A Wonderful Geological Freak.

Among the many wonderful freaks
In nature there can be none in the geo.
logical line that can possibly excel
that known as THE Giants Head"
1t stands, or, rather, reciines, against
the face Of the cliff at Point PinOs, In
Monterey county, Cal, and all who
have viewed the wonder declare 1t to
be the most colossal as well as the
most marvellous freak In natural sculp-
ture In existence.
All portions Of the head" except the
back, which appears to be blocked"
into the metamorphlc rocks against
which 1t seems to be so naturally re-
clining, are as perfect as though fresh
from the hands of some giant sculptor.
The chin, mouth, nose, eyes and brow
are all perfect, as Is also the hair.
which appears to be gracefully drawn
back from the forehead.
The ears are not so true to life" as
the other features are, but even in this
respect no stretch of the imagination
is required In order TO see tolerably
perfect auricular appendages. The
bold features, backward wave of the
hair, massive forehead, mustache, fine
ly chiscled nostrils and deep set eyes
are all reproduced on a natural yet 81
gantic scale and with wonderful exact
ness

After I landed in Algiers," said q
Pittsburg man who is visiting Detroit
friends, Il went out for little walk
to see the town and incidentally to
find barber shop.
After spending some time In fruit
less search l accosted a man and po-
Itely asked him to direct me to the
nearest place where l could get shaved.
Monsieur did not comprehend, and l
repeated my question. What he said
l do not know, as he understood no
English, and 1 am equally ignorant of
French. We parted.
Il walked on until met an intelli-
gent looking chap whom I stopped.
Slowly, distinctly and In a loud tone
Of voice 1 again stated my request.
Anybody ought to have understood,
but he did not. He threw u volley
Of French at me, gesticulated madly
and left me standing there.
with the third man l changed my
tactics. | did not attempt to talk to
him In a foreign tongue that he was
too stupid to understand. l clutched
him by the arm and held him while l
performed pantomime shave. When
l finished, looked at him in1uiringly.
"'Yes.' he said, L can see that you
are desperate 'man. l suppose you
want me to take you to a secluded
spot where you can cut your throatY
"Never did the English language
sound sweeter to me, and, learning
what l wanted to know, / was soon
happily vending my way to the near

At one Of the great department stores
the other day young man was in
dulging In airy persifage with the
pretty shopgirl behind the counter
while waiting for his change.
What a wonderful place you have

A Question of Clocks.

Which is the best. a clock that Is

Is right twice every day? The latter"
you reply. "unquestiOnably.
Very good. reader; now attend. |
have two clocks; one doesn't 90 at all
and the other loses n minute day,
which would you prefer? THE losing
QUE" you answer. without n doubt"
Now observe. The one which loses
a minute day has to lose II hours. or
100 minutes. before 1t is right again;
consequently 1t is only right once in
two years, whereas the other Is evil
IDENTIFY right as often as the time it
points to come round, which happens
twice n day. So you've contradicted
yourself once. "Ah. but" you say,
whats the use of its being right
twice a day, If can't tell when the
time comes"
Why, suppose the clock points to
o'clock, don't you see that the clock is
right at 8 o'clock? Consequently when
8 o'clock comes your clock is right.
Eyes, see that" you reply.
Very good; then you've contradicted
yourself twice Now get out of the diff
ficulty as you can, and don't contradict
yourself again if you can help it,

Sweet Reyenge!

She sat in car with a little smile Of
satisfaction on her face, for she was
well and tastefully dressed, and that
means Il great deal to Il woman. As
she moved up to make room for a new
conner a man entered, and as he sat
down he said to the comfortable one:
"Why, Jane, this isn't your afternoon
off! How did they come to let you out
todayT
The young woman grew very red in
the face, for all the occupants of the
car were looking and listening, and
stammered out as she half rose and
then fell back in her seat:
"Now look here

tinued her tormentOr. "They must

able man as he caught fash from her
waving fingers. "Or are they artifi-

The tormented one sprang up, stop

What Old Sawyer Said.

