manner and time in which 1t was

be benefited by Don Pedro's gener.
osity.
To the American mind Don Pedro is
an enigma. 1t is not his philanthropy
that causes the Yankee to wonder, for
the Yankee can be one of the most
generous givers when so inclined, but
1t is his indifference to the making of
money. Although his mine, it is said.

pany to produce $1,000,000 month.
Don Pedro contents himself with much
less than that amount.
He has been reported as only work.

needed the cash, but this he denies.
Il operate my mining plant" he says,
"the same as you gentlemen from the
United States would, If you had it.
but with this difference: I don't try
to dig out all the silver in it at once.
Another strange thing about Don
Pedro Is that he loves his poor rela-
tives. He keeps his house at Parral
filled with them. Anybody who can
trace the slightest connection with the
wealthy mine owner, either by birth
or marriage, is welcome within his
gates. And when he cannot spend
his income on his people fast enough
at home, he charters a special train,
packs them all aboard and starts of
on a journey, just where he never
knows in advance.
Unlike the average American who
grows wealthy, Don Pedro does not
care for personal attendants. He
shaves himself, cuts his own hair,
blacks his own shoes, and does a
part Of his own cooking. After his
wife died he for long time dressed
his three children himself. Nor is he
circumspect in his spending of money
as many American capitalists. If he
takes fancy to something he will
buy of it dozen times as much as
he needs. A year ago he met an Amer
lean sewing machine agent, who so
interested him in his particular ma
chine that Don Pedro bought so of
them. and put one in each room in
his house. Another great source of
enjoyment for this peculiar man is to
give work to the poor. If a beggar
asks him for aims he will shake his
head. mo, but I'll let you work for

will say. Not long ago, when the

THE CAUSE OF kLEPToMANlA
It 10 Said to Result Sometimes from
Close Study.

Kleptomania is occasionally induced
by continued and close application to
the study of q particular subject. A
singular case was recently reported
from Germany.
A well-known professor was found
to have transferred to his own private

The existence of mental derange-
ment was clear from the facts that
came out in the course of the investi-
cation afterward made by the museum

It was found that the professor had
often sent his wife out all day to catch
butterflies. so intense was his passion
for these insects. On one occasion the
professor, while hunting q butterfly,
was nearly run over by an express
train; at another time he fell into a

THE TosAccoNlsT's EFFioY.


One of the most peculiar things in
the whole history of signs is the
fact, that while all other shopkeep-
ers were patronizing the embryo
painters, the tobacconist always
called upon the wood carver OH the
continent as well as in England AS
long ago as Elizabeth's reign the
wooden image of the Black Boy was
the favorite sign of the tobacco
dealers. Later the customary sign
was the Highlander, or a figure of
Sir Walter Raleigh.
In Holland, for some strange rea-
son, the tobacconists adopted the
dairy maid as their sign, with the
motto, Consolation for sucklings."
The Indian, naturally enough, has
always been the predominant sign in
this country, although once in
a while reversion to type crops out
with the ancient Black Boy.-The
Sunday Magazine.

HOW BROOKLYN is SOLVING THE
WATER PROBLEM.
Millions Of Gallons Brought Up from
Subterranean Channels by .
System of Compressed Air
Power.

While New York has been priding
Itself upon it's Croton reservoir and
putting millions upon millions in a
water system, Brooklyn, just across
the river, has been going down into
the bowels of old mother earth for her
water supply, and has during the past
year succeeded in reaching seeming
ly inexhaustible supplies. Seventy
five per cent. of the present supply of
the city is produced from underground
sources. 1t is a revolution that has
been worked within a year.
Convinced, by the conclusion OF
earnest and scientific examinations of
the conditions that a great reservoir
OF water was to be found on Long
island in the second water bearing
gravel stratum underlying the blue
clay, at depths ranging from $50 to
LOGO feet, it was demanded that a
demonstration be made, the Brooklyn
Eagle being prominent in the effort.
On December "a, 1905. the board of
estimate appropriated 100000 to i'm
prove the water station at Jameco. At
this place there has been 81 wells
sunk under the inefficient methods of
the old authorities. Together they pro-
duced 100000 gallons a day, when
they worked. They were practically
under condemnation when they were
put under the air lift system. 1t was
believed that they were in such shape
that nothing could be done with them.
In less than year Is have been put
under the new system, the water bear
tng gravel stratum under the blue clay
has been reached and daily $500, 900
gallons is turned into the conduits for
use by Brooklyn. When the other six
wells are put into the same shape 1t is
estimated that at least 10000, 900 gal
Ions will be the daily production from
this station alone.
In view of the fact that barely .
year ago the conditions were as set
forth above 1t Is astounding that IS
per cent. Of the present water supply
of Brooklyn Is from underground
sources: 20 per cent from unfiltered
surface sources. and five per cent.
from filtered sources. The present
daily consumption averages 135. 000,-
900 gallons daily. 1t has run as high
as 100000 gallons in single day.

gently, as he bent to undo The
patched and mended harness from
the motionless animal. As he spoke
he brushed his hand furtively across
his wether-beaten face.
A crowd of the curious and idle
began to gather, some with flip
plant jests at the forlorn plight of
the two travellers, others touched
with pity at the tragic qualities of
the scene.
The old woman arose and looked
helplessly from one face to another,
understanding only that each one
was strange, and that the hill ken
try was yet far away.
'We-uns KEN from Injiana," she
said, in her slow, drawing tones, as
the crowd pressed nearer. "My son,
Jim, lives thar-him an his wife
an, ten children. We-unS went out
thar ter live, but Jim's wife, she
warn't willin', an so we-uns started
back ter the hill kentry, whence
we-uns KEN. Jim, though, he warn't
to blame.
'Lor, strangers, we-uns hope
none O you-uns IL ever know what
hit is fer be in trouble like this, an
ole, an po'."
Her simple story seemed sudden
ly to arouse a wave of sympathy
that swept over the motley crowd.

the memory of a mothers love still

cosTLlEsr OF ALL EGGS.
Those Of the Extinct Aepyornis Worth
Much Money.

The costliest of all eggs Is tho
largest as well. 1t is the egg OF the
extinct aepyornis, and it is big enough
to hold two gallons Of water.
The aspyornis is supposed to be the
roc that is made famous in the nara
tive of Sinbad the Sailor. Sinbad, the
reader of the Arabian Nights" will
remember, tied himself to the leg OF
a roc, and the bird few down with
him into valley full of diamonds.
In Madagascar number Of aepyor-
mis- skeletons have been found. These
prove the bird to have been over 20
feet in height. 1t. had long neck and
long legs. 1t looked like an ostrich
several times enlarged.
There are half dozen aepyornis
eggs in existence. They are worth
from 5000 to $500 apiece. They are
a foot long, a yard in circumference
and in capacity equal to 135 eggs OF
the modern hen.

city's very feet has been demonstrated

utilization has also been demonstrated
and beyond controversy; and, that the
extension of the system within
borough lines alone will solve the wa
