LITERARY NOTES.

Albert Lynch, whose work is becom.
ing SO much more generally known to
Americans through his drawings in
Scribner's Magazine and his cover de-
signs for the Ladies' Home Journal, is
a Peruvian by birth, but of English
parentage. He is only thirty three
years of age, and of extremely retiring
disposition. He is unmarried and lives
in Paris. The young artist commands
the highest prices for his work, his
smallest water color paintings readily
selling for 5000 to 5000 each. In 1893
he received the Salons first prize for
his beautiful panel of Spring" show
ing single figure. This picture won
the admiration of the French art critics
and the public to such an unusual de-
gree that the painting was sold for
fabulous sum to private Paris buyer.
Recently the Ladies' Home Journal
acquired all publication rights to this
painting, and it will serve as one of
the cover designs for that magazine.
The next issue of the Journal will also
have design by Lynch, portraying
his conception of a woman s ideal cos
tune. A succession of other cover de-
signs by Lynch will follow these two.

A Philatellst's Interest In War.

AS an example of the exceedingly di
verse interests thar may depend upon
the success of the Japanese arms we
quote the following letter received by
Marshal Yamagata:
General-I am an ordinary schoolboy
scarcely 8 years old. I stay in Bern.
In the atlas Switzerland is smaller
than Japan. l am very glad you have
met your enemies as my forefathefs
met theirs and that the brave general
has always won. 1t is to be hoped that
you will conquer the great Chinese en-
pire and pull down the great wall that
surrounds it. l believe this wall is to
blame for my not having any Chinese
stamps in my album yet. I hear you
are kind man. Will you be so good
as to send me some Chinese stamps
which you are sure to find among the
bootyp
The marshal was of course much
amused at the letter, and although he
has not yet had time to pull down the
great wall he has made such arrange
ments that it shall no longer stand in
the way of his syouthful correspondent s
ami Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

Facts About the Forest King.

The tongue of lion is so rough that
a close look at it will almost take the
skin off the locker. 1t is not safe to
allow lion to lick your hand, for if
he licked the skin off and got taste of
the underlying blood, supposing it to
be there, he would want the hand and
everything adjoining thereto. Moth
ing more perfect in modern machinery
exists than the mechanism by which
lion works his claws. He has five
toes on each of his forefeet and four on
each of his hind feet. Each toe has q
claw. Nothing about u lion is without
reason, and the reason he has more
toes and claws on his fore than on his
hind feet is that he has more use for
them. If this were not so the majority
would be the other way. The lion is
nocturnal by choice. He has no par
ticular objection to daylight, but likes
to spend it in the bosom of his family,
or at least adjacent to it. 1t should
not be supposed that because he roams
about at night he neglects his family.
He roams in order to fill the family
larder. He kills to eat, not for amuse.
ment. He never bothers small game
80 long as there is big game within
reach. When feeling fit he can take
an OK in his mouth and jump fences
and bitches like professional steeple.

small square sail upon his vessel the
day they left the mouth of the river,
and derived much assistance from it.
They were obliged to keep near the
shore, in a great measure, to get the
vessel along, and very often by the as

the bank. They were apprehensive
that should the Indians discover their
situation, few of them might defeat

Treasures Of the Arctics.

In 1909 Count Romanzoff sent M.
Hedenstrom to explore the New Siber-
ian islands, fitting him out at his own
expense. Hedenstrom reached Laikoff's 3
first island, and was amazed at the
prodigious stores of fossil ivory it con
tanned; for although the ivory hunters
had forty years regularly carried it
away each year large quantities of
ivory from the island, the supply Of
ivory in it appeared to be not in the
least diminished.
In about half mile Hedenstrom saw
ten tusks of eleuhants sticking up in
the sand and gravel, and large sand
bank on the west coast of the island
was always covered with elephants
tusks after gale, leading him to hope
that there was an endless amount of
ivory under the sea. Hedenstrom and
Sannikoff went on to Kotelnoi and New
Siberia, and they found the hills in the
former island absolutely covered with
the bones, tusks and teeth of elephants,
rhinoceroses and buffaloes, which must
have lived there in countless numbers,
although the island is now an icy will
derness, without the slightest vegeta-
ton.
They also found that in New Siberia
the most eastern of the islands-the
quantity of mammoth ivory was still
more abundant, and in 1909 Sannikoff
brought away 10000 pounds of fossil
ivory from New Siberia alone. Cham

Pompeii, the city of ruins, lying before
you with Vesuvius in the distance,

astonishment as closer inspection of

STRANGE SUPERsTITIONS.
Peculiar Beliefs still Entertained In I his
Enlightened Age.

