Think Of It, a thimble which cost
S65, 900 in American money! And think
Of a husband who presents his wife
with such a gift! 1t belongs to the
queen Of Siam.
Thimbles were not in use in Siam
until a comparatively recent date. The
king, seeing that English and Ameri-
can women visiting his court used
thimbles, had one made for his wife.
The thimble is Of gold, enriched with
precious stones. it is shaped like a
partially opened lotus flower, each
petal bearing the interlaced initials Of
the sovereign and his wife in anne
thysts, rubies, emeralds and topazes.
Around the rim of the thimble can be
read the date of the marriage Of the
royal pair according to the Siamese
ard European calendars. each number
and each letter being of alternate dia-
monds and pearls.

An old hen belonging to Mrs. M. A.
Stormont began laying late in the fall,
and was so persistent that she laid
twenty-six eggs before she concluded
to stop, During all this time she had
neglected her moulting, and when she
finally got ready to shed her feathers
it was in the middle of winter, but the
old ones had lost their life and were
dry and harsh, consequently there was
no other way but to make the change.
In a short time she was almost bare
and suffering from the cold.
The Misses Stormont, seeing her pre-
dicament and approaching the value
of her service rendered, determined to
come to her rescue. They accordingly
took the old hen into the house, took
her measurements, made a suit of fan
nels to fit, and then released her. Her
ladyship took the matter very philos-
OFFICIALLY, and hustled off to her COM
panions, apparently very comfortable
in her new Suit.-Kirkwood Qll.),

Mr.. Clayton of the Blue Hill OBJ
%servatory, has a suggestive paper in
the Popular Science Monthly on the in
fuence of rainfall on commercial and
political affairs, Every severe inan-
cial panic in the United States has
been closely associated with a protract-
ed season of deficient rainfall. The
outbreak Of the boxer war in China
was at least partially due to the i'm
Joverishment of the people by drought.
A severe winter precipitated the
French revolution. The Russians say
ing that January and February are
two invincible generals was exempli-
fed by the disastrous Moscow cam
paign of 1912. In the year "a B. c..
Caesars legions in Gaul were defeat
ed on account of their scattered sta
tons, and the stations were placed
wide apart because a scanty harvest
had made this disposition a necessity,
These are only a few of many eX-
Angles that might be cited.

and their white horns almost at the
horses tail.
Striking the foaming flank of the
horse with his hat he shouted:
"On, on, Lola, or we are lost!"
She turned her head and looked into
his eyes.
"Aet me slip off," she whispered.
"Thb horse could save you; I am too
many"
The Texan comprehended her mean
ing and in that m of peril he re-
allied that the Indian girl loved him,
Fearing that she might execute her
suggestion and sacrifice herself to save
him, he instantly grasped her in his
arms, and it was in that moment Of
peril that their treth was plighted.
The horse cana upon smooth ground,
and in a short time he began to get
farther away from the herd.
Right there" says the Texan, 81
made up my mind to love that little
Indian girl forever and l resolved that
if we escaped the danger that pursued
us I would do everything in my power
during life to make her happy"
The noble horse continued to in
crease the distance between his heels
and the sharp horns of his pursuers
until he again encountered rough
ground.
Ward at this moment for the first
time thought of his pistol, and hurried
ly drawing the weapon he poured a
stream OF lead into the faces Of the
cattle.
Ward turned his head, and with a
| shout of emulation he threw his hat
into the faces of the leaders of the
stampeded herd as the horse plunged
into water that the flames could
not cross. The Texan knew that the
hot steers would stop to cool their
parched tongues, and when the horse
had crossed the river he pressed a kiss
on the Indian girls cheek and whis-
pered to her:
"You have saved my life, and it be-
longs to you"
And he will keep his word.

European architecture is gradually
gaining a foothold in Japan, and must
sooner or later dominate, just as Eu-
ropean styles of dress are soon to dom
mate, in the big cities. In Toxic and
other large centers of population all
the new business-houses are built on
European plans. They are found to
be more practicable. The residences
are still of the Japanese style. Some
of the larger aud finer residences in
the cities are built like American
houses, but most stick to the old GUS
toms. The government does not own
it's buildings, but rents them, and
these, without exception, are Of Euro
pean design. The Europeans and
Americans never stop at the Japanese
hotels, because they cannot do with
out chairs. The hotels have nothing
but couches.

Successful Pneumatic Gun.

