1t Was a Hot July Day, but He Kept His

1t was IL Of the hottest days that dis

"No, you WON'T" laughed the other.
"Ill be used to it in "a little bit. Don't

"No, 1 don't see," replied the stout
one, who began to think he was dealing
with a lunatic. "When a man tells me

A Burmese School.

The uproar was like that Of a run
away engine tearing through a tunnel.
The floor was Uttered with youngsters
lying on their stomachs, and all baw1-
ing with an energy indicative that
somebody was hurting them. Long,
slim, scratched upon slips of palm Leaf,
the equivalent of books in Burma,
We're spread before the scholars. Making
the lads shout is the approved method
Of elementary instruction. When the
master discovers any tagging in lung
exercise, a long switch begins to sing
through the air. Quiet, serious study is
exploded. The Burmese educationists
argue that $ long as a boy is shouting
his mind is occupied. When he is silent,
he is certain to be scheming mischief.
Therefore the best shouters are the best
pupils. -Travel.

1t was as impossible for the old vet
eran to relate "A tale unscalloped with
falsities as it was for a humorist to sup
port a wife and eight children.
Did / ever tell We how we licked the
Spaniards back i'll '66, " began the old
veteran as he met the deacon coming
out of the side door of "a beer garden.
Nope, don't b'lieve We hev," an
swered the deacon, nervously stuffing a
tack i'll his mouth instead of "a Glove.
WAL, we he'd a little rumpus with
those Castilians, an they just sends us a
postal card tellin us tew send down one
O. u war tubs an they'd be lined along

WAL, wat did we go an dew, but
paint a great big Bermuda onion on

worked jest like all ther other picturs

"Wuz tibet ther only thing yer ever
he'd paintd on yer boats?" inquired the
deacon.
"No, Stree. But we made one bad
mistake. 1t wuz Wen we were goin tew

READING SEALED LETTERS.
A German Scientist Shows How This May
BE Accomplished.

A German Scientist Shows How This May
BE Accomplished.
1t is not generally known that sealed
letters may in many cases be read with
out opening the envelopes or doing them
the least injury. 1t was discovered by u
German Psychologist by the use of an
embryAcope, or egg glass, that the
shells Of eggs We're of very unequal
thickness.
1t occurred to him to make expert
ments i'll order to ascertain how many
leaves of ordinary letter or official pa
per must be laid above and below a
written leaf in order to make it illegible
to a highly sensitive eye in the direct
sunlight. He found that after he had
rested his eye in a dark room for 10 or
10 minutes he cold read q piece of writ
ing over the mirror of the embryoscope
that had been covered with eight layers
of paper.
He called in other observers to con
firm this. The letters, however, that
could thus be deciphered were written
i'll dark ink Oh one side of the paper
only. Ii four written sides were folded
together, and especially if there had
been crossing, it was hard to make out
the drift of the writing, and there are
some kinds of writing which, when
folded twice or thrice, admit too little
light for the purpose of displacement.
In this way possibly many of the per-
formances of ''clairvoyants'' may be ex-
planned. By means of the egg glass it
is, as a rule, easier to make out the con-
tents of letter or telegram without the
slightest tampering with the envelope
than it is to detect the movements of
the embryo i'll the egg.
Suppose the writer of q billet, the
contents of which are known only to
himself, let's it out of his hand and loses
sight of it for five minutes. 1t may be
readily carried either into the direct
sunlight or into electric or magnesium
light and be read by the aid of the egg
glass. The placing of a piece of car
fridge paper i'll the envelope or the col
oring of it black is a means of defense
at hand.

GRAVE OF PATRICK HENRY.
Not In Richmond, but In Charlotte,
Where He Lived.

Every now and then we see in some
newspaper the query, Where is Pat
rick Henry buried:'' and tourists in
Richmond constantly ask to be shown
his grave, with the mistaken idea that
it is i'll that city, where much of his
public career was passed. Few people
comparatively know that the man who
acquired the title of 1.-The Tongue of
the Revolution" lies i'll a quiet grave
Oh the estate in Charlotte county where
ne formerly lived. Over it is a marble
slab inscribed with one line, His fame
his best epitaph."
The estate lies on Staunton river, SO
miles from the town of Lynchburg, near
the border line which separates Char
lotte and Campbell counties. 1t derived
its name of Red Hill from the peculiar
color of the soil in that vicinity. When
Patrick Henry bought the place, it COM
prised about 3, 500 acres. The land is
rich-there was a saying in the neigh
borhood that poor land and Henry could
never be mentioned together-corn
grows there as high as a man on horse

fields and abundant prosperity. Its sit
uatiOn in early times was very remote.
Neighbors were few, one of the nearest
being the celebrated John Randolph of
Roanoke, who lived in his chosen soli-
tude Is miles away.
Red Hill is now owned by Henry's
grandson, William Writ Henry, a
clever, cultivated gentleman of the
''old school" He has in his possession
some most interesting relics of his cele-
brated grandfather, including the desk
he always used, which still contains his
letters from Lafayette, Washington,
Madison and other great men of early
days; the large, round backed chair in
which Patrick Henry died and a portrait
of him by the elder Sully, under which
hangs a yellowed slip of paper, signed
by Chief Justice John Marshall and
several others of his friends, testifying
to the faithfulness Of the likeness. -

Cruel Spauiards.

Spanish officers as we'll as men gener-
ally incline to cruelty and treachery.
Here is a story in point, told by an ex-
cellent authority:
"In Alcala, the Guardia Civil-that
is, one of the crack troops-was after a
robber band. One of the robbers was
caught. Being promised a full pardon,
he gave away his comrades. This man
had no. ooner signed the paper that
served as his death warrant for his late
friends when the officer in charge said,
We will begin with him. The robber
was Immediately shot in the back of his
head"

GENERAL MILES
 SICK WITH FEVER Result of Exposure in His Porto
 Rican Campaign HE IS CONFINED TO HIS BED The Attack is Said to Be of Malarial Character, and Has Caused Ne Approximations to the Gener-
 al or His Friends.
HE IS CONFINED TO HIS BED

Washington September 15.-General Miles is confined to his bed with touch of fe- yer, resulting in part from the work and exposure in. his recent campaigns. The general has been ailing for some days, and although he came to army headquarters for two hours yesterday, there was already some evidence of fever. Today the fever symptoms were rather more marked, and the physician who was called insisted upon the generals remaining in bed.
 The attack causes no apprehension to the general or his friends. It is said to be of a malarial character, like much of the fever developed after exposure in southern attitudes
 General Miles family and friends have been urging him to leave Washington and take a complete rest at some watering re- sort. He has resisted this, not being will ing to admit that the campaign had made some inroads on his health. It Is now be- lieved, however, that he will yield to the advice of physicians and friends and take a vacation at some quiet resort. Owing to the strong recuperative powers of General Miles, it is hoped at army headquarters that he will be up and about very soon.
 General Miles report on the Porto Rico campaign is not likely to be submitted for some time for the general has not yet got thoroughly started on the work, and now his illness is likely to make a further postponement. The reports of most of the
