HAD THOUGHT FOR OTHERS
Second Traveller Decidedly More Con.
siderate Of His Fellows Than !
Was the First.

At the Information booth In a large
railroad terminal traveller asked for
timetable, which he looked through
until he came to the particular table
he wanted. This table he cut out with
his :pocketknife, and then he put the
booklet with this table now gone out
of it back on the counter. o..
It seemed a thoughtless thing to do
because, lying there as it did with its
outer cover smooth, somebody might
have picked it up and carried it off
thinking, naturally enough, that it was
complete, to discover it's real condi.
ton only when it was too late.
But this misfortune really befell no
one, for a moment later another trav-
eler standing near, who had seen all
this done and who was perhaps more
thoughtful than the first, picked up the
torn timetable and carried it of to
drop 1t in the nearest waste paper re-
ceptacle. '":.:- s"r

Earthquake Statistics.

It has been calculated that there oc
cur about 10000 earthquakes within q
year, or 8,760 hours, hence, that there
are on the average three and one-half
earthquakes in an hour. Fortunately,
not all earthquakes are Of q violent ma
ture, like that of A. d. 500, that killed
from 10000 to 100000 persons in the
region of the Mediterranean, or that
Of 1893, to which 10000 persons fell
victims in Sicily, or of Lisbon in 1855,
and those that devastated Chile, Peru
and Japan. OF great frequency are
the minor earthquakes. In fact, our
so-called firm earth can be said to be
in a state of perpetual agitation. Our
senses do not perceive the slight dis.
turbances, but the seismograph, very
delicate and ingenious apparatus de-
vised to keep track of them, furnishes
all the information denied to us by our
natural insensibility. They often fur
nish us too much of it in the excess
of their zeal, recording sometimes as
seismic. phenomena vibrations that
later proved to have been due to the
ringing of church bells. -.

Privileges Of the Poor.

put the most fearful calamity on like
cloak and doff it at will, who can
augment their families, to, seven: or
eight children overnight; and reduce
them as readily to five or six on the
following day if it but seem to them
advisable? Where outside their ranks
is there anyone capable of ipersuadihg
you that it is a privilege to sleep cold
so that some Darius you never saw or
care to, see shall, he had his allegori-
cal mule, go better warmed? Who
else, being neither Of your kith. nor
kin, has such power over you that,

Of the shoulders, they can turn your

l6AK WAY TO EVIL SPIRITS.
EMalayoians Believe, Mountains Wero
Placed to Shut Out Strange
Race Of YajuE

~ In the lak bungalow at KWala Kubu
in Malayasia) the Chinatoy chowki-
dar, queue in pocket, shod in. shoes of
Silent felt, served my breakfast. i was
ar last on the threshold Of a strange
expedition in land to which no letter
ever came correctly addressed, so un-
known was it to the outside world. At
this moment the strangest thing in
sight was my breakfast. It consisted
chiefly Of tins of tiny Monaghan fnches
-humn1ing birds in size, squads in
taste-carned dozen in tin.
As I devoured the pitiful little birds,
bones and all, looked up at the
great Malay mountain range, the back
bone Of the finger peninsula which
stretches southwark from Siam to
within sight Of the bund of Singapore
itself. Mountains, SO the Malays say,
are the wall Of the world, shutting out
great winds and beasts of prey. And
they believe that a strange race-the
Yajuj are forever striving to bore
through, and wien they succeed, then
will come the end of all things.
The great limestone caves scattered
throughout the mountains are places
where the Yajuj have attempted and
failed. There is nothing impossible or
unbelievable in all this, when one
comes to know Malay mountains in
all their weirdness.-William Beebe, in
the Atlantic Monthly.

SLEPT While. GUNS ROARED
Charles Francis Adams Told Of Talt>
Ing a Nap on Hillside During
Pickett's Charge.

In the campaigns Of both Antietam
and Gettysburg was an officer in a
regiment Of cavalry, a mere subor-
dinate, responsible only for obedience
to orders.
At Gettysburg July 8 the division to
which we belonged occupied the high,
partly wooded ground on the right Of
the line, covering the enemy's flank
and rear. It was a bright July day,
hot, and with white clouds slowly roll
ing across the sky. Neither our lines
nor those of the enemy We're visible
to us; and the sounds of battle were
hushed. Waiting for orders and for
action, we dismounted, out of regard
for our horses as we'll as for ourselves,
and sat or lay on the turf.
Injured to danger by contact long and
close and thoroughly tired in body and
overwrought in mind we listened for
the battle to begin; and shortly after
noon the artillery opened. We did not
know it, for we could see nothing in
that direction, but it covered the IA
nous advance of Pickett's Virginia d.
vision upon Meade's center-that
wonderful feat of arms-and just
then, lulled by the incessant roar of
the cannon, while the fate of the
army and the nation trembled in the
balance, at the very crisis of the great
conflict, I dropped quietly asleep. 1t
was not heroic, but it was essentially
war.-From the Autobiography O.
Charles Francis Adams.
