REVOLUTIONARY WIDOWS.
Venerable Women Whose Husbands Had
 Fought in the War.

Fought in the War.
 The last revolutionary soldier died years and years ago. But the revolu- tionary widows are still with us. Twenty venerable women whose hus- bands fit for American independence are carried upon the pension rolls. It is amazing how the widows of soldiers holdon. At the present time, says Wash ington letter, Uncle Sam is disbursing S3S,S ,S47 year to the old soldiers of the war of 1912. But the widows of the old soldiers of the war of 1912 are drawing in pensions the snug sum of $1, ,263, 239 annually. When we get down to the Mexican war we find the survivors little the best of it. They draw S1, 72S, 027 year. The Mexican war widows get S695, ,O54. But the widows are creep ing up on the survivors. It will be only a few years until the Mexican war widows will be drawing more pen sion money than the survivors. That is the way the pension laws work out. At the Pension Office this is well under stood. It is explained in a few words. The old pensioners marry young wives, and leave them their blessings and pen- sions. The pensioners of the civil war will reach their maximum in numbers eight or ten years from now if there are no more pension laws enacted. But the widows list will keep on growing for quarter of a century. Fifty years from now there will not be Grand Army man living. Seventy-fve years from now grateful Republic will still be reimbursing widows for what their husbands suffered at Gettysburg and Chickamauga. Women are yet to be born who will become widows of old soldiers and draw pensions for their husbands services in the war of 1S61-5.
 There are to-day over 100,O widows on the pension rolls. The pensioners number 400, 900. These figures will be reversed in twenty years. Ninety-eight thousand widows draw SIP month. Last year the civil war pensioners drew ST, ,S77,619. The civil war widows drew 9,0O6, ,S57, more than one-fourth of the magnificent total.

Titles Recently Given to High Peaks in
 New Guinea.
 There has been so much slaughter in recent African explorations that nobody has cared to bestow much attention upon the geographical snobbery which has accompanied them. Amid all the butcheries. torturings, floggings and cannibalisms which our pioneers of com nerce and Christianity have perpctrated or permitted or winlIcd at. it seems a small matter thet they should have chosen to call all the rivers, lakes, mountains and waterfalls which they met by the names of British royalties or melodies, But in New Guinea, where there has been little crime, critics are free to give their minds to the comic aspect of the explorations. "A gentle manof the name of MacGregor-Sir ", MacGreCor-I find, has been over there making perfect burlesque of the local nomenclature, says Henri Labouchere, "Here is an abridged list of the mount aims (very fine mountains, I am given to understand, before they were re- christened). The names, it is only fair to say, are not all the MacGrogor's. Here and there he mentions peak which had suffered at the hands of previous 'Arry'."
 But here is the list: The Owen Stan ley range, Mount Victoria, IIuxlcy's Pinnacle, Mount Musgrave, Mount Knutsford. Mount Henry Forbes. Mount Albert Edward, Mounts Scratchley, Gillies, Cameron, Douglas, Forbes, Parker and Jack Tanna. Some of these mountains are over eleven thousand feet high. Is not that rather big for the gentlemen whose names are tackled on to them? ''Who tied Dolabella to that sword?" Will not posterity few hundred years hence be asking some such impertinent question with regard to Messrs. Huxley and Henry Forbes?

