stated that his integrity was called in

that Thomas had demanded money,
read an affidavit from a contractor, j.
b. Bridges, to the effect that Thomas
demanded $3.50 from him as contractor
This was supported by other affidavits
and statements of expert accountants.
The only effect of sustaining this veto
was to keep a dishonest man on the
board. He claimed that number of
bills had passed and been approved by
the governor naming senator's as vari.

DESKS OF FAMOUS MEN.
There Are Many of Them Scattered
About the Country.

There Are Many of Them Scattered
About the Country.
The desk of Salmon P. Chase, a plain
piece of furniture made from mahog-
any, is in one of the rooms of the treas
ury department at Washington. There
are many of these old desks scattered
about the country, their chief claim to
interest being that once some well
known man leaned over them.
Alexander Hamilton's travelling desk,
made of mahogany and measuring II
by 16 inches and 10 inches high, is an
interesting object. Upon this desk was
written much Of his literary work, and
the worn green baize with which it is
lined attests to the use to which it was
put. There is a drawer in one side and
several compartments for pens and
ink, while upon the top is inlaid a sill
yer plate with the name General AL
eXander Hamilton" engraved upon it.
Within the top is strip of parchment
which says, "Given by Mrs. General
Schuyler to her daughter Mrs. Gen
eral A. Hamilton" No doubt the CON
venient size was what recommended It
to the general.
Nathaniel HawthOrne's desk is pre-
served at the custom house, Salem,
Mass. A desk at which he wrote some
of his inimitable romances was just a
board standing out from the wall at an
angle. This is still in the tower room
at Wayside, his home at Concord,
Mass. Victor Hugo had in his Guern-
sey house a study built almost entirely
of glass and perched upon the roof.
Like Hawthorne, he, too, stood at his
writing, and his desk was a mere shelf
fastened by hinges to the wall.-Deline-

BABES IN THE WOOD.
A Seventeenth Century Incident In
the State of Maine.


In 1GT9 James Adams of York be-
came affronted with one of his neigh
bors, Henry Simpson, and determined
to avenge himself upon two of Simp-
sons children, whose ages were six
and nine years. In solitary place
four or five miles from the dwelling
houses of The inhabitants he built of
logs beside a ledge of perpendicular
rocks a pen or pound several feet high,
with walls inclined inward from bot
tom to top. After he had built this he
decOyed the children into the woods
under a pretense of searching for birds
nests and caused them to enter within
the pound, where he left them confined
to perish. The place has since been
called the Devils Invention.
The children were soon missed, and
the alarmed inhabitants searched for
them more than forty-eight hours. The
boys, when aware of their wretched
situation, made various attempts to
get out, and at length, by digging away
with their hands the surface of the
earth underneath one of the bottom
logs, effected their escape. They wan
dered in the woods three days, being
at last attracted to the seashore by the
noise of the surf. where they were
found.
The depraved criminal was con-
demned to have thirty stripes we'll laid
on, to pay the father of the children
f5, the treasurer E1O, besides fees and
charges of the prison, and remain a
close prisoner during the courts pleas
ure or till further order. The same
month he recognized before two of the
judges, conditioned to send him, with

MAKING PIPE ORGANS.
Interesting Work That Is Done In
the VOicing Room.

Both the metal and wooden pipes of
pipe organ are made on the selfsame
principle of the willow whistles that
every man made when he was a boy.
and so, after all, a pipe organ, the
mightiest musical instrument vet in
vented, is but the evolution of that
primitive pipe of Pan, the willow whis-
tie.
The most interesting place in an Or
gan factory is the voicing room. Up to
the time the pipes enter this room they
are as dumb as broomsticks. Here the
breath Of life is breathed into them.
and they are made to speak, each in
the voice intended by it's maker. Here
the big fat pipes are taught to thunder
out their diapasOn and those scarce the
diameter of a slate pencil and one-half
an inch long to utter their shrill whis-
tie and others the thousands of varying
tones between. And not only must the
pipes of one stop speak correctly as in
dividuals and members of their own
particular family, but they must be in
accord with all the hundreds of others
in whose midst they are to live. To
see that they do this is the work of
man whose ear is keen to the slightest
variation and who must know why a
pipe does not speak as it should and
how to make it. One by one the pipes
are set upon the wind chest standing
here, with the bellows and all the in
ternal mechanism of an organ properly
adjusted and with a keyboard in front
of him the vOicer tests each one. By
changing the size and shape of the
aperture through which the wind pass
es he governs the tone until it is exact
ly what it should be, task which only
a man with the incest sense of sound
can accomplish.

LOST ARTS ABANDONED FOR
THE INTRODUCTION OF NEW
LATER DEVELOPMENTS HAVE SET A NEW
PACE IN THIS DIRECTION.
Many of the Lost Arts Abandoned Because
New knowledge Makes Them Useless.
Some of the Arts Once Prominent.

Not as much as we used to, but oc-
casionally even yet, one hears of some
wonder accomplished by the ancients
which cannot be done now.
Not so many years ago it was quite
commonly asserted that modern work
men could not quarry or, having quar-
red. could not handle stones as large
as the monoliths of Egypt, and the
writer has heard a public speaker of
note assert that it would be impossible
to handle with modern implements
such large stones as were used in the
pyramids or to join them as perfectly
as they are joined there. Yet. when oc-
casiOn arose, larger stones than any Of
the larger monOliths themselves were
transported not only to the sea, but
across it, and erected in England,
France and America, and there are in
dividuals today who might, if they
chose, cause the transportation to and
erection in this country of the largest
pyramids or build new ones ten times
larger and more durable Pyramids
are not being generally built nowadays
because they are not in line with the
trend of modern ambition; that's all.
1t is very doubtful If a Damascus
blade" would stand half as severe

Origin of q Phrase.

Many years ago the wild deer that
roamed through the forests of England
used to dig holes in the earth with
their forefeet. They paved it out
sometimes to the depth of several
inches, sometimes a foot or more
These holes were called ''scrapes," and
travellers at dusk or night or those who
were careless about their footing often
tumbled into them. They were laughed
at for their heedlessness when they
came home covered with mud, and, as
this frequently occurred after they had
been imbibing a bit, they were said to
have '"gOt into a scrape." Some Cam
bridge students took up this express
sion, and thus it came to be applied to
people who had got into difficulties
various sorts.

GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND.
How Their Claims Were Established
In the Middle Ages.

A curious meeting was held in Lyons
on Jan. 4, 1699 The royal commits
sioners solemnly sat in council to de-
eide the question if lawyers and doc
tors could be regarded as gentlemen.
1t proved too hard Il problem for the
wise heads, and the doctors and law
yers themselves were summoned to
prove their right to gentility. The mat
ter was settled to the satisfaction of
the professional parties.
In the middle ages of England her.
aids went through the counties to ex-
anime into the claims of landholders
to be called gentlemen. There is in ex-
istence an interesting list of the dis
qualified, and one reads today the
shame of a certain Thomas Robbirs

Anscote, representative of one of the

titled to be styled a gentleman, al

Brooke, an old writer, has given the
world his opinion of what constitutes
a gentleman, and his definition has
never been eXcelled:
"The character, or, rather, quality, of
a gentleman does not in any degree de
pend on fashion or mode or state or
opinion; neither does it change with
customs, climates or ages. But, as the
spirit of God alone can inspire it, so IT
is that OualitV of heart which iS tho

HOusen In CeYInn

The natives of the interior of Ceylon

In Sumatra the native women braid a

old Buddhist temples in India and Cey-

the Celebes and Philippines. Shark
