Paul Czolgosz. father of the anarch-

at 800 Fleet street, Cleveland, and dur
Ing his residence there has always had
the respect of his neighbors. Mrs.
Czolgosz, the assassin's stepmother, Is

seem, with the exception of the anarch-

he has no hesitation in saying that he

Gete HUGE Moose Horns.

Hunters Of the moose have encoun-
tered old fellows with enormous spread
Of horns, and some of these have been
preserved as trophies Of the chase. An
Indian hunter of the Hudson Bay Com
pany has slain the monarch of all
moose. Its massivs antlers, having Il
spread Of six feet two inches, large
enough to take in the figure Of an out
stretched man, now adorn the dining
hall of the country house Of Mr.. Olcutt,
a New Yorker, at Bernardsville. The
moose was shot last season at the head
of the Copper River region in Alaska,
some 800 miles above Cooks inlet,
whence it was afterward brought OH

a Chicago furrier, who had the head

A Loquactous Evening

1t Is seldom charged against nusi-
clans that they dislike notoriety and
alteration. but DIR. Hans Won Bulow.
the celebrated pianist. cordially detest-
cd the efYusive admiration OF the pub
lie. 1t is related of him that walking
one day In the streets Of Berlin, he
was approached by lady, who at
tempted to open conversation by
saying:
II lay any wager you please, Herr
Doctor, that you do not know who is
speaking to you."
"You win your bet. madam" replied
Won Bulow, as he bowed and walked
rapidly away.
Rubinstein, the contemporary Of Won
Bulow, and an even greater pianist
than he, had his moments of profound
silence. In his Personal Recollec-
tions" Sutherland Edwards gives an H.
lustration of this trait.
When he first came to England Ru.
binstein spoke but little English, and
never was great cOnversatiOnalist.
The same Glasgow amateur who used
to entertain Hans Won Bulow was also
on several occasions the host of Rubin
stein, and he once endeavored to make
his guest express his views In regard
to composers.
"Who Is your favorite masterT he
said, and as Rubinstein made no an.
swer he added. suggestively, ''Mendeis-
! sohnT'
"No," answered Rubinstein, and he
went on putting his cigar.
After pause my friend. who had
been questioning himself as to what
Rubinstein's special musical proclivi
ties could be, said to him: Wagner
"Still less" replied Rubinstein, ant
lighted a fresh cigar.
"Does not care for Mendelssohn. ane
thinks still less of Wagner" reflected
my friend. 1.-The MendelssOhnian'
hate Wagner. and the Wagnerites af
feet to despise Mendelssohn. Rubin
stein has not much admiration for eth
er Of them. Let me try again"
Then, after thinking for few min
utes, he suddenly exclaimed:
Beethoven
THAT is my man." said Rubinsteir
"And now." he added. good night
and thank you for your agreeable cor
versation."

An official Of the United States Pat
ent Office who Is preparing history
Of that institution has been impressed
with the idea that there Is little new
under the sun. He has pored over vol
umes Of ancient lore and satisfied him
self that the ingenuity Of moderns>was
discounted by the wise men Of an
tiquity. In art. in the sciences, In me-
chanics. our boasted progress seems to
him to have been vastly overrated.
There is not, he says, q single surgical
bandage Of which examples are not
seen In the swathings Of Egyptian
mummies. ''The Patent ONCE issues
patent for nickel-in-the-slot ma
chine described by Herodotus." Pliny
tells us Of copy Of the Had engraved
on so small piece of parchment that
the entire work was contained In nut
shell. Microscopes Of rock crystal were
found In the palace of NimrOd. Nero
had lenses made out Of an emerald,
with which from distance he watched
gladiatorial contests. The Romans. as
stated by Prof. Lanciani. had storage
warehouses and safety deposit vaults.
The ancients. according to this Pat
ent Office skeptic, were as full OF wis
dom as the moderns who ignorantly
undertook to patronize them. Their
mechanical contrivances and engineer
ing works were remarkable. Archi-
medes discovered many scientific prin-
ciples which are in use nowadays. Pub
lie works were Of the highest order.
The ancient Greek water supply sys-
tenn showed every modern improve
ment-such as we have acquired only
within the past ten years. The public
roads Of Peru were built of masonry,
were twenty-five feet wide. macadam-
lied with pulverized stone mixed with
lime and bituminous cement and wall

A sort Of telegraph system existed and
news was transmitted hundreds of
miles In day. When Peru was dis
covered" several centuries ago its
, woolen and cotton goods exceeded In
fineness any similar goods produced In
Europe. Plato knew that the earth was
round; other philosophers, now forgot

gravitation. Astronomers before the
Christian era understood the rotation
of planets and knew a great deal about

Good manners are the result Of train

formal rules Of politeness. Not one Of
these but teaches Difference to others
