Funny Men.

The jests of Heliogabulus were very
practical. He was fond Of inviting
people with some physical deformity
to dinner and making jokes about
them. At times he would invite doz-
en- hunchbacks or a score Of squirting
ladies or an equal number of baidheads,
Once he put large number of exces-
sively fat people, all very hungry, into
a small chamber where dinner was
waiting. There was no room to eat it.
Another diversion Of which he was
fond was that Of placing his guests on
air sofas, so that when they were about
to drink he could let the air out and
have both sofa and guest collapse.
1t is said that Nero, the Roman EN-.
perOr, liked to "shy" nuts at the bald
heads of the pretors who sat below
during the performance at the theater,
and they were expected to maintain
their baldheaded dignity and refrain
from "shying" them back at him.

Erroneous Answer Wins COmmend0-
ton From a Latin Teacher.
"The class in Latin will now recite, -
said the Latin teacher at one Of the
city high schools the other day.
The members of the class in Latin,
consisting of 80 or more bright looking
girls, with three or four boys, came
forward and took their places. All
moved along smoothly until the dec
lination of the noun "donum" was in
order, and there was trouble. 1t was
the ablative that caused the trouble.
For the benefit Of those not acquainted
with the mysteries Of Latin it may be
mentioned right here that the ablative
is ''dono," and the pronunciation is the
same as if one should say don't
know" slurring the two words, as is so
frequently done, to don know"
"Miss 3ones," said the teacher to
the head of the class, "what is the
ablative of 'donum?"
Miss Jones gave her version and
was told to sit down. The question in
turn went down the entire length of
the class. all failing, until it reached
the last, boy who had reputation
for baseball and football, but none for
scholarship.
'Well. Percy, the ablative of do
num|" asked the teacher.
Percy scratched his head and despair
ingly looked at his grinning class
mates.
"Don' know" he finally blurted out.
Fright" said the teacher; Ego up
head"
And then the class broke out into a
laugh that cost each member ten
marks. but none peached on Percy,
and the teacher to this day cannot IN
derstand what there is so comical in
the ablative Of "donum." -Chicago In

The Human Birds.

A facetious man who rejoices in the
name of Bird conceived the idea of
calling a convention of all the people
in Philadelphia who belong to his
tribe. OF course it was joke, but a
glance through the pages of the di-
rectory convinced him that such a
gathering would be big one He dis
covered that there were just an even
100 plain Birds, but the variety Of
those who specified their kinds was
appalling. The list, as far as he went
was as follows: Doves, Is; Eagles, s.;

"More sociable."

A lady who has recently returned
from abroad had a curious experience
at the little town Of Dinant, in Bel
GUM. She was travelling in party of
three. including another lady and a
young man. They sought accommoda-
ton at hotel and were shown room
in which there were three beds and on
a deal table three basins and jugs about
as big as slop basins and milk jugs
The ladies explained that one room
was quite insufficient for their needs,
but it was a long time before they
could get the hostess to understand
why. They were then shown another
room with three beds, three slop ba-
sins and three milk jugs and were told
that they could have that, too, if they
liked to pay for the six beds 1t was
therefore arranged that theNman should
have one room and three beds and the
ladies the other room and three beds.
"Do you always sheep in threes?'
said one lady to the hostess.
Eyes, was the reply; sit is much
more sociable. "-Madame.

GOOD WATER FROM TREES.
Wells Which Willy Southern Woods
men Tap With an Anger.

Wells Which Willy Southern Woods
men Tap With an Anger.
In many sections of the forest lands
Of the south during the dry seasons a
man may walk for miles without find
ing a stream of water or spring by
which to Quench his thirst. If, how
ever, he is an c fenced hunter and
woodsman, he W al not have to drink
water from the stagnant pools in order
to keep life in his body.
Queer as it may seem, an experienced
man can hunt for days through such
dry tracts and yet experience no in
convenience on account of the lack of
water. Nature has provided a means
which is only known to the tiated.
Every old huntsman carries with him
when going on long hunt small au-
GER by which he can secure refresh
ing drink and water to cook with at
any moment.
A cottonwood tree or willow is the
we'll which the willy huntsman taps.
He examines each tree until he finds
one that has what a woodsman calls
"vein." 1t is simply an attenuated
protuberance. By boring into this
"vein" a stream Of clear water will
flow out. 1t is not sap, but clear. pure
water. The huntsmen say that the
water is better than the average to be
had from ordinary wells. There is no
sweetish taste about it, but it has
strong flavor Of sulphur and is slight
ly carbonated.
The reason for this phenomenon can
not easily be explained, but that a sup
ply of water can be contained in tree
is not so surprising. The fact Of it's
flowing is the wonderful feature, show
ing that is must be under pressure or,
in other words, that there is more at
the source of the supply. When it is
considered that the trees furnish the
water in the dry season and that the
ground is literally baked, it is the more
remarkable especially when the roots
of the trees do not extend to any great
depth into the ground.-Memphis Scim-

WAUCHUSATT DAM.
Work on the TwO-MiIIiOn-DOIIar
Structure Begun-There Is Pros
pect of Labor Trouble.

Clinton, Mass, Oct. 15.-The $1,000
600 contract of Macarthur, Winston &
Locker, the Chicago contractors, with
the Metropolitan water board for the
construction of the Wachusatt dam
commenced Monday. Even before
start was made by the contractors
there was prospect of labor trouble.
For about three months the Metro
pOlitan board has had a gang of about
200 men working day and night on
the site of the dam in anticipation of
the commencement of work by the
contractors. These men have been
paid $3.50 for nine hours work. The
prospect of trouble arises from the
announcement IN the posted notices
that the contractors will pay 1879
cents an hour for ten hours work, or
$1.35 per day.

