there to New Orleans, and then to New

York September 6, 1888, to walk around
the world in ten years on wager OF
$4,000, with the condition that he made
$4,000, He now has $4,682 Of the
amount If he wins he will get both
sums. In addition, he has jewelry and
presents to the value Of over 81, 1000. He
has visited every country in the Old
World, and has letters from all the
rulers. He has also visited every State
in the Union, except Texas. He has q
piece Of the rope that hung Duestrow,
the st. Louis murderer, and is going to
Paris, Tex, to get piece OF the iron
that was in the fire that burned that
colored man a few years ago. A press
representative goes with him all the
time, changing every three months. he
expects to reach New York by July, and
get his $4,000. He has shipped twenty
four trunks Of presents home, besides
bushels Of letters The only place he

When the sheep can eat no more, the
women Of the house feed it, and it is no
uncommon sight to see woman going
out to make an afternoon call loading
her sheep by a string and carrying q
basket of mulberry leaves on her arms
Having arrived at her friends house, she
squats on the ground, rolls a ball OF mul-
berry leaves in her right hand and slips
it into the sleeps mouth, then works
the sleeps jaw up and down with the
other hand till she thinks the mouthful
has been chewed enough, when she
thrusts it down the throat Of the unfor'
tunste animal. The funny part OF the
business is that probably half a dozen
gossips Of the village are seated around
the yard, all engaged at the same opera
tion. OF course the sheep get immensely
fat, and that is the object; for at the
killing time the fat is tried out and put
into Jars as meat for the winter.

The Sheep Of Lebanon.

Harry Fem, the artist, has written Tor
st. Nicholas an account OF his visit to
the famous cedars Of Lebanon, which
place is also noted for its silk. Mr.. Fem
says: "Wherever q handful OF earth

a mulberry plant grows. 1t Is pic
turesque and thrilling sight to see q boy
lowered by a rope over the p.ecipice,
carrying a big basket of earth and cut

hanging garden. The crop OF leaves,
fodder for the worms, is gathered in the
same way. BY such patient and danger
GUS industry have these hardy noun
taineers been able to make their
wilderness Of rock blossom into brightly
colored silks. Not a single Leaf is left
on the trees by the time the voracious
worms get ready to spin their cocoons

curious use ia made OF that.

has had no assistance in the mechanical
part Of his labors, save that Of his young
son, George G, sohreiber, Jr.
Some Of the names OF towns and rivers
cannot be read with the naked eye, such
is the minuteness OF the work, but
examination with a magnifying glass

most delicate care. The drawing and
lettering throughout is that Of a skilled
engrayer. From the mechanical point
OF view the globe is q work Of art. All
distances are measured with mathemat-
ical nicety, and are said to be absolutely
accurate.
One feature of the big globe is in the
designation Of the gradually lessening
widths Of the degrees Of latitude from
the equator to the poles On Mr.
Schreiber's globe these widths are care
fully marked, while they are thus given
on no other map.
Many offers have been made Mr.
schreiber for his wonderful production
but thus far none have been considered
He is said to have been offered $4,000 fol

Whether he can ever be induced to part
with it is a matter Of conjecture. Ill

From the Globe-Democrat.
The English nation has no written
constitution. The Government Of Eng
land is based upon certain charters,
grants, royal edicts, concessions and'
above all, upon mass Of precedents,
the theory being that what has once
been done may be repeated and that Its
being done the first time must have been
by authority. The foundation-stone OF
British liberty is the magma Charta'" OF
Great Charter, which the Barons OF
England compelled King John to sign
in 1915. The provisions OF the Great
Charter have been confirmed by over
fifty acts Of Parliament between l2lo
and the present day, and thus this Ia
nous instrument is, in q certain sense,
the law of the land now, as it has been
for over GOO years. The fact that the
English have no written constitution
must not be understood to signify thai
they are not tenacious OF their llbertles'
for, as matter Of fact, the unwritten
precedent, handed down as it is, by ira
dition, from father to son, generation
after generation, 10 quite as binding aa
though it had been drawn up in specific
form and given the authority OF legal
enactment. The "Magna ChaEta de-
fined the prerogatives Of the King, stated
definitely what the monarch might and
might not demand OF his subjects, fixed
the position Of the nobility and what
duties they owed to the sovereign, and
provided, with great particularly, tol
the protection OF artisans, farmers anc
laboreFs, forbldding craftsmen's tools tc
be seized for debt, or a laborer's agricul
tural implements, furniture or clothing
TO be distrained. 1t was thus, IN very
broad sense, constitution, fixing tn
social, political and industrial status 0

The Largest and Best Globe.


cago Times. Herald, Mr.. George O.
Schreiber of Lincoln, ILL.,, is now COM
pleting what he says is the largest
geographical globe in the world.
Graduated from German universities
Mr., Schneider is not only an expert map
maker, but is an authority on geography
A little more than three years ago he
conceived the idea of building a globe
which would surpass all other globes
not only in size, but in accuracy OF DETAIL
Schreiber prepared bis plans for the
monster sphere with care, and has
Systematically put them into operation.
The frame of the globe consisted OF a
skeleton of cast iron rods radiating from
a steel pipe, which forms the axis; the
pine was perforated and the rods we're
received into it, being carefully gradu-
ated in length. Then common telegraph
wire was used, network being woven
over the ends of the rods. He covered
the wire network with several layers OF
stout building paper, glueing each sheet
smoothly to the surface.
Then the globe was a grayish black
sphere 5 feet in diameter, the exact shape
Of the earth, being slightly fattened at
the poles. It was ready for Mr., Schneider
to begin work upon,
Not much time was required to lay on
the integument of the great mass lie
has used wood pulp and papier mache,
but neither was satisfactory. After
wears Of experimenting he invented q
oomposition which serves the purpose
better than anything yet discovered
Sawdust sifted in through cheesecloth
until it is as fine as -four is mixed with
the cheapest grade of varnish known, anc
the outer covering is ready. Schneider
covered the big sphere with layer
quarter Of an inch deep of this material
Then he marked off the degrees oflati
tude and longitude, and laid off the en-
tire surface of the globe in half-inci
squares, half an inch of the globe beinl
equivalent to degree OF latitude. Fo
the past three years he has spent eigh
hours daily preparing this map OF tn
world.
The maps are in relief, every ocean
lake and river being carved out OF tn
surface. All lines or names are engrave'
out Of the surface with sharp pointe
tools, and then filed with paint, whic
imparts pleasing effect and also allow
more delicate minuteness Of detail tina
il the names were put on with pen an
ink. The route of every railroad an
canal in the world is accurately repre-
sented, as we'll as the various steamshi
routes.
His collection of maps is immense, an
not a map Of any importanceis publishe
that he does not procure Immediately
BY careful study Of his immense co
lection of maps and with the aid
industrious correspondence ne has mao
his globe nearly perfect.
That one person should possess SUI
cient patience to complete this great Wcl
