Fam Too Much for liner.

to the zoo.
There it caused 50 much annoyance
that it was decided to give it to the
great tiger of lie collection. The tiger
was SO ferocious that its food was let
down through a sliding grating in the
roof of its cage. The ram was
lowered down. The tiger, doing in
one corner, saw the ram descend and,
rising, began to stretch himself The
ram, not knowing he was intended to
be food for the big beast, supposed
the stretching was the signal for a
fight
Stepping nimbly back to the farthest
corner Of the cage, it put down its
head and went straight at the tiger.
and in a few minutes butted it to
death.

OId-Fashioned Beauty Sleep.

When you go to bed-if you are
looking for beauty sleep-you should
fall asleep right away. The beauty
sleeper, the one who wakes up look
ing refreshed, will fall asleep the min
ute her head touches the pillow. She
will fall into a slumber, heavy and
dreamless, and she will waken in the
morning of her own accord.
The old-fashioned idea of the beauty
sleep was the sleep that comes before
II o'clock Every hour passed in sleep
before midnight made woman
younger, according to the old-fashioned
idea Of the beauty sleep. After IL
the sleep is heavy and not SO good for
the nerves. being less invigorating and
less strengthening. According to a
certain specialist, sleep after II is the
sleep of exhaustion"

The Bath.

George c. Boldt, the doyen Of the
bookkeeping world, said in New York:
1T is now the excellent fashion,
and this fashion will be permanent
to build hotels with a bath for every
bedroom.
Il remember the time-of course,
was then very young-when baths
were not so necessary. In fact, once
overheard little boy say to his father
in hotel corridor:
Pa, what are Knights Of the Bath?'
why, Saturday nights, of course
the father replied.
Another time we put rich cid
lady from the country-this, too, wos
ages ago-in our best room. room
with bath.
THE room clerk asked her In the
morning how she had slept. She hid
yawn behind her hand and answered:
THE bed was good, and I'd have
slept fine, young man, only was
afraid somebody would be wanting
bath, and the idea of strangers passing
back and forth through my room wor-
ried me SO l just couldn't snatch
wink"

WHAT THE JURY DIDN'T KNOW
If They Had, Appeal to Their Sympa-

Effective.

The great advocate-let us call him
Mr.. McSweeney-wa defending a
man in a murder case. The case looked
hopeless. and insolvency submitted
no evidence for the defense. So the
public prosecutor, believing that con-
viction was assured, ended with just
few perfunctory remarks.
Then, In quiet, conversational tone,
the famous insolvency began to talk
to the Jury. He made no mention of
the murder He just described in vivid
colors, a pretty country cottage hung
with honeysuckles, young wife pre-
pairing supper, and the rosy young
sters waiting at the gate to greet their
father on his return home for the eve
ming meal. Suddenly insolvency
stopped, he drew himself up to his
full height Then, striking the table
with his fist, he cried, in voice that
thrilled every bosom:
Gentlemen, you must send him
back home to them,'
A red-faced Juror choked, and blurt
ed out:
"By George, sir, we'1l do iti'

At Czuchow, in the coal field of
upper Silesia, is the deepest we'll in
the world. 1t has reached a depth of
over 7,34S feet, a trife under a mile
and half below the surface. America
has three wells ranking next in order
That near Mcdonald, Pa, some ten
miles southeast of Pittsburgh, is $3.50
feet deep; one in Putnam Heights,
Conn, is 6,004 feet deep, and one now
being bored at Derrick City, Pa, has
reached the depth of $500 feet. AL
though each of these wells is over a
mile in depth, little that is new in

CHANCE OF HIS LIFE.

When the South Fork dam broke
and sent its famous ''wall of water
flying down the VALLEY TO engulf
JOhnstOwn it snuffed out more than
1000 lives. Besides that, it put of
business completely a section of
Americas leading trunk line rail-
road.
A young man, originally from
Philadelphia, with 20 squads OF
workmen, each containing 20 hardy
laborers with picks and shovels,
was sent there to repair the dam
age. He must have been hand
some youth, for he is handsome now,
% years after that event.
This young engineer had been
educated at the West Point Military
Academy, and he still walks with
the erectness of soldier. 1t was
the hardest possible test for the
grit, industry and skill OF rail-
road man, but he did that first big
job he was assigned to do so re-
markatly well, that Robert Pitcairn,
then high official in Pittsburg,
asked TO have him pernantly
as igned to his division of the
Pennsylvania railroad
Several days ago | met this man
in the Union League and mentioned

THAT said he, twas the chance
of lifetime for any young fellow.

kAVAJ0S FEAR THE DEAD.

One practice OF the Navajos that
! pro: otes health among them, how
ever repugna it may be for us,
Is their disposition Of the dead. In
| the presence Of the living the
NavaJos is without fear, but his
terror of the dead is abject and IN
reasoning. The dead are bslieve Il
to be possessed OF malevoleht teeI-
ines toward the Survivors, with un-
limited powers tor working evil
upon the Sc who carelessly place
themselves within power of the
spirits.
So when any one dies the only
anxiety of the surviving relatives
is to get rid of the body as quickly
as possible. If there are any white
men living in the neighborhcod an
effort is made to induce them to
perform the offices of undertaken.
If not, The disposition of the body
depends somewhat upon circum-
stances. If tie hogan-the modern
wigwam is built OF wood it is set
on fire and burned with the body
in it. If OF stone the body is
usually taken outside, the entrance
to The hogan closed up with stones
or sticks and hole made in the
wall opposite to permit the evil
spiIiis to depart and to warn pass
shy that the structure belongs to
the dead.
If the death occurred in rocky
country the body will likely be
taken to some crevlce ard thrown
in 1t. Ii may e left uncovered to
become the prey OF wolves and
coyotes, or sticks and stones may
be cast'over t. II the family lives
in sandy part Of the reservation,
with no conveeient crevices or
cham near by, The body will be
laid upon the sand, a little earth
and some stones thrown Upon it,
and pile of brush lald over all.

Trvino to Explain His Humility.

'My nephew, Adrian Ames, was the
most humble and obsequious man
ever saw" stated old Timrod Tarpy.
HE seemed to feel responsible for the
weather if it was disagreeable and
was always apologizing for things for
which he was in nowise to blame In
fact, he was so meek and subservient
and obfuscated and servile that peo-
pie used to ask me whether he was
married or just nacher'ly born that
way."-Kansas City Star.

PLAY CAGE for Baby.

Take two high-backed dining room
chairs, set with front of seats togeth-
er. This leaves the backs at each
end. Then measure the sides of the
two chairs and make a light frame OF
that size, to which tack small wire
fencing. Tie frame at top and bot
tom of chair posts and thus the cage
is completed. 1t can be easily put
together and taken apart at pleas
ure. Put baby in with playthings and
cushions. This keeps baby off the
floor and away from drafts. Baby
can stand or sit or even walk little
as the fancy seizes him. Baby will
be delighted and so will his mama.

neueInnnent Of OIL Wells.

Instead Of exploding nitroslycerine
In the recesses of the earth to increase
the flow of oil wells a more recent
method has been employed by com-
dressed air The compressed air is
used upon the theory that if the origi>
nal rock pressure is put back upon
the rock the flow of oil through it will
be held constant or greatly increased.
Thus, as the oil is exhausted. the lost
pressure is continuously restored by
pumping vast quantities of air down
into the inner earth. The new method
has been so successfully worked as to
give promise of general adoption
