Davis, /. T., Feb. 14.--There is much
loud and bitter complaint against the
Santa Fe for its apparent hardness in
fetching ordered freight to this town.
Contractor Harwood has suffered much
annoyance and loss by not receiving
material that was ordered and paid for
several weeks ago. It will be almost
impossible for him to complete the
forty room hotel building by March l.
and all owing TO the slow arrival of
the building material The railroad
company of course, Is unusually
swamped with freight business. They
need a double track.

BiddefOrd. in DevOnshire. crosses the
Torridge river near the spot OF its

so very rapidly here that it was found

A EorOe RcfOrruer,

The people VI the Farce Islands cling
10 their old customs and see little good
in change, says the author of THE
Faroes and Iceland" but now and then
one OF them becomes a conservative re-
former. Such was an old man or
Stromo who, in his youth. had learned
cabinetmaking in Copenhagen, then
had been blacksmith In New South
Wales and later q marine In the Dan
ish navy during the Sleswlck-Holstein
war. Having thus Travelled far beyond
the widest dreams Of his countrymen,
he returned while still comparatively
young man to StroInO and Invested his
savings in home. Conservative
though he appeared to outlanders. to
the islanders he was reckless In
novator. He rooted his house with
slate instead OF with the traditional
turf. but could find none to follow his
example. They shook their heads in
doubt. He argued vainly with them
against the habit Of throwing fish
cleanings Into the brook and getting
drinking water lower down. The only
advice they would accept from him
and that after long hesitation-was TO
boil their fish oil outdoors instead of in
the firing room. But when this ter
ribIe mnovator heard from a visitor
that women rode bicycles in England
he was so astonished that he asserted
confidently that the world could not
last much longer.

Napoleon's father was topper, a man
utterly lacking In moral sensibility,
and his sisters were immodest and hys-
terical. According to DR.. Cabanas,
Pauline was particularly so. Napoleon
himself was exceedingly sensitive to
atmospheric changes, was headachey
and had auditory Illusions. He had
twitchIngs OF the arms, the shoulders
and the lips. He was at times the
most irritable OF men. often being un-
approachable His mania for destruc-
ton was such that he whitfield pieces
of furniture, broke articles presented
TO him. plnched babies while pretend
Ing to caress them and took keen de-
light In shooting Josephine's rarest
birds. The slightest opposition threw
him into a paroxysm Of rage. But In
n campaign all weaknesses vanished.
His pulse ranged ordinarily between
thirty and thlrty-five beats n minute
and never went above fifty-fve. The
usual pulse rate is about seventy-two
minute.

The weight of air has often been
tested by compressing it in receptacles
by the air pump. That 1t really mas
weight when so compressed Is shown
by the fact that the weight OF the yes
sells Is increased slightly by filling
them with compressed air and that
such vessels become specifically light
err as soon as the air contained IN
them IS exhausted. Many elaborate
experiments on the weight of air nave
proved that the cubic foot weighs 900
grains, or something less than one ana

Original NJ "Vnc.e Toby.o

Captain Roger Sterne, the father or

the original of Uncle Toby. AS captain
of Chudleigh's regiment OF foot,

Roger Sterne and his family TASTED the
most varied military and domestic ex-
periences In Flanders, at Gibraltar and
finally at Jamaica, where the old cam

less and rather peppery Irishman, Rog-
er bore his disappointment bravely and
carried his load of debt with q light

of a kindly. sweet disposition, void of
all design and so innocent in his own
intentions that he suspected no one, so
that you might have cheated him ten
times day If nine had not been sufli-

germ from which the genius of the son
developed his conception Of one Of the

to call "ths European aborigines OF

aspect of slyness to his respect which
inspired the idea that IT was not un-

that the Dutch, In spite Of their stolldi'

selves. "For instance" he would say