RANK AMONG ACTORS.
Fine Distinctions of Etiquette Observed in

Fine Distinctions of Etiquette Observed in
 the Grecn-Rooia.
 There is no place under heaven iT which hierarchical grades are so rigidly established as in the dancers green room at the European opera-houses. The star, says the Chicago News, bears exactly the same relation to the sub jects as a queen does to the ladies of the court, and the subjects the same rela- ton to the coryphees as, say, the ladies of the bedchamber to the dressers oi her Majesty. The quadrille is a mob of novices having no rank to speak of.
 Were a subscriber to pit or box tier. who has his entree to the green-room. engaged in a conversation in the wings with a member of the quadrille, and a coryphee to come up, the former would have to go away. The same etiquette would be observed by coryphee if subject came up; and if the star deigned to speak to the gentleman the subject would be expected to fall back in an at titude which would express the deep sense she felt of the honor done her by the star in deigning to address the ad- mirer of the subject.
 A star would think herself called upon to resent being invited to dine with an inferior member of the corps de ballet unless her leave were first asked. The etiquette would be to ask her what members it might be agreeable for her to meet, and whether, if she did not de- sire to make choice herself, it might bc agreeable for M'dlle Such-a-One to be invited? Nor would it be thought rude if she made choice excluding the danseuse so named. Subjects stand in relative position toward coryphees. But young ladies of the quadrille should be only asked to meet each other,

HOW 10 FIND A MINE. >
Different Sorts of Mines Are Discovered in |
 Various Ways.

Few people in this part of the country have any idea of the difficulty of finding a mine. A man who follows it for a living must thoroughly understand the nature of the district in which he is. Different sorts of mines are found in different ways, says a writer in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat If you are in a placer district, of course, you have noth- ing to do except to walk along stream, with pan in your hand, and test the soil by washing till you come to pay dirt. But if you know nothing about it you will waste a great deal of time test ing dirt that an experienced proSpector would know at a glance contained no gold. In true Assure or contact dis trict the experienced prospector will walk along the bottom of the gulches looking for ''foats," although he ex- poets to find the mine far up the mount ain side. The float is vein matter which breaks off with the settling of the mountain and rolls down it's sides. The prospector who is acquainted with the district knows it at once, and when he finds it climbs the mountain till he as- certains where it came from. A tender foot would never know what it was.
 But sometimes a tenderfoot strikes it richer than anybody. The Silent Friend mine at Pitlin, Col, which showed a nine-foot vein of solid galena at the grass roots, was found by two Swede railroad hands who didn't know what the mineral was, and gave away three fourths of their interest before they dis covered it's value. Experienced pros pectors had been over the ground thou sands of times, but there were no ex- ternal evidences of the lead. The Swedes found it by rolling powder down the mountain. The mineral cropped out from the place where the powder had been.
 The great carbonate fields of Lead vile were found by a man who was thought insane for sinking shaft where there were no external evidences of mineral. He found the carbonate in a blanket vein," lying level as sheet of water, a great distance below the ground. A regular prospector would never have sunk shaft there. But where one tenderfoot strikes it that way hundred thousand get broke and go home dlsgusted.

POPULAR PLAGIARISM.
An ORense Which Is Very Often Commit
 ted UncOnsciously.

A preacher of New York has been ac- cused of plagiarizing from brother in the pulpit two sentences which he in- troduced into one of his sermons recent lv, and considerable fuss is being made about the affair. This charge of plagiarism, says the Boston Traveller is being made very frequently against writers of late. There surely never has been time when somany authors have been accused of stealing from others or their craft as to-day. We have no req son to believe that they are less honest than they used to be, and there surely must be some reason for this curious state of things. This reason may b, found in the fact that the world is rap idly growing old; it has, by the way been growing old for good many years.
 It is only within a few years since we discovered that mother earth had, wit feminine unscrupulOusness, deceived n basely with regard to her age. Conse quently new ideas are scarce; our an ccstors gleaned the field of originality and left us a rich legacy of though which we have both consciously an, unconsciously appropriated as our own Besides, the human mind as it advance. by the process of evolution. becoming laore penetrative and absorbing, seize upon ideas spontaneously, as it were and not at mental volition of tn thinker, and is frequently deluded int thinking that these ideas are self-gen erated.
 It is familiar fact that one may un consciously plagiarize, not only th thoughts that one hears expressed, bu thc very words that give them expres sion. It is almost impossible to tracC the subtle workings of the mind of tn highly developed and sensitive individ nal, susceptible to the most delicate in pressions. There are many minds sC highly cultured and so susceptible t. such impressions that they are almOs, claiGvoyant Indeed. it is not at all i'm probable that as we advance in civiliza ton clairvoyance will become one O. the higher faculties Of the educateC man. In the case of the New Yorl minister, who has been accused plagiarism, it is probable that, thoug' he may have appropriated the words 0 another, he did so unconsciously, aE. ozght, therefore, not be condemned O. censured for it.

