D1RTIEST PEOPLE ON EARTH.
They Have Recently Been Discovered
by an Explorer in Caucasus.

Iner rave recently Deem discovered
by an Explorer in Caucasus.
The dirtiest people in the world
have recently been discovered by an
explorer in the Caucasus, says the
New York Mercury. They live in an
inaccessible mountain range between
the Black sea and the Caspian, their
village being 50 snugly hidden away
that no government has yet been
able to reach them AS they were
$500 years ago so they are to this
day. Seen from without there is
certain picturesqueness about a
Svanetian Village, although it mere
ly consists of miserable stone novels
without any attempt at form or
adornment. Within, however, the
houses are inconceivably filthy. They
are filled with rags, vermin and dirt
of every description They possess
no fireplace or chimney All the
cooking, in fact, is done over hole
scooped out in the middle of the
floor
In these houses men, women and
children are huddled together; dur
ing the long winter months they are
shut up for days at a time, the cattle
often sharing their quarters. Every
aperture has to be closed on account
of the cold. The long imprisonment
is, perhaps, the chief cause of the deg
radiation of the people; horrible dis
eases result from it, which are ag-
gravated by an abnormal consump-
ton of arrack, the strong distilled
drink of the Asiatics. Besides being
the dirtiest they are probably the
LATEST people on earth. 1t is an in
variable rule to take four days a
week holiday, with saints days as
extras. Since they have adopted the
holidays of every other country with
which they have come in contact, it
is not surprising that the men find
little time for work.
Farming, bee culture and cattle
breeding are the only industries of
these lazy people; throughout their
territory there is not single manu-
featured article, the children marry
while very young, they attend no
school, and, lastly, they have no
money.

FLOWERS ON THE TABLE.
Not a Luxury, But an inexpensive
T.. Means of Refinement.

Means of Refinement.
Wisdom had her dwelling in the
heart of the woman who economical
on cake in order that the table might
never lack a green or towering
centerpiece. If she had dispensed
with even a more vital necessity than
cake her course would have been
justified.
When one has fern or bunch of
pinks in the middle of ones dining
table certain other things follow of
necessity. Clean napery is one of
these. One would have to be abso-
lutely without the sense of the ap-
propriate to place fresh, fragrant
centerpiece on a soiled tablecloth, or
to use rumpled napkins with flowers
shaking their heads disapprovingly
across the dinner board. Tarnished
silver and dimmed glass are also too
incongruous to be thought of on the
same table with bright blossoms.
The whole dining room takes its tone
from the centerpiece and must live
up to its standard of daintiless.
Even table manners have been known
to improve under the influence Of
maiden-hair fern.
There is no excuse for the absence
of such table decoration. A potted
plant that will last four months with
proper care may be bought for so or
IS cents. A bunch of mignonette or
of pinks, that will last a week if they
are clipped and freshened each day,
costs a quarter. A single long
stemmed dewy rose in a slender glass
vase is thing of beauty, which 10
or 20 cents will buy.

WAR TIME FRIENDS.

