How the Run OH the Bank
Stopped.

The American Catholic Quarterly Review.
Matters at the Bank of Dublin
were looking blue, but just at the
right moment one of the officers
had an inspiration. He thought that
by O'Connell they might be per-
suaded to retire. O'Connell came,
but with an inspiration of his own.
He entered the directors room by
a private door, and without any ex-
planation called for a fire shovel
and a handful of gold pieces. He
heated the gold till it was alto
gether too hot for comfortable
handling, and sent it out just SO
to be paid over the counter.
Then a new batch was treated in
the same way, and for some min
utes there was plenty of fun in the
front ranks of the fun-loving crowd,
for an Irishman loves fun, even in
the most unfavorable circum-
stances. But the leaven was work
ing, SO that soon some one who had
just got his own money safe, and
was tossing it from one hand to
the other to keep it warm, cried
out: "Arrah, boys, what's the use?
Sure, don't we see them coming
the goold, as fast as they can, be-
fore our eyes?"
"True for you," says another
and, "Be-dad, you're right" puts
in a third; and with that the true
Irish humor came to the top, and
a shout went up: Long live the
Bank of Dublin" and the run
was over. 1t was not the fire
shovel, nor the hot gold pieces.
that did the work; ii was the grand
head of brains behind them.

Indians Tracking.

Blackwood's Magazine.
1t was a most strange and inter-
esting experience to see the Indian
read all the signs of the different
animals in the grass or among the
woods with the same ease as we
read an open book. The least dis
asssa cement @ in: the grass or sticks, E:pt9
however'small, was enough. Glanc-
ing casually at it in passing, he
would say: "Bear, week old"
"Yesterday," "Deer, this morn
ing" "Very DID," "Caribou, last
month";" and so On. 1t was won
derful to behold this instinct in a
man.
I had for a long time been fol-
lowing this trail of the moose,
which I thought was fresh trail,
when I got sick of it, and began to
cross-examine Mr.. Big Partridge as
to how far off our quarry was likely
to be. Big Partridge then showed
that he was sick of the imaginary
moose hunt himself, and owned up.
"Old trail, all moose nipoh"-that
is, dead. He had only been lead
ing me about in this way to amuse
me, knowing it useless the whole
time! He exacted $3.50 for that
days sport.

could see the black crest of name
between his ears move lightly in
the wind, for he was so near that
had I held my rifle by the small of
the stock I could have touched him
with the muzzle by holding it at
arms length. Once only he turned
his head and looked round right
into my face, but, of course, with
out seeing me, as I was in the dark,
and apparently without taking the
slightest alarm as he again turned
his head, and stood looking at the
wagon as before. I could only see
his head, his shoulder being hid
den by the righthand stem Of the
tree, and I had made up my mind
to try and blow his brains out,
thinking I was SO near that I could
not fail to do so even without being
able to see the sight of my rifle.
1 had just got the muzzle of my
rifle into the fork of the tree, and
was about to raise it quite leisurely,
the lion having hitherto showed
no signs of uneasiness. I was
working as cautiously as possible,
when, without the slightest warn
ing, he suddenly gave low grating
growl and turned round, his head
disappearing instantly from view.
With jerk, I pulled the muzzle
of my rifle from the one opening
and pushed it through to the other,
just as the lion walked rapidly past
in the direction from which he had
come. He was not more than four
or five yards from me, and l should
certainly have given him a mortal
wound, had not my rifle missed
fire at this most critical juncture,
the hammer giving a loud click in
the stiffness Of the night. At the
sound the lion broke into gallop,
and was almost instantly out of
sight.

The average weight of the brain
of an adult male is three pounds
and eight ounces; of a female,
two pounds and four ounces. The
nerves are all connected with it
directly or by the spinal marrow.
These nerves with their branches
and minute ramifcations probably
exceed 100000 in number.

Scotch Hospitality, 1929.

