For n Masterpiece.
Here is a story about q picture which
hangs in tho ruined church of Tzinzunt-
zan, Mexico and which the Mexican Her
aid asserts is genuine Titan, which,
though the average traveller knows moth
ing about, has been visited by artists from
all parts of the globe who have made the
journey to Mexico solely for the purpose Of
seeing this canvas, and they have all de-
clared that the picture was well worth the
trip
The famous picture hangs in one of the
old ruined churches The padre himself
Will point out the way and stay with you
whilo you are there. The entrance to the
auditorium Of the church is through a
long, dark corridor that leads up to great
door, barred and chained and padlocked-
that seemed to carry you back to the old
feudal days and make ono think that the
doors of some old castle were being opened
to him.
The door opens into an inner room as
dark as night, the padre unfGstens graf

the lake and falls full upon tho picture

DlANA'S MIRROR.

The Nemi Lake in Latium to BE Sold
at Auction.
The Nemi lake. in Latium, is by a
judicial decree to be sold by auction.
In classic times, says the London
Daily Graphic, it was bounded by a
vast forest, the whole region was sa-
cred to Diana and the bright surface
of the lake was called Speculum Di-
anae, or Diana's Mirror. There was a
temple of the goddess beside the lake
and it's priest was in the early days
of the empire the liking of the grove
whose precarious existence is recorded
in Dean Farrar's darkness and Dawn
He was generally an escaped criminal,
who "slew the slayer and should him
self be slain''-that is, he held the
shrine by the right of having slain
the last hermit-priest, till he himself
were dispossessed by violent death.
In imperial times the lake and its
shores were the scene of many patri-
clan water fetes and the playground OF
the court of Tiberius. A few years ago
one of the royal triremes, three
decker, was discovered here deeply SUBJ
merged. 1t yielded rich treasure
trove in coins, bronze heads of lions
and tigers and bronze effgy of Me-
dusa. The inscriptions showed that the
trireme was dedicated to Diana. The
Lake is believed to be rich in archaic
treasures and records of the court of
Tibcrius and the cult of Diana.

3 TWO CROWNS OF; IRON.

One Made Of Gun Metal and One Car.
ries q Nail from the Cross.
The crown of Roumania is composed
of gun metarmade, in fact, out of a
bit of old cannon captured at Plevna;
that of Portugal has gems in it which
have caused it to. be valued at S., oOo, 900.
The iron Grown of Lombardy, which,
by the by, is the oldest diadem in Eu-
rope, is only six inches in diameter.
The question usually asked by those
who behold it for the first time is:
Where is the iron? For to all appear
ances the crown consists of broad
circle of gold ornamented by an enam-
cling of flowers. This, however, is but
the outward case-within the coronet
rests the iron itself. It is fashioned
out of one of the. nails. BY which Christ
was fastened to the cross. The crown
now rests in the Cathedral Of ,Monsa,
Italy, and is. under the. care Of the
monks Of the establishment. These
holy men, call attention to the fact that
while no attempt has ever been made to
clean the baser metal, still there is no
sign of rust upon it-a fact!which con-
clusively proves its sacred origin.

The witness made no reply, says the
Cleveland Leader.

Still no response from the Witness

FASTEST "BLlND" TYPEWRITER.

Miss Darlington, of Boston. Makes
Two Remarkable Records.
Boston claims the fastest blindfoldsd
typewriter. She is Miss May E. Car
rington. A few days ago she wrote
from dictat ton 1903 words of unfamiliar
matter and 144 words of familiar mat
ter. That it is claimed is the record
for blindfold writing. The trial was
made before few friends in the bust
ness Office of the firm by whom Miss
Darlington is employed as secretary
and bookkeeper.
When she had finished it was found
that she had not averaged one mistake
in three minutes writing. The method
of touch writing used by Miss Car
rington is becoming more and more
widely used, and many unlettered key
boards are, ordered from the manufac-
turers. In order to use such machine
one has to learn its Keyboard as he
would that Of a piano, and finger e1-
ercises play an important part in prac-
tice.
To master touch writing does not
take long, as would be imagined, three
or four months being about all that is
required. But to acquire the speed Miss
Darlington possesses is q different
thing. Most "touch typewriters" reach
q speed of only so or 60 words minute,
as against her LA. The use of the type
writer is now taught in institutions for
the education of the blind.

