thing went off nicely. All kinds OF
amusements were on the ground and
the crowd seemed to be happy and
enjoyable one. The celebration in
every particular was a success and

Cost of Mine Timbers,

: The cost of every ton of anthracite
is increased eight cents by the ex-
pense of the mine ,timbers. To sup
ply these timbers, says the Vegeta-
rian Magazine, requires each year
the product of approximately 10000
acres of forest
Timber is used for cross ties for
tram roads in the main haulage ways,
as wooden rollers and as props. A set
of gangway timber consists of two
legs, commonly nine or ten feet long
and about Ii inches in diameter, and
collar six or seven feet long. These
sets are placed on an average at in
tervals of five feet; one gangway fire.
quently contains 1000 sets, and ten
gangways to colliery is not an un-
usual number.
The average life of the timber is
hardly above two years. Forty-five
per cent of the timbers are destroyed
by decay, while breakage, wear and
insects destroy the remainder. By
peeling the timbers and properly sea-
soning them and especially by giving
them treatment in oils or chemical
salts, their length of service is materi-
ally increased.

Women Defied Church Rule.

Six splendidly clad young women,
not the least of their grandeur being
represented by the latest examples of
millinery art, swept into the First
Presbyterian church one night and
seated themselves in the most advan-
tageous seats of this the most select
house Of worship in the city, says the
Seattle Times. The six did not re-
semble conspirators bent on revolu-
tionary and rebellious tactics, but they
were and they won their point.
Ladies will please remove their
hats" commanded Rev. Dr. Matthews,
when his calm glance over his congre-
cation revealed the fact that one of
the standing rules of the church was
being violated right under the minis
terial nose.
There was no responsive action on
the part of the six. The request was
repeated in still firmer tone, but the
rebels sat firm, and after a pause of
minutes duration the divine began his
sermon while the six sat straight with
their plumes Haunting pean of vic
tory.

MADE INTO STABLE
HUMBLE PURPOSE SERVED BY
MAUSOLEUM OF TYRANT.
Curious Memorial of the Ruin SoIano
Lopez Brought on Paraguay
Country Being Brought Back
Slowly to Prosperity.

A curious memorial of the tyrant
Solano Lopez, who wasted and depopu-
lated Paraguay between 1852 and 1870,
stands in the city of Asuncion, the
capital of the republic. 1t is the large
and imposing mausoleum that he built
for the ultimate housing of his body.
But it was never used for that pur-
pose. When Lopez was overtaken and
killed as he was fleeing his enemies
did not care to give him a decent
burial
DR.. Vallentin, the German geograph-
er, who has just written a book on
Paraguay, says that it puzzled the peo-
pie to decide what to do with the
mausoleum. 1t was finally turned into
a stable and is still serving that
humble but useful purpose.
Grass is growing upon the lofty
cupola and weeds protrude from every
crevice in the walls. 1t is a monu-
ment to the ruin Lopez brought upon
his country and himself.
Lopez has often been called the
Nero of the nineteenth century, but
some historians say that he was worse
than Nero. DR.. Baez, the historian
of Paraguay, says that the tyranny Of
Lopez was the most barbarous that
history records. The only excuse
ever made for him is that he was in
sane
He was president of Paraguay and
intended to make himself king. He
provoked and waged a five years var
with the united countries of Brazil,
Argentina and Uruguay. He had a
crown made in Paris to be ready for
the coronation just as soon as he could
declare himself king of more than
half of South America His idea was
to build up a great kingdom, not by
developing its resources, but by found
ins a military despotisn.
He became a despot wholly unre-
strained by law All his countrymen
who opposed him were shot or i'm
prisoned. He had his own mother
and one of his sisters publicly fiogged
in the street. Another sister was kept
prisoner in chains.
Every boy and man who could carry
gun was impressed into the army,
and as the end drew near he COM
PEELED many hundreds of women to
fight in the ranks The whole coun-
try was in ruins when a bullet ended
his life. In 1851 Paraguay had a pop
ulation of over 100000. There were
only about 100000 human beings in
the country in 1872. The land was
nothing but waste.
1t had been completely stripped of
cattle, horses, sheep and goats, not a
plantation was in cultivation, and
there was no money to buy seed, for
Lopez, and the woman Lynch, whom
he had brought with him from Paris
the year before he became president,
had shipped all the remaining gold
and silver to England for a rainy day.
Paraguay has recovered slowly from
this experience. She now has a pop
u,ation of 100000, immigrants are
coming in growing numbers, and agri-
culture and commerce are advancing
every year. -..-

LESSON COST HIM JUST s12o.
Tale of Farmer Who Lost His Head
During Financial Furry.

