is made the occasion Of the ingathering
of the whole flock, who make this
point of most exemplary observance,
the majority of them having to perform
several days of travel to be present. At
these times the square round the

hundreds of wagons and tents are

contrasts strangely with its usual quiet
appearance. Friends meet and re-
ioice in social intercourse, thawing to
merriment and joyiality in the atmos-

Love and IllIteracy in Eneland.

Dtspite all that the English education
acts have accomplished during the last
quarter of a century, the men who, in
1894, signed the marriage register with
marks instead of with their names
were in the proportion of 46 per !, 900,
while the similarly illiterate women
reached 81 per 1000. The registrar
general states that in IA out of every
.OO0 marriages both bridegroom and
bride signed with marks. That some
improvement is going on is, neyerthe-
less. made evident by the circumstances
that, unsatisfactory as the foregoing
figures may appear, yet, as compared
with those of 1893, the proportion OF
men who signed with marks exhibits
a diminution equal to eight per cent,
and that of women diminution of
5.3 per cent.-Chicago Tribune.

Representative Bailey Found a Very
Obedient CIaque

Representative Bailey Found Very
Obedient CIaque.
Representative Bailey is ono of the
most picturesque figures in congress.
He affects constitutional law, wears a
broad eXpanse of shirt front, losses a
mass of wayy black hair and glories in
a sweeping Texas sombrero. Mr.. Bai-
s's boast is that Texas congressional
districts are as big as New England
states. He is the subject of story and
it would be wrong to tell who is the
author of it, as Mr.. Bailey is hot
blooded man. The story is that when
Mr.. Bailey first entered public life in
Texas he was comparatively unknown.
He was 3nSious to forge to the front,
however, and to make himself heard on
every occasion. A large meeting was
to be held in neighboring town. Bai-
ley went to it on horseback He fell in
with a traveller, and in the course of con-
versation about speakers, remarked:
"Did you ever hear of Bailey?'' The
yokel replied that he had not. well"
said Bailey, She is a good speaker, and is
going to be there to-day. If you get a
chance, yell for him and you will get a
speech worth listening to-" The tr7lvel-
er promised. The meeting came of. and
several speakers were heard. Finally
there was a lull, and then some one in
the audience began to yell: ''B-a-i-l-e-yl
B-a-i-l-e-y!" The master of ceremonies
turned to Bailey and led him to the
rostrum. Bailey started to speak, but
the shouter continued to yell "B-a-i-
i-e-yi" Bailey stopped. The master of
ceremonies said, genially: "If our
friend viii keep still Mr. Bailey will
continue his address. The gentleman
speaking is Mr.. Bailey" The only re-
ply to this was a howl of disgust from
the man who had been making all the
noise, and he blurted out: "Why, that's
the long-haired galoot that told me to
holler for Bailey" IN. Y. Tribune.

BIBLE MANUSCRIPTS.
Discoveries of Ancient Writings During
Recent Years.