A successful dynamite gun has final
ly been constructed, according to re
ports from Hilton Head, S. c., where
the tests were held.
The government specifications called
for an engine which could hurl a pro-
jectile containing 500 pounds of nitro
glycerin or other high explosive a dis
lance of 5000 yards. The Hilton Head
gun threw 500 pounds Of nitroglycerin
5000 yards.
The difficulty operating against the
successful construction of dynamite
guns hitherto has been the inability
accurately to fix in advance the place
of c%oncussion. The shell was apt to go
off in the gun unless extreme care was
taken.
The new pneumatic gun is fifty feet
in length, of fifteen inches bore, and it
weighs fifty tons. The proiectile is ten
feet long. Five shots of the largest
size were fired in twenty minutes.

bending the situation at a glance, he
first thought Of ascending the tree, but
doubling whether he could perform the
feat. he yielded to the girls hand and
quickly sprang upon the horse behind
her.
AS the noble animal turned, the
horns Of the steers crashed against the
tree and several of the big brutes fell
headlong, rolling over the very spot
where the rescued man had been lying.
Their %carcasses were trampled to jelly
by the sharp hoofs of the flying herd.
The sure-footed horse bore the In
dian girl and the Texan away at the

Ward, as o as he was able to com

Maybe we can turn out of the way
pretty soon," she added.
The earth seemed to tremble as II
convulsed by an earthquake and the
air was filled with a roar more appail-

turned his head and he was surprised
to see the red eyes of the mad brutes

It is said that a foreman stereotyper
in a London printing works has had a
curious windfall. Going to a sale Of
musical instruments, he purchased an
old harpischord for 20 s%hillings, be-
cause, having a hobby for fret-wo.k,
he fancied the wood of the front panel.
When he got his purchase home he
dissected it. He then discovered that
the harpischord had a double back,
and presently between the boards he
found very old Bank of England notes,
the total value of which amounted to
$3.50. 900.

Two Unpleasant Naval omcers who Got
what They Deserved.
Captain j. ]. bunker, commanding
the naval station at Newport, is long,
siab-sided and lanky, and his chest
looks caved in. You would have to
Jostle him for fear he would fall apart
in a hundred pieces. He is the
strongest man in the navy, and can
whip his weight in wildcats. In a
wardroom mess with Hunker once was
one Of the worst DULLES who ever dis
graced the American navy. He was 6
feet tall, a Hercules in build, and could
put a longboat on his back and pack
it ashore. For the first week that he
joined the ship he made It a hell for
everybody on her. On the seventh day,
when breakfast was over and he got
up to go out of the wardroom, Hunker
asked him to sit down again. He re-
quested all the other officers of the
mess to go on deck and stay there till
he sent for them. They could see In
his eye what he intended to do, and
1t was a pity; he was thin as a rail
and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES as If with
a cough. But they went out and left
him with the giant. Ten minutes later
Hunker invited them in again. The
bully looked as if he had been through
a meat chopper. He went to bed and
stayed there for three weeks. To ehis
day he is an angel of grace and cour-
tesy.
1t will not do to mention this Of
hcer's name, but in the navy there is
a commander who thought it part Of
his duty to play the sneak act. When
the men were in their hammocks he
used to creep in on them in stocking
feet to see if they were talking or
otherwise infringing orders after taps.
One hight a sailor reached up from
his hammock and smashed in his face
with a hammock hook. The officers
Of the ship, sitting as a court on the
sailor, acquitted him on his defense
that he thought the catlike intruder
was a thief trying to rob him. Off

Amba..aaera Have sInseures.

For several years the ambassadors
from European powers to the Holy See
have enjoyed s%inecures. The Russian
and German ministers are seldom
there. They go to Rome to attend for
NAL ceremonies at which their pres
ence is required by the etiquette of the
Vatican, but return at onee to their
homes as 0 on as these duties are per-
formed. The Spanish, Austrian and
Belgian ambassadors are the only ones
that regard their positions seriously.
and even they have nothing to do but
attend dinners and receptions given by
the princes OF the Black party.

bill that has to be paid before the Chi

yesterday: I'VE had nothing to do
with this outbreak. We cherished no
animosity either against Christianity
or the foreigner, Nor did the emperor.
This %foolhardy bravado was attempted
by a handful of fools in the north of
China, whom the officials did not at
tempt to suppress; therefore, these fell
lows should be made to pay the bill,
and not we" Poor fellowl He forgot
that China is one, at least as far as
paying goes. There is. therefore, a
great deal of grumbling and antagon-
