The characters i'll the Thousand and

step out of their setting words and to
take form and glow with the generous
warmth of life before ones very eyes.
The natives still drink the same coffee
and out of the same cups; they smoke the
same pipes; they wear generally the same
dress; they rlay the same primitive IN
struments that whisper the same strange
and plaintive tones; the funeral process

of old; the popular festivals or moollds
are still observed with the same untlrlng
capacitv for enjoyment; the public re-
citers still practice their profession be-
fore admiring crowds; the water carriers
still carry their burdens SO welcome to
the thirsty lips; except in the houses OF
the rich and thoroughly Europeanized,
the food is still eaten with the fingers
and in tho same manner, and the hands
are washed in the same basins and

The King of Bells.

The Titan of Bells, the King of Bells,
the Great Bell of Moscow, ETC., as vari-
ously known, has probably been de-
scribed a million times. 1t was cast in
1882, part of the metal used being from
tho fragments of The Giant. one Of the
former monster bells which have made
Moscow famous. The King was only
in use five years before it met with an
irreparable accident, having huge
piece broken from its side during the
great fire of 1877. 1t is now on the
ground and will probably never be re-
paired and hung, as it would be impos-
sible to do so without recasting it.
During the present century this mon
stor bell itself is said TO have been used
as a church, the three cornered break
in the side serving as doorl This story
is not at all improbable when we con-
slider its gigantic proportions, which
are as follows: Height, 10 feet inches;
circumference around the margin, 60
feet and 8 inches. The weight of this
Colossal folly" has been variously esti-
mated by different travellers and au-
thors, but as it has never been set down
at less than 443, 900 pounds am per-
fectly satisfied to give the minimum es-
innate, which is 240 tons!-St. Louis

New York Crowds,

The hurry and the hustle of a New
York crowdl Everybody talks about it.
Everybody feels rushed. 1t is tradi-
ton that the whole population of the is
land Of Manhattan is on the dead run
fully 20 hours out Of the "A. But some
time Just take the time to notice the
crowd and your progress on the street
and at the same time actually try to
move rapidly. Don't try to move against
the crowd. That isn't fair test. Get
on your own side of the walk and go
with the throng. Have five minutes in
which to get from Wall street to the
postoffice. You can easily doit, you say.
Try it.
See how many men you will stumble
up against in your haste. Notice the
number who are standing like trooo ~
the middle of the walk admiring the
pictures in the windows opposite. Watch
the action of the whole mass of people
when they come to workman placing
n stone in a new building. 1t will be
evident to you then that the normal con.
dition of a New York crowd is one Of
rest.
When one looks down upon the crowd,
it seems busy. 1t is really a sluggish
stream. Try to go faster than the cur
rent and you will find how slow it really
is. Some people may move fast in the
streets. But the hurrying crowd! There
is no such thing.-New York Tribune.

John Jacob Astor.s Thrift.

John Jacob Astor appears to have in
herited the quality of thrift from his an
cestors. The stories told about him in
the vicinity of his Office at Twenty-sixth
street and Broadway are scarcely credi-
BILE, in view Of the enormous wealth of
the present head of the Astor family in
America. The general idea of hundred
millionaire is that when he gets shaved
at public barber shop he gives the
barber tip Mr.. Astor, however, is not
misled by any false idea of pride.
Hence, when he goes into one of the bar
Der shops in the hotels near his Office
the boy is slow to assist him off with his
coat, and the BARRIERS glance at him in
differently. On one occasion when his
hat had blown off in the street and be-
come stained with mud, Mr.. Astor al
lowed the boy to clean it up thoroughly
with alcohol and soap and then thanked
the boy for his trouble. He was poorer
only in thanks.
He seldom eats in restaurants, though
his cousin. William Waldorf Astor,
nearly always truc-nIs- runcn AT Dei1nollI-
co.'s when he was an American. john
Jacob Astor's tip, when he gives one,
usually startles a Delmonico waiter
something that large tip has never yet
accomplished. Mr.. Astor is tall, thin
and rather amiable in manner. he
reads the Italian, German and English
papers, apparently with equal facility
and he is nearly always alone. 1t seems
incredible of the man that he should be
charry of his tips because he wishes to
save money, for it is known that he en-
tertains literally on his yacht and in the
country, and he has donated large sums
TO charity. 1t may be that ne objects
to tips on principle. 1t is certain that
he does net practice tipping in any form
whateyer.-NewY York Sun.