Discoveries of Ancient Writings During
Recent Years.
The Oldest manuscripts OF the Bible
are not those of the Old Testament, but
of the New. The earliest New fiesta
ment text dates from the fourth CEN
fury, whereas those of the Old Tesla
ment are not older than the ninth cen
truy.
Thus the Oldest extant manuscripts
of the Hebrew Old Testament are SEQ
years later than the earliest manu-
scripts of the Greek New Testament.
One eminent modern writer declares
that all the existing Hebrew manu-
scripts of the Old Testament descend
from . single copy made in the reign Of
Hadrian A. D. 102-117), at the time of
the great persecution of the Jews BY
that emperor.
Some memorials of the greatest value,
completely revolutionizing all pre-
vious knowledge of the conditions un-
der which written documents were pre-
pared in remote ages, have been dis
covered within the last decade or so by
the merest accident. Of such nature
was the discovery of the Tel-el-Armana
tablets, nine years ago.
These were found by an Egyptian
woman in 1885, among the ruins of an
ancient temple, between Memphis and
Thebes. They are of clay and contain
the engraved correspondence in thi
Babylonian tongue (the language of d.
plomacy at that age) between KING
N,naponbio TIT Of I7cr1r,,+ a nj i,;e, ,-oee,
princes in Palestine. The tablets BE-
long to the age of the Book of Joshua
and in part relate to the events recorder
therein. It is quite probable that the
original editions of the earliest books
of the Old Testament were written on
clay tablets similar to these.
The history of the text of the New
Testament has its romantic incidents
as well as that of the Old. The storg
CT Tischendorf's discovery OF the Codcx
Sinaiticus is one of these. Fifty-one |
years ago, in the course of his travels |
in the east, Tischendorf put up for the
night in the monastery of st. Catherine,
at Mount Sinai.
While taking a look through the III
brary he noticed a waste paper basket
leaves of the most Gncicn! |
Greek writing he had ever seen. They
were part of the now priceless Gree
Bible. This Bible is, unfortunately, 10.
perfect, because many of the leaves
before Tischendorf discovered it, had
been used by the monks of st. Catherine
to light the fire.
After great trouble and expense
discovered the whole of the
portions of this important
document, which frequently contains
the New Testament intact. As soon rs
the monks found out that it was yalua-
bic they raised such disturbance that
The car of Russia had to interfere be-
lore the precious document could he
secured. Il is now in the imperial IL
'rary Of st. Petersburg.
An earlier Syriac manuscript was dis
covered in the monastery by two women
a couple of years ago,-N. Y.

Not for Carrinre yVbeels.


It is not generally understood as it
should be, perhaps, that bicycle wheels
seldom or never are subjected to lateral
strains. They need to resist only those
strains which pass through their own
plane and in this plane only have they
any strength worth speaking of This
is worth remembering when the use
of wheels of this type is being consit-
cred for three or four wheeled vehi-
clcs, where the conditions are essen
TALLY different and where, in turn
ing corners rapidly, or in going over
ground that causes the vehicle to be
inclined sideways, a very considerable
iateral strain may be brought upon the
wheels-a strain which the ordinary
bicycle wheel is, very properly, entire
ly untitled for. This is to be consid
cred also in connection with devices
for attaching two bicycles side by side
to make a duplex or four-wheeled ma
chine Of them. Neither the frame, the
bearings nor the wheels of properly
constructed bicycle are adapted to such
without njury-Chicago News.

Profit on Horses. Carcasses.

A concern in Philadelphia makes
profit OF $24 on the carcass of every
horse. In the first place, the hide is
valuable and the leather known us
cordoyan is taken from the skin over
the rump. The other leather is soft
and is used mostly for slippers and
heavy driving gloves. The hair from
the tail and name is made into hair
cloth, and the short hair is used in
stutiing cushions and horse collars.
From the hoofs oil is extracted, and
the horny substance is sold to comb
manufacturers. The leg bones are
used for knife handles. The ribs and
head are burned to make boneblacls
after the glue has been extracted. BY
various processes phosphorus, carbon
ate Of ammonia, cyanide of potassium
and prussic acid are obtained, and
sometimes the meat is canned and
shipped to Europe.

THE AMoRous ToMrIT's HAREM.

