With shrick of mortal terror the

She was arrested that same hour

carried to Paris and committed to

She tore the gold serpent from her

A tremendous mob filled the
streets of Paris as the death cart left

The procession reached the Place

before she could be carried bodily
up to the platform.
She was strapped to the weigh

AT A MEXICAN HnTE!
The Meals and the Dishes That Are
Served There.

The dining room is scrupulously
clean, and the mozos are in attend
ance in their spotless white blouses
(Which resemble our shirt waists,
with the gathering string let out at
the bottom>, the corners tied in a
hard knot in front below the waist.
The first meal of the day is called
desayuno and consists usually of
different kinds of bread, some very
fancy and sweet, with coffee or
chocolate; also fruit and eggs, if you
desire them.
After very slow canter about the
country OH the back of n burro
through banana groves, to sugar
plantations, etc., you return prompt
ly at 12 o'clock ready for your din
ner (comida.) This is full course
meal, beginning with soup and rice.
All the dishes are novel and are gen
orally liked. Some Of them are
rather hot, but after a few meals
you find that your taste for chile con
carne has become cultivated, and
you enjoy the piquancy of the deli
cacies set before you.

Pull Out Their Boards.

The Eskimos have coarse, black
hair, some with a tinge Of brown.
Males have the crown of the head
closely cropped, so that reindeer
may not see the waving locks when
the hunter creeps behind bunch
grass. They have black eyes and
high cheek bones. The bones of the
face are better protected from the
severity of the climate by thicker
covering of flesh than southern
races. Generally their beard is very
scant, and most of them devote 9th
erwise idle hours to pulling out the
hairs.

A CURIOUS MONUMENT.
The Sacred Rock Of EshIstun and lts
Ancient tnscriptions.

The Sacred Rock Of E5hIstun and lts
Ancient Inscriptions.
Behistun, or Baghistan, is a ruin
ed city of Persia noted for pre-
cipitous rock in its vicinity, one
side of which rises perpendicular to
the height of 1,7OO feet and bears a
number of remarkable inscriptions.
1t was anciently called Mount Bag
istanus, and is now known as the
Sacred Rock Of Behistun. Tho
lines inscribed on the rock are in
cuneiform characters and were en-
graved by order of the Persian king,
Darius Hystaspis, about 500 years
B. G. They are in three languages
Persian, Babylonic and Scythic-
and arc Oh the perpendicular face of
the rock 800 feet from the ground.
Examination shows that great
labor was expended in making the
face of the rock perfectly smooth
before the inscriptions were put on.
Places where the great stono wall
happened to be uneven or otherwise
defective were made smooth by in
eerting pieces of stones, which were
held in place with molten lead.
After the inscriptions had becn put
on a coating of silica was spread
over it, and now, after lapse of 24
centuries, this silicious covering is
harder than the face of the rock
itself, the curious characters of the
inscription shining from beneath
the polished surface rs if it we're
but the work Of yesterday.
James Watson Dawson and Sir
Henry Rawiinson translated tho
major portion of the inscriptions.
According to these two eminent
oriental scholars, it gives the gene
alogy of Darius Hystaspis for eight
generations, rccounts the provinces
OF his empire and gives history of
his daring achievements. Besides
the letters and characters, this great
stone book of history is we'll illLs-
trated. One of these curious efforts
of the early artist represents Darius
armed with bow, his foot upon the
PROSTATE figure of a man, while nine
others chained together by the necks
stand humbly before him. Taken
all in all, this Bchistun inscription
; is one of the most remarkable works
of art left by the ancient nations.

Construction of the Earthworm

A slight acquaintance with the
anatomy of an earthworm enables
us to understand why the body is
divided into a number of rings, or
"segments," as they are moro gener-
ally termed. The internal organs,
instead of being distributed among
the segments, are for the most part
repeated from segment to segment.
It follows, therefore, that when the
gardeners spade shears off several
inches of worm the animal is not
deprived of one or more essential
organs, but only of less or greater
number of parts of these organs.
Spalanzani was the first natural
ist who made-about 200 years ago
experiments of this kind, which
proved, as a subsequent writer
pointed out, that 'sby strange para
doX in nature the most useless and
contemplate lives are, of all others,
extinguished with the greatest diff
culty.''
In addition to these advantages
in its construction, the carthworm
has certain amount of cunning
which must enable it to escape some
foes. On mild, wet evenings innu-
merable worms may be seen lying
out with the ends of their tails fixed
in their burrows. On the slightest
alarm they rapidly retire under
ground.

From a Bachelors View.

Whether ne love to live or live to
love we all get to the same jump
ing off place.
Nobody ever made fortune out Of
hope; bnt neither did anybody out Of
despair.
Hot weather is like an insult; the
more you think about it the more it
makes fool of you.
Gods patience cndureth even the
parents who tell Of the wonderful
things their children say.
Some women would rather have YOU
love EN- and beat 'em than not to do
either.
You can almost always tell when q
woman isn't interested in man by
the way she works so hard to try to
make him think she is.
After man has passed thirty. five
ne contcmplates matrimocy with about
as much romance as he looks around
for safe 4-per cent. investment.
Some people gamble in love on a
mighty small margin.
The only successful way a woman
can chase man is for him to chase
her.
Romantic love has been put away in
camphor along with the rest of our
grandmothers' things.
Boys could grow up to be pretty
sensible, on the average, if their moth
ers didn't have their queer notions
about what boy ought not to be.
A man can grind himself to fine
powder doing things for woman, but
unless he tells her about it she doesn't t
take any stock in it, and if he tells
her about it he needn't do any grind
ing.
A man who has no faults is fit only
to be an archangel or door r-mat.
The lace nigtt-gowns that a man
sometimes sees in shop window are
probably given to the poor.
The women talk o lot about meu
trying" to kiss them. No mar ever
"tries' to kiss woman; he just kiss
es her.
When girl knows that man does
not smoke she ought to find out whes
other queer thing there is about him
that would make her miserable if she
married him:
Love lasts pretty we'll. considering
all the wear and tear it has to stand.
When there are no men around to
help girl float she learns to swim
mighty quick.
It's generally easier to make love
to all the girls some of the time than to
some of the girls all the time.
No woman ever gets really interest
ed in man until she begins to worry
about whether other women think he
has good taste in neckties. .-New YorI.

insect Leaps With lta Nose.

Among the curious insects Of the
Malay peninsula recently studied by
Mr.. Nelson Annandale Of the London
geological society is one called the
lantern fly, which is remarkable for
its sudden leaps, made without the
aid Of its wings. It was only after
he had carried specimen back to
London and carefully examined it
that Mr.. Annandale discovered that
a curious projection on the front Of
its head, q kind of nose with a crease
in it, was the leaping organ. When
bent back under the abdomen and
suddenly released, it sent the insect
flying.

from Port Angeles to Gray's Harbor.
The applicants for the terminal facili-
ties are Josiah Quincy, ex-Mayor of
Boston; George H. Ferrons, general
counsel of the Western Union Tele

months and the balance of the road,
complete to Gray's Harbor, within
two years. They also bind themselves
to deposit $4,000 in the Clallam