For instance, during dog days, Satan
is said to enter all snakes, which is the
reason that snakes are blind for that
period. If one cuts himself then, the
wound is much harder to heal than at
other times. To walk DER a grave is
to invite sickness; to repeat the act may
render it fatal. Warts, moles, corns,
distemper in dogs and horses, and cer-
tain kinds of crop failure, may be
charmed away by certain specially
gifted persons, generally old men or
women.
Each sign of the zodiac represents
some occult influence over animal or
vegetable life; for instance, when the
Sign is in the heart, "stock should not
be marked or branded, nor any surgical
operation undertaken; neither should
trees, shrubs nor vegetables be trans
planted. If the sign is in the head,
cattle, hogs or sheep must not be killed,
as the meat is said to "crazy," and
correspondingly hard to preserve.
The weather during the first twelve
days of the year is, consecutively, a
fair kind of weather that will prevail
during each month of that year. For
dog to howl three nights in succession,
signifies great disaster to its owner
within the year. To move cat brings
bad luck to the mover. In order to
cure fits, repeat the words used by
Christ to the man possessed of devil.
This must be done, however, only when
the moon is full. The moon, in slang,
parlance, is worked for all it is worth,
as regards its effects upon terrestrial
objects.
And If anyone venture to doubt the
efficacy of these bugaboo suggestions,
their defenders usually take refuge in
some such reply as:
"Wal, dunno how it is, nor why it
is; but everyone lows hits SO, md l
reckon it must shorely be that way"
Against this invulnerable sense of ir-
responsibility reason batters in yain.-

How the Newspaper Man Worked for
the Orphans, Home.

The Squedunk Squealer having made
a success of its woman's edition and
won considerable popularity and ad-
vertising thereby the Squedunk Scorch-
er decided to outdo it, The usual pre-
liminaries were gone through. The
management pledged the entire profits
of the issue to the Orphans Home, and
a staff of 366 women was secured to do
the work. The edition was advertised
four weeks in advance as something
destined to put the Squealer's edition
entirely in the shade.
The 1855 women reporters and editors
took two weeks to write the mammoth
paper. When it finally appeared it
was wonder. The Squealer was
nowhere. The Scorcher devoted the
two weeks following the publication OF
the special edition to praisiug itself
and its women staff for its enterprise.
Then the Orphans Home concluded
that it was about time to receive the
enormous profits promised it from the
sale. A committee was sent around to
the Scorcher Office to drop gentle
hint. The committee was affably re.
ceived.
"Oh; yes; was about to attend to
that" said the proprietor.
Turning to his desk he hastily drew
up the following:

JILKING'S AUTOMATIC LICKER.
Col. Calllper's Account Of a Somewhat
Remarkable Invention.

The most curious labor saving de.
vice ever heard Of" said Col. Cal.
iiper, was an automatic Ticker that
was invented by school teacher
named Socrates Jilkins, who was well
known at one time some years ago in
Storkville Center, VT, and in that vi
cinity. Mr.. Jilkins was as gentle heart.
ed man as ever lived, but he beliyed
in whipping, and he never failed to
whip the boys W hen he thought thew
deserved it; in fact. I'm not sure but
what he whipped them rather oftener
than that, in order to keep himself
square with his conscience.
ut was pretty big school and a
pretty lively lot Of boys, and licken'
EN- took up good deal of Socrates
time. So he invented this automa attic

trivance and at the same time extreme.
ly simple. 1t was just wooden post
with clockwork inside of it near the
top to turn horizontal spindle which
projected out beyond the side of the
post. To the outer end of this spindle
was attached, at right angles, a ruler
or rattan which, when the olockwork
was in motion, whirled around in a
vertical plane; it was something like
a small single armed windmill.
Mr.. Jilkins set this post up in one
corner OF the platform and when a boy
was to be licked he would call him,
wind up the Ticker, stand the boy at
such distance that at every reyolu.
ton it made the ruler would come
down on the boys extended hand, and
when he had got it nicely started Mr..
Jilkins would 60 back to the other side
OF the platform and go on with his
teaching, You can easily see what a
great saving of time this was.
But Mr.. Jilkins, ingenious as he
was, had overlooked one thing: he had
failed to provide the machine with an
adequate governor. He had figured
out that the resistance offered at regu.
larly recurring intervals by the hand
OF the boy would be sufficient to keep
the machine from running too fast,
and SO 1t was as long as the machine
was novelty; but after that, when
Mr.. Jilkins had gone over to the other
side of the platform, the boy being
whipped would as likely as not take
his hand out Of line, and then the
lcker would race, as screw propeller
sometimes does when it is lifted out of
water, and it wasn't long before the
Ticker had racked itself out of working
order. Mr.. Jilkins fixed it once, but
it soon got out of repair again, and
then he went back to the old way.
But for years after that the post of
the automatic Ticker still stood on the
platform: its arm was removed, but

In the Spring

Nearly everybody needs a good medi-
cine. The impurities which have ac-
cumulated in the blood during the cold
months must be expelled, or when the
mild days come and the effect of the
bracing air is lost, the body is liable to
be overcome by debility or some seri-
GUS disease. The remarkable success
achieved by Hoods Sarsaparilla, and
the MANY words Of praise it has re-
ceived, make 1t worthy your confidence.
