A Mexican Wonder.

The physicians of the Juarez hos.
pital had something very unusual to
talk about all day recently. Ramon
Espinosa, who was murdered some
three or four days ago, was taken to
the hospital for an autopsy.
When the physicians. were saving
the skull the saw touched a strange
object, and as the physician attempted
to continue his work the saw was
broken in two pieces. Another saw
was brought and the skull opened.
when 1t was found that the strange
object was a big steel piece, half the
blade of a knife that evidently had
been there for years. Even the scar
produced by the wound had already
disappeared from the mans forehead.
How this man could live with the
steel piece in his skull is something
that physicians have been unable to
eTplain.-Mexican Herald.

stick to the absolutely perpendicular

stick to the absolutely perpendicular
circle for several minutes at time.
But the straight wall" is only the
beginning of the Eek globe. The rid
er's body becomes horizontal with the
floor as a mere matter of preliminary
warming up exercise in this newest
of sensations.
Then, seemingly in defiance Of all
the laws of gravitation, the man on
the wheel begins to steer up beyond
the center band, the point of the per-
pendicular. Little by little he gaes
higher and higher, the radius of the
circles becomes less and less. and
finally, his head almost directly be-
meath his feet, riding in a circle bare
ly two wheels in circumference, he
suddenly shoots down into the bot
tom of the sphere, passes up the 9th
er side and over the very top, making
complete loop"
His speed is tremendous, sufficient
to carry him through this maneuver
half a dozen times. Gradually he
makes the loops further and further
away from the two poles at the top
and bottom, and finally brings him
self to the perpendicular position
again riding around the center band.
The accomplishment of the act lies
wholly in the speed attained by the
rider. The centrifugal force neces-
sary to hold the wheel against the cen
yer band is reached only with speed
of thirty miles an hour. With every
foot above this point the increase in
speed necessary to throw the rider
against the concave surface of the
globe is considerable. When riding
around the smallest circle, nearest
the top, it is believed that human
power is driving the bicycle at the
astonishing rate of mile minute.

cannlbals Are EnIcurea.

A story regarding a converted can.
nibal is told in the English papers. A
negro clergyman was entertained at
tea by the president of a college. The
guest, wko came from West Africa,
retailed some particulars of his carly
life, when a woman asked him how he
became a Christian. THE story OF
Jezebel converted me-" he answered;
you know. we are told the dogs did
not touch the palms Of her hands.
Well, that convinced me of the truth
of the narrative, for we never eat
the palms Of the hands in my coun.
try, They are too bitter"

TahIeouah an interesting Town.

Tahlequah, which used to be noted
on the maps of all old biographies
as the capital of the Indian territory
is a town now of about $500 people.
and the majority of it's population are
Cherokee Indians. The Cherokees are
of all shades of compilations. Some
coal black negroes boast of being
Cherokee Indians, but the prevailing
color is a dusky brown, little darker
than that of Japanese, or a yellow
somewhat lighter than mulatto. AS
a whole the Cherokees, from all APP
pearances. have far more white than
Indian blood.

Many Millions of stars.

1t has been stated that, with long
exposures 1S4,OOO,0OO stars can be
photographed. Chacornac has comput-
ed that with a telescope of great pow
er the aggregate number visible in the
whole sky is 100000. Proctor said
that in Lord Rosse's great telescope at
least 1000, 100000 stars would be Wis
ible if they could be counted The lat
ter estimate is probably excessive and
we may conclude that approximately
there are 1OO,O0O,OOO stars in the sky.

BIRDS NEST ON CHAIR SEAT.
FIedgIings Reared in Strange Way on
a Baltimore Piazza. la


Baltimore Piazza. ls
A robins nest in a rocking chair
on porch used every day by the fam
lily has been a curiosity at the home
of NJ Gillet Gill, at Roland Park, near
the Baltimore Country Club. The nest
has been the home of a family of the
birds, and in it eggs were Matched and
three little brides first saw the light
The nest was first noticed some
weeks ago by Mr.. Gill. 1t was built
between the seat and pack of a rustic
rocking chair, the center one of sew
eral on the porch. Members Of Mr..
GilPs family and their guests use the
porch almost continually, and the
robin was interrupted many times, It
is thought, when it was looking for a
building site.
Mr.. Gill determined to let the home
OF the robin remain for a while at
least. He was warned that cats might
disturb the serenity of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robins nest, and the rocking chair
was lifted on cords until it was out of
the way of feline providers. The
watching of the Gill family was finally
rewarded by the appearance Of three
tiny birds.
The suspended rocking chair has
become an object of wonder for resi-
dents, who were delighted when they
learned that suburban life at Roland
Park was SO quiet that robins built
on the same sites as human folk.

Nearly every city and town has in
It one or more men engaged in busi-
ness, who seek to profit by the en-
terprise Of others, without bearing
any of the burdens they can by
"hook or crook" avoid, which the really
enterprising business man has to as
sumo. "Patronize your home mer-
chant" is the slogan Of many a news
paper that means well and is endeav-
oring to boost for its town. Such a
slogan is a mighty good one in many
towns and mighty poor one in 9th
ers By all means patronize your
home merchant - providing he Is
worthy of your patronage. If he is a
hustler who gets around early in the
morning, keeps his store and stock
clean and up to the times, charges
reasonable price for his goods, runs
an ad. in the newspapers and pays
his share to everything that goes to
help the town, patronize him and boost
the town and enhance the value Of
your property. But If he is a drone
in the hive Of industry and keeps a
dingy, dirty store, pays his help star
vation wages and works them as many

advertise and positively declines to con-
tribute what he should to public en-

to get all they can and keep all they
get. They are curse to any town and
many towns that have good natural
advantages are killed off by such skin
fiints. Many of them are continually
bowling for patronage because they are
''home merchants" but never think of
patronizing their brother business men
when they can save a few cents by
sending away for anything. They are
in the, same class as the fellow who
depends upon the local community and
its prosperity for a living and then
tries to kill the goose that lays the
golden eggs by sending away to cat

CITY OF CROCODILES.

Curious Village IL Said to Have Been

The crocodile, one Of the most sacred
animals Of the East, has given its
name to several ancient rites. OF the
various "Cities Of Crocodiles," the
names Of which have been handed
down to us by Herodotus, Pltny and
Strabo, perhaps the most striking was
the Crocodilopolis of the ancient
Egyptian Province of Fayum, which,
according to tradition, was built by
that Pharaoh who, made the lives of
the children of Israel bitter with hard
service"
This province lies within an almost
complete circle of hills-a little oasis
in the midst Of the desert, where roses
and grapes mingle with figs and olives
and palm trees grow almost into for
ests.

Had Earned Their Help.

Many years ago, when the revivalist,
e. P. Hammond, converted nearly the
whole population Of Lawrence, there
was an old shoemaker in the town who
was noted for his profligate habits. He
came to grace in the course of the
revival and regularly took a promi-
nent place on the mourner's bench. One
night Mr.. Hammond invited him to
lead in prayer. He responded with
aIacrity and said:
"Oh, Lord, Thou knowest what a
wicked man 1 have been. Thou know
est that 1 have neglected my family
and my business to travel the paths
of sin Thou knowest that could
not be counted on to do the work of
my customers. But now, o Lord, by
the power Of Thy sanctiacation, I am
turned from the paths Of wickedness
and walk uprightly before all And
Thou knowest, Lord, that under Thy
mercy 1 will be at my bench from
morning till night. ready to mend shoes
as cheap as any man in town."-Kan-
