Why They Wore Armor.

To such a pitch Of evaporation did
the practice of using buttons in the
shirt drive the men Of the middle ages
that they adopted the plan OF wearing
brass or steel armor, fastened together
with metallic bolts. The popular idea
that men wore armor in order to hgR
in 1t is manifestly absurd, since no man
could possibly have fought when in
cased in half hundredweight of met
al. Armor was worn solely in order
to avoid the worry of shirts with miss
ing buttons.
There were distinct advantages con-
nected with the chain-steel shirts.
When one of these garments came
home on Saturday night from the wash
erwoman the owner could feel reason
ably certain that the metallic clasps at
the neck and in the bosom were all in
their proper places, for no washerwom-
an could have succeeded in detaching
them without the use Of q cold chisel.
If it did SO happen that the washer
woman's husband had been run over
by steam roller while wearing steel
shirt belonging to one Of his wife's Gus
toners, and one of the metallic fasten-
ings had thereby been injured, the Gus
toner in question could not accuse his
wife Of negligence, and demand to
know why she failed to keep his skirts
in proper repair.-Pearson's

Now comes the most peculiar part Of
this most peculiar tale. The large post
oak tree standing at the north end OF
the grove is the curiosity Of the bunch,
for not long ago young man hearing
of the bees went to the spot and pro-
ceeded to look carefully up each tree IN
the grove until he came to the north
oak. Hewas within two feet Of this tree
looking up when he heard a noise just
like a carpenter at work mailing on
boards and the noise seemed to come
from the tree. He went around 1t sew
eral times trying to locate the hammer
ing, but it still seemed to come from the
tree, the hammering continued until ne
happened to touch the tree with MS
hand, when it suddenly stopped. The
man then went away amazed. A day
or so after this man had occasion to
again pass that way. He slipped UP
to the tree and listened for the ham
mering, and sure enough, it was as
plain as ever. He touched the tree with
the end Of his finger and as before the
noise stopped at once This man and
several others have tried touching the
tree several times since with the same
results.
They say that the humming Of bees
and the curious hammering can be
heard any day, but no one has been
able to explain the mysteries Of this en-
chanted grove Galveston News.

TOLD THE STORY.

Then the Boys Were Certain that He
Was the Man.
In The life Of Sir George Grey, one OF
England's explorers and statesmen, Is
pleasant story Of his meeting with
some boys in the Natural History MI
scum at South KensingtOn. Lads and
lassies were his delight.
"There is something in old age" he
said, '.that likes to have young mind
clinging to it, He took great pleasure
in lingering at the museum and watch
ing the stream Of visitors. One day he
saw half dozen boys gathered about
an interesting specimen. Presently they
noticed Sir George, and delegate ap-
preached with the request:
please, sir, can you tell us the name
of this creature?''
Strangely enough, it was specimen
which he had sent home from Austria
liza. He named it, and then the lad
asked:
"Where did it come from?'
He told them that, and the next Ques-
ton came:
"Who killed it?'
A pucker gathered upon Sir Georges
face, and he hesitated, arguing with
himself:
IF I tell them they'll think me an
impostor, and perhaps discount the
other information I've given them"
But the boy was waiting, and Sir
George could only say: Frankly, you
know, I believe killed it myself"
Here, you fellow" rang out the lads
merry voice. HE says he killed it! Did
you ever!'
1he other boys left the animal to
stare at what they considered even
greater curiosity. They formed half
circle about him. "Oh, yes," said Sir
George, "it's quite true. Now. if you'll
listen I'll tell you the whole story, and
then you can decide for yourselves.
He began, and their amused incerdu-
lily vanished. They listened breath
lessly, and when he finished, hats and
caps were off, and they, chorused:
"Thank you, sir"'
1t was a memorable afternoon.

What They Wear.

The Sultan of Turkey is always seen
attired in pale brown garments; the
Emperor of Austria affects gray. The
young German Emperor has what may
be called loud taste in clothes, and is
never so happy as when wearing the
showiest of uniforms or hunting cos
tunes; indeed, when attired in the lat
ter he looks as though he had stepped
out of Drury Lane pantomime, SO ex-
traordinary and fantastic is his get-up
on these occasions. The Emperor of
Russia, on the other hand, likes the
simplest. darkest form Of undress uni
form, and he habitually wears that
which became SO familiar in all the
photographs of his late father.-Chi-

who died recently. AS a barrister,
Lord Russell was long without rivalry
in the law courts. He was a first-class
jury orator and at the same time deep
and sagacious lawyer-a combination
rarely found united in one person. Nu-
merous stories are told of the chief JUS
tice when, as plain Charles, or later as
Sir Charles Russell, he made it ex-
tremely trying with distinguished wit
nesses in his terrible cross -examina-
tons, or cast confusion upon his pro-
fessional opponents by his biting satire
or his sudden springing of new point
in law. Sir Charles appeared in some
of the most famous cases at the British
bar. He defended Mrs. Maybrick, in
her celebrated murder trial in 1889, and
appeared in the Chetwynd turf scandal
case in the same year. In 1894 Sir
Charles, who had been knighted in 1893
was appointed lord chief justice of En-
gland in succession to Lord Coleridge.
In 1896 Lord Russell visited the Unit
ed States and was royalty entertained
by members of the American bar.

