Houses In Siam.

In Caspar Whitney's book Jungle
Trails and Jungle Peoples" he says:
'"The Siamese builds his house of one
story and on stills for several reasons.
The first, no doubt, is to avoid the I'M
pardonable sin Of living in a lower
story while an upper one is occupied
by other human beings, especially wo-
men, who in Siam are not regarded as
of much Importance. The second, and
| should say the most practical, if not
the most aesthetic, reason is to have
a waste gate easy of access for the con-
tinually flowing saliva from betel nut
chewing and household refuse, which
may thus be easily disposed Of through
the crevices Of the openly constructed
floor"

WOMAN KNEW WHAT SHE MEANT

During the recent strikes in New

between apprehension as to what the
strikers might do and apprehension
as to what the green hands pressed
into service by the railway manage

were taking their lives in their hands
whenever they boarded a train.
In the nervous throng descending
one morning from Ninth Avenue ele-

IF YOU

Find fault with others, it will make

Worry about your work, it will make
you less capable.
Anticipate evils, you will be sure to
bring them upon you.
Imagine you are disliked, it will
make you less likable.
Talk about your i'll health, it will
make you less healthy.
Sit bemoaning the past, you will new
er get on in the future.
Talk much of what you are going to
do, you will never do it.
Complain Of lack of opportunities
you'll miss what you have.
Wall bitterly that it is an unjust
world and life not worth living, you'll
find it come true for sure, in your own
case at least.-Philadelph Bulletin.

THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.
Why It's Houses Were Built Upon the
River Bank.

Why Its Houses Were Built Upon the
River Bank.
Wellington once declared that the
most exciting moment of his life was
not in any Of his great battles, but that
in which he had to forbid William ~.
to attend a public banquet in the city
during time of great national excite
ment. OF the millions of people who
every year see the English houses Of
parliament, how many imagine that
their position was determined by stra-
tegic considerations? No one nowadays
can think of the palace Of Westmin-
ster in any other position than that
which it occupies. But when the old
houses were burned down and the task
of rebuilding faced there was a propo-
sition to establish them on or near the
site of st. James palace. Wellington
resolutely put down his foot on the
proposal.
The site suggested, it's advocates
pointed out, would be better as regards
centrally and conveniene e than any
other. But to the argument Of the
duke there could then be no answer.
with vast and growing population,
such as yours in London he said,
you must never make it possible that
you can be surrounded You must
build your houses of parliament upon
the river, so that the means Of ingress
and egress are safe and that the pOpu-
lace cannot exact their demands by
sitting down around YOU" Sir William
Fraser. in whose memoirs the story is
recalled, mentioned it to Napoleon III.

A MEMORABLE TRAGEDY.
It Grew Out of the Last Great Slave
Auction In This Country.

Auction In This Country.
The last great slave auction held in
this country occurred just year and
a half before the warm October, 1859
at the race track in Savannah. The
slaves We're the property Of Pierce
Butler, a picturesque and prominent
figure at that day in Philadelphia so
ciety, who is today only remembered
as having been the husband Of Fanny
Kemble, the actress, reader and au-
thor. His family name was Mease, but
he inherited fortune in lands and
slaves from his grandfather, Major
Pierce Butler Of South Carolina, on
condition that he should take the lat
ter'S name.
Buffers inveterate passion for gam
bling got him into financial difficulties.
1t is said that he lost $4,000 on a SIN
gle hand-four deuces against four
kings held by his opponent.
Finally, to meet his losses, Butler
was forced to sell his slaves. There
were 9S8 of them in all. The sale took
two days and netted $3O3,S5O. Butler
had chosen a good time to SELL A year
later his negroes would not have been
worth a dollar a head But the sale
would have been more profitable had
it not been announced as one Of the
conditions that no division of families
would be permitted; hence in order to
secure 4 good slave buyers often had
to take with them infirm or aged rela-
tives. Out Of this limitation grew
memorable tragedy. Tom Pate, a well
known Vicksburg trader, bought at the
sale a man, his two sisters and his
wife, with the guarantee that they
should not be separated Disregarding
this, Pate sold the sisters, one to Pat
Somers, brother trader, and the 9TH
er to a resident Of St. Louis. What
legal rights a negro had in the south
were well protected. Somers was told
Of the guarantee. and he sent the girl
back to Pate and demanded his money.
A quarrel was the result, and Somers
was shot dead. Ten days later his
nephew killed Pate and died from
wounds received. The feud was kept
up until every male bearing the name
of Pate was wiped out, and then the
war liberated the sisters.-New York

Little Red Riding-hOod.

Little Red Riding-hood is the heroine
OF a we'll known nursery tale, which
relates her encounter with a wolf in
the forest, the arts by which he de-
ceived her and her tragical end. Grimm
derived the story from tradition cur
rent in the region bordering upon the
river Main, in Germany The legend is,
however, widely disseminated. In the
Swedish variation Of the story Little
Red Riding-hood takes refuge in tree,
the wolf meanwhile gnawing at the
roots, when her lover, alarmed by her
cries, comes up just in time to see
the tree fall and his ladylove crushed

The French Student.

