dova-Army and Navy Systems Working Together.

Lieut.. Dougherty, of the local cable office, has received no information from the officers of the cable repair ship Burnside as to when they are expected in Valdez to repair the break in the cable, caused by the anchor of the steamer Alameda.
 It is known that the ship can secure fuel oil at Cordova and that it will not be necessary for the ship to make a special trip to Seattle for fuel The matter of repairing the break upon the arrival of the ship will require but few hours. In the meantime private and press dispatches are con- ing through via the navy wireless in connection with the military system.

Not a Soloist.

The late Theodore Thomas was re- hearsing the Chicago orchestra on the stage of the Auditorium theater. He was disturbed by the whlstling of AL bert Burridge. the we'll known scene painter, who was at work in the loft above the stage. A few minutes later Mr. Thomas librarian appeared on the bridge" where Mir Burridge. merrily whiStling. was at work
 "A1r. Thomas compliments" said the librarian. ''and he requests me to state that if Mr. Burridge wishes to whistle he will be glad to discontinue his re- hearsal."
 To which Mir. Burridge replied suave- ly, Mir Burridge's compliments to Mir. Thomas. and please inform Mir Thomas that if Mir Burridge cannot whistle with the orchestra he won't whistle at all."

Prehistoric Man In Belgium.

Prehistoric man has been traced in several periods in Belgium. and NJ. Putot, Belgian geogogist. has made Il novel attempt to estimate the popu- lation at different stages, In the lower Aurignacian period five of Belgium's numerous caves seem to have been ill- habited, their capacity being fifty to sixty persons. In the Magdalenean period the population was probably sixty Retreat of the ice permitted leaving the shelters at the close of this period. and the settlers on the banks of the lakes may soon have numbered 100 or 150. The coming of the Cervides forests perhaps developed a population of 1000. which may have increased to 4.O00 or 5000 at the be- ginning of the polished stone ago. New York Press.

WEDDING SUPERsTlTIONs.
Curious Customs That Used to Be Ob.
 served In England.

Curious Customs That Used to Be ob-
 served In England.
 Superstition never clustered round any episode of life more than that of the wedding day, especially in olden times
 Then it was customary for the bride to present her future husband with a bunch of rosemary tied up with rib bons on his first appearance on the wedding morning. This was supposed to secure his love and loyalty and to make her happy forever.
 In Yorkshire the old superstition still abounds that nothing more unlucky could happen than for a newly made bride to leave the church by different door from that by which she entered.
 Another quaint custom. for which there is no known origin, is that prac- tised in some of the midland and northern counties of England. This is to ring merry peal of the church bells at the first reading of the banns of an intending matrimonial couple. It is called the 'spur peal" which in old Anglo Saxon means simply "ask.' Of course it is well known that it is the height of luck for bride to be to dream of fairies the night before the actual ceremony. So much was this idea believed in that many girls would peruse fairy tales before going to sleep.-Iondon Telegraph

Rocking Chair Signs.

An observant Atchison woman says she can tell from the way woman rocks on her front porch what condi- tion the house behind her is in. If she sways back and forth with a floppy. comfortable motion. plumping both feet down in relaxed sort of way. then everything about the house is absolutely clean and neat. But if she rocks in little nervous jerks. tap ping her feet down at short and irregn- lar intervals. it signifies that there are unmade beds behind her and stacks of unwashed dishes and dusty floors.-Atchson Globe

PLAGIARISM.
Only Crime When One Pitches From
 the Commonplace.

