A recent traveller in Central Africa
gives several instances of the capaci-
ty for sleep developed by his Arab SER
wants. He mentions one of these men
as being u~ndisturbed by the discharge
of firearms within two feet of his
head. Another is described as follows:
Salam, u Arab boy, sleeps more
soundly than any one else I have ever
come across. 1t is a task of no ordinary
magnitude to wake him. He tells a
story in regard to himself to the effect
that one night, when he was travelling
with an Arab in North Africa, he had
to sleep with their donkey tethered to
his leg to keep it from running away.
When he woke in the morning he
found that the donkey had wandered
away to a considerable distance, and
had dragged him along. Judging from
our own experience of his sleeping
powers, We do not think the story in
credible.

A teacher in a New York public
school discovered that some of her pu-
pills were deficient in the little ameni-
ties of polite life, and took it upon
herself to instruct them in the graces
of courtesy: She observed that when
ever one of the boys passed in front
of the visitors at the school, a strange,
puzzled expression came into their
faces. The secret came a few days later,
when, happening to stand near the
visitors, she heard this boy jerk out,
as he shambled a~wkwardly by: "Bak-
ing-powder." She fastened to explain
that the difference beween Beg your
pardon" which she had told him to
say, and "Baking-powder," which he
had understood her to say, was wide
enough to justify further instructions.

~ROCKEFELLER's N
1t Consists of 14,OOO Acres in Kiowa
County, Kan.

County, Kan.
Down in the southeast corner of
Kiowa county, Kan. on one of the
finest ranches of the boundless west,
Frank Rockefeller, brother of John
and William Rockefeller, spent the
summer. Ranching can scarcely be said
to be a recreation with Frank Rookie
Teller, for he makes it a business, the
object of which is to raise blooded cat
tie for money. In the winter Frank
Rockefeller, who is the youngest of
the brothers, lives in Cleveland and
attends to his interests in stocks and
oil, but in the summer he throws him
self with yigor into ranch life. For
half of his fifty years he has owned this
14,000-acre ranch, which is called Sol
der Creek Park, from the sparkling
stream which waters it. AS he takes
his family to live with him here in the
summer, Mr.. Rockefeller's group of
ranch buildings are unsurpassed in the
state for luxuriousness. The large
frame house is equipped with modern
improvements. On his ranch is raised
all the necessary grain to feed his
stock. There are $500 acres under
cultivation, 500 acres being in alfalfa,
a desirable feed for fattening purposes.
He can raise three crops of alfalfa
in a single season and then have a
good fall p~asturage on the field. There
are 300 acres in wheat, 800 acres in
rye and the remainder in kafir corn.
The fine qualities of these lie in their
stability for feeding and forage. A
large orchard has lately been put out,
many of the trees already bearing
fruit.-New York Press.

Few things are more joyous to an
audience than the mixed metaphors of
an orator. The Irish race is famous
for it's contributions to merriment in
this particular. The Academy gives
three illustrations: you are" said

ing on the edge of a precipice that will
be a weight on your necks all the rest
of your days" '"The young men of
England remarked an English clergy
man, "are the backbone of the British
Empire. What we must do is to train
that backbone and bring it to the
front" And this is from a member OF
Parliament: Even if you carried
these peddling little reforms, it would
be only like a fea-bite in the ocean,"

THE PISTOL.

The latest in small arms is the pis-
tol which has just been adopted by
the Swiss government and has lately
been tested by the United States war
department. In speaking of it in the
American Machinist, G. H. Powell
calls attention to the fact that the
limited range of the revolver is large
ly due to the escape of the powder gas
about the cylinder, and then says:
What is known as the automatic
pistol of today seems almost a perfect
realization of the ends sought. Though
called automatic, this Weapon is in
reality only semi-automatic. as sue
cesslve pressures on the trigger are
necessary to its operation.
This weapon is a repeating arm in
which the force of the expansion of the
gas-the recoil, or kicks utilized
after each shot to ope the breech-
BLOCK, extract the empty case, cock the
nflng-p1n, and, by means of a recuper-
atlve spring, charge the pistol with a
new cartridge, the operator merely
having to press the trigger for each
successive shot" In editorial COM
ment the journal just referred to re-
marks: The performance of this
Luger pistol is remarkable, as shown
by tests of army boards. Twenty-four

Some "soulless corporations. of the
wild West" have lately given a prac-
teal demonstration in good morals. An
attempt was made in Omaha to con-
duct Sunday exhibitions. 1t came to
grief because the railroads centering
there refused to increase the Sunday
work of their employees, 1t is their
policy to decrease rather than increase
the number of Sunday trains. The wise
among even the irreligious admit that
the weekly rest day is profitable both
Tor capital and for labor.

RICH MEXICAN.
THINK or A RANCH CONTAINING
100000 ACRES!
Wen, the Owner Has, in Addition to
that Ranch, Some 100000 acres in
Other Parts of the Mexican Republic
Estate OF o 10000 900.

When the estate of an American
capitalist reaches $50, OO0, 900 everybody
in the United States knows who he is,
and his name is familiar throughout
the civilized world wherever newspa
pers are printed and read. In Mexico,
however, it is different. There are
many men in Mexico whose fortunes
run over the $4,000, 900 mark who arr
hardly known out of their own State
One of these is Don Luis Terrazas, of
Chihuahua, formerly Governor of
Chihuahua. Don Luis Terrazas is
owner of one ranch in the State of
Chihuahua that, according to the fig
ures of a correspondent of the Chicago
Inter Ocean, comprises 18, 900, 900 acres,
and he has 10000 600 acres in other
parts of the republic. On these ranches
an average of 700,0 900 head OF cattle,
1000 sheep, and 100, 900 horses Craze
the year round. He markets more than
$4,000 head of cattle every year, and a
third as many sheep. This great ranch
begins at the city limits of Chihuahua
and extends ITO miles north toward Ell
Paso. 1t is over 100 miles wide, and
extends into the richest part of the
Sierra Madre mountains. Over 100, 900
acres of his estate are in good state of
cultivation and well improved. The
Terrazas estate is estimated at $780,
100000 Mexican money. Besides his
ranch interests he is the heaviest stock
holder in the Banco Minero, Chihua-
hua; Agricultural and Mortgage Bank,
City of Mexico; Banco Central Mexi-
cano, City of Mexico; Anglo-Mexican
Banking Company, City of Mexico, and
Mercantile Bank of Monterey, and con-
trolls the chihuahua wooden mills,
flour factory, packing company, cloth
ing factory, brewery, and street car
system, besides being one of the heavy
owners of the Chihuahua and Pacific
railroad. With all this colossal fortune
General Terrazas lives a modest life.
He has an Office and private bank in
his residence in Chihuahua, where
twenty clerks are employed to attend
to his affairs. He seldom travels, pre-
ferring to take a trip to his ranch to

the United States only twice. Courte-
GUS, obliging, and ~unassuming, the
multi-millionaire has made himself one
of the most popular men in Mexico. He
gives away thousands of dollars to the
poor every year, and is now supporting
several churches and schools. He is a
believer in education, and all of his
five children have been educated in the
United States. He has done more to
bring American capital into Mexico
than any other man, and the develop
ment of the mining resources of North
ern Mexico are largely due to his
efforts. The humble beggar and the
millionaire railroad promoter are re-
ceived alike in his Office, and he never
turns a man away without a hearing.
He is now nearly 10 years old, and gives
little of his time to his business, leav-
ing everything in the hands of his
three sons. Old as he is, General
Terrazas maintains the active control
of his vast estate, looking after all the
details as carefully as a man of 40.
