WIDOWS FAITHFUL SONS.

A rare example Of filial faithful
ness came to light at a recent meet
ing of the Dunmow board of guard
ians. A widow, age 90, named
Maria Unwin, of Thaxted, was IA;
ported to have been maintained vol-'

the aged Sons for their conduct and

IN AFRICA.

Recently there died in the south
of Zanzibar, Central Africa, two
children of eight and five years.
Some hours after burial both bodies
were found to have been dug up
and removed. At first, wild beasts
were blamed, but after a few days
whispers reached the mayor which
caused him to open an investigation.
An old native witch" was arrested,
and then strange tales were told in
evidence that left no room for doubt
that a regular trade exists in the
bodies of the dead for purposes of
sorcery, and that those of Young
children are in especial request.
The purchasers are Arabs, who re
move the flesh, and then grind the
bones for incarnation powders,
which are struggled into the food
of persons over whom a spell" is
to be cast.

LIGHT OF THE STARS.

Various attempts have been made
to estimate the light of the stars.
In the northern hemisphere Argel-
ander has registered $4,000 stars
down to the 81 magnitude, and,
with the aid of the best photometric
data Agnes NJ. Clark's new System
of the Stars gives the sun of the
light of these northern stars as
equivalent to LAO of full moon
light, and the total light of all stars
simultaneously enumerated in both
hemispheres, to the number of
about 100000, is roughly placed at
1-180 of the lunar brightness. The
scattered light of still fainter celes-
tial bodies is difficult to evoluate.
BY a Photographic method Sir Will
liam Abney in 1896 rated the total
starlight of both hemispheres at
100 of full moonlight, and Prof
Newcomb in 1901, from visual OBJ.
servations of diffused sky radiance

Just 1928 times that of Capella, OIL
1-89 of the light of the full moon.
1t is not certain, however, thai
the sky would be totally dark if al
stars were blotted out. Certain proc.
esses make the upper atmosphere
strongly luminous at times, and We
never can be sure that this light i!

cAEERFuLNEss As AN ASSET.
Misfortunes Take Wing In Presence
Of a Sunny Spirit.

Whatever woman may be in her
hours of case-pcrhaps uncertain,
coy and hard to please-whenever
the world goes wrong and trouble
hangs black above the home, it is
she, nine times out of ten, who looks
into the face Of the future most Sc
rcncly, says the Boston Globe.
Mark Twain, in his autobiog-
raphy, pays this tribute to his wife,
who died several years ago in Flor
ence: "She was always cheerful,
and she was always able to coIrmu-
nicate her checrfulness to others.
During the nine years that we spent
in poverty and debt, she was always
able TO reason me out Of my de-
spairs and find a bright side to the
clouds, and make me see it.. In all
that time / never knew her to utter
a word Of regret concerning our al
tered circumstances, nor did ] ever
know her children to do the like,
For she had taught them, and they
drew their fortitude from her"
Too many men get discouraged
too easily. They should learn a les
son from the women. When bust
ness goes to the bad grin, and tho
quicker will fortune be retrieved
There is no better medicine for shat
tered health than a sunny spirit
The discouraged man is beaten be
fore the battle begins; the cheerful
man always has a fighting chance

DISCOVERED THE STOVE.

F. K. Gregory, assistant general
passenger agent of the Santa Fe,
who has his office in the Ferry
building, has set a new fashion in
railroad circles, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
1.-THE winds from the bay are get
ting chilly, and Gregory has put a
small oil stove in his office, at which
the officials poke fun, although they
occasionally sit around it and get
warm.
The stove is placed over in one
corner, where a stool formerly stood,
and in the darkness it is hard to tell
them apart.
"Where's that stove I've been
hearing so much about?" said Fred
Prince, as he walked into the Of
flee.
Gregory was silent, SO Prince took
a seat, and with a howl.
"Did you find it?" asked Gregory,
with the ghost of a smile.

