Rout Of the Money Germ.

One OF the marks OF the amateur

habit OF wetting his fingers with his
tongue This has long given experts
the tidgets and has caused general
installation OF sponge cups. 1t is not
a tidy act nor fair to look upon. While
not distressful, It has been classed as
u waste OF natural resources which
might be conserved against the ad.
hesion of couple of hundred stamps
Now, however. DIR. Rucker lof the

the danger OF infection is so slight as
to be hardly calculable. It appears
that the ink which the notes are print

SELF-lMPOSED TORTURE

An extraordinary scene was wit.
messed in Calcutta recently. when a
small trolley. studded with rows OF
iron spikes, on which a Hindu was
lying at full length was being pulled
through the streets. A large crowd
was following. Inquiries ELECTED the
information that the man was doing
penance. and was on his way to the
temple OF the goddess Kali. at Kali.
CHAT. The Hindu had been several
days on the journey. and was in a ter,
rible condition.
The spikes. which numbered abou,
$50. were quite sharp. and the man
wore only a loin cloth. He must have
been suffering acute pain from the
fact that his body was bruised and
lacerated all over as a result OF lying
on the sharp nails. Neither the police
nor any passerby made any attemp,
to stop the self.imposed torture.

OLD SLAVE MARKET

In the middle OF the principal thor.
oughfare OF the town OF Louisville
ia. stands one OF the most historic
little structures in America. the old
slave market. Louisville was the first
permanent capital Of Georgia. and the
old slave market was erected soon
after the first government buildings
we're built in 1856.
The planters in the neishborhood
we're large slave owners. some OF
them old soldiers. who were given
extensive tracts OF land for service in
the war with England. and the erec.
tion Of such building can be readily
understood was almost 4 necessity In
this remote period Of our history.
The best quality OF post oak was
used In this structure, and now, after
standing long past the century mark
1t is in perfect preservation. Indeed
II Is difficult to even drive a nail into
the tough fbers Of the old wood.
While the old slave market serves
no practical purpose. it is an inter

few, II not the only one OF Its kind

ROMANCE OF A JEWEL

A jewel with most romantic his.
tory was exhibited at the Royal So

priceless ornament OF carnelian. lapis
lazuli. and turquoise. and was made
by order Of the Pharaoh OF Egypt 3,400
years before the birth OF Christ. 1t
was given by the monarch to one OF
his favorites. and when the latter died
1t was buried with him in his tomb.
Some years afterwards the tomb
was entered by thief. who was about
TO steal the precious gem when the
heavy slabs that formed Its roof fell
on him and killed him. In the course
Of centuries all traces Of this ancient
tomb were lost. and as a result OF fire.

under the sand. II was excayated,
however, last March by Prof. Flinders

in the act OF stealing the Jewel was
found and told Its own story, and the
beautiful gem was brought to England.
1t is worth a fortune.
