Trades That Are Handed Down from Fa-

1t is quite possible that the Japan
csc teacher of dancing and department
who, few weeks ago, celebrated the
one thousandth anniversary of the es-
tablishment of his business by re-
mote ancestor, may have done so upon
authentic grounds. Still, Japanese do
nestle chronology is apt to become a
little foggy when you get back few
hundred years.
Possibly more authentic are the two
cases which follow. The first is that
of the family of Aaron, who practiced
the duties Of the priesthood continu-
ouslv from B. c. 1890 to Il. C. 58S, or for
7S2 years,
The second is that of the family of
Purkiss, whose ancestor found the
body of William Rufus in the New
Forest in the year 100, and who car
ried on the occupation of charcoal
burning generation after generation,
until the last of the family died, in
1916.
This makes seven hundred and forty
six years-that is to say, the Purkiss
family burnt charcoal for fourteen

Thu Rareat Plants.

The question which are the rarest
plants on earth admits of two answers
as to rarity of distribution and rarity
in the numerical sense. There are
some plants which grow in one small
spot and nowhere else. Such are the
Kerguelan cabbage, which is found
only on Kerguelan island, a remote
island in forty-fve degrees south alti-
tude and sixty-five degrees east longi.
tude in the South Pacific, the species
of hareben which grows only on
Mount Parnassus. and yam which is
found only on the Pyrenees. The
palm of numerical rarity is divided
among two hybrid orchids artificially
produced crosses laelia bella and lac
liza sedina, of each of which only one
specimen exists, unique flower
called odontoglossum vecillarium, ex-
hibited at the last exhibition of the
horticultural society in Temple Gar
dens. and a tiny japanese plant, over.
weighted with the pretentious name
schizocodon soldanellioides, which
was brought from Japan about two
years ago by Capt. Torrens. So far as
is known it is the only one in exist
ence.

Falcons a Letter Carriers.

Falcons may be used as letter car
riers in place of homing pigeons. M.
Smokoff, lieutenant in the Russian
army, has contributed to the Revue des
Sciences, the result of some expert
ments in training falcons to carry dis
patches. Compared with pigeons, fall
cons are in more than one respect SUI
perior as carriers. Apigeon travels from
eight to ten leagues in an hour, while
a falcon, it appears, can cover fifteen
leagues in an hour, and keeps up this
rate of speed for fifteen hours at q
time. The falcon can also, of course,
be intrusted with heavier budget.
He is less easily affected by atmos-
pheric changes, encounters fewer dan
gers on the way and can rarely become
the victim of an enemy stronger than
himself.

An Immense Bridge to Span the Merse
ut LIVERPOOL.

An Immense Bridge to Span the Mersey
ut Liverpool.
1t is proposed to build an immense
bridge over the Mersey to connect Liv-
erpool with Birkenhead, and the de-
signs of the, structure are already in
existence. According to descriptions
in the Liverpool newspapers, the
bridge will be of the arched suspen-
sion type, in three spans, the roadway
being suspended from an arch instead
of the usual chain. Each span will
have clear waterway of LOO feet,
the center span having clear head
way of $50 feet above high water of or
binary spring tides. Possibly it may be
considered advisab bic to have one large
central span of 1,s00 or 1000 feet with
two smaller side spans, SO as to give
more room for maneuvering a large
ship not under absolute control. The
plans allow for clear roadway forty
feet in width, sufficient for at least
four lines of wheel traffic, and two
outer footways, each z feet 6 inches
wide. The promoters further claim
that an overhead electric tramway can
be constructed along the center of the
road, supported on center columns in
a somewhat similar manner to the
New York elevated railway The to-
tai estimated cost of the bridge and
it's approaches, including a sufficient
sum for the purchase of property and
compensation to owners, but exclusive
of additional approaches and the over
head tramway, is 81, 7so, 900. tits stated
that at present there is paid for the
conveyance of goods and passengers
across the river by lighters. ferry
steamers and the tunnel, e195.00O a
year, of which e1O5,o00 is paid for
goods traffic alone. The promoters
estimate that the income of the bridge
would be not less than e165, 900 year

