AN INDIAN JAiLER.

The jail-fxed establishment consisted
of native jailer, with deputies and a
few paid warders, with semi-military
guard for sentry work, armed with
muskets and provided with ammuni.
ton, most Of which was so old and
damp from the climate that it had to be-
destroyed periodically, says the Nation
al Review. They were commanded and
drilled by handsome old pensioned
subahdar (native ofHcer). This old
gentleman wore collar of large gold
beads round his neck, and over his dress
Of spotless white an embroidered sword
belt supporteda native sword in a green
and gold scabbard. He was a very
striking-looking old man, with strict
notions of discipline and duty. His
father had been at Plassy with Give.
1t was part Of this officers duty to
make his morning report at the magis-
trate's house, if the magistrate had not
time to go to the jail on his morning
round. His usual report was brief and
emphatic. ''My lord, the jail is all
we'll" One morning he continued it
thus: ''Be it known to your lcrdship
that the Jail cat has had five kittens
Will your lordship order that the cat
have an extra ration of millz?" This he
said in the gravest voice, with his hand
still at his forehead in military salute.
When the order was given for the cats
extra ration he marched off without
the shadow of a smile on his face, while
the magistrate remained almost con-
vulsed with suppressed laughter.

A FAMOUS ONYX STONE.

The American Syndicate Arranging to
Send 1t to the Worlds Fair.
Some time last month these dispatches
told of the fact that an effort would be
made to exhibit at the worlds fair the
famous onyx stone found in one of the
old mines of Onyx mountain in Mexico.
The concessions granted by the govern
ment to the party of American capital
lists included all mineral land in the
mountain, and this stone, which has
been left where it was found several
years ago, is now the property of the
syndicate. They have made arrange
ments for shipping it to Chicago some
time this fall. The stone is oblong III
shape, being seven by five by three feet
in diameter and is very beautiful. 1t is
carved with hieroglyphics and is evil
IDENTIFY memorial or sacrifcial stone,
for the workmanship indicates that it
was done by the best artists of the time
when it was quarried out. On the top
is the figure Of a man in bas relief sur
rounded by scroll work and hieroglyph-
les, and at the feet of this figure lie sew
eral figures of nude children. The
inquire OF lllc lndu Is Lie Size duu GilS
face is most exquisitely carved, while at
the upper right corner is the figure of a
blazing sun. The man has child in
one hand and he holds a knife in the
other and he looks toward the sun.
Only two of the sides are finished.
These are decorated with scroll work
in the shape of vines which Irvine
around columns carved in relief in the
onyx. The veining of the stone is OF
four colors and runs in layers horizon
tally, SO that the top carving is in the
nature of cameo work, while the sides
are crossed with veining. At the upper
end is an elevated place, while just
above it are depressions, as if made to
fit the head and neck of person lying
on the stone, while the figure of the
man is in such a position that the vic
tim would be compelled to lie on the
carved surface, and consequently it is
supposed by some to be a memorial
stone.

T9E PLAGUE. OF AFRICA.

The awful cloud, black in its center

;ts borders, and scintillating on the side
where the suns rays fell, was advano-
ing straight toward the oasis. In an
other moment guessed the terrible
reality. says Hilarion Michel, in the
Chautauquan. 1t was an invasion OF
locusts bringing ravage and famine.
Noise is the only antidote for this evil.
the purpose being to frighten the To-
Gusts. A frightful and indescribable
t,mult now pervaded the city. 1t was
a terrible confusion of sounds caused by
the screams of men, women and chill
dren, and the clashing of pieces of iron
and the firing of guns. From our stand
point we could witness part of the
scene. The people were in their gar
dens, gathered around the palm trees.
and no one was to be seen idle. The men
and boys, each with tin pot hanging
upon his back, climbed the palms with
astonishing rapidity and sat upon the
top branches But vainly did they ex-
haust their lung force and the energy
of their arms; the awful, irreparable
disaster fell upon the city; it was ruin
for three-quarters of the population
and subsequent famine for all. Dur
ing eight hours locusts rained upon the
palms and upon all that was green
The trees were loaded with swarms of
them, the soil was covered, and even in
the streets the pedestrian could scarcely
avoid crushing some at every step
Evening came, enveloped in deep
gloom of woe, and drove home the dis
tressed and respondent people. The
sun rose with bright, sparkling rays,
showing the inhabitants the extent Of
their misfortune. The first sight was the
present aspect Of the lofty and graceful
palms. The leaf stalks, denuded of the
fringed borders, raised their points like
spindles; the green dates, whose stalks
had been devoured, were spread over
the ground; the soil, which was previ-
ously covered with lucern and garden
vegetables, was now bare as trodden
road; all verdure not too tough for the
teeth of the insect had been annihilated.
The desolation was complete and famine
certain, for the products Of the soil arc
the princical resource Of those little
clusters of life lost in the depths of the
desert.

A Map In Needlework.

Mr.. Samuel Owens, of Hartman,
Tenn. has rare curiosity in his pos
session-an heirloom that he could not
be induced to part with. It is a white
silk quilt on which map Of North Car

thread by Mr.. Owens grandmother
when she was pupil at school at
Raleigh academy, and but fourteen
years old The map is perfect, having
counties, towns, rivers, sounds, etc.
displayed. This wonderful production
was made in 1919, so that it is seventy
three years old. The little miss who

MEN WITH GOOD MEMORIES.

The genuine genius has great deal
Of trouble with his memory. Henry
Clay couldn't repeat verse Of any
poem. He couldn't repeat the old long
meter Doxology, praise God from
whom all blessings flow" but he never
forgot an argument, name or face.
DR.. Lerden, an intimate friend of Sir
Walter Scott, could repeat an act OF
parliament after hearing it's first
reading.
1t is an old story that Milton could re-
peat Homer. Charles James Fox once
paid visit to the town of Gorcum. He
was relating an incident that occurred
there, but could not think Of the name
of the town. The next day he was
giving dinner, and while carving he
startled his guests by calling out 'Gor-
cum, Gorcum." The name of the town
bad just occurred IT, him. A London re-
porter took no notes, and yet when an
unexpected debate sprung up and he
was left alone he could write it out YER
batim. When listening he closed his
eyes. He called it being held up by the
ears
According to the Irish Times Prof
Lawson boosted that he could, if the
Bible were lost, repeat the whole of it,
with the exception of a few verses.
Lord Macaulay made the same boast
about "Pilgrim's Progress" and Par
adise Lost 1t will be remembered
that none of the works named were
lost, SO that the gentlemen were never
put to the test. 1t is a fact, how
ever, that Macaulay had wonderful
memory.
When boy he went with his father
to call On a gentleman upon whose
table lay Scott's Lay of the Last Min
strel." Young Macaulay read it, and
when he reached home he repeated it.
