SHE KEPT AN ARMY WAITING.
A Chicago Girl Did This to Take a

She was only a slip of a girl from
Chicago, but with the aid of her cam
era she kept an army waiting while
she took the picture of Its command
Ing officer. 1t was the occasion of the
greatest review since the civil war.
The Incident occurred Aug. o, 1898,
while $4,000 volunteers awaited along
the base of Snodgrass hill In Chicka-
manga National Park the signal to
march.
Back of the great flag, the emblem of
united nation. planted on the side of
the hill where the reviewing stand was
located, there was n commotion. A
colored driver of an old carry all was
endeayoring to force his way to a point
where his passengers, handsome
couple of elderly people and n pretty
young girl, might have n more favor

ficer, and staff swept up from across
the field, where they had been riding

The trumpeter was about TO sound
the signal for the advance when the
young girl In the carry-all leaped to the
ground and ran across the field to
where General Breckenridge sat on his
handsome bay. She stopped when
about twenty feet from the general and
pointed her camera at him. An aid
laughlngly directed his superior's ut

taken, general"
General Breckenridge turned and
saw his fair admirer. His hand was
raised and the trumpeter withheld the
signal for the advance. The general
rode forward few PAGES and faced the
girl, who now appeared confused and
about to withdraw. the attention she
had attracted disconnected her. She
was brave little creature, however,
and, summoning her courage, she wait
ed for the general to halt. Her camera
ceased swaying and was aimed full at
the handsome Kentuckian. A click
was heard by those nearest the scene
and sweet THANK you" followed
from the young girl.
II hope 1t will be n good picture"
was the kindly response Of the general
as he raised his hat and returned to
his position.
The sharp notes Of the "Forwardw
pealed from the trumpet and the van
of the troops began to move. The
young girl returned to her seat in the
carry-all, blushing but triumphant.

Very Curious weather.

AT Alto Crucero water freezes every
night of the year and the thermometer
frequently falls to G, and 10 degrees
below zero. There are no facilities for
artificial heat-not even fireplace

putting on ponchos and other extra
wraps.
At MONDAY the sun is intensely hot,
because of the elevation and the rarity
of the atmosphere. and blisters the flesh

thlrty-two thousand square miles; the
Caspian sea, not generally called n

dow lily, which grows in abundance
in the marshes of Africa, is one of the
most perfect types Of vegetable phos-
phorescents. In Brazil q kind of grass,
which the inhabitants call khus-khus-
shines, gives forth n bright light, be-

animals stop in surprise and fear.
A life buoy, provided with automatic
torches which are lgnlted by the con-

on many foreign ships. 1t is called the
Franklin life buoy. On stormy night
In 1897 one of these buoys saved two
sailors of the Maine, but one of the
rescued men persisted a year later at
the explosion In Havana harbor.
Many persons believe that birds, re
turning TO their summer quarters. are
the same that were at the same spots
the year previous; but exact proof Is
rare. John b. Crowson of German
town, Pa, saw robin struggle to get
free from some string In which 1t got
entangled, resulting in a broken leg.
1t was lame accordingly. The lame
bird returned year after year to the
same spot. How they can retire hun
dreds of miles, and yet return to the
same spot, is truly wonderful.

A story is told of two prominent Chi

were regarded as being among the
brightest lawyers the state had pro-
duced for n long time. There was
great rivalry between these men, and
one day they were having n heated
argument on the steps of the state

lawyers fiercely.

Breaking Glasses by Singing.

1t has often been asserted that
glasses could be broken by singing.
The statement has as often been de-
MED, nevertheless 1t is true. More
over, the glass does not have to be of
the finest Venetian kind.
An ordinary dinner table wine glass
was recently broken In this way. The
man who did 1t had a deep, full voice.
He set the glass on the table, stood be-
side 1t and ran up and down the scale
as though in search of note. When
he settled on one rather high the glass
shook vlsibly. The note was repeated,
sung as loudly as possible, and finally
the glass shlvered and crashed into
bits. An ordinary voice could not ac-
compllsh this, for afterward an expert
menter tried to repeat the scene, with
out producing the slightest effect on
a variety of glasses. However, 1t
would be a dangerous gift for general
use. Imagine banquet when an af-
ter-dlnner speaker, in his imprisoned
oratory CHANGED to strike the note dis
liked by the table glasses. What a
crash there would be!-Chicago News.

Trouble In Teaching Monkeys.

ed, but occasionally there is one, as In
the human species, who is n Ounce and
won't learn anything. Is positively
stupid and refuses per1istently TO be-
come educated. The tr8able In teach
Ing monkeys Is largely that they are
mischieyous. They try to overdo
things and do things which are not
wanted OF them, so that In order 10
make them perform as desired steady
drilling Is necessary, although they
grasp an Idea quickly. The only two
species of animals which can be taught
by precept and exar-p pie are the chin

are imltators. and to instruct them In
doing n thing 1t is only necessary for
the trainer to do it first himself. and
then either one of these will initiate

japanese are very fond of strolllng
through their bazaars. You enter at
one door and leave by another Goods
for sale are displayed on each side OF
aisles that wind through the length OF
the shop. Passing up and down these
aisles they lead you to the second, and
often third, story of the building, then
back again through different alsles,
causing you to travel the length Of the
establishment many times. Finally you
see the doorway q few feet distant, but
even then you must travel this maze
several times Its length to escape.
Usually shopping Is very restful In
Japan. You sit around on the floor, and
in some shops they bring you cups of
tea to sip and 'hlbachP' from which
TO light your pipe.
Time Is of no consequence to the Ori-
entails, nor are they eager to sell. Their
ideas of trade are very peculiar. You
are compelled to ask them whether you
can see articles after their stating that
they have them In the store. Ten pieces
of an article sometimes cost twelve
times the cost of one. They will not
sell 100 at less rate, but insist on your
paying extra because of the large guam
tity desired. They frankly tell you
their price to japanese customers and
then that foreigners have to pay about
so to 100 per cent. more and laugh.

"Of course we used to put up small
bills wherever they'd catch the eye"
said bill poster who travelled with a
one thing we used to do that always
pleased folks was to hang a bill from
a ceiling. You had to have a wooden
ceiling, to start with, and then all you
wanted, besides the bills, was a tack
and a silver dollar. 1t took practice to
do it. but when you'd got the knack 1t
was very simple and easy.
you attached two bills together, one
ut the foot of the other so that it would
hang down when the first one was at
tacbed to the ceiling. Then you folded
the bills up. with tack, thrust point
upward through the top fold of the up
per bill, with a silver dollar under it,
up against its head and between it and
the other folds of paper under 1t.
Then, some time when the room was
full of people-this might be hotel Of
fee or perhaps barroom-you tossed
the bills up, and there was weight
enough In the dollar to drive the tack
into the ceiling far enough to hold.
Then the weight of the paper itself
and of the dollar would open the bills
out, and the coin would drop and you'd
catch it as it fell, and the chances are
that not one man In five would see it
fall. The bills would be seen, fasten-
ed up there somehow, most of the peo-
pie wouldn't know how, and opening
out with the lower bill, hanging SO you
could read 1t.
