A Record of His Children's Cost.

I heard yesterday of practice of a
man of this town that should be brought
to the attention of all who are seriously
interested in questions concerning the
education of the young. This man has
a large family of children, boys and
girls, and the eldest is about eighteen.
Whenever child has been born unto
him he has bought blank book. He has
written the child is name upon the cover,
and he has entered upon the pages in a
firm, precise handwriting, all sums of
money spent upon the child from the day
of its birth. He can tell at glance the
cost of its food, its dress; what he paid
for the services of nurse and doctor; the
price of its schooling; the money value
of it's amusements, And he proposes
when each child is twenty-one to give it
a birthday feast, and after the cake is
cut he will present the book to his off
spring saying: "Here, you can see what
you have cost me-" The expenses of
the feast will be included in the sum
total. have forgotten to state that this
gentleman is of Scotch Descent Bos-

FIRST AMERICAN ANARCHIST.
James Few's Uprising to Overthrow
Government in Colonial Days.

There is general impression that the
Anarchist is foreign importation, and
that Johann Most is the first of the An
archists of this country. As u matter of
fact, the first Anarchist in the United
States was an American of English an
cestry, and he lived very long while
ago as we Americans reckon history.
james Few was his name. He was q
thrifty, industrious carpenter, born in
South Carolina about the middle of the
last century. His parents were simple,
honest people, and he was their only
child. As he grew up he became their
support When James Few had grown
to manhood there came a new Governor
to the Colony of Carolina. He was
Governor Tryon.
He had way of clapping on extra
taxes upon every pretext, which was
something the simple people of the
colony could not appreciate. In fact it
became very difficult for them to get
enough to eat, and drinking was out of
the question if they were to pay the
taxes. Now, you may sometimes reduce
fully object, but wiseacres let a mans
propensity to drink severely alone, or
else prepare for squalls.
To James Few the conduct of Tryon
seemed an outrage. He had no book
knowledge of any sort, but few years
later u great many others, who did have
a great deal of knowledge, agreed with
him and started the great Revolution that
founded the United States.
But the first anarch went further. 1t
seemed to him that law was the cause of
all the trouble. He thought if all the
Governors were abolished the people
would get along very nicely by them
selves. They needed no government to
collect taxes; in fact, there should be no
taxes. He did not stop with thinking.
He talked to his companions at his work
bench until he had won over a great many
of them.
One day friend of Governor Tryons
was brought before him accused of
several heinous offenses. The Governor
made farce of his punishment by order
ing the prisoner to pay a fine of one
penny for each offense This was the
last straw. The good loyal people be-
came indignant. James Few and his
companions felt that the opportunity had
come to test their theory. They armed
themselves and set about capturing the
Governor. But rumor of the proposed
uprising reached the Capital. Summary
measures were taken. The troops were
called out and the followers of James
Few fell like the summer grass. James
Few himself was captured, and without
even the farce of a trial was hanged to a
forest tree.
The people at once dispersed but the
seeds of the great Revolution were sown,
and few years later grew up and over
turned the old form of government.
But poor James Few was not the only
one who suffered from his unselfsh de-
sire to help his fellows. The little prop
erty which his domestic virtues had en-
abled him to accumulate was confscated,
and his aged parents were obliged to end
their days in an almshouse.-[ New York

Accepted the Challenge.

During Bishop Newmans missionary
trip around the world, while ago, he
spent some time in India. One day lot
of native pastors were called together to
hear the Bishops views on the best
methods of carrying on evangelical work.
Native converts, according to the mission
aries, are apt to think they know just
what to do and are perfectly qualified to
get along without advice. Bishop New
man began his talk, but was constantly
interrupted by the native brethren, who
jumped up one after another to remark
that they thought this or that would be
preferable. "Now, look here" finally
exclaimed the Bishop, losing his patience
little, "if any of you think you can
conduct this meeting better than | can
will you please rise?' There was silence
for moment as the Bishop glanced
around the room. Then four of the
brethren grayely rose and waited to be
counted.-LSt Louis Star-Sayings.

