OLD SWISS SUGGESTIONS.

For Many Centuries the Mountain Near
Lucerne Was Haunted by a Wrath.
The body of the Roman governor, af-
ter he had committed suicide at Rome
in disgrace, was thrown first of all into
the Tiber, but was afterward removed
thence on account of the storm which
ragged round that river. 1t was next
sent to Gaul, where, at Vienna, it was
consigned to the Rhone, says Good
Words. Later on, having been once
more transported time to the lake
of Geneva-it was finally deposited in
the little tarn on the side of the we'll
known mountain near Lucerne, which
to this hour bears his ill-omened name.
Even here the perturbed spirit broke
loose, dealing havoc and destruction to
the neig hborhood, and, to total up this
long roll of superstition, the wrath
was one day encountered by traveller,
and an engagement was then and there
entered into between them that the
former was to give itself rest forever,
with the stipulation that it might break
loose from it's prison house on one day
in each year-Good Friday-when the
spirit, clothed in the red robe of Office,
henceforward sat annually on a rock
above the lake, and whoever saw it
died before the year had run out. The
Lucerne magistracy prohibited all APP
proach to the tarn, and in 1887 several
adventures were put into Jail for dis
obedience of this order. Later, in 1918,
permission was granted to four men of
science to approach this accursed piece
of water, and they then took the OPP
portunity of ascending the mountain.
In 1855 Konrad Gesner was allowed to
climb Pilatus with his friends, and
from that year the grim spell which had
for SO long boundc the mountains was
relaxed, and the Alps began to be &C
counted gradually, as years rolled on.
as that playground of Europe into
! which they have now so thoroughly de-
veloped, instead of being looked upon
as the harbingers of evil and the strong
| holds of demons and wraiths.

The methods of reasoning pursued by
some children may be simple enough,
but the results are often disastrous,
says the Epworth Herald. A book of
"reminiscences by the teacher of the in
FAINT class would undoubtedly prove
salable.
A certain young lady, religiously in
clined, applied for a class in Sunday
school few weeks ago and the superin-
tendent promptly placed her in charge
of that doubtful honor-the infant
class. The new teacher went on pretty
well until she ventured on the thin ice
known as general questioning"
Nov, children" she said, with that
extremely vivacious manner which is
popularity supposed to fascinate chill
dren, ''what did Moses do?''
The infant mind worked on the prob
lem for a few moments in silence.
Come, dears," said the young teach
er, encouragingly. ''some one tell me
what Moses did"
very small boy on the fdgety back
row seemed to be struggling with a
reply.
What is it, Willie?'' urged the teach
er, encouragingly.
Ibis thumb weighed pound"
"What!" asked the astonished teacher.
"My mariner says so.'
Says what, Willie" demanded the
perplexed teacher, while the class
stopped fdgeting and listened intently.
'She says every time Moses puts hith
thumb on the scales it weighs a pound. "

Only One of It's Kind.

The only sea-going steam vessel that
has propellers in the center of the boat
instead of in the stern is named LIE
Louvre, and it plies between Nazaire
and Paris, thus taking in its course
sea, river and canal 1t is a small YES
sci. The two screws are in two tun-
nels in the center in front of the en-
CINE. The tips of the blades do not pro-
ject below the keel. One advantage
claimed for the invention is that the
screws can be examined easily in case
of accident, as it is only necessary
to introduce compressed air into the
tunnels and force out the water. It is
reported in France that larger ocean
vessels are to be built with this ar
rangement of the propelling power.
This system of propulsion is a modifica-
ton of that of Thornycroft which has
been employed for years on the tor
pedo boats of the Brazilian government
and the police boats on the Nile

BOUGHT THE GIRL HE LOVED.
Strange story of Purchased Immunity
from Malta Vengeance.