Some of the French students are mis-
erably poor No one knows how much
poverty is hidden under those long
curls and pale faces. Sometimes in the
libraries in the evening one sees a stu
dent take a piece Of dry bread out Of
his pocket and MUNICH it while study
ing, that being his whole supper. There
was one student who always walked
with his coat collar turned up. He was
found frozen dead one morning. He
had hardly anything on underneath his
coat But while American students
who find themselves hard up will do
manual labor, if nothing better can be
found, a French student would rather
starve than do so, and as one of them
expressed it, Rather starve during
nine years and not do manual labor
than live fairly we'll and finish the
same studies in three years and work
for al Hying."-Paris Letter in New
York Post

WONDERS OF SLEEP.
Elects of slumber Upon II

Effects of slu1nber Upon the
Brain and the Heart.
shakespeare said "a scientist, "call-
sleep the ape Of death. That is a
liking name for striking thing.
ep is a wonderland Let us explore
self hypnotism is a mysterious force
1t we can exercise on ourselves in
eep alone. We are all self hypnotists
re all, on certain nights. tell ourselves
trmly that we must not oversleep, that
the next morning-at 4, at or 6 pre-
cisely-we must wake up. And we do
wake up. Our sleeping selves respond
to the hypnotic suggestion made the
night before by our waking selves.
That is mysterious and striking, isn't
it? Still more mysterious and striking,
though, is the fact of our keeping track
of the time somehow in our slumber.
How Oh earth do we do this?
1t is impossible to do without sleep.
Men have slept standing, walking, even
running. They have slept in battle, I'M
der fire, with guns roaring on all Sides
They have slept in uncomfortable and
deadly pain.
There is no torture equal to that
which the deprivation Of sleep entails
The Chinese are the cruelest folk on
earth and the most ingenious Of tor
turers. Well, the Chinese place the dep
rivation of sleep at the head Of their
torture list.
Sleep is a state of rest The heart
rests in sleep. The heart is a rhythmic
muscle, not one that never reposes, but
one that works at short shifts, like
puddler, moment on, 4 moment off.
Well, when we sleep the hearts shifts
of rest are redoubled. It works, then,
one on, two off, getting, indeed, pretty
nearly as much repose as we do.
The brain in sleep becomes pale
and sinks below the level of the skull.
When we are awake the brain is high
and full and ruddy
"Not only the brain and heart, but
even the tear glands, rest in sleep.
That is why when we awake we al
ways rub out eyes. The rubbing is an
instructive action that stimulates the
stagnant tear glands and causes them
to moisten properly our eyes, all dried
from their inaction.' Buffalo News.

vOLCANlCI ACTIVITY.
A Theory to Explain the Source and
Cause of Eruptions.

OAuSC "a kAHUPlAOHSs
In a volume on volcanoes Professor
G.. Doelter undertakes to tell why vol
canoes have eruptions Melted rock
such as is flung from Nesuvius requires
a temperature Of 1000 degrees Fahren-
heit, so that it becomes liquid only far
down in the earth, perhaps sixty or
hundred miles. Below the outer crust
Of cooled and solidifed rocks there
must be a large zone of rock which still
remains solid because it's temperature
is less than that of the melting point
corresponding to the pressure under
which it rests, and below that again
there must be rock or magma in
state Of fusion. It is to this magma
that Professor Doelter looks for the
primary source of all volcanic activity.
At the same time the depth at which
this primary reservoir of magma lies
and the pressure under which it is con-
fined are so great that direct eruption
from it is inconceivable, but when, by
movements in the everything crust or
otherwise, a channel is opened the
magma may rise to a depth where it is
surrounded by rock at lower temper
allure than the melting point. In these
circumstances qualification begins.
From all volcanoes large quantities
Of steam, Of carbonic acid and other
gases are evolved, and the course Of
every lava stream is marked by clouds
of steam evolved from the cooling lava.
at one time-and the idea is still COM
months steam was supposed to have
been derived from sea water which
had obtained access to the molten lava
while still underground, but this ex-
PLANTATION is now generally rejected, be-
ing impossible in some cases and mad
equate in all, and the greater part Of
the steam and other emanations from
a volcano are now regarded as directly
derived from an original store in the
interior of the earth. However this
may be, it is certain that the magma
from which volcanic lava is derived is
not merely in state Of igneous fusion,
but is combined with water and gases,
which are given off as it solidifies and
by their escape frequently form minia-
ture volcanoes on the surface of lava
streams.
If the qualification takes place I'M
derground the steam and gases are ex-
PEELED, and, il there is no free escape,
pressure may increase till it becomes
great enough to overcome the resist
ance Of the everything rock and so lead
to an eruption and the formation of a
volcano, whose character will depend
on the nature of the reservoir from
which the eruption took place.

Boise, Idaho, Feb. est has been
definitely decided that the Investigate

tomorrow. 1t is not known whether
Orchard. who is said to have confess

ell before the jury.
In the statement made by Governor
GoodiDg respecting the confession
made by Orchard it was stated tnat
the prisoner had told of two unsuccess-
full attempts to kill the former COVER
nor. One of these was an effort to shoot
him at his home week or so before
the ssm"rder. A favorable opportunity
did not arrive. Prior to that it SEEM
ed bomb was laid in the pathway
taken by the governor. 1t was arrang-
ed with wire stretched across the
pc tn. hefin;ended victim, however,
uDconscio usly stepped over the wire
and never knew how close to death
lie bau been. This was the bomb after
ward used for killing him. The bomb
was like the one laid for Judge God
dard in Denver, having bottle of sui
rhuric acid So arranged that the cork
would be drawn by a pull on the
wire.
When the second attme pit was made
long FISH line was attached to the
wire, the bomb being tied to the inside
of the gatepost. A pull on the line fir

plished the object. The unsuccessful
attempt was made in November. Or
