have the cable actually resting on

Eye Service.

There is nothing more humiliatlng
to a right-minded person than to be
watched. There is nothing more an
noying to an employer than the spec
tacle of men hard at work in his
presence. but idle, or dilatory so soon
dis his back is turned. A man who
is DESTROYS of earning his wages works
at all times during business hours,
but one whose chief anxiety is to
d:aw his salary is better out of the
way than in it, and is, moreover, dis
honest Whether the engagement
be Tor one year or one week, the
agreement, on the other hand, is to
pay certain sum for the services of
an indiyidu al: on the other, to work
faithfully and honorably for the said
term. What would be thought of
the employer who should, on pay
day, withhold portion Of the salary
by reason of the contract not being
kept by the workman? He would be
universally condemn I'd as mean be-
yond precedent, but i there any more
justice or honor in frittering away an
employers time, or deceiving him by
pretended performance Of work,
than in withholding an employees
salary? None at all. Labor is hon
orable, and the man who works for
his living, whether with pen or a
hammer and Oh sci, is to be respected,
but no one respects a man who is
constantly trying to evade his duty.
Greatly Tempted.
We hear great deal about the
self-repression of the Scotch, who
are even shy Of showing their affec-
tion to one another. bat that species
of moderation scarcely exists to day
in New England. There was time
when the genuine Puritan felt
obliged to resist his impulse to
"gush," but his descendants have
long ago broken such iron bands.
One man, however, has proved his
descent from such stern ancestry
He has been married about year,
and is deyotedly attached to his wife.
His life without her was hard and
solitary one, and in the sunshine she
brought him his nature has bios
somed out into good deeds and gen.
lie thought.
"You are not as melancholy as you
used to be, said an old acquain lance
to him not long ago.
Melancholy! l should say not!"
he returned, with emphasis. "How
could anybody be sad with such a
wife as I've got? Why, sometimes
wen think what she's been to me.
it's as much as | can do to keep from
showing right out what ! think of
her."

Aztec Footprints In Tennessee,


DR.. A. P. Clark OF the Smithsonian
Institution, Washington, d. c., was
an route home from Cleveland, Tenn,
where he and q party of other learned
gentlemen from theilfstitutionin vesti-
gated the solid stone wall near Clever
land on which are marks, which
connect ancient and prehistoric for
nations with the geological wonders
of the present day. The party were
furnished with a full history OF it's dis
covery, the geology of the section, the
various formations and stratifca-
tions, with elaborate drawings OF the
wall proper and the characters in
scribed thereon.
DIR. Clark said to an American re-
porter who sought him: cit is q
genuine wall, similar to some found in
Central America and Mexico. Such
formations are peculiar to- tropical
climates only, and mono have ever
been found so far north Of the
equator as this one: The wall was
found buried beneath the earth, and
enough OF it was uncovered last Spring
to give the biologists of the country
some idea Of what it was. We I'M
covered more OF the wall, and on one
stone, twelve feet under ground, va
found the imprint of man foot
plainly and distinctly marked, l3
inches long and 5 inches wide, with
some mystic characters in the heel
and foot If these characters had
bee:, in the bali of the foot they would
have been Identical with the curious
hieroglyphics found only in India. We
have some splendid photographs OF
the wall and the marks, but have
been unable to decipher the characters
as yet. The rest OF the party are still
at Cleveland making further investiga-
tion."

ANCIENT SANITATION.

The Art Of Sewer Building Took q
Long Time to Learn.
Towns must have fearfully suffered
before people learned that the houses
must be so far separate as to allow
air to blow between them. The
Greeks must certainly have made their
cities and many OF their streets ex-
eeeding handsome, but their earlier
towns and even Athens were too
much crowded, and so much did they
fear jobbery among the sharp~eyed
business men OF the city that they
dared not trust anyone with money
to rebuild the place. In constanti-
nople Zeno ordered all houses to be
IL feet apart all the way up, and the
projections which caused the houses
to nearly meet above were disallowed.
This was an effort, after long inter-
val of neglect.
He attempted also to go further,
and ordered that no one should stop
the view of the sea from his neighbor.
This would be we'll in our sea-bathing
towns, where houses are built, before
others without pity, and not only is
the view destroyed, but the whole kv-
ing Of the families who possessed it
and to whom the view paid the rent.
But the laws are of no value unless a
strong and vigilant executive attends
to them. Constantinople became so
bad that it's destruction by fire was
scarcely deemed misfortune.
How infected by their own crowding
the Romans must have been when the
houses were ordered to be at least FIVE
feet apart and not more than nine
stories high! Augustus said they
should not exceed 10 feet in height,
and Trajan made the limit 60. The
faborious proofs that sewer air is un-
wholesome have taken commissions
and boards OF health many years of
hard labor in our time, but the whole
is as clearly recognized in "Just inian' 9
Digest" in quotation from Ulpian,
that it is evident that the question was
then past all dispute.-F.om the
Architect.

