that he had quite forgotten that his
young son was sitting behind him. At
length the telephone rang, and Mr. s.
was told that there was q long dis

a number of times. and just when his
patience had about given out central
rang vigorously while the receiver was
still at his ear. At this Mr.. S. uttered
a terrible and forbidden word.
The words were no sooner out Of his
mouth than he remembered that his
son was but few feet from him.
Wheeling about in his chair. he said
with humility:

STONE AGE CUSTOMS.
Ancient Habits Still Endure Among
Natives of Rural Roun ania.

NATIVES OF Hurat Houmania.
Customs and habits directly trace
able back to the end of the stone age
are still observed by the inhabitants
of the remoter parts of rural Rouma-
MIA, says DR.. Emil Fischer of Bucha-
rest in the Umschau. The latest sta
tistics show that there are still in Rou-
mania over $4,000 cave dwellings in
existence. in which Il quarter of mil
lion peasant folk live. These caves
are almost as primitive in their ar
rangements as the original cave dwell
ings OF the stone age.
AS recently as in the eighties millet,
the oldest lndO-Germanic grain, was
still crushed in Roumania by means
Of hand mills and stored in peculiarly
shaped granaries similar to those used
by the natives Of central Africa. To-
day the Roumanian peasants still use
ancient plowS. At funerals a repast
named cOliba is partaken of consist
ing of soaked and boiled corn the ex-
act way corn was first prepared and
eaten by the tribes of Europe.
Even today crabapples and wild
pears are the only fruit known to the
Roumanian peasant. and his vegeta-
bles are wild herbs boiled with oil
pressed from sunlower. hemp and
gourd seeds. Medical men In rural
Roumania are still known among the
peasantry as wizards.

ments, blood impurities and othe,
irregularities exist, good complex

David Soskice writes In McClure's
Magazine of the horrors of the Schlues-
selburg, Russla's political prison.
"Grachevsky, unable to stand his life
any longer" says he, struck a guard
in order to be executed. But the COM
mandant of the fortress declared him
to be insane and therefore exempt
from punishment

kenstein. a terrible. inhuman shrek
was heard. Footsteps hurried toward
Grachevsky's cell. Feeble groans fol-
lowed. and then his door was quickly
opened, and 1t was evident that some
thing terrible had happened to him.
Smoke and the smell of burnt clothing
and flesh pervaded the building and
hung about 1t till the flowing day.
We then knew that Grachevsky had
burnt himself alive. He had soaked
his clothes and bedding with the oil
from the little night lamp and, rolling
himself up In his blanket, had set 1t
on fire. For several days beforehand
he had disarmed the suspicious of bis

havior. 80 that they had relaxed their

The golden age of the pun in Britain
was the reign Of King James L., the
"Stuart Solomon" That learned sov-
ereign was himself a passable punster
and made few privy councillors or bish-
ops who were not reputed to be good
at quip. 1t was therefore IN his day
that the pun appeared with pomp and
dignity. 1t had been before admitted
into merry speeches and iudicrous
compositions. but was now delivered

district, from Wisconsin at profit, DR..
p. o. schallcrt and his brother-in-law,
a. Birschel, were in this city yester-
day AS result OF their visit they
will probably buy dairy farms and re-
move to this State.
Although virginias folly In sendins
out of the State so per cent. Of tho
money she spends for dairy products
instead Of producing them at home,
has been frequently commented upon,
an instance such as that presented by
the Wisconsin visitors is especially
impressive.
Mr.. Birschel is a shipping clerk with
one of three concerns which deal In
butter at johnson Creek. Wis. These
three dealers ship from the little town
of 500 people, not less than 100000
pounds of butter annually. a good
deal of this comes to Richmond Nor
folk and Washington. Land In the vi
cinity is worth from SIPS to $3.50 an
acre, and the dairymen make money
from the farms which average from
40 to so acres each.
Virginia Easy Mark.
Or. Schallert and Mr.. Birschc1 could
not see why Virginia was so dead
easy as to send money to Wisconsin for
butter. They do not yet understand.
and so expressed themselves yester-
day willie calling on Commissioner OF
| Agriculture Koiner.
| They find lands much cheaper in
| this State, while fully capable OF i'm
provement to the standard of those in
the West The longer season for
! grazing of dairy herds would help
the dairymen, the cost of transporta-
ton could be saved and the same
prices secured as are now paid to the
wide-awake dealers of Wisconsin.
The visitors have found this an ideal
! dairy section. They know that nothing
improves land SO rapidly as dairy
herd. They know that ton of but
| ter only takes so cents worth of fer
| tility from the soil. while ton OF
wheat will remove from 81 to s.
worth.
The westerners did not fail to GRASP
| the moral. They will start butter fac
| tories in Virginia.
