have been made by Roland Mueller, a

oranges and plumb juices. Young
Mueller whose father is a prominent
physician OF Milwaukee. Wis, began
his fast for the purpose of regainfng
his health. He had been suffering
from stomash trouble and form OF
deafness that he believed could be
cured by abstaining from eating.
When he began his fast Mueller
weighed 14S pounds. Today he weighs
9717 pounds.
For the last two or three weeks one
Of the four physicians who have been
watching Mueller has been giving him

lieved to have given him nourishment
sufficient to sustain him beyond the
forty day period of fasting which ply
sicians say is the limit OF safety.

The FiIial Feeling

I am welded, Coleridge, to the for
tunes of my sister and my poor old
father. oh, my friend, think some
times could I recall the days that were
passed, which among them should
choose? Not those merrier days, not
the pleasant days of hope, not those
wandering with a fair haired maid,
which I have so often and so feelingly
regretted-but the days, Coleridge, of a
mothers fondness for her schoolboy.
What would l give to call her back to
earth for one day, that 1 might. on my
knees, ask her pardon for all those
little asperlties OF temper which from
time to time have given her. gentle
pain. And the day, my friend, l trust,
may come, when there will be time
enough for kind offices of love If
heavens eternal years be ours. Oh, my
friend, cultivate the filial feeling. Let
no man think himself released from the
kind charities of relationship! These
are the best foundations of every spe-
cies of benevolence.- e.-Charles Lamb.

The Ancient Mint OF California

1t seems that they had in the vicinity
of Santa Barbara the original Califor-
MIA mint. The Indians of Tulare coun-
ty generally came over once a year,
in bands of 20 or 30. male and
female, on foot, armed with bows and
arrows. They brought over panoche,
or thick sugar, made from what is
now called honey dew and from the
sweet Carisa cane, and put up into
small oblong sacks, made of grass and
swamp flags; also put nut pupes and
wild tobacco, pounded and mixed with
lime. This preparation of native to-
bacco was called pispewat, and was
used by them for chewing. These
articles were exchanged for a species
of money from the Indian mint of the
Santa Barbara rancherias, called by
them "ponga." This "ponga" money
consisted of pieces of shell. rounded,
with a hole in the middle, made from
the hardest part of the small edible,
white muscle of our beaches, which
was brought In canoes by the barbar-
ians from the island of Santa Rosa.
The worth of a rial was put on a string
which passed twice and a half around
the hand that is from the end of the
middle finger to the wrist. Eight of
these strings passed for the value of
preferred them to silver, even as late
as 1888. This traffic the padres en-
couraged, as it brought them into
peaceable connection with the tribes of
the Tulare valley.

Monkeys Memory

Jocko was o little monkey which
was sent as present from Demerara
to a gentleman living in town in
eastern Pennsylvania. He found good
home with people who gave him privi-
leges that few of his kind in captivity
ever know The playful antics or the
little creature were ever q source OF
amusement to the family, who placed
him in room at the top of the house
and were very fond of him.
When Jocko had been In the family
three years his owners made arrange
ments to go abroad. Not knowing what
to do with the money they concluded
to send him to the geological garden in
Philadelphia, where they knew ne
would be well cared for. The family
felt sorry to part with him, but they
knew it was all that could be done
Seven years rolled round before they
saw Jocko again, and then the former
owner of Jocko, being in Philadeiphia
with his wife, went to the geological
garden to see him.
When they stood before the cage
where the monkey with number OF
others was confined they peered in, try
ing to distinguish their own from
among the other little creatures
One of the monkeys reached his arm
between the bars and plucked at the
flowers on the woman's hat.
.Jocko," she called, is that you, old
fellow? Have you forgotten us?'
The monkey seemed to recognize the
voice and made frantic efforts to reach
the woman, while his old master went
in search of -the keeper, TO request
him to take Jocko out, that they might
see what he would d. and If he really
recognized his friends.
The man readily assented and no
sooner had the monkey attained his
temporary freedom than he sprang
upon his former masters shoulder and
chattered away in his native tongue.
Great tears welled up into his eyes and
rolled down his face, which proved
that he had not forgotten his friends,
and that gratitude, one of the rarest
virtues in the breast of mankind, was
not wanting in the child of the forest

