The following from the Isle of
Zines appeal, under the heading,
Home Again, will be of interest
to many in the city and vicinity:
"Conspicous among those who
returned to the island last week from
the United States were Mr. and Mrs.
w. c. Schultz. They have been at
the north for several months and
apparently had a splendid time.
They have again opened their cot
tage a t Santa Fe, and Mr.. Schulz is
once again prepared to sell any or
all Of the land on the island. He
expects the season to be a good one
and met many people at the north
who are very apt to become lnte-
rested here this winter. The return
Of Mrs Schultz is good news for the
society clement in which she is a
great favorite They were accom-
panied hy Mr.. A II. Wegemann OF
the San Iuan Land company and a
relative Of Mr. Schultz. He will
remain here fore some time on bust
ness. T"

How towards Were Punished.

Many Of the devices by which mill
tary Indifference to life has been ma
tured and sustained are curious. In
ancient Athens the public temples
were closed 20 those who refused mill
tary service, who deserted their ranks
or lost their bucklers, while a law con
strained such offenders to sit for three
days in the public forum dressed in
the garments of women. Many a Spar
tan mother would stab her son who
came back alive from a defeat and
such a man, if he escaped his mother,
was debarred not only from public Of
fees, but from marriage, exposed to the
blows Of all who chose to strike him,
compelled to dress in mean clothing
and to wear his beard negligent!y
trimmed. In the same way a horse
soldier who fed or lost his shield or re-
ceived a wound in any save the front
part of the body was by law prevented
from ever afterward appearing in pub
lie

Salt. the CiViIixer.

The use Of salt as 4 necessary sup
plement to diet has had much influence
in shaping the civilization and eXplora-
ton Of the world 1t is most probable
that the oldest trade routes were ere
ated for the salt traffic as salt and
incense formed the chief necessaries
of the ancient Gays. This was certain
~ the case with the caravan routes in
Libya and the Sahara, While the mines
of north India were the center Of
large trade before the time of Alexan-
der.
Another interesting fact is that salt
has played a considerable part in the
distribution of man. When it became
absolutely necessary to him, as it did
at an early stage Of his development,
he was forced to migrate to places
where it could be obtained This
brought him to the seashOre where he
gained his ideas Of maritime commerce.
Lastly, the preseryative effects Of salt
on flesh food made long oceanic v0y-
ages possible and thus opened UP the
world to commerce and civilization.

The First Electric Train.

The earliest public trial of passen-
ger boat driven by an electric motor
was that conducted by Professor ia
cobb Of ST Petersburg in the year 1898,
though for four years previously he
had successfully experimental with
electric traction in the privacy of his
own grounds. The trial Of Jacobs
vessel took. place on the Neva and was
witnessed by vast crowd of people
The boat was twenty-eight feet long
and ten feet wide and carried fourteen
persons.
1t was not until four years later that
we find any record Of a passenger car
riage driven by electricity on land, and
in this case the inventor was Alexan-
der Davidson of Edinburgh. The car
riage was sixteen feet long by seven
feet wide and was impeIled for mile
and half at the rate Of four miles an
hour on the Edinburgh and Glasgow
railway.

The Game of the sheen.

Among the gypsies of Bosnia there
is a curious game called ''the game of
the sheep"
You know they skin a sheep or goat
in the east by dragging the skin off
whole over it's head This skin the
Bosnians drip and grease most care
fully. Then they tie up the four legs
and the neck and blow it full of air, so
that it looks like a very greasy, badly
shaped sheep. This is thrown in the
middle of ring, and each man in turn
jumps on it with bare feet until one
succeeds in bursting it. The lucky one
then gets a purse. Such a funny sight
as it is to see them jump and sprawl,
for Of course if they do not strike it at
just the right angle they slip on the
greasy surface as if it were a toboggan
slide and go sprawling

one to do what he pleased and even
the slaves were permitted much liberty
of speech and action. All work was

Individual plates for table use were
unknown to the ancients, who held
their meat in their hands or employed
the fiat wheaton cakes then made on
which to hold their victuals They are
first mentioned in A. D. 600 as used by
the luxurious on the continent, and in
the ninth century they had come into
common use both in England and on
the continent They were made of
wood or some kind of earthenware, the
former material being preferred be-
cause it did not dull the knives.

The Nature of an Oath.

Some years ago a case was on trial before the judge of court in city adjoining Boston in which among the numerous witnesses for the defense was a decidedly ignorant appearing and shiftless looking colored man named Jones, who was to testify as to an alibi.
 He was finally called, and the usual oath was about to be administered, when the attorney for the prosecution arose and addressed his honor, sug- gesting that MT. Jones be interrogated as to his understanding of the solem- nifty of an oath The judge therefore asked the witness if he understood the nature of an oath, to which he replied, "Yes, sah."
 Well" said his honor, what is ft?'' To which MT. Jones immediately re piled, "When you tell lie, stick to it. , Boston Herald.

