curioSlties unless one has a special room
devoted to such purposes, and they ought
to be kept there instead of in the draw
ing room or parlOrS. A cabinet with
shelves might be placed in either of
these rooms and filled with articles ap-
propriate to the apartment. But how
often do we find every sort of curio from
the horrible and grotesque to the real
istic and almost indecent, arranged in
reception and family rooms. Of course,
where space is limited, one must do the
best one can; but, all the same, there are
many bits of bric-a-brac that would be
much more agreeable if less prominently
exhibited.
To tumble Indian, Chinese, japanese
and all manner of articles into one place
in such close proximity that they con-
tinually elbow each other is like coloniz-
ing the different sorts of people under the
same roof and compelling them to live
there whether they will or no. The in
congruity, after a time, becomes painful,
and it would seem as though, in their
own way, the articles would quarrel with
each other as violently as would the
human specimens of the same species,
were they thus crowded in together.
''And what is true of bric-a-brac is
equally true of furniture. The fancy
for odd pieces sometimes runs absolutely
riot, and brings about the collection of

RACE EQUALITY IN PRISON.
At Fort Smith the Criminals Have No

At Fort Smith the Criminals Have No

1t is mistaken idea that many have

are all Indians. The fact is they are

all sections of this country and some

they were distributed through the coun-
try, among the states were Virginia,
California, South Carolina, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Georgia, Pennsylvania and
others. The foreign countries were Eng.
land, Italy, Poland and Wales.
Besides whites and Indians there are
many negroes among the prisoners, and
if there is an example of race equality
anywhere on earth it is found in the
corridors of this Jail. The prisoners
have separate cells, but are thrown to-

Nisus slept, and the princess slowly
approached his couch. How noble he
looked, but the girl steeled her heart
against him!
A moment later the dark figure fed
down the corriC rs as it had come, but
a CLEAN of triumph shone from the eyes,
and love and victory struggled for mas
terry in the cour tenance. And the King
slept on, but the purple lock had left his
head forever!
So Scylla went through the dark city
and left it behind her as she passed
the wall through secret gate. Swiftly
she entered the camp of the enemy and
demanded to see King MlnoS.
When the King beheld her he thought
so lovely a woman had never before
walked the earth, but when, holding out
the purple lock, she said that she gave
up her city, her father, herself, he
spurned her from him.
''Shall Crete" he cried, "where Jove
himself was Graded, be polluted by this
monster? Infamous woman, begone, and
may neither land nor sea afford thee a
resting place.
'Alasn' cried Scylla, ''for thee have /
given up everything! Aye, | am deserv-
ing of death, but thy hand should not
be the one to deal the blow!"
But Minos would have nothing to do
with her, and the next morning, giving
orders that equitable terms should be
allowed to the vanquished city, he sailed
away with his feet.
AS the ships were departing Scylla
jumped into the sea, and, grasping the
rudder of the vessel that conveyed Mi
nos, was carried along with it till an
eagle, into which her father had been
changed, darted down and pecked at her
with it's beak and claws. Scylla cried
for mercy, and some plying deity

The Campaign Orator was Promptly
Taken Up by His Opponent.
A few years ago plain country doctor
and a Mr.. May, who was fond of jew
elry, and wore valuable diamond stud
in his shirt bosom, were running for
the Legislature in one of our counties.
The race was close and hot. At one
speaking the doctor made the following
fierce and dangerous thrust at his oppo-
nent: ''Fellow citizens, don't you want
an honest man in the Legislature? Of
course you do. Now, what sort of q
man is my opponent? Why, gentlemen,
look at that magnificent diamond he
wears It is almost as big and bright
as the headlight of locomotive. Your
eyes can hardly stand it's glare. 1t is
worth hundreds maybe thousands of
dollars. At what valuation do you sup
pose he has put it for taxation in his
return to the state assessor? Why, at
the pitiful sum of $2O!'' The crowd
yelled for the doctor. Three days later
the two met again in joint debate.
Again the doctor took up his telling
theme and held forth eloquently and
passionately in denunciation of dishon-
esty and diamonds and false assessments
and then he again told of Mays false
return to the assessor. 'Look at that
gorgeous pin, gentlemen! My eyes. can
hardly endure its dazzling rays. Solo

"Would you give 500 for it, doctor?'
''Of course would.
"Well, you can have it for that"
'All right" said the doctor, and he
burriedly counted out the money and
took the pin. Then May rose to speak,
and the crowd cheered him. He was
undoubtedly "game" and honest. He
was willing to take what he said the pin
was worth. He was elected. A week
after the election he called Oh the doctor
and said: doctor, [ don't want to rob
you of your money. Here's your. $50.