Dogs Amid Snow and Ice

An arctic explorer pays the following
tribute to the dog that draws the
sledge:
Nowhere does the dog show himself
so much the friend of man as in the
regions Of ice and snow.
When the rivers are frozen and the
way is blocked to every other beast of
draft, the dog is put in harness and
goes where none but man can follow
He faces the trackless solitudes with
assurance, for none knows better than
he how to surmount their perils. His
keen instinct tells him of the coming
storm while it is yet distant. He knows
how to break through the ice for water
when thirsty, how to hunt for his food
and how to make his bed in the snow
He is full of courage and endurance,
resourceful as his cousin the fox, and
with sufficient of the wolf nature to
feel at home in the bleakest solitudes.
He is the only animal that man can
count on as a comrade in the far north

Columbus Ind, has a horse, which,
because OF his fondness for pie. has
been named "Pieface.' The animal got
the pie habit from being fed bits of pie
at intervals by his driver. who drives
bakery wagon. The habit has grown
on him to the extent that he now re-
fuses to start on his regular deliveries
until he has had his pie. and he gulps
down half pie at bite. The animal
shows a preference for mince, yet, if
necessary he Will eat any sort.

About Amber

The origin of amber was accounted
for by very imaginative theories in
ancient days. Nicias thought that the
suns heat caused the earth to perspire
and the drops which gathered formed
the substance known as amber, and the
Greeks believed that amber was the
sap from yew trees solidfied by the sun.
In the odyssey" the Phoenician trad
ers brought a gold necklace strung
with amber to the queen of Syria, and
Pliny relates how an amber collar worn
by child was an amulet against secret
poison and a charm against witchcraft;
this old custom is indirectly responsible
for the amber necklaces once in such
demand for children's wear.
The Baltic coasts are the amber pro-
ducing country, and in the reign of
Nero they We're also known on this
account, and an expedition was sent In
search of amber and brought back
$4,000 pounds of it to the emperor.
The transparent yellow amber fre-
quently shows insects. plants and
mosses imbedded in it., showing that it
was, as the ancients imagined origi-
nally a liquid substance
Amber may be described as fossil
resin, and is composed of carbon hy-
drogen, oxygen, clay, alaminia and
silica,

A Giant Pine

Whatever the age of the trees in this
country, the Prince of Wales can assert,
says the London Globe, that he has seen
one in Japan 1900 years old. A giant
pine, with its branches supported by
stout props, it is a permanent sacrifice
to Buddha. Kobo Daishi built a pagoda
in honor of Buddha IL centuries ago,
and in front of it he set his pine. as a
perpetual offering, in place of flowers.
which should in the ordinary course
daily be offered. Twelve hundred years
is a long period in which to trace the
history of a tree, but it is only half the

and he found himself stranded several

The Beautiful

Men are so inclined to content them
selves with what is commonest, the
spirit and the senses so easily grow
dead to the impression of the beauti-
full and perfect that every one should
study to nourish in his mind the fac
ulty Of feeling these things by every
method in his power. For no man can
bear to be entirely deprived Of such
enjoyments; it is only because they are
not used to taste of what is excellent
that the generality of people take de-
light in silly and insipid things pro-
vided that they be new. For this rea-
son one ought every day at least to
hear a good song, read a good poem,
see fine picture and, IL it be possible,
to speak a few reasonable Words

that she had no thmbe in her pocket,
SO could not work, as she had intended,

shop, she bought the smallest thimble
there. which was, however, many sizes
too big for her. There was an old
Scotch dame at the counter impatiently.
waiting to make her own purchases.
Not recognizing the queen, she broke
into the conversation with a "Hoots,
