Speaking of the curious routes let
tiers sometimes take in reaching their
destination" said an old newspaper
man, in the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat, reminds me of an extraordinary
experience | had in 1901, when | re-
ceived two letters which had been
mailed to me in 1888, thirteen years
before. I had been with a friend in
Washington up TO early in 1888, when
| concluded that | would go to my old
home in Boston. / remained in Bos-
ton few days, going from there to
New York My movements were so
sudden that he did not at any time
know exactly where to find me. The
two letters to which | have referred
were sent to my Washington address,
and fortunatelys fell into the hands
of my friend. Not knowing exactly
where | was after hearing that | had
left Boston, he did not know where to
send the letters, so he just kept them,
thinking that he would finally learn
my address and would send them on
to me. While loafing around in New
York l was suddenly seized with a
desire to go TO Europe and, without
saying anything to anyone about my
intentions, boarded a ship and start
ed for foreign lands.
For nearly four years | was
abroad and during that time, while
communicating with relatives and
friends on this side | never wrote to
my. friend whom had left in Wash
lngton, for did not know his ad.

No Human Life There

The coast of Labrador is the edge
of vast solitude of rocky hills, split
and blasted by the frosts and beaten
by the waves OF the Atlantic for I'M
known ages. A grand headland, yell
low, brown and black in it's nakedness,
is ever in sight, one to the north
of you and one to the south. Here
and there upon them are strips and
patches of pale green MOSES, lean
grasses and dwarf shrubbery. There
are no forests except in Hamilton
inlet. Occasionally miles of precipices
front the sea in which fancy may
roughly shape all the structures Of
human art.
More frequent than headlands and
perpendicular sea fronts are the sea
slopes, often bald and tame, and then
the perfection of all that Is pictur-
esdue and rough. In the Interior the
blue hills and stony wales that wind
up from among them from the sea
have a summorlike and pleasant air.
One finds himself peopling these re-
gions and dotting their hills, valleys
and wild shores with human habita-
tions, but a second thought. and a
mournful one it is, tells that no men
toll in the fields away there, no WON.

fori, in the employ of the Duke of Tus-
cany, who in I'LL made the FIRST sue

lection of Belgian, French. and Italian

There are only two grand pianofortes
OF Cristofori in existence, says writ
er in the Housekeeper. One decorat-
ed in gold and Chinese figures Is In
Florence, and the other is in the Cros-
by-Brown collection in the New York
Art Metropolitan Museum. Three
documents attest the authenticity OF
this last instrument, which was pur-
chased from Signor Diego Martelli.
From this feeble beginning comes
long list of names of men who helped
perfect the piano. But factories alone
could never have achieved without
royalty to encourage and virtuosi to
play Frederick the Great ordered
five pianos for his palace, where they
can be seen at the present day.
Marie Antoinettc was patron Of the
art, and Clement in England and Mo-
Fart in Germany introduced the instru-

was in Pleyel's concert room that
Chopin played. and our later firms
have brought out long list of artists,
Joseffy, Paderewski, and others.

An odoriferous Beetle.

rather unusual visitation was suf-
fered by South Carolina town last
summer, through the presence of what
is known as the rhinoceros beetle,
which bears the same unapproachable
position in the insect world that the
skunk does among animals. A colony
of these beetles established them
selves in some ash trees which were
grown for shade, and the odor was so
strong and offensive that the town
council ordered eighty of these trees
to be cut down. AS the trees were
estimated to be worth 500 each, the
unusual visitation cost the town about
81, 200. kNsikF #i9F4f st8

oPossuM A CRAFTY BEAST.
Writer Declares He is Very Much
More knave Than Fool.

To the uninitiated the opossum is a
slow-going, stupid beast, with hardly
enough ambition to eat his food. But
those who have studied his habits de-
clare that there is more of the rogue
than the fool in his makeup. and that
his apparent stupidity is but part of
his business policy. He seldom goes
hungry, and he always has hole to
crawl into when he is sleepy. And,
in spite of the slowness, he manages,
some way, to catch many animals
much swifter than he is. It is said
that even the brisk squirrel falls q
prey to him in the open woods, where
one would think the spry little crea-
ture had all the advantage The
opossum catches rats and mice, and
eats ground birds and their eggs. He
is not entirely restricted to a meat
diet, however, but is fond of nearly
all the berries and other wild fruits
that grow in the woods and fields
and has been known to creep into or
chards and berry patches to devoul
cultivated fruits.-Detroit ,News-Trib

Some of the Japanese tradesmen in
the smaller towns OF Nippon have
curious way of advertising their bust
ness. On their right forearms they
tattoo figures-the shoemaker a shoe,
the wood cutter an AK, the butcher
cleaver. Underneath these emblems
are such inscriptions as, 81 do my
work modestly and cheaply" or 81
am as good at my trade as most of my
fellows"
When they are hunting work they
bare their arms and walk about the
streets.

was a daughter, Mary, who grew up to
be as pretty lass as could be found
in all Lee county. A farmers daugh-

Shippert. Both husband and
wife had not one but several

Safety Celluloid.

Mabille and Lerclerc. have patented
process for making kind of cellu-
loid which is incombustible, says the
Electrical Review. To a solution of
cellulold is added a mixture Of ether
and alcohol containing certain iron
salts. A clear liquid of the consist
ency of syrup results. and If the sol
vents are driven off from this, an in.
combustible Lon-lnnammable celluloid
remains. The material can be worked
as easily as ordinary celluloid, and II
is thought that 1t will be valuable

A romantic story, one which a
number of stirring incidents are relat-

forty-seven acres Of land that within
the last week have been turned over
to a great church organization for an
orphanage. b.
The property is located on the main
line of the Northwestern road, about
two hours out from Chicago, and ad-
joins the little village of Nachusa. The
land was handed down from genera
ton to generation by family OF the
name of Dysart. BY a member OF this
family it was originally taken up from
the government, and remained in the
family until 1t fell into the possession
of Col. Alexander Dysart, who for
years was one of the best known citi-
zens of this section. He was man
of some eccentricities, but beloved by
the whole community. He raised a
family OF sons, three of whom became
engineers on the Northwestern road
and are now running trains. The colo
mel, during his lifetime, improved the
old home, which In early years was
but q cabin, until 1t assumed the pro-
portions of fine country home. He
