Always watches the Trail.

Senator Shoup, of Idaho, never sits
with his back toward door. If he
goes into the Senate restaurant for a
midday meal he seeks a place about
the board where any one entering the
room will face his stalwart figure and
Keen blue eye. Likewise when he
seats himself in n committee room,
where several men may be gathered,
he picks out a chair where he can keep
a clear watch on the trail by which he
entered. 1t is simply the force OF
habit. For thirty or forty years of his
eventful career he lived with a gun in
his hand. A Pennsylvania by birth,
he, nevertheless, took part in the stir
ring life of the frontier at an early
age. For many years his home was in
n log cabin, with only one window and
one door, and where, when he was
within, 1t was matter of reasonable
caution to keep an eye on the APP
proaches. During the Civil War per-
iod he served almost continuously as
scout along the base of the Rocky
Mountains in New Mexico and along
the Canadian, Pecos and Red rivers.
SO thoroughly accustomed did he be-
come to this that the habit of the scout
and frontiersman clngs to him uncon-
sciously after decade of service in
the United States Senate.

According to Camille F1ammarion,
a well-known authority, what are call
ed shooting stars" are small bodies.
weighing at most a few pounds, and
consisting mainly of iron and carbon.
They traverse space in swarms and
also revolve around the sun in long
elliptical courses like comets. When
these little bodies enter the suns orbit
they are detected toward the earth and
great numbers OF them are seen In a
single night. Their brightness is due
to tho heat engendered by the energy
of their motion. Their speed is enor-
nous, Az kilometors second, while
the speed of the earth on its orbit IL
only kllometers second. Conse-
quently when shower of them ap-
proaches the earth in the direction op-
poslte to its course. the initial speed
is 70 kilometers a second; when they
follow on its course they gain 16h
kilometers second on It. Their
mean rate of approach is between 80
and 40 kilometers a second. The frie-
tion engenders temperature OF 5000
degrees, Celsius, subject TO which they

spain's Queer Law Prevents Rescue Of

There is a Spanish law that no SUP

Spain, nearly suffered a severe fall
from this rule in his childhood. An
aunt gave him swing. When he
used 1t for the first time the motion
frightened him, and he began to cry,
whereupon a lackey lifted him quietly
out OF 1t, and SO, no doubt, prevented
him from falling The breach OF eti-
quette, however, was fragrant and
dreadful. The queen was obliged to
punish It by dismissing the man from
his post. At the same time she show

appointing him Immediately to an
other and better place In the royal
household. In another case queen OF

TREASURES OF THE WHITE HOUSE
a Description of Some of the Artistic
Pieces of Furniture and Bric-a-Brac

Description of Some of the Artistic
Pieces of Furniture and Bric-a-Brac.
"The Art Treasures of the White
House" is the title of an article in the
Woman's Home Companion dealing
with the bric-a-brac that has been ac.
cumulated in the Executive Mansion
by the Presidents. In the beginning cf
his article Mr. Fawcett says:
'There are doubtless in every large
city i'm the country larger and more
valuable collections of bric-a-brac ard
art furniture than that to be found in
the private apartments of the Execu.
tive Mansion, but 1t is n question
whether there is in the length and
breadth OF the land any other half 50
interesting. Rarity is, of course. n
universal characteristic of the artistic
gems scattered through the home Of
is the fact that almost every piece is
fraught with memories and assocla-
tlons that make 1t priced possession.
OF the whole number probably half
are the gifts of kings and rulers-tol:-
ems of appreciation from friendly ma
tions-and the remainder, having been
fashioned especially for the White
House. have no duplicates anywhere
else in the world.
"Thls accumulation is not the pro.
duct of any particular administration.
President Arthur had, perhaps, more
of the collectors spirit than has been
inherent in any other man who has
been master of the White House and
its furnishings than any other of It's
occupants.
ANY expenditure which the Presl-
dent himself makes for pictures or
statuary or bric-a-brac or furniture.
unless specially provided for must
come out Of the fixed appropriation
which Congress makes each year for
the maintenance of the White House.
Mr.. Arthur chose to spend the major
part of his allowance in the manner
which has been outlined. Mrs. Nc
Kinley, on the other hand. has pre-
ferred to devote the rather modest sum
to beautifylng her temporary home in
other ways, and thus we find all about
the house new mirrors, freshened dee.

furnishing. Mrs. Cleveland added
more new flowers than brio-a.hrac,
and Mrs. Hayes found her hobby in
pretty table china rather than in the
treasures that are purely ornamental"

Caught a Fish ana owl on One Line

ii. NJ. Walton, reliable citizen Of
Wilkes, relates Il most remarkable in
stance, as follows; Harry, son Of Mr..
Walton, set out hook and line on the
creek near his home and left 1t over
night The next morning he went to
his line, and to his great astonlshment
found goodsized fish on the line and
Il large hooting owl tangled up in the
line and floating on the surface of the
water. The owl had been drowned
but the fish was alive and still pulling
on the line, The fishing line had been
wrapped about the owl several times,
which placed the night bird complete
ly in the power of the fish.
Mr.. Walton's theory is that during
the night the owl in seeking food
found the fish fastened on the line and
undertook to make meal off him. In
the struggle the fish Jumped over the
owl, wrapping the line about him, rem
dering him helpless and the frequent
dips into the water drowned the bird.
