Oddly DAMAGED,

In the opinion of M. C. Mason Grit
fin he was greatly Inundated in Wash.
ington recently by members of a the
atrical troupe forcing kisses on him
as he sat with his wife watching the
performance. The kissing was appar-
emily part Of plan to create laughter
by revealing blushing, bashful man
to the audience. Griffin brought suit
for $1,000 against the theater man
agement in consequence.
A suit was brought against an old
New York stage company by a pas
senger who complained that he had
been insulted by the driver calling
down from his seat outside that no
ought to get up and give woman \
seat. The driver protested his inno-
cence and it was only after a we'll
known ventriloquist of the period
came forward at the trial and de-
clared he had thrown his voice 80 a.
to make it appear that the driver ad-
dressed the aggrieved passenger that
the suit was dropped. Then the pas
senger declared he would sue the ven
triloquist, but was dissuaded from do.

Armchair Out of Orange Barrel.

This is a funny sort of life, writes
a soldier at the front.
At present five of us are doing u
best to live comfortably in a newly
built house. 1t has had all the win
dows blown out by shrapnel, and we
have had to use old sacking to keep
the draft out.
We have punched some holes in a
pail, and this makes a fine brazier for
burning charcoal in. We use the bot
tom of a petrol tin with the sides
turned up for a frying pan, IN old
pail for a teapot and kettle, and
saucepan, and sundry other things all
in one.
For a table we have two bacon box
es with wood across the top, and
for chairs we use any old box we can
find.
When l get back home l think I
shall set up as a furnishing company,
and advertise that l can furnish a
house IN sever cents.
There is a chap behind me making
armchairs out of orange barrels, and
he is making a most internal row.
He has already cut himself four times,
and threatens to chuck it if he cuts
himself again.

SEEKS TRACES OF LOST RACE
New Yorker is Investigating Fate of
Arawak Indians, Who Once
PeOpled Jamaica.

When in 1894, on his second voyage,
Columbus discovered the island of ia
maica, it was populated by the Ara
wax Indians, who although at first
hostile to him, became friendly on his
giving them clothing and other arti-
cles hitherto unknown to them.
When, later, the Spaniards settled the
island, they forced the Indians not
only to do agricultural work in their
own island, but to labor in the gold
mines of Hayti. So hard were the
Spanish taskmasters that by 1903 the
whole Arawak nation was eXtermin-
ated. During the last six years G.
C. Longley of Pelham manor, in New
York, has been seeking to recove all
possible traces of the lost race. To
that end he has spent the winter on
the island in exploring the old kitchen
middens, or refuse heaps, of the Ara
walks, in which he has found, besides
shells and pottery, and fish, turtle and
cony bones, many celts, or rude CHS
els, grinding stones, stone pendants,
and axes-1,500 objects in all. The
whole collection he has given to the
American museum of natural history
in New York city. To the anthropol-
ogist, says the Youths Companion,
the most interesting objects are the
cylindrical stone pendants, which were
fashioned with sand and stone by end
less rubbing. Pendants of exactly
the same sort are worn today as in
sigma of office by chiefs or headmen
of tribes in northern South America.

MYSTERY OF A BIG PISTOL
Probability That Weapon Found I'm
der Surratt House May Have
Belonged to Booth.

One of the numerous letters re-
ceived by the Rambler in connection
with his recent account of a trip over
part of the route which John Wilkes
Booth and David Herold followed in
their flight from Washington after
the assassination of Lincoln has come
from Miss Irene Milstead. She tells
of the finding of an old pistol under
the Surratt house, at Surrattsvillc.
Firearms were hidden in the Surratt
tavern, but it is believed that those
which were stored there to be used,
presumably by the abductors of Pres
ident Lincoln, were taken from the
place by Booth and Herold when they
stopped there at about midnight in
their flight from Washington.
Miss Milstead says: "About nine
teen years ago the old house at Sur
rattsville was either rebuilt or remod-
eled, or, at any rate, part of it was
orr down, and under it was found an
old pistol. After reading your article
in the Star l wondered if there could
be any possibility of the pistol having
been hidden by Booth or his compan-
ions. 1t has been in my possession
ever since it was found. 1t is a very
large pistol of the Beale make and
seems to have been made in 1867

FAR EAST AFFECTED BY WAR
Conflict in Europe Has Made Condi-
tions Bad in Both the Great ORR
entail Empires.

