SERVED HIM B1QHT. Retribution Which Overtook a Heart lew Editor. Sklmper had a novel newspaper ex perience In Frontlervllle. He landed In there with his outfit in a prairie schooner drawn by four mules. His ftalT consisted of a shock-headed boy that did everything from sweeping the sanctum, when the accumulation of paper and other things amounted to a blockade, to reporting the local events by word of mouth while Sklmper put them into English, says the Detroit Free Press. The town grew like a mushroom, for it became the center of a big mining boom, and money was plenty. For tunes were quickly made and it was not long before thero sprung ap a local aristocracy, based solely on a foundation of riches. Sklmper, with the true instincts of democracy, ridi culed this in a new town that had no communication with the outer world except by wagon trains and a pony ex press. The indignant women raised a crusade against him and it was not long until his advertising patronage dwin dled to less than a starvation revenue. Sklmper was game and swore that he would sink with his colors flying. He found his chance for sweet revenge Just as he realized that he must give up the fight and seek for pastures new. There was a branch of a national female or ganization in Frontlervllle, especially popular because of Its liberal contribu tions to the cause. It was invited to \he general round-up of the society at St. Louis and concluded to go in a body. Just as this was settled Skim per's paper came out with a page of summer styles, stolen from a paper ten years old. There was a great stir in the town and dressmakers were at a premium. When the Frontlersville delegation marched Into the big con vention hall, wearing antiquated bon nets. teetering crinoline and full-size bustles, propriety and fraternal feeling combined could not restrain the laugh ter. As soon as money could accom plish the transformation the styles of the visitors were brought up to date, but Sklmper was never forgiven and he took retreat in a little town as far east as the Atlantic ocean would permit. WHY SHE REFORMED. The Alarm Clock Went Off In Her Hustle. "I’to quit smuggling," admitted the good old lady who Is prone to consult her conscience and look upon the laws of men as the outgrowth of fallible Judgment and of political prejudices says the Detroit Free Press. “If I can get my laces and jewelry and my dress goods for less money In the Dominion of Canada than I can here, I regard It as my right to do so. But one experi ence with the revenue officers madt them watchful of me and now I do my shopping on this side rather than be subjected to the annoyance of their sur veillance. T had gradually grown In to the habit of getting my silks wool ens, seal goods and diamonds In Wind sor. In fact, I bought nearly very thing over there that I could get at a reduction and conceal about my person. One afternoon when I was there I found the daintiest and prettiest and cheapest little alarm clock that 1 had ever seen. We needed such an article In the house, and, after being assured that It was a good timekeeper and to be depended upon to wake us at any desired time, I bought it At that time bustles were a good deal larger than we wear them now and I had no trouble In conceal ing my purchase. I also had about my person several articles of silverware se cured at a bargain, and a beautiful lit tle diamond ring for a favorite niece. The Canadian officials at th9 landing knew me and bowed pleasantly. On this side I felt perfectly secure be cause I had been engaged in Individual smuggling for years and no one had over asked me a question. As I step pod to the dock one of the deputies lifted his hat and began to examine th<* basket of some poor woman who was landing. Out of curiosity I awaited the result, but right In the midst of the investigation there was a bur-r-r and a whlr-r-r-r that made me faint. My alarm clock had proclaimed Itself. I Was caught redhanded, and they said they were letting me off easy when they confiscated the goods. That's the only reason that I ceased to smug gle." WALK ON HOT STONE*. A Cnrlpaa and Revolting Custom Among tho Fijians. Fijian feet can endure more tenible contact than the blow of a hard-hit cricket ball. There is a Fijian tribe, says the London Daily News, which might make a fortune of any entre preneur enterprising enough to bring them to civilized k.odv. They are cull ed the firewalkers. About once a year they give on the Island of M’uya, about twenty-two miles from Sava, the Fijian capital, what must be one of the most extraordinary exhibitions in the world. In a forest glade about a quarter of a mile from the shore a hole is dug in the ground about twenty-five feet wide and six feet deep. Flat stones are spread over its bottom and wood piled on tnem and set alight. When the stones are red-hot the burning logs are dragged away, the stones carefully made to lie as evenly as possible and all flames extinguished. A party of tribesmen, garlanded with green leaves, then descend into the pit and deliber ately walk over the glowing stones In procession. Their bare feet are not burned or even made hot The display takes place under the eyes of specta tors, native and European. This year a steamer was actually advertised in Australia to take visitors to witness the spectacle.

