Manners Makyth Man"

Wlllam of Wykeham, a fourteenth
century Bishop of the See of Wincbes
ter, was not only a great clergyman
ana a great statesman, but one of the
greatest builders Of the Middle Ages
he was the founder of Winchester Col
lege, Which is the oldest of all the
English public schools; he was the chief
architect of the Cathedral of wjnches-
ter; and when the King wanted new
wing on his castle at Windsor he Or
dered Wykeham to build it. Wykeham
was SO proud of his work that he chis-
elled on 1T, "Hoc fecft Wykeham''
(Wykeham made this. At this the
King was very angry, for ne thought
he had built the castle himself. and
Wykeham would perhaps have lost his
head If he had not kept his wits about
him. He explained that il was his
greatest glory to be the builder OF his
Kings palace, and that the inscription
should read, This was the Making of
Wykeham." The translation was clever
enough; and though the King was prob
ably not deceived, Wykeham kept his
head ON his shoulders Perhaps the
King would have been sorry to lose Sc
valuable man. At any rate, you
can see the inscription to-day from the
north terrace, and the incident throws
no little light on the sincerity of the
motto on the Winchester arms, Man
ners Makyth Man" "-Harper's Round

IngersoIl and the Minister.

On one occasion, when Ingersoll was
in Georgia, he occupied a seat with {
minister in a Pullman sleeper.
For an hour or more he had sat by
the minister, who was reading, and no
a word had passed between them.
Presently a man came through th'
car and, approaching the minister:
companion said:
Colonel Ingersoll, how do you do?'
The minister was startled. He rose
from his seat and addressing Inger'
soil, asked:
rs this Colonel Robert G.. Ingersoll?'
He received an affirmative answer
Then he seized his satcheI and beat 6
hasty retreat.
He found the conductor in the smok
ing car, approached him, and said:
II have been in hell two hours"
The conductor eyed him suspiciously
and then said:
And where are you going now?"
ITO ---," naming a Georgia towr
which at that time was fairly simmer
ing with the heat of the summer sun
Well" exclaimed the conductor, Il
seems to me that if I'd been in hell TIVE
hours ! shouldn't want to go bacl

Processes for Excavation.

In mining for gold in Siberia the
ground is kept clear of snow, so as TO
perrnit the cold to penetrate as deeply as
rcssible after which the surface is
thaved by fires until shallow layer OF
earth can be removed The freezing is
then allowed to proceed and the thaW-
ing operation repeated, and this is con-
tinued as long as the cold weather lasts.
In this way. according to the Engineer
ine Magazine, through the long Siber an
winters open excavations are made 10
the gold-bearing rocks, the depth at
tained being from twenty-five to seven
ty-five feet, according to the duration
of the cold season.
Artificial cold for purposes OF excava-
tion was used first by Poetsch in 1858;
by his we'll known process of the circu-
lation of cold brine through a series OF
buried pipes the most difficult quicksand
NAV be made hard enough to be exca-
waited like rock. In the article under
consideration are given general 1llustra-
tions and details of the apparatus used
in sinking the shaft at the Courrleres
mines, together with formulas enabling
the safe thickness of frozen wall to be
computed for round or square shafts OF
any given dimensions.
Among the important applications OF
the freezing process are noted the sink
ing of the shafts for the cylinders OF the
hydraulic elevator for the canal lift at
Les Fontinettes and the construction OF
the tunnel at Stockholm. The latter
work was executed entirely by the in ro-
duction of cold air into the working
chamber at the head of the tunnel the
cold preventing the infiltration Of water
until the beton lining was built and the
work of excavating and lining being car
ried on at temperatures ranging between
no degrees and Twenty-Five degrees
Fahrenheit.-New York Herald.

FOUND DEAD BY THE RIVER.
MYSTERY oF AN UNKNOWN
UNFORTUNATE.
He Was Seen Alive in the Morning
His Neck Found to be
Broken

Yesterday morning two young men
named Martin and Armstrong found a
man lying beside the railroad track at
Front and P streets.
After looking the stranger over, Mar
tin and Armstrong came to the conelu-
sion that he was drunk. and consider
ateIy carried him into the shade OF a
bush that grew on the verge or the
river bank. about twenty feet from the
track. and left him TO sober up. When
found. the mans face was partially
buried in the sand, as though he had
pitched heavily forward. He was alive
when they left him, and though unable
to speak. they thought little of the mat
ter
About S o'clock last evening they
passed the bush under which they had
placed the supposedly drunken man.
and were not surprised to find that ne
was gone.
The young men were in the act of
leaving the place, when dog Whleil
was with them began TO show signs OF
unusual excitement down the bank anu
near the edge of the water They m
vestigated and found the stranger they
had cared for in the morning lying
within a few inches Of the water ana
stone dead. The body had lodged
against a board at the brink of the
river.
Coroner Clark was notified and took
charge of the remains. The body IS
that of a man about five feet eight
inches in hight and weighing about
1G5 pounds. He was of light complex
ion, had a heavy. sandy moustache' ana
was dressed in a light cotton shirt
overalls. dark coat and gaiter shoes
There was nothing whatever on the
body which might lead to identff1eatlon.
An examination showed that the
mans neck had been broken, and the
Coroner's deputies are inclined TO be-
lieve that he fell from the Folsom pas
senger train which passed few min
utes before he was found, and that his
injury was received at that time In
his death-throes, 1t is believed, he rolled
from the bank and down to the river

Sayings of Children.

Here are three true stories which
were sent in a letter from A. w. Thay-
er. the Beethoven biographer, to a
friend in New York:
At Stout. on the Nile, May Wright
is showing pictures of Jesus, angels and
the like to the little darkies, children of
her colored nurse. One asks: If l
should die and go to heaven, should
| be an angel and have wings? No,
SAYS wise May. the Lord Jesus has no
black feathers to make wings for you. "
The Rev. Mr. Thorndike of Trieste,
after a lesson upon the patriarch's s
wives in the Sunday school, put ques-
tions:
who was Abraham's Wife,?

who was Isaac's wife?"
"Rebecca.'
who were Jacobs wives?"
Leah and Rachael"
What were Leah and Rachel to Ja-
cob?'

system that l thought demanded the
attention of a DOCTOR but aunt prides
herself ON knowing more than half the

a high priced physician just to relieve
a few bruises. OF course. I was sore

The first remedy administered was
catsup tea. which / took with that re-
bellious spirit begotten of childhood ex-
perience Then wild onion poultices
were scattered judfciously over my per-
son. Failure of relief caused my feet
to be soaked in hot water and wood
ashes. the lye distilled becoming so ag-
gressive that I kicked the bucket over
and repudiated the treatment.
This was accepted as a premonition
Of brain fever. and a red-hot mustard
draft was applied to the back of my
neck. To the same end my head was
thoroughly soaked in spring water. 1
entered a special complaint as to
my side. and a poultice of grated horse
radish was the answer. In response to
a demand for some exhilarant l was
given sasafras tea. I was disposed to

they had been very charitable. One

lady was getting into her carriage, the
cid woman appeared and began:

or, this morning, Of all the days in the
year; for, sure, didn't / drame last
night that yer ladyshfp gave me a

ways go by the rule of contrary?"
DO they, so plase yer honor?" re-

be yer honor that will give me the tay
and her ladyship that will give me the
tobacco. It'll Bits.