QUEER IDEAS OF AMERICA.
The Germans Think It Is Not a Large
 Country.

The Germans Think It Is Not Large
 Country.
 Americans who leave the beaten track of travel in Germany are always ob- iectS of more or less interest to the peo- pie, says the New York Tribune. There is the curiosity due to the great distance that the visitors have come from, and besides German who has not a rela. tive or at least a friend in this country is rarity. The traveller is asked all kinds of questions about the United States, and often a most lamentable ignor- ance is displayed by the Germans about the distant country. A case in point is related by New Yorker who spent some time one summer in a village in Hanover, at some distance from rail- road. He was visiting a physician whom he had met at Berlin in the uni. versity days of both of them.
 One afternoon the physician, accom- panied by his friend, drove to farm house to visit sick child. When he alighted the American remained in the vehicle. In the course of his call the physician happened to mention that his companion was from the United States. As they drove away an old lady rushed out of the house, gesticulating wildly, and calling on them to stop. They did this, and she ran up, all out of breath, shouting:
 ''How is my son? He is in America.
 She did not hear of the New Workers nationality until after the physician left the house, and ran to make inquiry about her son, who had been in Amer ica for fifteen years, The woman had received no word from him or about him for several years. She thought, of course. that every one in America knew every one else there. The foreigner had much difficulty in explaining that he had never heard of her son, who was in Minnesota when he wrote his last letter. For some time the good woman believed that the New Yorker was an impostor and that he did not come from America at all. ssSs<4e.s,se.ze 4x azsae

WOMEN IN JAPAN.

 the Treatment Here Described?

the Treatment Here Described?
 Like the Chinese, and in fact ever1 other Asiatic race, the Japanese enter tain no respect for women, whom the. regard as creatures of inferior intelli gence, resembling brutes in being without a soul. Thus it is almost i'm possible to bring any untraveled JaI anese to comprehend the deference which the men of civilized nations pa1 to women. The latter, in his eyes, arc solely fitted to act as the servants-nay even as the slaves-of the stronger sex seldom, if ever, is the wife permitted t sit at table with her husband, no matte. how high her rank may be, and whel admitted to his presence she is force, by etiquette to approach in the sam manner as the domestics, namely, oI all fours, with repeated prostrations. Imagine a younT and delicately nurtured American girl, such as, for in stance, the fair Qual1eress of Philadcl phia, who has always been accustomeC to the most thorough deference anC courtesy, thrown for the first tim among a set of men such as the untrav eled friends of her Japanese husband men who are devoid of every feeling not alone of civilized respect for hel sex, but even of the most elcmentar, notions of civilized decency. Anybod. who has lived among the Japanese, as have, writes a New York Tribune cor respondent-not as mere tourist unde. the tutelage of an interpreter, but i direct contact and understanding thei lalguage-will bear me out when 1 as. sert that it is impossible for whit woman to live among the natives il Japan without having every feeling o1 wofnanly respect and deiicacy out ragged and, in course of time, complete lY blunted.