PRINCE AND FLOWER-6ELLER
Anecdote OF the Father Of the Pres
ent Emperor Of Germany.

Anecdote OF the Father Of the Pres
ent Emperor Of Germany.
A pretty story Of the late Emperor
Frederick is told in one of the German
papers. Some years ago, shortly be-
fore the death of the old Emperor of
Germany, tall, handsome gentleman
jumped into q third class carriage of
a local railway at Berlin just as the
train was leaving the station. An old
tlower-seller with basketful Of newly
cut hyacinths was the only other &C.
cupant of the compartment. He
asked the old dame to sell him g.
bunch, and modified by his suave
manner, she chose the freshest and
largest and handed it to rim. It's
price was q penny, but as the gentle
man had no coppers and the old
woman no change, not having sold
any OF her goods yet, she was paid
with mark piece which, she said at
once, was a thing that had never been
heard of before in g third-class rail-
way carriage.
Presently the stranger and the
flower girl were in deep conversation,
and it turned out that the poor wom-
an was the only bread-winner of the
family of four. Her son was crippled,
her granddaughter little schoolgirl,
and her husband had for some months
been out OF work, since q new railroad
official had dismissed him as being too
old to do much work. The stranger
then suggested that she should apply,
on her husbands behalf, to the rail-
road authorities.
"That is no good whatever" she re-
piled as she wiped her tears wit b her
apron. eff you haven't the -, for
your cousin nowadays you can't get
any body to listen to you" '"Then
try the Emperor" the stranger went
on. "Alas!" she sighed, eff the old
gentleman was allowed to see the Pc
tltions that are sent it might do some
good, but he does not get to know
about us poor people,"
'fWel, then, let your husband write
to the Crown Prince" eyes," she
said, che might do that" and she
would tell him so as soon as she had
sold her flowers. By this time the
train had got to the terminus, the old
dame had bundled out her basket and
noticed with astonishment that the
officials and the crowd on the plat
form looked at her carriage and salut-
ed and cheered. "What'e up2" she
asked. "Why, the Crown Prince was
in the same compartment with you'll"
Then the fower-seller held her head
high and told every syllable of what
had happened to the delighted crowd.
Her flowers were sold before five
minutes were over, and q fortnight
afterward her husband was at work
eeain in his old place.

QUEER HISTORIC TABLETS.

An interesting Discovery Chront-
cled From an illinois Farm,
What is believed to be most inn
portant and valuable historical dis
coYery was made on q farm three
miles northwest of La Harpe, says a.
La Harpe, ILL.,, special to the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, and interest is
added to the find from the fact that
some time in October last two hunt
ers had discovered at the same spot
two sand tablets bearing strange in
scriptions. The recent find is that of
= sandst one tablet bearing number
Of letters hewn in the stone. The
lettering is in Roman capitals nearly
an inch in length. The letters are as
follows:
"June II, III, Nous sont CAPTIVE
*Pa LIE Indins Est gu Sc *Alb i Ule
ct 1lmon defniefmots bon Pa II univer
1t COL"
Stars Indicate the position of q
curious character that cannot be
transmitted, bat which resembles an
inverted Z or q, capital L. The dagger
indicates a. figure similar to- Che
capital E, although The middle cross
is wanting. The above strange letters
are fac-simile of the original in the
stone from tissue paper impression.
Hon. j. II. Hungate will forward the
tablet to- the Smithsonian Institution
at Washington, where the other two
tablets were sent by him several
months ago: The other two tablets,
which were found in virgin soil, under
the root Of an old tree, contained the
following lettering: On ono was "Jun
II, 1919, I puts Hop in Cookbook
hop in tbs will Id IT," On the other
stone tablet was this inscriptions:
''Emtiin go"
The theory advanced az the 5ime
was that the stone tablets were en-
graved by one or more OF La Sale or
Tonti's followers who had revolted
from their commander at Fort Creve
Coeur, near where Peoria now is, in
1857. 1t was thought that INIT was
meant for .Tontf. Mr.. Hungate has
secured the afidavits of med who
made the discovery touching the
commences of the find, and viii give

chance to unEaYel the strange letter.