Only a Crime When One Pitches From
 the Commonplace.
 Plagiarize all you please, provided you steal from the right sources, for the secret of individuality is familiar ity with the masters. The great gen- fuses were meant to be objects of plagiarism. To be plain. the more you absorb of first class mind the more your own originality is fed. Plagia- rism is only crime when it is a theft of commonplaces from mediocre sources.
 Let the young musician soak full of Beethoven, Wagner, Mozart and Men- delssohn. That is the surest way for him to find himself. To absorb comic lose and kill himself.
 Let the young preacher preach Bush- nell, Robertson and Brooks So doing. he will come to preaching himself. As for writers, there is truth in the advice given by great man that the read Addison and exercise oneself in endea voring to rewrite him. You cannot plagiariZe the Bible, nor Shakespeare. nor Homer, nor Dante. nor Milton These have ceased to be men: they are humanity. You can plagiariZe Shaw, or Rrete IIarte. or the last "best seller"
 To isolate oneself from the mas ters is not the road to originality: 1t is the road to vulgarity.
 "Few English authors" says Ham, merton. studied past literature more willingly than Shelley and Tennyson, and none are more original" "-Frank Crane in Woman's World.

In Fact He Had to Have 1t and For . Very Good Reason. Tody Hamilton had an experience with an editor of weekly paper in Michigan when he was general press representative with the Barnum x Bailey show that gave him a new view of finance.
 The big show was billed to appear at Owosso, Mich. and the contract agent with the No. advertising car had failed to come to terms with the editor of weekly at little junction point twenty miles distant. Hamilton went to the little town. sought out the editor and prepared copy for double column advertisement.
 "I'll give you $10 and twenty tickets for two weeks service in your paper, two columns, mostly cnts." said Ham, ilton to the editor
 "Oh, no, you won't! You'll give me $63 or the advertisement won't go." ] replied the editor coolly. "Sixty-three dollars! Great Scott!' roared Hamilton. "Thats more than your internal paper is worth never give more than $1O and twenty tickets for our stuff ill any country weekly Man, you're crazy, stark mad" All efforts at persuasion failed. The editor remained obdurate. It was sea or nothing Finally in despair Hamil, ton exclaimed:
 "Why do you make it $G3? You might as well make 1t $1G3. It's just | as unreasonable"
 "rll tell you, friend" replied the edi' tor calmly. ''I have note coming due shortly for just that amount. and you have got to pay it." Hamilton did, for he needed the ad' vertising in that particular weekly, and | the editor knew it.-New York Sun.

NO NAME FOR A POET.
Miller Was Open to Conviction and

Miller Was Open to Conviction and
 Shed the Heavy Burden.
 "Cincinnatus Heine' was the name that the parents of Joaquin Miller be- slowed on him at his christening. How the poet came to adopt the name Joaquin" under which he is univer sally known, was told by MT. Charles Phillips. editor of the San Francisco Monitor. Miss Ina Coolbrith. of whom he speaks. is the California poetess who has been called the "Sappho of the west"
 In 1870. when he came down from Oregon and published his first little book of poems. entitled Joaquin ct al.," he told Miss Coolbrith of his de- termination to go to London and win fame.
 "How in the world." she asked him. do you expect to climb Parnassus with such name as you have? Mill Ter is bad enough. but Cincinnatus IIeine is impossiblc!"
 But what can l do?" Miller asked. Its my name, isn't it?"
 "Why don't you take some name that will identify you with Califor- nia?" Miss Coolbrith rejoined. Take the name of your first book; call your- self Joaquin"
 By George, I'll do it." said Miller. And from that day he signed himself Joaquin Miller"

Whist undoubtedly is derived from the old game of trumps. which has a purely English lineage. There is no record of the origin of this game nor of it's development into ruff and hon. OTIS. which was the parent of whist. The earliest reference to 1t is believed to be in A sermon of T.atimer about the year l529 The name probably is derived from the "hist" or ''siience" which close attention to play demands of the players

Some doctors persuaded the warden

The doctors told him that they
could bleed him to death, and spare
his relatives the ignominy of his be

ed to die that way.
He was placed upon table, tin
pan put on the floor at his feet, and
another placed high above it with q
puncture to let the water out II
drops.
The mans eyes were covered and
his body fastened to the table and q
blunt instrument used to press hard
against his foot. Then the water
falling in big drops into the pan made
the noise that convinced the man that
he was being bled.
The doctors talked low about the
quantity Of blood he might have, and
occasionally felt his pulse, and in q
whisper stated he would be dead in Z
few minutes longer, and he did die
without one drop of blood having
been taken. ..:,
