Frequently in the south one finds
among the negroes as remarkable
Christian names as those bestowed
upon their offspring by the Puritan
fathers. A gentleman of Virginia tells
of a negro living near Richmond who
for years had been Familiarity known
to him as Tim. 1t became necessary
at one time in lawsuit to know the
full name Of the darby. The not I'M
natural supposition that Tim stood for
Timothy met with fat denial.

THE GIANT INDIANS.
Peculiar Ways OF the Onas of TERRA
del FueEo.

del FueEO.
The Onas. tribe of Indians inhabit-
ing the mainland of the TERRA del Flu
ego island, are physical giants. Their
average height is over six feet. A few
are six and one-h half feet; a few fall be-
low six feet. The women are more cor
pulent and not so tall. There is no
race in the world with a more perfect
physical development than the Ona In
dams. This is partly due to the topog-
raphy of the country and the distribu-
ton of the game, which makes long
marches across the country a necessity.
In mentality they fall far below their
physical attainnents. In the past their
supply of game has been plentiful and
this may account for the lack of in
ventive genius among them. This lack
of progressive skill is portrayed in their
home life, clothing and homes. Their
children suffer from it. for, contrary to
the practice common among most In
dams of feeding, dressing and training
the children well. the Onas' little ones
are mostly naked, poorly fed and alto
gether neglected. They have abundant
material for supplying themselves with
clothing and homes, and yet they throw
few branches together. put skins over
the windward side and then shiver un-
der the miserable shelter.
Scientists who have made study OF
the subject say that the language of
the Onas is the strangest ever listened
to. Many Of the words are not difficult
to pronounce, nor is the construction
Of the sentences difficult. but very few
words are interrupted by a sound
which it is impossible to produce. The
speaker hacks, coughs and grunts, dis
torting his face in the most inhuman
manner, and then passes on to the next
stumbling block. The Onas live princi-
pally upon meat, which in former years
was obtained from the guanaco.-New

NAPOLEON'S ESCAPES.
Reckless of Danger, the Great Sol
der Was Often Wounded.

In reply to the question in what en-
gagements he considered himself to
have been in the greatest danger Of
losing his life Napoleon once said, In
the commencement of my campaigns"
Indeed, if further proof were demanded
to show that he did not spare himself
at Toulon it is only necessary to add
that during the ten weeks Of its siege
Napoleon, in addition to bayonet
wound in his thigh, had three horses
shot under him, while at the siege Of
Acre during the expedition to Egypt he
lost no fewer than four in the same
manner.
During the last days of his life. when
captivity, disappointment and sickness
had well nigh completed their work, it
is said that the agony of his fatal dis
ease drew from him on many occasions
the pitiful cry of, why did the cannon
balls spare me?'
During his long military career Napo-
leon fought sixty battles, while Caesar
fought but fifty. In the early part OF
his career he was utterly reckless Of
danger while on the battlefield, and this
ly to the love and esteem in which he
was held by his armies. There was
curious belief among the English in Ma
poleon's time that he had never been
wounded, and indeed the report was
current that he carefully if not in a
cowardly manner refrained from ex-
posing himself. Nothing could be more
contrary to the truth, for he was in re-
atty several times severely wounded,
but as he wished to impress upon his
troops the belief that good fortune new
er deserted him and that, like Achilles,
he was well nigh invulnerable, he al
ways made a secret of his many dan
gers. He therefore enjoined once for
all upon the part of his immediate STAFF
the most absolute silence regarding all
circumstances Of this nature, for it is
almost impossible to calculate the con-
fusion and disorder which would have
resulted from the slightest report or the
smallest doubt relative to his existence
Upon the single thread of this mans
life depended not only the fate and gov
eminent of a great empire. but the
whole policy and destiny Of Europe as

Sign Manual of the Child That Does
Not Change In Life.
There is born with every one of us
and continues unchanged during our
lives an unfailing and ineradicab BILE
mark or marks, which absolutely dis
tinguish each one of us from every 9TH
err fellow being These physical marks
never change from the cradle to the
grave. Tht born autograph is impos-
sible to counterfeit, and there is no du-
plicate of it among the teeming pillows
in the world. Look at the insides of
your hands and the soles of your feet;
closely examine the ends of your fin
gers. You see circles and curves and
arches and whorls, some prominent with
deep corrugations, others minute and
delicate, but all a well defined and
closely traced pattern. There is your
physiological signature.
Run your hands through your hair
and press finger tips on piece of clear
glass. You see all the delicate tracing
transferred-not two fingers alike. Even

different. Even twins may be SO little
different in size, features and general
physical condition as to be scarcely dis
tinguishable, yet their finger auto
graphs are radically different.
In fact, in all humanity every being
carries with him on his baby fingers
and his wrinkled hand Of decrepit old
age the identical curves, arches and
circles that were born with him. Moth
ing except dismemberment can oblit-
crate or disguise them. Criminals may
burn and scar their hands, but nature,
when she restores the cuticle: invaria-
bly, brings back the natal autograph.

