The Washington Post says: "Certain
people who had apprehensiOns lest Maj.
Mckinley might lack decision of
character, have been relieved OF all
anxiety on that score. He is afiible, he
is gracious, and even cordial, to every
one who calls, but he is like stone
wall when the candidate runs against
him, and has as large stock of silence
at his disposal AS Gen. Grant. People
are beginning to notice resemblance
in President Mckinley to the silent
soldier. He can listen patiently and
with manifest attention to whatever is
said to him, and let the speaker go
without Offering any reply whatever
He does not gush like Garfield, or
endeavor to explain his difficulties like
Hayes. He is never rude and gruil like
Cleveland, and he does not give his
visitors the chills as President Harrison
did. He manages to show cordial
interest in everyone, but is as firm as
the eternal rocks when people try to
crowd him."

Big Stone Contract.

Anthony Gar2or. Il bridge contractor
Of Allegheny City. who has secured the
contract to build the new Carnegie
railroad bridge across the Allegheny
river, near Pittsburg, was in Falls
Creek last week and made arrange
ments with Hon. A. G. Hopkins, of
Lock Haven. who is an extensive land
owner in the vicinity Of Falls Creek. to
secure large amount of stone from Mr..
Hopkins land for the stone work Of the
bridge. The Falls Creek correspondent
to the Dubois ErprSS, in speaking of
the stone contract, says
The quarrcs will be very extensive.
The amount of stone required will reach
many thousands of tons and will require
a large amount of labor. The contrac-
tor hopes tn be able to put out about
$1,000 tons Of material this season, but
10000 may be required on the season
| following. The number Of men employ
| ed will run from 30 to $50 according as
the work progresses. The plant is To-
Gated on the line of the Pennsylvania
railroad and siding will be put in at
once and building material will shortly
be unloaded on the grounds for the pur-
pose of constructing houses and board
ing places for the large number of men
to whom employment will be given.
The preliminary work will occupy
about one months time and active Oper.
ations on the quarries will be com
menced as soon as possible. The work
of building the siding and necessary
buildings will be commenced at once.

The Grand Army is dying at the rate
of 100 day. Every fifteen minutes of
the twenty-four hours the final taps
sound for some one who wore the blue.
Each year puts under more old soldiers
than there are enlisted men and
officers in the entire United States
army. Time is carrying them off faster
in the '90s than bullets did in the Cos.
The war lasted four years to a month.
Tn those four years $4,000 men fell in
battle on the Union side. But now be-
tween 1000 and $4,000 die in the course
of nature each succeeding twelve
months. And for every three Union
veterans who go to fame's eternal camp

bered with the dead.

People who have experienced the pc
culiar sensation of shock from al earth
quake say that it differs from any other
catastrophy, such as railroad accident,
a fall from an elevation or a blow from
heavy object, in the fact that while
the victim retains consciousness. he is
unable TO locate the source of the stroke
it seems to come from everywhere.
He feels the earth sinking and rising,
he sees buildings rocking, hears the
crashing of falling timbers, stones and
other Objects but the mysterious source
of the disturbance is peculiarly terrify-
ing because it is invisible and cannot
be located by sound or touch nor by any
of the senses. The demoralizing effect
of this feeling of helplessness and un-
certainty is indescribable. People run
hither and thither seeking safety; but
alas. there is no assurance of escape, for
at such time there is no solid ground
to stand upon.

ored gentleman will board the car and
laughingly say that he got this car to
stop for him. found, upon asking a
conductor one day, that the negroes in
this part of the town have caught ON to
the fact that as that part of the city is
black at night the motormen of the
swift moving cars cannot detect their
presence on the track in sufficient time
to stop their cars for them, so they, fig
uratively, hang out light for the Car
to stop, and it seems to work both to
the satisfaction of the colored population
and the motormen ON the cars" Neces-
sity is the mother of invention, and it
seems our colored brother has hit upon
a scheme to offset the lack of lights on
those streets back of town traversed by
electric cars.-New Orleans Picayune.

Rock Pictures In Oregon.

w. b. Whltte;nore while in Alturas,
Or, recently discovered some remark
able hieroglyphics about 8 miles north
east from the north end of Warner val
ley ON the edge of what is locally known
as the desert in Lake county. Mr..
Whittemore says the hieroglyphics had
been cut with a sharp instrument in the
surface of the hard basaltic rock. They
cover the face of the bluff for distance
of about three miles and consist of pic
lures of Indians with bows, arrows and
spears, besides deer, antelope, dogs and
wolves, geese, ducks, swans and reptiles
ofvarious kinds. Intermingled with these
animals are characters which, of course,
he could not decipher. He says that the
execution of the pictures was very good,
and he is satisfied that it could not
have been the work of ordinary Indians.
Throughout the entire distance the char
acters and pictures are in rows.
The Indians of the vicinity have no
knowledge of the meaning of the hiero-
glyphics or of the people who ages ago
chiseled them on the surface of the
rocks. From the description given, the
picture writing bears a close resem-
blance to that found i'll Mexico and Cen
tral America. If this supposition is true,
a careful study might reveal to the
arch1ologist some insight into the origin
OF wanderings of dead and forgotten
civilization. Cor. San Francisco Call

Puppy Dog Dinners.

Chow dog, i'll the way of Chinese
diet, is so great delicacy that to leave
it out of an official dinner in China
would be as great crime as leaving
out whitehall or asparagus i'll May on
similar occasions i'll this country. At
Canton rows of dogs, skinned, dressed
and ready for cooking, are hung up in
lines Oh the stalls i'll the market place.
The poor chow, when thus he contributes
to the uelicacies of the heather Chinee's
table, must not have outgrown the ten
der stage of puppydom. When he is 2
months old and his little carcass weighs
two pounds, he is at his best, and once
he has managed to escape his doom till
he is 6 months old he has IA chance of
living to a patriarchal age, for after
that time his ''tiavor' is not, from the
eplcurean point OF view, what it ought
to be.
From the n-Celestial point of view
the chow pup is far too amusing and
handsome IL little customer to be sacri-

laid shark fins, duck tongues and swal-
low nests. The baby chow in appearance
is like tiny bear cub The lower 1O,-

That was loyal if not very gentle

to Frederick the Great of Prussia, as
the story is told i'll Harper's Round Ia
BILE:
During a campaign in Silesia the
king made it his habit to stroll through
his camp i'll disguise at night, to come
into closer relations with his soldiers.
One night he was stopped by sentry,
but, giving the proper password, was
permitted to proceed. Instead of doing
SO, however, he endeavored to tempt
the sentry into accepting a cigar, say
ing that smoke would solace his long
watch.
1T is against the rules" said the
soldier.
but you have my permission, said
Frederick.
"Your permissionr" cried the soldier
"And who are you?"
81 am the king"
1.-The king be hanged!' said the in
corruptible sentry. What would my

X Rays and Diamonds.

One excellent use to which the new K
rays can be put should interest women.
1t seems that by their aid one can read
lily determine whether diamonds are
real or false, for the rays pass quite
through real diamonds, leaving them
transparent, and notat all through false
ones. A real parure when photographed
would show only the mounting, but in
false one all the stones would turn
out black. Strangely enough, the X rays
will not penetrate glass. Eyeglasses, if
photographed, come out black. This
proved useful in the case Of Vienna
glassworker who got bit of glass into
his finger. By the aid of the rays it was
discovered, extracted and the workman
cured.-St. James Gazette.