The Sea of Galilee.

The Lake of Gennesareth, called also
the sea of Galilee, ETC., situated in Pales-
tine, sixty-five miles north of the Dead
sea, is pear-shaped. The greatest width
is six and three-quarter miles, its extreme
length fifteen miles. The Jordan enters
it muddy at the north and passes out
clear at the south. The natural features
OF the lake are neither various nor es-
pecially attractive. The chief interest
connected with it is that Christ passed
much of his time on its shores. 1t
abounds in the best kinds of fish, which
made the southern part of it noted as
fishing ground. The towns around it in
former times are now mostly in ruins

A Clever Stratagem.

When the electric telegraph was first
introduced into Chill stratagem was
resorted to in order to guard the posts
and wires against damage on the part of
the Araucanian Indians and maintain the
connection between the strongholds on
the frontier There were at the time
between forty and fifty captive Indians
in the Chilian camp. General Pinto
called them together, and pointing to
the telegraph wires, said, "Do you see
those wires?" ayes, General" Every
good. want you to remember not to
go near or touch them, for if you do
your hands will be held and you will be
unable to get away" The Indians
smiled incredulously. Then the General
made them each in succession take hold
of the wire at both ends of an electric
battery in full operation, after which he
exclaimed: II command you to let go of
the wire!" 81 can't; my hands are be-
numbed!" cried each Indian. The bat
tery was then stopped. Not long after
ward the General restored them to lib
erty, giving them strict injunctions to
keep the secret and not betray it to their
countrymen. This had the desired effect,
for, as might be expected, the expert
ment was related Gin the strictest conf
dence" to every man Of the tribe, and
the telegraph ever since has remained
unmolested.-[ New York Herald.

Unique Ruins.

The London Times, of recent date,
publishes letter from Cape Town,
South Africa, which says that the Zim-
babye ruins, now being explored by Mr..
Bent, are the most unique in the world.
The walled inclosure, 260 yards round,
containing many phallic emblems, is re-
garded as being phallic temple. The
walls in some places are sixteen feet
thick and forty feet high. Two attempts
have been made to open the large tower,
which is solid and shows no opening at
the top. There are ruins on the hills
close by of the same age and style. These
consist of numerous walls and steps,
arches and walled-up caves. There are
indications that three persons occupied
these caves. The original builders were
probably PhGnician Arabs. The natives
have found phallic altar, sculptured
with birds and large bowls and with u
frieze representing a hunting scene.
There are four quaggas, at which man
is throwing a dart while holding dog in
a leash. Behind are two elephants.
Some blue and green Persian pottery
and a copper blade, plated with gold,
have also been found, but no inscrip-
tions. Picayune.

UNDER SIDE OF FLORIDA.
HiddeA Rivers That Flow Close to tn
Surface.

Until about twenty years ago the
vast grassy plain lying between
Gainesville and Micanopy, and known
as Payne's Prairie, was one Of the
most noted localities in Florida.
Stretching fifteen miles from east to
west and six from north to south, it
presented grand and beautiful spec
tacle when waving with green grass
and herbage. The old Indian chief,
King Payne, had his headquarters in
the neighborhood of it, and it came
to be known by his name. But in
1871, during a violent storm of several
days duration, the subterranean out
let to the waters of the prairie, known
as the great sink, became cloggsd with
moss and other debris that drifted
into 1T. Then the water rose over the
prairie to depth of from three to
twenty feet, and for twenty years the
prairie remained a lake.
Such phenomena are not rare in
Florida, and they prove that the sub,
terranean features of the State are
even more remarkable than those of
Une surface. Let a tourist travel
from Mariana to Gainesville, and
thence southwark to Brooksville, and
he could not fail to be convinced that
that portion of the State at least has
an extensive system of underground
waterways. Through those bottom
less, well-like holes at Silver Springs
one looks down into subterranean
river. "The DEVILS hopper" the
"deyil's punch BOWL" and thousands
of other abrubt depressions OF "sinks"
are caused by the cavern of the earth
or soft rock that spanned some hidden
river or creek. The outlets of some
of these underground streams have
been found off the coast, the fresh
water boiling up out of the sea.
But Florida is not unique in this
respect. In the region known as the
Great Basin there are but two streams
that do not find underground chan
nels Tor at least a portion of their
course. Innumerable streams are be-
lieved to flow entirely below the sur
race. A similar state of things ex-
lists In other portions of the West,
and In many places east of the Mis-
slssippi subterranean streams have
been detected. 1t is a well established
TACT that there is river flowing
under the bed of Lake Erie connect
ing the waters of Lake Ontario with
those of the upper lakes. The pc
cularity of Florida's system of natural
underground drainage is it's proximity

