MiShtier Than the HimaIavas.

IN describing his latest journey in
Tibet, ended during the present year.
DIR. Sven Hedin says that the greatest
result achieved is the discovery Of a
continuous mountain chain 1000 miles
long, stretching east and west, and
which, taken as a wholt, is the most
massive range on the crust of the
earth. It's average height above sea-
level is greater than that of the
Himalayas, and although it's peaks
are from 1000 to 5000 feet lower than
Mount Eeverest, it's passes average
5000 feet higher than those of the
Himalayas. The eastern and western
parts of this range were known be-
fore, but the central and highest part
IN Bonga, was unexplored previous to
Doctor Hedin's visit. He crossed ten
passes in the range

bands.

Is it possible that witches still ex-
1st and find credulous victims to cozen
and fleece? 1t is true that the voodoo
woman may be found in the South,
and the medicine man is not yet ex-
tinct among the Indian tribes, yet
they are believed to be survivals only
possible among the uncivilized of the
negro and Indian people. Yet the real
witch with the caldron in which she
breWs her magic philters, with her
spells and curses, are things so wholly
OF the past that it is shock to read
OF a sorceress having been arrested
in fair Perugia. Perhaps the account
is the invention of a newspaper re-
porter bound to produce a sensation
for the benefit of his journal How
ever that may be, the story is a good
one.
1t sets forth, with a due care for
details, the maze of alleys in a suburb
OF the city, where a house whose doors
are closed to all but women who seek
powerful love potions to bring back
the affections of lost lovers or fatal
drafts that shall properly serve faith
less husbands, shelters a famous sor-
ceress.
Rumore having got about concern
ing the unholy rites and ceremonies
practiced in that house, the police,
SO the story goes, gain admittance
through a pretext, seize the witch and
search the premises, and find it's walls
hung with mysterious symbols, hui
man skulls and bones, heads of vari-
ous animals, strange weapons, MANY
books OF evil import, full of incanta-
tions and spells and other aids such as
witches are supposed to use. The
woman, who was old and supposed to
be fabulously wealthy, was Seized and
all her paraphernalia collected and
conveyer away for trial, and all Peru
gla, and presumably Italy, is supposed
to be in state Of suspense until the
worst is known.
Supposing this tale true, what would
be an adequate punishment. for
witch? In the good old times, so much
lamented, there would have been but
one end possible. The witch would
nave been burned at the stake. But
in 1909 term of Imprisonment is
PROBABLY the worst that could happen:
and that would be a fiat ending to the
story. But the days of what.is called
romance are over.

Bruin Too Fond Of Crou

A new version of eating crow" has
been furnished in Center county, Penn
sylvania. One evening recently a.
farmer of Curtin township set a bear
trap near his home, batting it with a.
piece of meat, as is customary. After
the trap had been set crow, tempted
by the meat, was caught ,and that
night bear happened that way and
ate the crow and the bait. The farm
er set the trap again next evening,
and on the following morning the bear
was in the trap, having come back
during the night for another meal of
crow

the ''cochers'' of Paris, whose honesty
he has vindicated. Having found a
bundle of securities, worth some G16,-

Maryland family of pure Anglo-Saxon stock-the family Brooke. They are of gentle blood, and in the old world they were the loyal subjects and intimate asso- ciates of kings. They had coat of arms. and doubtless some ancestor of the family had done a gallant devoir at Hastings. The family estate was in Hampshire. Robert Brooke, born in 1530. married Eliz- abeth Twyner of County Rants, and their son. Thomas Brooke, married Susan Eos ter of Durham. Her father was famous lawyer in the reign of James I.
 During the civil wars the Brookes were cavaliers and loyal to the King. who was sometime the guest of Thomas Brooke, whom his majesty knighted for his loyal ty and valor. Robert Brooke. the third son of Sir Thomas. was fellow of Wad- ham college, Oxford, whence he was grad uated with the degree of master of arts He married Mary Baker of Sussex and by her he was the father of four children, two sons and two daughters. After the death of his first wife, Robert Brooke married Mary Mainwaring, daughter of the dean of Worcester, and later bishop of St. Davids, by whom eleven children were born to him, seven of whom were sons