Father NJ. C. Gleason, chaplain U.
S. N, who has been on duty three
years with the flagship Saratoga, on
the Asiatic station, stopped at New
York on his way to Washington to
report for a new assignment.
II left the Saratoga at Olongapo
and caught the Siberia at Manila"
said Father Gleason. Everything
was quiet in the Philippines. About
the most exciting thing | saw during
the three years was the bombardment
of Marking during the second rebel
lion. And, do you know, the Chinese
artillery surprised the foreign naval
observers with the precision of their
firing on that occasion. Disturbed
conditions in China have been respon-
sible for our spending so much time
at Shanghai.
"The war in Europe has affected
everything. The various merchants
l have met in China tell me business
is very bad. The country had two
years of bad times owing to revolu-
tions, and then just as there seemed
hope ahead the European war started,
and that was a heavy setback.
"In Japan l was told that the tour
list business, usually such a large
source of revenue in the winter and
spring, had by no means come up to
expectations. The Americans who
were expected to go to the far East
when the doors of Europe were prac-
tically closed apparently remained in
their own country"

The Law of Advertising.

James R. Garfield of Cleveland, son
of the late President Garfield, told
one of the editors of the American
Magazine the following story about
travelling in 1878 as a boy with his
father, who was campaigning. One
night, after a speech in Michigan,
young Garfield said to his father:
"Why do you repeat so much? Do you
know you said the same things sever
al times tonight? Do you know that
you said the same things tonight that
you said this afternoon in Detroit 2"
General Garfield made this reply:
"You happen to be an especially in
terested party and notice these repe-
titions. Others do not. I repeat the
same statements deliberately in order
that people may finally get them.
Anything that l want an audience to
get and remember l repeat several
times-in somewhat different form
perhaps. This practice | developed
out of my experience which has shown
me that peoples attention is distract
ed in various ways and that a first
or second statement may not really
get to them. You must insist on an
idea or fact if you want to get any
where with it."-American Magazine.

DEATH PENALTY FOR FAILURE
New Guinea "Sorcerer" Apparently
Recognized Justice of the Sem
tence Imposed on Him.

Not long since, in al inland village
in New Guinea, a certain mother-ln-
law fell i'll. A puri-puri man was
fetched to her aid from a neighboring
village. Could the puri-puri man cure
the mother-in-law? Oh, yes, the puri
puri man could surely cure the moth
er-in-law! The puri-puri man must
have, however, as a fee for the cure,
a dog and a pig. 1t was a bargain.
The dog and the pig passed into the
possession of the sorcerer and he set
confidently to work. 1t was testified,
in the course of the trial which pres
emily came on, that the sorcerer, who
was by this time the deceased in the
case, had "made a few passes" owe
the mother-in-laW and returned to his
village.
"Now, my good woman" said he,
upon departing, you will get WE'LL"
This was not so.
81 called you to attend my mother
in-law?" demanded the son-in-law,
when next the sorcerer came.
Il was admitted.
81 paid you a dog and a pig?"
"You did"

CONSERVATION of the sorcerer.
Every well, them" declared the SON
in-law. Gas l paid you a dog and a
pig to cure my mother-in-law, and
as YOU did not cure her, l am going
to kill you"
T%hereupon the s~on-in-law went off
with two friends in search of wea-
pons. Witnesses of what followed
told the magistrate before whom the
ease was tried that the sorcerer made
no attempt to escape-that he calmly
awaited the inevitable event. Pres
emily the avengers returned. The
son-in-law grievously speared the
sorcerer; and the misunderstanding
conntenance and aid-dispatched him
with their stone clubs. Not one of
these men-declares the magistrate
could be persuaded that they had done
anything out of the way. Had the
sorcerer not been paid a dog and a
pig for his medicine? And had not
his cure failed? And was he not a
sorcerer, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Duncan,

Viennese operetta entitled "The Blue
Paradise" with a cast of 125 people
including Cecil Lean, the featured
player. After the engagement in
Atlantic City, which includes per-
formances this Friday and Saturday
evenings and Saturday matinee, the
new piece goes to New York for a

of "The Blue Paradise" is Leo Stein,
who is responsible for "The Merry
Widow" and like this famous opera
"The Blue Paradise" was first produ-
ced abroad where it attained as much
vogue as 1.-THE Merry Widow" The
music is by Edmund Eysler. Edgar

BLANK PERIOD IN HISTORY
Missing Part of Earth's Record of
Which Biologists Can Find Not
the Least Trace.