Insects and Music,

Tarantulas do not dance to the sound
of the violin, but let the people they
bite do the dancing; scorpions, how
ever, enjoy fddling, according to the
Quarterly Review, and lizards go crazy
for music of any kind. AS for serpents,
the boa constructor and python are
senseless to melody, but the cobra is
fascinated by the flute and still more by
the fiddle. Polar bears enjoy the violin;
so do ostriches; wolves will stop in the
chase to listen to a cornet; elephants
are fond of the flute, especially the up
per notes; tigers, while approaching
violin and flute, cannot stand the har-
monica, while the musical seal shows
no emotion on hearing any instrument,
not even the bass drum.

A Territory Mystery that Is Puzz1ing
at Least One Map.
Away back in the sos there was a
Shawnee Indian village on the South
Canadian River about eighty-five miles
west of South McAlester, but the old
village has long since disappeared. On
the spot where the young Shawnee
buck sung his kiowala to his dusky
maiden and courted his best girl by the
light of the full moon, only an occa-
sional rock hearth and a few graves
are left to indicate the former hunting
ground OF the red man.
Near the old village site now lives a
white man. Just on the border Of this
mans farm is spot which seems to
have been the thickest settled part of
the Shawnee village, and here is q
grove of black oak trees. In this grove
are two very large post oak trees, one
in the south and one in the north end
of the grove. In the grove can be heard
most any day the buzzing of swarm
sof bees so plainly that the noise has
fooled many old bee hunters, but ali
their search has never revealed sin
lgle bee.

The editor Of an anarchistic newspa-
per published in this country hailed the
murder of King Humbert with an edi-
torial paean of joy. He frankly con-
ceded that Humbert was kind and esti-
mable, personally and that he had not
been guilty of depressing his people;
yet this man rejoiced in his death mere
ly because he was king. What sort
of man it is who breaches such doc
trines-what sort of men anarchy
breeds-is well brought out by the COM
ments of Chicago paper on this edi-
tor: He is not worker, but a dead

Stunning beer and giving utterance to

to be dragged out from under the bed
where he had hidden" This is just

list, but of anarchy.

A Washington police justice recently
dismissed a charge of profanity lodged
against q man who swore at street
car conductor. The learned judge held
that, although there was an ordinance
against profanity, in this case the prov
ocation was great and therefore the Of
Tense was excuSable. Nevertheless,
profanity is never excusable. 1t may
not be unlawful. In the view of many
worthy peopae it may not be immoral.
But that it is inexcusable on the ground
of good manners, good taste and a
proper sense of self-respect cannot be
questioned. The spontaneous vocabu-
larry of a man is reflection of his real
self. BY his speech We shall know him.
The old saying, lin vino yeritas," is
terribly true. When gentleman takes
too much wine he still speaks like a
gentleman. When a cad is in his cups
he will talk like cad, though in his
sober moments, when he is on guard,
he is n model of correct discourse and

Is the face Of q beautiful woman

pictures on cigar boxes and -four bar
rels, OF can it's owner claim the fright
of privacy" and protect that right in
the courts? This was the question at
issue in suit for $4,000 damages
brought by beautiful young girl Of
Rochester against the Franklin Mills
Company and the Rochester Folding
Box Company for the use Of her por-
trait, unknown to herself, as an adver-
tisement for -four. The chief conten-
ton of the fair plaintiff was that her
fright Of privacy" had been invaded,
causing her mental injury and distress.
1t is gratifying to note that Justice
Davy, Of the Supreme Court, sided
with the plaintiff. His ruling, in which
he overruled the demurrer to the COM
plant embodies so much sound reason
ing that it is safe to regard it as an
indication of what may be expected
from the courts when cases of this
kind are brought in the future. In the
course of his decision the Judge said:
II UO0S uOL appear lIOIu TIC COmp ld1ut
in this action that the plaintiff is
within the category of what might be
denominated a public character. She is
undoubtedly young woman of rare
beauty, and this she enjoys as a private
citizen. 1t is very natural, if the plain
tiff is of modest and retiring nature,
that any such publicity would be ex-
tremely disagreeable and offensive to.
her. 1t is not impossible, therefore,
that she has suffered and continues to
suffer great mental injury and dis
tress" The Judge further declares that
if the photographic likeness, owing to
it's beauty, is Of great value as trade
mark or advertising mediums it is a
property right which belongs to the
complainant and cannot be taken from
her without her consent. The conten-
ton Of the young woman Of Rochester
raised point which, It is claimed, has
never been passed upon in the courts of
this country.

lone of the things that strikes one
most forcibly in this country said an
English observer, who has been spend
ing some weeks in the United States,
lis the way in which your young men
not only support themselves but push
on into positions of trust. Our English
boys certainly seem to BIZ better edu-
Gated, but the American boys beat 'em
hollow in self-reliance and horse sense,
as 1 believe you call it here. Perhaps
it is owing to the different way in
which the American young man looks
at things. The English boy, starting
out in life, obtains berth'-which is
something to sleep in--or he finds sit
uation.' The American boy either gets
a job or goes to work for somebody.
There is a whole revelation of mental
