Alexandria, Ind, May 3O.-Fifteen
young men of this city are on the
anxious seat awaiting the decision of
the school board, as to whether they
will prosecute them in punishment for
most unwarranted prank, akin to
vandalism, last night when the party
of youths took from a nearby pasture
cow belonging to A. G. Carver, and
breaking the doors of the high school
building drove the animal into the as
sembly court, where they LEI. her until
she was discovered by the janitor.
The condition of the polished floors
was indescribable and the ire of the
school board was at once aroused at
this outrage on decency, and within
short time the officers rounded up
thirteen of the fifteen participants who
are beginning to realize the enormity
of their offense. The other two are
known and it is probable that all will
be prosecuted. The janitor is about
the maddest man in the city today.

Some Facts which Give an idea Of
It's Imnensity.
In all the heavens, VITA the excep-
ton OF passing meteors or meteorites,
not one body occupies a position closer
to earth than the moon, which Is some
100000 miles away - very far, OF
course, side by side with any earthly
distances, but mere fraction side by
side with other astronomical distances.
Next to the moon our nearest occasion
al neighbor is Venus, End then Mars.
Both Venus and Mars, however, are
often farther away from us than the
sun, which remains always at some
where about the same distance, rough
ly at from 10000, 900 to 90 900. 900 miles.
This dividing space between sun and
earth is Of great importance in think
ing about the stars, and 1t should be
clearly impressed upon the mind.
Next to the sun in point Of nearness
come the more distant planets-Jupiter,
which is about Ave times as far from
the sun as our earth is; Saturn, nearly
twice as far as Jupiter; Uranus, near
~ twice as far as Saturn, and Neptune,
nearly three times as far as Saturn. All
these planets belong to our sun, all
are members of his family. all are part
of the solar system. The size of the
solar system as whole, consisting
thus of the sun and his planets, includ-
ing our earth, may be fairly well grasp

master two simple facts. They are

A young girl who is always trying
some new thing was present once
when the doctor set a neighbours bro
ken arm. She was sure that she knew
exactly how it was done and rather
anxious to put her new knowledge into
practice. Some time later a hen out
in the chicken yard broke it's leg. The
girl directly announced that she meant
to set it land make it as good as
new" Accordingly it was put into a
plaster cast and left for the proper
length of time to knit. When the day
came to take off the cast the girl ran
out to the henhouse in great eagerness
to see the result. Presently there was
a scream that brought every member
Of the family to her side. The chicken
was jumping miserably over the ground
sidewise instead of directly forward.
You know a hens leg has a crook.
Well, she had crooked it the wrong
way, that was all.

A Great Stamp ForGery.

record entaiied the successful swim.
ding Of collectors throughout Europe
in 1880. One day the French papers
announced that King Marie I...of Sc
dang, an island in the vicinity Of Chi
IA, was coming to Paris. AS it hap
pened, this self created monarch was
an ex-ofhcer of the French navy, and
his appearance in Paris created con
siderable sensation. AS soon as his
majesty had been duly advertised
sets of seven different postage stamps
marked "Sedang" and bearing three
half moons appeared, and SO great was
the demand for them that in less than
month they realized 1000 francs
each. Not until the king and his min
listers had reaped fat fortunes in this
manner was 1t discovered that the
whole thing was hoax and the stamps
consequently worthless.

Ancient Roses.

Flinders Petrie, the archaeologist,
while excavating among some ancient
Egyptian tombs, found wreath OF
roses which had been bound into a
garland and buried with the dead thou
sands of years ago. N. Crepin, the bot
anist and microscopic. made a care
full examination of this queer find and
prepared a paper ON it which he read
before the Royal society Of Belgium.
From this paper it appears that In
places where the flowers were matted
together they still retained their color
as well as a very faint odor. The
species to which they belong Is now ex-
tinct, but a rose resembling them IN
several particulars is still grown In
Egypt and Ahyssinia.
