Amazon River.

1t has been stated in official consu-
lar reports that the aggregate navi-
gable waters of the Amazon and trib-
utaries for all sorts of craft is esti-
mated to exceed $4,000 miles. The
average depth is from 40 to $50 feet
and the average width from to 40
miles.
At the mouth near Para the river
Is 1873 miles wide, including the is
land of Marajo and the northern and
southern outlets. The immense vol

of yellow water in the blue of the At.
lantic easily distinguishable for 15O
miles at sea, creating a fresh water
sea while out of sight of land. This
yellow or old gold colored water unit

PRACTICAL GIFT FOR BEeGAR
Stranger May Have Meant Well, but
His Kindness Was Not In the
Least Appreciated.

After suffering excruciating tor
lures for six months from doubling
up a perfectly sound leg to fit on
wooden stump the crutch-bearing beg
gar finally succeeded in eliciting sym
pathy from a passerby. With kindly
eyes the stranger eyed the cripple
from top to toe.
"You seem to be in a pretty bac
way" he said.
"Yes, sir" whined the cripple
Couldn't be much worse"
TOO bad" said the sympathizer
81 must see If something can't be
done for you"
Hope beat strongly in the beggar''
breast and he murmured God bless
you" with unusual fervor.
Two days later the sympathizer ap
peared again and ostentatiously pre-
scented the cripple with the material
ization of his benevolent intentions
He gave him new crutch.

CHILDHOOD A VARIED PERIOD
From Twenty Years, In the Human
Race, II Grades Down to a Few
Weeks Among the Birds.

The childhood OF animals varies
with the total length of life, with the
size, and especially with the position,
in the life scale. Long lived animals,
large animals and highly developed
animals usually have a long youth.
The educated human being requires
20 years to grow up; the savage about
Is; the higher monkeys-the gorilla
and the orang-12 TO IA years; the
baboon, s years, and the small mon
keys, about half that time. The less
intelligent cat race has youth of
but or 5 years among the larger
kinds. The vegetable-eating animals,
mostly of small intelligence, grow up
quickly, the buffalo and all the big
antelopes and deer having only about
2 years Of childhood, and the chamois
somewhat longer, although the giraffe
has 5 or years. The elephant, the
largest of land animals and one of the
most intelligent, is not grown up until
20 to q years old. All birds have
short youth, looking after themselves
in weeks to months, but becoming
grown up IN 1 to years. Many rep
tiles-like the tortoise, crocodile, and
alligator-seem to grow all their lives
Certain other creatures have a short
adult period-the mayfly, for instance,
spending years on the bottom of a
pong, and living but few hours aft
er emerging fully grown from its skin
covering. Still more extreme is the
American cicada, which gropes II
years underground, and lives but or
weeks after emerging.

Domestic DlaIcultlcs Being Settled,
Woman Insisted Upon One 9th
or Understanding.

A colored couple was taken before
the Juvenile court and against the
man was placed the charge Of neg
lecting his children. Judge Taylor
gave advice as to what should be done
to straighten out the family trouble
so the couple could continue to live
together and support the children.
you are earning So a week, and
have three children to support on
that" said the judge. ut is evident
that you must cut your expenses down
as low as possible. You are paying
for a plano by installments. You will
have to stop that, for people in your
circumstances can't afford to have a
piano.
you must leave the house you are
living In and move to a smaller one
with lower rent. You ought not to
pay over So or SO a month for rent"
The mother objected to this, saying
that she could not live in respecta-
BILE neighborhood under such condi.
tions.
The Judge found that they belonged
to different churches, and he advised
that the wife join the husbands
church. He added that it was proper
that the husband hold the purse
strings. After many other difficulties
had been smoothed over the case was
continued two weeks to give the new
methods trial. The couple left. but
at the door the woman turned to the
Judge and said:
Dat will be all right, but All must
insist dat he pinch his mouf an stop
talking about me."-Indianapolis News.

The Real story.

Anciently there lived a certain man
by the name of George. who was much
pestered by dragon.
The dragons colors were never
twice alike, and by that the creature
got on Georges nerves in a particu-
lar manner.
At length George fell TO thinking,
and the very next time he was asked
what he would have he replied:
Never againl"
Moreover. he stuck to 1t.
"St. Georgel" shifted his boon com.
panions ironically.
But posterity spoke of him without
irony, remembering only that he had
by the exercise Of a superb courage
slain the dragon.

HELPLESS WHEN ON ITS BACK
Predlcament Of Camel Means Much
Hard Work and ls Conducive to
Profanity.

The ship Of the desert" like any
other ship, may be capsized, and IN
that predlcament the camel is said to
be absolutely helpless under certain
conditions.
The queer beasts manner of lying
down to rest is to fold his legs be-
meath his body. II he happens to
roll upon his side he cannot recover
his feet again. This infirmity of the
animal was amusingly illustrated in
the experience of a French explorer
whose caravan was made up Of cam
els.
The leader had bought some new
ones and had no idea of taking any
other animals into a country largely
composed OF loose sand. Trouble be-
gan at the very outset. One camel, as
awkward as any of the species, man
aged to tumble into a ditch Of thick
mud between the road and a wheat
field. When once fallen camel can
only get up again If he can arrange
his feet conveniently under him and

SteriIlzed Coal.

Coal in the mines is one OF the
things freest from germs. Old-time
doctors used to notice coal miners
wounds healed fast, though begrimed
and besmeared with coal dust. For a
long time it has been thought that
breathing in coal dust caused lung dis
eases in miners. Some experts find
fresh coal is as good as sterilized, and
say miners have lung trouble because
they do not take the trouble to put
off their damp and sweaty clothing be-
fore going from the mine to their
homes, thus taking cold in the open
air walk. Experts say our miners
ought to put on warm and dry clothes
at the mouth Of the mine. But 1t
seems the miners have minds of their
own, and although the coal companies
in some places fixed up hot and cold
water baths and dressing rooms at the
mouth of the mines the men would
not use them, but went home to wash
and dress, as had been their custom
for generations.

Was a Quiet Fourth.

Yesterday was the Fourth of July,
the birthday of this free American
nation, that is now the home of 90,-
100000 people. Save for the oc-
casional enthusiasm of some small
boy with a bunch of fre-crackers,
the demonstration was as mild as a
gin-fiz. This was lonesome town
yesterday, to be real truthful, and
the few that remained at home en-
joyed peaceful, quiet day. With
the ball team and bunch of rooters
at Mason, others attending the pic
mic at Waterloo and big crowd
at Lake Tahoe, the community was
well thinned. The stores remained
closed all day in order that the
clerks might enjoy the day.
