A curious profession among the
Bedouin is that of the "thief track

stables, and their animals always

stock would appear to be an easy

however, has it's little company of

stance in which a camel stolen from
a camp near Ismailia was, after
weeks of labor, successfully tracked
to the Sudan, where the beast was
recaptured and summary vengeance
wreaked upon the robbers. Select
ed for natural ability and trained
from boyhood to discriminate be-
tween each animals footprint, this
faculty becomes so highly developed

Some Samples of Spelling.

A Jersey City druggist is making
a collection of the queer orders he
receives from people who send chill
dren to the store for things they
need Here are few samples of
them:
''This child is my little girl. I
sent you five cents to buy two sit
less powders for a groan up adult

Another reads:

An anxious mother writes:
''You will pleas give the lettle boi

Sam Weller,

1t was Sam Weller who made
Dickens famous. "Pickwick Pa
pers" were a complete failure tinan-
cially until this unique character
was introduced. The press was all
but unanimous in praising Samivel
as an entirely original character,
whom none but a great genius could
have created. Dickens received
over SIG, 900 for 'Piokwick Papers, !"
and at the age of 26 he was in
comparably the most popular au-
thor of his day.

done to show the difference in their

CASTING OFF A LINE.
Mr.. Glimby Meets With a Little Expe-
rience on a New York Wharf,

Mr. Glimby Meets With Little Expe-
rience a New York Wharf.
'I'm afraid there's one towboat
captain who would not give me a
job if should apply" said Mr..
Blimby, land that is the man whose
line cast off in South atreet the
other day. The tug was lying along
the end of the wharf, hanging by a
single line, with the loop around the
head of Spite, and the other end
made fast around the forward bits
aboard the boat. The captain was
in the pilothouse, and he called to
the deckhand that he guessed they
would go up to pier 919. I was
standing on the end of the wharf,
and when the deckhand began cast
ing the line off from the bits
started for the spile to cast it off
there.
81 like boats, and I've loafed
along South street a good deal, and
I've seen million men cast off
lines, but it's a funny thing / had
never cast off one myself, but was
going to now. All the men ever
saw cast off line just took hold Of
it and lifted it right off, easy. /
took hold Of this one with perfect
confidence, bat the first thing I
knew it sagged down and stuck on
the other side of the Spite, and it
did the same thing again when 1
tried, whichsI did somewhat hastily
from another point. It didn't come
off easily at all, and finally had to
take hold of it with bpth hands and
lift it up carefully clear Of the Spite,
while the captain, looking out of
the pilothouse window, and the
deckhand, standing by the bits and
looking up at me from the deck,
smiled good humoredly at my clum-
siness.> By that time / had discov-
cred that in casting off a line, as in
most other things, man must learn
how to do it before he can do the
work we'll. But the worst was yet
to come
Il had always observed that when
man cast off a line he hung on to
it for q moment and walked along
the wharf till he was somewhere
near abreast of the man who was
taking it in aboard and then gave it
little toss, SO as to keep it out, Of
the water, keeping it dry to make it
last longer and make it easier and
pleasanter to handle. When I had
finally got this line off, I held on to
it and walked with it toward the
boat to toss the loop aboard, but I
noticed that the man on deck took
up the slack very promptly and full
ly as ] came along, He didn't give
me credit for knowing anything
about keeping the line out of the
water. He was prepared to see me
just simply drop it when 1 struck
the stringpiece, and he was taking
up the slack short SO that he could
keep it out of the water himself
when l let go.
And SO they sailed away, per-
fectly good natured about it, but
very evidently taking me for a
landlubber just down from the
hills. New York Sun.

ANCIENT MONUMENTS.
A Prehistoric Race That Built Hills OF
Their Own


A Prehistoric Race That Built Hills OF
Their Own.
Within an hours ride of the CITY
of Mexico the traveller can reach one
of the many ancient ruins that dot
this country and whose history was
as mysterious when Cortes landed
as it is now. The pyramids of the
sun and moon are near the little
city of San Juan Teotihuacan, on the
line OF the Mexican railway. From
the evidences that are still to be
found about these ancient monu-
ments they once stood in the midst
OF an extensive city extending at
least several miles from them in ey-
cry direction. Viewed from the
railroad, the pyramids do not ap-
pear very formidable because the
eye compares their height with that
of the small mountain, Cerro Gordo.
near by. Janvier gives the follow
ing detailed information about these
evidences of a prehistoric civiliza-
ton: The pyramid of the sun, ac-
cording to the very careful meas
urements of Senior Garcia Cubas, is
ZIG feet qohes high, with base
ISL feet b, 721 feet z inches square.
The platform on the top is SO feet
from north to south by los feet
from ease to west. The pyramid of
the moon is $50 feet II inches high,
with a base 511 feet by 426 feet
inches and browning platform 10
feet inches square. The only en-.
trance as yet discovered is found on
the southern face of the pyramid of
the moon at height of IS feet from
the ground. This gives inlet to
narrow descending gallery, inter-
rupted by a deep, square well, the
walls Of which are laid up with
carefully squared stone.
The axis of this gallery (observa-
ton of Senior Garcia Cubas) coin
cides exactly with the magnetic
meridian. Beyond the gallery the
interior remains unexplored The
pyramid of the sun has not been en-
tered at all. To the south of the
pyramid OF the sun is a large earth
work known as the ciudadela (cita-
deD, a square inclosed by mound
averaging 1862 feet thick by 80 feet
high. In the center of the inclosed
square is small pyramid, and upon
the inclosing earthworks are IA
small pyramids disposed at regular
intervals. In the neighborhood of
the pyramids are great numbers of
tumbuli, isolated and grouped. The
most notable group of tumuli is that
which borders the so called Gale de
los muertes (the street of the dead).
This curious causeway begins near
the citadel and, passing the west
ern face of the pyramid of the sun,
ends at the southern front of the
pyramid of the moon, there widen
ing out into d large circle, in the
center of which is tumulus. MANY
of the tumuli have been opened, dis
closing in some cases boxes of
wrought stone inclosing a skull and
ornaments of obsidian and pottery.
In other cases in the tumuli along
the sides of the streets of the dead)
only empty chambers have been
found. The conclusion arrived at
by Senior Orazooy Berra in regard
to these very curious remains,
mainly based upon the wide diver
gence from any known types of the
clay masks found in what may be
assumed to be the older of the
tombs, is that they are the work of
a race older than either Toltecs or
Acolhuas, of which only these mon
uments now remain. Modern Mex
leo.
