Thaekeray's Pantomime.

William Makepeace Thackeray was
always too genial, too generous. too
open handed, to be an accumulation of
this worlds goods, and in spite of the
large earnings Of his pen he died a
poor man. Shortly before his death his
friend, John Leech, the cartoonist, call
ed upon him and found him in his
study withdrawing and signing at
the monotony Of his work.

Elephant. Can Carry a crudae

A Hindoo mahout was employed with
a working elephant in Bangkok, Siam.
and frequently used a steel goad in de-
flance Of all warnings. The result was
that his elephant made frequent at
tempts to kill him, and finally the man
was discharged. Nearly four years
afterward, by a most remarkable coin
cidence, both elephant and mahout met
again in Maulmain, Burma, and no
sooner was the big tusker out Of sight
of the sawmill and well into the forest
than he curled his trunk up backward,
seized his old prosecutor by the neck,
hurled him to the ground, and in an
instant mighty forefoot had crushed
out his life.

THE suLTAN,s SCREEN.
II Is Made of Tanned Human Skin
deliberately Decorated.

II 10 Made OF Tanned Human Skin
Elaborately Decorated.
There is Il story told Of famous and
curious screen which occupies promi-
nent place In the menage Of the sultan
Of Turkey. 1t is made, SO rumor hath
1t, of human skin, perfectly tanned and
deliberately fooled and embossed, and
1t has been in the royal quarters for
more than two centuries. This remark.
able screen is not an evidence of cru
city or barbarity on the part Of Tur-
keys ruler 200 years ago, but is a
memorial to twelve faithful servants
of former sultan. AT one time dur
ing the sultan's reign 200 years ago
wing Of the palace caught fire, and
during the contlagration much loved
member of the sultan's family was res
cued by twelve servants. The twelve
servants persisted, some of them dying
later of their wounds and burns, so
his majesty had their skins removed
by an expert and had them preserved
in this touching though remarkable
manner. The screen Is now looked up
on as part of the rulers inheritance.
and 1t is said that every sultan cher
ishes 1t almost rs he would his own
royal skin.-New York Herald.

Belgium shopkeepers generally are

man in small way, for instance, sells
beer. foreign stamps, fruit, cotton, bis
cults, penkniyes. cheese and second

that the light merely conveyed the In

Strength of the Condor.

The enormous strength of the condor
is only equaled by his voracity and
holiness. This immense bird often
pounces upon small animals, but from
the shape and bluntness of his claws
he is unable to carry anything very
heavy, so he contents himself with
fixing 1t against the ground with one
Of his claws, while with the other and
his powerful beak he rends it to pieces.
Gorged with food, the bird then be-
comes incapable of flight and may be
approached, but any attempt at cap
ture is furiously resisted.

Astronomers have no generally ac-