Official Investigations Which Modify t,
 Early Reports of Unspealzable Horrors.
 The horrors of life in the two CO vents of Naples have recently form the subject of animadversions by t anti-clerical journals in Naples. The reports coming to the knowledge of !, procuratore del re have led to the C termination to investigate the esta lishments in order to ascertain t. foundation of the accusations.
 ''One of the convents," says the Lo~ don Times correspondent, lis known the Thirty-three, though the number the inmates has been reduced to tive ty-nine, of whom only sixteen are nu.' the rest being rather servants; tli other is called the Sepolte Vive-buric, alive.
 ''In the former no irregularity wa found beyond the concealment of thci occupation of building which belong to the hospital for incurables, ant which will be reclaimed for hospita uses so far as it is not necessary for th remaining members of the cOmmunit[ The quarters are spacious and eve magnificent, and at the inspection not ing seemed to require interference b yond the appropriation of part of t. buildings to the needs of hospital service
 ''With regard to the community know as the Sepolte Vive quite a differen state of things existed. According t. the official reports the nuns were con sidered as cut off from the world anC from all intercourse with their friends and were only known by their baptia nal names, and until the judicial in, vestigation takes place it will be impos- sible to ascertain who they are.
 ''There does not appear, however any reason to suppose that any wer immured against their will or that the desired to be liberated, but it is clear that some of the inmates have been ad- mitted in violation of the law, which after a certain period forbade the re ception of any more new members O. any religious community. In one case a very beautiful woman was only twenty-nine years of age, and as the latest date at which, according to law, any reception of nun in any convent in Italy could take place was 1866, ex- cepting in that portion remaining under the Pope. where the date was 1870, she has apparently been received in violation ol the law, which renders all ecclesiastical authorities subject to q criminal prose cution.
 ''In the Sepolte Vive the cells were found so nauseous from constant occu- patton and utter want of ventilation that the atmosphere is described by one of the visitors as sicllening. The in mates do not appear to have been pro vided with any occupation beyond re- igious contemplation, and some of them are represented as reduced to a state of hebetude, so that it was doubt ful if they could give an intelligible ac- count of themselves or their former re- lations with the world. Their manner of life seems to have been ascetic in the extreme and as nearly as possible justi- flying their title, The Buried Alive Besides the nuns garb they wear vails, which are of close, heavy stuff, almost enough to impede the breath.

AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
Does Corresponding On the Typewritel
 Change the Style.

Does Corresponding on the Typewriter
 Change the Style.
 The Listener, of the Boston Tran script, after a good deal of observation, is quite sure that the typewriter is a bad thing for the literary style; but of course he could not pretend that the literary style of every author who uses it is injuriously affected by writing with a machine. The diction of certain writers might even be improved by it. The Listener is convinced that, as a general thing, the typewriter produces a sort of staccato, disconnected, jerl1y style; to change the metaphor, a flesh less and bony style, and awkward withal. What is written with the ma chine seldom has the ease and express iveness that the same authors hand writing might have possessed.
 The special word by word planning that goes with it, be it ever. so slight and even unconscious, does get in the way of free expression, and there is tendency in the writer to think out his sentences less thoroughly, and even to use stereotyped expressions, which fall in more conveniently with ones prac- tice. In spite of all that may be said by operators about the process becom- ing ''instinctive" after time, it could not possibly become as completely instinctive as handwriting is unless everybody wrote from childhood with the typewriter and nothing but the typewriter And even if everybody did, it might require generations before the operation could become as instinct i've with civilized peoples as handwrit-

AN ANCIENT TiMEPIECE.
Silver Watch That Had Laid There
 Over One Hundred Years.


 A silver watch that appears to have been resting on the bottom of the Mer- ,inac river, near Lawrence, Mass, for T century or two was found by Charles Blackwell recently, says the Jewellers Weekly. Attached to the watch was 9 long, heavy chain, both ends of which were fast in the ring, but twelve incIes above the fastening of one end the chain had been cut nearly in two.
 As the chain is made of silver wire over an eighth of an inch thick it must nave taken heavy blow of a sharp in- trument to divide it. The outside of he watch was once finely engraved, put on the side which lay uppermost he design can not be deciphered, as the .ction of the water has nearly smoothcd he plate. The under side shows the engraving perfectly.
 On the face of the watch under the hands, in small letters, is printed: ''Jotn Bowles, Horologer to his Majes ty, 19S Threadneedle street, London. !" On the inside of the outer case is en- -ravcd: ''Presented to Joshua Arm trong cn his twenty-frst birthday by 1is loving mother, Prudence Armstrong, April 10, 1920" The watch was found beside an old musllct, which bore evi- lenee of having been broken in hand to-hand struggle. Whether these relics mark the scene of an accident or a tragedy can never be known. They were found near a once famous hunting ground of the Indians.
