Chaplin Tonight at Tulane-"The

and in several instances its fun is de-
cided enough to justify it being
termed an uproarious two-reel comedy.
In "The Fireman" the comedian, whose
distinctive acting has won him such
popularity, brings to bear all
the funny nannerisms and tricks for
which he is noted. He includes a little
of the serious" acting he does so we'll

well. 1t is not unusual for comedy
to travel well toward the end of the

naturally to its mirth. But the first
few scenes of '"The Fireman" mark
the beginning of the fun which con-
tinues through to the end.

EucIid's Lost Books.

"I was very much amused at the comment of q young friend who recent ly went ur against the board of exam inerS for the naval service" said a Philadelphia man. Speaking of the questions in geometry which were pro- pounded to thc boys, this youngster said in q dry way:
 "iIistory tells Us that the old dis coverer of the science of geometry, Euclid. who lived 300 years before Christ. wrote something like twenty books. which he called "Elements," and that of this number seven were lost. The examining board of the marine corps has found those books, for the questions it put to us two weeks ago clearly demonstrated that it dug up some theOremS which had not been seen in the last 2,000 years "-Pitts- burgh Dispatch.

Checkers.

The German name for the game of checkers or daughts is "damenbrett"- ladies' board-probably "damen" for short. Some form of dame" Is used in almost every country where the game is played, except the English speaking countries, and the Scots still speak of the "dambrod" Danes" was the name in England for a time, and we find it in an English book to- ward the end of Elizabeth's reign. The first use of the word draughts in existing literature is about HOO. At q later day checkers" became another name, and this went to America with the early English emi@rants and there became the usual name. In England in the sixteenth century the game had three names-"dames," 'draughts" and checkers" At an earlier period "checll- eric" "chekar." etc, had been English names for chess.-London Mirror.

 "Jones," said he as the sexton ap- preached the pulpit, 'open a couple of windows on each side of the church, please"
 Beg your pardon, sir,' returned the sexton, with look of surprise. Did windows?"
 "Yes," was the cold, hard rejoinder of the minister. "It is not healthy to sleep with the windows shutr'

The latter is seriously ill and death hourly ex. pected at this writing. MT. Bottum leaves three children, G. A. Bottum, Gloversviile, N. Y.; Clara M. Bottum and c. W.

snaiIs Are Queer Creatures.

The snail is found everywhere, over 5000 species being known. Some of the large tropical snails. as bulimas. form nests of leaves, their eggs being as large as q pigeons. The snail is ex- tremely skillful in mending its shell, and some curious experiments may be made with them. Thus I have seen a helix of yellow species attached to another shell of a reddish hue by cut ting off the top whorl of the latter, when the snail will proceed to weld the two shells together and occupy both, using the addition as a door and possibly wondering at this sudden eX- tension of it's house. In the winter some of the snails hibernate or lie dor mant until warm weather. A snail of the Philippine Islands has a faculty of throwing off its tail when seized. This is also true of West Indian variety, stenophus.-LondOn Telegraph.

The Founding of Frankfort.

me TSIi'Nt4tlJ VT TIahNToFIs
 The beautiful German commercial city Of Frankfort on the Main is said to have had q curious origin. . When the Emperor Charlenagne contended with the SaXons the for tunes of war were often against him. On one occasion he was forced to retire along the banks of the Main. At the time there was thick fog, and he was unable to find his ship or any place where his army could cross.
 He was almost in despair when a doe, carrying young one, sprang from a thicket in alarm, leaped into the stream and swan over. Charlemagne followed the example and crossed at the same place. The fog concealed the army, which escaped detection.
 When the emperor reached the shore he stuck his spear into the earth and exclaimed:
 Here shall a city arise, to be called Frankenfordr'
 In consequence of crossing the stream he overthrow the Saxons. He then built the town, which afterward became the scene of imperial corona tions and later of great commercial mportance.-London Answers.

RepeIling Fire With a Drum.

A fire of strange nature appeared in Wales ill 1893. According to the most intelligible account concerning it now in existence, it came up from the sea near Harlech. At several places near that place and all over Merioreth- shire it did much damage, burning hay, houses, barns, etc. A person writing of it said: ''The grass over which it moves kills all manner of cattle that feed upon it. But what is most remarkable is that any great noise, such as the beating of a drum or sounding a horn, effectually repels 1t from any house."