CET THEIR TIPS FROM CROOKS llauk f>m lnl« Take Mean* l» I'ro'rcl Their Treaxore from Thieve*. | It is said by a police official at city j hall headquarters that some of the city j banks, whose hoard of surplus cash i has been increasing largely of late, have been experimenting with an ex pedient long in use by the Bank of England officials of paying known crooks for information of any contem plated raid upon their vaults. The Bank of England's first experiment of | this kind dates f; i 1850, when the direetc:s cf the bank listened to a start.:. 5 propcsiMtn made by a "ditch j digger." The laborer told the directors that he had discovered a new and un suspected method of getting into the cellar vaults, where the gold and sil ver bars were kept, and that he wou.d I sell his secret to them for money. The directors hesitated, believing that they had taken every precaution against loss ficm the vaults in putting up heavy masonry, with plenty of iron bars, and by manning the building with armed watchmen. But finally they granted the man, who Eeemed to talk fairly, a chance to try hi3 plan, and a night was named for the undertaking. At the appointed time a committee of the directors descended to the cellar and heard a peculiar scratching sound under their feet. Two hours later the floor oponed and the ditch digger bobbed up serenely, like the evil spir its in the spectacular drama. All around them lay Lars of precious metal, totaling in value £3,000,000. The man explained satisfactorily how it was done and as a reward the direc tors assured him an income from life on an investment of $10,000. The crook was content and it is believed he remained honest ever afterward. But other cracksmen were tempted by his luck to try the same game and the directors were inundated with sugges tions and tips on new methods of bur glary and how to prevent them. Among other things, they paid $20,000 for a process, invented by a young chemist, for copying the ink, paper, water marks and designs of the bank notes bo perfectly as to defy detection. The directors found they could use his sys tem more satisfactorily and more profitably than their own In the pro duction of their currency. Despite the fact that these expenditures have run up Into big figures in the last halt century the directors of today say that all the money was well Invested. FAMOUS OLD CLOCK. That for 010 Years Has Rug netted the City of Kouen. Rouen, one of the principal cities of France, and the great seat of its cotton manufacture, possesses the oldest pub lic clock in the world. The great Rouen clock has held its place in that city for 510 years and Is the pride of its citizens. Placed in 1389, It has been running without interruption from that day to thiB, requiring nothing except cleaning and a few trifling repairs of Us accessory parts. The great clock had so accustomed the citizens of Rouen to look upon its exactitude as a matter of course, that when, in 1572, the breaking of a wire prevented its sounding 5 o'clock one morning, the population was in a state of consterna tion. The magistrates summoned the custodian—Guillaume Petit—and re monstrated gravely with him. Until 1712 the great clock had no pendulum. For 328 years it had no other regulator than a “follot," an apparatus unknown to the majority of modern clockmak ers. The pendulum in clockwork was introduced in 1669, but so well satis fied were the people of Rouen with the time-keeping qualities of their famous old clock that 53 years were allowed to pass before a pendulum was substi tuted for the “follot.” Equipped with this new apparatus it has continued to this day to strike the hours and chime the quarters. St. Winifred** Well to lie Protected. Mr. Justice Byrne has thrown the protecting ermine over the High Court of Justice over St. Winifred's Well, in England, and declines to allow the water of the famous fountain—which is supposed to be endowed with mirac ulous powers quite as wonderful as any in the Grotto of Lourdes—to be bottled and ticketed for home and for eign consumption, like soda water or lemonade. The High Court of Justice did not exhibit the bottling of Wini fred’s mixture out of any churlish de sire to keep her benefactions for the select few, but simply because the ripa rian owners of the stream fed from the spring object to be depilved of their quantum of water to enrich the local board, who wished to sell it fur their own pecuniary profit. The-.e owners had enjoyed the rivulet fio:n time immemorial, and preferred its contents to a collection of useless sur gical appliances. His lordship held that, although the board were the cus todians of the well, they had no right to carry off its miraculous watei3. which must remain in situ. Those who wish cures must get them on the spot. An injunction preventing any in terference with Winifred was accord ingly granted. Soma Mythology. Detroit Journal: When the maiden in the old Teutonic myth saw the dragon approach, she was much terri fied. “Are you going to devour me?” she shrieked, clasping her hands agon izedly. “No, Maude,” replied the dragon, sarcastically, “I’m simply go ing to take your chewing gum away from you!” Whence we see that even a dragon eventually becomes tired of being asked foolish questions.

