"A prehistoric canoe was unearthea

A Big Question,

Why do not the Cinnamon who go Il

into the United States, though they can
not get here without heavy cost and much
trouble to themselves, and though they
are liable to arrest when they get here, as
violators of our anti Chinese laws? Is il
because the Mexicans, Cubans. ahd Can,

less particular about the washing of those
they have, than the Americans, or is il
because the fan-tan, pipehitting, theatri.

Canada, Cuba, and Mexico, or is it merely
because they like to come to country
which they are prohibited from coming

SiOries of Daniel XNehsfcr.

The following anecdote of Daniel Web
ster, who was, in 1906, member of
Phillips Exeter Academy, was related to
Of Exeter:
A few days after Mr.. Webster had en-
tered Exeter Academy he returned to his
boarding house one evening in a very de-
spondent mood, and told his friends there
that the city boys in the academy were
constantly laughing at him because he
was at the foot of his class and had como
from the back woods.
The next day Nicholas Emery, who
WAS then an assistant tutor in the acad-
emy, urged Webster to think of nothing
but his books, and added that all would
yet come out right
The advice was needed, and at the end
of the first quarter Mr.. Emery, muster
ing his class in a line, formally took
the arm of young Webster and marched
him from the foot to the extreme head.
At the end of the second quarter, when
the class was mustered, Mr.. Emery said :
Daniel Webster, gather up your books
and take down your cap"
The boy obeyed, and thinking that he
was about to be expelled from school, was
sorely troubled.
The teacher soon dispelled the illusion,
for lie continued: "Now. sir, you will
please report yourself to the teacher of
the first class! And you, young gentle
men, will take an affectionate leave of
your classmate, for you will never see
him again"
They never did see hiS in that class
room again, but the day came when the
eye Of the nation beheld him-Boston

Evolution Of the Stove.

There is nothing new under the sun;
and though the modern stove is a vast
improvement upon the ancient fire box"
stoves in some respects quite similar TO
those now in use existed l 800 years ago.
Under the lava and ashes which over
whclmed Pompeii the Roman kitchen
WAS just ns well preserved as tie Atrium,
and the stove of that date was as safely
kept packed in the scorie of Old Nesuv-
us as the statue of Apollo. There were
some curious things about these old
Pompeiian stoves. At the bakers there
was an oven, or range. in which one pound
loaves, stamped with the kind of -four
used, were baked by the dozen. They
went in dough on one side and came out
neatly polished loaves on the other.
There was an arrangement by which
liquid was automatically dropped upon
the surface of the loaf while baking to
give the crust mnch-przed glossy, shin
ing surface. Then there was a triple
hue, too, connected with those ovens. for
the smoke and gases, which modern
stove manufacturers advertise. Little
charcoal stoves were in use there as well
as in some parts Of Europe now, and in
addition to heaters there were a variety
of urns more complicated than those of
the present time and serving the purposes
OF the boiler and warm oven attachments
Of to-day. The Pompeiian stove was an
evolution of itself. 1t was the outcome
Of high state of Roman civiliza-
ton. 1t preceded the modern stove,
coming from the same common
tire-box. In colonial days our an
cestors cooked in freplaces, and kept
themselves warm by piling on huge logs
in the open crate, but rs per cent of the
heat went up the flue, and the room was
never warm except in small segment

very poetical, but it had way of MAX

housewife, who gladly welcomed the
stove as the great remedy for many
household ills.

The IntrudinS Turk.

The turkey" of diplomatists and map
makers means, not the land of the Turk.
but those lands-Greek, Bulgarian, Serv-
ian and Albanan--in which their enemy.
the Turk, is still encamped. On no spot
of Europe, on no spot of the coast of Asia,
is the Turk really at home. He is every.
where foreign intruder. burglar whc
has thrust himself into the houses of other
men. While other conquests have in
time changed into lawful possessions,
either by the conquerors assmi!ating
the conquered, or the conquered assimu.
lating the conqucrors, the Turk remains
as much a stranger in Europe as he was
when he first came in, more than 500
years back. And so it must ever be "a
long as the Turk remains Turk for
no MahOmetan ruler can, without cast
ing aside the precepts of his own law, be-
come what a ruler is bound to be toward
the subjects OF other religions. 1t is his
first duty as mahometan to keep men
of all other creeds-the Christian in Eu-
rope, the fire worshipper in Persia, the
Hindoo in India-in bondage to the men
of The dominant faith. He therefore can
not reform; promises of reform made
by the Turk are in their own nature
worthless. They are nowhere carried
out, unless when the Turk is afraid to
break them under the eye of more power

government" is therefore mere diplo-
matte conventionality. There is no
Turkish government. The object of

iects; and that the Turk does not give.

China's Great River.

mountains of Thibet, drains nearly u.s.
600 square miles of country, and flows

The higher reaches OF the river above
Chungking have been seldom seen by
Europeans. The lower reaches are thor
oughly well known, and for 600 miles
up, as far as Hankow, every mile of the
river is almost as familiar to the Euro
peans out there as the Thames is to us at

The making of sleigh bells is quite an
art. The little iron ball is too big TO ho
put in through the holes in the bell. and
yet it is inside. How did it get there
The little iron ball is called "the jinglet.
When you shake the sleigh bell it jingle3.
In making the bell, this jinglet is put
inside little ball of mud, just the shape
of the inside of the bell. Then a mold is
made just the shape Of the outside OF
the bell. This mud with the jingiet in
side is placed in the mold of the outside,
and the metal is poured in, which fills
up the space between the ball and the
mold. When the mold is taken Off you
see sleigh bell, but it will not ring, as
it is full of dirt. The hot metal that the
bell is made of dries the dirt, so il ca,
be shaken out. After the dirt is al!
shaken out Of the holes in the bell, tlo
little iron jinglet will still be in the bell
and will ring. 1t took good many
years to think out how to make a sleigh
bell.
