faculties through fear. While engaged
in harvesting operations in the Hor-

by the reptile, but was nevertheless
greatly alarmed, so much so that he
went into a fit, under the influence of

then lost the powers of speech and
hearing. The scenes depicted at the
picture show were of a thrilling char
acter, and on the following day he
could utter a few words. Subsequent

HAS A NEWSPAPER OF 177s
st. Paul Man Owner Of Publication In
Which George Washington Was
an Advertiser.

A newspaper dated Friday, August
20, 1878, has come into the possession
of Edward Gerving, says the st. Paul
Pioneer Press. 1t is a copy Of the
first issue of the Maryland Journal
and Baltimore Advertiser. 1t has not
yet been submitted to an archaelogist
to determine its authenticity, but it
looks the part with its queer old fash
toned type and its decayed yellow pa
per which has to be handled with
care lest It crumble.
Mr.. Gerving lives at the Marlowe
apartments. An elderly woman for
merly lived there with her son. The
woman died and the son moved to
other parts leaving a lot Of old maya
zines piled in a corner of the apart
ment. These the janitor turned over
to Mr.. Gerying and in the pages of
an old copy Of the Youths Companion
he found the ancient newspaper.
The paper contains an interesting
advertisement signed by one George
Washington, real estate operator ltv-
ing at Mount Vernon, who had twenty
thousand acres of fine land, the pat.
ents to which he was anxious to dis
pose Of.

ADDITION TO WORLDS METALS
Find Of Extreme Value IL Credited to
Recent Discovery Made In
British Columbia.

A new noble metal has been discov-

the now recognized elements and per-
haps Of no small commercial signifl-

called by the discoverer canadlum.
belongs emphatically to the group OF
noble metals. Il is found pure in
semi-crystalline grains and In short
crystalline rods, and also alleged with
metals customarily found In company
with platinum. II is stated that guam

probably from assay values, have
been found In the rock. It's physical

Of the blowpipe, melts at little lower
temperature than silver and gold, and
is somewhat softer than platinum.
From the chemical standpoint It is
electromagnetic to silver, Is precipi-
tated from its solution by zinc, and
may be separated by cupellation from
lead. It Is easily soluble In hydro
chloric and nitric acids, Is not pre-
cipitated by chlorides or iodides. It
does not tarnish In damn air. sulphn-

This somewhat extraordinary combi-
nation Of properties raises questions
Of great interest as to the character
and position Of the new metal. It's
easy solubility separates 1t from the
known metals which generally accom-
pany platinum, and its melting point,
as stated. is at least 500 degrees G.
below that Of any Of the platinum
group.

TOUCHED THEIR SOFT HEART

Of Irish Youths Seemed Some

Supreme Court Justice Cohalan of
New York, who Is proud of his Irish
blood. also believes that for keen wit
and humor no race In the world equals

greater part OF last summer on the

met.
lie tells story of two husky lads
who were tenants of the same land
owner and who we're constantly en-
broiled either with the man himself or
one of his agents. At last things came
to such a pass that the two decided
to waylay their landlord. They chose
a favorable spot along the road over
which they knew the landlord must
travel that afternoon and crouched In
the ditch waiting. To beguile the
time each told the other a part Of the
punishment he had devised for the
landlord.
Said one, "OiIl tap him on the head
wild me blackthorn and whin he falls
OH step on his face an"
The other interrupted: 'Oi name to

They kept up the bloodthirsty con-
versation for some time and at last
one noticed the day was almost done
and that 1t was far past the time when
the landlord might have been expect

culinary threats to call the attention
Of his companion to the fight of time
and the non-appearance of the man
they expected, exclaiming:

Real Eugene Aram.

A sale of relics of Eugene Aram re
minds us that Lord Lytton's Aram
was very different parsonage from
him who was hanged at York, who,
judging from the published account Of
the trial, was merely a felon of the
baser sort. He associated with low
companions, married a low wife and
practiced swindling with a miserable
creature whom in his younger days he
was associated with in stealing flower
roots-for they were both gardeners
and finally murdered him to secure a
few pounds, the proceeds of a swindle
Aram possessed a vigorous intellect,
had mastered the learned languages,
had read every classic that came in
his way, and, says a distinguished
writer, when the learned felon came
to make his defense all Britain was
astonished by piece Of pleading
which, if given to the public among
the defenses and under the name of
Thomas Lord Erskine, so celebrated
for this species of composition. would
certainly not be deemed unworthy of
the collection of its author.

Good Reason.

Daniel Kennedy, New York's IA

collection of French snuffboxes that
had sold too low.
"You ask why the owner sold them
so low" said Mr.. Kennedy. well,
he sold them low because he had to.
Poverty compelled him.
1T is like the story of the little
boys with the green ribbon in their
coats. The school teacher interro-
gated these little boys to see what
their knowledge of Irish history
amounted to.

WISE SAYINGS OF CoNFUcIUS
Great Chinese Teacher Worthy the
High Place In Which He Is Held
by His Race.

Some OF the sayings of Confucius
which are to the Chinese what the BIZ
BILE is to US, are:
mot to withdraw after making an
error is In itself an error.
knowledge is when you know
thing to hold that you know It; and
when you do not know a thing to al
low that you do not know 1t. That
Is knowledge.
Sincerity is the end and beginning
OF things.
ITO see the right and not to do it is
to be a coward.
-Four of the marks Of a superior
man are: In the conduct OF himself he
Is humble: in serving his superiors he
is respectful; in nourishing the people
he is kind; in ordering the people he
Is Just
"The difference between the great
man and the ordinary man is that the
great man has fair mind and sees
all sides, and the common man has a
mind which Is partisan and one-sided.
"At a funeral 1t is better that there
be deep sorrow than a minute atten.
ton to ceremony.
Whatever the mind may attain to,
unless the goodness within is power
full enough to keep guard over it, is
assuredly lost even though it be
gained.
He with whom neither SANDER that
gradually soaks in nor statements that
startle like wounds in the flesh are
successful may be called intelligent
indeed. Yes, the man with whom
neither soaking SANDER nor startling
statements are successful may be call
ed far-seeing."

Work For Kings.

The sphere of foreign affairs is one
in which British monarch. for all his
complete subordination to constitu-
tutional forms, still exercises real pow
err. Unlike the late king. who was his
own travelling ambassador, and whose
personality made him welcome in the
capitals of Europe, George V. chooses
TO work through his ministers. but
there is every reason to believe that
the monarch's views will carry weight
with the cabinet. Situated as he is
above party, the king may readily
work for international friendship and
peace without being accused of be-
traying the country's interests.

SMALL CLASS
For Naval Academy Passes
Another Examination
In June.

Baltimore, May 6.-Authorities of
the Naval Academy have announced
the list of liz candidates for sd
mission to the Naval Academy as
midshipmen who were success
full in the recent mental exami-
nations conducted under civil service
regulations at the various stations
throughout the country. The num-
Der of young men who came up for
the tests was 275, so that the per-
centage of those found qualified is
only 43, much smaller than in recent
years. though a little better than
the result Of the first examinations
of last year. Of the lib who passed
eighty.one hold appointments as
principals. while the other thirty
two are first, second or third alter
mates. and will therefore lose their
chance of entering the academy if
the principals from the respective
districts from which they were ap-
pointed qualify in the physical tests.
The only entrant from Kentucky is
Corpett E. Phillips. of the Tenth
congressional district. The entrants
have yet to pass physical exami-
nations in June when another ex-
animation will be held.