MORE ENGLISH IRON Timely Dlucovery at Kent In tlie Dover Coalfield. When the coal borirg w .3 put down at Dover about six or c..,l‘t years ago, by Mr. F. Brady, on the of the old Channel tunnel works, there were indi cations in the cores cf the presence of iron ore in the strata between 500 and COO feet from the surface. The indica tions have now proved correct, says the London Chronicle. In the course of sinking the No. 2 shaft a Led of valu able oolitic iron ore Ins Just been struck at a depth of rather less than CCO feet. The seam p. eves to be no less than twelve feet thick and probably ex tends over a great area, the quantity being practically uu.imbed. The diam eter of the shaft is twenty feet and the quantity brought to the surface ir passing through the twelve fee amounted to about 350 tom. Samo.es of the ore have been sub. ul n to ;... 1 >sls, with highly satisf e- / rasn'ls. a washed sample of the o n ’debt U.s per cent of iron. On \ •« 'Mg the coi lie’-v works today I ins— ■ n.| p consid erate bulk of the o;e i the mon ger informed me that a w ished samp'e tested at the works yielded between v nnd 60 per cent of iron. The nni’ys'1' shows that the ore is f »» f om sul phur and phosphorv.s. ’i 1 c o. c is sta‘ ed to be of much richer p: i y th.r: the Wealden ironstone, w j: Led in Ken and Sussex a century ag >. I . of. Bo. .. Dawkins, in a paper read before the British association in 1831. describe a sample obtained from the origin'/ boring. From this it appears lhat till? bed of Iron ore is identical with thar described by Blake and Hud'eston at Abbotsbury, In Dorset, where it occurs between the Kimmeridge clay above nnd the Corallian rocks below. It is also practically identical with the val liable iron ore worked for many yea ? in Westbury, Wiltshire. The ironstone presents very singular physical cha. acteristfcs. It Is composed of dar!: brown, shining grains of hydrated on Ide of iron, like millet seed, imbedded in a crystalline base, partly of cal cium and partly of iron carbonate. MORE GLACIERS THAN COLD Scientist* Found Many Natural Vloadert Up In Alaiku, Two members of E. H. Hardman’? scientific party that has been explor ing the Maskan coast for some month; past have returned to Vancouver and j bring accounts of their cruise on the | steamer Elder, which indicate that! Mr. Harriman and the scientists will return laden with many laurels. They seem to have developed a mania fat I glaciers, having visited and explored more than thirty, some of which were unknown except to natives. In one bay, not shown on the maps or charts they discovered an Immense glacier, not as large as the giant. Mi|ir, but much more grand and picturesque. The bay extends inland more than twenty miles and at a point near the glacier a sounding line of forty fathoms did not touch bottom. This inlet they named Unknown bay. It was here that the Eider maneuvering among the cakee of Ice broke from the glacier, broke a propeller blade, making it necessary tc return to Orca, where repairs were made. At the head of Disenchantment bay they found four glaciers which had never been seen before by white men In Icy bay, twenty miles across, op posite Carroll's glacier, the party dis covered a new glacier with a front ol three-fourths of a mile. This wa? named Harriman’s glacier. Observa tlons taken In the vicinity of Grand Pacific glacier showed that its ice wall had receded three miles during the 20 years that have elapsed since Muir and Reed visited the place and established their survey. The different scientist are having gratifying success in a I lines. The botanists have found sev eral new plant species and a collection o' marine species made by the party It is said, will be superior to any other in existence. Ornithologists have had phenomenal success and are able tc show new bird specimens. II i« Heart la on tlie Right SUle. Physicians in a hospital at Omaha discovered that the heart of John M Murphy, one of the inmates, lies on the right instead of the left side of hi; body. Operations were at once begur to transfer It to its proper place. M.-.r phy is accustomed to handling heavy burdens and two years ago he observed some startling change going on around his heart. The organ seemed to bf slowly crowded toward his right side In the course of a year he found hi* heart beating nearly in me center ol his body, and then it passed distinctly over to ;he right side. The doctor* performed an operation. They found his heart had been crowded out of placi as the result of the formation of pu* In the natural heart cavhy. This wai drawn off. a section of the ribs taken out and the delicate organ pressed to wards the left. It could not be moved much, but the surgeons think It will gradually return to its accustomed place. It is believed to be the only case of its kind in medical history.

