Eas+ lnd;an Aorohats

The wandering acrobats of India. says a writer in the Wide World. are recruited from low caste of people called ''Dombaranos," who live by this profession alone The children are trained from their earliest childhood and do not receive any education in schools. They travel from village to town and give their performances. which are really wonderful, in the open air before crowds of onlookers. Their tricks are quaint and sometimes aston ishingly clever. Supported by one an other these men will balance them selves in crazy kind of pyramid rising fifteen or twenty feet from the ground. and one of their number will then climb this living pyramid with heavy weight in his teeth. Babies not yet able to walk are often seen being made use of in the most dangerous manner during these performances. Rajahs and rich Indians are very fond of the acrobatic displays and engage the best of the men to perform before their guests at entertainments.

Our First Shoemakers.

The great American industry of shoe manufacturing. which now amounts to $5OOO00.000 annually, appears to have had its beginning in Salem, Mass. when Thomas Beard and Isaac Rick erman, the first shoemakers of record in this land. settled there after the Mayf1ower had brought them over on her second voyage. They were ad- judged so valuable an addition to the little colony that the selectmen voted to furnish them board and house room free. The shoemakers who first came to this country were most welcome men, for in the earliest settlements of New England boots and shoes were altogether an imported stock, and the rough land of the new country wore out even the strongest boots in short order The growth of the shoe indus try in the United States has kept pace with other lines of manufacture. and America manufactures the best shoes of any nation in the world.-New Or leans Picayune.

How Names Are chanaed.

There was q curious transformation of names among the refugees who hocked to England after the revolu- tion of the edict of Nantes. Many of the Huguenots translated their names into English. sometimes with a slight alteration of the sense. Boileau be- came Drinkwater; Delamere, Bythesea; Jolifemme. Prettyman; Loiseau, Bird; Lefevre, Smith; Dubois, Wood. and Sauvage. Savage or Wild.
 Some names became so corrupted as to be unrecognizable Chapuis became Shoppee; Beaufoy, Boffin, and Condo, Cundy. Similar havoc. though on a less extensive. scale, has been played with English names in France. Ma zarin's' successor. Colbert. descended from an Englishman named Cuthbert. and the real name of the famous art ist who decorated Versailles was not Le Brun. but Brown. And we may counter that with the Tolfers, who are the Taillefers of France

No crowdinq In Enqlish Cars.

Americans submit to being compelled to ride in cars so crowded that they get their feet trod on, their clothes torn and get no seats. but pay just as if there was no crowding and album dant comfort.
 The Englishman is subjected to no such injustice. And why? Because when tramcars first came into vogue an Englishman found the passageway in ear filled with passengers. He did not submit He went to court and got damages. the court saying in nc cents which are echoing in England yet:
 "The carrier is obliged by law to fur nish not only transportation. but com fortable transportation This is nc more performed by furnishing trans portation without seat than it would be by furnishing seat without trans. portation And this is not all-the pas senger is entitled to free ingress and egress "-Houston Chronicle.

Art Instincts of the Japanese.

Possibly the Greeks may have been endowed with a universal instinct for art production and art appreciation, but certain it is that there is no other. na- tion today living in which artistic taste and aptitude are more generally diff fused than ill Japan. Not only are the commonest kitchen utensils nodded into forms of exquisite beauty by Japa- nese artisans, but it is also very un- usual to. find even a coolie who is not in some way a capable artist. To this so competent an authority as Professor Chamberlin bears testimony in saying that it is to the common people that the foreigner in Japan must go for those lessons in proportion, fitness and sobriety which Greece once knew so well. Do you want flowers arranged Ask your house coolie to arrange them. k something wrong in the laying out o2 your garden? Call in the cook or the washerwoman as counselor It makes little difference whom you con- suit so universal is the development of the art instinct among the common people throughout the entire empire.- Arthur May Knapp in Atlantic.

ncaIIinn the Meat.n

Extolling the virtues of the African carrier" ]. H. Harris in Dawn In Darkest Africa" tells of a long caravan march through vast forests when food ran short. One of the natives suggest ed calling the meat" Arriving at q quiet spot. a son of the forest fell on his knees. placed the tips of two fin gers in his nostrils. ''emitted series Of calls which made that forest glen echo with. as it were, the joyous cries of a troop of monkeys" When he had re- peated these tactics in several places rear by for about half an hour there was m excited cry of Here they come." And soon ga score of monkeys could be seen skipping from tree to tree toward the inimitable monkey cries of our carrier" Four were shot for the evening meal, and some of the men were so famished that they ate the flesh raw"

