ORIGIN OF WEATHERCOCKS
Figure Of the Fowl Was Set Upon Churches by Order of
 the Pope.

4 cOntemplatiVein eindivioual, with some power of observation. was asking about weathercocks. says Success Magazine,
 Why weathercocks? he asked; most yanes are in the form of arrows. Sometimes they are hands that point with the index finger in the direction toward which the wind is blowing; running horse is quite popular as vane, fish. trumpets, locomotives, and many other forms are used but l sel- dom if ever see vanes. except in pictures, that can with any propriety be called weathereoeks.
 l referred the matter by note to our mutual friend, Dr. Detail, and received the following reply:
 The ninth century was time of eS- treme ignorance among all countries which now lead in civilization. An aU' thentic account of the controversies. po- litical. social and religious, that then occupied Europe. would make a cur ons and interesting list of reading. |" England, the question of how persoH' who devoted their lives to reHsloH should wear their hair. and at What particular Sunday they should celeOfaV7 Easter. became so bitter that the con version of that part of the sakoa people who still remained pagans iei, into neglect. and even those tha' na1 been won from idolatry showed SisN' of apcstatizing.

Drop Out of Sight.

More than 5.000 persons annually disappear in the United States and are never heard from again. At first blush the assertion seems incredible. but ro- lice statistics furnish confirmation. The actual figures, based on a conservative calculation. are even more alarming than those given. In fact, says the Brooklyn Eagle. the reports of the DO, lice departments of the larger cities show that In the i2 months just passed 1e.00s of the persons who disappeared during the year were never reported as found. but the shrewf police officers. accustomed 10 the eccen;rieities Of a9- man nature. are of the opinion that the return of many thousands of these per sons. through shame or indifference
 was never reported at police hea l. quarters. But even after making al lowanee for this feature of the case, It is reasonably certain that more than 1000 persons were swallowed up in ob-, liYion. The tragedies of real life hid den within these peculiar cases. If they could but be brought to light, would rival many of the novels penned by the worlds greatest writers. No subject that can he imagined has such we'rd fascination as that of the thousands and thousands who have gone down this grand canyon of oblivion. II would he possible to fill many pages with the absorbing stories of these curious cases. but nearly every reader of tae newspapers, whether he live in village. town or city. is probably acquainted with some instance of the kind con cerning either friend or relative. Men and women who have lost all they treasured most in life in this manner go about vacantly, numbly. ever wait ing for the return of the missing one a dream that never comes true.

 Pry cut the shavings and continue cutting down the end of the opening to the full depth each time, until the end of the mortise is reached. as at D.
 Reverse the front of the ehisel, and in the same way cut the opposite end of the mortise until completed, as shown at F. Do not try 10 sink the mortise little al time, but at every cut after a full depth opening has been made drive he chisel to the bot tom of the mortise. If the shavings are not removed from time to time, the incomplete mortise will resemble the enlarged view shown at F. In no case should ehsel be used whose edge will not reach from line to line the full width of the mortise as any pairing or trimming of the sides Of the mortise should be avoided. as that will make the width below the surface un- even and irregular Such trimming will be entirely unnecessary if the operator carefully follows directions already given.
 When the mertise is 10 be cut through and through. as is often the case. the cross lines shown at A.

We can easily see knowing the whimsical way Dame Fashion has of changing her mind. so NC can afford to discuss the hoopslirt and its influences without getting too serious And we should like to know how wearers of bal loonlike skirts can expect to find them selves accommodated in quarters where they were crowded almost to suffocation clad in their sheathlike raiment Will fiat dwellers desert for suburbia and further? How else can they live in con- fort? Here furniture manufacturers have worked day and night for years tc produce furniture that would make liy- ing in flats less like problem than it was al first. and the results have been happy in many cases. Appointments that expand or collapse a their owners will have worked miracles, almost in re strieted apartments.

NEGRO'S AWFUL WORK
Killed All But One of Crew of Thir.
 teen-Mounded Ihirteenth.

New Orleans. July i3.-One Of the robbery as the motive. iD the annals of crime was brought to this city by Capt. Hans Holm of the Norwegian fruiter Bratten. which plies between New Orleans and Honduras ports. It was subsequently confirmed by the of fcers of the fruit steamer Rosina. which came in later in the evening with additional details.
 The little island Of Utilla, lying off ths Honduran coast and whose popu lation is an indiseriminate mixture of whites. Cayamanites and Caribs. was the scene of the tragedy in which 12 lives were sacrificed.
 The captain of the little trading schooner Olympia was about To maKe a trip 10 Ruatan. TruxilIo and Belize She had about l 400 sols and was to buy cattle at Truxillo to sell at Belize.
 The schooner carried a crew of four and quite number of passengers. making the total list of people aboard number 13 Among these were two women and two children. The vessel left the harbor of Utilla al II o'clock Friday night June 30. and after she had been under way less than an hour everybody was aroused by shot from a Winchester rife in the hands of negro, who was shooting down the men one after another This negro was Robert McGill, and. as it after. ward developed, he had slowed him. self away aboard with the intention of robbing the captain and then swim. ming ashore After he had killed all but one of the men he ordered the last survivor 10 go below and scuttle the ship. When the unfortunate reap peared on deck and reported the ne gro shot him dead. He then put the women Miss Elsie Morgan and her sister. Mrs. Walter Rose. with Mrs, Roses 6-months-old infant in a small boat. steering for the mainland He changed his mind about allowing the women 10 live and killed Mrs. Rose and her child. Miss Morgan was wounded and jumped overheard and started to swim back to the island, but his ammunition evidently gave out, and he promised her immunity from harm if she would come back. She started back. and when within an oars length he struck her on the head with an oar. stunning her Belev- ing her dead. he rowed To the main land She was later washed ashore in an exhausted condition. She was rescued two days later by a woman. where she had hidden in the bushes She had suffered much from heat and exposure.
 When Miss Morgan told her story a search was started for McGiu. who was captured at a small town. There was a great demonstration, lut he was protected He was placed on board q Honduran warship and car. ried back to the island At last re port he was still alive although it is believed he will be tortured to death The laws of Honduras prohibit the in fliction of capital punishment, hut the people will take the case into their hands.
