Why Penmen Get Tired.

The average person has no idea how
much muscular effort is expended in
writing letter. A rapid penman can
write thirty words in a minute. To do
this he must draw his pen through the
space of sixteen and half feet. In
forty minutes his pen travels furlong
and in five hours a third Of mile In
writing an average word the penman
makes in the neighborhood of sixteen
curves of the pen. Thus In writing
thirty words to the minute his pen
would make $50 curves, $4,000 curves
an hour and S6,40O,000 in a year of
300 days of ten hours each. The man
who succeeded in making 100000
marks with pen in a month was not
at all remarkable. Many men make
100000 while merely writing.-Min-

One of the few walled cities in this

that of Cartagena. Colombia, South

ttanding and in excellent condition,
stretches its irregular circumference
several miles In inclosing what was
one of the gayest, wealthiest and lar

lays Of Spanish supremacy. 1t Is said
that $50,000,000 was spent In construct
Ing this wall, and it must be remem-

that meant considerably more money
than it does now.
The wall Is wide enough to accom-

Is fat in most places, while at inter-
walls there stand sentry boxes, showing
that the wall was meant to guard the
light hearted residents within it's in
closure from sudden attacks either by
sea or by land.
AT one end of the wall near the sea

Comet Panics.

Joseph Jerome Latrancais de La
lande the popular French astronomer
of century ago, differed from New
tons view that Providence had so ar
ranged matters as to make collision of
the earth with a comet impossible and
wrote a paper to prove that it was
only very improbable. This paper
which was to have been read with 9th
ers before the French academy on a
certain day in 1878. got crowded out,
but the Partisan public, hearing of it,
made UP its mind that Lalande had
predicted the impending destruction Of
the earth and such panic ensued that
the police had to order the publication
Of the paper to reassure the public
mind. But even then 1t was popularity
believed that the paper had been DELHI
erately toned down and comet panics
continued for quarter of century.

A SLAB OF BLACK STONE.
Key to All the Ancient Writings of tho
Egyptians.

There is Il slab of black stone in the
British museum which IL you could
walk away with it and establish your
claim as the owner you could sell any
day for a quarter of million and find
half Il dozen money kings in England
and America ready to buy it.
There is nothing very striking about
this stone. 1t might be a piece of
black marble with some peculiar hero
glyphics upon it. But it is just these
hieroglyphics which make it so valua-
ble because they are the key to all
the ancient writings of the Egyptians.
and without this stone, called the Ro-
setta stone we should be unable to
read the Egyptian writings which have
been discovered from time to time
Some French tourists found the Ro-
setta stone in Egypt and transported
it to Paris. where an Englishman took
a fancy to it for a garden ornament.
He paid IS for it, sOvereigns-and
got treasure which you could cover
with gold and yet not represent it's
value but till the day Of his death he
did not know what that bit Of stone
was worth.-London World.

The Landlord Told His Literary Guest
How to Get Out.
In the days before the dawn of his
fame it was the practice of a certain
well known author to wander up and
down the land seeking what he might
devour in the way Of suggestion and
local color. In this way he had drifted
into Arkansas, "roughing it." and not,
as he expresses 1t, presenting an ap-
pearance calculated to inspire hotel
proprietor with unlimited confidence.
The only hotel in the town. frame
structure, seemed to have been built
upon the theory that there was plenty
of room straight up, but that ground
had to be bought, and the wanderer
was shown to room on the third
floor, reached through many narrow
and winding passages. From the one
window it was a straight drop to the
ground.
Say how would l get out of this
place In case of fire." he asked the
landlord, who had brought up his grip.

A HEAVY MIDDAY MEAL.

The day with breakfast, which is gen.
orally a substantial meal. This the

slider barbaric and disgusting. The
Frenchman and the German breakfast
on a scanty roll. They are consequent
ly unable to go till the afternoon with
out absorbing something massive. The
Frenchman toward noon takes a sub
Btantial lunch, and at midday the Ger
man takes heavy meal, which alb
serbs his digestive energies during the
remainder of the day. The German
dinner makes a big break in the work
ing day, and the eater. according to
DR.. Martinez of Paris, suffers by loss
Of energy during the afternoon. The
heavy midday meal DR.. Martinez con-
siders a mistake. One should not have
dinner at noon, in the middle Of ones
workday, he says, but instead should
take a light lunch. The lightest meal
of the day, he thinks, should be during
the period of eXertion, and the heavy
meal should be reserved for a later
hour when there Is chance for di-
gestive repose. The proper series for
the modern man, according to this au-
thority, is a substantial breakfast, a
light lunch about noon and a square
meal at 6,o'clock or later.-Baltimore

Although many authorities have de-

NAMES FOR BIG GUNS.
Two Significant Ones That Were Sc.

At the Fort Pitt foundry. Fort Pitt,
Pa, were cast in 1867 for the monitor
Puritan two twenty-inch guns. which
Captain w. G. Wise, then chief of the
hawai- bureau Of ordnance. proposed to
call Satan and Lucifer. This PROPOSE
ton called forth a protest from the
pastor of Presbyterian church at
Pittsburg, who characterized 1t as
"most unseemly, IL not fmpious." His
letter was referred by the member of
congress to whom it was addressed to
the department and finally came into
the hands of Captain Wise for reply.
In answer he called attention to the
foreign custom of giving to vessels
such names as Jupiter, Juno. Vulcan.
Venus, Juggernaut. Inferno and Luci-
fer and Satan to convey an idea of the
power OF the destructive agent used in
battle. These guns, argued the learn
ed captain, were not intended for
peace and the utterance of good will
toward men, but to infiict as much
mischief and destruction on human be-
ingS In time of war as their nameSake,
the devil tries to do at all times. He
further reminded his clerical critic that