As the population of the world is estimated at 1,500,000,000, and adding to the adher ents of the four great religions of the world other 53,000,000 for the thousand and one beliefs with comparatively few followers, there are left 800,000,000 people who worship strange gods or practice curious rites In lieu of religion, and who come within the definition of the “heathen,” for whose conversion large sums are collected year after year amongst the churches throughout the civilized world. The Ron** Carbon ShelL It has often been suggested that the brilliance of the sun’s disk is due to in candescent particles of carbon, and within a few years past the presence of carbon in the sun has been demonstrat ed by the spectroscope, irately Prof, ilaie, the director of the Yerkea ob servatory, has shown that there is a thin layer of carbon in the lower part of the sun’s atmosphere. It surrounds the solar globe like a luminous shell, and. under normal conditions, is prob ably not more than 500 miles above the sun’s surface. But when an eruption takes place, from beneath, the carbon layer, like all the other constituents of the solar atmosphere, is broken up and locally dispersed by the tremen dous agitation. Lar(«it American Flag*. George Main of this city in 1855 or '56 made the biggest specimen of the Stars and Stripes ever manufactured, which was flung to the breeze at a reception to President Franklin Pierce. The democrats of Concord were bound to “beat the record,” and hired Mr. Main to make for them a flag 120 feet long by 90 feet wide, containing 1,200 yards of bunting. It was hung across Main street, between the state house yard and a building on whose site the New Hampshire savings bank block now stands. Mr. Main made 85,000 worth of flags for the Pierce and Bu chanan campaigns.—Concord Patriot Monkey* Escape. Two monkeys have escaped from their cage In the garden of the Bull and Bush hotel, Hampstead, England, and have been exploring, not only the heath near Golder’s Hill,but have also enjoyed themselves in the well-kept grounds of houses adjoining the heath. One of the animals, “Joey," got Into trouble last August, when he and three companions went out on a similar ex pedition. His companions were killed and “Joey" was wounded and captured. On being taken back to his cage his owner bought another monkey to keep him company, and it is this new com panion “Joey" has now led astray. HI Chest Bulldlnc* In the World.

Bine Rosea Grew Wild. An account of the blue rose has been given by the German gardeners in Slavonia, Chwcika and Bitz, who are cultivating it. Reports came of blue roses that grew wild in Servla, and a specimen was sent to them two years ago with violet blue flowers. They have been experimenting to see whether the color is retained under cultivation or whether it is due to the soil of the moors where it is found. If the roses retain their blue, the plants will bo for sale in 1901.—New York Sun. A Sara Coffee Teat. There is no drink more delicious than a cup of cofTee when the beverage is made from the beet seed. To test «cffee put a spoonful gentiy on the top of a glass of water. If the coffee is pure it will not sink for some minutes and will scarcely color the water; but if chicory Is mixed with it it will sink to the bottom immediately, rapidly ab sorbing the water and also giving it a dark-reddish tinge. A Wonderful Natural Bridge. Down on Pine creek, near Camp Verde, Ariz., is a natural bridge that is probably greater than any other in the world. It is nearly five times the size of the natural bridge of Virginia, and has a span of more than 500 feet across Pine creek, which is dry 300 days in the year. The height of the bridge is about eighty feet, and it is about 600 feet wide. Carrier Pigeon* Armed. In China carrier pigeons are pro tected from birds of prey by apparatus consisting of bamboo tubes fastened to the birds’ bodies. As the pigeon flies the action of the air passing through the tubes produces a shrill whistling sound, which keeps the birds of prey at a distance. j Preferred Water. | One sensible man in Winterport.Me., I who has wanted city water put in his house, but felt that his Income was hardly equal to It. this year concluded to drop the use of tobacco, after thirty years’ use of the weed, and put in the ■water.

A French physician, says an ex change, has recently expired io a truly professional manner, as well os with the serenity that man should show In his last hour. He pointed out tho pre cise moment when his pneumonia de veloped fatal symptoms, and predicted exactly when death would supervene. If he knew as much about other peo ple’s condition as his own, I19 must have been a loss to his patients. Haller died in a somewhat similar manner.