,1nmb,ipr Lectures on Science.


Nothing can surpass the patience OF
the British audience at certain of these
lectures. We have been present on one
such occasion when distinguished,
but perfectly unintelligible, member OF
the royal society engrossed the attention
of about 900 ladies and gentlemen from
s O'Clock until TO- What he was say
ing no one knew. He mumbled on unre-
,nittingly, and the company loudly APP
plauded him in the intervals, when he
drew breath for a fresh lease OF lnco-
herence. But he held a long rod in his
hand. and periodically he raised it and
pointed at an enigmatic agglomeratlon
of lines, which were believed to be an
illustration. This of itself alone would
have satisfied his audience, coupled, OF
course with the spectacle of his own re-
spectacle person. And when the lee
ture was over and the secretary comph-
mented the old gentleman on his most
instructive discourse there was rush
of eager seconders of the resolution and
the general public streamed out, yawn-
ing and happy. This gentleman re,
ceived 25 guineas for his effort, and II

tafking about. -London Globe.

Rock Island Trainmen Defy the Town Offs
GERS and Refuse to Slow Up.
The city officials of South Enid, in the
Cherokee strip, are making life burden
some to Rock Island trainmen. George
Davis, a Missouri Pacific official, who re-
turned here today, tells u remarkable
story about the two Ends and the trou-
BILE Rock Island trainmcn experience in
getting their trains through the south
town. South Enid is the town established
by the government, while North Enid, a
mile or SO away, is Cherokee allotment
town, in which the Rock Island has an
interest. There is depot at North Enid
where the trains stop. Passengers for
South Enid disembark there and go the
balance of the way in hacks,
South Enid Is a booming town, and
its legislators, full of their new power,
make ordinances to cover all the eXigen-
cies of life in brand new town. They
have been greatly worried at the lack of
proper. railroad facilities, and to move
the company they recently passed an or
dinance compelling it to run its trains
through the town at speed not greater
than four miles an hour under penalty
of fine not less than 81 900 for each Of
Tense.
In describing the condition of things
at South Enid, Davis said: cat the out
skirts Of the town the authorities have
stationed q man with flag, and when a
train approaches he lowers the flag and
a man at the Other end of the town sets
his stop watch and times the train. Be
fore starting his train through the town
the engineer cuts off the airbrakes, and
the company has an officer on every plat
form to prevent the townspeople from
jumping on the train and setting the
handbrakes Four officers with stars
affixed to their coats board every train
as 1t goes through town in an endeavor
to serve papers on the conductor while
he is within the city limits.
Before the train gets within the town
limits, however, the conductor always
gets in the express car and is protected
by the express messengers with their
winchesters from any interference from
the men with the papers. The company
has informed the conductors that if any
of them are arrested the company will
stand by them and see that they do not
languish too long in the calaboose. The
calaboose at South Enid is frail struc-
ture that fairly strong boy could break
out of and would not confine a railroad
man very long were it not for the fact
that sunk in the dirt floor is big log to
which malefactors are chained. 1t is
difficult to predict what the outcome
will be should the town legislators of
South Enid succeed in corralling Rock
Island railroad trainman.-Topeka Dis

rhe Danrer Of rr,rial wounds.

A medical paper commits itself to
the statement that many lives are lost
each year in consequence Of the lack of
a little common sense respecting simple
cuts or wounds of the hands or other
parts. Several cases have been record
ed of inquests relating to persons who
have died from blood poisoning arising
from small cuts on the hands. The his
tory in all of these cases varies but lit
tie, and it is practically the same. A
man, for example, while working at his
trade, or even while carrying out the
simple detail of cutting a piece of
bread, receives a small cut on the hand.
The injury is so trivial that anything is
considered good enough with which 10
stop the bleeding, and this end having
been attained no more is thought Of it.
The small wound is left to take care of
itself and is exposed to all sorts of filth
mess and sources OF infection.
By good luck nothing may happen.
but the public would do we'll to bear in
mind that from the most trivial injury
to the skin acute septicemia may sup
ervene and may rapidly be followed by
a fatal termination. By thorough at
tention to cleanliness the untoward con-
SEQUENCES of a wound liable to become
infected can be effectually prevented.
On the other hand, when the septcamlc
attack has declared itself, as rule
little can be done by the surgeon to
stem the virulence with which 1t de-
velops. 1t should therefore be borne
in mind that so long as wounds, how
ever small, remain unhealed, the FISK
of contracting blood poisoning will al
ways be present.