New details are continually being
added by biologists to the known his
tory of the earth, including the devel-
opment of plants and animals. How
ever that history, which is recorded
in the rocks, is still fragmentary, like
a badly mutilated book. One of the
great defects in the record in the At
lantic and Gulf costal plain regions
of this country is the absence of the
later part of the Cretaceous and the
early part of the Eocene chapter
perhaps eight to ten million years
ago. A report recently issued by the
geological survey discusses this miss
ing part of the record and shows
that the break must cover a long per-
iod of time. 1t is known that at that
time the continents were at least as
large as and probably larger than they
are now and the oceans were accord
ingly smaller. Any rocks that were
then formed in the sea seem to have
been weathered and washed away.
Hundreds of kinds of plants and
animals that lived before and hun
dreds that lived after this great per
iod are known, but not n which
lived during the period. Strange to
say, few if any of the species which
existed before the unknown period
lived through it. In each of the
states bordering the Atlantic ocean,
south of New York and the Gulf of
Mexico, are layers of rock which were>
formed before and after the period
whose record is missing. In these
layers are entombed sea shells of
many kinds, but apparently not n
species lived through from Cretace-
Gus to Eocene time.

LOSE THEIR MENTAL poIsE
Surgeons With the French Army Have
to Cope With Soldiers "Hyp-
nOsis of Battle"

Surgeons with the French army de-
scribe a peculiar mental condition
called 'hypnosis of battle" which they
have noticed in soldiers who have
been in action. The hypnotic state
lasts from two or three days to a
week, and even longer. Then con
seriousness suddenly returns.
The victim is incapable of walking
unless pushed or led by the hand, but
when placed on h~issfeet stands erect
and ~motionless, with the head bent
forward and eyes half closed. He can
not be awakened, but is not in a state
of coma. In some instances a condi-
ton of hallucinatory delirium APP
pears when verbal inquiry is made of
the patient as to his experiences in
the battle.
The hypnosis is met with ~oftenest
in young men from the cities. Fatig-
ue and the lack of food incident to
long marches, or failure of the provis-
ion trains to reach the men. are the
chief p~redisposing causes. Fear due
to some very trying experience in bat
tie or to being held under fire without
orders to move usually precipitate the
outbreak of the disease.
A great number of new mental and
nervous diseases have been produced
by what is known as "shell Shock"
that is the effect of the passage or
bursting of a shell near a man with
out doing him visible physical injury.
Among the results of she'll shock no.
ted have been reduction of vision,
loss of hearing, loss of smell, loss of
taste, loss of memory and paralysis of
various physical functions.

For Parallax Investigation.

The last annual report of the ob-
servatory of Yale university des-
cribes the new instrument for parallaX
investigation now being installed ct
the observatory to replace the six
inch heliometer heretofore used for
such observations. 1t consists of a
Photographic telescope of fifteen inch
es aperture and fifty feet focal length,
to be mounted parallel to the earth's
axis of rotation. Lights from the ce-
lestial bodies will be reflected on the
lens from a thirty-inch silver-on-gla-s
mirror, carried by an equatorial
mounting. This mirror will also di-
rect the rays of light to another lens
of ten inches aperture, mounted close
beside the Photographic lens and hav-
ing it as the objective of the guiding
telescope. The star images in the
field will, of course, revolve about the
axis of the lens, and means have been
provided for rotating the photograph
ic plate-carrier at the rate of the
earth's diurnal rotation.

INDEPENDENCE ON THE FARM
In Many Ways No More Enjoyable
Employment is Offered to Those
With Ambition.

Farming is a most profitable en-
.ployment. No business offers so much
independence. The farmer is his own
master. The thoughtful farmer plans
his own work and infoms lhimself
about the most scientific methods.
Farming is work that requires and
cultivates intelligence. The day is
past when a youth untitled for any,
thing is thought good enough for a
farm. A farmers work is in the sun
shine, the pure air and invigorating
winds. He is not cooped up among
brick walls, with only narrow aper-
lures from which he may get glimps-
es of the sky. The farmer Of today
can have all the conveniences enjoyed
luxuries ~unattainable by the city lar
In farming there is a wide scope for
ambition. There is opportunity for
a man with bare hands and empty
pockets to begin as a laborer and at
tain a competence and position in
which he may take a just pride. In
telligent labor is needed as in any
other business. Wide miles of land
in our country still allure the seeker
for a home. Get back to the soil and
gain in strength of body and charac-
ter. When your school days are past,
think of what the farm offers. No
business offers more to the man who
has no special employment than agri-
culture. To get in touch with the old
earth and know the value of the soil
beneath your feet is to gain in self
respect and feel nearer to God.-Mil-
Waukee Journal.
