81 suppose" said Mr.. Glimmerton,
chat if man is blessed with fairly
good health he ought to be able to sleep
nights, but, as a matter of fact, many
people lie awake half the night worry
ing over things not worth fretting
about, and waking up in the morning
tired out to start with.
"What is needed is thought switch
that will switch the thoughts over from
unpleasant lines to lines that are pleas
ant and keep them there. There are
plenty of such switches now, but the
trouble with 'em all is that they don't
lock. They're all open switches. A man
gets over all right, but it's always up
grade where this switch is laid, and the
first thing he knows he slides back on
the old line Of thought. What we want
is switch that will keep him on the
right track till he's gathered strength
enough to climb the hill to the level,
where the going is easy, and where the
track lies straight for dreamland.

tenderly, as if in love with its gasping
gutturals. We never sat down to meal
that some one did not urge us to the en-
joyment of its wonders. At last in self
defense we went. The Cartuja's archi-
lecture struck us as elaborate, its deco
ration as abandoned as the gush that had
sent us to it. 1t had not even the anus
ing gayety of Bohemia's rocco, but
was pretentious and fiorid in dull,
vulgar way, more in keeping with gild-

BITTEN BY A SNAKE.
That Is what the Victim Of Practical
Joke Thought,


"a good many years ago, said an
ex-congressman to party Of congress-
men, 81 was in Georgia. A party of us
decided to go from Atlanta to Clarks-
vile on horseback Tim Murphy, an
Irishman, was a lieutenant of the At
lanta police force. He wanted to go,
too, and we consented. On our way to
GAINESVILLE, through the mountainous
sections of the state, we killed two large
rattlesnakes. Murphy was amazed and
frightened. He wanted to know if
snakes were plentiful, and we told him
that they were. We told him that at
GAINESVILLE they had often been found
in the rooms of guests at the hotel. Tim
hated to turn back and so went ON.
1--WE knew that at Gainesville sa-
loon keeper had a stuffed bull snake, and
we concocted plan to make Tim wish
he had never left Atlanta. We got to
the old fashioned hotel all right We
were put in a big room, with four beds
in it. We drank good deal, and Tim
was in excellent spirits. 1t was warm
night, and most of us undressed. Tim
pulled Off everything but his shirt. He
lay down face foremost across the bed.
Then tied a string around the neck of
the snake, put fishhook at the other
end Of the line and cautiously hitched
the hook to Tins shirt.
1.-THE next time he turned around he
got glimpse of the snake. Holy
schmoke' he yelledl 'Lookl' And then
he made dash for the window. AS he
jumped out the window the fishhook
pricked him in the back. He uttered an
awful yell, said he had been bitten and
went flying through the sandy streets of
the town dressed in Kongo style. We
followed and tried to catch him. At ev-
cry step he swore he had been bitten,
and that he would die. We overhauled
him after the whole town had been
aroused. We took him back to the hotel
and filled him with whisky, telling
him that was the only cure for q snake
bite. The next morning he went to At
lanta and took course under physi-
clan for snake bite. For years after that
Tim would brag about killing 20 snakes
ct one time and of having been bitten
by one of them. He did not learn of the
trick for five years, and then he threat
ened to take my life. Washington

TIE Throne OF THUNDER.


Mungo Nam Lobeh, the throne, or
place, Of thunder, as the natives call il,
the peak of Kameruns as the whites
call it, is the highest point ON the west
ern side of the African continent.
The first view the voyager gets of it.
who, coming from the northward, has
been coasting for weeks along low
shores and up the stagnant rivers
fringed with mangrove swamp, is a
thing no man can ever forget. Sudden
ly, right up out of the sea, the great
mountaA rises to its 10, 200 feet, whiie
close at hand, to westward, towers tho
lovely island mass of Fernando Pc to its
10, 100 feet, and great as is its first charm
every time you see it it becomes greater,
although it is never the same. Five
times have been in the beautiful bay
at its foot and have never seen it twice
alike. Sometimes it is wreathed with
indigo black tornado clouds, sometimes
crested with snow, sometimes standing
out hard and clear as though made of
metal, and sometimes softly gorgeous
with green, gold, purple and pink vapors
tinted by the sunset.
There are only two distinct noun
tains, or peaks, to this glorious thing
that biologists brutally call ian intru-
sive mass"-Big Kamerun and Little
Kamerun. The latter, Mungo Nah
Etindah, has not yet been scaled, though
it is only $3.50 feet One reason for
this doubtless is that people DESTROYS of
going up mountains, rather rare form
of human being i'll fever stricken, over
worked west Africa, naturally try for
the big peak; also the little peak is
mostly sheer cliff, and covered with al
most impenetrable bush. Behind the
Kamerun mountain, inland there are
two chains of mountains, or one chain

Rumbi and Onion mountains
These are little known at present, and
are clearly no relation of Mungo's.

