HEARTY ANGEVlNS.

The Angevins are substantial eat CTS and hard drinkers. The wine of the country is stronger than further south, and, as they argue, 'bien traitre." They are also fond of 'Nap- eritifs" at odd hours, and like their liquors with their coffee. The Count de Milledeurs recently found fault with one of his friends for only hav- ing two small glasses of brandy after each Every one here drinks four"-and then talked of one of his neighbors who said that bottle of wine felt inside him very much like a mouse in a cathedral. They have, however, been perhaps unjustly ma- ligned in the saying "Angevin, sac a vin," but they certainly do drink more than most Frenchmen, who, particularly in the south, are re- markedly abstemious.- Saturday Re view.

ALTITUDE AND THE VOICE
Races Living in Loftier Countries Speak in Higher Tones, As
 Rule.

Generally speaking, races living at high attitudes have weaker and more highly pitched voices than those liv- ing in regions where the supply of oxygen is more plentiful.
 Thus, in South America, among the Indians living on the plateaus between the ranges of the Andes, at an elevation of from 10000 to 14,- 900 feet, the men have voices like women, and the women like chil- dren, their singing being a shrill monotone.
 The Australian native have a weak voice, but knack of sending 1t a long distance, and the lowest tribes of African Bushmen would come into the same category; but, it is said, of all human beings, the pygmies of central Africa have, in point of volume and compass, the weakest of human voices-Harpers Weekly.

CHAMPION HARD LUCK YARN
Tout Who Was Following Ponies Has Tough Experience With
 Stlngy Horseman.

In the days when the race tracks were doing a big business the so- called race track touts were always in evidence at every meeting and the hard luck stories these fellows could sell were never excelled by any other single class of individuals. One of the best of these stories concerns 8 tout who was following the ponies and who reached an eastern city when a race meeting was about to open. The tout was broke and, ac- costing rather stingy horseman of his acquaintance, told him of his predicament. "Why, I haven't had thing to eat in two days," said the tout. "Well," said the horseman, "step in here to this restaurant and I'll buy you something" With wis., ions of big meal the poor tout fol- lowed the stingy horseman into the restaurant. "Give this party glass of milk and a piece of custard pie" said the horseman to one of the walters. Gee" said the tout, "I thought I was going to get some meat" "Change that order from ,ustard pie to mince pie" said the horseman as he left dime on the counter and went out.

WORK OF THE ANCIENT HUNS
Stone-WaIIed Ring That Is Being Ex- cavsted at Otsenhausen In the
 Black Forest.

A Hun ring, reminding one of the Roman castra found in various parts of Great Britain, is being examined afresh at Otsenhausen in the Black Forest district. It dates from pre- Roman times, indeed is believed to be one of the earliest works of the kind.
 It lies in the hills 612 meters above the sea, and the wall inclosing it is over 1900 meters long. The wall is so built as to be completely hidden by trees, and as it is 30 me- ters broad at the top and ten feet high, the inclosure is practically hid den from view. The stones compos- ing the wall are of small size and loosely arranged, so that the difi- culty of surmounting it is increased and the chance of night surprise diminished.
 At present there are several open ings in the wall, but it is believed that originally there was only one. The site of the latter has been ex- cavated and the remains of Roman vessels unearthed. The inclosure was supplied with water from well at one end and must have afforded a refuge for large number of men and cattle.

SHOOTING RAPIDS IN JAPAN
Exciting Sport for Tourists Made Safe by Marvellous Skill of Ma
 tive Boatmen.

The rapids on the Hodzu river near Kyoto must fill even the most blase of tourists with excitement. A train from Kyoto climbs slowly and painfully upward until finally it de- posits its passengers at quaint little siding.
 From here, says the Wide World, one goes to the river bank and em- barks in a rude, fat-bottomed boat, which is pushed out by four men into the middle of a broad river, reed-edged and sleepy.
 F For a few minutes one glides dreamily along; then, rounding a curve, one suddenly hears the roar of water and the boat tears down a rapid, just missing the banks on each side. The high banks race past, death appears imminent, and then, with one mad swirl, it is all over and the boat is on the quiet unrullled stream once more.
 This happens again and again for nearly an hour. At first ones whole mind is filled with the conviction that an accident must happen, but gradually comes a delicious feeling of safety as one notes the marvellous skill these men show in piloting the boat through the seething rapids and one is able to appreciate the beauty of the scene.

CANADA NEVER HAD LYNCHING
Respect for Law InstIIIed Through Centuries of British Rule To
 the Reason.

"When a Canadian visits the United States and reads in your pa- pers of the outrageous lynchings that frequently occur in the south, it sur- prises and shocks him." said An- drew Shearer, solicitor of Montreal, at the Raleigh. "Such . thing as a lynching was never known in Can ada, though, I suppose, that occasion ally crimes are committed that arouse the people to an intense state of horror and indignation.
 "Such is the respect for the law, however. instilled in the peopls through centuries of British rule, that no one would think of raising hand against an officer of the law. l have seen crowds around a prisoner guilty of committing murder or oth- CT crime that arouses the wrath of the people, but there never is an at- tempt to iniure him. The law must take its course, and the people never interfere. It is astonishing to Cana. dians, therefore, to read of the law lessness that exists in some parts of the United States" ."-Washington Post.

eLUEBERRIEs AND CLANS.

