A Bird Four Feet High.

The emperor" penguin, one OF
the discoveries of Captain Scotts re-
cent Antarctic expedition. was the
subject OF an interesting illustrated
lecture by DR.. Wilson before the re-
cent archaeological congress In Lon
don. The bird stands about four
feet high, weighs eighty pounds or
more, and with its black coat and
erect posture has, when seen at a
distance, truly startling fesem-
blance to a dwarf man.
These "emperors" OF the penguin
world live upon the great girdle of
pack ice which surrounds the Ant
arctic continent, and seem to de-
pend mainly for their food on crus-
taceans caught in the crevices OF the
ice. The female lays solitary egg.
which Is caught on the great web
feet, so that 1t never touches the Ice,
and is held there covered with the
mothers body until Matching oc-

A Mad Anthony Button.

A handsome button, evidently
from the coat of one Of the merry
officers who served under Mad An
thony Wayne In his campaign
against the Indians of the Northwest
territory OF 1894, was recently
picked up from the site OF his camp,
eighteen miles from Pittsburg on the
north bank of the Ohio River. The
button is solid silver. and when 1t
was found by Attorney j. X. Nc
Creight, of Pittsburg, and the Rev.
r. b. Carrel, of Baden. was covered
with the dirt of more than u century.
When General Wayne was sent to
punish the Indians for the defeat OF
General st. Clair he established a
camp at what was known as Legion
VILE, where the button was found.
Here for almost two years he drilled
his men and, when he met the In
dians, his victory was complete.

When the Lion CAGE broke.

While menagerie was being carried
from st. Etienne to Roanne, In France
a lion escaped from his cage, which
had been broken accidentally, and
bounded to the platform at Vandrang-
es, He was hurt, but rushed down the
line, upsetting the station master as
he went. disappearing In the darkness.
With four armed guards aboard, a To-
comotlve was sent In chase. Before
his pursuers got near him the lion had
travelled three miles, and had come
to the cottage OF signalman.
in the house the signalman lay
asleep. His wife had gone out to
look at the signals. She heard a deep
growl and saw the animals eyes fash

On one of the old turnpikes yet

LATEST MEN IN THE WORLD.
Stories Told of a Hill Tribe I'm India
Women Who Build Huts.

Stories Told OF Hill Tribe I'm lndfa
Women Who Build Huts.
In these days OF push and energy
II sounds strange to talk OF people as
being lazy, and still the Todas, a hill
tribe OF India, are the LATEST people
In the world.
The Todas are not ashamed of
their reputation and are free to con-
fess that they know OF nothing SO
foolish and stupid as work. Their
one and only pursuit Is the raising
Of buffaloes: they are far too indo-
lent to follow the chase. An ak is
their only weapon. although they
know how to make others. They use
this for waging war and for Telling
trees. They will not till the land,
considering this unnecessary labor.
To make housekeeping easier, all
their natural products are held in
common; the idea of property is only
restricted to the hut, its contents
and live stock.
The buffaloes, which they own In
large quantity furnish them with
skins for clothing and the hut, and
the meat is used as food But milk is
their principal diet. They do not
even relish the idea of milking their
cattle; the head mixers are the only
ones that are to be persuaded to do
this labor. These men are chosen
from the class of "peiki" or sons
of God" They are the priests and
practice celibacy. Although the
priests tend to the cattle. each house
holder owns his cattle.
Much as these men dislike the car
ing for their cattle they find farming
less dignified calling. Some years
ago. they went to war with their
neighbors, the Badaga and Kotas, as
they might be able to levy n tax of
one eighth OF their grain products.
When their grain grows scarce they
live on roots and berries. They will
sell their land or give It away, but
they will not cultivate II at any price.
Strangely, their appearance does
not disclose this most marked char
acteristic. They are tall and well
proportioned. They look like Ro-
man Senators. as they walk. wrapped
in skins resembling the ancient toga.
Their appearance IL not only prepos-
sessing, but bold and self-reliant.
Many an amusing story is told OF
this small hill tribe, numbering
about 400 men. An American mis-
sionary was working among them
when one day he saw some women
and boys building hut of bamboo
He inquired why the men were not
performing this labor, and one wo'
man explained: Husband mine
don't work; me and boys build
house.
The missionary made no further
comment, but when the hut was
built he told the husband that he
must build another hut, as he coulc
not live In home made by womer
and children. But the surprised Todi
answered: mo. no, me no work
man has boys and wife to work"
The Toda meant what he said
| Although the missionary argued. anC
finally horsewhipped the native. h,
could not get him to build hut

WORK or THE GUANGo TREE

While these trees do not provide

AS the result OF a decision handed
down by the supreme court Wednes-

the age OF almost 70 years. divorced
from his wife, estranged from his fam
lily, and turned out Of his home almost
penniless.
Until three years ago, Wipfier, who
Is a veteran OF the civil war and
member OF the G.. A. r.. was a pros
porous business man, and proprietor
Of the Detroit Pattern works. Several
years ago he organized a company,
with his wife and sons as sharehold-
ers, and the business was success.
About that time Wipfier decided 10 at
tend the national encampment OF the
G.. A. r., and fearing that something
might happen, he had deeds TO his
real estate made out. which he left
with his wife with instructions to
have them recorded in case he should
meet with an accident while absent.
Shortly after his return he learned
that his wife had the deeds recorded
in his absence, and that the other
members OF the family had frozen
him out OF the pattern business. He