INVENTORS DON'T PATENT.
Discoveries of Epoch Making Devices Took
No Pains to Keep Them.

DISCOVERIES of Epoch Making Devices Took
No Pains to Keep Them.
If you look back on the history of hui
man progress, you will find that none
of the great epoch making inventions
has ever been patented. The man who
lit the first fire-whether Prometheus
or the party from whom he stole the
idea, did not get a patent for it. Mel
Their did the man who made the first
wheel--in every sense one of the most
revolutionary inventions in the history
Of man, The same thing may be said of
the invention of soap, candles, gun
powder. umbrellas and the mariners
compass, or, to come down to our own
day, Of the steam engine and the cleo
trio telegraph.
Patents are mostly concerned with
small mechanical details and improve
ments-it may be in candles or umbrel-
las or it may be in the application of
steam and electricity-and by means Of
these patents enormous profits have
been secured to second rate inventors,
but the great ideas and discoveries
which underlie these details have been
given to the world gratis.
There is q general notion that if you
did not protect inventions by means of
patents inventors would cease to invent,
and material progress would come to a
standstill. But history does not bear
this out in the least Men with great
mechanical gifts do not exercise them
solely with a view to commercial profit
any more than astronomers search the
heavens for new worlds with an eye to
registering patents and floating COM
panies ON the results of their discover
les. London Truth.

THE FIRST CARRIAGE IN MAINE.
How q Minister Came to Buy 1t and Why
He Sold 1t.

He Sold 1t.
The Rev. Francis Winter was ma
tive of Boston and graduate Of Har-
yard college. He went to Bath early in
1867, and after preaching on probation
for the Orthodox church was invited to
settle, which invitation he accepted. He
was ordained i'll the autumn Of the same
year. He went to Bath on horseback in
company with Lemuel Standish. Mr..
Winter came from Boston, where he
had associated with such eminent men
as Adams, Otis and Warren, himself
becoming af1 urucnb palrluG, tflnaaAg uiio
lead in the Revolutionary measures
adopted in Bath during that memorable
period.
Mr.. Winter married Miss Abigail AL
den in 176S, and it is through her that
the Winters of today trace their ancestry
back to the Puritan Maiden of Plym-
outh. F"
Three years after the marriage of the
Rev. Francis Winter and Abigail Alden
they started to visit sister of Mrs.
Winter, living in Connecticut, and in
tended to ride all the way ON horseback,
but Mrs. Winter became so fatigued that
Mr.. Winter sold one of the horses for q
carriage and harness 1t was the first
carriage that ever came into Maine and
was called chaise Travelling was so
difficult that two negroes were employed
to accompany them with shovels and
axes to clear the road. Several times the
chaise had to be taken apart and lifted
over fallen trees. The minister parish
toner's thought that it was putting on
too much style for their pastor to ride
in carriage, and in consequence Mr.
Winter sold it, This was i'll 1771. 1t

Tho Aryan Cowboys.

The study Of domestic cattle should
be of especial interest to us because they
have undoubtedly occupied more inn
portant place i'll our own ancestral his
tory than any other species of animal.
The Aryan tribesmen from whom nearly
all western civilization folk are de-
scended were cowboys almost to man.
Like the Kaffirs and damaras of South
Africa today, all their thoughts were
about their herds. This is shown in q
curious way by the study Of the early
development of our language. The San
skirt word for o king meant originally "a
chief herdsman. The word for an as
sembly, or the meeting place of con-
gress, was the same as that for cow

Professor Max Muller traces the word
daughter" to the ancient term for
millzmaid. In the good old times they
plainly did not take any account of
young ladies who were not accomplished
performers in the cowpen.
The COW or OK was for long ages the
chief standard of value. Everything,
from new coat to new wife, was
priced at SO many cows Many Of our
words which refer to money bear traces
Of this, such as fee" and "pecuniary,"
which are directly derived from the old
English and Latin words for cattle.
Doubtless there were currency disputes
when other materials began to be used
for coinage, and difficulties arose about
the adjustment of relative values. Cow

not allowed to be aggressive enough to

does not lead fashion is that he wears q
silk hat with q sack coat. 1t also proves
that he does not follow the fashion. Tho

Charging a Bear with payonets.

Russian soldiers in Siberia are not
only encouraged to exercise their mar
tial ardor on big game, but are actually
led out in squads to take part in the
hunt. On recent occasion a local po-
lice inspector joined in the hunt and
got two of the soldier beaters to act as
his bodyguard. When the bear came
merrily romping toward him over the
snow, the inspector got flurried, missed
both barrels, flung down his gun and
buried his head in the snow, seeking to
burrow out of sight. The bear came on
in great fury. Two of the soldiers
waited till he came to close quarters
and turned him back with a volley.
They then charged with fixed bayonets
and finished him off in true military
style. They have been rewarded for
their presence Of mind in saving the life
of the guardian of the peace by having
their photographs hung in their head
quarters and being each presented with
one ruble. London Globe.
