The Old, Old Story.

Six of them were engaged In A
friendly game of nickel ante. They
had been playing for only about two
hours and the evening was yet young.
when Jones suddenly pushed back his
chair and declared:
Gee whiz, fellows! l Just hap

I'd be home by II o'clock. I'll have
to leave right now"
The members of the game were old
timers. though, and the sudden awak-
ening Of Jones conscience didn't fool
anybody. Roberts voiced the Senti-
ment Of the crowd:
"Gee, Jonesy. old hoy, I didn't know
you was that much winner.'

Sir George Trevelyan tells Of cross.
Ing the English channel once In bad
weather and that during the whole
passage his companion stood on deck
slowly reciting poetry with emphasis
and gesticuatisD. His companion
had explained that this singular prac-
tice had been recommended to hi1a as
preventive against seasickness.
When they reached France he told
Ireyeiyan that he had nearly got to
the end OF his English poetry, and If
the crossing had been longer he would
nave had to begin on other languages.
Darwin suffered terribly from seasick-
hess during the whole of his early
voyage on the Beagle, and never quite
recovered from the evil effects of this
experience. His bad health during
the rest Of his life has been attributed
70 the shocks thus caused to his con-
stitution.
Another distinguished victim Of sea-
sickness was General Gordon. Dur
ing voyage to Capetown from Maui
TITUS in 1882 he described his suffer
ing and misery as FAR more severe
than he had ever during his lifetime
experienced, either at home or
abroad" Very often he repeated his
determination to go on shore at the
very first port the vessel reached, aud
one morning. after a sleepless night
OF sickness, he called the captain to

JUST BURROWS OF ANIMALS
Mystery Of What Was Known as the
Devils Corkscrew' Has Been
Considered Solved.

come out of the mountains and plains
Of the West, few have excited wider
interest than the devils cOrkscrew,"

in northwestern Nebraska. They are
usually white, and stand out clearly
against the bluff background Of the
rock which inciOses them, often at
tanning a IClgth of IS feet, with many
twists and turns, ending at times In
large bulb, with occasional side
passages. When first discovered It
was thought that these gigantic "cork.
screws" were huge petrified vines or
roots of some strange plant. Study of
the "corkscrews," however, failed to
reveal any traces Of plant structure.
Later the skeleton of an animal like
the badger was found In a large bulb
near the end Of the "eorkScrew," and
bones Of small camel and small deer
were found in others. After that 1t
was discovered that many Of them
contained bones Of small burrOwing
animal about the size OF the western
prairie dog. Excavation Of actual re
cent prairie dog burrows, after filling
them with thin plaster Of paris,
showed an interesting fact; the bur-
rows of the prairie dog and the pre-
historic "cOrkscrewS" were closely
similar. The mystery Is considered
solved.

Sticks as Receipts.

In one of the corridors of the Brit
ish houses of parliament there is
curious exhibit which looks like bun
die OF kindling wood. 1t represents
all that is left of the account 'books"
used by the exchequer during the Mid
die ages. The bundle consists of tai
lies" notched sticks on which accounts
were kept When an account was
paid a stick was split. One-half was
kept and the other half was given
as a receipt" When the crude sys-
TEN was abandoned, and proper books
were kept. there was vast accumula-
ton Of these tallies, and early in the
last century an official had the happy
thought of saving on fuel by using
this vast hoard of tally-sticks as kind
ling wood. 1t was actually by the
Overheating of stove by using too
many Of these tally-sticks that the old
houses Of parliament caught fire in
1884 and were burned down.