OiBbOS"
Y "Jack" Schuyler is dead.
Thus ends one of the funniest
seuds I have ever heard of.
On my way into the lumber region
of Pennsylvania some years ago en-
countered Col. "Tom" Pickert, who
asked my destination. The colonel
is one of the big men-physically, So
cially and financially-of Pottsville.
You'll make Lockhaven your
headquarter, | suppose?" he said,
when / had told him of my projected
trip. well, go to the Fallon house,
kept by Jack Schuyler, friend of
mine, good fellow, but peculiar in one
respect-he's the worst liar l ever
met. Just register from Pottsville
and he'll do the rest
| urged the colonel to bell me more
of this prospective host.
''Well, you see, we belonged to
the same cavalry regiment in the
army. Looked like each other a
little, the boys used to say. He was
major and ! Northumberland. |
never led charge or had brush
with the enemy, or conducted for
aging party, or, or-in fact, never
did anything worth mentioning but
Jack claimed the credit, and, on
the strength of our resemblance,
more than half the time he got it.
Whenever he made blunder was
blamed for it. Good fellow, don't
you know, but a liar"
AS l placed my grip on the counter
at the Fallon house ! noticed that
there really was striking resem-
blance in the man who presided over
the register to Col. TON" Pickert.
Their noses were nodded on the same
heroic lines, their boards were
shaped alike and the same length
and color, and the shaggy, over
hanging eyebrows we're marked fea-
lures in each. In detail and ensemble
they might have been taken for
brothers.
From Pottsville, eh2" he said, as
/ laid aside the pen. Know Tom
Pickertf Queer fellow, amt hef
Worst liar in the state, believe"
THAT SOP" / said. 81 always
thought very well of him"
HE may be changed now" said
the major. II hope he is. Why, we
were in the army together, belonged
to the same regiment. He was
lieutenant-colonel and l was major.
Whenever / took out party on scout
duty, or to conduct an ammunition
train through particularly danger
Gus district, or was particularly
lucky in foraging, the officers of the
other regiments were always in
vited out to hear Tom tell how he
did it. Took all the credit and made
believe it was himself. / was blamed
for all his mistakes. We looked a
little alike then, they used to say.
Toms good fellow, but he often
made me mad by his lies. Do you
ever drink anything2"
Subsequently discovered that at
regimental and other reunions each
took delight in collecting coterie
and pointing at the other as liar.
Then they toasted each other, and,
like big-hearted old veterans, shook
hands to the astonishment of all. It
was "Tom" and "Jack" always.

toya grant cases, Santa Fe county, were

and made parties.

HUNTING BORDER BANDITS
Marshal Hail and His Large Posse
Are still on the Trail of the Separ
POstOfiice Observation-Disclosures
Of the Bandits-Circutt
Formed.

Nothing has been heard to-day from u.
s. Marshal E. L. Hall regarding the ef-
forts of himself and posse to capture the
gang of border bandits in southwestern
New Mexico and farther news is awaited
with the deepest interest.
The boldness of the bandits is some
thing truly remarkable. After escaping
from Skeleton canon, where they were
supposed to be surrounded, and passing
their pursuers at Lordsburg, travelling
ITO miles, undiscovered, the mon came
within few miles of Deming and passed
the night with ranchman. In the morn
ing, they went into town, called at the
postoffice, got their mail, and their pres
encc was not even known by the officers
until they had left in northerly direc-
ton, apparently heading in the direction
of Colorado.
Besides two companies of troops from
Fort Bayard, Marshal Hall is at the head
of pursuing posse Of so men, who have
formed complete circuit, with a radius
of about twenty miles, around Cooks
Peak mountains, sixteen miles north OF
Deming, where the bandits are supposed
to be heading. The marshal, at last ac-
counts, was confident of capturing them.

A War Story.

General Rhodes division had lust
been repulsed by the Federals, occu-
plying strong position on Seminary
Ridge, with frightful slaughter. 1t
looked as though the first day Of Got
tysburg would terminate in defeat
to the Southern army, when General
Hoth arrived with his Tennesseeans
and North Carolinians. General Heth
took in the situation at glance. His
column quickly debouched from the
road in which it had been marched
and deployed into line thousand
yards from the crest of Semetery
Ridge. Grape and canister, solid
shot and shrapnel tore through their
ranks, but the men kept steadily on.
When they arrived within musket
range the carnage was awful. The
Twenty-Sixth North Carolina was in
front. Its commander rode fifty
yards in frontof his men.
Two hundred yards from the en-
emys line the men began to waver.
The Colonel was desperate. Some
thing had to be done. 1t required an
extraordinary effort, but he was equal
to the occasion.
Rising in his stirrups he turned his
face toward his faltering troops
and pointing his sabre toward the en-
envy. ...
