pd- In the Brazilian hotels men are
employed to do the chamber work,
and they are prone to rush into the
bedrooms of the guests when occasion
requires without knocking. A prim
little Yankee "schoolmarm" visiting
Rio de Janeiro was much annoyed at
this custom, and, after mildly protest
ing several times without effect, she
said, severely, to the boy who did the
work in her room: "Juan, be good
enough to understand that I will not
allow you to open the door of my
room without knocking. If you do it
again, shall certainly report you at
the Office. Why, I might be dress
ing !" "No danger of that, senora,"
responded Juan, in his best English ;
"before I come in 1 always look me
through the keyhole."

BONES In A SILVER VEIN.-1f the
find of a Colorado silver miner, made
half dozen years ago, be taken into
account, there is but little doubt that
the human race existed on this CONT
nent as long ago as the time when the
silver veins were in process of forma-
ton. In the Rocky Point mine in
Gilman, 400 feet below the surface, q
number of human bones were found
imbedded in the silver bearing ore.
When taken out, over 800 worth OF
silver still clung to the bones. An ar
rowhead, made of tempered copper
and four inches long, was also found
with the remains.-Exchange.

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.
Only Few Special Matters Brought to
the Courts Attention.

Only a Few Special Matters Brought to
the Courts Attention.
The grand jury completed its labors
for the present term on last Tuesday
afternoon, and before being discharged,
presented the following as its final
report:
To Hon. James Aldrich, Presiding
Judge:
The grand jury begs leave to make
the following report:
They have passed upon all the bills
submitted to them. With reference to
the county home and farm, the grand
jury reports that everything is in fair
condition but they are OF the opinion
that a new barn should be built, and
that other buildings on the farm should
be repaired. If the hoard of county
commissioners will authorize the su-
pervisor, or committee Of their body
to have the work done, an examination
of the buildings on the farm will show
that they are in need of repairs.
All of the magistrates, except the
magistrate for Broad River township,
have presented their reports and the
same were found to be satisfactory.
The magistrate for Broad River town
ship should be served with notice to
make his report at the next term with
out fail.
The grand jury have nothing further
to bring to the attention of the court
at the present term. The grand jury
begs to thank his honor for his kind
ness and clear explanation of the law
relating to all matters submitted to it.
Respectfully submitted,
w. L. HILL, Foreman.

CHAPTER XIII.
A MOONLIGHT NIGHT.

The description given me by Tom
Discoe was sufficient to locate the old
stone structure where I had agreed to
meet him and Jake Huke. 1t was on the
right in going to the Palisades, was
reached by a plainly marked path, and
near enough to the highway to be per-
ceived during the daytime.
Situated among the trees, which at
this season were in full bloom, it would
not be visible at night. 1t would have
been difficult, if not impossible, for me
to find it but for the fact that when l
strolled past it some time before I was
led by natural curiosity to scrutinize
It quite narrowly. Ny memory of places
has always been good, and felt little
fear Of a mistake.
Twas fairly beyond the suburbs Of
Englewood, with the houses becoming
few and widely separated, and was
walking at moderate pace, for there
was plenty of time at command. FIRE.

and listened. Now that the drama had

vague fear that Covey Cone had man.
aged to outwit me and was shadowing
my movements.
It was when this feeling was the
strongest that I made the disquieting dis
covery Of which I have spoken.
Somebody was following me.
At the moment of turning my head
an obscuring mass Of drifting vapor
passed from before the bright moon,
whose rays flooded the earth. The Light
ing up of the landscape showed me the
outlines of a man in the path walking
In the same direction with myself.
There was the possibility that he was
an individual who held no interest in
me. He might be on his way to visit a
neighbor or some one taking the stroll
for his own pleasure.
All this was possible, but the action
of the stranger shut out such comfort,
ing conclusion. He must have possessed
keen eyes, for hardly had stopped il
my walk when he did the same.
Thus two men, separated by more
than 100 yards, stood as motionless al
statues, peering at each other through
the gloom.
Suddenly the shadowy figure began
to grow misty and uncertain. 1t flicker
ed and danced in an odd way and ther
vanished altogether. Another cloud hao
SO veiled the moon that darkness envel
oped the stranger.
The obscuration was only for a few
seconds, when the ragged rift glided of
and the earth was bathed again In sill
very light.
I had not stirred in my position, bu'
was still trying to pierce the darkness
waiting for my man to loom out tt
view. But he did not. The place which
had so lately known him knew him NJ
longer. He had taken advantage Of thu
temporary deepening of gloom to slil
out Of sight.

THE THOUGHTFUL CHAUNcEY.-.

THE THOUGHTFUL CHAUNCEY.-A
good story is told on Chauncey De-
pew. He received a letter from a
young married friend in Albary asking
for pass for his mother-in-law, who
was coming to make him visit, and
closing with the delicate hint, "Don't
forget to have the return coupon at
tached." Mr.. Depew is nothing if not
worldly wise and sympathetic, and in
sending the pass he wrote, II have
not neglected the return coupon and
have limited it to three days. Min

A POPULAR FALLACY.-
Fall In Temperature of Ocean Does Not
Indicate Presence of Ice.

Fail In Temperature of Ocean Does Not
Indicate Presence of Ice.
For many years an opinion existed
among Seamen and others that fall in
the sea-surface temperature implied
Hearness of ice. Nothing, says the
Nautical Magazine, can be more remote
from the truth, though shore folk still
rerpctuate this fiction in books and
newspapers. A sudden fall in sea
surface temperature is likely near the
Agulhas, the Japanese current, the gulf
stream, while running the Fasting down
in the South Indian ocean, in the South
Atlantic about 40 degrees south, 40 de-
grees west, and elsewhere; and this,
whether icebergs be near or hundreds
of miles away. Capt. S. T. S. Lecky, r.
N R., to whom the nautical profession
is indebted for his wrinkles in Prac-
teal Navigation was probably the
first to draw the attention of his breth-
ren 10 this fact. In the ninth edition of
his book he points out that ''allied to
fog is the question of danger from ice.
1t is 4. popular delusion among passen-
gers on board ship that, by taking the
temperature of the water at short in
tcrvals, the approach to ice is unfailing-
Iy indicated. Unfortunately such is by
no means the fact, and it is time the idea
was exploded. More than ordinarily
cold water merely shows that the ship is
IN n part of the ocean where ice may
possibly be encountered, and not that
st rs actualy present" Shipmasters of
repute freely confess, with Capt. Evans
OF the Tainui, that they have "never
found sea temperature fall lower when
near ice than when several miles away
from the danger