SPANKED THE WRONG PERSON

A Chicago Woman's Funny Attempt to
Suppress Cocl<hghting. u
The Bridgeman family have a good
joke on mater, reports the Chicago
Hmes-Herald. She had promised ten
year-old Dick a spanking if he brought
Tim Rogers and his game chickens into
the basement again.
One night when she went down to see
that everything was secure she found
unmistakable signs of battle. Then
she remembered that Dick had been
unusually quiet and we'll behaved at
dinner and had gone to bed early. So
she went upstairs with stern deter
mination in her soul, for the mill of
maternal justice grinds surely in the
Bridgeman family.
Straight to Dicks room she went, and
ii her heart softened at sight of the
quiet figure in the bed and the dark
head outlined against the pillow it did
not stay her hand. She turned down
the bedclothes and vigorously applied
the slipper. Instantly a roar came
forth in the bass of her grown-up son.
Thunder and blazes, mother, what
the deuce is the matter2"
There was an explosive smoker from
under the bed, but Mother Rridgeman
was too used up to trace the snicker
to it's lair. And Dick didn't get prom
Used spanking.

ADJOURNED COURT TO FIGHT.
A Judge Who Enjoyed a Little Bout
HfmaeIf.


Judge Wilson Hammock, who died at
Lebanon, Tenn, in February last, was
among the most gifted men the state
ever produced, says the Glasgow, ,Ky.)
News. Unfortunately he became in.
yolyed in quarrel during his. early
manhood and took the life of fellow
man. Although exonerated by the jury
the intimate friends of the judge are
inclined to the belief that his future life
was, in a measure, controlled by his
early misfortune. However, if man
ever lived who enjoyed q fight, that
man was Judge Hammock. He bore
no malice and no marks when an ARRAY
was ended, but fellow in search of
trouble never went begging when the
judge was in the community, and the
same man never went in search the Sec
oHd time. During his term as circuit
Judge of the Huntsville district wan
ton insult was given by an attorney at
the bar. In an orderly and quiet way
Judge Hammock ordered the sheriff to
adjourn court for two minutes. Then
walking outside the rostrum, he picked
up. chair and shattered it to, pieces
over the offenders head. "Call the court
to order" said he to the officer and, re-
Stunning his place on the bench, re-
marked: "Gentlemen, when anyone
cares to insult this court, let nothing

JACK TARs WOULDN'T TOAST
An Amusing Story, About Some Eng
lish and German Sailors.

An Amusing Story About Some Eng
lish and German Sailors. -
I heard the other evening in rail-
way carriage an amusing story with
regard to: English and German jack
tars, says q writer in the London
Sketch. It was told of, the members
of the crews of two ships engaged in
the recent blockade of Crete. These
tars were engaged in festal gather
ing ashore and one of the Germans pro-
posed the health of his omniscient en-
peror, which was duly drunk by the
assembled party of both nationalities.
Presently the English boatswain sug-
gested that the name of her most gra-
cious majesty should be toasted with
similar honors, but the tars of the IA
therland received the proposal with a
chilling silence. .55.
"Ain't you a-goin' to drink the
queens health 2" came the English in
quiry.
''"'Nein, nein," was the Germanic re-
Spouse. W s.
''Now, then, boys" exclaimed the
boatswain, II don't want any unpleas-
santness, but we: can't have this, you
know; faint fair. Take yer time from
me; two fngerssd down vert hroats, and
up comes the b!oomin emperor" 4.

TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE.
One Will BE Seen by the People OF
America ON May 70, 1000.