Senator Sawyer considered himself
personally responsible for a Republic
an majority In Wisconsin and was
quite sensitive on that subject.
During the Garfield campaign 1 was
sitting one day in his simple office at
Oshkosh when a gentleman, then I'M
known, but now occupying prominent
position "a public affairs, appeared
with letter Of introduction from Mar
shall Jewell Of Connecticut, chairman
Of the Republican national committee,
who stated that the bearer had been in
structed to visit Wisconsin for the pur.
pose Of making a report upon the pc.
Ltical situation and the. prospects of
the Republican ticket. This pricked
the old mans pride. He resented, in
his good natured way, the invasion of
his territory, and I noticed that his
face flushed as he read the letter. Aft
er looking out of the window for a few
moments he looked at his watch, hand
ed back the letter Of introduction to his
surprised visitor and remarked with
elaboration:
There's q train leaving here at 8
o'clock that will get you into New York
day after tomorrow morning, and I'll
send up one of my boys to see that you
get aboard. When you get to New
York, you tell Jewell that old Sawyer
read that letter and said there was
nothing for you to report on. You
might add, however, that old Sawyer
asked you who was looking after
things In Connecticut" Rec.

Cedars Twenty Centuries Old

Some cedars are undoubtedly more
than 1000 years old, for, though on
good moraine soil they grow about as
fast as oaks, on bare pavements and
smoothly glaciated Overswept granite
ridges in the dome region they grow
extremely slow.
One on the Starr King ridge, only 9
feet IL inches in diameter, was !, lac
years old. Another on the same ridge,
only foot ~ inches in diameter, had
reached the age of S34 years. The first
10 inches from the bark of a medium
seized tree-6 feet in diameter-on the
north Tenaya pavement had $50 layers
of wood, or 81 to the inch. Beyond
this the count was stopped by dry rot
and overgrOwn wounds.
The largest l examined was SO feet
in glrth, or nearly 10 feet in diameter,
and, though l failed to get anything
like a complete count, learned enough
from this and many other specimens
to convince me that most of the trees
to 10 feet thick, standing on polish
ed glacier pavements, are more than
20 centuries of age rather than less.
Barring accidents, for all can see,
they would live forever. When killed,
they waste out of existence about as
slowly as granlte.-JOhn Muir in At
laDtic.

Thomas +. Prendle, for 80 years a
doorkeeper at the executive mansion,
used frequently to accompany Presl-
dent Lincoln on his walks about town
and has many interesting things to tell
of that great man, whom he believes to
have been one of the bravest men the
world has ever known.
On one occasion Prendle was walk
ing with the president down flight Of
steps at the navy department when
they came suddenly upon man who
was evidently endeavoring TO hide him
self In a dark corner at the bottom Of
the staircase. Observing the stranger
and fearing he meant harm to the
president, Prendle essayed to place his
body in position to protect his COM
panion.
Mr.. Lincoln, however, brave and
fearless as always, stepped forward
and closely scrutinized the man, who
ran rapidly up the steps and, turning
squarely around when he reached the
top, looked down upon the president,
who did not falter, but continued to
gaze sharply at him. On their return
to the White House Mr.. Lincoln said
quite calmly, "Prendle, do you know

Cedar Rapids, Feb. 16.-W ]. Hall.
Grace church. His dismissal came in
the form of letter from DIR. Green
yesterday morning. MIR. Hall has called.
meeting of Grace church choir for
this evening. and it is stated that there
viii be a division of the house as TO
whether they Will or Won t-remain by
their choirinaster.
There is good deal more in this
move than at first appears. When Mr..

plan to give a rousing song concert
service last Sunday, the day upon
which Dr. Green was supposed 10 be in
Denver on Il part of his lecturlng tour
and the two Sundays remaining of his
administration al choirmaster We're to
be given up TO the routine service with
out any special numbers, according to
the hint dropped by DR. Green from the
pulpit. Ills said that DR.. Green got
wind of this scheme and changed his
dates.
1t is stated by several members of the
choir that the great majority Of them
Will decline to longer sing in the church
after the events of the past two weeks.
1t is stated that some of the leaders
have counted noses and find but half q
dozen adults who will be in their accus-
toned places among the music racks
on Sunday next.
Mr.. Halls resignation was TO have
taken effect on March /. DIR. Green has.
by this letter, cut it short two weeks
and has released the director of music
after the resignation had become a
matter Of record. What the next move
will be remains TO be seen.
