A Terrible Looking Pin.

A well known gentleman Of Seattle the
other day handed to a reporter curious
looking scarfpin, the head of it being of
the size of small marble, such as is
used by boys. In color it was peculiar
reddish amber, and seemed to contain a
strange Efelike heart, from which drop
of blood appeared ready to fall.
"a heart of fire bedreamed with haze.
"What is it?" asked the reporter.
"It is an eye taken from a mummy,
was the reply.
'Where was 1t taken from? was asked.
II was at africa, Peru, in 1882, and
took it froma a mummy myself" was the
reply. "A number of young men and
myself one day were out for sport and
dug up dozen mummies for the sake
of seeing what they had been buried with.
We found money, pieces of pottery, etc.,
but did not strike gold mine. Nearly
all the better class of mummies seemed
to have these eyes in them, and l took
this from one of them. could not
learn what it was. Some people in Peru
contend that it is the natural eye pre-
served and hardened in some manner,
while others think it fsh's eye. They
do not bother their heads much about it
down there, however. The fact that
these eyes are found in mummies IS suffi-
cient for them. l have never heard OF
any tradition connected with them.
81 took the eye to jewelry store in
San Francisco and tried to get it pol
ished, but could not. although half a
dozen men worked on it. The powder
arising from it while they were at work
would make them deathly sick and also
get in their eyes and blind them tenn
porarily. You see that it has scaled of
in places. finally had it set in this pin
as you see t."-Seattle Press-Times.

Pho.ographing In Colors.

Color photography has attracted much
attention during the past year or Is
months, and the experiments in that line
have been startlingly successful. Pro-
fessors Lippmann and Vogel are the pio-
neers in this branch of the Photographic
art, and both are enthusiastic over re-
cent results. Lippmann's Investigations
have proven that on layer of albumen
he could take brilliant photographs of
the spectra, nor was it necessary to
bring out the colors one at a time by a
laborious application of specially pre-
pared chemicals. On the contrary, they
all came out at once, even red, and that,
too, without the interposition of colored
screens. In letter to society of pho
tographers Lippmann says: Announce
the most wonderful discovery of the age.
1 have brought out colors more brilliant
than the tints of the rainbow after an ex-
posure of less than 80 seconds. Alas! /
grieve to tell you that there are certain
colors in the rainbow that have not
succeeded in claiming to my plate. st.

GRAINS OF GOLD.


You don't have to be disagreeable to
be good.
Sarcasm, in general, is the language
Of the devil.
A self-made man never tires of brag-
ging on his job.
In order to discover truth, we must be
truthful ourselves.
There is too much talk, too much work,
too little thought.
Be not anxious about tomorrow. Do
to days duty only.
Every man must learn self restraint
or go ashore a wreck.
II there is good in us it will be sure
to inspire good in others.
A man who worships golden calf is
burning incense to himself.
A wise man thinks all that he says; a
fool says all that he thinks.
The strongest man in the world is the
one who can control himself.
No good action, no good example dies
it lives forever in our race.
Chance opportunities make US known
to others, still more to ourselves.
To be content with what we possess is
the greatest and most secure riches.
Leisure is very pleasant garment
but is a very bad one for constant wear.
1t is better to do the idlest thing in the
world than TO sit idle for half an hour.
God is Just and merciful, and will re-
ward every man according to his works.
We must get honesty, directness, and
lofty purpose wrought into the fbers OF
our being.
God has made many sunny spots in the
heart; why should we exclude the light
from them?
Those who have homes should special
Iy seek to keep them free from every
thing that is false.
Say nothing, do nothing, which good
mother would not approve, and you are
on the certain road to happiness.
If the cat had wings.no birds would be
left in the air. If every one had what he
is wishing, who would have anything?

The Woman and the Rose.

