MoDERNlzED THE ANGEL.
Mounted on Ball Bearings, 1t Now Acts
as a Weather Vane,


There are many kinds of angels
ranging in style from those we read
about in the Bible to those who bring
out talent on the stage. 1t has remain
ed, however, for writer In the Amer
ican Machinist to discover a new type
of the seraphic assortment. This an
gel is ball bearing and entirely un-
like the common or garden variety
of angels 1t stands on top of the ia
nous tower known as the Campanile
di San Marco, in Venice, and swings to
the wind like weather vane.
The statue of the angel San Marco,
which surveyed the old city of Lagunes
since the sixteenth century, was found
but little damaged among the ruins
after the collapse of the tower. It was
repaired and now stands again on the
lofty height, but is supported in a very
different manner from the old, for IL
now rests on modern ball bearings.
This method of mounting allows the
statue to be turned around vertical
axis by the wind, so that 1t swings au-
tomatically into such position that
the angel always presents the small
est surface to the wind or storm. II
one considers that the large wings Of
the angel, which are eleven feet high,
project straight backward, 1t may be
imagined that the difference Of the
wind pressure is considerable, whether
the wind blows against the small front
surface or against the side exposing
the large face of the wings.

THE DREAM CAME TRUE.
But Washington Warned Light Horse

But Washington Warned Light Horse
Harry" to Dream No More.
The relations that existed between
General Washington and his younger
friend, Light Horse Harry" Lee-the
father of General Robert q. Lee-were
exceedingly close and tender. It is
an authentic tradition In the Lee fam.
lily that Washington regarded the brill
liant young cavalry officer almost in
the light of son.
Lee was inclined to be spendthrift,
and bis lavish use of money often
brought on him the paternal reproof
of his older and more discreet friend
and the reproof was often followed by
affectlonate assistance In extricating
him from his embarrassments.
Mrs. Washington was almost equally
fond of the young officer, who often
made long visits at Mount Vernon.
During one of his sojourns there,
Harry Lee remarked to his host at
the breakfast table:
General, had a singular dream
last night, which | must tell you. I
actually dreamed that you made me a
present OF your Westmoreland place"
The next day, at the dinner table,
Harry Lee found under his plate a
document nothing less than deed to
him of the Westmoreland estate. For
some moments, dazed with astonish-
ment, he stared at his friend.
Now, Harry" said Washington
calmly, take good care not to dream
Mount Vernon away from mev'

Ancient Coffins.

The coflins of the ancient Egyptians
were made of marble and stone. The
Romans used similar receptacles for
their dead, and Alexander the Great
is said to have been buried in coffin
of solid gold. In parts of England
glass coifins have been found. The
Athenian heroes were buried in coff1ns
made of cedar, owing to its aromatic
and incorruptible qualities, while the
first record of wooden coffins in Eng
land dates back to the days of King
Arthur. This monarch was supposed
to have been buried in the followed
trunk of gigantic oak tree,

MUNICIPAL PAWNsHOPS.
In the Mont de Piete the Partisan Has
q Model Institution.

mOuSi lHStitutiVtts
The story of the Mont de Piete, the
great pawnshop of Paris, reads like a
romance. 1t is the survival Of an old
bank conducted by a religious order es-
tablished to fight usury. This benevo-
lent enterprise was given up to be
started afresh under the direction of
the government in 1901, when Napo-
leon was near the height Of his glory.
The profits go to the state and to char
ity-to the public aid department and
to the hospitals of Paris. These chari-
ties benefit about $4,000 year.
The storage facilities of the Mont de
Piete are admirable. The Frenchman
may pawn his feather bed. When 1t
comes back to him 1t, as well as mat
tresses. blankets and all bed furnish
ings, has been thoroughly disinfected
The rate Of interest on loans is small,
and 1t encourages by all means the re-
demption of the goods on which money
has been advanced. AS the Mont de
Piete advances money only on a con-
servative valuation-as a rule to the
value Of two-thirds Of the article pawn
ed-there is generally surplus to go
to the pawner If the pledge is sold.

hear anybody say anything mean or
unpleasant, act as though you hadn't

When Mr.. Timkins got home that

that somebody had strewn his favorite
golf clubs and all his golf balls over
the front yard. Summoning bis six.

sternly:

anybody could steal them?"

composure, isn't it too bad our ice

Any one who has to manage men or
things must be able quickly to bring
order out of confusion. Test your
friends talent In this respect by writ
ing on your paper five words of spe-
cial class, such as the names Of five
flowers or of five animals or of five fa-
nous poets, with the first letter always
in the right place. while the order Of
the other letters is changed
The person on whom you are expert
menting knows only to which class the
words belong whether they are the
names of animals or of flowers or Of
poets. See how long 1t takes him to
write the FIVE correct words In place of
the misspeled ones

Juvenile Ideas.

A little girl once said to me, "Are
there people on the moon?" I said
didn't know, but that perhaps there
were. "Well, what do they do," she
said, when there's only little bit?
They must get very crowded. Don't
they" Which was almost as perplex.
ing as the query put to me by another
little maiden, who asked what do
angels do with their wings when they
lie down and go to bed?'
Very quaint was the idea of little
girl who was once visiting a house
where small child had died recently.
She was asked to draw something. So
she drew grave with some flowers
on it. Her mother, on seeing 1t, said,
jamie, you mustn't do that; Mrs. -
wouldn't like it. You see It reminds
ber of very sad things" "Oh, WELL"
said the child, perhaps 1t was thought
less of me, but can easily turn it into
beehive And she did, with all the
bees coming out-Hilda Cowham in

1t is only up to within the last year

It is only up to within the last year
or two that deaths from lightning
have been reported in Oregon. This
year a number have been killed or
severely shocked by electric storms.
It is probably due to the stringing OF
wires and the settlement Of the state.
A few years ago there were not enough
people in the state for Lightning to
strike. Heat prostrations were also
unknown and although they are not
now common few have been report
ed this year. Oregon used to boast
that case of rabies was never devel-
oped in the state. This has 10 all
probability been imported from the
east and unless precaution is taken to
stamp 1t out it will become more pre-
yalent,

THEIR EYES BELLE. THEM.
Seals Are Ferocious and Devour Live
Fish Inch by Inch.

Fish Inch by Inch.
Seals are still numerous and are dis
liked by Labrador fishermen because
their skill Is SO much greater. DR..
Grenfell says that he has known a seal
to haunt net so persistently that to
get any fish the owner had to watch
all the while at one end of it, and even
then the seal would almost snap Off
the fisherman's hand as he raced to be
first to 'disentangle the salmon.
s"The large, gentle eye makes the
seals appearance exceedingly attrac-
tive and those inclined to be sentimen-
tai have found in him a great scope for
their effusions. AS matter of fact, he
eats his prey alive. He will take bite
out of fish and leave the rest to strug-
gle away and die slowly. They are
fierce fighters and will catch and eat
birds swimming on the surface of the
water.
One was seen devouring salmon
alive. The seal swallowed him by
inches, swimming mile while the
struggle lasted. 1t seemed an open
question whether he would succeed or
not Another seal was seen to capture
a gull on the water, but the persistent
harrying he got from the rest Of the
birds persuaded him to let the wound
ed victim go.-Chicago News.
