QUEER DWELLING PLACES.
Towns in Trees and Cities in Caves
and Craters

It is mistake to suppose that the
whole of the 100000 600 Of the earth's in
n nsa,.15 s., I'VE upon ne snrfaee Of the
beneath it. The people Of Tuplselel have
no need to travel far when they want to
take a salt water bath. the town IS built
on piles, which have been driven into a
submerged coral reef situated far out in
/ the Torres straits to the south of New
Guinea Opposite this extraordinary set
/ tlement, on the mainland is another VIII
1age that is perched high in the air among
I the gigantic palm trees with which the
coast is fringed. The object Of both COM
munities in choosing these curious sites

surprised by their numerous enemies and
/ especially they seek safety from the prowl-
I ing Dyak head hunters
People afflicted with diseases not infre-
quently develop strange tads as regards
] the choice of their abiding places. Not
! long since. for instance a number of con
sumptives agreed together to dwell within

and the house so strangely and laborious-
~ built are now given over to tramps, out
laws and other similar chance sOiourners
Better luck has attended the little colony
of people similarly afflicted, who a rev
years back, settled within the landlocked
crater bay which constitutes practically
the whole interior of the volcanic island Of
St Paul in the Indian ocean Here they
are entirely protected against all wind. no
matter from what quarter Of the compass
it may chance to blow; while hot natural
baths al varying temperatures are always
available. The very ground, too, is kept at
a constantly equable heat by the latent
volcanic fires within. And, lastly, food of
all kinds is plentiful and varied, and in
cludes such curious and unusual delica cias
as sea elephants fins and tails. crayfisn
and other crustacea in endless variety,
and the succulent "Nerguelen cabbage"
No wonder that many of those who have
been cured have preferred settling on the
island to returning to their homes.-Tit-

search, and we who are here tonight
are protiting by it. No man can detract
from his greatness, and no man can
wish for a nobler example to guide him.
I may incidentally observe that the nose
and one ear OF this bust have been
broken. and the left eye is gOuged out,
but do not let those trifes have any ct
feet in sizing him up as man. He was
not noted for his beauty, and his ways
were of the slip-shOd order, but we must
look at him mentally instead of physlc-
ally. I wish to be looked at that way
myself. There are no more Americas
Left for me to discover, but I have the
same aims and ambitions that surged
back and forth in this great mans soul
as he sat on his doorstep ana thought
of the future.
we now come to the kangaroo Hav-
ing been dead for the last Is years, and
being stuffed with hay, he has lost
much of his natural artfulnesss but he
is here to point a moral. and can do It
dead as we'll as living. When nature had
created all other animals she decided to
bring forth something that could jump
q feet without touching the grass. The
kangaroo. which up to that time was
a bob-tasled animal walking about on
four legs, offered himself TO be expert
mented upon. He had aims and ambi-
lions and aspirations. He wanted 10
rise above the hog and the hyena. Ma
ture took him in hand and made him
over as you see him tonight. He is all
hind legs and tail and his beauty IS
nothing to brag of. but where on the
face of this earth is a thing on legs that
can outjump him2 He holds the record,
and it will never be taken from him.
You don't grow hind legs like his, and
you must be content with jumping a
four-ral fence but the moral lesson
should not be lost upon you. He that
would rise Will rise. He that would soar
viii eventually push his way to the
front and head the procession. AS
I stepped off the cars this afternoon 1
observed II men whiting away at
shingles in front of a grocery, while a
jackass stood looking on and nibbling
at a roadside thistle. There appeared
to be no swelling ambitions, no high
+ aspirations, so signing for fame, but the
world turns and men turn with it, and
who shall say to what heights that
crowd of IS may not attain when my
+ combination reaches Bulls Ferry again.
Citizens all. I am glad to have met
you / am glad to have taken in $3.50
at the door I am glad to have melted
you to greatness. and I trust that in
making your way out of the hall you
won't break the backs off any chairs or
smash any kerosene lamps. Copy
right, 1908, by c. B. Lewis.)

0. HOPE JONES.
He Returns to the Show Business and
Delivers q Lecture.

Citizens of Bulls Ferry: 1 had the
nonor of informing you by yellow pos
tiers pasted on the walls of your historic
and picturesque town that I would open
my show in this hall this evening, and
am before you. Three years ago. while
travelling about the country with an
unparalleled aggregation Of dead and
living wonders, which included an
Egyptian mummy made in Chicago and
a What-Is-It that ate raw beef before
the audience and played poker with me
behind the scenes, / became possessed
of the idea that I could do more for
humanity by selling my show and going
into the windmill business. Time has
shown me my mistake. Not that every
succeeding windmill erected in this
country does not tend to make hu-
manity happier and more content, there
by adding to the general goodness, but
the business has so many opportunities
of skinning Uncle Reuben that con-
science compelled me to abandon it.
This show business is on the square. It
goes when the wind blows, and it goes
without any wind at all. You pay for
what you get, and you get what you
pay for. There is nothing to conceal.
and no extra charges to dispute about
when the show closes can take your
money at the door and then look you
in tie eve from the platform without
feeling that [ have robbed YOU.

A $4,000 MAUSOLEUM.
sages Will Have One Built Like a
Greek Temple.

Mrs Russell Sage has arranged for
mausoleum of Westerly granite in Oak
wood cemetery. Troy, \. Y, in the form
of a Greek temple. the cost of which
will approximate $4,000.
The decision was arrived at while Ms
Sage was at Troy last week to address
the graduates of the Emma Willard
seminary, the alma mater for which sire
has done so much. The temple Will be
Oblong in shape like the jay Gould
mausOleum. but whether the pillars are
to be huted or smooth has not been de-
cfded Work viii shortly be begun. the
temple to occupy the center of the Sage
lot. the granite shaft which marks the
burial place of Mr.. Sage's first wife to
remain undisturbed-
THE idea Of the mausCleum is no new
one" said Mrs Sage, when seen at her
home 5O4 Fifth avenue. 1T has been in
our minds for three years. The acct
dent of my being in the city brought it
to a head. that is all Mr.. Sage agreed
with me that now was as good time
as any to have 1t attended to-
She laughingly diselaimed any felan-
choly tendencies.
Il am much too busy with the unset
tied state of things in my home and the
moving before me TO think very much
about vaults lakewood has always APP
pealed to me as one of the most beautl-
fll spOts l have ever seen. and it will
satisfy me to know that the mausoleum
is there"
The cemetery contains a crematory,
but Mrs. Sage has no favor for that
method of disposing of the dead.
1T seems to me against all Bilical
teaching to destroy the bodies of our
dead" she said. And at least. it is
against nature A mausoleum is. of
course. a reminder of death. but It is
good that we should think of it some
times and prepare for it''-New York