How a Man Cured Himself of Paralysis in
Japan.
The liveliest passenger on board the
steamship City Of Picking was Humphrey
Kendrick of Los Angeles. When the tug
Millen Grifiths came alongside the Mail
dock with the five passengers from the
Picking in her cabin, Kendrick bounded
out and was on the pier in twlnkllng,
not waiting for a gangplank. He Had
just returned from Japan, country that
he loves, because few years ago it COM
pletely cured him of paralysis when that
disease had disabled him to such an ex-
tent that he was forced to walk on
crutches.
When Kendrick found that he had lost
control of his limbs he determined to
spend all the money he had to get relief;
It was easy enough to tell what had
brought the paralysis upon him, for the
first stroke came soon after he had pad
tumble on horseback. The animal fell in
such way as to catch Kendrick squarely
beneath it, severely wrenching and strain
ing his spine. The wonder was that his
back was not broken. It was much more
difficult to tell what would cure him.
Hundreds of doctors tried in vain.
Kendrick found that he was much bet
ter in hot weather, and this led him to go
to the Hawaiian islands, where the
weather was much warmer all the year
round. He was so much better there
when it was hot that he concluded to go
to still warmer place. Somebody told
him that the south coast of Japan in sum-
mer was the hottest place not ruled by
Pluto. He concluded to go there.
For many months during that hottest

for days at time he would lie positively

kept getting better. Then he took to

and Ikendrick. stark naked, would ride

was almost too hot for the beast. but
Kendrick did not seem to mind it.

to overlook little lapses of this kind. and

To supersede Castiron.

Quite an interesting discovery is re-
ported-namely, a new process for i'm
proving castings-the name of ferrous
steel being applied to the same. It is
punched out cold from the top of an
ordinary coal range, and is so ductile
that a strip one and one-half inches wide
and one-eighth of an inch thick and
twelve inches long can be wound around
a two-inch gas pipe without breaking;
at the same time, it is of such tensile
strength that half-inch square bar,
twelve inches long, bearing the points,
will carry a load of 500 pounds without
fracture. 1t is made from a mixture of
60 per cent. common scrap and 40 per
cent. of No. pig iron, the process being
to inject steam jet into the tuyers at
cupola, which forms another element in
combustion, hydrogen. gas, giving out
great heat, forming black oxide of iron
on the iron at the point of charge, as it
becomes red, magnetic oxide, and is so
closely coherent and adherent that the
absorption of sulphur from the coke is
entirely prevented on it's course down
through the furnace. Concerning the
new substance, which, it is claimed, will
universally supersede common castiron,
the advantages named are that the mol
ten metal is much more fluid and almost
free from Stag or dross, and gives cast
ing of much smoother surface with a
steely appearance, the process also saw
ing fully 10 per cent. in fuel.-New York

Bees May be Busy, but they steal.

The busy bees have been held up to
lazy mortals as a pattern, but, while they
may improve each shining hour, and
gather honey all the day from every
opening flower, they are not exempt
from the weakness Of mortals in helping
themselves to the "honey" accumulated
by other if a favorable opportunity Of
fers The cool rains short time since
kept the bees at home for several days,
and in the meantime a large lot of honey
in the comb was received by dealers from
other parts of the state. The sunshine
of the past day or two tempted the little
workers out, and the first thing they
made for was the honey piled up in the
stores, and they labored assiduously, and
improved each shining hour, in ripping
the seals off the combs of honey and
stealing the. delicious contents, without
regard to the rights of owners. Their
rayages were so serious, and their pres
ence in large numbers such nuisance,
that it was necessary to place the honey
in glass cases, where the bees could not
get at it. Now the busy little fellows
have to hunt for late flowers, and collect
material and manufacture their own hon
ey-Portland Oregonian.
