti-
full" and they both fell asleep again
Immediately.
Then the bear, suddenly seeing what
a simpleton he was. sat down and
groaned, hiding his nose in his paws.
"Now what do you mean?n cried his
master wrathfully raising his whip.
'HGet up, and go on with your steps.
Is that approval enough? What more
do you expect? Dauce again, that
you may have praise"

keys criticism worried me; but he
knew what he was talking about, and

Extraordinary Jumping Feats.

compared with the extraordinary do

one of the main athletes at the Olympic
games, his enormous jump forming

Yorkshire jumper named Ireland

A Strange Bird.

A strange bird, which has attracted
the attention of hundreds OF people,
has been on exhibition on the farm of
John Rodabaugh, a farmer living near
St. Mary's, Ohio. The bird resembles
an owl very much in form, has a head
shaped like a heart. the face of a mon
key, Il snowy white fur adjoining it's
face. while the feathers are of a beau
tiful and delicate yellowish gray, with
the tail of a turkey. The bird was
caught a few weeks ago while the
family were returning home from
church, and not until it had received
a load of shot did it allow itself to be
taken captive, and then it's captor was
fearfullY lacerated in the fight that en-
sued. 1t utters a noise similar to that
of the squeal of a pig, and is fed
wholly on small birds, which it takes
into its beak alive, throwing out the
bones and feathers afterward.

The Cars Journey.

1t is a serious matter for ordinary
travellers when the czar of Russia
starts on a journey. The other day,
when he went from St. Petersburg to
Moscow, a trainful of business men
proceeding in the opposite direction
was put on a side track in order that
the imperial train might pass, and for
two hours everybody was kept the
closest prisoner. All the doors and
windows in each car was closed and
locked, and special sentries we're posted
to see that no one attempted to open
them. During the preparations for
the czar's trip there was an almost
total cessation of postal and Geographic
communication between Moscow and
St. Petersburg for two whole days.

Politics in Their Names.

The recent death of Lecompton
Constitution Bill at a New York hospi-
tai, aged 81 years, disclosed the fact
that his father. the Hon. James A.
Bill, of the country town of Lyme,
Conn, had q very queer way of naming
his children. He christened them
with the name of the most important
national event at the time of their
birth. Another son is named Missouri
Compromise Bill, and equally odd
names were applied to other children.
Mr.. Bill is notable in his town,
county and state. He has a wonder
fully fine large farm on the shore OF
the sound, which is stocked with great
droves of fancy cattle. He has Angora
goats and European and Oriental
sheep. He has taken great interest in
agricultural fairs, has been president
of the New London County and Con-
necticut State Agricultural societies
repeatedly, and usually takes most. of
the premiums at the fall shows for his
exhibits. He is a short, stout gentle
man of agreeable manner. 1t is a
curious fact that Mr.. Bill never had

Greek, then, and Latin are two
members OF that great family of Ian
guages of which u own and most of
the other languages of Europe are also
members, writes Professor Freeman,
in Macmillan's Magazine. They are
the two which were the earliest to
stand forth in the record of European
history. They are the two which for
many ages stood side by side without
fellow as the two civilized tongues of
Europe. They are the two which
have had, each in it's own way, the
greatest influence owe the kindred
tongues which came on the field in
later times. No tongue of Europe, no
people speaking any tongue of Europe,
could have been what it is if the
Greek and the Latin tongue had not
been there before them.
One has sometimes heard the claims
those tongues pressed on the ground
that they are dead languages" Their
real claim rests on the ground that
uney urc not dead languages. Put the
most living of all. The tongue of the
Hittites and the B%abylonians are dead
languages; they are most proper sub
jects Of special study for specialists
whose tastes lead that way; but, be-
cause they are dead languages. they
are therefore unfit to be insisted on us
as essential-in the schoolmaster's
phrase ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for a
whole university. But the tongues of
Hellas and Latium, the tongues which
have affected every stage Of European
history from its first beginnings till
now, the tongues which still abide, in
one shape Or another, on the lips of
a great part of Europe, are tongues
emphatically living. Each has had
its influence, but the influence of each
has been Of a different kind. The in
fuence of Greek has been for westerns
mainly indirect; it has been an in
tluence of example and analogy, IN
influence working largely by the hep
of Latin. The influence of Latin has
been direct and universal; it has
touched and modified everything.
