A member of <th, New York
Stock Exchange tells a story of y
widow who consulted c stonecutter
in relation to q tombstone she de-
sired to have erected to the memory
of her husband.
After looking at various designs
she selected one with o number of
little lambs ornamenting the top.
"But, madam" expostulated the
dealer, "such one is hardly suit
able for IN adult. Lambs are sup-
posed to typify childhood"
"That's oil right" she replied.

"The queen, owing to the splendid
reputation Of King Solomon, whose

ANIMALS ABOARD SHIP.
They 1et Seasick, Though Not Just
the Way Human Beings Do.

They 1et Seasick, Though Not Just
the Way Human Beings Do.
Speaking of animals getting sick
.at sea-" said q man who has had some
experience with the dumb brutes on
the briny deep, f'I can tell you that
they do get sick, and sometimes they
get very sick too. Of course, they
do not manifest the sickness in the
way that human beings show it and
for reasons which will suggest them
selves on moments reflection.
But they nevertheless get quite as
sick as members of the human fam
lily. Seasickness in human beings
will manifest itself in violent vom-
iting. A seasick person cannot re-
tain anything in the stomach. The
'old rule that whatever goes up must
come down is in the case of pro-
nounoed seasickness reversed. What
ever goes down must come up. But
when we come to reckon with horses
and COWS we find different condi-
ton to deal with. Horses and COWS
never vomit, They Cannot, So here
right at the beginning of the mat
ter we find q reason for difference
i'm the way this peculiar sickness
shows itself in man and beast.
81 have had more. experience with
horses than with any other kind of
dumb animal and consequently
know more about the way the horse
suffers during seasickness. It is a
rather curious and rather interest
ing fact that the horse is more vyio-
lently attacked in the feet than in
any other portion Of the body. I
have seen the feet of horses at sea
swell until they could scarcely stand
.on them. Of course, the stomach
of the animal is affected to some
extent, but this is not so serious q
matter as the attack in the feet.
The effect of these attacks is some
times of lasting kind, and the
usefulness. Of horses lie seriously i'm
paired.
"The fact that seasickness attacks
the horse in the feet lis mainly due
to the peculiar influence vessels
motion has ON the kidneys of the
animal. At any rate, this is the
generally accepted view Of the mat
ter. We cannot say definitely just
why horses get knotty feet at sea,
but the popular view of horsemen
who have studied the matter is as
stated. As to COWS, I do not know
a great deal about them, but I un-
~derstand the chief trouble with
them at sea is that they lose their
taste for food and quit eating."-

Confederate Claims.

Representative johnson, Of South
Carolina, has secured from the War
Department mitigation of the cons
ditions originally imposed by the de-
partment precedent to the allowance Of
the claims Of Confederate soldiers for
side arms, horses and baggage taken
from them in violation Of the terms Of
their parole by Federal troops.
There are thousands of these claims
ranging in amount from $50 to $500,
and Congress has appropriated $780,
Gee Gee foT foTT thhoir payment. This sum is
insufficient. but there seems to be no
question that as much more as is need
ed to pay all the claims allowed will be
forthcoming.
The claimant was originally required
to show he was confederate soldier;
that he had been paroled; that the
property was his own, and to establish
its value, and that it had been taken
by union ,aoldiers, acting under che
direct orders OF officers. The fret
three Of these conditions were not
onerous or difficult Of proof, but to
establish chat che taking was directed
by an officer wac never easy, and some-
times impossible.
The department., at Representative
Johnson's 3 instance, has now s.:;e,ad to
be content with the shcaing .rat an
officer was,present when the property
was taken and concurred, at least tao
lilly, in the act. With this concession
Mr.. johnson hopes to secure the al
lowanoe of several hundred clsims Of
his constituents, who have placed the
matter in his hands. As the ruling
will, Of course, be general in its appli-
cation, it will facilitate largely the al-
lowanoe Of claims Of Confederate SOL

Millions For Goat Skins.

