bridge, leading to the hospital has
been condemned and boarded up and
orders have been given watchmen to
allow no person to drive across the

HIS MESSAGES GIVEN BACK

fty, Wondered How That
Should Be.

A busy English merchant was about
to leave his home in Brixton for a trip
on the continent, and his wife, know
ing his aversion to letter writing, re-
minded him gently OF the fact.
Now, John, you must be eyes and
ears for us at home and drop us an
occasional post card telling us any
thing Of interest. Don't forget, will
you, dear?"
The husband promised. The next
morning his wife received a postal
card: Dear wife, l reached Dover
all right. Yours AFT"
Though somewhat disappointed, she
thought her husband must have been
pressed Tor time. Two days later, how
ever. another card arrived, with the
startling announcement: Here l am
in Paris. Yours ever" And still later:
II am indeed in Paris. Yours"
Then the wife decided to have lit
tie fun and seized her pen and wrote:
Dear husband. the children and l are
at Brixton. Yours"
A few days later she wrote again:
1--WE are still In Brixton."
In her last communication she grew
more enthusiastic. Dear husband,
here we are in Brixton. repeat it,
sir, we art in Brixton. P. S.-We are
indeed"
In due time her husband reached
home, fearing that his poor wife had
temporarily lost her senses, and has
tened to ask the meaning Of her
strange messages. With winning
smile she handed him his own three
postal cards.

Challenged, you see, by prosecution

say they're spoiled In childhood. Curly

when they grow up the girls pet and

Austrian COOKING Fat.

Lard is very expensive in Austria,
especially at Carlsbad, consequently it
is regarded somewhat as a luxury. AS
a substitute preparation known as
"spelsfett,' or cooking fat is used. 1t
is sold under the name Of ceres" and
it is said that its principal ingredient
is palm oil This substance is pre-
pared in the towns of Bodenbach and
Aussig and sells for 145 crowns for
100 kilos ($13.40 for 100 pounds) in
large quantities, or 16 crowns a kilo
(l4A cents pound in small quaint
ties in Carlsbad. 1t is put up In cakes
weighing one-half kilo Ill pounds)
and is sold without container. In
appearance it is much like cottolene.
Palm oil, owing to treaty with Ger

more favorable conditions than cotton
seed oil, the duty on the former being

On the latter is 40 crowns.

RELIC OF PREHISTORIC AGE
Discovery In Germany Has Aroused
Antiquarlans in All Parts
OF the World.

The bones Of a monster believed to
be 10000 years old were recently dis
covered in the garden of a mansion
at Perivale, near Ealing, Germany.
This recent find has led to the belief
that skull of curious formation, un-
earthed twelve years ago, is that of a
rhinoceros of the Pleistocene period,
and probably about 10000 years old
Authorities have pronounced the head
to be that of a prehistoric monster
When Ahe excavations were made
there were also discovered parts OF a
Roman wall, several human skulls,
coins and spears. The rhinoceros'
skull was found underneath a shed
which has been standing for 800
years, and the foundations of which
consisted of concrete to a consider
able depth. 1t was in the course Of
removing this concrete and digging
some yards below that the discovery
was made. AS little Importance was
attached to it, the skull was given
to the gardener who handed it over
to his children as d plaything. The
lower jaw, teeth, and legs of the ami
NAL have now been found. The skull
itself Is about SO inches in length,
and seems to be water worn. The
leg bones are short and thick, and
this goes to support the theory that
the animal was rhinoceros.

LIVES IN DEADLY WEAPON
Inventor VIII Long Be Remembered
as Originator OF Famous
GatIing Gun.

The first OF those terrible engines of
warfare known as the Calling gun
was invented in 1862 by Richard Jor-
dan Calling, who was born in North
Carolina. Calling. the son of rich
planter, was well educated, and early
devoted himself to scientific work and
mechanical experiments. His first de-
vice was screw propeller for steam
ships, on which, on applying for a pat
ent, he found himself anticipated by
Ericsson. Next he contriyed a ma
chine for planting rice, wheat and 9TH
er grain in drills, which proved high
ly successful. Having used his inven-
tive genius N such manner as to as
sist In feeding and preserving human
ity, he next set about the task of con-
irving machine for killing his fell
lows. There were crude rapid fire
guns in use when Calling turned his
attention to the subject, but they were
OF little practical value. The Calling
gun, soon led to- a revolutionizing of
artillery, and until his death the in
ventor devoted his time almost exclu-
s1vely to perfecting ano manufacturing
that formidable weapon, which has
been adopted by all the armies of the
world. Tens of thousands of graves
now attest to the deadly accuracy of
the Staying machine invented by Cat
ling.

SOMETIMES NEED ISOLATION
Best Of Human Qualities Frequently
Come to the Front Under Such
circumstances,

Many great human qualities come
to their best In life Of comparative
isolation. A big tree, an oak or an elm,
standing out in an open field has a
toughness Of fiber spread of boughs
and roundness of shape that are never
seen in a tree that stands in the
woods. So people get individuality by
being much alone. They become self
reliant, more relying on themselves.
They gain clear opinions by thinking
things over, and thinking them out to
their necessary conclusion. They &C
quire infleXibility of purpose by fac
ing obstacles and conquering them
The pioneers of our country and the
fathers OF the republic were such men,
The projectors of great undertakings
carried through triumphantly have ac-
quired their power in this way. The
country is the natural nursery of such
qualities. People are wanted on the
farms to raise corn and grow stock
for the markets; but they are wanted
there far mare for the training of man
hood and womanhood in moral worth,
in religious sensibility, in all the traits
OF strong, upright personality. In the
future as never heretofore, our cities,
with their multiplying wealth and Law
ish luxury, are likely to need the coun-
better life which shall keep them from
relaxing into senslality and sinking
into decay.