 "Curfew tolls the xnel1 of parting day." but another hour must have been curfew- time In Italy. In Romeo and Juliet, Cap ulet enters and says, "Stir. stir, stir; the second cock hath crowed, the curfew bell hath rung; 'tis o'clock'-that is. in the morning.
 As the centuries progressed. the world found various uses to which to put the bell, from the door bell. essential in our present social order, to the alarm bells that clang out of the news of a city's dan ger from fire or from an enemy. One of the most melancholy sounds that l ever heard, is the lonely booming of the buoy bell in the darkness of the night and in the wildness of storm. It rests not day nor night, but seems perpetually tortured by invisible demons of the deep. Charles Tennyson Turner says of it: Flow like leper, with its own sad cry, Enforcing his own solitude, it tolls."
 But the strangest use to which a bell was ever applied is that of which we read in Les Miserables Jean Valjean had scaled the convent wall with little

"Ah. bless me- There's nothing here but women and plenty of young girls. It seems that I am dangerous to meet. The bell warns them; when I come, they go."
 CHURCH BELLS.
 By we'll nigh all nations bells are asso- ciated with some phase of religion. They are used in the worship of India, China, and in every land have they been conse- crated to this lofty use, either in calling worshippers together or in forms of wor- ship when the people have assembled. The Koran teaches that golden bells hang upon the branches of the trees of Para disc, and are set in motion by soft breezes laden with divine fragrance from the throne of God, as often as the blessed wish for music.

This Brooke blood ramifies and Admiral Schley, the hero of the Spanish war in a class with Dewey. is a Brooke in blood.
 And that blood is everywhere, in all the states especially in the southern states. Most of it was with Lee; much of 1t was with Grant It helped to make the glory Stonewall Jackson laid a trib- ute on the altar of Mars. It was with Sheridan in his devastations. It rode with Forrest and fought with that mignt1est paladdin in the biggest war in the world's 8 history 1t raided with Morgan in the darlngest enterprise of even that war. 1t was with Sherman in that march to the sea- that shall not suffer myself to characterize now-later on.

The question will be asked, why 500 men-ordinary men-chosen ac- cidentally from among tho unemployed should override the judgment, the de- liberate judgment, of millions of people who are engaged in the industry which makes the wealth of the country? That is one question Another will be: Who ordained that a few should have the land of Great Britain as peruuisite?

journey the merrier and to locate the whereabouts of 8 straying camel.
 From the small tinkling bell came the suggestion of larger bells, such as were found in the excavations at Nineveh.
 In Ekypt the feast of Osiris was an- nounced by the ringing of bells, and among the Greeks the midnight army in spector carried small bell. In some eastern countries bells were hung around the neck of a criminal as he walked to his execution. I suppose this was done. as in the case of the camel drivers, Ito make the journey merrier." As early as the year 1s0 A. D. bells were used to strike the hours. This may re- mind the reason of one of Shakespeares s anachronisms. In his tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra he makes Antony say: "Once more let's mock the midnight bell" Antony had been dead more than 200 years before there was a midnight bell"
 Bishop Pauinus of Campania was about the first to employ the bell for church purposes

 These are words that will burn like liquid fire into mems souls.
 There was time in Englands history when her lords and barons were men conspicuous for their deeds of bravery and chfvalry. When lords and barons, mounted and mail-clad rode forth to do battle for England's glory or assembled on the plain of Runnymede to demand Magma Charter from John then these lords and barons were an institution to be proud of but, not only in France but also in England the day of chivalry and bravery is passed and greed and selfish ness prevails. Great landowners, having their origin in royal illegitimacy; bloated brewers in whose veins beer. not blue blood, course; party time-servers and ambitious plutuorats constitute the rank and file of that once honored class of aristocracy. No incubus ever oppressed the slumbers of weary traveller half so heavily as has this irresponsible body weighed upon progressive liberal legisla- ton. Their day of reckoning has come: they have invited the thunderbot. It will strike them and scatter them. We'll may one nation rejoice at seeing its her editary enemy in such straits. Well may Ireland rejoice and hope for deliver ance. The bastile of Irish liberty is be- ing asasiled and it's fate is as inevitable as that of it's predecessor.
