Dionyslux, Ear.

In Syracuse is a ave said to have

sius. probably used as a prison. 1t is
made in the shape of an immense hui

most remarkable. Maxwell Sommer-
yille, the author Of "Sands of Sahara"
visited It and had its properties exhib-
tied to him by the guide stationed
there. -
The man took a sheet Of letter paper
and, standing within the portal of the
ear, struck the edge Of the paper with

peated through the deep orifces ofthat
stone ear as if 1t had been a blow with
a heavy sledge hammer on the roof Of
an iron house. He then ratified the pa

augmented a millionfold, reverberating
through the vaults above and beyond
like the crash and roll Of thunder. He

of stentorian voices repeated every

Welcomed the Circus.

Howard Paul told an amusing story
Of his first Italian tour, when a party
Of so were piloted about by Thomas
Cook, the founder of the famous firm:
1--WE a~scertained that he had ar
ranged at Pisa for a number of open
carriages to take us from the railway
station to the leaning tower-about the
only object of interest there was to
see in that archaic place. 1 telegraph
ed to the mayor Of Pisa that Cooks
circus from England would pass
through the town and that I desired
him to announce it by bulletin IN the
Marie and any points where the pub
lie would see the notice, that they
might extend to the troupe a hearty
welcome.
Not %suspecting a joke, the mayor
did as I suggested, and when we ar
rived, entered the coaches and drove
in procession through the town the
streets were thronged with spectators,
who now and then sent up delirious
cheers and shouted 'viyas' in demon
strative fashion. Mr.. Cook q rode in
his carriage) was astounded at the
enthusiasm of the inhabitants end was
puzzled to know how they knew the
English tourists were coming. as he
had only communicated with the sta
ton master regarding the vehicles.
"Of course. as the author of the little
comedy, l could not enlighten him, and
when my American friend and l called
on the mayor to thank him for his
courteous attention to my requests he
gently inquired where the horses We're,
as the Inhabitants would prefer to
have seen us mounted. My Yankee
partner in the sell was equal to the
occasion, and. as he spoke a little Ital-
ian. he informed the official that the
horses were so numerous they would
come or by a later train.
1.-THE secret was well kept, and, as
Mr.. Cook and none of the tourists were
linguists and as we only remained in
Pisa three hours, they all departed in
wonderment as to why their advent
had earned such extraordinary ex-
acknowledgements

a2dEsxzSli-' The 1Picket.O axgS

-
The picket was generally inflicted on
cavalry and artillerymen and was a
singularly brutal bit of torture. A long
post, near which stood a stool, vas
driven into the ground. The delinquent
was ordered to mount the stool, and
his right hand was fastened to a hook
in the post by a moose, drawn up as
high as it could be stretched. round his
wrist. A stump the height of the stool,
with it's end cut to a round and blunt
point, was also driven into the earth
close to the post. Then the stool was
taken away, and the sufferer had moth
ing to rest his bare feet upon but the
stump, (which, though it did not usu-
ally break the skin" says Captain
Grose, put him in great torture, his
only means of relief being by resting
his weight on his wrist, the pain Of
which soon became intolerable." One
can very well believe him, especially
when he makes the addition that a
man was not infrequently left to stand
in this position for half an hour, al
though the orthodox period of endur-
ancew was 15 minutes.-London Graphic.

Kansas City, June Mot since the

Delegates Settle Down to Business at
ST. Paul.

OF TduIs e.EY@Ha
st. Paul, June THE delegates to
the 18th biennial head camp of the
Modern Woodmen of America yester-
day evinced a disposition to fully dis
cuss all questions of Importance and
the morning session was enlivened by
a contest over the question of appoint
ing a committee to pass upon the re-
vision of the ritual as submitted by
Head Consul Northcott.
Mr.. Northcott had recommended
that this matter be passed upon by a
committee of ten, to be selected from
members of the order not delegates.
A resolution embodying this recon-
mendation was offered by Delegate
Swan Of Missouri, but after a heated
debate it was laid on the table. Later
Delegate Howard of Indiana presented
a resolution for a committee of ten
delegates to act upon the revision. An
attempt to amend this by adding two
outside members was lost and the
Howard resolution carried. At the
afternoon session the reports Of Off
GERS and of various committees were
| presented.
The report of the laws committee
was taken up snd discussion began.
This report is to be considered section
! by section and will consume a large
| part of the week.
The question Of admitting Chicago
and five other large cities that are
now excluded from membership in the
order was precipitated by an amend
ment from the laws committee report
by Delegate Aleshire. but a decision
| was not arrived at.

WHEN Peril COMES.
Sudden and Extreme Danger the
Test of True Courage.

70 E-FH
1t is when the unexpected happens
that fatalism proves how fragile a prop
1t is, after all, for human courage. The
soldier or the sailor can say to himself
when he knows that he must take a
supreme risk in battle or in q storm:
81 am powerless against the fate which
was decreed for me from the beginning
Of the world. If my time has come, I
cannot help it; if not, all the forces of
earth and sky and ocean cannot prevail
to harm me-" But when without al in
stant's warning a rock crashes through
q ships bottom and &e waters rush
into the gap, when confusion seizes the
entire company aboard, when the fog is
too thick for the captain to be seen or
the oar Of the sea browns the sound Of
his orders a new test is applied. Then
1t is that the courage which rests on
nothing irmer than a negation gives
way, and in his greed to save his own
life the stole becomes as a mailman.
There have been steamship disasters
In which men of humble station. of all
colors and faiths, have shown the finest
quality of heroism, and there have been
those in which the common sailors, all
whites and Europeans, have earned
eternal disgrace by their cowardice.
The point we are making is not that it
is possible to draw a hard and fast line
between one religion and another or
one ace and another in the matter of
bravery, but that the affirmative sense
of responsibility for ones WI acts, Of
the difference between right and wrong,
between nobility and ignominy and of
the grandeur of duty well done at the
sacrifice of self. is a far surer depend
ence in the presence Of sudden peril
than all the stoical philosophers ever
worked out by the mind of man.

England's Tipping Act.

A queer English law. called the "tip-

Luxury as 1t Is Indulged In by the
Arctic Trnders.

So much has been written of the Es-

luxury which many of the factors and

in his cariole, swathed in furs, he is
driven by an engage on foot who dash

painted gaudily. There are Russian
bells on the collars of each of the long
span of dogs, while the harness is a
mass of beadwork and tassels.

a post does he partake solely of the

products of Chicago and Ontario, and,
moreover, his driver is his cook. In
the open a fire will be deftly kindled,

losing about 1000 to 5000 people. Is
