THINGS DRAMATIC.

The State Herald regretted to be called
upon yesterday morning to so seriously
criticise Flagg's Female Ministries, more
especially as the result was the opera
house was closed against the company for
a second performance, which was to have
occurred last night, and the company left
almost stranded on the very eve of
Christmas, when hearts are full of JOY
and Thanksgiving. But when it is re-
membered that it is to the newspaper
the public looks for honest criticisms as
we'll as honest notations of CURRENT
events, from the trial of the criminal to
the preacher in his pulpit-a diary in one
sense in which people of all classes and
of all ages may see pictured the hap
penings of the preceding day, carefully
culled with the view to bettering NOR
ais and supporting a Christian civiliza-
tion-the paper has no apology to offer
for what it did nor remorse of conscience
for the inconvenience incurred, While
the State Herald does not pose as relig-
ious palladium or the supreme dictator
as to the moral acts of this great city,
yet 1t will never shirk its duty as a
household journal to lend its influence IN
protecting the mothers, daughters and
children of this city against any imposi-
tion, of vice against virtue.

Railway Incident,

Professor Lincoln of Brown university,
who died few years ago, used often to re-
Into with CLEO u railroad adventure which
he had in Germany during his last Euro
pcan tour. The party was travelling in ono
OF the little German railway carriages with
the doors at tho sides when the train
stopped Mt station where there was res
taurant.
They were told that tho train would
wait few minutes, and SO, with Amcri-
can independence, Professor Lincoln and
another member of the party stcppod out.
crossed another track and proceeded TO the
station.
This infraction of German regulations
was Mt first unnoticcd, but on tho return
an obstacle was found in the shape of an
other train between them and their car
Tho various railway personages appeared
stolidly Ignorant rs to time tables. Tho
train was too long to go around, the cars
were unprovidcd with our convenient end
platforms and steps and the space beneath
them was mono too ample for cat to go
under. Only one course remaincd-that
was to go over tho train.
This seemed simple matter, as the
German cars arc very small affairs COM
pared with our own, and, moreover, nro
provided with q convenient ladder on each
side for the uso Of tho man who climbs up
and puts the lamps down through a hole
I'm tho roof
Accordingly the start was made, and tbs
feat was about half accomplished before it
was noticed by tho railway officials Then
began great commotion, with violent
gcsticulations and commands to como
down.
But by dint of Professor Lincolns vo-
alterations in German to tho officials to
the effect that coming down on tho farther
side was just rs we'll us TO return to the
station and of soto vocc hints in New
England vernacular to his comradc to keep
on going, the retreat was successfully COW
cred and the railway carriage safely gained

ARIzoNA,s MOUNTAIN PUZZLE.
Is It n Hole Through an Inaccessible Peak |
or Only a Natural Mirror? |


For the last half century the Ameri-
can residents of Tucson, A T., have
been trying to solve mystery in the
shape of what appears to be hole
through mountain peak in plain sight
from the town. In the rarefied air it
looks to DO only short distance away,
when in reality it is at least 40 miles.
The earliest residents noticed the phe-
nomenon, and the only difficulty that lay
In the way Of finding out just what it was
was the fact that it was inaccessible
and when they came anywhere near the
spot tho hole disappeared from sight
In fact, it can only be seen from within
few miles of Tucson, and this has led
many people to believe that it is not q
hole at all
BY the aid Of good marine telescope
the mountain can be brought to within
O few miles, but not near enough to tell
the exact nature of the rock formation.
An astronomical telescope cannot be TO-
cused on it, as the mountain is too near.
A first peep through the glass would
lead one to believe that there was no
mystery about it. The hole appears as
plain as possible, but several days study
of the spot will develop the fact that
the hole does not always look tho
same. Many days when the sky is dark
behind the mountain the hole will ap-
pear brilliant white, like u snowdrift
and on days when the sky is blue it will
often look so dark rs to be almost in
visible. These facts have led many to
think that it is an immense piece Of
mica lying with its polished surface to-
ward the sky and rejecting the cloud
formations Of another part Of tho hori-
ION instead of being tho light seen
through hole. Viewed with the naked
eye the hole simply appears rs q white
spot, but the telescope reveals pine trees
and other details, although very indis-
tinctly.
The range of mountains in which the
strange peak can be seen is known as
the Catalinas, and numerous parties
have made the attempt to climb it, but
all have failed on account of the steep
and rugged precipices in the vicinity.
The peak is high one and can be seen
from any point in the journey toward
1t, but when ten miles out of Tucson tho
hole can no longer be seen, even with
the aid of a glass. This can be explain
ed Oh the mica theory, as a surface of
that material would not reflect ray of
light toward PERSONS eye after they
got out of its angle of projection. San

HARVEST OF THE SEA.
A Peculiar Occupation Followed or tho
Coast of Ireland.

Along the northwest coast of Ireland.
on tho borders of the Atlantic, dwells a
hardy race of men whose chief occupation.
when not engaged in fishing, consists in
tho manufacture of kelp.
This kelp Is OF great commercial I'M
portance, as from 1t Is obtained nearly all
our iodine, body of vast use in medicine.
During the winter months the klein
burners set out In their frail little "cur.
raghs' (small canoelike boats about 10
feet long, made OF canvas), and proceeding
along the coast, I'LL the boats with sen.
weed, from which the kelp is made. In
this they are assisted by the women, who
bareheaded and shoeless, take their turn
regularly at tho oars and ore almost MS ex-
pert at 1t Us tho men.
After storm Is the time selected for
obtaining tho seaweed, as by the force of
tho waves 1t has been torn from its bed
and Is cast in along tho shore In large
quantities.
When tho boats arc laden, the seaweed
Is brought to small creek, and there
placed In heaps out of reach of the tide
From this 1t Is carried In creels on the
backs OF men and women to point far
Their inland, where 1t has to undergo n
process Of drying.
Tho drying consists in exposing 1t to the
sun and wind, and tho better to do this
they have rows of loose stones laid about
30 yards In length and few feet in height
Along the tops of these they scatter tho
seaweed.
Tho drying takes months, so that spring
Is we'll advanced ero it Is ready for burn
Ing. This docs not matter, however. Ms
owing to tho fuel-tho peat, or turf, got
from tho boys at hand-not being yot cut
and dried Tor "win," as it is terIned), it Is
SUNNI er before tho burning in tho kilns
can commence.
The kiln Is deep trench dug in the
ground. Alternate layers of turf and sea-
weed are laid in this till full, and tho
whole is kept burning for about three
weeks, until 1t cakes together In largo
black mass resembling coke, but much
moro solid and heavier. This is tho kep.
1t is then broken into blocks about II
inches square and brought by boat to tho
villages, where it is sold, to DO shipped to
more profitable markets. Boston Post.

LIFE WITH THE CIRCUS.
Incidents Attending the Visit to a Laun-

said retired circus man, "the old man

Do you take any kind of collars at

that had brought it down said that it
was one of the giraffe's collars.

and he swept the cents off the counter
into tho drawer without turning a hair.

Legend and Reality.

Legend tells how Napoleon, while Mos
COW was in flames, found time to draw up
decree organizing the Theatre Francois.
Alas, tho story Is not true. Tho French
national archives have recently been over
hauled, and 1t seems that Napoleon was In
Poland when he received the decree ready
to be signed. He there signed it and sent
1t back to Paris, but in the margin wrote
the following: "To be forwarded when the
army will be at Moscow. 1t Is his maj
csty's intention that the decree should bo
dated from that town. ',-New York Times.
