BOGUS ANCIENT MANUSCRIPT.
The Alleged Treasures Were Faxed" In
Central Asia.


Central Asia.
OrieuUalists will do well to be on
their guard in connection with Central
Asian manuscripts, which have Of late
provided them with such an endless
subject of discussion, says the Scots
man. 1t was Capt. Bower who first
discovered the existence Of some ex-
tremely ancient manuscripts during
his great journey across central Asia,
and DR.. Sven Hedin brought back a
rich collection for the edification and
justification of orientalists. Since
then the supply of ancient manuscripts
has been very great, but it is stated
that the gravest suspicion Is now cast
upon the authenticity of a very large
proportion of these so-called relics of
antiquity.
An English officer who is now en-
gagged in some exploring work in Cen
trail Asia has discovered that there
exists in Khotan a regular manufac-
tory of the manuscript relics, and SO
large is the output that he believes
that at least 95 per cent of the manu-
scripts which have reached Europe
from central Asia during recent years
are spurious. The process of manu-
facture has been explained to him, and
so impressed is he with the difficulty
of distinguishing between the genuine
and the counterfeit that he has him
self adopted a rule of never under any
circumstances buying any ancient book
offered to him for sale. Meanwhile
there is much searching of hearts
among the owners Of the manuscripts
which have already found their way
into European collections.

FROM THE FROG.
ONE May Get Some Valuable Lessons En-
Swimming.

Swimming.
WASHINGTON Star: GA swimmer, no
matter whether he Is a beginner or an
expert, cannot improve upon the adj
vice of his great-grandfather, which IS
to go to a brook or swamp and study
the name and methods OF the frog"
remarked an ex-champion of the New
York Athletic club to a writer for the
Star recently. "The most expert swim
mers in the world are tyros compared
to the LATEST bulTfrogs. The difficulty
with all swimmers is that they spoil
the effect of the stroke by the recovery.
When a frog starts off he draws his legs
carefully and slowly up under him un-
til he is in the position of a man sit
ting on his launches. Then he sud-
denly gives a mighty spring in the
water, kicking his legs out, behind
him, but almost directly crosswise.
After the kicks his legs are slowly
drawn together by his motion through
the water until they hang out behind
him in a perfectly rigid form. Every
toe of his web feet is held out as
straight as an arrow and then nothing
retards his motion through the water.
Then again he slowly and carefully
/ draws his legs in and repeats the per-
Torrance. You will notice that in
drawing the legs up to his body for a
second kick the frog recedes a little.
| This is owing to the action Of the up
per leg on the water, and it CORE
| spends exactly with the similar move
ment on the part of a a The first
thing a frog does is to give his body
a. good start through the water, and he
holds himself in such a way that ht
gets the whole value of the stroke. A
man starts out with just such a kick
hut after he has gone two or three fee
he will begin to swing his hands for
ward or draw up his legs in such
fashion that they offset the Who'll
value Of his work. He stops his owl
body half way before the effect OF tn
stroke has spent itself"

BOOTBLACK TRUST
PROTECTIVE LEAGUE STARTED
IN NEW YORK.
Must Be Over Sixteen-Regular Scale OF
Prices to BE Fixed and Free Shines
of Shoe Stores to BE O~pposed-The
President Talks. "

That presumably down-trodden yet
cheerful toiler, the bootblack, has de-
termined to assert himself and strug-
gle for his rights. Individually, he
says, he has many grievances which
he hopes to have rectified collectively.
In the near future the bootblacks of
Greater New York hope to become a
power for their own good.
The "Bootblacks' Protective league"
has already been organized in that city
and. according to the statement of G.
P. C~aggiano, its president, is already
in a 1ourishing condition. The mem
bership, he said, is now 500. 1t is
hoped to make it ten times that num-
Der in a short time, and to put on a
hrm basis a proposed scale of prices
for various kinds of Shines"
If the organization can accomplish
~bootblack, who polishes shoes for from
2 to 5 cents, is numbered. The union
men are going to try and drive him
out of business. They want no N
who is not 16 years old in the trade.
Circulars containing a set of resolu-
lions adopted by the league have been
printed in English and Italian. They
will be sem to every bootblack in the
city with an invitation to join the
league.
President Caggiano and six members
of the law committee met last night at
IAN Mott otroot T1ory roca1uo1 10
draw up a bill which they will sub
NIT to the league for approval. 1t
will then be sent to the legislature.
Just what it's scope will be has not
been determined. 1t will contain many
provisions that the bootblacks hope
to have made law.
"I think it is time that the boot
black trade should be recognized" said
Caggiano. cit is our purpose to or
ganize a branch Of our league in every
assembly district of Greater New York.
We want to have uniform prices estab-
lished throughout the city and the
practice of free shines and 'polishes'
in shoe stores stopped. In most all
of the large shoe stores a free boot
black stand is placed. That helps
take the bread and butter out Of our
mouths. We want these free stands
prohibited and also we want all stands
licensed whether on the streets or IN
side of barber shops, ferries, stations,
| clubs, shops and steamboats,. The
| present license of IS for a street boot
| black stand is too high and we want
it reduced. 1t is not the intention OF
| the league to hurt the wandering boot
| black Of the street. He must, however,
be an artist and charge at least 8
cents for a shine and 10 cents for a
polish. Boys under 16 years old are
to be debarred from membership in
the league. We NEAR to make our
selves felt politically, if necessary"
said one member of the law committee
at a recent meeting.