RECKLESS AARON BURR.
Tho Dramatic Story of His Marriage
In Old Age.

In Old Age.
The story of Aaron Burr's marriage
in his old age to the widow of Stephen
Jumel. who was well known in the
early history of New York city, Is q
dramatic one.
Conceive, If you will, the picture of
Burr, gifted adventurer that he was,
broken in health, branded in the popu-
lar mind as the murderer of Alexander
Hamilton and returning from a long
exile to find himself an outcast in the
city where he had once been the polit-
ical monarch of all he surveyed and q
distinguished figure in society and at
the bar Conceive, if you can. this
lamenta BILE old man, Sinking through
his wrinkles, bowling and prancing
rather stiffiy because of his rheumatic
joints and with his mouth full of pref
ty platitudes, paying court to the wild
ow of Stephen Jumel, herself in the
prime of years and health. Remove
from the picture its surface incongrui-
ties, and you have a bit of pure pathos
unequaled in the annals of foolish great
men.
But something of his old time DOW
er to charm the gentler sex must have
stood by him in his years of mental
and physical misery, for in his suit for
the widow Jumel's hand and fortune
he won gloriously, dramatically. Re-
bufftd repeatedly, Burr finally de-
clared in passionate rage that on a
given day he would arrive at the Jumel
mansion Il panied by a clergyman.
who should marry them on the spot
He would give his prospective bride no
quarter, no chance of escape from the
inevitable.
She was amused at the threat and
dismissed the old man with more than
her usual GOODNESS of demeanor Burr
stuck to his avowal and one July day
rolled up in a carriage, and with him
was minister, the same who fifty years
before performed the marriage cere-
mony for Burr and the mother of his
daughter, the beautiful Theodosia.
There was something of scene In the
old house on this day. There were
tears of anger on the part OF Burr.
Relatives demonstrated; Burr remained
immovable. All feared a scandal. Tho
minister, book in hand. stood unob-
trusiyely in the background. There
were more tears, more declarations OF
undying love, and the widow Jumel
became Mrs. Aaron Burr
They were married in the great
drawing room of the Jumel mansion.
Burr squandered with reckless hand
the wealth acquired by Stephen Jumel
and left for the enjoyment Of his
marital partner. There were many bit
for hofr he %o1
and they were soon divorced. Burr
died in 1886, but madam lived until
1866, dying a recluse and a miser, the
money received from the Jumel estate
boarded in an unused chamber.

and is about ready to begin business.
This Belt railroad is unique. The en-

Mississippi river belongs, with the ex-
ception of several special landing
places, to the municipality itself. In
order to enable the railroad cars to
reach the wharves and to lie along
side the ships for the transfer and ex.
change of cargoes the city of New
Orleans, owning the river banks, has
built along the river front railroad
whose tracks connect with those Of

way it is a simple affair to receive
cars from all the trunk lines and tc

PLANT TRAMP BY INSTINCT,
California Cactus Blows Around Tho
Desert for Months.

Curious among vegetable growths
and one which is seldom seen of men
Is the rootless cactus of the California
desert, says the Technical World.
This plant, round, compact growth,
rolls about the level floor of the des-
ert for some eight or nine months of
the year, tossed hither and yon by
the winds which blow with fierceness
over all of California's sand plat dur.
ing those months.
At the coming of the rains, or
rather the cloudbursts, which sweep
the desert in it's springtime, this cac-
tus takes root wherever it happens to
have been dropped by the last wind
OF which it was the plaything and i'm
mediately begins to put out all around
1t small shoots, which in turn become
cacti, exactly like the parent plant.
These young growths increase in
size rapidly, sucking the moisture
both from the parent plant and from
the surrounding earth. The roots do
not penetrate the soil deeply, but
spread often over a circle whose
radius is not less than ten feet. These
roots, too, are small, but practically
innumerable, and they get every bit
of moisture and plant food to be had
In the territory they cover.

Washington, Sept. 19.-After having
drawn the attention of the world to

machines, Orville Wright met with a
tragical mishap while making two.

night there was much anxiety over
the injured aviator's condition, but as

announced that Wright was doing very

While the machine was encircling

snapped off and hitting some other

"a tailor-came to Corot and said he
could not pay his rent.

Corot. II cannot intercede for you
with my sister, because l am not on

ever" he added, here is the money
to pay the rent, only don't let anyone
know have given it to YOU"
The tailor after this used to return
periodically when his rent was due and
obtain the money from Corot, who re-
marked on one occasion, II appear to
be very generous, but 1 am not, be-
cause get half of it back from my
sister as my. share of the rent"