1.-THE SPRINKLE DOLLAR"

''The Sprinkle Dollar" so called
because it vas made by a man of the
name of Josiah Sprinkle, who owned
a silver mine in the west. One day
along in the thirties he appeared
at his home in an eastern town
with a buckskin pouch full of silver
dollars made by his own hand. They
we're not counterfeits, but had ON
one side a s~ix-pointed star, and ON
the other side the stamp of IN owl.
They were pure silver, weighing
more than the regular dollar, and
really worth more than 100 cents
He had no difficulty in passing his
coin, but one day the government
found it out and caused his arrest
for counterfeiting. He was set free,
however, as his money in no way i'm
itated Uncle Sans, and besides was
worth more. :

OLD ENGLISH FAIR.

The Nottingham (England) goose
fair was held recently. This insti-
tuition, which is so old that his
torians confess themselves unable to
fix the date of its origin, was for
merly devoted mainly to business,
and covered a period of nine days.
The volume of business dwindled in
modern times until in 1876 it was
decided that five days was quite
enough, and in 1880 the period was
further reduced to three days. The
fun of the fair, however, grew with
the decline of business, and now it
is almost the whole thing. Farm
animals are still sold on the out
skirts of the city, but the extensive
market-place is given over wholly to
shows and a~musements.

PROOF THAT DOGS REASON.


A most interesting discussion is
going on in the papers on the above
subject. DO dogs reason? One side
says no, the other yes. SO far the
ayes seem to have the best OF the
argument. Here is an example that
recently came under the notice OF
the writer. A friend has a dog
that is growing old and fat, but
not in the least stupid. He does
not follow very well, and she takes
him out very often on a strap. The
other morning she was in a great
hurry and rushed poor Fido, as we
shall call him, along at a great rate.
He did not like it at all, but had
to come %willy-nilly. Suddenly she
felt the strap lighter and looked
around to see Fido sitting on the
pavement some feet back with an
expression of the utmost obstlnacy
on his face. She went back and
slipped his collar on. But Fldo
had learned a new trick. He had
discovered that if he sat down sud-
denly and firmly the collar would
slide off and three times while he
was out he worked that trick. Each
time there was the monkey sitting
on the sidewalk with that look that
said as plainly as words: Il won't
be dragged along. No s~elf-respect.
ing dog would submit to such treat
ment!"
This same dog was at a military
camp a couple of years ago, and h
learned to distinguish the bugle cal
for the officers mess. When on
blew he rushed off to the right tent
and when the other pealed forth h
scampered in the opposite direction

LIFE IN WATER RESERVOIRS.
Presence Of Animal Organisms poss'
Not Hurt Drinking supply.

James Murray, Of the scottish
lake survey, has recently pointed out
in a lecture given at Edinburgh,
that many persons are needessiy
alarmed at the presence Of plant
md animal life in water r~eservolrs-
Nothing short of poisoning the wa
ter could prevent this as artificial
reservoirs must sooner or later be-
come stocked with the same organ
isms that live in lakes. All Of these
aquatic animals, except fish, are
moderately small or quite micro
scopic, and the majority are intro
duccd by means of their eggs or by
feeders of the reservoirs. CHATS
and other insects fly to the reser-
voirs and lay their eggs on the sur
face Of the water. An examination
of the older reservoirs which supply
Edinburgh showed them to be bio
logically akin in this respect to the
permanent lakes. If the presence
of organisms had an appreciable
effect on the chemical composition
of water, it was in all probability
beneficial. The animals acted as
scavengers, and all dead and decay
ing matter was eaten up by them,
while their excrement sank to the
bottom Of the water.
1t should be borne in mind, how
ever that the Scottish expert was
speaking of reservoirs where there
is a healthy circulation of the water
by inflow and outflow, and where
there is no contamination from
sewage or otherwise. TO encourage
ignorance or carelessness in con-
nection with a great city's water
supply was the last thought of the
lecturer.

amount of grating and dishonesty
In the distribution Of cars. Many
concerns pay blackmail regularly
to get cars assigned them and
there are plenty of roalroad en-
ployes on salaries of from $50 to
500 a month who are getting rich
and buying property that they
never pay for out Of their salaries.
The serious political feature OF
the situation is that the instant
the administration moves for any
measure of government control
over the physical property OF the
roads there are scores of men in
Congress who will declare that
this is government sy..ownership
thinly disguised and asthat the
President is going further than