Strange story of Purchased Immunity
from Malta Vengeance.
'sI'1l tell you story as strange as it
is true, if you will not use my NAME"
said guest of a ST. Louis hotel, as he
led a Globe Democrat reporter into his
apartments and carefully closed the
door. ''Some years ago l lived in
southern city-it does not matter what
one. It was my good fortune to render
valuable assistance to a beautiful
Italian girl who had, for satisfactory
reasons, run away from her home in
New Orleans. She repaid my kindness
by falling in love with me after the APP
proved manner of heroines. Her rel
atives warned me that if did not send
her back home / was liable to find my
self in a sally disfgured state some
stormy night, and on this gentle hint
acted. Sometime afterward her mother
wrote me that the girl had destroyed
herself, and added the cheerful news
that her brothers blamed me for her
rash deed and would see me later. I
suspected that she had sought refuge
in suicides grave from the Infamous
treatment of her relatives rather than
from the pangs of pining love, but the
tragedy moved me strangely and
nearly dethroned my reason. While
she was with me two attempts
were made upon my life for no
other crime than saving young
girl from the paths of infamy.
Two of these interesting would-be as
sassins were rounded up by the mob
that stormed the parish prison, and
breathed easier, but not for long.
When the malta marks man it never
takes his name off the list. Sooner or
later it gets him, sure. He goes none
know where, or dies none know how.
The only thing he can do is to comfort
himself as best he may with Hamlet's
philosophy and keep watch and ward.
It is seldom that the malta does it's
deadly work so badly as in poor Hen
nessy's case. 1t traps it's victim or slips
knife into his back in some lonely by
way. But the strangest part of my
story is yet to come. A month ago who
should walk in upon me but the girl
had for eighteen weary months
mourned as dead. She had recovered
from the self-infiicted wound, but had
been kept close prisoner in her moth
er's house. She finally made her es-
cape, and, penniless and friendless,
started on her journey of seven hun
dred miles to crave my protection. She
had begged her way, walked and stolen
rides on freights, slept in the woods
with no covering but the sky, no SEN
tine1 but the stars. She reached me
footsore, bedraggled, weary, but happy
as the empress of the world. What
did I do with her? 1 took her back to
New Orleans, called her relatives about
me and bought her and my own inn
munity for an AMI of two hundred
dollars year. L have laced the girl
at school, and if she docsl't make her
mark as musician 1 miss M guess

Two Murders.

Tuesday Milt Thomas, who is wit
ness for the state against the men
charged with robbing the Stafford
county treasury, shot and killed man
named Weber, who was one of the
men charged with the robbery. They
were in the back room of DIR. Winners
drug store, and Glasscock, another of
the men charged with the robbery, was
the only witness. Thomas fired a
number of shots at Webber, and says
Webber drew his gun first and snapped
it at Thomas. He gave himself up to
the sheriff, claiming that he did the
shooting in self defense.
AT Larned, on Saturday night, Major
Poole, of the city schools, was shot by
one of his former pupils, over some
difficulty they had had. The injured
man is reported to be beyond recovery

JAPS WANT TO BE TALLER.

With This End In View They VIII Take
to Eating Meat.
It is somewhat curious circumstance,
says London journal, that at the very
time when we are told that the char
acteristic Japanese flower, the chrys-
anthemum, is about to be introduced to
public favor, both in hot and cold
state of preparation, the Japanese have
come to the conclusion that vegetable
diet, especially that in which rice is
dominant, is a menu which should
more properly be discouraged than adj
vocated for the food of the japanese
people. Sir Francis de Winton, adj
dressing the Manchester Geographical
society, has stated that instead of the
vegetarian food to which the japanese
had hitherto largely accustomed them
selves, it had been decided by the gov
eminent to encourage a meat diet, it be-
ing thought that by the adoption of
such policy the stature Of the race
would increase and their physique be
consequently improved. Sir Francis
furthermore pointed out that if the
denizens of the land of the chrysan-
themum could only be persuaded to eat
more meat the brightest prospects
might be offered to the cattle ranchers
of western Canada and especially of
British Columbia, who would find in
Japan new and remunerative market
for their cattle. It should not, how
ever, be ignored that European travel
ers in Japan have pointed out that the
native cuisine, although perhaps it
slightly errs in adherence to system
of cookery mainly consisting of odds
and ends of various kinds of food, is
quite capable of supplying not only
palatable, but elegant meals. Others
have not taken quite SO roseate a view
of japanese culinary economy, but
have animadverted on the fact that not
only do these remote Asiatics eat too
much rice, but that they consume too
much fish.

