Two Things That Scare "a Negro.

Two seemingly harmless things excite
the fear of the southern negro. One is
the cracking of the finger joints; the
other is to be stepped over as he lies
prone upon the ground. The cracking
of the finger joints seems to suggest to
the negro imagination the rafting of a
skeletons bones, while to be stepped
over is regarded as likely to bring bad
luck to grown folks and to check the
growth of children. A half grown ne
gro boy will sternly command play
fellow who has stepped over his body to
step back, in order that the spell may
be removed.-New York Sun.

One end of the apple bears the name
of "basin" and contains the remnants
of the blossom-sometimes called the
eye of the fruit. This part of the apple
is deep in somevarieties and shallow and
open in others. This IS the weakest point
in the whole apple as concerns the ques-
ton of the keeping quality of the fruit.
If the basin is shallow and the canal to
the core firmly closed, there Is much less
likelihood of the fruit decaying than
when it is deep, and the evident opening
connects the center of the fruit with the
urface.-Professor B. D. Halsted in
Popular Science Monthly.

Predicting EARTHQUAKES.

Professor Falb of Vienna has attained
some notoriety from the fact that he
predicted the coming of both series of
earthquake shocks from which the island
of Zante has recently suffered.
Earthquake prognosticationshave been
recorded as coming true in not few in
stances, but there is reason to believe
that the fulfllment of the prophecies was
purely accidental. Seismologists are not
likely to give Professor Falb much credit
for prescience. They will say he merely
happened to foretell what was coming.
We may, to be sure, predict earth
quakes in some regions with a good deal
of confidence that the representation
will come true. If we predict, for in
stance, that an earthquake or earth
tremors will be felt in Japan tomorrow,
the chances are that the prediction will
come true, for one or two earth move
ments on an average are felt in that
country every day, but we cannot tell
exactly where they will occur or what
degree of violence they will exhibit.
The greatest boon which could be con-
ferred upon regions that are subject to
violent earthquake shocks would be the
discovery of some means of foretelling
the coming of these terrible calamities.
For years seismologists have given their
most earnest attention to this problem,
but it cannot be said that they have
made much progress. Professor John
Milne says that he and his assistants
have spent years in observing the earth
quake phenomena of Japan, but they
have never yet succeeded in foretelling
the coming of an earthquake.-New
York Sun.
Hawk Noses a Very Old Feature.
1t is a mistake to suppose that the
hawk nose is confined to Hebrew own
ers, though the persistence of the quail
tiles which it indicates makes it most
frequent in the race which it principally
adorns. A pictorial addition to the his
tory of these noses was recently discov-
cred in a graphic caricature drawn by
the clerk of the court on the edge of a
fifteenth century record of q plaintiff
whose nationality the least expert mas
ologists" would have at once detected,
without the legend, aaron filius dia-
boli," which the artist had been at pains
to inscribe beneath it. But the "hawk
nose" is at least equally the possession
of the Syrian and the Syrian Arab, as it
was of the Phenician of old-all shrewd,
money getting races.
Vespasian possessed it in perfection,
and though it is news to us that when
young he retrieved his ruined fortune
by horse dealing, a science always no.
torious for its interruptions dealing and
sharp, dishonest practice" he was de-
scended from thoroughly business par
ent and bequeathed his carefulness in
money matters to his son Titus.-Lon-

A Gigantic Tombstone.

One of the largest tombstones in the
world is to be found over the grave of a
Georgia hermit named Scarlet, who be-
fore he died selected monstrous gran
tie bowlder, 100 by $50 feet, and directed
that he be buried under it, A small
cave was excavated beneath this minia-
ture mountain, Scarlet directing the
work. 1t remained thus for some years,
and when he died he was entombed
there, and the bowlder remains as his
headstone.-New York Recorder.

Duties at Home Neglected.

Rev. Mr.. A, in Felin's Grove, Pa,
had just commenced his sermon one
Sunday morning when a boy some 8 or
Q years of age got up, and walking
straight up to the minister asked in a
voice loud enough to be heard by the
congregation: MAY l go home? I forgot
to feed the pigs" Consent was given,
but the effect upon the minister as well
as upon the congregation was far from
serious. Chicago Herald.

 CHAPTER XII.

