A Victim of Curiosity.

A man to whom was given the name of
George Brown was committed to the in
sane asylum by County Judge Northup of
Portland recently The case is one of the
most peculiar that has come under the at
tention of the authorities for long time.
Jailer Resting found the man sitting on
the curb at Third and Stark streets, and
upon addressing him with query as to
his name and business, received in reply a
torrent of abuse and profanity. Presum-
ing the man was under the influence of
liquor the officer placed him under arrest
on charge of drunkenness. When taken
to the station, the captain, as is usual,
asked the prisoner his name. The ques-
tion again loosened the floodgates of a
marvellous stream of profanity, which
could only be suppressed by placing the
prisoner in a dark cell When he had be-
come quiet, he was transferred TO the big
cell with the other prisoners, and one Of
the latter asked his name. The calm coun-
tenance Immediately changed again, and
the usual bitter imprecations of the man
were repeated. Each effort of the officers
to learn his name always resulted In the
same outburst.
He finally consented to talk, and told
the officers peculiar story. He said he
was tormented by people asking him his
name. In Brooklyn, where he formerly
resided, he would occasionally come in
contact with man who would ask him
his name, and to avoid these no went
west. The first man on the car to speak
TO him was the conductor, who asked him
his name. When at a hotel they would
always ask him his name. On the road 1t
was the same, no matter where he fled,
and to crown his torment with the great
est wrong he was confined In Jail to hear
the question repeated. At the county Jail
he tore his garments into shreds one night.

THE CLIFF JEWELLERS.
A Description of the Country and Climate
In Which They Live.

In the high country the great pines sing
and moan in the wind ut night and morn
ing. The pinons and cedars on the lower
levels murmur filfully to the passing
breeze. Small lizards rustic in the dried
grass as they whisk from your presence.
Prairie dogs here and there chatter and
whistle at you rs you pass. AS night
comes on the bowls and banks of the coy
otcs circling far about the camp are weird
and mournful. But the great country
stretching away for hundreds of miles has
scarce a human habitation, few wild ami
mails and birds. and these largely of the
still kind, and so is mostly silent 1t is
very hot In the daytime with the sun
straight at you from above and back at
you from the rocks us you ride. 1t is
sometimes rather trying TO stop at mid
day, unpack and get dinner. Perhaps
there is no shade for 20 miles, except I'M
der your mules, and your mules kick
But the air is SO dry aud braoing that a
temperature of from los degrees to l12
degrees in the sun is never disheartening,
as is the ordinary summer weather of our
eastern cities, with that combination of
heat and moisture which so remorselessly
saps the energies. And ever above is the
marvellous sky. The nights are always de-
liciously cool.
Altogether the wanderer who doesn't
mind the wholesome sunburn upon the
skin and has good supply of water is
about as free and comfortable and happy
as good mortals deserve to be- How far
away New York seems! And for the
thousand unnecessary things which we
gather about us in our winter thraldom
and dote upon-how pitiful are they, if we
deign TO recall them This is living. You
get down to sheer manhood face to face
with the bare, relentless, fascinating old
earth, and no memory of art rebukes
your willing thraldom to the glorious pic
lures which momently rise and fade.-T.

Saving For Old Age.

No one denies that it is wise to mako q
provision for old age, but we are not all
agreed as to the kind of provision it Is best
TO lay in. Certainly we shall want little
money, for "a destitute old man is indeed a
sorry sight. Yes, save money, by all
means. But an old man needs Just that
particular kind of strength which young
men are most apt to waste. Many fool
ish young fellow will throw away on q
holiday certain amount of nervous en-
ergy which he will never feel the want of
till he is 20, and then, how much he will
want 1t! It's curious, but true, that a bot
tie OF champagne at 20 may intensity the
rheumatism of threescore. 1t Is fact that
everlasting the eyes at IA may necessitate
the aid of spcctacles at 40, instead of so.
We advise our young readers to be saving
of health for their old age, for the maxim
holds good with regard to health as to
Waste not, want not.''
1t Is the greatest mistake to suppose
that any violation of the laws of health
can escape its penalty. Nature forgiyes
no sin, no error. She lets off the offender
for 90 years sometimes, but she catches
him at last and inflicts the punishment
just when, just where, just how he feels 1t
most. Save up for old age, but save know
ledge, save the recollection of good deeds
and innocent pleasures; save pure
thoughts, save friends, save love; save rich
stores of that kind of wealth which time
cannot diminish nor death take away
Exchange.