POISON FOR APACHE ARROWS.
RattIesnake Heads and Red Ants Cooked
Into jelly Annually.

RattIesnake Heads and Red Ants Cooked
Into Jelly Annually.
Although the Apaches have had lit
tie or no use for their poisoned weap-
ons for years, still they, because of
tribal instinct, each summer season go
through an annual preparation of their
arrow tips as carefully and methodical-
ly as if an old-t1me war were near at
hand. This work on the arrows, as de-
scribed by the Pomona Progress, is one
piece of labor that the Indian brave
will not leave to the squaws. He gath
ers dozen or more rattlesnake heads
and puts them in a spherical earthen
vessel. With these he puts half pint
of species of large red ant that is
found in many parts of Arizona. The
bite of this ant is more poisonous than
that of bee. Upon these he pours
bit Of water and then seals up with
moist earth the lid of this vessel. He
then digs a hole two feet deep into the
ground, in which he builds roar
ing fire and puts in some stones.
When the interior of the hole and the
stones are red-hot he makes place in
the bottom for the earthen vessel and
puts it in. About 1t and upon it he puts
the Goals and hot stones, and upon the
top he builds fierce fire and keeps it
up for twenty-four hours. Then he digs
out his vessel, and, standing off with
long pole, he disengages the top and lets
the fumes escape. The Indian insists
that if the fumes should come in his
face they would kill him. The mass
left at the bottom of the vessel is
dark brown paste. To test the efficacy
of his connection a recent traveller saw
an Indian with his hunting knife make
a cut in his bare leg just below the
knee and let the blood run down to his
ankle. Then taking stick he dipped
it into the poison aud touched the de-
scending blood at the ankle. 1t imme-
diately began to sizzle, as if it were
cooking the blood, and the poison fol-
lowed the blood right up the leg, siz-
cling it's way until the Indian scraped
the blood off with the knife. The saw
age assured the pale face that had he
allowed the poison to reach the mouth
of the wound he would have been
dead man in twenty minutes.

THE GRAND OLD WOMAN.

A Name tn Which Mrs. Gladstone Is En-
titled.
Sir Andrew Clark has often been
heard to say that Mrs. Gladstone is
quite as much entitled to the name of
the Grand Old Woman as her evergreen
husband is to that of the Grand Old
Man. On January IL last, says the
London Telegraph, Mrs. Gladstone S
eightieth birthday came round and she
passed the morning in writing letters to
her friends in England, task which
she accomplished without wearing
glasses of any kind as aids to her sight
In fact, she has never yet known what
it is to need spectacles, and yet her eyes
are as bright as those of a young
woman. Every morning passed by Mr..
and Mrs. Gladstone at Hawarden sees
them both at church, nearly three
fourths of mile from the castle.
Close to the church is the corrugated
iron building in which Mr.. Gladstone
has already deposited about twenty
thousand volumes, the overflow OF his
own private library at the castle. every
volume of which he has placed with his
own hand on the shelves of the new
library, which he has given to the par
ish of Hawarden- Be the weather what
it may, the prime minister invariably
walks to church and back, taking par
ticular pleasure in this matutinal exer-
else when snow is falling heavily. Mrs.
Gladstone goes thither and back in her
little pony carriage, which she drives
herself. It is said that Mr.. Gladstone
does not know what it is to have head
ache or to suffer from cold feet

HIS CHOSEN HOME.
A Lovelorn Man Who Eas Lived In j;
Twenty-Three Years.

