The methods employed by the Partisan
authorities for communicating with the
provinces during the siege of Paris were
pe~rsevering and ingenious. The princi-
pal means Of sending letters was by bal
looms and carrier pigeons, but many
other plans were tried. It was almost
impossible for messenger to get through
the German lines. Even when other
difficulties could be overcome the dan
ger Of a search and a discovery Of the
dispatch was great.
Many of the messengers made incisions
in the skin and hid a dispatch under the
epidermis. Others provided themselves
with hollow ten centime pieces or hol-
low keys, which could be opened like a
box and in which dispatches could be
hidden. One was accustomed to hide
his dispatch under an artificial hollow
tooth. These dispatches q course were
written in cipher, and covered only a
fragment Of paper.
Attempts were made TO cross the
enemy's lines by following the caves and
natural tunnels under the left branch of
the Seine, and by diving and crossing
the bed of the river in diving suits, but
these plans failed.
A curious scheme was the putting of
letters into little hollow spheres of zinc,
and throwing these spheres into the
Seine or its tributaries, hoping that they
would float to Paris. They did float to
Paris, but not until after the armistice,
1t was supposed that they were stopped
by dams, or that they were discovered
and held back by the Germans until the
siege was at an end.-Youth's Compan.

Origin Of Lynch Law"

WCbster's Dictionary, title Lynch
law" says: 1.-The practice of Furnishing
men for crimes or offenses by private,
unauthorized persons, without a legal
trial. The term is said to be derived
from a Virginia farmer named Lynch,
who thus took the law into his own
hands" These are the main facts in re-
gard to the origin Of this celebrated
claw" which, as IA matter Of fact, is not
claw" at all.
In Campbell county, Va, some Of the
rankest and most obnoxious Tories were
taken care Of by law, but there were
many others not reachable by the statu-
tory enactment. This being the case,
Colonel Charles Lynch, Colonel Robert
Anderson, his brother-in-law, and one
Galloway, a neighbor, determined TO rid
their part Of the county Of its enemies.
They accordingly seized the leaders Of
the several Tory factions and nogged
them so severely that they were only too
glad Of the chance offered them to
leave, and leave for good"
This summary treatment having
proved 50 e1ectual in Campbell county,
it was soon tried in other counties where
King George had the strongest follow
ing. Such procedures Dor became
known as trials by Judge Lynch" and
the Justice obtained in such ourts a:
Lynch law.'-St. Louis Republic.

The fact that the kitchen door OF the
Collins cottage at Pleasant Harbor was
painted black led to an incident that
caused the Pleasant Harbor townspeo-
pie much amusement. Miss Laura Col
Inns, the elder of the two elderly women
who lived in the cottage, used to tell the
story thus:
Nv sister Emmeline is what you might
call absentminded. She gets her mind
set ON something, and then she doesn't
pay real strict attention to what she's
doing. One evening she came into the
kitchen where l was sitting and said,
"Tm going down to the corner to call on
Mrs. Stone"
And / said: Il will 60. It's a pleasant
evening for a walk; moonlight, and the
stars are out"
1 noticed that Emmeline had on her
big sunbonnet, but 1 didn't say anything
about it; everybody in the village was
used to seeing her wear it in the evening,
and even on rainy days. Invent on sew
ing, and in a minute l heard Emmeline
say: why, it must have clouded up
suddenly. There isn't II star to be seen.

] looked up, and there stood Emmelire
with the edge Of her sunbomet pressed
mp against the door. She had forgotten
to open it before she looked out to see
what kind of "a night it was, and OF
course the door being painted black that
made considerable diference.-Youth'

Eallam records that all through the
Sixteenth and the beginning of the Sew
enteenth century, patents to deal exclu-
sively in particular articles were granted
so lavishly TO the courtierS that hardly
a commodity remained free. Even salt,
leather and Goa; were the subjects of
patents, the list Of which, when read
over in parliament ia 1901, was 50 long

The practice Mas for the favored court
iers To sell their patents Of monopoly to
companies of nerchants-Or s~yudicates,
as we should call them nowadays-to
work them. Rival political parties
struggled, not tu redress the grievances
under which the people %groaned, but to
obtain a share Of the profits. If Essex
held Il monopoly Of sweet wine, Raleigh
held cue Of cards; indeed, it is hard to
say how many patents ei.her Of them

II is "a fact worth noting that the signs
used by the Indians of North America
are identical in may instances with those
employed by the deaf mutes Of today.
A short time ago a friend of the writer,
who had spent considerable time among
the Indians, but who had never talked
with a deaf mute before, conversed with
some pupils of the New York institution
by means of signs which he had learned
from the red men. Where arc you go
mgr and Il am going away On horse
back" werc the same when given 10y the
deaf mutes and by the visitor.
Another instance showing the sign
language to be a universal one was
when the mother Of the writer, herself
a deaf person, while attending a con-
venti0u Of instructors of the deaf in
France, c%onversed on various topics
with n mute friend by means Of signs.
The French lady had no knowledge Of
the English language, while the Ameri-
can knew hardly a word Of French
Gclilner's.