A MARINE BATTLE.
An Exciting Contest In Which the Whale
Vanquished His Enemies.

1t happened on one occasion that we
were cruising off the coast of Japan dur
ing very successful season, and having
Just "cut in" large fish" were busy
"trying OUT the blubber. A violent COM
motion near the ship drew our attention
from the work in hand, and for the next
quarter of an hour we witnessed as tre-
mendous a fight as old Homer himself
could haye wished to describe. Two "kill-
ers" and huge swordflsh (xiphias), des-
perate with hunger, had combined their
forces and yentured to attack half grown
bull cachalot. Nothing am persuaded,
but the direst necessity and pressure of
want could have prompted them to under
take so grave q conflict, although 1t must
needs be confessed that their combination
was powerful one.
1t fell to the swordflsh to lead off, and
he launched himself at tho whale like a
whitehead torpedo, pointed direct for the
most vital part. But n gentle swerve of
the wary cachalot presented to the attack
instead of tho vulnerable broadside the
oblique, impenetrable mass of the head.
The awful blow of the sword. impelled by
the furious speed of the mass behind it,
struck just below the whales eye, ripping
a white streak diagonally upward through
the grisly substance covering the skull,
but spending its force in the air above,
while the great body, following, glided SER
pentlike right over the whales head and
fell helplessly upon the other side. With
incredible agility for so vast "a bulk, the
cachalot turned, settling slightly withal,
then rising, lower jaw uppermost, he
caught the xiphias fairly in the center be-
tween those might shears, and cleft him
in two halves. A side way shake of the
great head scarce perceptible gulp, and
the tail half of that swordfish slid down
the whales cayernous throat with as much
ease and rapidity as if it had been an oys-
ter. Meanwhile, the orcas had not been
remiss in supporting the spirited attack of
their i'll fated coadjutor. One hung upon
either flank of their giant foe and worried
him as dogs worry IA boar.
But their time had como. After vainly
endeavoring by rolling and writing to
free himself from them he suddenly
changed his tactics. Rearing himself
majestically out of the seething eddies like
mighty column of black rock he fell
backward, tearing himself away from the
clinging monsters. Up rose his enormous
tail from the boiling vortex, and, descend
ing like gigantic scythe, literally
crushed one Of his aggressors beneath it,
the blow reverberating like thunder. The
survivor fled, but the Infatuated Titan
pursued, leaping, like dolphin, half out
of the sea at every bound, and although
we could not see the end of the chase
we had little doubt that Orca gladiator
paid the full penalty of his rashness I'M
der the lethal sweep of those terrible jaws.

Lord Hertford's Haste at the Funeral.

The Lord Hartford who formed the Wal
lace collection visited Ragley, the family
place in Warwickshire, only once in his
life, and that was on Tuesday of his fathers
funeral, in March, 1S42. The third mar
quis had died in London at Dorchester
House. and the body had been brought by
road to Ragley, where it lay in state in
the darkened dining room, with tall can
dies burning all around, the room hung
with black velvet, the bier surrounded by
mutes and plumes, while the coronet was
displayed on a crimson cushion placed up
on the coffin, and the star and ribbon of
the Garter were on purple cushion.
Squires, parsons, yeomen and country folk
were all assembled, and, having refreshed
themselves, the hour arrived for the funeral
in Arrow church.
The following account is from volume
printed many years ago for private circu-
lation: just then u travelling carriage,
with four smoking post horses, dashed up
the avenue. A solitary traveller got out,
and, looking round him unconcerned, en-
tered the house of death. This was the
new Marquis Of Hartford, heir to most
princely heritage. The travel stained
horses remained standing before the prin-
cipal entrance of Ragley Hall, while the
funeral service was being hurried over
and the unhallowed remains of man
who had left none to mourn for him were
deposited in the damp, dark vault. Then,
when the coffin was consigned to its niche
in the family sepulcher, the traveller,
drawing his ample cloak somewhat closer,
stepped back into his carriage and has
tened away. The wondering rustics, Who
looked through the closed windows from
tree top and branch at the comfortably
muf1led figure, reported that he had fallen
asleep before he reached the park gates.
But, asleep or awake, none of them ever
looked again on the impassive face of
their landlord. London World

BEHIND THE PuRDAH.
The Lives That Women Are Compelled To
Live In India.

