A Race of Giant Cannibals.

Unlikely as it may seem to some who
read these lines. it is fact neverthe-
less that there is an island in the gulf
of California, not more than 60 miles
from the Mexican mainland, which is
inhabited by the remnants Of race of
giant cannibals. This startling discov-
cry was made by west coast natural
ist early in 1891 and has since been
confirmed by both United States and
Mexican explorers. Mr.. McNamara,
the scientist referred to, has photo
graph of one of the men found by him
on the island, that individual, although
not one of the largest, being over z feet
in height. The island upon which they
were found is known as the island or
isle of Leri, and the original discoverer
says that there is every evidence of can
nibalism among them. Louis Re-

An Armenian Legend.

Ararat, one of the most majestic
mountains in the world, rises 1900
feet above the vast fiat plain which
bears its name and reigns over the sur
rounding mountains. Early in the morn
ing, while all the valleys of Ararat and
the neighboring mountains are buried
in shadow, the white top of the Scrip
tural mountain CLEANS beautiful in the
first beams of the sun.
The Armenian people tell this story
about the inhabitants of Pharbee:
Once the devil and Pharbee man
laid wager as to which should first
see the sun. The one who saw it first
was to box the others ears. VERY
we'll, said the Armenian, and he lay
down and slept sweetly, while the dev-
il, itching to punish his enemy, stood
looking eastward, and with eager eyes
watched the whole night for the sunrise.
Early in the morning, the Pharbee man
rose, and pointing to the top of Ararat,
which was already shining in the sun,
cried ioyfully, II see it!'' The devil
was vanquished. The Pharbee man,
with his strong hand, boxed the devil g
ears. Ever since that time, the devil
has been afraid of the people of the Ar
menian village of harbee.-Woman' q

Congress Water.

How many people know that out by
the Greenough statue of Washington,
east of the capitol, is vast and cav
ernous reservoir? Not one in thou
sand, but there it is, down in the bow
els of the earth, and covered deep be-
meath the smooth surface of asphaltum.
Away back in the thirties congress pur-
chased spring over east of the present
site of Howard university. 1t is now
at the bottom of the unused distribut-
ing reservoir. From it pipes were laid
to the capitol, and in pond east of the
building the water flowed and was held
for the use of the early Solons of the
hill. In 1876 the reservoir was arched
over and covered in, but there it is, and
if congress has been neglectful of the
city's interests as to water supply,
the reason is not hard to find. Congress
has its own private tap. Pipes run into
the capitol, furnishing the boilers, cool
ers and water for cleaning purposes.
There is an overflow pipe that runs into
the pretty little grotto below the senate
wing at one side of the main sidewalk
and tinkles over the mossy bank in a
miniature cascade. Washington Post.

ARTISTS OF The ROUNDUP.
OIS Tir,o Texas Cowboys Vastly Dirercnt
From Those of the Present Day.


From Those of the Present Day.
Tho old time cowboy is no more. He
passed in his checks With the free grass
custom. The big pasture hns intro
ducod new order of cowboy, who sleeps
IN II huusc and "uLcya orders" or quits.
The old cowboy WINS the companion of
his boss and shared his pleasures and
his hardships.
No manager in this hig hcadqunrtcr
rockhousc reminded him uf his inferior
rank in society, nor did amy of the mod
ern ranch accessories mar the common
dangers the pleasures and the freedom
and equality of the whilom cowboy and
cowlnan. But tho ranch in the oldcn
time was cottonwood loghouse to
cook in, and for roof and protection
from the weather tho slicker was used,
and mother earth supplied their beds.
The broad range and the overhanging
sky answered for house and home. A
roundup in 1S61-S0 was not bounded
by wire fences, but the boys gnlloped out
of camp after breakfast, made wide
sweep, and all then drove toward
common center, and 10! directly at that
point was gathered herd of stock cat
tie of all brands, ready for tho cut to
begin.
The high toned man was tabooed. /
remember such man appeared at the
ranch of j. T., in Shackleford county,
in 1869. He was n city fellow, and
would say Thank you" and such like.
His intense politeness and high toned
nonsense aggravated the boys nightly.
Jim b. in particular-poor fellow
was especially frctted by his nonsense,
as he called 1t, and tried to ridicule it
out of him, but in vain. At last his
resentment ripened into genuine hatred
and it was hard to keep the peace be-
tween them, for the city fellow had
grit too.
Well, one morning in 1869, at Noun
tain pass, iii Taylor county, long before
any one lived in that section, Jim got
awfully mad and gave the city fellow a
cussing, whercupon row resulted and
blodshed was barely prevented there
and then. We got the city fellow to ride
off, and it looked like peace had return