One Will BE Seen by the People OF
America ON May 70, 1000.
The people of America will have
very unusual chance to see total solar
eclipse right here at home on. May %,
1900. Astronomers are even now study
ing the meteorological tables for past
years in order to find the localities
promising clearest skies, says the
Washington Post.
The line of totality first touches the
continent on the Pacific. coast of Mex
leo, north of Cape Corientes, pursuing a
northeast course, leaving Mexico at the
mouth of the Rio Grande, crossing the
gulf of Mexico and entering: the United
States at Atchafalaya bay, Louisiana.
The breadth of the. line is about 50
miles. The eclipse will be total at New
Orleans at about s22 a. M, Washington
time The eclipse will be visible in
Macon, Raleigh, Norfolk and inter-
mediate and neighboring points.
Crossing the ocean, the land first
touched is near the port of Coimbra,
Spain, passing southeast across south
ern Europe and the Mediterranean sea.
Thus all the astronomers in both hem
ispheres will be within easy distance
and with every facility for using any
amount of instrumental equipment.
The. greatest duration will be two min
utes nine seconds, about the middle of
the Atlantic ocean.

a PETRlFIEp SNAKE.
reTfectly Porme 4. and fourteen Feet

Perfectly Formed and fourteen Feet
81 I'll In Length.
Near the Cascade three miles from
Snsqu hanna, Pa., q party Of bluestone
auarrymen lately found round stone
projecting from the ground. It was in
the way Of teams hauling stones, and
I the men attempted to pull it up. The
foreman instructed his men to dig up
the stone and get it out Of the way, says
the Kansas City Journal.
They dug down a few feet, but did
not reach the end Of it. Another effort
was made torpull it out. and it broke off.
They continued to throwup,t the earth,
and as a result three long pieces were
broken off,. At last the foreman con-
cluded to see where it ended. After
several hours were consumed in the
work the end was reached, The men
were surprised to find, when they fin
ished their work, a perfectly formed
serpent's head and neck.
The foreman at once concluded that
they had unearthed a petrifed serpent.
The pieces were placed together and
formed a perfect snake II feet long.
The eyes, nostrils and mouth are dis
tinct and Enthusiastically marked, as are
the dark and lighter brown spots upon
the sides. The head is about six inches
wide and decreases one-third in thick
ness from the top down.
The neck gradually grows smaller,
and then the body increases in size until
the middle is reached, where the diam
eter is six inches. From that point it
declines to the tail. One piece is miss
ing, evidently about one foot in length.
The petrifaction of what are supposed
to have been the feshy parts of the
monster has a color corresponding to
red sandstone, while that of the verte-
brR is several shades lighter and softer.

USED AFLoAT AND ASHORE.
The Middle-Aged Mean Discovers the
World.TYfde Use 0f the Huckxaxx

The Middle-Aged Man Discovers the
Worldwide Use OF the Bucksaw.
The bucksaw in any MIND" said the
middle-aged man, according to the
New York Sun, sis indelibly associated
with q sawbuck--the reach between
the two KS half sawed through, where
it had been scored by the saw dropping
down upon it-standing by wood pile
in the back yard. There are chips scat
tered around on the ground, and scraps
Ct bark and more or less sawdust.
what brings all this to my mind is
the sight of o man saving wood with a
bucksaw on the decksef schooner ly-
ing at 3 South street wharf, stick of
cordwood resting in thessawbuck, and
the man with his knee on it and saving
away just as he would ashore. At first
this looked strange; and SO it does still
to some extent. had seen sawbucks
and bucksaws on the decks of canal
boats, where they looked natural
enough, because the canal boat is usual
~ close by the land, where one could
step to or from it easily; but I could
scarcely make the bucksaw seem
familiar on saltwater craft, because
it seemed to me so essentially thing of
the land.
FINALLY, did make it seem all right
ON the schooner, though, by thinking of
that as vessel making short voyages
and keeping near land, and hauling up,
maybe, in creeks, close by the shore, and
as being: in various ways intimately as
ISOLATED with the land; but couldn't
think of it as being used at sea. But
when came to think it over I knew, of
course, they must have some way of
saving wood aboard deep-water ships,
and when I came to inquire I learned
that the bucksaw is used af1oat just as
it is ashore; it is piled on ship thou
sand miles at sea just as it would be on
q farm"