It is a far cry from clans to blue berries, but nevertheless they are pretty closely related to each other just at present. The clam supply is not over abundant now, and all be-
 se the blueberries are ripening. There are many places down the bay where blueberries are to be secured. The men who ordinarily dig clans are picking the berries and making a good penny, so they do not give their attention to the bivalves. s.-Portland Prass.

PRESCOTT, TUESDAY 0CT.V
PROPHET OF MIDDLE AGES
Occurrences to Persons Then Un- born, Giving Their Names.

The greatest prophet of the mid- dle ages was Michael Nostradamus, who tourished in the first half of the sixteenth century. He predicted oc- currences to persons then unborn, and gave their names, and his pre- dictions were fulfilled. He predict ed the abdication of the Emperor Charles ", the death of Henri H., the murder of Henri III. He pre- dicted that Louis XIII. would have a Montmorency executed '.in an un- usual place" by an executioner named Clerepeyne. In 1632, exactly eighty years after the prophecy was printed, Montmorency was exc cuted on King Louis KILLS orders by soldier named Clerepeyne in an unusual place" (the closed court of Toulouse city hall). Neither Montmorency nor Clerepeyne was born at the time of the prediction. Nostradamus further predicted the French revolutionary attack upon the Tulleries; dealt with Louis XVII.'s abortive flight to Varennes, and gave the name of the innkeeper who arrested the king. He predict ed the defeat of Napoleon III. at Se- dan. There latter prophecies were made more than 200 and 300 years

 A rosy blush crept to the girls cheeks, and she cast her glorious eyes down at the carpet.
 "Well," she stammered, "our ac- quaintance is so short. Why should l not call you that?"
 Because, Miss Nora," answered the young man, 'the fact is, my name in not Durand, my name is Dupont"

Revenue Cutter shakeup.


Based on a report made by District
Auditor Richmond, at Zamboanga, the
following officers of the coast guard
cutter service Of the Bureau of Navi-
cation have been suspended and aye
under nominal arrest awaiting the
action of a summary court martial
Captains Tornrath, Borin, Wethrell
and Cameron and Lieutenants Peter
son and January.
Some time ago reports reached gov
eminent officials in Manila and par
ticularly those of the Bureau of Navi-
cation that these officers, serving on
coast guard cutters on southern island
runs, were knocking down." or, in
other words, were in collision with
various shippers in some of the south
ern towns, and thus enriching them
selves at the expense of the govern
ment.
Auditor Phipps turned the matter
over to District Auditor Richmond for
his investigation, and the latter found
that the charges were true, in his opin-
ion. In accordance with his findings
he sent the report to Mr.. Phipps, who
forwarded the papers to Secretary
Elliott, who in turn sent them to the
Governor General.
Yesterday, Secretary Elliott gave
orders that the accused men were to
be tried by summary court. In &C.
cordance with the regulations of the
Bureau of Navigation, the director, the
first and second director or the marine
superintendent can, each and every
one, act as summary court officer, and
one of these officials will commence
the trials of the accused men today.
New Japanese Line.
T. Ohkuma, manager of the local
branch of Mitsui Bussan Kaisha, who
has just returned from a business trip
in Japan, announces that the Japanese
parliament has voted a subsidy for a
steamship line plying between China,
Japan and the Philippine and Poly
nesian Islands. Mr.. Ohkuma thinks
the present rebellion in China will
have no material effect on freight
rates in Japan, all of which seem TO
be very firm.

Contributions Will Reach Over $40, 900.

Rock county will have raised $4,000
for her tornado sufferers before the
campaign now being concluded is final
ly closed. Of this sum about So, 500
has already been turned in to the
county committee, and of this amount
the committee has so far distributed
about So, 500.
Z The committee went over the lists of
names and found that about so persons
have been aided by the contributions,
so far. New cases are constantly COM
ing to light, and it is being demonstrate
ed that several of those who were hit
hard by the tornado are too proud to
let their real needs be known and ac-
cept money. The committee now has
about 81, 500 on hand in cash, and it
was decided to hold this for time, so
that if any pressing need arises there
will be money to meet it. If no new
cases come to light within reasonable
length of time, the money will be dis
bursed where most needed.

Electric Lights on the Farm.

An experiment of farm lighting by
electricity has been given two months
trial by D. l.. Babcock, one of the sub
stantial farmers in Albion, and he is
now prepared to give it his unqualified
| approval as being satisfactory, safe
and economical system for lighting
farm homes, barns and other buildings.
| In September last he had installed for
him a Fairbanks-Morse farm plant of
SO light capacity at a total cost of $475,
including wiring and fixtures with 80
lights wired in. The outfit consists of
q h. p. gasoline engine, 80 light
dynamo with a storage battery accom-
paniment of capacity to carry full
load for two hours. Mr.. Babcock es-
| Inmates such plant to cost, without
wiring or fixtures, about $275. Not
| only his home but his horse barn, cow
barn, sheds and hay lofts are supplied
| with lights of from "a to IL candle
power, so there is no occasion for
| lanterns or other artificial lights to be
used anywhere about the place. 1t is
now costing him only about 80 cents
per week to operate the plant, or 5
| cents per hour for the hours lights are
needed upon the place. He has to OPP
crate the engine only about two hours
each day where long evening and early
morning lights are needed. All he has
| to do is to start the engine and the
plant goes right on storing up current
until it is needed. In the summer time,
| of course, when less light is needed the
expense will be materially reduced.
Mr.. Babcock is more than pleased with
the quality of the lighting he is receiv-
| ing and thinks the question of lighting
farm homes is solved by such system
as he is now using.