Staoe "Fire Doos.D

Here is an instance which. for simon pure stupidity, has rarely been equal ed, writes Mary Shaw in the London Strand. A stage manager sent a list of properties to small place ahead. naming, among other things. dogs for the fireplace" When the company ar rived late in the afternoon, they found six or eight CUTS lashed up in the the ater, barking and yelping and tugging at their chains. The stage manager. not knowing what these canines were there for, took no notice of them, but began going over his props" With the property man at his elbow he ran down the list, asking what he could get and what he could not get. Pres ently he came to the item and asked, What about the dogsY'
 Well" answered the man. pointing to the yelpers, these were all could get'
 The stage manager for the first time realized what the CUTS were for. but he didn't want to give the local prop erty man away before the others. SC he very seriously and critically in spected the dogs and then said. shak- ing his head almost sadly:
 .I'm afraid they aren't just the right kind You had better send them back"

An old Royal Romance.

Uskub, the capital of the old Servian empire, is associated with one of the few real love affairs of Turkish sul- tan. 1t was here, after the fatal field of Kossovo, that Bajazet arranged terms of peace with the Servian King Stephen. One of the most important stipulations was that Stephen should hand over his sister. the Lady Despina. as wife of the sultan. It was a lucky deal for the Servians. for we are told that "of all his wives the sultan held the Lady Despina dearest and for her sake restored her brother the city and castle of Semendria and Columbarium, in Servia."

SHORTAGE ALLEGED.
Closing of the First National Bank oil
Enwpife ca


Lafayette, Ga.
While absolute silence is being
maintained by Acting Comptroller Of
the Currency Kane in regard to the
closing OF the First National bank of
Lafayette, Ga, so far as the details
are concerned it is stated that the
direct cause of the troubles of the in.
stitution is large shortage. No de-
tails have as yet been received from
Bank Examiner 4omas j. Dunlap, it
is asserted, and as soon as his com
plete report is received it is init
mated that startling developments will
follow. 1t is said that the shortage
will be at least $4,000; also that the
bank was closed with the approval of
the directors, the shortage having
made the institution insolvent.
R. N. Dickerson is president and
F. A. Hunt, Jr., cashier. Acting
Comptroller Kane said that the short
age was believed to be due to en-
bezzlement or defalcation.
The last examination of the bank
was made May 90, and it was then
all right. The statement in answer
to the comptroller's call of June 4
also showed the bank to be in good
condition, and it is believed that thu
shortage occurred since that tim.
The bank had a capital stock of $780,,
600 and a surplus of $500.

PinkertOns Now Believe Frank Not
Guilty Of Murder.
That the Pinkerton detectives, who
for so many weeks held to the theory
that Leo NJ. Frank is guilty of the
Mary Phagan murder in Atlanta, now
lay the crime at the door of Jim Con-
ley, is a recent development of in
terest to the students of the murder
mystery.
While Harry Scott, the field chief
of the Pinkerton operatives who have
been working on the case practically
from the first, employed by the Ma
tional Pencil Factory to find Mary
Phagan's murderer, regardless of who
the criminal might be, refuses to dis
cuss the case, it is learned from un-
questioned authority that the theory
CT the Pinkertons has undergone a
change.
The Pinllartons, while not admitted
to many Of the later conferences
which the solicitor has held with the
city detectives, are said to be in pos
session of practically every point of

however, to the p.uyrassive spirit OF

RIDDEN ON RAIL.
Woman is Then Ducked in Pond and
Forced to Flee Village.

Woman is Then Ducked in Pond and
Forced to Flee Village.
Suspicious that Mrs. Minnie Rich
ardson, wife of the crippled keeper of
a general store at Polo, ILL.,, was more
than friendly with her brother-in-law,
Will Dunnill, the village stonemason,
band of women of the village kid
napped Mrs. Richardson from her
home, rode her on a rail through the
town and dumped her in mud pud-
die.
After the mud bath they gave her
"a hours to leave the village. Rich
ardson mortgaged his store for $1,000
and gave her money to pay her rail
road fare.
When the men of the town went to
Dunnil's home, he was not there and
his wife said he had left the town,
She had mortgaged her home to get
money for him.
Mrs. Peter Stansfeld, wife of the
blacksmith, who was captain of the
women "vigilantes," said that the
conduct of Mrs. Richardson and Dun
mill had been the subject of comment
for nearly a year.
The women planned to capture Mrs
Richardson and the men were to take
Dunnill and the rail-riding party was
to be "d0ubla-header." The mer
filled to find their victim and Mrs
Richardson rode alone. The mel
stood on the sidewalks and cheered.