Rsyui Persons who own American Land.
According 70 the information and be-
lief Of a wide awake member Of the
Real Estate exchange, nearly all Of the
foreign potentates arc investors in New
York real estate. He declares that the
purchase Of a valuable piece Of property
in Nassau street, made about a year ago
by a foreign banking house, was an in
vestment Of Queen Victoria's. THE
queen owns other real estate in this
city said the well posted man, "and
she has bought thousands Of acres OF
land out west. The royal family Of
Germany has extensive investments In
this city and elsewhere, and 30 has tho
king Of Sweden. The ex-Empress Isa-
bella Of Spain owns several pieces Of
property in this city and in other parts
Of the United States. She Is a woman
Of great foresight. The land on which
the Western Union buAding stands was
once the property Of the Empress Eu-
genie, and l presume that she still has
some investments here.
king Humbert Of Italy Is reputed e
be a judicious buyer Of property in this
country, and persons suspected Of being
agents Of the car Of Russia have been
looking about on this side Of the water
for first class investments. l tell you
those people who are in the king bust
ness in Europe are shrewd. They can.
not tell how soon they may be shaken
of their thrones by political revolutions
and they mean to have something TO fall

rsruIlnr Table Cnstoms.

In q book euti led Domestic Manners
of the Middle A res we are told that in
those days diner tables were covered
by "a ''nappe' CT tableclcth. Upon it
were placed a large saltcellar, bread
and cups for wine, but Lo knives or
plates. The reason for the absence Of
the knives arose from the common prac-
tice in vogue Of people carrying their
own knives in a sheath attached to their
girdle.
In an early work, written by Lydgate

guests are told to bring no knives un-

~ n Death on Fikefa rear
Several years ago,w when the summit
house on Pixies peak was used as a sig
nal station, the occupants Of the hut
were a telegraph operator and q COM
panion. Winter had set in with more
than usual severity. Unexpectedly the
telegraph operator was taken sick and
failed 80 rapidly that the first day Of his
Illness plunged him into delirium. The
companion Of the operator was not ia
miliar with telegraphy. Their provisions
were growing short.
The second night brought no relief.
The sight Of his raving, half starved
comrade grew intolerable to the weary
nurse, who one night went ont ON the
mountain top. Scarcely had the door
closed behind him than reason returned
to the dying operator. With the little
strength that he had retained he dragged
himself to his instrument and flashed
over tho wire, down the mountain side,
that his companion had been lost IN the
mountain and that he could live but a
little while, but that they might yet be
rescued il assistance started at once.
Crawling back TO his pallet the sender
Of the message died. The wanderer at
length found his way back TO the Int to
have added to his cherries surroundings
the presence Of death. At the sight of
his l~feless comrade the last ray Of hope
faded, and he sank unconscious beside
the dead operator.
With the first intimation that there
was distress on the mountain top a party
Of willing men, mostly miners wihtering
at Colorado Springs, started for the sum
NIT. They reached the top after a days
weary travel, and just in time to resus-
citate the still unconscious man, who in
the end recovered Chicago Tribune.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
The Belt Line Ordinance Rushed
Through the Assem-
bly,.
After a Roast the Street Rail-
way Move Is Car
ried.

The assembly meeting called for 80
yesterday afternoon did not convene
until 5:15. for seven votes were needed
to pass the ordinance. giving the North
ern Pacific, Great Northern and 500
roads. or either of them, franchise
for a belt line to the cordage works, and
but six aSsemblymen were on hand, the
absentees being Daily, Lightner and
Van Slyke. At 5:l5 the others were
given up as hopeless, and President
Wolterstorff called himself and the
other five to order. On Mr.. JohnsOn's
motion, the report of the special joint
committee on street railway matters
was recalled from his committee on
streets. which Gid nothing with the re-
port. and it was placed on file.
The two ordinances recommended by
the committee on streets, commanding
the street railway company to build a
horse car line to the Como district and
an electric line Oh Charles. Minnehata
and other streets TO Grotto. were taken
up, and Mr.. johnson stated that he is
not entirely satisfied that they are for
the best interest OF the city, but as ev
cry member but one OF the JOINT COIL
mittee favorS them, and the passage of
the ordinances will not cut OFT negota
tions with Lowry, he would vote for
them. No other member had any ex-
plantations to make, and the ordinances
were passed by the six votes present.
Resolutions were passed giving the Tree
use CT Market hall to the relief society
"Bodenia" and to the cOOred Catholic
church for a fair. This action moved
Mr.. Doran to say that he is opposed TO
giving Market hall free to everything thai
comes along, and he thinks the practice
should be stopped by Jan. / next. The
others agreed with him, and a resolution
was adopted directing the committee on
public buildings to report at the next
meeting of the assembly a date from
and after which rental will be charged
for the hall and what the rental should
be.
At this point MIR. Lightner strolled
in, thus making the needed seven votes
for the belt line ordinance. and it was
was passed under a suspension OF the
rules.
Mr.. Doran stated that the mayor
wanted the assembly to adjourn until
this evening at 7:30, to then consider
some amendments to the Fifth Ward
Transfer company'S franchise. Some
body suggested that the aldermanic
committee OH streets is to meet today at
10 a. m. to consider the subject. and
that meeting of the board of alder
men is to be called for this evening, and
the assembly simply adjourned, leaving
the president to call tonighG's meeting
for an hour that will not conflict with
the aldermen.
