DESTROYED BY SILENCE.
The Unique Ending Of an Ancient City of
 LaCouia.

The Unique Ending Of an Ancient City of
 Laconia.
 AmyclR, if the old legend of its fate is to be relied upon. actually perisbed through silence. The legend concern ing the unique end of this ancient city is as follows: Amycl8e was a town of Laconia, founded by the Lacedemonian king, Amycl8. It was an independent city for many years, but was finally conquered by the Spartans- The city had been so often alarmed by false rumors of projected Spartan invasion that at last, weary of living in a state of absolute terror, it was decreed that it should be made public offeuse to re- port the approach of an enemy. So, when the Spartans at last actually ap- peared before the city, no one dared to warn the officials of their approach, and thus they were able to take the town with scarce an effort. There is, it must be admitted, another silence" myth concerning Amycle. Servius says that the city was founded by Pythagoreans. forbidden by laws of their order to speak or to harm ser pents. The result was that the snakes from the hills sought the precincts of the city, and. no one daring to speak of 1t to his neighbor or to harm the slimy creatures, one by one the inhabitants left until finally the city was complete ly turned into snake den

 '~rhe late Senator Hearst once told me-" said a newspaper man. s'he re- garded his possession of an immense fortune nothing less than miracle. I was furty-nine years old, he said when the TOW made over the discovery of the ConstOck silver mines set the whole coast wild. l had been disappointed in the work I'd been at, and found myself pretty nearly broke. l had enough to buy horse and the outfit, and started over the mountains from California with the boys. That broke me, and I wasn't feeling happy. because I'd worked and struggled and speculated a good many years, and it struck me as rather rough that man of my age should have to start out, as i did then, like young fellow. There were about ten or twelve of us in the party, and. eS l was blue, they let me alone rather, and my mustang being worn down, stopped on the trail. put my arm through the bridle and picked out a rock to stt on.
 "'The rest of the boys rode on. but l sat there. There wasn't any reason why l should particularly, only l did. The whip had was q willow switch I'd pulled from a tree while I rode along As sat there switched the dust of the trail, and thought shall go with them, or shall l go back? switched and switched, and thought and thought. I saw behind me all the hard work I'd done, all the chances I'd taken and lost on, and felt old and used up. and no good. My sense told me to turn back and make my fight where l was known. There was safety in that anyway. But I'd been camping night after night with the boys ahead of me, and it made me lonesome to think of parting company with them. So after switching and switching the dust on the trail. and feel ing weak and human because l yielded, l mounted my horse again and rode on after the party. got to the Comstoc6 and in six months l made half mil lion dollars. This is the foundation of what I've done since, Now, why shouldn't I have turned back when I hesitated? It would have been sensi- ble, ''conservative" to do that But iidn't. and because l didn't l won. If 1 you're ever inclined to think there's no such thing as luck. just think of me. ''

4 SAMARITAN PIG.
The Remarkable Reasoning Power Dis

The Remarkable Reasoning Power Dis
 played by a SOW.
 Like the goose the pig is a much maligned animal. It is taken for granted that they are both stupid to the core, and in consequence no one will make pets of them, and endeavor to find whether they really have any sense. Perhaps there is a prejudice against swine because they are so homely. but that is no reason why they should be slandered. For instance. here is a story of a good Samaritan pig: A Penn sylvania farmer mi ssed one of his hogs, and for three days was unable to find him. On the third day, the hired man, while feeding the pigs. saw a sow take an ear of corn in her mouth. trot across the lot and disappear in the thick under brush She returned in about an hour and the man told ms employer of the occurrence, and the SOW was closely watched when the drove was fed again. She ate her dinner, and then took a big ear of corn in her mouth and again started for the undcrbrush. She was followed quietly to little hollow in the wood, where the missing hog was dis covered. One of his hind legs was theld fast by the stout and springy roots of hickory tree between two closely growing forks of which he had stepped. and which had spread under his weight md then closed on his leg like a wise. The ground about was covered with sorncobs, showing how tbs SOW. " which lad evidently been prCsent when t,,e accident had occurred. had cared fol the prisoner. But for her he certainly would have perished, as he never could nave escaped from the tran he was in

Believe me, my son, that nine-tenths OF

IN AN INCuRATOR.
Hospital Surgeons Preserve the Life of
a Premsturely Born Infant
From the st. Louis Republic.


