ally imagined to acquire fair knowl-
edge af history. Any avrage man who

company. After reading the short
popular biographies, such as the Abbott
histories, let him take Plutarch, Smiths

How the Signature Of Cross Came Into
Use.

The mark which persons who are
unable to write are required to make
instead Of their signature is in the
form of cross, and this practice,
having formerly been allowed by kings
and mobiles, is constantly mentioned as
an instance of the deplorable ignorance
of ancient times. This signature is not,
however, invariably proof of ignor-
ance. Anciently the use of the mark
of the cross, as an attestation of the
good faith of the persons signing, was
required to be attached to the signature
of those who could write as well as to
stand in the place of the signature of
those who could not do so,

and locked up yesterday at Newark, N.
j. Caroline Warner, alias Josephine
Meyer, alias Caroline Muller, alias
Annie Davis, is 56 and an accomplished
confidence operator. Her nickname
comes from her ability to shed tears.
This faculty has enabled her to live by
crooked work for many years. Numer-
Gus complaints of nature tallying
with Weeping Caroline's methods have
been received recently by the police in
this city. One of the swindled was
William II. Sage, lawyer at No. 1876
Broadway. Caroline called on him,
said her name was Miller and that her
son had died in the Home for Incura-
bles at Fordham. She exhibited pa
per purporting to be power of attor-
ney and emitting her to remittances
from Germany. She had exhausted
her allowances, she said, and her son
would be buried in the Potter's Field
unless she could get $3.50. She wept
copiously as she related the story, and
Mr. Sage gave her the money. She
also secured from Mr.. Bill, of the firm
of Batchelder & Bill, $40; from Henry
b. Renwick, $40; from Rev. DR.. Ry-
lance, of st. Marks Church, $40, and
from Field c. Cotton. assistant secre-
tary of the Brooklyn Trust Company,
S15. Most of those swindled declined
to prosecute, but the detectives induced
a couple of them to do so.

PEACE RESTORED.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 11.-Hostilities
are over. At mass meeting of the
strikers this afternoon it was decided by
an unanimous vote and amid great en-
thusiasm that the militia should be
welcomed to the city by brass bands
and other ceremonies appropriate to the
occasion. 1t was also resolved that
any striker who should hoot the militia
or otherwise fail in proper respect to the
State 3 Representatives should be ducked
in the river and committee was ap-
pointed for that purpose. The burgess
was requested to invite all citizens hav-
ing no business in Homestead to depart,
as it was feared some unwise and anar-
chistic sympathizers with the strikers
might seek to perpetrate trouble. All
the leaders made speeches and three
brass bands of the city rendered their
services on the welcoming ceremonies
to the militia. No one doubts that all
will be peaceful henceforth.

Suddenly, still with his eyes fixed mp

large clasp-knife and opened it. Then
he rose and deliberately cut from the

to knot them together. The lady was
terrified almost to death. She expect

went quickly to sleep.

The f Iephant Frog.

The Paris Rappel, not to be outdone
by its contemporaries, who, during the
summer, startled the public of the
French capital by the most surprising
sea-serpent stories, recently capped the
climax by mentioning among the won
ders to be exhibited at the Chicago
worlds fair in the department for am
phibians the elephant frog. ''On the
shores of the Ohio" it says, there
exists gigantic frog-Ranula ele-
eggs of wild geese and ducks that nest
in the reeds of that river. AS it is not
endowed with teeth for breaking the
the shells it swallows the eggs as they
are laid by the web-footed tribes on the
banks of the rivers. They are, of
course, hard to digest in this form, but
the frog knows how to get out of this
dilemma 1t climbs a modern-sized
tree and dexterously drops down upon
its stomach, the conclusion breaking
the shell of the egg, which is now easily
digested in the shape of an omelette.
1t is highly interesting to observe his
frogship's blinking eyes, which give ex-
preston to the utter satisfaction en-
ioyed by their owner" This oviphagous
