According to the custom of Hindoo
households, where the women servants
call their master and mistress father
and mother" and the daughters Jewel
sisters" nothing is than for
old attendants to attach themselves to
a family as grandmother, claiming the
privilege Of scolding their employers
and spelling those employers children
to the end Of their days. In such cases
the social inferiority of this member
OF the family group would not be cas-
lily perceived by a stranger. The mis-
tress prepares her servants food and
gives it to her with her own hands Ga

1t is expected that the new Deloncle
telescope, which is much the larges:
ever built and which is to be one OF
the great attractions of the Paris expo
sition, will reveal wonders in the
heavens of which astronomers have so
far caught hardly a glimpse. One of
the vexed questions which it is eX-
pected to settle is thai of the tabled
Inhabitants of the planet Mars. At any
rate there is hope hat the new instru-
ments will make plain the meaning
OF the mysterious canals Of Mars and
of the curious ovals and circles on its
surface, which have perpleNed astron-
omers. The illustration shows all that
science has yet been able to discover
en- the planet.

1t is said that almost the only place
where the beaver is to be found in
any number is in the Rio Grande can
yon, on the border between Texas and
Mexico. For the 800 miles between
Ell Paso and Eagle Pass little is known
of the canyon. The few persons who
have traversed the region report dan
gerous and impossible falls. A French
Canadian passed through in 1895, and
brought Il 400 beaver skins, which he
sold at Eel Paso for the tidy sum Of 81
each. He told tales of the abundance
Of beavers in the canyon, but the per-
lis of the journey have prevented many
others from following in his course.

The popular tradition that no mule
ever died a natural death is based
largely on fact. Mules are drowned;
they fall from bridges. they are eXplod-
ed by dynamite, and they die in battle
as did the gallant creatures at Matau-
zas, but they seldom expire peacefully
in lots or in their " stables sur
rounded by home comforts of fodder
and a straw bed. In Arkansas it is
the common belief that when mules
have done their appointed work they
dry up and blow away.--Sarannah

There have been various stories
written about the stealing Of the Bal
tiHlore and Ohio Rail Road engines
at Martinsburg. w. Va, during the
rebellion and their transfer across the
country for service on southern rail-
roads by Col. Thomas Sharp. who is
still living in Ohio. Recently, an Of
fetal Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road made some inquiries of old N
plcyes who were at M%artinsburg at
the tine the incident happened and
they say that en- June 10, 1861, 200
men of Gen'l Stonewall Jackson's
command were detailed to destroy the
Baltimore and Ohio's equipment at
Martinsburg. They piled wood and
coal over II engines and nearly 400
cars and then set fire to them. Only
ten or twelve of the engines, however.
were seriously damaged, and these not
by the fire, but because the water was
first let out Of the boilers. Col. Sharp
arrived in Martinshurg on August Is,
1861, and remained there until the fol-
lowing March, engaged in removing
engines, machinery. etc. He took
eight engines across the country over
the turnpike. either to Staunton, Win
Sueolci VI uuTS, Jana tlefc are
some historians who disagree on this
point SO horses being required to haul
each engine. He also removed all the
duplicate parts of engines and cars
and all the rough iron at the station.
and took away all machinery and
tools which were afterward used in the
Southern arsenals. The country around
Martirsburg is extremely hilly and the
work of getting the engines over the
country roads required considerable
engineering ability. 1t has been cur
rently reported in late years that one
of the locomotives was the Winans
camel-back No. 80 which at that time
was numbered II, but Col. Sharp did
not care for this class of engines and
took only ten wheel and passenger en-
gines. There was only onc'eight wheel
locomotive taken and that was No. "a.
Some years after the war Col. Sharp
was employed on the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road a. Master of Trans
DOrtatiOu.
