Queerly Procured Evidence.

Many years ago a ship was chased
at sea ON the suspicion that she was
a SLAYER. During the pursuit her cap
tain dropped something overheard.
When overhauled the old tub was TAX
en- to Port Royal for trial. There was
nothing on board to sustain the charge
Of slave dealing, and there seemed ev-
cry likelihood of its owner recovering
damages for illegal seizure and deten-
ton. But another ship had passed in
the night In the wake Of the others.
She had witnessed the chase and flight,
but had stopped to catch a shark by
the way. In the stomach Of the shark
the sailors found a tin box. In the box
were the papers Of the fugitive vessel.
These proved her to be a SLAYER Of the
most unequivocal character, and upon
their evidence she was condemned and
conflscated.

Older Than the Chinese

- A1A@HA w
Older even than China, the oldest ex-
listing nation, are the cliff dwellings Of
southwestern United States, homes Of
a race whose very name has persisted
from the earth. Explorers, puzzling
through the Mancos and Casa Verde
canyons Of Arizona and New Mexico,
found the houses of this strange peO-
pie in the widest and most ~inaccessi-
BILE of the mountain sides. Did the cliff
jewellers antedate the pyramids of
Egypt? Were they Of blood relation to
the early inhabitants of the land where
the Nile is god? Some students are
prepared to answer both questions
afhrmatively and to give what is to
them abundant proof. The pottery from
their long wrecked homes suggests
Egypt, and the few inscriptions found
have similar suggestions. Mummies,
bodies wrapped in cloth, feathers from
the breast of the turkey, have been dug
from burial places among the cliffs, and
In bone and hair much unlike the In
dian of today there is a hint of resem-
blance to a more oriental type. If the
cliff jewellers left any descendants,
however remote, they are doubtless the
Mok and Zuni Indians, who, resem-
bling them in habits and appearance,
are their closest kinsmen. - Chicago

Some English Caves.

The caves in the Mendip hills in Eng
land are of vast extent, perforating
two masses of limestone lying on Ell
Their side of a core of old red sandstone
forming the center of the Mendips.
Some are ''swallet holes,'' absorbing
rivers, others stalactite caverns. One,
called Wookey hole, marks the emer-
gence in the form of the river Axe Of
two streams "swallowed" some miles
away. One of these swallets is 500 feet
deep. Another cave, called Swildon's
hole, is draped with wreaths and fes-
,toons Of pure white %stalactite. Lambs
Lair, on the northern side of the hills,
is the most magnificent stalactite cav
ern in Great Britain, while adjoining
,Wookey hole another chamber has just
been found with 1900 stalactite pend
ants, all Of dazzling Wilderness. The
famous spring which gives its name to
the town Of Wells is believed to come
through hidden caverns from the high
er parts of the Mendips.

Importance of VIII Power.

importance Oh VIII rover M
Force Of character comes from a
strong will. Characters that are. not
dominated by a powerful will must
prove weak and %unavailing in mo-
ments Of emergency and temptation.
If such a one attempts to achieve any
thing in life, he or she will fail at the
first disappointment and discourage
ment. Force Of character carries one
through physical sufferings and grief
in a way that makes another ashamed
Of himself or wonder at the secret Of
the heroism. In u whole health cur
riculum there Is nothing SO important
as the cultivation of a strong will,
which gives perfect faith in ones abili-
ties and powers, and in u moral and
spiritual world there is 40 factor great
er for good results than that force Of
character which Is often the direct
outcome Of a good physical condition.
In a clean, healthy body there are apt
to be a clean soul and mind, especially
IL a will that has been properly train
ed and educated dominates the whole
life. People should be as ashamed OF
being sick lest death should overtake
them as they are Of being caught in
crime or wickedness of any kind. Let
the two go together, and we will have
less sickness in the world OF at least
less Of the imaginative sickness