The Scottish Review.
We have an interesting account
of hospitality in 1929, which gives
a good idea of the manner in which
a country gentleman of the period
lived. Dinner and supper were
brought in by the servants with
their hats on, a custom which is
corroborated by Fynes Moryson,
who, writing in 1898, says that, be-
ing at a knights house who had
many servants to attend him, they
brought in the meats with their
heads covered with blue caps.
After washing their hands in a
basin, they sat down to dinner,
and Sir James Pringle said grace !;
the viands seemed to have been
plentiful and excellent, "big pot
tage. long kale, bowe or white kale,
which is cabbage, 'breoh sopps,'
powdered beef, roast and boiled
mutton, venison pie in form of
an egg, goose"; then they had
cheese cut and uncut, and apples.
But the close of the feast was the
most curious thing about it.
The table cloth was removed, and
on it was put a "towel the whole
breadth of the table, and half the
length of it, a basin and ever to
wash, then a green carpet laid on,

AN AUsPICIoUs BEGINNING.

The beginning of the Southern
Railway is under the most favora-
bic conditions. While the proper
ties have been reorganized on a
basis that would enable prudent
management to make fixed charges
during a depressed business period,
such as the South is just emerging
from, the prospects for business
greater in volume than the South
ever before enjoyed are now of the
most encouraging character. The
cotton crop will yield nearly ten
million bales. and the South will
not only have enough corn for it's
own use, but a great surplus to
sell. The general condition of the
planters and farmers in the South
was never better. They were never
before so little in debt.
AN INDUSTRIAL REVIVAL.
Factories and furnaces are re-
suming in every direction. One
order for twenty thousand tons of
pig iron has been given the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company by
Matthew Addy & Co., of st. Louis,
and in consequence the Cowan fur
mace has been put in blast, and the
South Pittsburg furnace will also
be in blast in few days. Every
factory in the city of Chattanooga
is at work and the greatest activity
is among the boiler makers.
IMPROVED BUSINESS IN THE SOUTH.
A very market improvement in
the general tone of business
throughout the South has been ap-
parent for some time. The feeling
thrt the South is on the threshold
of great era of prosperity seems
to be daily increasing in the North
and West. Eastern banks are offer
ing money at low rates of interest
to their Southern correspondents
and large mercantile houses are
crowding the South with CONNER
cial travellers. The Southern Rail
way has its beginning at a propi-
tious time.

A SOUTHERN EXTENSION OF WANDER
Bits SYSTEM.

BILT'S SYSTEM.
There is now very little doubt
that the Southern Railway project
is simply all extension Of the Van
derbilt system into and throughout
the South. The Chesapeake and
Ohio will, no doubt, become a part
of the system within a short time,
and the Queen and Crescent system
will ultimately become part of
the system, whatever may be the
immediate plans of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton people.
Through the Cincinnati Southern
the Big Four, of the Vanderbilt
system, will be reached at Cincin-
natl. The controlling stock of the
Central Railroad Of Georgia, is
held by the Southern Railway, and
when the property finally gets into
the hands of the security holders,
which is only question of a short
time, it will be discovered that the
Rothschild-Vanderbilt system is
in control.
The plans of the Drexel- Morgan
people are now 30 near fruition that
it is now no longer matter of
speculation. The greatest railroad
omblnation on earth is near COM
pletion. Twenty-Five thousand
miles of the best railroad property
in America will soon be under the
control of the Observation-Disclosures
bilt combination. It has Eeen an
open secret for some months that
the Rothschilds were becoming in
terested in American railroads.

HORRORS OF THE FIRE.
Sickening Details of Suffering at
a Minnesota Town and the
Means Taken for Relief.