DEFAULTER scHREIBER.
His steaIings Amount TO S1O9,716-
Mrs. Harris Personal Effects
Have Been Seized.

New York, Oct. 13.-Another dis
covery was made Friday at the Eljz-
abethport bank, which increased the
stealings of Defaulter Schneider to
S1O9,716.
Several months ago an envelope
containg $4,000 in United States bonds
was placed for safekeeping in the
bank by a resident of Elizabeth. When
he called at the bank Friday for the
deposit it was found the envelope had
been carefully slit open and the bonds
distracted.
Judge Gilhooly, the banks attor-
ney, said the institution was respon-
sible and the loss would be made
good.
The furniture and personal effects
of Mrs. Hart, the woman upon whom
young Schneider is said to have Law
ished the money of the Elizabeth
bank was removed Friday to a stor-
age warehouse by order Of the sher-
iff. Three large vans were required
to remove all the contents of the lux
uriously furnished apartments. Mrs.
Hart was present and angrily and
tearfully protested against the re-
moval of what she claimed to be her
own personal property.
1t was reported Friday night that
one or more persons familiar with
the affairs of the Elizabeth bank were
suspected of having been confeder-
ates of Schneider and that an arrest
might be expected but up to a late
hour no confirmation of the report
had been obtained.
While there are rumors that the
whereabouts of Schneider are practi-
cally known, there was nothing at
Elizabeth Friday night to confirm
such reports. The belief is still gen
eral that he is somewhere nearby and
has not gone to Europe as has been
reported.
Startling developments, it is assert
ed, may come out of all this, enabling
the bank to recover $4,000 and Mrs.
Hart to keep her property, and, what
is more important, to be freed of
all. When the writs were served first
on Mrs. Hart she said she could prove
that she had 'other friends" who had
given her the rich treasure which the
bank had claimed it's defaulting book
keeper had given her.
If Mrs. Hart persists in making a
complete statement in court about
her sources of wealth it is alleged
she will state necessarily the names
of these men.

THE HIGHEST VOLTAGE.
Thirty Thousand Two Hundred Volts
Carried Through n Conduit Three
Miles in Length.

St. Paul, Mimi, Oct. ia remar-
kable series of experiments was con-
Quoted here Sunday by Henry Floy,
Of New York, who successfully ac-
complished the feat of carrying 10000
volts of electricity through an under
ground cable three miles long. The
highest voltage hitherto attained with
this class of conductor was 10000
volts, which was secured at Niagara
Falls and electrical engineers have
long been experimenting with a view
to attaining a maximum of $4,000
volts. The cable consists of three
copper conductors each about the
size of an ordinary lead pencil, each
being enclosed in a paper tube and
the whole encased in lead sheet and
drawn through vitrifed clay conduits.
The cable is a part of the system
by which the st. Paul Light & Power
Co. will utilize the water power at
Apple river Wisconsin, the other "a
miles of wire being overhead. AS a
result of this experiment they will
carry an average voltage of $4,000
volts furnishing 5000 horse power
for lighting and power purposes.

for cutting sugar cane would be great

YoUTsEY IS BETTER.
He Is in n Fair Way to Recover,
and His Trial May Be Re-
sumed at an Early Day.

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 12.-The con-
dition of Henry Youtsey, who on
Tuesday evening collapsed in court
during his trial, Thursday, although
much improved, is still such that it
was impossible for the trial to be re-
sumed, and Judge Cantrill continued
the case till Friday morning.
Before court convened a long con-
ference was held between Judge Can
trill, At; orney Franklin, for the pros
ecution. and Col. Crawford, for the
defense. ut which Youtsey's condi-
ton anG the probabilities for con-
oinHance of the trial were discussed.
When court convened Col. Crawford
stated that the condition of the pris-
oner was such that he could not be
brought into court. He asked a con-
tinuance. In agreeing to this, Com
monwealth's Attorney Franklin stat
ed that from the reports of Youtsey's
physicians and of those not interest
ed in the case, the condition of the
prisoner was such that he thought
the trial could soon be resumed.
The reports from Henry YOutsey's
sickroom Thursday night were not
encouraging. The only change per-
ceptible is that his stupor is not quite
so heavy. Once or twice Thursday he
lifted his hands an inch or two and
in a weak, piping voice said: There's
no blood on my hands" His physi-
clans fear brain fever, which will al
most surely prove fatal.
Georgetown, KY, Oct. 13.-Youtsey
was better Friday night. He seems
to understand, and obeys what the
nurses tell him, though he does not
talk or answer questions. There is
now less fear of brain fever,
His color remains good, his breath
ing natural and his sleep quiet and
restful. DIR. Carrick says no opiates
have been given the prisoner since
Tuesday night and that the continued
stupor results entirely from natural
causes. Occasional doses of strych-
nine are given him to stimulate him,
and he is thought to be in a fair way
to recover. Nearly all have aban-
doned the fact that he was sham
ming.
Georgetown, KY, Oct. 15.-The con-
dition of Henry E. Youtsey was un-
changed Sunday night but the gen
eral impression is that the prosecu-
ton will make a strong effort to have
the trial resumed.