Love1orn Man Who Ezas Lived In Jail
Twenty-Three Years.
William Rothwen has been in the
Dedham, Mass, Jail twenty-three years.
Rothwe1 is sixty-eight years old, and
for the many years he has been in Jail
he has made and men1ed the clothing
of hundreds of prisoners. Rothwen
came from wealthy family in Eng
land, and was well educated. When
first known in Dedham he was arrested
by Officer George e. Morse for drunken
ness While serving sentence at the
jail he showed aptness as tailor, al
though never before having had expert
ence at the trade. After serving his
sentence he was given some money by
the sheriff or official in charge of the
Jail and he left town. He remained
away but few days, however. Upon
his return he went to Officer Morse and
requested that charge be made against
him either of drunkenness or vagrancy.
A charge was made, he pleaded guilty
and he was returned to jail, and the
Boston Herald says Rothwe1 has con-
tinued this course for the past twenty
three years.
Although age bears its mark, his
countenance shows refinement. He has

any visitors in the guard-room of the
Jail seated upon his bench plying his
needle through the garments worn by
the prisoners. He has a brother, a
wealthy merchant in New York city,
who recently visited him. He has been
! repeatedly entreated by his relatives,
not only in New York, but in Ian
cashire, England, to leave his prison
home and live with them, but he says:
81 am contepted in the home that
chose twenty-three years ago and l
shall not leave it so long as I can re-
main there, either by hospitality or
legal sentences by the courts"
Rothwell's life has a romance. When
a young man at college he fell in love
with wealthy young English lady.
She accepted his attention as sutton.
Money he had in plenty, and being
young, spirited, and kind of heart, had
many boon companions. He began to
drink, and the young woman discarded
him. He then left his native land and
went to Australia. For several years
none of his relatives knew where he
was, until twenty-three years ago
he sent a letter to his mother in Eng
land, telling her where he was. He has
the freedom of the jail at Dedham, and
the guard-room would be lonesome to
the officers without his presence.

oeELisK MOVERS OF OLD.
Means by Which the Egyptians Tr8ns-
ported Great Stones.

ported Great stones.
The obelisks of the Pharaohs are made
of red granite called syenlte, says the
writer of ''Cleopatra's Needle" In the
quarries at Syene may yet be seen an
unfinished obelisk, still adhering to the
native rock, with traces of workmen's
tools so clearly seen on its surface that
one might suppose they had been sud-
denly called away and intended soon
to return and finish their work.
This unfinished obelisk shows the
mode in which the ancients separated
these immense monoliths from the native
rock. In a sharply cut groove marking
the boundary of the stone are holes evil
IDENTIFY designed for wooden wedges,
says the Chicago Herald.
G After these had been firmly driven
into the holes the groove was filed
with water. The wedges, gradually alb
sorbing the water, swelled and cracked
the granite throughout the length of
the groove. The block, once detached
from the rock, was pushed forward
upon rollers made of the stems of palm
trees from the quarries to the edge OF
the Nile, where it was surrounded by
large timber raft. 1t lay by the river
side until the first inundation Of the
Nile, when the rising water f1oated the
raft and conveyed the obelisk down the
stream to the city where it was to be
set up.
Thousands of willing hands pushed it
on rollers up an inclined plane to the
front of the temple where it was de-
signed to stand. The pedestal had
previously been placed in position, and
firm causeway of sand covered with
planks led to the top of it. Then, by
means of rollers, levers and ropes made
of the date palm, the obelisk was grad
ually hoisted into an upright position.
It speaks much for the mechanical
accuracy of the Egyptian masons that,
so true was the level of the top of the
base and the bottom of the long shaft,
in no single instance has the obelisk
been found to be out of the true per-
pendicular.
