RICH REPUBLIC OF MONKS.
AthOa, Turkey, IH an Independ-
ent Commonwealth.

On the east point of the sacred
Mount Athos, on the Turkish penin-
sula Chalkidike, is a settlement Of
5000 monks, scattered among 20 mon
asteries, the whole forming a mon
astic republic in the dominions of
the sultan, to whom they are tribu-
tary. The yearly tribute they pay
to Abdul Hamid is by no means a
small one, but the sum is easily met
by the republic, which is very rich
and counts many millionaires among
it's members.
AS an independent commonwealth
the republic maintains its own ship,
a sailing vessel, called PollSroy Press
wiatyja Bogorotizy. A short time
since this vessel lay in the harbor
of the south Russian town of Tag
anrog. She is in reality a floating
monastery. Painted black, she car
ries at her bow the large cross Of
the Pantelei monastery on Mount
Athos.
The captain, Father Gerassim, and
the whole crew are monks from
Mount Athos and wear the monastic
dress, says the New York Times. The
ships cargo consists of holy Oil from
Mount Athos for the Panteleimon
monastery in Moscow. There is a
church on board and all of the crew
live under the rules of their order.

HE WAS QUITE A BOY.
Only Slxty-Elght, and There He Had
Been Envying the Man of
SeYenty-FOur.

Two elderly men were conspicuous
the other morning in a Sixth avenue
elevated train. They entered at op-
posite ends of the car. One was
short, slow, and heavy of tread, and
yet obviously anxious to appear spry
and youthful. The other was tall,
spare and active, and only gave token
of advanced years by the fussiness
with which he busted the car seat
before settling down to his morning
paper.
As the crowd thinned out at Park
place the two men caught sight Of
each other and the tall one moved
over to seat alongside his friend,
relates the New York Times.
"How spry you are for your age!"
remarked the short one, with n
symptom of envy in his tone.
"Age?" exclaimed the other.
"Why, I have not begun yet to grow
old. I am only "a"
"Well, WELL" puffed the stout one,
"are you "a? l didn't think you were
older than I am. l am only g."
"Why," exclaimed the lean one,
tapping his companion playfully on
the knee, you are quite boy yet"

head and went sailing serenely down
the Slpquehanna. We pulled anchors
with all haste and were away after the
floating articles.
After a ten-minute chase they were
captured and put up in the boat to dry,
and we were again ready to fish-but,
OH what did 1 catch? 1t was mere'y
an old root which took me about ten
minutes to free from the line. Uncle
had a very short, slender pole, with
which he was fond of throwing a
long line. After fishing for about
half an hour without even a bite, he
concluded that he had too short a
line, and at once unreeled about so
feet or more and attempted to throwit;
vain attempt-the line was wound
around my pole, one anchor, and both
oars, and in the struggle the bait
box was knocked into the river, where
it Immediately sunk.
No, uncle was not provoked, merely
nervous; so nervous that a very Wig
orous jerk which he gave his line left
his pole broken above the second
joint.
1t took us only a short time to go
home. and when l go fishing again l
shall sit on the shore and fish for
sinners. Uncle will have to put in
new supply of fishing tackle and when
next he goes he will doubtless con-
slider it more profitable to go alone,
or, if he takes me, to at least teach
me how to pull in a root.

"You can tell a clerk by the drop OF
his left shoulder, and by the lump on
the side of his right middle finger. His
left shoulder is made lower than the
right one by the attitude in which he
sits and writes-an attitude wherein
the left side is depressed and the right
one elevated for long hours at time.
The lump on the side of the middle fin
ger is a callosity that the pressure OF
the pen causes. This lump is at the first
roint. on the side toward the foretin-
ger, and all clerks have it.
"The jeweler reveals himself by the
way he holds his hands. Unconsciously,
through the daily lifting and setting
down and arranging of many costly,

he walks along with his hands held
little out from his sides, and making
little, graceful, finicking movements in
the air.

WHERE DWARFS ARE MADE.
torted for the Purpose of Put
ting Them Out to Beg.

Some interest has of late been
aroused in Madras by the exhibition
of two dwarfs who are alleged to be
over so years of age, and are brother
and sister These beings are not only
small but distorted. 1t is believed
that dwarfs are manufactured" in
Indian. There is a practice extant in
the Punjab of elongating infants
heads so as to render them out Of all
proportion to the body. The effect Of
compression on the brain renders the
victims idiotic, says the London FIX
press.
They are sent around to beg. and in
their peregrinations visit the Madras
and Bombay presidencies. An instinc;
akin to that of an animal. however,
still lives in the distorted beings, and
invariably brings them back to their
masters. They are known as "Shah
Shuia's mice" from the name of the
temple where they are manufactured
The children, it is stated, are owed to
the temple by fanatical women.

