Tennessee Onyx Caves.

"What I believe to be the largest and
finest onyx deposits in She world" said
Philo B. Shepard, "lnave recently been
discovered in some Caves in the Cumber-
land Mountains of West Tennessee. 1t
has been known for some time that there
was fine quality of onyx or chalcedony
there, but th9 mines or caves have
scarcely beer, touched, and recently my
attention was brought to the existence
OF large caves in Anderson County, the
roofs OF, which are bristling with stalac-
columns reach to the floor of the cavern.
L found one column fourteen feet in
length, the top of which is more than
fouif feet in diameter, and, I believe, an
onyx slab four feet wide by six long
could be sawed from it. The onyx in
these caves is wonderfully free from
sand pockets and other blemishes, and
is more richly colored than any I ever
saw, and seems to exist in unlimited
quantity. Onyx, as you may know, is
formed by the drippings of limestone,
and in early stages looks like prisms of
glass or frosted jcicles hanging from the
roof, and countless ages must elapse
before even the smallest cone of onyx
could form, while the large column I
have described must have been growing
since the beginning of time. When the
value of these stones becomes known to
the world then Tennessee onyx will be
more widely known than italian marble,
but as yet only few samples have been
taken out. list. Louis Globe Demo-

Sounds We May Not Hear.

Animals may here sounds that are in
audible to us. Certainly the sounds
that give the keenest pleasure to many
animals cats, for example-are seldom
capable of giving pleasure to us. We
know, of course, that sounds may be
too low or too high-that is, the vibra-
tons may be too slow or too rapid-to
be audible to the human ear; but it does
not follow that they are equally inaudi-
bic to differently tuned ears
The limits of audible sound are not
invariable even in the human ear; women
can usually hear higher sounds than
men, and the two ears are not, as rule,
equally keen. A sound may be quite
inaudiblc to one person and plainly
heard by another Professor Lloyd
Morgan mentions as an instance of this
case in which the piping of some frogs
in Africa was so loud to him as almost
to drown his friends voice, but of which
his friend heard absolutely nothing !
The same thing may be observed by any
one possessing the little instrument
known as Cations whistle. The sound
made by this whistle can be made more
and more shrill, until at last it ceases to
be heard at all by most persons. Some
can still hear it; but by raising the sound
still higher even they cease to hear.
The sound is still being made-that is,
the whistle is causing the air still to
vibrate, but so rapidly that our ears no
longer recognize it, though the exist
ence of these inaudible vibrations is de.
tected by sensitive fame" as was
first shown by Professor Barrett in 1877.

They Wear Wells,

The oldest things to be seen il
the streets of Colorado Springs are
horses decked with wells. We have
grown accustomed to the jaunty little
hats worn by many horses in oul
towns to protect them from the heat
OF the sun. We can even see an UNI
brella fastened over their heads with
out surprise, but veil gives to the
noble beast a dandyish look that is
very droll. Some Of these wells, be-
longing to fine saddles, are mere
fTinges Of fine strips of leather that
hang before the eyes; others are pieces
Of mosquito netting drawn tightly
hack and fastened like lady's nose
veil: but the most stylish and alto
gether effective are of netting drawn
over hoop which holds it away from
the eyes, yet completely protects
them. These exaggerated goggles
give the gravest horse waggish look.
The wells are not worn for fashions
sake. They are indeed stern neces-
sity, and the comfort, If not even the
life of the horse, demands 1t. Colo
RADIO, with all its great attractions,
has one plague-the plague of flies.
Flies of all sizes, from the least up
to the enormous bluebottle are every
where. Most parts of his body the
horse can himself protect if not de-
nrived of his tail, but his eyes he
cannot, and these delicate organs are
special objects of attack by the fly
tribe. 1t is the least man can do to
provide protecting veil for his most
faithful servant.

WHERE CANARY BIRDS CONE From

When the North German Lloyd steamer
Hermann unloadcd at New YQtN a few
days ago, twenty large bundlese hrouded
in white cloth were carefully lifted from
the hold and placed on the dock From
each bundle came a chorus Of angry
twitterings and chirpings and much flut-
tering of wings. Each bundle contained
252 little wooden bird cages, each with
canary bird in it. Immediately every
one of the !, $40 birds stretched its little
yellow-throat in an effort to outsing his
nelghboF. They carroled and trilled as
merrl!fy as if they were looking out on
greer heath and blue sky.
Tie canaries are of three grades, the
SO so birds the S. birds, and the $40 birds.
The ordinary birds are worth $250 A
large, fine bird, or one Of particularly
handsome coloring, brings twice that
price, while distinguished vocalist will
bring $40. All the birds are males and
singers They come from Germany, where
they are bred in large numbers. i Farm,

TWO TINY ROMAN MUSICIANS.

There are now in London, giving musi-
cal recitals and exhibitions of their skill,
two little Italian girls named Rosina and
Beatrice Cerasoli. They are aged thirteen
and eleven respectively. Rosina, who is
the eldest, is considered as fine pianist
as any one in London, and Beatrice (who
pronounces her name as if it were spelled
Bee a-tree chee') is inferior to her sister
only because her hands are SO small that
she can not yet do as difficult pieces as
she would if her hands were little
bigger.
When Rosina was only seven years old,
she took medal at the conservatoire in
Rome, and her playing was SO pleasing
to the Queen of Italy that she invited
both sisters to the royal palace, and pre-
sented them with beautiful silver box
with plush Innings. For year Rosina
and Beatrice have been in England, COM
pleting their musical studies, and it is
said that the little musicians ere so bright
in their other studies that they have
already thoroughly mastered the English
language. - New York Ledger.