PINE City, MINI, Sept. 5.-A
courier rode into this city late yes
terday afternoon with an urgent re-
quest that medical aid and sup
plies be forwarded at once to Mora,
a small town twenty miles west of
here.
The messenger, Henry Luther,
said that dozen refugees from
Pokegama were dying for need of
medicines. A call for volunteers
was made and in ten minutes Drs.
Norton, Perkins, and Allen and
Miss Maggie Mcleod, a trained
nurse from Toronto, Canada, who
has been administering to the suf-
fering here, announced that they
were ready to 60. A team of four
horses were hitched to a farm
wagon and at 5 o'clock the start
was made. AS the road was crossed
by the trail of fire their way is ex-
tremely difficult, charred trunks
blocking the way.
The story told by the messenger
brings to light hitherto unpublish-
ed horrors of the devastation. Mora
itself escaped destruction, and the
human beings whose lives are ebb-
ing away in it's limits received their
injuries at Pokegama, four miles
to the north. Late Sunday night
the leaders of those who fled from
there arrived at Mora. They were
burned: but not badly. Neverthe-
less they kept DIR. Lewis, the only
physician in the neighborhood,
busy and made serious inroads into
his stock of linlments and medi-
cines.
Monday night a band of fifteen
half cooked human beings stum-
bled into the village, more dead
than alive. They had not had a
mouthful to eat since Saturday
afternoon, and in their reason-be-
reft condition lost their way in the
tangle of. .hackened stumps, one
man with an eye burned out and
the other nearly sightless, bnt de-
spite his agony the strongest of the
party was carrying another whose
feet had been burned off. A wo-
man had taken off her skirt to
keep the flies and mosquitoes from
her bleeding head.
DR.. Lewis did all he could to
alleviate the agony of those unfor-
tunates, but his medicines gave
out, and finally he, after three
days. incessant work, succumbed
and was unable to do m ore. Then
the appeal for aid was sent. The
courier also said six more bodies
were found at Pokegama yesterday.
There were 113 inhabitants in
Pokegama. Twenty-Five bodies of
the dead have been found.

THE CONDOROFTHEA ANDES.

Popular Science Monthly.
Despite it's immense size and
weight, the condor possesses the
power of rising in it's flight to a
greater distance above the earth
than other birds; and Darwin
speaks rapturously of it's grace of
motion on the wing. when the
condors are wheeling in a flock,
round and round any spot, their
flight is beautiful. Except when
rising from the ground, 1 do not
recollect ever to have seen one Of
these birds flap it's wings. Near
Lima 1 watched several for nearly
an hour without once taking off
my eyes; they moved in large
curves, sweeping in circles, de-
scending and ascending without
giving a single flap. 1t is truly
wonderful and beautiful to see so
great bird, hour after hour, with
out any apparent exertion, wheel
ing and gliding over mountain and
river" Humboldt claims that it
scars to an altitude of at least 2o,-S
600 feet above the sea. From the
cave Of Autisana, which is at an
elevation of 1858 feet above the
Pacific ocean, he observed condor
rise perpendicularly to still
greater height Of 6,S76 feet. Other
authorities state that it reaches
height of six miles above the sea
level. s.,
The bird from flying at this ex-
treme elevation, where the air must /
be SO highly rarifed, will drop sud-
denly to the valleys, thus in the
briefest time passing through an
almost incredible change of tenn
perature. At such a height the air (
cells of the condor, when they have
been filled in the lower region,
must be inflated in the most ex-3i
traordinary manner. But. the great
bird loves the heights. They are I
his chosen home. Hunger alone
drives him to the plains. AS soon
as his appetite is satisfied he leaves
them, appearing to be oppressed
by the higher temp ature, and ID
creased weight Of the atmosphere.
High up as the eye can reach, he
may be seen describing his grace
full circles against the blue. From
this or even more lofty point of
vantage he brings his telescope
eye to bear upon the earth, eagerly
scanning the movements of the
herds for the fall of some weakened
member of the flock. No sooner
does a poor creature drop than
down rush the condors to the feast.
In spite of the keenness of hun
ger sharpened by one knows
not how many days of watching
upon the wing at that frigid alti-
tude, our condor begins his repast
daintily, tasting first the tongue
and eyes, his chosen tid-bits. Rut
soon, fired by the sight of the beau
tiful banquet which death has
spread for him, he tears the tough
hide, and, wildly pulling with his
beak, pushing with his feet, and
Tapping his wide wings, gorges
himself, gulping down great hits of
flesh, and riots without stint until
he can hold no more. Fairly
drunken with his revolving feast,
he no longer has power to raise
himself upon the wing. Knowing
this, the Indians will often place
dead animal as a lure upon the
plains. When the birds have be-
come gorged and unable to fly, the
Indians appear and moose them
with the lasso.