GIRL GOES A-FISHING.
experienced Anglers Are Quite
Certain to Have.

My uncle, who is SO years old, was
induced by me-one of those girls that
delight in all outdoor sports-to go
for a days fishing on the river, says
writer in Forest and Stream.
The bass were plenty in the Susque-
hanna, and from all reports also bit
ing well.
Now, uncle was a great fisherman,
usually coming in with an empty bait
box and an equally empty fish-basket
but still his enthusiasm was always
great, and the immense fish that he
lost and the many bites he had were
truly remarkable.
For long time this fishing trip had
been planned, so one morning when
the wind was in the south and clouds
were overhead, our preparations were
begun. OF course, the nearest creek
was first visited for minnows, when,
after a struggle with brush, bitches,
tangled lines, and the loss of several
hooks, we succeeded in capturing six,
which, by the way, were nearly large
enough for eating.
Well, we were tired with this at
tempt, and little bit discouraged, but
we at least had the consolation of
knowing where to get some worms to
finish out for bait.
Finally, about noon, we were on our
way to the river, which was about a
quarter of a mile away. Uncle was
laden with the minnow pail, two an
chors and the fish poles, while | had
the bait-box, lunch basket and an UNI
brella. We were indeed well equipped.
After securing a neighbours boat,
we had to fix the anchors and rig the
fish-poles, and, as it was now long
after noon, we concluded to eat our
lunch. This task was soon COM
pleted, and we were at last on the wa
ter. At the mouth of small creek,
which uncle said would be fine place
for bass, the anchor was dropped and
fishing was commenced.
We found that the minnows were all
dead, as the pail leaked, and the wa
ter had nearly all run out, so we had
to use worms for bait.
1 had just thrown my line in the
water, put up my umbrella (the sun
was now shining), when, jerk went
something at my line. Of course, 1
at once pulled it up, so quickly, in
fact, that my umbrella went handle
down in the river, and with my pole
uncle's hat was knocked from his

Big Trees of Florida.

1t is difficult even to guess at tho
age of the ancient live oaks, says
Country Life in America, but some
of them must number centuries, and
the oldest and greatest of them all
is a monarch of the forest, with its
outer branches sweeping the ground
in a circle 120 feet across, with limbs
as great as ordinary trunks of trees
and bearing a garden of aerial ferns
and air plants upon their bark. This
venerable tree is supposed to be the
largest live oak in Florida. EnormouS
grapevine trunks rise sinuouslJ from
the ground and lose themselves amid
the quarter-acre of foliage that
crowns this tree; the saplings that
once gave them support have disap'
peared long years ago, their only
record being the angles and curves
of grape vine stem to which they lent
their transient aid in climbing sky
yard.

GOATS FURNISH THE MILK.
The People of Malta Derive Their
Entire Supply of LacteaI Fluid
from the Animals.

The population of the island OF
Malta, situated in the Mediterranean
sea, amounting to some 100000 souls,
derives its entire milk supply from
the goat herds that abound in that
little speck of rock. 1t is estimated
that there are about 10000 goats on
the island. There are no regular
grazing fields for goats, but every
morning the herds are driven out
along the roads and hillsides. where
they pick up whatever they can find
in the way of weeds or any other
edible matter, which, however, sell
dom includes grass. This is supple
mented by carob beans when the
herd is driven back to shelter at
night
How the Maltese goat can give the
quantity and quality of milk which
II does upon this food is a matter
of frequent conjecture and it is out
of the question to get anything but
thin and watery milk from COWS I'M
der the same conditions. An average
goat produces 41s pints OF milk per
day and the animals cost from SIC
to $25 each. No special effort seems
to be made by the natives to pre-
serve strains, but. nevertheless, the
Maltese goat manages to keep up its
reputation for looks and productive
mass

SHE WASN'T THE REAL THING.
Posed as n Social Queen, But She
Showed a WOeSuI Ignorance OF
the Requirement..

She looked like "the real thing"
The women in the corridor, who were
also becomingly groomed, looked
after her enviously as she swished
rhythmically past them into the re-
ception room at the end of the hall
and the men supplemented this atten-
ton with admiring mods and softly
modulated "whew-ew-ews," relates
the New York Times.
The dozen people already gathered
in the reception room reading and
talking were likewise visibly i'm
pressed with the general excellence Of
her manner and appearance and every
one of them would have been willing
to take oath that there wasn't kink
in up-to-date life that she was not fa-
miliar with.
By and by the charming creature be-
gan to give evidence of an uneasiness
that went little way toward dfspell-
ing the illusion. She looked doubt
fully about as if seeking something
she wanted badly, but didn't know
how to get. Presently she spied lit
tie black knob far up on the wall near
the door, and she stood up on her tip
toes and turned it gingerly. In an in
slant darkness had settled upon the
face of the reception-room and all who
sat therein.