flash the city chap ran before Jim,
dismounted, leveled his gun on him and
demanded an apology or death.
Jim jerked out two six shooters, but
said nothing, and instantly the city
fellow fired. Poor jim rolled off his
horse a dead man. got to them just
as Jim fell. He died instantly, shot
through the heart. His slayer mounted
his horse and lit out" We buried
Jim and went on with our herd, two
men short, but with no discordant ele-
ment among us.
Such was the old way. The boys were
courteous and kind, they were gener-
GUS and brave, Industrious and honest,
but they would not stand any high toned
nonsense. A new era has set in. Which
is the better we cannot say, but one
thing is sure-with all his faults, and

Hose of olden Time.

In the very long ago hose were not
stockings as now worn, but made long,
and were often drawn up even to the
waist, and, oddly enough, had pockets
in their sides. We read, moreover, that
in the time of the Tudors and Stuarts
they We're of great variety, both OF ma
terial and color, and for such as could
command the luxury were richly trim
med and costly; they were often called

Betsy Patterson non.rar.e.

Nine. Betsy Patterson Bonaparte, the
sister n-law of an emperor, was born in
Baltimore, and after living many years
abroad returned to her native land,
where che passed the last years Of her
life.
One Of the old iady's crack stories in
her latter days was Of lesson in eti-
quette given her by the black butler of
her host. At breakfast she motioned
to him and handed him her cup, wish
ing a second cup of tea. Uncle Bob,
instead of taking the cup to his mistress
at the head of the table. put it down
with great flourish on the sideboard.
"But wanted another cup Of tea, |"
said Nine. Bonaparte.
did you, mum?" blandly asked Un-
Gle Bob. You see, mum, you put your
spoon in do saucer, an that means you
doan' want no mo- tea. When you
wants some mo- tea, de erect way is
to put dc spoon in de cup-like dis
heah, and Uncle Bob gravely iliustrat-
ed the erect" method of procedure. :
The family wero on thorns, expecting
an outbreak from the sister-in-law of
an emperor, although there is no doubt
that a black butler in his own baili-
wick could face an emperor himself,
but Betsy was only amused and laughed
heartily.
After so years Of money getting and
money saving, she realized in the lat
ter part of her life how futile il all was
and explained grimly, "Once I had
everything but money! Now 1 have

81 by good nursing. Schaefer then put
the balls in the left hand top corner. and
playing the anchor shot from time to
time scored 75. when he brought the red
out and had to play for position. At 80
he got them together again and ran to 9S,

ADMISSION OF CHINESE.
Important Decision Relating to the
Restriction Act.

Important Decision Relating to the
Restriction Act.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10. = United
States District Judge Morrow rendered
an important decision to-day, defining the
power of Collectors of Customs as Judges
of the rights of Chinese seeking admis-
sion to this country. The local Collector
of Customs insisted that the law gave
him exclusive authority to pass iudg-
ment in the cases of all Chinese seeking
admission.
In the case of Tom Yum, a passenger
on the steamer Gaelic, who claimed to be
u native-bor citizen of California, and as
such claimed the right to land, Collector
Wise held an investigation and decided
that the Chinaman'S claims to citizenship
were fraudulent He therefore refused to
allow Tom Yum to land. Habeas corpus
was resorted to by the Chinese.
Judge Morrow holds that the iurisdic-
ton of Collectors OF Customs is limited to
the cases of aliens, and that in cases of
American citizens or persons claiming
citizenship the Collector is without au-
thority to finally or conclusively PASS
upon their right to come into this country.
The case of Tom Yum was accordinpiy
referred to a United States Commissioner
to take evidence and pass upon the China
mans claims TO citizenship.
