There is one thing in particular in st.
Patrick's cathedral in New York that
you cannot see in any other building
in the city, if indeed in the country. 1t
is a framed sheet of paper hanging on
the wall of the southern entrance that
contains the complete chain of title of
the property on which the edifice
stands from the time it was first sold
until the church authorities bought it.
The only reason for it's being there so
far as any one knows is to put a stop
to the old story that the property was
originally purchased by the church for
a dollar. To settle this point the chain
of title shows how much was paid for
1t in the beginning, and from that
point on each change of ownership is
accompanied by the price it was sold
for

They Have Chiefs, Guards and Sem
tries when on the March.
Very similar reports are made from
different parts of north Africa in re-
gard to the monkey tribes that occupy
that continent from Morocco to Abys-
sina. Just how far tribal relations
may have tended to vary the species is
a question quite as important as that
of language. Some points of interest
are found in an English book, "a Visit
to Abyssinia." Says our author
Il have mentioned that large num-
bers of monkeys frequent these hills
They move about In organized bands,
and their proceedings are arranged in
the most orderly and tactical manner
They are difficult to approach unless it
is gradually and cautiously done, but
mounted on a camel l have succeeded
in getting within few yards of them
when they were crossing the path
ahead of me, about fifty in single file
following their leader and looking with
their names like small lions.
Their movements are full of inter
est and well repay observation. They
have chiefs, sentries and advanced and
rear guards on the march The moth
ers carry their children on their backs
exactly like the larger human creatures
In these countries. They talk and chat
ter, the females being especially To-
quaciOus, quarrelsome and combative.
These are clearly under the command
OF the elder males, whose gesture alone
Is sufficient to reduce them to obedi-
ence They live in small caverns
among the hills, but will most certain
ly avoid direct return to their haunts
If followed.
"They are less timid of men when
these are mounted on camels than
when on foot, experience having doubt
less taught them that the former is
usually travelling to destination and
that his steady, jogging pace is rarely
interrupted by his curiosity. On one
occasion, seeing a whole family tribe
on the road home after foraging ex-
cursion, l successfully tempted some
OF the younger ones to leave their
ranks by quietly rolling pieces of bread
and sugar at them, but the older mem
bers were above such weakness and
went on in a stately way up the hill,
disappearing over the ledge and re-
proving the Youngsters as thew retired"

Snuff in Arabia is not used as it Is
with us, although one occasionally sees
a snuffer, but the snuff is ordinarily
made into pill of about the size of a
robins egg and is placed between the
lower front lip and the teeth. This
manner of using snuff is common
among the laboring class, and almost
every cody that is met in the street
has his lower lip puffed out by ball
of snuff behind it. Arabian snuff is
prepared out of the ordinary powdered
tobacco, unretined sugar and potash.

HEALTH AND HABITS.
Tissue Income and Expenditure Must
BE Made to Balance


The day must come at some future
period of sociological development
when the instinct of self preservation
will overrule the pernicious habits and
customs of the present day fashions
and necessity. Men will come to learn
that tissue income and expenditure
must be adjusted to better balance if
the human machine is to be kept in
smoothly working order; that excess of
either is a physiological sin which ma
ture will surely avenge either on the
individual or on his descendants: that
sustained work of the best quality can
only be performed when effort is kept
well within the margin of accomplish
ment; that luxurious idleness and arti-
hclal excitement, when carried beyond
the limits of a healthy counterpoise to
the daily routine of active duty, bring
about their neurasthenic nemesis as
surely as OverstrenuOus endeavor, and
that the coming generation can be fit
ted to battle with the increasing COM
pleXities Of life only if endowed with
bodies that are Structurally perfect
and with nervous centers capable of
producing throughout an average dura-
tion of life sufficient energy to enable
the machine to perform satisfactorily
the work whereto it has been set.
A more vigorous public sentiment,
fostered by an example of greater self
denial and more rigid adherence to
simplicity of life on the part of those
who set the pace and lead the fashions
of the day, would do much to arrest
the downhill rush of the multitude;
pronounced social disapproval of the
immoderate use of alcohol and tobacco
and the stern forbidding of both under
the age of puberty would shield the
nervous centers from two of their most
deadly enemies, :, though it might
at first CRATE against popular feeling,
the introduction by the legislature of
an enactment whereby some form of
compulsory military service was ex-
acted from every healthy young man
would materially contribute to the
preservation Of active minds in vigor-
GUS bodies to those who are destined
to make or mar the future history of
their therland.-Guthrie Rankin, NJ