From the st. Louis Republic.
New YORK, Feb. lin one of the wards
of the Baby's hospital, at 657 Lexington
avenue, a baby, born prematurely, is
thriving in an incubator. The expectation
is that the child will emerge from the in
cubator in about two weeks about as well
equipped to enter upon the struggle for ex-
istence as is the ordinary weakly infant.
The incubator is a box about three feet
long and eighteen inches wide. There is a
! shelf in the box which serves as the foun-
dation for the thick bed of soft cotton upon
which the child lies. Over the box is
| slightly raised by a bit of weed for the pur-
| pose of giving ventilation. The heat is
supplied through a tin tube about three
| inches in diameter and is obtained from
! kerosene lamps which are kept burning day
! and night, regulated as to the amount of
flame by the thermometers inside the incu-
bator. The intention is to keep the temper
ature inside the incubator at about 92'.
| Stretching. twisting, rolling and squirting,
the infant, whose life the hospital people
have undertaken to save, is passing com~
fortably through the period Of incubation,
and while at first sight of him one is some
what shocked at his meagerness and skinni-
ness. he gradually gaZes at him contentedly,
| impressed and treasured by the history of his
CASE as releteu ny tne nOSplCel physician anu
| his nurse.
The little boy was born about two months
in advance of the proper time, and his
mother died just as he came into the world.
Had he at once been placed in an incubator
there would have been no doubt that he
would do well. But friend of the BOYS
mother undertook to bring him up, and
| kept him in her care for four weeks. When
she tnrned him over to the Baby's hospital
he weighed but three pounds, and was
terribly emaciated. 1t was decided
at once that there was but one way
to save the little fellows life, and
that was to put him into an incubator. The
boy has steadily improved. He takes his
milk twelve times day-part of it from
the bottle and part from the breast-and
he enjoys every mouthful When he came
to the hospital he had practically but one
lung, the other had collapsed. To-day the
collapsed lung has become servlceable
again.
1t seems almost too much to believe, but
there is probability that the helpless,
pitiable atom in the box may develop into
a strong, handsome man. The nurse says
| that her charge may some day be the
President of the United States.

II - II SERIOUSNESS.
From, the AiIlcauEee Sentinel.
The question "Are there ghoStsEn 10 asked
in all seriousness, and answered in the
affirmative, by no less a man OF science
than Alfred Russell Wallacs, in the last
number OF the Arena. Ordinarily, the de-
hberate convictions of a man of Mr.. Wal
lace's experience and training are not to be
touched lightly. But in the matter Of
ghosts, even the conclusions of an authori-
tative man Of science must show better
Credentials til n Mr.. Wallace's ghost offers
1t Is largely from the material gathered
by the English Society for Psychical Re
search that Mr.. Wallace fashions his ghost.
A certain number of persons claim to have
collectively seen the same apparition. Out
of this Mr.. Wallace forms a portion of his
ghost. A certain number OF other persons
tell of the effects of a phantom on an ami
NAL. This gives a little more material for
the specter. Other persons say that some
thing opened door 10 them. or blew out a
lamp. or playfully toyed with their bed
curtains Ibis gives Mr.. Wallace still more
material; but the very head and front of
Mr.. Wallace's ghost is made up of peculiar
ringing of bells in an English house in 1S4l,
and spirit photographs" in which appari-
tons not visible TO the eye appear on neg
alive, all of which is sworn to by another
number of persons.
Thus it appears that this goblin is mate
rallied through human evidence, a we'll
meaning, but VIGOROUSLY fallible source,
the falhbility of which even some members
Of this very psychical society have on a re-
cent occasion been compelled to admit. Mr.,
Wallace does not axe refuge in illusion to
explain his facts, but jumps too easily TO
the supernatural explanation.
Always this is true-that it requires q
person familiar with all the possibilities of
deception, and with practical and expe-
testimony, to reach just conclusion or an
acceptable conclusion respecting things that
seem to lie beyond the operation Of familiar
laws. In other words, Prof. Hermann, whose
business is the deception of the senses and
mind, is more competent TO interpret the
evidence which Mr.. Wallace offers than any
man of science that ever lived.