Illustrative of the wrinkles and
kinks developed during the financial
furry story is told by a central
Iowa banker who was carrying time
deposit of $4,000 for a farmer who
took alarm and demanded the money,
although his deposit certificate did
not require payment until January 1
next Persuasion and argument prov
ing futile, the banker decided to ap-
pease his irate customer by paying
his subject, of course, to forfeiture
OF the interest, amounting to $50. As
salve to his injured feelings he
handed out the money in metal, an
t1cipating that when the depositor
saw its bulk he would relent. But
the depositor was determined, and
shoulderfng the bag of coin strobe
across the street to the post Office
and made peremptory call for $4,000
in money orders. I'll trust Uncle
Sam, and nobody else" he declared.
He received his orders in due time,
pocketful of them, paying $40 for
privilege of making the post Office
his custodian of funds. His total cost
to protect himself, as he imagined,
was s120.
We'll, 1 can go home now and
breathe easy" he remarked, compla-
Gently, as he tucked the orders
away
Yes, you've got a good debtor"
assented the postmaster, "but will
you do me a favor?"
"Surei''
We'll, I've got rheumatism in my
back and I've got to get that bag of
money over to the bank to deposit it.
Just tote it over and I'll be yours
truly"
The treasured capitalist complied,
but his subsequent conversation was
so sulphurous in an earnest effort to
express his chagrin to see that the
money went back to the bank from
which he had drawn it that the town
marshal experienced the necessity of
taking him in handS-Los Angeles

Ancient ireland.

For long time all christendom
looked upon Ireland as the favored
home of learning. There the arts were
practiced-music, architecture and the
working of the metals. There the lam
guages of Greece and Rome were
studied long before they were in the
rest of Europe. One of the Oldest
manuscripts of Horace in existence is
written in Celtic, with commentaries
the great historian, Montelembert,
that of all nations the Anglo-Saxons
derived most profit from Irish schools,
and that Alfred the Great received his

WHY HE WAS ANGRY
HAPPENING THAT SPOILED MR..
JONES' ENJOYMENT.
Wifey's Little Mistake in Poker Game
Enriched Visitor, But Host Said
Nothing, at Least Not
Just Then.

The Joneses, Mr.. and Mrs, went
over to spend the evening with the
Colts the other evening, because peo-
pie get tired of staying at home all the
time and just listening to each others
palaver.
By and by Mr.. Goitt suggested that
they all draw up around Mrs. Colts
little sewing table and have a nice
friendly game of poker for an hour
or so.
Everybody wanted to show that he
or she was a sure enough sport, all
rightski-and then one always has an
idea at the beginning of a poker game
that just as like as not he can make
the evening profitable as well as mere
ly pleasant.
Mrs. Goitt and Mrs. Jones were
about even in their working knowl-
edge of the great national game, and
the men folks therefore backed them
up cheerfully, assuming that they
would break about even.
After a half hour or so of play the
visitors took the lead, as the sport
AdS Oo1Ioi A1l6AI Say. 1t was Ouly q
penny ante, five-cent limit game, but
then people have been known to clean
up first-rate little bunch of pin
money in even such juvenile game
as that, and Jones already had his
chips stacked up into four cute little
cylinders in front of him. Mrs. Jones
would reach over and borrow ten
chips or so now and again, and
momentary frown would fit over her
husbands brow, but he didn't say any,
thing.
By and by Jones took notice of the
fact that Mrs. Jones was reaching
over into his sub-treasury vaults and
picking up chips half stack at time
and putting them into the pot as fast
as she could meet Mr.. Colts bets and
raise him back again
Mr.. Jones looked at her when he
saw his hoard of chips disappearing, in
way that inquired plainly: "Are you
sure you've got it on him?"
Got a straight" whispered Mrs.
Jones when she found opportunity to
whisper without being observed, and
Jones gave her look that said, GO
as far as you like" for straights had
been pretty good that evening, and
the pot, after the way it had been
sweetened, looked worth while.
Finally Mr.. Goitt called her. Cali
I've got is three ladies'" he said in a
tone of polite inquiry, laying down his
hand.
well, 1 have straight" gurgled
Mrs. Jones. "See-queen, king, ace,
deuce, tray!"
Mr.. Jones gave her a look that told
her something was amiss before any
body had time to say word
why, the ace comes after the king,
doesn't it," she inquired. "And
doesn't the two-spot come after the
! ace, and the three-spot after the two
spot? I'd just like to know why that
isn't a straight"
Mr.. Jones watched Mr.. Goitt rake in
the pot and didn't say anything-not
just then.