Geographical features are easily ex-

ODD BOOKS.
Queer Substitutes Used for Leaves in
0lden Times.

In some countries, leaves of trees are
still used for books. In Ceylon, tn,
leaves of the talipot, tree common OF
that island, are used for a similar pur
pose. The talipot tree belongs to the
palm family. 1t grows to about hun
dred feet high, is straight and has nc
real branches. When very old the tree
blossoms, and dies after ripening its
fruit. The tree never blooms but once.
The leaves used for books are cut by the
natives before they spread open, and are
of a pale brownish-yellow color they
retain for years. The characters are
impressed upon the leaf, and are rubbed
over with charcoal to make them show
more plainly. The leaves are then
strung together between covers of board,
or some less common material.
Early writers made use of linen or
cotton fabrics, of skins, and even of
scales of fishes, for writing. For long
period papyrus was used, the books being
made in rolls, being about one and half
feet wide and sometimes fifty feet long.
Papyrus was flag, or bulrush, growing
eight or ten feet high, found in the
marshes of Egypt; from its inner pith
the form of paper called papyrus was
made. A most extraordinary papyrus
was discovered at Memphis, supposed
to be more than 5000 years old. 1t
measured 100 feet in length. 1t is a
"funeral roll, and is preserved in the
British Museum. Papyrus sheets were
neatly joined, attached to stick, and
rolled upon it (whence we have our word
volume" from the Latin yolvere, to
roll.) The titles were written on tags
attached to the sticks, or inscribed on
the outside of the rolls. The rolls were
kept in round wooden boxes resembling
the d-fashioned bandboxes, and could
easily be carried about.
When the literary jealousy of the
Egyptians caused them to stop the sup
ply of papyrus, the king of Pergamos, a
city in Asia Minor, introduced the use of
sheepskin in form called from the place
OF its invention, pergamona, whence our
word parchment is believed to be de-
rived. Vellum, u finer article made from
calfskin, was also used. Many of the
books done on vellum in the middle ages
were transcribed by monks, and often it
took years to complete u single copy.
Books consisting of two or three leaves
of lead, thinly covered with wax, on which
they wrote with an iron pen or stylus,
the leaves being joined by iron rings or
by ribbons, were also used by the an
clients.
Books remained very scarce and ex-
pensive until after the introduction of
paper made from linen, and the invention
OF printing.

waiting crowd. As the two bows crossed,
the oarsmen stopped rowing in order to
steady the boats, which, however, by
this time had got up such speed that they
passed each other at tremendous rate.
At the moment of meeting, each of the
combatants, who had long since dropped
their banners and lifted their lances,
aimed at the target on the others shield.
There was a crash of boards that could
be heard a mile away, and, head over
heels, shield and all, one man went into
the water, and great shout rose from
the black line of fishing craft and from
the crowded banks. Then in the blue
lake shield was seen floating in one di-
rection, man swimming vigorously in
the other, and on the winning boat the
victor stood high above the oarsmen, his
arms extended, strong and athletic as a
young Hercules. = Century.