Self Control.

A Boston woman was standing on a street crossing waiting for a car when a box of powdered charcoal fell from a passing wagon and broke open. The beautiful light dress she was wearing was ruined by the dust The driver, who stopped to recover the package, saw the damage and said, "I am very sorry, ma'am." The woman bowed and replied, ''It was not your fault, sir" He that taketh city is indeed a small person beside the possessor of such self control as that.-Youth's Companion.

A JOCULAR MONARCH.
Ivan the Terrible Had Cold Flooded
 Notions About JestinG.

Notions About Jesting.
 Ivan the Terrible forgot neither his devotions nor his diversions. His pal ace alternately resounded with praying and carousing. For his pastime bears were brought from Novgorod. When from his window he perceived a group of citizens collected he let slip two or three of these ferocious animals, and his delight on beholding the flight of the terrified creatures, and especially on hearing the cries of the victims, was unbounded His bursts of laughter were loud and long continued. To console those who were maimed for life he would sometimes send each of them a small piece of gold.
 Another of his chief amusements was in the company of testers, whose duty it was to divert him, especially before and after any executions, but they of ten paid dearly for an unreasonable joke.
 Among these none was more distin- guished than Prince Gvosdef, who held high rank at court.
 The czar, being one day dissatisfied with a jest, poured over the princes head the boiling contents of soup basin. The agonized wretch prepared to retreat from the table, but the tyrant struck him with knife, and he fell senseIess to the floor. Dr. Arnolph was instantly called.
 Save my good servant" cried the czar. 'I have tested with him little too hard"
 ''So hard" replied the other, ''that only God and your majesty can re- store him to life. He no longer breathes."
 Ivan expressed his contempt, called the deceased favorite a dog and con- tinued his qmusements.
 Another day, while he sat at table, the waywode of Staritza, Boris Tftof, appeared, bowed to the ground and sa- luted him after the customary manner.
 God save thee, my dear waywode. Thou deservest a proof of my favor"
 He seized a knife and cut off an ear. Titof thanked the czar for his gracious favor and wished him a happy reign PearSon's Weekly

ROBBED PETER u. OLNEY.
Ingraterul Butler Only Had Plumber q Few
Hours Sleuths' Zoo Guess.

August Larsen, a Norwegian butler
employed by Peter b, Olney, formerly
District Attorney of New York, at his resi-
dence at Lawrence, l.. l., left Lawrence on
the . o'clock train yesterday morning
carrying with him a suit case heavy with
silverware.
There were ovor so articles in the case
and their total value exceeded So, 900, but
they did the Norwegian no good. He
hardly had time to eat breakfast, after his
arrival in this city, before Central Office
men had both him and his booty.
Larsen was told by Mrs. Olney on We'd
nesday evening that her husband. de-
tanned in this city by business, would be
was entrusted with the care of the table
silver, which included many wedding
presents, and some time during the night
he sorted from it Discriminatory as many
pieces as he could conveniently carry
Before leaving he cut the telephone wire.
Arriving in town, Larsen went to the
Hotel Regent, at Twenty-eighth street and
Sixth avenue, in the centre of the pawn
broking district Of the Tenderloin. After
breakfast, he started out to dispose OF the
plumber,
Central Office Detectives Bowie and
Charleton noticed him look into the window
OF one pawnshop, stand before it in in
decision for a moment and then walk on to
Others, where he repeated the process.
Presently they walked up to him and asked
what he was looking for, He wanted to
find a good place to pawn a watch, he said,
n place where they would give him what the
watch was worth. Boyle took hold of the
handle OF the suit case. 1t felt hea vier
than u packed with clothing. He opened
it and then marched the Norwegian to
Police Headquarters.
There the detectives learned that Mrs.
Olney, having discovered the theft, had
first tried to telephone to her husband on
her own phone and had then gone 10 a
neighbours. Mr., olney had lost no time
In letting the police know the news.
Mr.. 0lney went to Police Headquarters
and identified the butler and the property.
Larsen, he said, had come from Norway
last August and secured employment with
him at once. He V as sober and industrious
and both he and Mrs. Olney trusted him.
Larsen's only explanation was that he had
been tempted and had fallen. He was
sorry, he said. hat he had been so migrate
full to people who had used him kindly.
Later in the day he was arraigned in Jeffer-
son Market police court and held in 81, 500
bail He will be taken to Mineola to-day.
