Eyes With Double Pupils,

A remarkable belief is that which
ascribcs supernatural powers to the
Bitias, Bithims or Bethas, persons said
to have double pupils in each eye.
Apollonides alludes to these people
under the heading, "About the
Bythlm," lie says; "There are Ger.
tain femayls in Scy who are known
as Bythi@, and PhylarCus states that Q
tribe of the Thibii in Pontus, and
meme other people az well, have {
double pupil in the one eye and in tht
other the figure of a horse or some
other animal"
These persons, so say all the ancien
writer's, were possessed Of boil
miraculous and supernatural powers
Even Cicero says that ",he glance o!
all women with the double pupil in tn,
eye is noxious, blighting and wither
ing Cadmus tolls us that such per
sons would not drown; still other
say that if they did drown the body
would never sink, neither would /
decay. They could cure the disease o
the chest (consumption) by rubbing
their perspiration on the affected part
Of the individual, and in case tn
double pupils were red instead O.
black they could cure the lepers AM
the blind. -TSt Louis Republic.

A Stone Carrot.

One of the finest specimens of vege-
table petrifaction ever exhibited In
Helena was recently brought to town
by Hector Cody. This specimen is q
carrot, little more than niue inches in
length, with about an inch of the tip
broken off. The history of the petri-
faction is briefly this. In 1879 Hector
Cody. then lad of ten years, planted
a bed of carrots in his mothers garden
patch near the Baxendale granite quar-
rv, about eight miles from town. The
crop was an excellent one, the yield
being large at tho autumn
harvest. That was fourteen years
ago. Before the recent storm, there
being little if any frost in the
ground, Hector started out to spade
up some of the old garden spot, when
q shovelfu of loosened earth exposed
the stone- hardened vegetable, which
proved upon examination to be as
complete and handsome petritication
as nature ever transformed from vege-
table life. In washing the soil from
it what once formed the skin of the
carrot scaled off, leaving cornalian-
ringed stone as clear as uncut agate,
through which the sunlight shows
every popularity of its growth and
formation. Mr.. Cody has had the
offer of horse for the unique speci-
men. but his mother is unwilling to
part with it. lie has promised to leave
it for a season as an exhibit in the
Herald cabinet, and later TO permit it
to be taken TO the Worlds Fair as one

Terrapin are Epicures Themselves.

Terrapin are Epicures Themselves.
In its natural condition the terrapin
feas,s royalty that it may in turn be
fed upon royalty. 1t is supposed to
feed on daintics, softshell crabs,
oysters, and other tid-bits of an ex-
celent quality. 1t feeds only a few
months of the year. During its feed
ing period it is aggressive, it is vor-
aclous, its mouth is gaping void the
width of the head, the jaws extending
back. 1t takes on a tremendous
amount of fat and on this it feeds dur
ing the period that it lies torpid
buried, in fancy-beneath the mud.
So slowly is this supply of fat drawn
upon that at the end of winter
sleep it is scarcely reduced in amount.
The proof of this is shown through
the long keeping of the terrapin by
vendors. One sold by them in April
will be found, on cooking, to have as
much fat and be of as dainty and
delicate flavor as if the time were
October.
The diamond-backs are growing
less and less in number every year be-
cause they are so relentlessly pursued
by the very people who should pre-
serve them. -[Ncw York times.

81 found it very interesting en-
pIoyment," said Mr.. Terhunc, who is
about thirty years old and hunter
from boyhood. "At first took
things easy. Tho coyotes were so
plenty that | didn't have to bother my
self TO exert much skill. l trapped
them easily, shot them down when
they came around my camp, and alto
gcther did well. Sometimes | got as
many as fifteen scalps in day, and l
have made as much as 5000 in q week.
This was in the dry region in the
western part of Kern County. Then
| had about equal success in the foot
hills of Santa Barbara County.
"Pretty soon, however, the coyotes
began to get scarcer. This was not
till well on toward the close Of the
first year after the bounty law was
passed. BY that time so many hunters
aud trappers were out that it was evl-
dent ii was going to be a question
eventually as to skill.
81 went to Santa Barbara and
bought some of the fattest pork |
could find and a lot of strychnine.
Then | started out in the coyote re-
gons again, cut the pork in small
pieces, in each of which placed a
little strychnine, and fastened them on
brush, and occasionally on sticks
placed in the ground.
"Thcn dragged the old carcass of
Il bear | had killed around where the
meat was. The coyotes got on the
trail of this, scented the pork, ate it, and
were dead before they could get into
their holes. have found eight dead
coyotes on a circuit of this kind not
to exceed a quarter of mile in
length. Little and big continued to
fall in this way, and | cleaned out
some of the best hunting grounds
before the novices knew how to 60
to work. For the past four or five
months the scalp business has dropped
off great deal owing to the fact that
the coyotes had been hunted so much.
81 think, however, the law ought
still to exist, for the moment the
bounty is taken off scalps nobody will
hunt them, and they will increase sc
rapidly as to dcvastate the Sheep

THE DEPTH OF SPACE.