A new industry is Offering itself to
the farmers and manufacturers of the
United States. The fact that S25 ,000,-
600 Of goat skins are now annually
imported into the United States aud
that our enterprising manufacturers
are now obliged to send half way
round the world for large share of
them suggests that the farmers Of this
country have great opportunity to
put large share Of shis sum into
their own pockets and that the entire
sum may be divided between our pro-
ducers aud manufacturers. Importa-
tions of gcstskins into the United
States now amount to about $25, ,G00,-
900 per annum, and large share o.
these are brought from India, China,
Arabia, and southeastern Russia. The
increasing popularity Of certain GLASS
es of kid leather for footwear, as we'll
for gloves, has greatly increased the
demsnd for goas-skins ia the United
States with recent years. In 1856 the
value Of goatakins imported was about
%, 900, 600; by 1890 it had grown to
S6, 900, 900; by 1898 it was 5,0OO.-
600; in 1900 it was S22, 100000, and
in 1908, in round numbers, $25,000,-
600.
The farmers Of the United States
are apparently making no effort to reap
any part Of this golden harvest for
themselves. The census Of 1900 show
ed the total number Of goats in the
United States 90 be less than 2, ,000, 900
and when tits understood that the
skins Of probably 20,0O0,0OO goats
were required to make the $25, 900, 900
worth imported last year, it can be
seen that the supply from the United
States could have furnished but a
email share Of the total consumption.
Yet the fact that large share Of our
supply Of this important import comes
from India, China, France and Mexi-
GO, suggests that there are large areas
in the United States which might pro-
duoe goats successfully and in suhi-
ciently large numbers to supply the
entire hoiaS aemand.-Harper' Week

Sayings OF Jesus Found.

Some hitherto undiscovered sayings
Of Jesus Christ have been recently
dug up near Cairo, Egypt, bys party
Of English archaeologists. The writ
ings, which are on pspyrus, have been
buried since the second century of the
Christian era, aud there seems to be
no doubt Of their authenticity.
All Of the sayings begin with the
| words: "Jesus saith" although uu-
fortunately many Of the endipgs Of
the various lines have become oblite-
rated. All Of them appear to have
been addressed TO st. Thomas. Some
OF them show variations in phrase o.
logy from the words recorded in the
four gospels, although the spirit is
exactly the came; and this in itself
seems to go far towards proving the
authenticity of them.
One variation is different reading
Of the eleventh chapter and fifty-sev-
enth verse Of St. Luke, which is in
the known version:
"Woe unto you, lawyers. For ye
have taken away the key Of knowledge;
ye entered not in yourselves. and
them that were entering in ye hind
ered."
The papyrus just found has it:
| aye have hidden the key OF know
ledge; ye entered not yourselves, and
20 them that were entering in ye did
not OPEN"
One Of the sayings which is the
most notable is the following message
OF admonition and encouragement:
'.Het not him that seeketh cease
from his search until he find, aud when
ne 6nds he shall wonder; wondering
he shall pass into the kingdom-that
is, the kingdom Of heaven-and when
he reaches the kingdom he shall have
| rest
Another new saying which is SUE
| TO arouse vast interest is the implicit
answer to question ss TO when the
kingdom Of heaven is to be realized.
Christ's disciples propounded this
query to Him; and he answered:
"When ye return to the state Of in
nocenoe which existed before the fell. "
This is psyallel statement to the
one which tells men that unless they
become as "lit.ie children" they shall
not enter tts kingdom Of heaven.
The variations of the new findings,
from the accepted texts, are important
though not as tending to disprove the
authenticity of either the one or the
other. The differences in the four 40
cepted gospels themselves are excel
lent proof, if proof were needed, of
their authenticity. Different men,
writing Of the same thing, will never
treat the subject exactly alike in the
| most literal of reports. Had Matthew
mals, luke and John been connivin G
TO ses down something which neaeF oo-
CURED they would have revealed them
selvee by the absolute agreement Of
their stories. But the gospels are
not in need Of any defense. The new
~ discovered sayings recorded by st.
Thomas may help TO throw light on
some passages Of the Bible;- but they
should be no Gauss 9oE dissension.