TOPICS.

Leslie Bassett, thirteen years old is
riding across the many miles of prai-
RE between Colorado and the Missouri
river. The idea Of making this jaunt
across three states struck the boy last
winter. Attempts to persuade him to
abandon the trip were useless. An
ticipating that highwaymen might at
tack him, he practiced with a revolver,
INC on his departure carried a gun
The boy wears a bicycle suit, carries
40 baggage and only q little money.
He is an accomplished amateur enter
tainer, and relies on his ability in this
line to win the shekels Of the Kansans
and obtain accommodations en- route.
The Philadelphia Times publishes
the following letter from a perplexed
reader: Gan you inform me whether
the shirt waist proposed for the male
sex is to be the sport Of fashion and
to pass from cambria to silk, having
pompadour sleeves at the shoulders,
or is it for this season to fit snugly to-
the arms? Can p~ercaTes be worn. and
is organdy permissible? Is it to be
belted at the waist and end there, or
is it to preserve a masculine continuity
Endorsed by older practices? OF course,
If we must wear shirt waists, we want
to wear the right thing, and we seek
authority. Yours. faithfully, Doubt and
Anxiety"
A writer in Bird Lore says: Several
years ago, when in a Western town,
I was taken to a neighbours to see his
birds. Four cages swung in the shell
ter of a c~ommodious porch. One con-
tanned a r%edwinged blackbird that had
been taken from it's nest when very
young and brought up by hand. His
associates were a canary, a. bluejay and
an oriole. The canary had been pur-
chased in a bird store, and had there
learned it's song. The bluejay and
oriole had been taken from neighbor-
ing nests, and had, no doubt, picked
up the characteristic notes of their
species from the many other members
of their kind that inhabited the vicin-
ity, but it was many miles to the near
est swamp or lowland where one might
find a red-winged blackbird. This red
winged had learned perfectly the notes
of his Gagged companions, and had
picked up some notes of other birds
in the neighborhood, but not one note
of the red-winged hIackbird did he
know"

THE BRIION TO THE BoER.

Boer, we do not want your fair franchise,
We want your gold-a richer prize.
We will bind you to our vast empire
Welded in crime, with blood and tire.
We have servile states DER lands and seas
Boer, thou shalt be one of these.
By dunn dunn bullets, thou shalt die,
Rent and torn, and your final sigh
Shall merge in the bursts OF the Lyddite
shell.
Boer, We fight with the terrible weapons
So trembie-and give US your lands and
And trek, trek again, as We did of old.
On thy border land. where thy women,
alone,
Foolishly pray for a husbands return,
We will loose the wild savage, with gun
and with spear,
Who will glut in the blood of those We hold
dear,
Like they ravaged America, in years that
are gone
Quilted and Drained the weak women at
home.
Boer, we are the mighty blood cousin of
Mars
We have blackened the world with desc
On all the broad. earth there is scarcely a
spot
We've enriched Africa's soil with the
butchered and SLAIN.
BOer, why 40 you not lTeHIUtS we VIII
do it again!
See the lands that we claim, over waters
and seas;
We have murdered and slaughtered for our
title to these.
We have heard the deep wailings of be-
reaved ones for years
Our cruisers could ride on their oceans OF
From our ships follow trails of sickening
red
Every shore we've touched we've encum-
Dered with dead.
VIII We dare brave our onslaught with
your Bible and prayer?
AS We beseeCh the Great Throne, in the
fiame-reddened air,
Our Lancers will massacre, our gunners
will blast
Thy faith, God and Bible are things of the
sullen Boer dost thou know what consti-
tutes right?
IT'S the brute strength OF war-the brute
strength of might.
So you'll fight for your flag and your mis-
cradle land.
Your kopjes. your yeldts and your gold
bearing rand?
So be it, then. Boer-Feel the bursting of
Lyddite, the dunn dunn as well,
That kills, and brings also the fortunes of
hell!
Hear us exulting above thee, as in death
Hear us screaming For Mammoth Vic
torial and Transvaal goldl''

AN ONO COUNTY cAsDlDATE.

Judging from the large number OF
candidates in the field for the various
State Offices on the Democratic ticket
there is a general belief among those
having the best means of feeling the
public pulse that Democratic victory is
in the air and that they who get the
Democratic nominations are as good as
elected.
There are a number of able and
worthy Democrats who have up to date
announced their candidacy for the
Authorship, but until now there has
been no aspirant for this Office from
this section of the State. Ohio county,
however, now comes to the front with
candidate in the person of Mr.. Jo-
seph Handlan, of this city.
Mr. Handlan, though very modest
and unassuming gentleman, needs no
introduction in Wheeling where he has
spet his life, but for the benefit of
the State at large, where he may not
be so we'll known, the Register will
state that he is sterling young Demo-
crat recognized by all who know him
as a man of high ideas of honor and
integrity, and a lawyer of thorough
training and recognized ability. He is
in every way fitted for the important
Office of trust he aspires to and the
Democracy of the State could not do
better than place on the ticket this
excellent candidate from the panhandle
"a much neglected section, by the
way, politically speaking.