Two days later. A fierce July sun is pouring down flood of hu
 mid, moisture-laden heat upon a densely packed, sweltering mass of turbulent men, many of them flushed with drink, all of them Flushed with triumph, for the ill armed, ill-dis- eiplined militia of the seventies--a pigmy force as compared with the expert ''guardsmen" of to-day-has been scattered to the winds the sturdy police have been swept from the streets and driven to the shelter of the stations. Mob law rules su- preme. Dense clouds of smoke are rising from sacked and ruined ware houses and from long trains of burn ing cars. Here and there little groups of striking employees have gathered, holding aloyf from the reckless and infuriated mob, ap- palled at the sight of riot and de. vastation resulting from their ill., advised action. Many of their num- Der, conscious of their responsibility for the scenes of bloodshed and pill lage and wanton destruction of prop erty, public and private, would now gladly undo their work, and array themselves among the few defenders of the great corporations they have served for years and deserted at the call of leaders whom they never saw

'sIeads the procession" into the "Garden City" of the ante-bellum days. By Drummond's side IS a railway official gazing ahead to see that every switch is properly set and signalling back to the engineer when to "slow," when to come confident ly ahead. Behind the platform car come ordinary baggage and passen
 ger coaches, black with men in the same rough, devil may care scouting rig. All but their horses and horse equipments lefts with the quarter master at the Sidney station, the battalion has been run to Chicago exactly as it came from the plains, and Chicago's "toughs, !" who would have hooted and jeered, perhaps, at sight of polished brasses and natty uniforms, recoil bewildered before this gang of silent and disciplined "jayhawkers." :" Steadily, silently, ominously the train rolls along. As it is rounding curve several ugly looking fellows are seen running at speed toward the switch lever at the next street crossing. Excitedly the railway man clutches Drummond's elbow and points. Two troopers are kneeling close at hand.
 "Shoot if they touch that switch, !" says Drummond, and instantly the locks click as the hammers were brought to full cock. The foremost runner is almost at the iron stand, his hand is outstretched to grasp it, when a gasping, warn ing cry reaches his ears. Glancing back, he sees his fellows scatter ing to either side, and one look at the smooth rolling car reveals the cause-two carbines are levelled at

Had Ill. Nerve win Him.

The office boy had enough nerve for two office boys, but he hadn't t capacity enough for half one. One day the head of the firm called him into the office.
 Frank" he said firmly, we've decided to dispense with your ser vices"
 "Yes, sir" responded the boy, without turning hair.
 ''I might say" added tho em- ployer, "tbat I dismiss you because you are totally incapable of perform ing the duties of an office boy. You neglect the office, let things go about as they please, are careless of your appearance and are generally what an office boy should not be.
 "Yes, sir. '"
 "However, if there is any other thing you have in view I'll be glad to help you all 1 can.
 ''There's something l think 1 am fitted for, !" ventured the youth.
 ''What is thati"
 'sI'd like to be junior member of the firm. 1 was never cut out for an office boy, anyway. Do get itf" and he waited long enough to get the bounce direct. t.--Detroit Free Press.

and in a cause they never under
 stood, but there can be "no footsteps
 backward now. The tide of riot
 has engulfed the great city of the
 West, and the majesty of the law is
 but the laughing stock of the lowest
 of the masses. Huddled in their
 precinct stations the police are
 bandaging their bruised and broken
 heads. Rallied at their armories, the
 more determined of the militia are
 preparing to defend them and their
 colors against the anticipated at
 tack of fifty times their force in
 'ftoughs "-Chicago's vast accumu-
 lation of outlawed, vaga5ond, or criminal men. The city fathers are well-nigh hopeless. Merchants and business men gather on change with blanched faces and the oft repeated query; "What nextf What nextf" Every moment brings tidings of fresh dismay. New fires, and crippled and help less departments for the rioters slash their hose and laugh their efforts to scorn. A gleam of hope shone in at 10 o'clock, and the board room rang with cheers at the presidents announcement that the regulars were coming-a whole regiment of infantry from Omaha was already more than half way. But the gleam died out at noon, when, with white lips, an official read telegram say ing the strikers had "side tracked" the special trains bearing the sol diers, and they could not advance another mile.
 And so they had on one road but there are others, better guarded, better run. The sun is well over to the west again, Chicago is resigning itself to another night of horror, when from the suburbs there comes gliding in to the heart of the city the oldest looking railway train that has been seen for years; sight at which host of riotous men break away from the threatening front, dragging with them those "pals" whom drink has either maddened or stupe6ed a sight at which skulk. ing blackguards who have picked up paving stones drop them into the gutters and think twice before they lay hand on their revolver butts. No pufing engine hauls the train the motor power is at the rear. First and foremost is platform car, open, uncovered, but over it's buffer glisten the barrels of the dreaded | Gatling gun, and around the gun can these be s)ldiersf Covered l with dust and einders, hardly yes tige of uniform among them, in the shabbiest of old felt hats, in hunt ing shirts of flannel or buckskin, in trousers and Indian leg gings, but with their prairie belts crammed with copper cartridges, their brawny brown hands grasping l the browner caroines, their keen l eyes peering straight into the faces of the thronging crowd, their bronze !