WHANGSTI VIKING WHANG.

Charlie was very much interested when
his papa first told him that the earth was
round like an orange, and that China
was directly beneath where he was stand
ing at that time. 1t seemed almost too
good to be true that China should be so
near, for Charlie liked the Chinese very
much. He had once seen Chinaman,
and the eyes of the great yellow faced
fellow had made him laugh, they were
set in so crooked He was a little dis
appointed to find that Chinaman was not
made of china, but he soon got over that,
and made up his mind that when the
ground in his papa's back yard got soft
again he would dig big hole right
through the earth and visit the beautiful
land of flowers himself
So when summer, came Charlie began
to dig. And, oh, dear! what awfuly
hard work it was. He dug for nearly
one whole hour, and then his back began
to ache, and the sun grew very hot, and
altogether he was very much discouraged,
and he ran into the house and buried his
face in his mammals lap and cried, it was
such a dreadful disappointment to him.
The next day he began again, and again
it made his back ache, and he had
another cry, and his mamma advised him
to give it up; and then what do you sup
pose happened? The postman came to
the door and brought letter for Charlie
which was signed, "Yours truly, Whang-
sti Wiling Whang, Emperor of China"
and which said that the Emperor was
much worried when he heard that Charlie
was digging that hole, because he was
afraid his country would fall into it and
get broken. And the letter added that
if Charlie would stop digging that hole
the Emperor would send him Chinese
doll-baby, kite, box of torpedoes, and
a teapot, and Charlie was so pleased that
he sat down right away and wrote to the
Emperor that he would be very glad to
stop digging if the Emperor would send
him all those things, which the Emperor
did that very night! That is, the things
came home that evening marked, with
Whangsti Wiling Whang's love-" but l
think Charles papa sent them and not
the Emperor, because it takes weeks and
weeks for anything to come to America
from China, and besides that papa was
very much afraid while Charlie was at
work that the whole back yard would be
dug up, so you see that there was some
reason why he should try to make him
stop.
At any rate, Charlie received all those
beautiful things, and since then has not
used his spade except as new kind of
, bat to hit balls with. New York

| BUSTING AND SwEEPING.--An apart
ment may be, to all appearance, neat and
| we'll swept, says the household editor OF
the Tribune, when in reality the dirt is
only hidden. II surges from the carpet
under a heavy football; it is under the
furniture; it is all over the doors and
windows, but to the careless observer
| the room may seem perfectly neat. If
the weekly sweeping of the rooms is
thoroughly done, it will be only necessary
to brush them up and dust them at other
times. If it is done in a perfunctory
manner the rooms will BE- in disorder
continually and require sweeping two or
three times week and yet will
never be clean: 1t is the old story of Moli-
dusta, "who is anon and anon, sir, frisk-
ing about in a whirlpool of hustle and
confusion, and is always dirty under pre-
tence of being always cleaning" The
first thing to do when the time for the
weekly sweeping of a room arrives is to
open the windows and close the register.
The blinds and the window stills should
then be brushed and busted, so that no
dust from them will fly into the room.
Then the smaller pieces Of movable fur
niture, including the chairs and stands,
should be busted and taken out of the
room, with all the bric-a- brac and tiny
ornaments. The larger pieces should
then be busted and covered up closely
The ceiling should be brushed down with
long brushes for the purpose, and then the
sweeping should begin. Sweep with
short, strong strokes, first space in the
direction of the rep of the carpet, then
across the same space. When the carpet
has been thoroughly goGe over in this
way and the dust taken up, go over it
second time with broom dampened with
salt and water Use a half worn broom
for this purpose, as the dampening would
soon ruin the regular broom. Then brush
out all the 'dges of the CARPET and the
corners with little whisk- broom. The
dust will have settled enough under these
operations to begin busting. Dust the
windows, the lodges over the windows
and doors .and all the lodges of the
walls. Dust off the mantelpiece
and wipe off the hearth if
there is an open fireplace, or if there is
register, dust out the register. 1t is al
most needless to say that in the case of
an open fire or stove in the room, the
removal of the ashes is the first thing to
do before the sweeping is begun. Now
remove the busting sheets from the larger
pieces of furniture and wipe off any dust
which may have gathered under the
Sheets Wash the mirrors. Examine
the glass globes and wash or dust them,
according to their condition. Wash the
after the busting sheets have
been shaken out of them. Put down tho
arrange the window-shades in
place, bring back the smaller pieces of
furniture and the bric-a-bac and orna-
ncnts. Then is the room thoroughly
swept and busted and purified, so that it
nay be kept clean with slight care for
week.

A Woman's Remarkable Memory.

A curious instance of "long" memory
was recently told of a lady who formerly
lived in Missouri, but who is now resi-
dent of Ohio. AS she was one day rid
ing on an East Eighth street cable car in
Kansas City she casually glanced at the
houses as she passed. In one of the
yards she saw a silk patchwork quilt
hanging on line. Instantly she stopped
the car and going to the house rang the
door bell and asked if Mrs. B lived
there. The reply being in the affirmative
she entered and a moment later two old
friends were chatting over forlne, times.
She said she had recognized the quilt as
one she had seen her friend make in
Central Missouri eighteen years before.
