An old CrocodiIe.

One of the most interesting specimens
in the British museum is crocodile
more than 1000 years old. It is big,
well-preserved specimen, and on it's
back there is a whole family of little
crocodiles. Years before the Christian
era the Egyptians worshiped crocodiles
among their animal deities, and many
specimens were kept at great expense
in their parks and royal gardens, where
they were attended by priests and given
all sorts of dainty morsels for food.
When these crocodile gods died they
were embalmed and placed in the tombs
along with the sacred munmies OF
other sacred animals. This particular
crocodile was prepared by dipping it
in wax and pitch, which rendered it
hard and shiny, and it lay in one of
the pyramids century after century,
until the Egyptian government dug it
out and presented it to the British mu-
.aum Los ANGELES Times.

MUSICAL, THOUGH BLIND.

An Organist'R Method OF Committing
Selections to Memory.
Scores of persons who have attend
ed the Meridian street Meth disb Epis-
copal church have wondered how twas
possible for man not gifted with sight
to play witout error the anthems,
hymns and songs of many services. Mr..
Charles F. Hansen; who does this, is one
of the wonders OF this city, and people
have become so accustomed to seeing
and hearing him that what he does Is
taken as matter of course, with scarce
" a thought OF what 10 must be for him
to arrive at the state which he has
reached. It is rare thing for an or
ganist or any accompanies to play with
out mistakes, and yet Mr.. Hansen rare
" misses the correct note. Mr.. Han
sen entered the Institution for the Edu-
cation for the Blind in Indianapolis
when he was about ten years of age,
and four years later he began the study
of the organ.
The first work was not much like that
which Mr.. Hansen does to-day. He
has two ways of learning piece Of mu-
sic, and for each he has TO have read
er. He has had several during the ten
years he has been playing the organ,
but he considers the present one, Miss
Nellie Vaughn, pupil of his, the
best.
One way in which Mr.. Hansen learns
is to have Miss Vaughn play the prelude
over. This she does two or three times,
and Mr.. Hansen takes the organ and
plays IT absolutely the same. He is
not told the key, the time, or any ofthe
expression marks, or the style. These
he gathers by hearing it. AS the COM
position is played he forms a mental
picture of it with the idea of 'just how
1t looks" although he has never seen
anything. Each part of the work is
repeated in the same way that the pre-
Jude is taken, until the whole is COM
plete.
The work is not done then by any
means, for after, the reading, Mr.. Han
sen thinks over the piece $50 times.
That is his regular number of times
for going over the work mentally. just
before retiring he thinks it over, and
the first work of the next morning is to
play it over on the piano. Then his
part OF the music is ready for rehearsal

Mun,cipal Loans q On HONOR

The association Of Paris students
has for several years past been lending
money to It's members on their honor,
the transaction being kept strictly con-
fidential, the names of the borrowers
being known only to the president and
the treasurer. Encouraged by the
fact that every loan as well as the an
ferest has been duly repaid, the mu-
inequalities of several of the leading
Fernch cities have now embarked upon
a similar scheme, with the object of
keeping their young men out of the
hands of the usurers and at the same
time developing their character and
their sense of responsibility. The mu-
nicipality of the great industrial CEN
ter and city of Lille, in the north of
France in particular, has just endowed
a fund for advancing loans of this ma
ture to the students of Its university,
which is the most important and pros
porous in France next to that of Paris.

rwENTY.NlNE DANGEROUS AGE.
Man Commits More Crimes Then
Than Mt Any Other Time.

Man Commits More Crimes Tnen
Than mt Any Other Time.
It is a singular fact, yet one substan-
tiated by statistics, that most crime is
committed in this state by men 20 years
old. This is not only true of the lesser,
but also of the greater crimes, although
a man is presumed to be at that period
of his life not only in zenith of his
physical, but also in full and complete
possession of his mental powers, with a
complete appreciation Of right and
wrong and their respective conse-
ouences. This condition is problem
which has not been solved by the stu
dent of criminology, and one which is
made the more complex by the fact
that the ages of 81, 81 and As years near
" equal it, with the intervening years
showing far less percentage OF crime.
It is indeed peculiar that the criminal
tendency should be so strong at 20 with
no such inclination, so far as criminal
statistics show, in as great degree for
the succeeding 16 years, and then an
other outburst of the animal in man.
This condition is found to be. true by
actual figures, and as all statistical
computations at which average condl-
ton are sought to be determined are ar
rived at by this method, so may the
student of this subject, as well as the
insurance magnate who bases his rates
on the general average of losses in pro-
portion to the risks taken, and does so
with full safety, employ it in solving
the problem before him.
Charles K. Baker, chief clerk to Super
intendent Lathrop, has made this SUBJ
ject one of close study and will soon
have completed table showing this to
be true. He has already completed one
relative to murderers serving life SEN
fences in the penal institutions, and its
figures bear out the general conclusion.
He offers at this time no explanation
for this, but hopes after he has ex-
hausted the subject, so far as the
presentation of figures is concerned,
to be able to set forth reasons why
these years should be productive of the
most crime.
The following figures show how old
the various murderers who are serving
life sentences were when they commit
ted the act for which they are serving
time, together with how many like
crimes were committed at such specific
year of age: Fifteen, 1; sixteen, I;
seventeen, 2; eighteen, 2; nineteen, 1;

Leather in the old Days.

There was one Observation-Disclosures
which was extensively used in the
vaunted age Of chivalry. Leather could
be nodded, and as "cuir-bouilli" was
much worn. Even the helm was orna-
mented with cuir7bouilli. The helm"
always will cause wonder, for how
did the wearer see at all? a man in a
fight may have another enemy ap-
proach him at the side or back, and
with his visor up the knight never could
tell exactly the whereabouts Of his
next foe. In some Of these helms the
wearer must have been forced to bend
his neck, If he could bend it, away
down, or away up, to see anything at
all. Perhaps there were many ran
dom blows struck in former fights, and
tourney was full of blunders.

Success Depends ON Thought

Many a farmer goes Flooding along,
earning but a scant living, with no rest
in sight this side of the grave, who
might by little reasoning, and the
adaptation of circumstances surround
ing him to the idea in view, making q
speciality of some one line of farming,
and make paying business of it.
But this takes energy, both physical
and mental-and he drifts on in bliss
full ignorance of the chances and oppor-
tunities surrounding him, by which he
might have gained a comfortable COM
petence for his old age.-Rural World.