Immense Distances Reached by astrono-
mers in Their Re3cnrcIics.
In 1897 Prof. Bcsscl. of Germany,
commenced q series of astronomical
measures for getting the exact distance
TO the fixed stars, II thing which had
never been done. After three years OF
hard labor he succeeded in obtaining q
parallax, but 50 very minute that he
was hardly willing 10 risk his reputation
upon it. Repeated trials, however, sat
isicd him OF the correctness ot his con.
clusions, and he announced to the world
that tho true distance OF one OF the
stars in the Constellation Cygnus had
been measured. But who can compre-
hen1 this immense distance? We can
only convey an idea TO the mind Of this
distance by the fact that light, which
travels II, 900 900 miles in minute, re-
quires not less than ten years to reach
us from this star. Just let any one try
to grasp this tremendous distance. One
hour would give 720, 100000 miles; in
one year then, 8,7cO hours, light would
travel 6,3t7, 200, 600, I 90, and this multi
piled by 10 gives G3,072, CO.,, N,0OO,O 900.
This. according to Prof Besse, is the
d stance to the nearest fixed stars, and
these calcula ions were confirmed by
all other astronomers. Tut this dis
tance, prodig,ous as it may appear, is
not to be compared to the Milky Way.
Sir William Herschel says that the stars
or suns that compose the Milky Way
are so remote that it requires light
10000 years to reach the earth, and he
also saws that there are stars, or rather

President Washington went to the

gilt panneis on which were carved
Cupids, flowers and fruits. This
gorgeous vehicle was drawn by six

A song sing to all that's old
Old, tried and true! All, would fatn
The bitter with the sweetest hold,
Could all old hands clasp mine again.
The face of Change meet with fear;
Though good the New, the Old is dear.
A song sing to olden cheer;
For frosts of autumn gild the leaf;
They crown the seasons; test the year;
They mist the grape and bind the sheaf;
Their tender touch is longest lent
To earth and air and armament.
A song sing to olden ways!-
Old scenes, old homes, old ingle-nooks;
Old faiths of blessed olden days;
Old myths, oil rhymes, and dear old books
And if with faults old friends; and calm
Loves flowing like some stately psalm,

Move slow the pendulum of Change!

Its longest reach in youthward range;
For sweet as is the new hours cheer,
The Golden hours are dear, more dear,

Landscapc-Gardeming as a Fine

The most remarkable point about the
Chicago Fair is its beauty as a whole.
Its great artistic success has been
achieved because, at the very outset,
before any of its buildings was planned,
Mr.. Frederick Law Olmsted was
commissioned TO lay out the site, and
determine their positions and the
character of the means of access to
them.
The fact, we think, is now fully
understood, not only by artists, but
by a large part of the public. 1t CAN
not fail to be recognized by every in
tclligent person who visits Chicago
this summer; and it will undoubtedly
do more than anything else has ever
done, or than any achievement of
another kind possibly could do, to
make the Americans understand that
the art which, for want of a more
broadly inclusive term, we call the art
of gardening (or landscape gardening,
although this word Is quite as inade-
quate) deserves to rank with archi-
lecture, painting, and sculpture as Il
genuine fine art-as an art of design
in very noble sense. The Fair will
do this; it will show how important
the assistance Of the artist in garden
ing may be to the architect, and also
that his help should bc secured before
the architect goes to work, and not, as
is our common practice when we en-
ploy him to do all, to "touch up"
architectural results after they are
finished. 1.-THE Century.

Training a Cadet.

Congressman Tim Campbell, of New

Point cadet. 1t has been source of no
end of annoyance to him, as there are

''When Phil Sheridan was Is years old
the Congressman of his district, in
Perry County, Ohio, the place Of Phil's
birth, had an elephant on his hands in
the shape of West Point cadetship to
give away. The Democratic chairmen
of five counties each had applicants to
urge, and to each the Congressman was
under equal obligations. But to recog-
nize one was to offend the other four.

along the country road near Somerset,
revolving the problem in his mind,