Whipped by Proxy.
Royal children were at one time
whipped by proxy. Edward vi. had a
proxy of the name Of Barnaby Fitz-
patrick, and if his back smarted from
the blows which should have fallen
upon the young prince he had his re-
ward in the favor shown to him when
Edward became king. He is introduce
ed in an old play under the name OF
Brown, who received a knighthood on
his complaining to the prince Of his
v%icarious suffering.
William Murray, father of the Ouch
ess of Lauderdale, was whipping boy
for Charles 1. Henry Nv, Of France
had two boys to bear his chastise-
ments. James vi. Of Scotland's whip
ping boy was Sir Mungo Malagrowth-
er, an account Of whom and of the GUS
tom is given in Sir Walter Scott's
Fortunes Of Nigel" In 1876 a whip
ping boy was provided for the en-

Point Judith, Rhode Island, Is known
to the natives of that neighborhood as
"Pint Judy Pint" Once upon a time,
the story goes, an old sea captain Of
Nantucket or thereabouts took his wife
with him upon a voyage along the
coast, and, being %enveloped in a fog, he
made her lookout. After awhile the
woman piped out, "Land" "Whar
awayY' beloved her lord. "Why, right
over there, just the other side of all
those ropes" she answered excitedly.
'eT'other side o. fddlesticksv' roared
the captain. "Can't you tell me in
straight talk whar awayy" Now it hap
pened that the captains wife was UNI
acquainted with nautical terms, and
while she could do many useful things
she could no more have boxed the COM
pass than she could have flown. So the
captain shouted to her, "Pint, Judy,
pinty" Then Judy ''pinted," and the

Its Mass Is Many Thousand Times
GreateT Than the SUM-.
In the constellation Scorpio, seen,
when visible at all, low down in our
southern sky, Is a star of about the
first magnitude, called Antares. This
object is, according to measurement
Of its parallax by Sir David Gill,
enormously distant and must there
fore be a colossal body. One of our
astronomers. ]. e. Gore, computed
from ~photometric considerations that
its mass is probably $1,000 times that
of the sun. AS a rule, the tendency
OF astronomers is to doubt whether
such differences as these figures i'm
ply exist among the clestial orbs, but
undoubtedly the mass of Antares
must be exceptional. Mr.. Larkin Of
the Lowe observatory, California,
points out that round this great star
Is a wide region ''about as void of
stars as any known to the telescope"
Many starless fields are encountered
In the heavens. 'These blackened and
waste areas show no stars, or, If any,
they are on the extreme limit Of vision,
In this splendid and pure mountain
air. In these dark expenses no trace
Of the delicate, pearl white. simmer
ing background Of the sidereal struc-
ture can be seen. The inference is
that all the matter once in this area
has been drawn in to build up the
colossal sun Antares." The space has
been swept clean. In the constella-
lions Sagittarius and Scorpio there ex-
list many black fields without either

Animal

A certain Mr.. Tiniotief was the hap
py possessor of a dog that was able to
calculate with precision. One day,
having been fed a large platter Of
chicken bones, he found twenty-six
left over when his appetite was salts
fed. These he proceeded to bury care
fully in different places, as all dogs do.
The day following he dug up and ate
twenty-five, went to sleep, suddenly
woke up, apparently with something
OF his mind, hesitated a moment, dug
up his twenty-sixth bone, ate it and
went to sleep, this time soundly.
Birds count well. They usually know
the number Of eggs they are Matching.
Here Is something odd: A half tanned
nightingale was always given three
beetles as a sort of dessert. If he re-
ceived but two he waited impatiently
for the third. If three were given to
him he ate them up and flew away
without waiting for more.-Revue

Eugenie and the Cholera.

When Napoleon III. was at the Re.
NTH of his power there was a terrible
outbreak Of cholera in France. Every
day the Empress Eugene visited the
hospitals to do what she could by u
p~erintendence and example to forward
the noble work of allaying the suffer
ings of the stricken. One morning a
parish priest rushed into the ward
where the empress was ministering to
a dying man.
"Oh, your majesty" said the priest,
two hours ago my curate was break
fasting with me, and now he is dead"
The empress smiled calmly. "That is
well,' said She.
"Well?" echoed the priest.
Eyes, it is well. When once cholera
becomes as violent as this is it ceases
The empress was right. From that
day the plague abated.
