United States Abroad.

If you could only know what the

might join a society for the preserva'

original purity. There is neither rea-
son nor excuse for calling us "Stati
Uniti,' in Italian; "Estados Unidos.'
in Spanish; "Etats- Unis," in French;
"Vereinigte Staten" in German, etc.
The whole world should call us the
United States in plain Americanese.
But we are guilty Of Anglicizing the

Fortified Hat.

About four years ago Charley Erwin
paid a visit to the petrified forest Of
Arizona, and while there left a large
sombrero under the natural bridge
near the falls, and in such a position
that the water dripped on it. One side
Of the brim was pinned up to the
crown, and therein was worked with
cord the letters &C. E." In this place
the hat remained until about a month
ago, when Mr.. and Mrs. George Ruff.
ner were visiting at the place. Erwin
gave them description of the location
of his 'plant," and thither they went.
and found the hat. A complete petri-
fication Of the chepeau had taken
place. 1t was absolutely stone. Mrs.
Ruffner brought it home with her.
and now has it, regarding it as one Of

Seven Aldermen Of Peszer, Hungary,

An amazing tragedy, and one, in all

taken place at Peszer, a small mum.
cipality in southern Hungary.
The entire municipal council, con.
sisting of seven persons, all related to
each other, committed suicide.
The reason for this is as remarkable
is the act itself. It appears that an
opportunity arose TO sell a forest
which was municipal property.
The council resolved itself on this
occasion into family council, and the
almost care was taken by the seven

sale should transpire in the neighbor
hood.
With the secrecy of plotters they
held meetings to discuss the matter,
made their own terms and concluded
The sale without any of the other in
habitants being any the wiser. Deeds
we're drawn up by themselves, and az
:hey were the only members of the
council no outside signatures were
necessary.
The sum paid for the forest was
considerable, but, instead of passing
into the municipal exchequer, it was
divided into seven portions. and each
Of the related councillors appropriated
4 share and kept it for his own use.
At last, however, the whole affair
was discovered iE dramatic manner.

A Mountain Of Alum.

In China, about twelve mics from
the village of Lion Chek, there is a
mountain of alum, which, in addition
to being natural curiosity, is source
of wealth for the inhabitants of the
country, who dig from it yearly tons
of alum. The mountain is not less
than ten miles in circumference at
its base, and has height of nearly
1000 feet. The alum is obtained by
quarrying large blocks of stone, which
are first heated in great furnaces and
then in watts filled with boiling water.
The alum crystillizes and forms lay
CT about six inches in thickness. This
layer is subsequently broken up into
blocks weighing about ten pounds
each.

snakes and other varieties more or less
venomous. The reptiles resented the
intrusion, and it was only after prct-
ty lively fight that they were killed.
Al first the workmen thought that the
snakes had gathered here to hiber-
nate. but an investigation showed that
all had fallen into the pit and had no
way to escape. Many Of them may
have been there for years. ard had
