Lake Chad.

On the map Lake Chad makes
very fine appearance, and is, to look
at, very imposing piece of water 1t
Is also the central point at which
meet the lines of demarcation be-
tween the English, French and Ger
man spheres of influence in that part
of the world. 1t is even now not
thoroughly explored and not so well
known as the great lakes in Eastern
Africa. But the trouble about it Is
that it is drying up, and will shortly
disappear Last night at the Royal
Geographical society Capt. Tilho, VINO
has Just returned with the French
mission from Lake Chad, gave lee
ture on the work that had been done.
Lake Chad is vast closed depression
Of sight depth, and is entirely In
dependent of the great rivers which
flow into the Mediterranean and the
Atlantic. 1t Is the shallowest lake
IN the world, its average depth being
only five feet. 1t is, in fact, sort
of gigantic dewpond, and its losses
are due to evaporation and infiltra
ton. When the mission arrived q
the lake last year, they found that
the northern part, over which they
had navigated in 1904, had been dried
up and that the central part was a
swamp which no boat could pass.
But i'm spite Of this Capt. Tilho does
not believe that the lake Will dis
Iappear altogether, but that 1t Will
never be useful for navigation. In
the meantime what is needed is the
effective occupation of the whole dis
trict, in order to stop the slave trade.

Our New TYpe of Jews.

4 rich and respected Jewish tinan-
crr of New York is quoted as having
said not long ago: when | came to
New York from Europe, years ago,
came for purposes of business, and l
have pursued them, not without re-
suits. But these Jews that have been
coming in in such numbers lately are
of another type, more concerned with
things Of the mind. ana less with prof
it, Many of them are thinkers and
idralists. They are not the sort OF
Jews the Americans are used tn and
will not develop on the sam" lines.
The ScnSc of these remarks is worth

members are brought in, the first
lesson impressed upon them is that
while it is possible to fool a woman
If we will all stick together. it can
be done eve Il and 1t is ever so
much better If we don't do anything
to make it necessary to try 1t. An
other lesson impressed upon the young
members is that If they will stay at
home of nights and behave themselves
they may not have quite so much fun,
but they will feel a whole lot better
the next morning and they won't be
afraid to go uptown. 1t Is a very
beautiful lesson. You just ought TO
hear Frank Lander giving the lee
ture. He Is fine on it.
One of the notices of the Knights
Of Pythias Is that those who make
hay should live in glass houses. An
other is that an honest man never gets
fat. 1t has been said by envious and
malicious people-those who Rave
been blackballed, perhaps-that an
other of the notices is that the Lord
admireth a cheerful liar, but that Is
a mistake. There is no such motto
in our noble order.
We have told you all this, children,
so you will understand why it is that
papa has to go uptown tonight. You
see, all the knights of Pythias in An
derSOn county are coming to the city
tonight to be the guests of Chiquola
Lodge at a banquet in Maple hall
There are six or eight lodges in the
county, and every member is coming,
or most of them, so there will be Il
big crowd. 1t is great honor for
Chiquola Lodge to be able to enter
tain all her brethren. and we are go
ing to spread ourselves. 1t is going
to be a scrumptious affair. There will
be eatables and drinkables and smoke
bles from who laid the rail, and
speech making to beat the band.
There will be speeches by such men
as George Rembert and Elbert Aull
and Paul Sullivan and other big
noises, and your papa may have to
make a speech himself. You see,
when a man belongs to a lodge he has
certain duties which cannot be
shirked.
OF course, this banquet is putting
lot of hard work on some of US.
but we don't mind it, for there is moth
ing nobler i'm all this world than to
make other people happy. Remem-
ber that. children.
Now, children, it may be 2 or 3
o'clock before your papa gets home.
He will be all tuckered out and will
want to sleep late in the morning.
Please don't make any fuss when you
get up.
And now, children. good-night
Pleasant dreams!

LAWYERS PHONEY FEE.
Bank Cashier and Treasurer Experts
Took Ii.

Bank Cashier and Treasurer Experts
Took 1t.
| A noted lawyer of one of the south
ern states, famous not only for his
brilliant mind and legal ability, but
also for his rigid code of honesty
used to tell this story on himself, says
the New York Herald.
Soon after the civil war the judge
was called on to defend a man ac-
cused Of passing counterfeit money
| The old lawyer after investigating the
matter and satisfying himself that the
man was innocent Of any intent to do
wrong and had only paid out money
| which he had received in good faith
undertook the case. When the case
came up for trial the jury was SO i'm
pressed by Judge IS plea for his
client and his explanation of the cir
cumstances that q verdict of not guilty
was rendered without delay.
The acquitted man was very grateful
to Judge -, and after thanking MIN
profusely for getting him out of the
ugly scrape, said:
Judge, I'll never forget what you've
done for me, and some day | hope to
be able to prove my gratitude; but
the only thing can do now is to pay
your fee, and I'll pay whatever you
ask How much it is?"
We'll, / think about $1,000 will be
fair" replied the judge.
That's fair enough, sir" agreed the
client but, judge the only money I've
got is the same kind of money that l
have just been prosecuted for spend
ing. Some of that money is good and
some of it is the counterfeit that was
worked off on me, and don't know
tother from which. Now, l will pay
you $l,50O in the bills that l have got
and you do the best you can with it."
AS there seemed nothing else to do,
the judge agreed to this, and the client
paid him $1,500 in bills and left him.
The judge took the $500 to his bank
and explained the circumstances to the
cashier and asked him to take out the
bills which he as an expert pronounced
good. The cashier did so, and the
judge deposited the accepted bills to
his credit, and then taking the pack
age of doubtful money to another bank
he made the same explanation and re-
quest of the cashier, the bank re-
ceiving on deposit the money, which,
as experts, they pronounced good.
And do you know" said the judge,
after l had visited six banks l had
got rid Of all the money except five
500 bills, which all the banks had
agreed were counterfeit, and my fee
in the case instead of being the $1,000
which l originally charged the man
netted me $l,400, and I've always had
suspicion that If there had been a
few more experts in the town | would
have got rid of those last five $40
bills"
What became of the five bad twen-
ties?" some one asked the judge.
I'm not sure" replied the old law