An Englishman, bent on mastering the
mysteries of their code of worship, attend
ed Hindoo debates where the orthodox
and the advanced school met together in
discussion. "Can you tell me-" he in
quired at last confused by the arguments
and counter Arguments tossed like shuttle
cocks from one 10 Qnothor, "of one single
article OF your creed which you all bold in
common"
"We ali believe" one of them replied,
Gin the sanctity of COW and in the de-
prayity of woman"
AS rule, they act up to this article of
belief, or rather they live down TO it. Yet
once upon time, even in India, there
seems TO have been golden age for
women. Their present social condition is
traced TO the Mohammedan invasion. The
country was harassod by irruptions OF
Arabs and Persians from the year 1000
until it was conquered by the Sultan Ba-
Der In 1925. The Mosleins brought with
them not only ravage and bloodshed, but
many evils hitherto unknown In the
country. The Hindoo homes were robbed
of their women and girls to I'LL the har-
ems, or Zenanas, as they are called In In
dia, and the Hindoos shut up their wives
and daughters in order to protect them.
Only the higher castles could do this effectu-
ally. Stern necessity required that the
poorer girls and women should work, and
this offered degrees of liberty on descend
ing scale. The higher the caste, the more
complete the seolusion.
1t is computed that at least 100000
girls and women live behind the purdah,
or curtain, metaphorically veil of dig
nifty, which shuts them off from the outer
world. 1t is not from want Of natural hui
manity that zenana is the darkest part
of the house and farthest away from the
entrance into the street. A Hindoo is
very religious; it is said that he even
"sins religiously." His sacred books tell
him that a woman must be protected that
she must not be allowed to look out of
window into the streets; that no man ex-
cept a near relation must look on her face,
and, if she offends, she may be corrected
by "a rope, a whip, or cane. culver.

A FINE DISPLAY OF ART.
American Sculpture as Shown In the Ii
brary of Congress.

Upon the whole it may almost be said
that the sculptors appear in the library to
greater advantage than the painters. Not,
of course, that the art of sculpture is SO
successfully cultivated in America as the
art of painting, but that the library pre-
sents more adequate exposition of what
we can do in sculpture than in painting.
1t is indeed the first collective exhibit in
durable form of the work of American
sculptors that has ever been made There
is no American sculptor who Is conspicu-
Gus by his absence, whereas there are
American painters whom the observer will
miss and others whom he will encounter
with more or less regret. The bronze doors
of Warner set standard at the threshold
to which it would be too much to hope
that all the interior sculpture should con-
form. And yet those who know American
sculpture best will probably be most sur
prised at the success with which the sculp-
tural adornment of the great rotunda has
been managerial the appropriateness,
alike architectural and symbolical, of the
eight austere figures of the pendentives, at
the dignity and the force Of the portrait
statues. Not that even here there are not
some works which appeal for attention by
"a provincial eccentricity.
The more strictly decorative modelling,
which still has sculptural pretensions, one
cannot praise so highly. The facility of
the modeler of it is SO astonishing that it
would be contrary to nature if it were not
largely reminiscent. Reminiscent or not,
the aspiring bronze figures that form the
finals of the newell posts IN the vestibule
are extremely effective. But the flying
figures which hold the tablets over the al
legorical statues and which fiji the span
drills by the simple expedient of kicking
backward into them, are pretty plainly
homogeneous with the sober and monu-
mental richness which is the character of
the great rotunda and which is very pow
erfully enhanced by the allegorical statues
of the pendentives and the portrait statues
of the marble screens. Montgomery
Schuyler in Scribner's.