their foundation by the accidental dis.
covery of William Henry Andrews in
England.
Mr.. Andrews has n garden. He was
recently taking walk in his garden
when his eye was arrested by an in.
verted flower pot known in the garden
ing profession as a "12-inchcr." This
f,ower-pot was turned upside down,
exposing hole to the sky.
Mr.. Andrews tumbled the pot over
and beheld u picture which brought
the modest blush to his cheek, 1t let
a food of light into the private estab-
lishment Of an amorous tomtit.
This disreputable bird, not content
with the single helpmate affected by
others of his tribe, had added three un-
lawful concubines. He had built a
large nest at the foot of the flower-pot,
and this he had divided into four por-
tions.
Each of the sub-nests Of his harem
was provided with "lady friend" and
q supply of eggs. .... ......
Mr.. Andrews first hope was that
each nest might possess separate and
legitimate master. This was weakened
by his knowledge Of the pugnacious
nature of the tomtit. The male tomtits
are always fighting.
Then Mr.. Andrews started to investi-
gate. He replaced the flower-pot and
kept it under surveillance for a week
or more. ,., .,-r.. 70. E1
This dispelled his last hope, because
the fower-pot had only one visitor.
This enterprising tomtit would fly
away in the morning and return at
evening regularly, entering the flower
pot through the small hole exposed at
the top.
He occasionally lowered about in a
suspicious manner, however, il there
were other birds in the vicinity, evil
IDENTIFY prepared to fight for the privacy
of his polygamous home II necessary.
He was good provider," which was
apparently one reason his lady friends
were content with the curious arrange
ment, as he brought liberal supplies of
food and was forever on the lookout for
their welfare. I ..,u,rr .
Mr.. Andrews, however, was SO
shocked by what was going on in his
garden that he destroyed the nests
after first photographing them, and
the five eyil-doers were turned out into
the cold world homeless. Inquiry is
now being made among scientific cir
cles to see il this is the custom in the
tomtit world, and to ascertain the rel
alive proportion of male to female
births.

he was 80 years old he was promoted to
the rank of lieutenant general, and ap.
pointed captain general of the Canary
islands. This was his reward for what
Spain considered his brilliant and heroic
work in the San Domingo campaign.
He made proud record in the Carlist
war in the Spanish peninsula. On ac-
count of his interest in the public in
situations of Santa Cruz and building
its military hospital and other public
edifices he was proclaimed the adopted
son of Tenerliffe. His success as a
civil leader as well as n military COM
mander caused him to be sent as cap
tain general to the Philippine islands,
to which country he brought peace and
happiness. Since his return to Spain
he has held the highest military posi-
tions in Barcelona and Catalonia If
the new governor generals barbaric
threats be put into execution 1t is pos
sible the whole civilized world will cry
out against Spanish savagery.

The natural Death Time.

Button, Flourens. Humboldt and. a
great many other eminent natura'lists,
scientists, ETC.. were of the opinion that
the natural limit of earthly existence
among the animal creation is five times
as long as the time expended by them
in reaching maturity. Button gives the
following table to substantiate that
peculiar belief: The camel grows for
eight years, lives 40; the horse grows
for five years. lives IS; the OK grows
for four years. lives IS to 20; the lion
grows for four years. lives 20; the dog
grows for two years, lives 10 to IL; the
man grows for 90 years, lives 100.

Louisiana. 1t embraced the site of the
present city. ...t
He labored in the mines until his
death in 1910, and was buried on the
top of the cliff separating his smelling
works on the north from the Indian
village to the south. This bluff, rising
boldly from the Mississippi, is extreme.
ly picturesque and commands an in
spring view of the city to the north, the
river, the bluffs of Wisconsin and the
crescent valley of Illinois through
which the Mississippi flows when in the
full tide of its majesty.
1t is a singular fact that the circum-
stances of Dubuque's death and burial
are presented in greatest detail in the
French language and in rare old French
volumes, held principally in Paris.
What has come down through the early
settlers, the first of whom settled here
a quarter of a century after his death,
is q tradition that the Indians, who
came from all points of the compass.
and some of whom travelled hundreds
of miles, buried him with great cere-
ClCSUSu IudC Win
leaden roof over the grave of the daring
pioneer. ... .. -. ......
Early writer's record the presence of
this house over the grave, and in fact
the oldest settlers remember it. How
ever, the last remnant disappeared
years ago. The Early Settlers associa-
ton has made spasmodic efforts to raise
a monument fund, and now proposes
also the conversion of the old Sac and
Fox village into public park and its
dedication in this semicentennial year
of Iowa's statehood.
The monument proposed Is to be IS
feet high and of stone covered with lead.
It must be confessed that no great de-
gree of interest has been enlisted, es-
pecially among the citizens who might
be expected to contribute, and an ap-
preparation of public funds by state or
county seems the only practical means
of concentrating the plan. 1t is esti-
mated the monument would cost SIS, 900.