Some ROYAL Treasures.

The little boy shah of Persia owns
pipe smoked by his father on state
occasions, which is set with diamonds,
rubies and emeralds, to the value, 1t Is
asserted, Of no less than 100000.
This pipe of the former shah is ten
times more valuable than his sword,
which is set down at the comparative
ly insignificant figure Of $4,000.
The Gaekwar of Baroda, VINO visit
ed us not long ago, Is the possessor
of what is probably the most precious
blade in existence. Its hilt and belt
are incrusted with diamonds, rubies,
sapphires and emeralds, and its value
is stated to be something like $1,000
600. There are some costly swords
in the treasure rooms Of eastern and
European potentates, notably those
belonging to the czar of Russia, the
sultan of Turkey and the king OF
Siam; but this sword Of the Gaekwar
outshines them ALL The most val
liable sword in Europe is that pre-
sented by the Egyptians to Lord Wolse
ley. The hilt is set with brilliants,
and the whole sabre is valued at
10000.
Another Indian ruler-the Maha-
raiah Of Ghened-owns the finest
broughan in the world. The ham
dies of the doors are of solid gold,
while the rest OF the carriage Is sill
yer.
The new emperor Of Morocco
came into possession Of a curious
piano manufactured to the order OF
his predecessor, which Is probably
the most costly instrument of the
kind ever made. This piano was made
in parts, each being small enough to
be carried by slave, as 1t appeared
that the former emperor firmly re-
fused to trust them to the care of his
camels, which formed the only other
available means Of transport. This
exceedingly expensive musical instru-
ment was made principally of tulip
and orris woods, inlaid with unpol-
ished jacaranda parquetry, and dec
Grated with scroll work of pure gold.
The actual sum paid for it was $2O,-

cations of Scientists.
Curari, the vegetable poison with
which the Indians of the Upper ANA
zon tip their hunting arrows, remains
mystery in it's composition after 100
years Of investigation by scientists.
The Indians will sell 1t for its weight
in silver. but will not reveal the plants
from which it is derived. Not long
ago a professor in a German univer-
sity was sent to the Amazon wilder
ness for the express purpose Of dis
covering the secret, for curari, or
urari. as 1t is otherwise called Is now
thought to be Of great value in medi-
cine. The professor lived two years
in Indian villages, and while he was
permitted to witness the boiling Of
the witches BROTH" which lasted
several days, he could not tell what
plants went into the brew. Return

on, the professor was met by another
traveller, Dewey Austin Cobb, who
had got possession Of a native blow
gun. The latter tells how he put
some Of the professors curari on
some Of the blow gun arrows, which
are like toothpicks feathered with
cotton, and tried it on a buck deer

audible above the rustling corn leaves
at the distance Of the deer. The anil
NAL gave a start as 1t felt the prick
Of the arrow on its flank and turned
partly around, shifting the air for a
scent, and looking about as II search
ing for the insect that had bitten or
stung 1t. Detecting nothing, 1t stood
still and unalarmed. At the end Of
a minute or a minute and a half, at
most, it's head dropped little, as II 1t
was sleepy.
when the hunter saw this he
arose and stepped out in plain sight.
The deer turned his head and looked
at him, and moved forward, not away
from him, a few steps and stopped.
1t showed no fear, but simply Gu
riosity. After another minute the
professor and l arose, and all three
walked quietly to within reach of 1t.
It made no movement to run away,
but watched us intently, and shifted
it's position a little. Its movements
seemed perfectly easy and natural.
Absence Of fear was the only observa-
BILE change, until at the end Of three
minutes more; then 1t lay down, not
falling, but as naturally as a COW or
sheep when ready for sleep.
I'VE all approached its side, and
the hunter laid hand on its shoulder.
It looked up at him, but showed no
resentment or fear. Even its breath
ing seemed easy and natural, which
surprised me, as I had heard that
death resulted from paralysis of the
lungs when caused by urari At the
end of ten minutes, though, 1t open

became shorter and slower. Eigh-
teen minutes after 1t was struck by
