pain through my loins and limbs that

out great pain, had difficulty in getting

FUN ON A STREET CAR.
And This Nonsense Was Heard in
the Sedate and Sensible City
Of Philadelphia.

On a Walnut street car the other day,
says the Philadelphia Record, two women
who evidently knew each other but slight
" struck up this conversation: "Why,
Mrs. Brown! How dye do?" "How dye
do, Mrs: Green? l wasn't sure it was you
Mr.. Brown" AOh, he's all right. Hows
Mr.. Green?" Hes all right, too. H6w's
the children" They're all right. How S
yourn?" They're all right"
There was a slight pause, as though
neither knew what to say net. Suddenly
one had an inspiration. She giggled a
minute and then said: Say, my husband
asked me the other day what your first
name was, and to save my soul / couldn't
tell him. What is it,"
Then it was the other woman's turn to
giggle. why, it's Millicent." she said.
.Millicent? How do you spell it," ooh,
it's an easy name. M-i-l-li-c-e-n-t." "Well
you can't never say you amt got a cent
to your name, can you?"
A scream of laughter followed this wit
ticism, and they began to slap each on the
wrist.

EDUCATION LAX IN RUSSIA.
Schools Are Numerous, But the Per-
centage of %Illiteracy Is Start
lingly Large.

Illiteracy in Russia is far greater than
in any other of the so-called enlightened
nations of Europe. In the cars domin-
ion there are about SIS 5000 elementary
schools, the total cost of their mainten-
ance being so, 100000 rubles, or about
S27 900 600. Of this amount, says the
New York Tribune, the zemstvos, or
provincial assemblies, which contain
representatives Of the p%easantry, con-
tribute % per cent. and they exist and
operate in less than half the provinces
of the empire. The imperial treasury
contributes 20 per cent. and the rest is
made up by appropriations of the rural
and municipal governments and by gifts,
requests and other incidental contribu-
tons. There are $500, 900 pupils in all
the schools, only a quarter of them be-
ing girls.
Of the female population of the empire
only one in 81 appears as a pupil; of the
males, about one in 20. In thousands
Of instances children have to walk from
eight to - miles a day in going to and
from school and the school term COIN
cides with the coolest and severest
weather. Half the army recruits are IL
literate. Twenty years ago only one in
five could read and write. The greatest
chaos prevails in the control and man
agement of these elementary schools
and they come under the direction of
nine different departments. Some are
secular and some religious, but none are
equipped as they should be and as they
might be under more efficient admins
t~ration, though there is not money
enough available from public Or private
sources to carry on the business as it
ought to be carried on.
Friends of popular education-and
they include every Enlightened person
in the empire-ask that the government
contribute half of the entire educational
fund and are laboring in that direction
with little present encouragement, the
country having too much on it's hands
just now to give the matter the atten-
tion it needs and deserves.

KILLED OFF BY CLOTHING.
Indians of Lower Colorado River Val
ley Do Not Long Survive Adop-
ton of Civilized Apparel.
A SPRING PLEASURE.
What Is Wrong with the Picture ?

No savage people have ever been
partial to the tailor. Nearly all tribes
people YEA clothing of some sort, but
1t is usually of a very primitive and
scanty description. 1t is now said that
coats and trousers are responsible for
the approaching determination of the
Cocopa Indians in the lower Colorado
River valley. The chief, Pablo Colora-
do, will be invited to the worlds fair
Edwin c. Cushman, Jr., now on his
way to visit the tribe as a representa-
tive Of the exposition.
In 1900 the tribe numbered 10000; in
1850 1t numbered 5000; in 1885, 1900,
and in 1900, 500. Wearing white mans
clothes without understanding their
proper use caused pneumonia and pull
monary diseases in the tribe, from
which they died by the score.
The tribe now lives south of Yuma,
Ariz., on the Mexican border. There
1t c%ultivates corr and turnips in the
same name as when Columbus dis
covered America. It's style Of warfare
has not changed nor it's customs, inter-
esting among which are it's mortuary
customs.
The Cocopas are a peaceful tribe.
Their warfare is described as symbolic.
Their shields are oyster shells fastened
in their noses and hanging over their
mouths, thus protecting their breath,
which to them is the sign of life. Pro-
lection of the breath is to them the
protection of the warriors life.
Their spears are the reverse of those
used by other people, the sharpened
point being On the end which rests on
the ground. The upper end is decor
ated with a flag. The warclub is their
weapon for knocking an enemy down.
Then they jab with the spear.
The only change in the tribe since
the days Of Columbus is in adopting
white mans clothes. On account of
the climate in which they live that
has proved fatal.
The daily extremes of temperature in
the arid country they inhabit range
from so to 100 degrees. 1t is as great
often as the extremes of summer and