| Fort Leavenworth, Kan.-William
January, alias C. w. Anderson, for
whose pardon a petition containing
the signatures of $4,000 persons was
presented to President Roosevelt
three months ago. has been released
from the federal prison here. Ander-
son will return to Kansas City, where
he will engage in business.
January was convicted II years ago
of robbing an Oklahoma postofTice and
sentenced to the penitentiary for
three years He escaped two years
later and went to Kansas City, assum-
ing the name of Anderson, and mar
ried.
In April this year an ex-convict who
had known January in the peniten-
tiary notified the warden of the mans
whereabouts and he was rearrested
and taken back to Leavenwerth. Ow-
ing to the exemplary life Anderson
had led in Kansas City his neighbors
started movement for his pardon
The newspapers took up the case with
the result that a petition which is said
to have contained the largest number
of names ever appended to an appeal
for a pardon was forwarded to Wash
ingtOn. President Roosevelt reviewed
the case and upon request of Attorney
General Bonaparte granted a pardon
effective at the expiration of three
months from the time of his arrest
January will see restoration to citi-
Zenship and will ask to have the name
Of Anderson legalized.
Charles w. Anderson reached Kan
sas City few hours after his release
at Leavenworth and went directly to
his home, where a family reunion was
held. Later, when newspaper man
called, he found the little group radi-
ant with happiness. With his Agar
old child on his knee, Anderson talked
of himself.
81 have no plans for the future" he
said save that l will remain in this
city"
My wife and baby are so glad to
see me back, and it's like getting ac-
quainted again." said he to the report
er.
Asked about the report that he
would engage in the pool hall bust
ness, Anderson said it was without
foundation.
Il would not be so ungrateful to the
many who signed for me-" he said.
During the day the following mes
sage signed by Anderson's little girl
was forwarded to WashingtCn
Theodore Roosevelt, President of
the United States: Papa has come
home to stay with mama and me. I'm
so glad, and papa says he is, too. He
says he is a good papa now.

BY NElGHBOR AFTER FAIL

Nunica, Mich, July 22.-Henry
Scutcheon, farmer about so years
of age, living near this village, Sun
day ran amuck with an AK, killing
his invalid son, his wife and her fos-
ter father.
Scutcheon was later shot by Henry
Mcclellan, a neighbor, whom the
crazed murderer had also attacked.
The dead:
Henry Scutcheon.
- Scutcheon, his 19 year old son.
George inning, Mrs. Scutcheon's
faster father.
The Scutcheon farmhouse had ap-
parently always been a happy home,
except for the cloud which the son s
invalidism cast over the family
Sunday, with no warning, so far as
is known, Scutcheon suddenly MUIR
derously attacked his son with an ak.
He crushed the boys head frightfully.
When his wife interfered he turned
on her and pursued the frightened
screaming woman from the house to
the road, where he knocked her down
with his weapon. He then rushed
back to the house and murdered his
foster father in law.
Next he tried to destroy himself.
The maddened man gashed his throat
and wrists with a razor and took some
paris green.
His wounds did not weaken him and
the poison did not take immediate
effect.
AK in hand he returned to the road
where he had felled his wife a few
moments before. The first blow did
not kill her and she had been carried
into the house of Henry Mcclellan
nearby. Mcclellan rushed to another
neighbours for help.
When Scutcheon found that his wife
was in the Mcclellan home alive he
smashed a window with his ak, Jump
ed through it and again attacked her.
This time he crushed her skull. He
then left the Mcclellan home and re-
turned to his own house, but when
Mr.. Mcclellan returned from his
search for help the crazed man came
out and started toward him, saying:
Il want you, too"
Il will shoot if you come across the
road" replied Mcclellan, who had
armed himself with a shotgun. Despite
the Warning, Scutcheon came across.
Mcclellan then shot him dead.
