rate situation because shippers and rail

readily obtain conviction under that

feel kind of sorry for the poor little
young ones that grow up and never
know what a clown is like Oh, yes,
they have them today after a fashion.
They stub their toes and fall down the
same as ever, but there is a whole mob
of them, and you can't take the interest
in them that you could in the one, the
only, the inimitable' clown there used to
be, character of such importance that
he got his name on the bills.
The ringmaster was kind of stuck
up fellow, very important in his own
estimation, but he didn't have a spark
of humor-not spark. And he'd be
swelling around there, all so grand,
and the clown, just to take him down
q peg or two, would ask him a conun-
drum. And do you think he could ever
guess one? Never. Not a one. And
when the clown would tell him what
the answer was he'd be so vexed at
himself that he'd try to take 1t out on
the poor clown and cut him with his
long whip.
Yes, sir; there are heads of families
today, I'll bet you, that have grown up
without ever having heard a clown
sing comic song and ask the audience
to join in the chorus. And If you say to
such people, Here we are again, Mr..
Merryman," or Bring on another
horse" or "What will the little lady
have now? The banners, my lord"
they look at you so funny. They don't
know what you mean, and they don't
know whether to get huffy or not.
Well, 1 suppose it had to be that the
funny old clown, with all his songs and
quips and conundrums and comicaI re-
marks, should disappear. Perhaps he
didn't pay.-Eugene Wood in Nc

IN COLONIAL DAYS.
The First Iron Mines and Flour Mills
In Virginia.

In 1913 the London company, the
proprietors of the colony of Virginia,
sent over Mr. King and $50 skilled
ironworkers to erect furnaces ON Fall
Ing creek These men came chiefly
from Warwickshire and Staffordshlre
and when once in Virginia named the
village that grew up about their iron
works Warwick.
Mr.. King soon dropped out of the
enterprise, and Captain Bluett su-
perintended the erection of the works.
But his career was short one, after
which John Berkeley, son of Sir John
Berkeley, a nObleman of much dis
tlnction, succeeded to the superin-
tendency Of the establishment and
conducted it ably until one day-March
~, 1622-the Indians, under Opitcha-
pan, brother of Powhatan, surprised
the village and murdered Berkeley and
$50 menSnd women.
In 17O0 mills were built upon the
ruins of the iron furnace. In those
mills was ground the first flour export
ed from America, much of it going to
South America. From that time on
Warwick grew rapidly until it became
an important manufacturing and ship
ping village, as it was at the head of
navigation.
Shortly before the outbreak of the
Revolutionary war Colonel Archibald
Cary acquired possession of the vast
estate known as Ampthill, that lay
on the James river and inland along
Failing creek for distance. The es-
tate was named after one in England.
Colonel Cary was chairman of the
committee that drafted the first bill
of rights and state constitution In
America, that of Virginia. When the
war broke out he took an active part
in the military operations of his coun-
try in the south.
Tarleton, the British general, sailed
up the James river and burned War
wick and Colonel Cary's mills on Fall
ing creek.
The old Ampthill house occupied by
Colonel Cary at the time is still stand
ing, and the present owners are de-
scendants of the Gary famiIy.-Scien-

century it saved a vessel of the queens

in what was thought to be an undam-

found that the stone had imbedded IT.

CHINESE CARVINGS.
Artistic Ornaments Cut Out of Nuts
and Tiny Fruit stones.

anu llny fFuit StOhebs
The most curious objects which are
made subjects of the carver's art In
China are the various nuts and fruit
stones. Among the latter class may be
peach, cherry, and Of the former the
most common are made upon the shells
of walnuts and cocoanuts. These seeds
and nuts are collected with great care
and carefully cleaned and dried before
being taken to the carver, who has an
invariable standard of size, proportion,
weight, hardness, etc. When every de-
tail has been carried out to the salts
faction of the artist a nut or seed is
selected by the designer, who roughly
traces upon its surface an outline of
the future picture. This is handed over
to apprentices, who block out the de-
sign by cutting through the ligenous
tissue along the lines drawn. The
crude carving is again passed to the
designer, who sketches Il second and
more intricate series of outlines, when
it again goes forward to the subordl-
mates, VINO cut out the indicated chan
nels. After this the designer gives the
object its finishing touches, and the as
sistants prepare it for market by pol
ishing, oillng and waxing the carvings.
These nut and fruit stone carvings are
shown in the shape Of buttons, watch
charms, sleeve links, earrings and
brooches. Collections of them strung
on silver, copper or gold wire are also
used as bracelets, anklets, necklaces,
rosaries and official ornaments.
The carvings represented upon these
seed and nut ornaments are frequently
of a very high order Of conception and
display much of the carver's clever
ness and dexterity. The writer has
seen single cherry seeds upon which
were plainly and artistically outlined

The Yak.

Yaks, which are the beasts of burden
in Tibet, are very sure footed, and a
good one will carry load of over 200
pounds safely along the steepest hill
side. They can exist on the scantiest
grass, but grain food suits them for a
few days only. Eight miles day Is
good average work. A recent traveller
tried leather boots for his yaks without
success. Tame 'yaks are white, black.
gray and brown and all intermediate
graduations of these colors. The wild
yak is invariably black, and in early
spring his winter coat almost sweeps
the ground. At such seasons wild and
tame are almost indistinguishable and

Tibet who shot his own baggage ami
mails by mistake.