very cold and the days hot.
When the Indians wore little cloth
ing their skins were toughenad to pro-
tect them from the changes in temper
ature. They did not contract colds.
Living along the Colorado river they
were fond of the water and great swim
mers. Wearing only breech clouts,
they did not suffer even if the weather
was cold when they left the water.
When they adopted the coats and
trousers their skins lost their tough
ness. They could not endure the Sc
we're changes and caught cold. Ig-
norant of the use Of clothing. they
wore it in the water and also when
they slept, often lying down in the cold
in wet clothes, which they had worn in
the river.

CIVILIZATIONS ANTIQUITY.
The Art of Glazing Pottery Was Old
Centuries Before the Chris
tan Era.

So far as the question of time is con-
cerned it deserves notice that not mere
ly geology, but almost every form of in
quiry into the past throws further back
the limits usually assigned, says the
London Telegraph.
Egypt, for instance, is continually
furnishing fresh proofs of the antiquity
of civilization. Prof. Flinders Petrie ex-
pounded at Owens college, Manchester,
England, a few days ago the results of
recent explorations at Abydos, in Upper
Egypt, from which it appears that the
ruins at that n spot tell a continuous
story that carries us back to 5000 B. G.
Abydos was the first capital of Egypt
and remained for As centuries the re-
.1igious center, the Canterbury of the
land, and there the Egyptian explora-
ton fund has unearthed the remains Of
ten successive temples, one over the
other"
"A part of a large glazed pottery vase
of Mena, the first king of the first
dynasty, about 470O B. G., showed that
even then they were making glaze on q
considerable scale, and also inlaying
1t with a second color. The ivory carv-
ing was astonishingly fine, a figure Of a
king showing a subtlety and power Of
expression as good as any work Of later
4ges.D
AT about 1000 B. G. an ivory statuette
Of CheopE, the builder Of the great pyra-
mid. was found. the only portrait known
Of him.
Making every possible allowance for
the marvellous rapidity Of art develop
ment, must not many thousands Of years
have rolled over between the pristine
dwsllers in the Nile valley and the men
who carved ivory statuettes and manu-
featured glazed work inlaid with second
lcolOrs.

NOT sUPERLATIvELY POOR

Was Not Bad Enough OFF
to Want.

Bourke Cochran was c%ondemning a Ger.
tain popular novel, relates the New York
Tribune.
This novel," he said, .is as poor and
barren as Elmo county land"
rs Elmo county land very poor. and
barren?" asked one of Mr.. Cockran's in:
terlocutors.
rs it?" said he. well. / should say it
is. Once two strangers rode on horse
back through Elmo county, and the bar
renness of the land amazed them. Moth
ing but weeds and rocks everywhere. As
they passed a farmhouse they saw an old
man sitting in the garden, and they said:
Poor chap! Poor, poverty stricken
old fellowi'
THE old man overheard them, and
called out in q shrill voice:
"tGents, / hain't SO poor an poverty
stricken as ye think. / don't W none o
this land.'"

A neighbor tells us of a CONVEX
sation heard in Marietta few
days ago. A man stepped into the
store of Mr. w and asked him if he
could use his TELEPHONE a minute
The merchant relied he could not,
for he had allowed him the use of
it a few days before and he had
telephoned for some whisky. "Now
you are wanting it for the same
purpose and you cannot use my
phone to get whisky" Now, if

wouldn't give us much trouble at