He Was Cross and Abusive When In His
Cups, but He Meant Well.
Big jackson is dead, and as a result
the heart of King McManus is bowed
down beneath the weight of unutter-
able woe. jackson was only q big,
shaggy, black bear, but he was q hale
fellow in his way, and there was not a
man in all the Potrero who could cope
with him when it came to drinking
whisky, says the San Francisco Elk
aminer He could drink from morning
till night, go rolling to his bed in the
corner of the yard, and get up in the
morning fresh as ever. From his you'll
he was rollicking blade, with a good
dash of the Bohemian in his makeup.
and early in life he started to travel
the pace that kills. His friends had
foreseen for long time that there
could be but one end to it all, and
when jackson succumbed to the grim
destroyer they shook their heads know
ingly and said w-'Sh one accord: II
told you So"
Sunstrol1e was the immediate cause
of his death, but alcoholism reared its
hideous head behind it all. Dissipa-
ton had Slapped the strength of a once
robust constitution, and the other day
came the end. AS usual, jackson was
in his cups. During the. forenoon he
poured whisky into his stomach in lib
eral quantities, and the consequence
was that by the noon hour he was very
drunk. Then he became ugly and
boisterous, as was his wont when
drinking, and he was thrust out in
the small back yard to sleep off the eff
fects of his rotations. The day was
hot and Jackson's blood was afire
from whisky. He lay in the sun for
some time in drunken stupor, and
when evening came he was dead, Sun
stroke, the doctor said, and his life
must have gone out hours before they
found him.
When it was found that jackson was
dead, King McManus was sent for. He
had been the latter's favorite for years,
and it was deemed fitting that the
monarch of Potrero should be given
the opportunity to show thelast honors
to his pet.
''Give him the best send-off you can,
boys,'' was the kings admonition, land
don't spare any expense. jackson was
a Thoroughbred, and nothing is too
good for him. Send the bill to me-
And so McManus' followers gathered
in to attend the rites. There was a
wake such as only the Potrero order
knows, and when it was all over the
body of Jackson was laid to rest in a
grave dug for him on the top of Irish
hill, overlooking the scene of many a
jolly carousal. Nor was there any lack
of mourners. jackson had made a host
of friends in his dissipated career, and
they stood about his graveside to do
him such honor as they could.
"We planted him just like human
being" said one sympathizer. "And
why shouldn't we? He wasn't the best
bear in the world, for he drank like a
fish and was often cross and abusive,
but he meant we'll, and never played it
low on friend in need.''

circumstance fine of 800 was imposed.
Director General George R. Davis was
held less directly responsible and was
fined $3.50, with the same provision re-

A. KENTUCKY SNAKE STORY.

Remarkable Scene Witnessed by Ken
lucky Judge While Ont Walking.
Judge j. B. Bowman, who lives
near Tallsborough, gave 'Vanceburg
(Ky.) correspondent of the New York
World an account of a wonderful
snake fight that he recently witnessed.
He was going through a strip of wood
land on the way to his wheat field
when his attention was attracted by a
peculiar noise near his pathway. Look
ing in the direction whence the
sound proceeded he observed black
snake and rattlesnake twined to-
gether in deadly combat. The black
snake was wound about it's venomous
enemy, endeavoring to squeeze the life
out of him. The Judge became an
eager spectator of the novel combat.
Ever and anon the rattlesnake would
bite the blacksnake. Then a remarka-
BILE thing would occur.
The blacksnake as soon as bitten
would uncoil himself, dart for small
bush, and bite off one of the leaves.
He would moisten it in his mouth,
press out the juice, apply it to the bit
ten place, and then return to his en-
envy again. This was repeated sew
eral times, until finally the black
snake squeezed the life out of the rat
tier:
Judge Bowman says he never kills
blacksnakes. He says it is their mis-
sion and one they greatly enjoy to de-
stroy all the venemous snakes they
can find. The judge has a pet black
snake that stays in his barn and keeps
away all the rats and mice.