A traveller stopped at little cabin in
the Georgia woods. He wore white
rose on his coat-one that little girl
had plucked and pinned there as he was
leaving home.
A woman entered the cabin. She stood
and gazed at the rose moment. Then,
darting forward, she tore it from the
strangers coat and stamped it on the
rude floor.
why did you do that?" asked the
stranger leaping to his feet.
''Hush!'' said man who was sitting
near. "That's my wife, an-an-she
amt right here"-tapping his forehead.
1--WE had little girl once, with blue
eyes an hair like a sunset. She wan
dered off among the roses one day-lost,
lost!-an when we found her she was
where the roses grow, an they was creep
III over her. An the wife there went
mad, an now she says the roses stole the
child an hid her away from US forever,
an she goes about an tramples them
Just like she did the rose there on the
floorr'-New York Recorder.

Entertaining the Butcher.

Little Mary is the daughter of Pres
byterian clergyman in pretty village
of western New York. One morning a
corpulent butcher called at the parsonage
with roast of beef for dinner Mary
answered his knock at the kitchen door
and proceeded to entertain him until her
mother should arrive. The pastors wife
on her way down stairs overheard this
conversation:
''This is a very lovely day, Mr.. Mea-
son."
"It is indeed"
''Do you like roast beef?
"Yes."
"Do you eat it every day."
''Not every day. Why?"
Nothing. only your stomach seems to
be larger than ours" New York Times.

Satisfying Vanity.

"It's lovely to have a small bit of van
ity," said little woman, tying her bon
net strings before the glass.
THAT'S very unorthodox sentiment,

'Do you think so? l am not so sure

ginning to put on her gloves. 81 should

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS poorstep.

In the Egyptian and Assyrian gallery
of the British museum and in close con-
tinguity to the Hittite monuments and
the bronze gates of Shalmanezar may be
seen an object of more than ordinary in
terest-a very common looking bronze
doorstep from the great temple of Flag
gil at Borsippa, suburb of Babylon.
This doorstep, ordinary as it appears, is
of great historical value, as it not only
has the name of King Nebuchadnezzar
inscribed upon it, but also mentions his
restoration to health and power. 1t is
no doubt native offering and an OBJ
ject of great NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Effect of the Earth,s Motion on Big Shot

Effect OF the Earth's motlon on Dig SHot'
That the earth's motion has an appre-
ciable effect upon artillery fire. defect
ing the projectile from straight course,
may be news to many and as such would
probably seem novel notion. 1t has,
and the exact nature and extent OF the
effect is an important point of study
with artillery experts. An English army
expert told of the results of many inter-
esting experiments along this line in a
paper read before the Royal Artillery
institution. Firing from north to south
there is divergence of projectiles to the
left, due to the earth's rotation. and fir
ing due north the divergence is to the
right. The extent of the pull varies
at different points of the earth's surface
and with projectiles fired at different
speeds and elevations. In England de-
fiection of five inches is found to occur
with the projectile of IL FOUNDER in a
900 yard Wv" York Sun.

THE TWO SHOWS.
One a Humanitarian the Other
the RankeSt Kind of q
Humbug.

Some papers get State Printer Snow
and Chancellor Snow of the state uni
versity mixed up.-Enterprise Journal.
While tangled up wouldn't it be the
proper thing for the chancellor to give
the state printer dose of his sick chinch
bugs?-Council Grove Republican.
It is mistake. Chancellor Snow never
gets tangled up in anything. Chancellor
Snow, now as for twenty years, is
attending strictly to the business of
building up Kansas. Printer Snow is
working equally hard to tear down Kan
sas and build up-himself. It is enough
to awake the awful wrath of just God
to think that Kansas is making Printer
Snow rich at the rate of ten or twenty
thousand dollars year, while the other
Snow has only averaged eighteen hum
dred or two thousand dollars year for
a quarter of century of the noblest
work a man ever did for his fellows.
But then Snow, the printer, is a Populist
and therefore is justified in working"
the state for big, fat competence!