The Dandelion Road.

A certain railroad in the west is very
much in need of an equipment of seythes,
mowers and the like. In the proper sea-
son dandelions grow in such profusion
on its right of way that the passing train
mats them down on the rails and the
moisture pressed out, which is very ole
aginous, causes the wheels to slip badly

the train and walk to their destination

public as the "Dandelion road" an

Voice In Public Affairs.
The report current some time ago
that the Prince of Monaco intended to
resign as head of the greatest gambling
state in the world and devote himself
to the pursuit OF science, his favorlte
pastime, has apparently proved to be
unfounded. He earns his money too
easily In his present place and evident
" has little intontion either Of giving 1t
up or Of driving the heads of the gam
bling society from his dolninions.
Monaco, says the Statsbuerger
Zeitung, has 1000 inhabitants. In
1914 Talleyrand wrote in the diplo-
matte act which was to regulate the
conditions of all Europe, And the
Prince of Monaco returns to his states. ;
In 1915 it was further decided that the
existing relations between France and
Monaco should cease and that thence
forth the king Of Sardinia was to play
the part in the principally formerly
played by the house of Bourbon. Then
in 1860 Monaco exchanged the Italian
protectorate for the French protector
ate, and maintained its privilege-de-
spite the protests of the public press
and the powers-of giving an asylum
to professional gamblers and spend
thrifts in its gambling hells, because
France did not wish to interfere in
the internal affairs of Monaco.
IAN idea of what colossal sums Of
money are lost in Monaco can be gath
cred from the last report of the 'Societe
Anonyme DIES Bains de Mer ct du Cercle
DIES strangers, the gambling society.
The gains last year amounted to more
than 80, 600, 600 francs. The capital of
the company is 80, 600, 900 francs. For
each of the last six years the company
has set aside reserve fund Of 1,000,-
600 francs. In 1913 This reserve fund
will amount to as much as the capital.
The Prince of Monaco, who married a
Hebrew lady, receives a yearly allow
ance Of 1880, 900 francs. In addition
to this, the company pays all the gov
ernment expenses Of the principality,
attends to the cleaning of the streets
and provides the waterworks and light
ing of the public thoroughfares. The
public has free schools and has no taxes
or other levies to pay. but it has also
nothing to say regarding public affairs.
The society pays $50, 600 francs an
nually to the theater, the public or
chestra costs as much more, and the
officials of the society, including over 100
croupiers, cost annually over 1900
600 francs. To the press the society
pays 500, 600 francs. Among the reg
ular expenses are the OUTLAWS for remov-
ing unhappy victims of the games. The
total expenses of the company amount
yearly to IL, 500, 600 francs. ="

There was recently found in an an
Gent oyster bank on the Sabine river,
Just below this point, a well preserved
Indian idol. The image was nearly four
feet high and was of d three headed
man. with the scales of a turtle cover
ing the entire body, but with the feet
and claws of panther. The idol is
hollow and contained the skeleton of a
young child, in an upright position, the
head fitting into that of the god.
Whether the child was thus sacrificed
to the god or the image merely used as
a repository of the dead body cannot
be decided. The carving on the idol
showed degree of skill uncommon
among the Indians as existing now or
as found here by the early settlers, and
as the banks of this vicinity were evil
IDENTIFY erected by people antedating
these it is probable that the image was
of their religion also. 1t is of stone
and is composed of four or five pieces
neatly cemented together with sub
stance not recognized by any mason who
has seen II.
The union of the several stones en-
ployed in it is so cunningly done that
only close examination reveals it at
all. The eyes are of agate and cut with
the skill of 6 finished lapidary, and by
some continuance are so arranged as to
move in the head from side to side, and
to close by the shutting down of lids of
silver. The panther claws are also of
silver, and the feet are of obsidian high
ly polished.

nign expression, while another grins
maliciously and the third frowns heav-
lily and shows clinched teeth of obsid-
