1T was troubled for five years with a
chronic disease. I tried every thing /

consumption of the bowels.

took his medicine two months, but it did

Stamp That Walked.
From the New York Times.

From the New YORK 11meS.
IAN old gentleman" remarked the
druggist, bought some stamps from me
one day last week, and after he had
moistened one of them 1t slipped from his
finger and fell to the floor He did not
bother to pick it up. and after affixing an
other stamp on his letter left the store
and I forgot all about the Incident A
few minutes later my clerk came into
the store from the rear room, and at
once his face attracted my attention, for
he seemed to be trouble about something.
while he gazed fxedly In a certain direc-
ton. Calling over to me he said: m
sure I am not drunk, and do not think
I am crazy but I do see something that
| cannot understand I looked where he
pointed and distinctly saw the postage
stamp moving steadily up the side OF tho
wall!
THE explanation is this: The stamp
which the old gentleman dropped had
fallen on q fly and stuck to it.

Each Mans Share of the GQobe.

There is no immediate prospect that
the landed surface of the globe will be
divided up and allotted in equal shares
to each of its human inhabitants, but
if such a time ever does come it will
be found that each will get a little
truck farm of 1912 acres. The landed
surface of the globe contains, as near
as it is possible for the geographers to
ascertain, 33,600,000,000 acres, which,
divided among the 1,5O0,000,0e0 inhab-
itants which the world contains,
roughly speaking, would give each Of

lation of the world into consideration

A Cauktfc Critic.

an account of the rendering of "King
Lear" on the stages of a very small
theater in the town where the paper
sappears. The hungarian critic began
his article in this way: THE historians
of literature are still at daggers drawn
as TO who wrote Shakespeare's pieces
Shakespeare or Bacon. After tonight's
performance of King Lear there can
not be a doubt on the matter if any one
will take the trouble to look into the
tombs of those two famous men. The
one who still lies on his back has not
written King Lear at any rate, for the
true author during tonight's perform
ance must certainly have turned in his

ANCIENT ARTISTS.
Wonderful and Lasting Work of the
GrecO-EGyptian Painters.

Wonderful and Lasting Work of the
GrecO-EEyptian Painters.
The methods of the artists Of ancient
Greece and Egypt were totally differ
ent from those of the present day and
were evidently vastly more durable.
Panels of wood were used TO paint on
sycamore and cypress-also panels or
papier mache, and occasionally they
were formed by gluing three thick
nesses of canvas together. These pam
els were usually about fourteen inches
long by seven inches wide. The artist
used liquid wax instead of oil to mix
the colors, which were made, not from
vegetable, but from mineral substances,
and were of marvellous brilliancy and
permanence-blue powdered lapis la
Zuli, green malachite, red oxide Of iron,
etc, The cOlOrs were laid on in patches,
somewhat after the fashion Of a mo-
safe, and afterward blended with an
instrument called the cestrum, which
appears to have been lancet shaped
spatula, long handled, with at one end
a curved point, at the other a finely
dentated edge. With the tOothed edge
the wax could be equalized and smooth
ed, while the point was used for plac-
ing high lights, marking lips, eyebrows,
etc
The final process, which gives the
name encaustic to this kind of paint
ing, was the burning in of the colors.
This was done by the application of a
Cd fn tho -,
Egypt the heat of the sun was prob
ably all that was needed to complete
the artists work.

AN ANCIENT TELEGRAPH.
Used by Crccian Generals In the
Time of Aristotle.

Time of Aristotle.
Telcgraphy as a means Of conveying
Information TO a distance by means of
signals. etc, was used by the Grecian
.gencruls i'm the time of Aristotle. This
early mode Of telegraphing consisted
of two or more earthen vessels. ex-
.actly similar in shape and size and fill
ed with water. These vessels were
each provided with faucets of exactly
the same caliber, so that an equal
amount of water could be discharged
from each in a given time.
In these vessels several uprights
were fixed, each with disks attached,
on which were certain letters and SEN
fences. When all was in readiness
the party desiring to communicate
with another started a. signal, which
was continued until it was answered
by another which sgnified Ego ahead
When that signal was given both turn
ed the faucets, and the water COM
menced to escape. Tie water contin-
ued to flow until the sender of the
message relighted his torch, when the
outlet to both was instantly stopped.
The receiver then read the message on
the disk which was standing level with
the water, and if everything had been
executed with eXactness it correspond
ell with the message which the sender
desired to convey, and which of course
was the one also shown. on the disk
standing on a level with the water in
his vessel.
