HIS FACE WAS HIS FORTUNE.
The CgIiest Man in Missouri Gets Out of Trouble in an Un expected Manner.

The UgIiest Man in Missouri Gets Out of
 Trouble in an Un expected Manner.
 On the southern edge of Phelps county lives Scott SwartZlander, who is considered the ugliest man in Mis- souri, and there are some of his neigh bors who will bet his equal cannot be produced from any quarter. Swartz- lander, who is thirty years old, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, has white hair, eyes like a Chinaman, no eyebrows, a nose of abnormal prOpor- tions, which lops oyer almost to his cheek bone, and is ornamented at the end with beautiful comic bulb. He is lanl1 and tall, and there are numer- ous other in1perfections that add to this picture of general and particular ugliness. Swartzlander was arrested about a year ago for cutting timber on government lands in Pulaski county, and when his trial came up at Spring field before the United States court the prisoner was promptly arraigned. While the district attorney was read ing the judge said, addressing the dis trict attorney: You may enter nollc prosequi in tl2e prisoners case. After a careful scrutiny of his physiognomy.I am convinced that any man who is compelled to carry that face is pun ished quite enough for the amount of lumber which he is charged with hav- ing unlawfully taken from government lands. You are discharged, MT. Swartz lander. Go as quickly as you can, and don't forget to take your face with you.2
 Undoubtedly this decision of the learned and discriminating judge at Springfield, Mo, entities Scott Swartz- lander to the undisputed title; ''The Ugliest Man in Missouri.''

TALK THE "JARGON."
Mixed Tcngucs That German Russo-Po-
 fish Immigrants Speak.

Mixed Tcngucs That German Russo-Po-
 fish Immigrants Speak.
 ''He talks the Jargon'' is remark often made by a despairing interpreter when he attempts to translate the lan- guage of an east side witness, says the Philadelphia Press. "The jargon" is recognized term for dialect so com mon that it is distinguished by the definite article from all the other numerous jargOns known in the city. It is spoken by Hebrews from Poland and Russia. It consists mainly of an imperfect German, with occasional Hebrew or Polish words. Those who have studied it's history say that those who speak it are descended from He brews who formerly lived in Germany, and spoke the German tongue.
 When they migrated to Poland they preserved among themselves, as far as possible, the German language. It be- came somewhat corrupted, but in the main was the language spoken by those who originally left Germany. The language of Germany itself be- came changel in time, and now there is considerable difference between the words spoken by the Polish descend ants of the German Hebrew and those spoken by educated Germans.
 The difference is said to be slight when few corruptions of the original tongue are known. Educated Ger mans, however, cannot understand at first the peculiar Polish-Hebrew style. It is now very common in many parts of the great cast side, and shopkeep- CTS there have to learn, not only Ger man, but also ''the jargon' of the i'm migrants from Poland and Russia.

MisDIREcTED EFFORTS.
The Dutlful Intentions of Conscientious
 Male Emu.

The museum of natural history at South Kensington, England, has lately received the skin of very handsome emu, the last of pair of these strange Australian birds which had been kept as pets for more than twenty-five years by clergyman of Essex. The death of the first bird. female, left it's mate ve:y desolate, and. as often happens in such eases, he sickened and seemed likely to die.
 His mistress carried him dainties to tempt his appetite, and also daily jar of water Again and again this jar disappeared, and the lady was much ineensed against the unknown person who made himself thus troublesome.
 Finally the emu retired to his shed, folded his long legs and refused utter ly to come ont, until his master, in the hope that the sunshine might even yet do him some good. took him up bodily to carry him out. Then the mystery was solved. Under the bird were all the missing galipots!
 The conscientious emu, feeling that he ought to be fulfilling his destiny by matching some eggs, and having no wife to lay for him, had seized upon these smooth round jars as the most promising substitutes to be had. and perhaps would have perished in the at tempt to hatch them if his master had not broken him up."

CLIMAX OF A GREAT EMPIRE.
Great Britain Has Now Probably Reached
 the Limit of Her ExransIen.


 The campaign which is now closing in the country of the BIatabeles, the strongest native people in South Africa, is evidently to end in confirm ing the sovereignty of England over wide region hitherto only nominally included in the British empire There may, says the Cleveland Leader, be a historical interest attached to this event far wider th:n any business or social changes in South Africa can be felt. It is quite possible that the most extensive empire which the world has ever known is at its stage of greatest expansion. The regions in America, Asia, Africa, Oceanics and Europe which are considered British territory embrace about twelve million two hundred thousand square miles, or one fourth of the land surface of globe. Russia and China together do not pos sess a much larger part of the earth. The British empire has been growing very fast lately by the acquisition of enormous areas during the partition oi Africa. Now. however, the limit must be about reached. There is com para. lively little territory tG seize in Africa, which can fall into the grasp of Eng land. On the other hand, the time draws nearer and nearer when enor- nous losses must be sustained. Can ada will surely come under the stars and stripes. The change is only a mat ter of time. Australia will as inevi- tably become independent. That breaking of existing relations is like wise merely aquestion of years. About eight million square miles of land and lakes and arms of the sea are slowly slipping from under the paws of the British lion. India, too, will go some day, but that loss will probably come much farther in the future. Whatever great changes there may be in the next few decades are pretty sure, at any rate, to cut down the size of the worlds most prodigious empire, past and present.

JUST TIE THING.
Dammins the Mississippi River with
 Woven Willow.


 The willows which grow along the shores of the Mississippi river, says the Naverly Magazine, are Of no use in the arts. but when it comes to building dam the engineers find nothing that fills the bill half as we'll as the humble willow. It linCp the shores and can be easily reached from the barges whereon it is transported, and it is so soft that it is easily cut and handled. It is woven into a great, long, continuous mat. One end of this is anchored to the shore on one side Of the chute that is to be damned, and the process of weaving is thence carried on straight across the stretch of water on pecu- Harly-shaped boat called a grasshop- per. AS fast aS the mat is woven on the grasshopper it slides into the water at the lower end of the inclined weav- ing rack, ard it is laden with rocks and carried straight to the bottom, and this is continued until the opposite shore is reached. The mat is then cov- cred to the proper depth, twelve to if teen inches, with rock, and then an other mat, made in the same way, is woven and laid down on top Of the first and similarly weighted down, and this work is continued till the dam has risen as high as it is intended to stand the finishing, being always heavy coating of rock that covers the willow and all. The willow, always covered with water and the mud that inevita ply lodges among the rocks of the dam, |, kept sealed airtight and of course does not decay. It binds the rocks to- gether and prevents the dam being showed out of place by ice or disturbed by the pressure of the current at high water. It is good for no other purpose save to hold shore that is washing away with ;ts roots, and for dam con- struction it is superlatively the thing.

A Profitable Dream.

Tunis must be capital place for those who live and thrive op the credu1- ity of their fellowmen. It is said that a lady there recently announced that she had dream, which she considered as a Divine revelation, that whoever drank the water of her cistern would not be liable to take the cholera, and she offered to furnish the water at a penny drink. The people thronged to taste the water, and in two days more than twenty thousand persons had paid their pennies, and imagined that they had obtained immunity from the dread disease.
