Ruddhist Remain. In J.x..

The fact is not generally appreciated that there are ruins of Buddhist and Brahmanio temples in middle Java sur passing in extent and magnifcenoe any thing to be seen in Egypt or India. There, in the heart of the steaming tropics, in that summer land of the world below the equator, on an island where volcanoes cluster more thickly and vegetation is richer than in any other region of the globe, where earth quakes continually rock and shatter and where deluges descend during the rainy half of the year, remains nearly intact the temple of Boro Boedor, covering almost the same area as the great pyra- mid of Gizeh. It Is ornamented with hundreds of life size statues and miles of bas-reliefs presenting the highest ex- amples of Greco Buddhist art-a sculp- tured record of all the arts and indus tries, tho culture and civilization, of the golden age of Java, of the life of the seventh, eighth and ninth centuries in all the farther east, record that is not written in hieroglyphs, but in plainest pictures carved by sculptor s ohisel. That solid pyramidal temple, rising In magnificent sculptured ter races, that was built without mortar or cement, without column or pillar or arch, is one of the surviving wonders of the world. On the spot it seems a veri- table miracle. Eliza Ruhamah Scid- more in Century.

A Close Prophecy.

During the American Revolution an English magazine published an ests- mate of the future population of the North American colonies Placing the population then at 2.00O, 900. and as- suming that it would double itself every twenty five years, the writer esti- mated that that in the year 1890 the num- Der would have increased to GA, 900. 900. This may be taken as most remark prophecy, inasmuch as the census of 1890 fixes the total population at 62- 622, ,25O.

Compliment That Cost Barrel of Apples.
 A Stafford Springs man will probably use discretion hereafter in distributing compliments. He had been collecting rents among the Italian tenements, and at one house he commented to the housewife on her baby. In a joking way he told the woman he would give her 8 rooster for the baby. She did not seem then to be impressed with the offer, but a few days deliberation and probable consultation with her husband had an- other effect, for on the following Sun day she appeared at the mans house and offered the baby, at the same time de- manding the rooster. It required great amount of argument and explanation to convince the woman that there was no market for her child, even at such req sonable price, and she could not be per suaded to take it home again until she had been promised barrel of apples.

Tried to Escape From
Himself.

Weimar, Tex, Dec. 26,-In the
afternoon yesterday Rheimund
Janecek, Bohemian farmer, sui
cided in the Weimar city Jail by
hanging himself to the iron bars of
the prison cage with wooden cloth
or comfort that was worn around
his neck after the fashion of neck
tie.
The evening before he, accom-
panied by his wife and young son,
about IA years old, applied to Jus
tice G. I. Hancock and insisted
upon being locked up in Jail to pre-
vent his doing violence, saying that
he was subject to attacks of in
sanity, and when in that condition
was inclined to do violence to his
family; that he had a good wife
and good children and wished to
be imprisoned so that he could do
them no damage; also that he de-
sired TO be treated and cured Of in
sanity.
The justice knew that there was
awful truth in the unfortunate mans
statement as he had exhibited in
sane violence a short time ago, but
had apparently recovered and
seemed at that time to be still en-
tirely sane. After much embar-
lrassment and consideration the
justice concluded that it would be
the best to have him locked up and
sent to the county authorities al
Columbus.
Yesterday evening about 8 O'clock
when Constable Insall went to the
city jail, to get the volunteer pris
oner to take him to Columbus, he
found the man cold in death, hang
ing to an iron bar, with his knees

almost touching the floor, hii posi-
ton showing that he had draE n his
legs back to keep his feet from
touching the floor and prevfnting
him from choking to death.
The coroner's verdict was in ac-
cordance with the foregoing state
ment.
The unfortunate man was well
educated in Bohemian and German;
was once n passenger conductor on
railroad in Bohemia; lost his
position when his mind became
unbalanced; came to this o1ntry
several years ago and CONNIE hced
farming, with the hope that the
change would bring about his re-
covery, He was about fifty y ears

MOULTON.

The Christmas tree exercises at
the convent school Monday night
were great success, although de-
layed few days on account of the
bad weather, IL was very pleas
ant on Monday and the house was
so crowded that standing room was
in demand. The welcome recita-
ton and song by seven girls, each
holding letter, which spelled the
word welcome" deserves special
mention. Since I could not get a
program l will mention only a few
pieces; A snow scene in which a
number of boys we're found to shovel
snow and ended the merry song by
-balling one another. A wood
land scene by number of boys in
Bohemian. They made bed of hay
and all went to sleep after they had
roasted some potatoes in the camp
fire. Another piece in Bohemian
where bad boy was always into
some mischief and eating every
thing he could find. He wonld al
ways lay it to his sisters, but was
finally caught when he got hold of
some poison in the cupboard.
The three Fehler girls did splendid
in German piece in which the
] oldest was the peacemaker among
her quarrelsome neighbors. Two
of Joe Seidel's children did we'll in
a German piece in which the little
boy was fixed up in his grandpa's
clothes to make a man out of him,
with chorus by the school. A drill
and tableau' by the girls and a
decorated square drill by the boys
with green tableau lights. The
little girls of Mr.. Bias were leaders
lin singing and speaking, and many
others did we'll whose names don't
know. The Christmas tree, which
stood in the next room, was large
one and heavily laden with fruits
and costly ornaments. 1t was a
beauty, and the children were all
very much delighted.
