BUILDINGS TELL THEIR STOrtY.
Unwittingly Thy Reveal Secrets of
the Hearts of Those Who Con
structed Them.
The obs-rwr nf ImlUlln'-'s may ir.i
with ease i:iai'.v a Kivrrt of lh InlM
or's heart, whHhrr It be i !, a:n' I
tlnn. h irr!.-i '-r solid worth. The
arnrtmt'i:t liiiiMIng Ih.'t Is "bnill to
soil" is easier to read tlia.i some
structures v.Mtli an the expression
of rtiuposit' thought. Theie Is a
ooil rxtcrinr it in'a i :vm c. halls heavy
with "style," with tiled floors, marble
walls, an.l massive chandeliers. Hut
Inside the apartments, en every hand,
there are c lil'-wes ef a conscious
Intention to tddiup and neglect even
ordinary standards of good carpenter
work.
How unwittingly los the builder
rear this projection of bin inmost
character! Would H rent rain him to
know that others regarded bis work
as an open confession of the very
things ho would prefer to bide? It
micht not change bis character, but. It
could cause hlin to make such a build
ing ns be would like to bo thought of
as corresponding to In character. If
this method of Interpreting builders
were to be popularized it might raise
tho standards of the industry. Our
contribution to this end would be a
proverb, to puss current wherever
buildings are contemplated: "A build
ing Is a confession in stone." Collier's.
Lightning's Antics In a Church.
Lightning Btruck the steeple of tho
littlo village church or fiassln, near
Toulon, France, the oilier day. Tho
electrical fluid, It Is stated, followed
tho iron cable which Is used to ring
tho church bell and set tho bell ring
ing. Then it tore the door off a cup
board containing a number of candle
bUcrh and lit all the candles as though
by enchantment.
It completed Its antics by ripping
tip the floor of tho sacristy, hut, so it
Is said, previously rolled tip tho car
pet with perfect symmetry.
Strange Growth of Olive Trees.
Attention Is seldom called to a re
markable and curious t hai act erstlc of
tho olive tree. After many years of
growth the different large branches
of tho trees separate gradually from
the trunk until they are quite divided
from one another down Into the root.
These then slowly move apart, and In
some Instances six or seven distinct
trees stand In the urea which before
surrounded tho main tree, and they
will sometimes be as much ns 20 feel
apart
The Smocth Way.
In the las! generation Tyler Cobb, !
Ksij.. was a wvll known rlt of j
North llri r;o.at r now lirockion
MasKi-cliusi -its. lie was famous j
llinu.",l.out I'lyn.outh county, k.i.vs a 1
contributor to ihe lleslon Herald, for 1
bis witty ret ;its and dry humor. i
Never hnvia:; taken a sea trip, Mr.
Cobb one day conceived the Idea of
making a voyage to New York. Ac
cordingly he xailed from Itosioii in u
.small .schooner.
The liisl day out a storm was en- '
countered ml Mr. Cobb became vio
lently .sick, but after several hours be :
mustered up courage ami strength to
look out upon tho troubled water. ,
As be looked from the side of the.
little ship up the trough of the sea, it
seemed very ftnootli to him. The cap
tain's cutting of Ihe waves was "sense- 1
less," ho told himself. !
Hut as this mad steering continued, '
the unhappy passenger finally crawled
out, on hands and knees, to where the
captain stood at the wheel, and rais
ing his voice ubovu the din of waves
and wind, shouted:
"Man, man, keep in the ruts, keep In
the ruts!" Youth's Companion.

The Human Family.
The human family living on earth
today consists of about 1.4.r0,0')u,O0()
souls not fewer, probably more.
These are distributed literally all over
the earth's surface, there being no
considerable spot on the globe where
man has not found a foothold. In Asia,
the so-called "cradle of the human
race," there are now about 800,01)0,000
people, densely crowded, or an av
erage? of about 120 to every square
mile. In Kurope there are 320,000,000,
averaging 100 to the square mile, not
so crowded as Asia, but everywhere
dense, and In many places over-populated.
In Africa there are 210,000.000;
and In the Americas North, South
ami Central 110.000.000, these latter,
of course, relatively thinly scattered
over broad areas. On the islands,
large and small, there are probably
10,000,000 more. The extremes of the
blacks and the whites are as rive to
three, the remaining 700,000,000 Inter
mediate, brown, yellow and tawny In
color.
Daylight and Twilight.
A sad nature sheds forth twilight. A
merry and mirthful natu-o brings day
light. A suspicious nature Insensibly
Imparts Its chill to every generous
soul within its reach. A hold and
frank nature overcomes meanness In
men. Firmness makes them fine.
Taste directs, stimulates and develops
taste. Henry Ward Heucher.

JUST CASE OF WANDERLUST.:

Family Starting to Oil Were Properly
Sure They Must Land Up Some- I
where Eventually. j
In th smoklns car on a southern !
railroad, where they had aat up all
nl?ht, was a family consisting of hus-.
band, wtfn and five children. They
werf? rubbing slunp from their eyes )
and wrangling with each other when
a man entered the car and espied
them and advanced to Hay to the
man:
"Howdy, Joe I'm 8'prlsed to see
you."
"Howdy, Tom?"
"Where you-all gwino?"
"Down to Harbor Pint, I reckon."
"But I thought you-all lived up at
Cherry Hill?"
"We did."
"What you-all totin' away from
thpre fur?"
"Dun no."
"What you-all gwlne to Harbor
Tint fur?"
"Dunno. Jest thought we'd so."
"Oh. I see. You-all thought to get?"
"I reckon. Yes, thought we'd git,
and we pulled up and started a glttin',
and If we keep on long 'nuff we sure
'nuff must git sumwhar' or other."
"Yes, sure. Reen agittln' myse'f
and always got there some day. It's
heaps better than never glttin' 'tall."
In a Different Class.
"I hear, Mike, that your wife has
geno Into society. Has she become a
club woman yet?" "Inlade an' she
has not got Into that class; she still
Ubes a flatlron. sor."

' Eggs Fojnd in Old Temple.
SI. Rava, Italian minister of public
Inst motion, communicates tin? partic
ulars of an archaeological discovery at
(flanlculum, where excavations have
been going on sine? last June. Sev
eral statues, fragments of columns
and bronze objects have been un
earthed and now a cell, evidently be
longing to a temple, and a large altar
of triangular sha;M!, have been dis
covered. The apex Is turned towards
the east. It la built of bricks, covered
with some sort of concrete. In the
middle of tho altar a well Is sunk. It
was covered with tiles. It was opened
In Ihe presence of Sig. Rava and Prof.
Bernabel, and was found to contain
a bronze statue of the god Kronos,
with a serpent wound round the body,
while around were eggs in an excel
lent state of preservation. The dis
covery shows particularly that the site
waa a place of sacrifice.
Hellish Fashions.
His satanlc majesty touched a but
ton anl summoned his head Imp.
"What is all that noise In Factory
street?"
"Your Imperial majesty. It Is the
women mobbing the new corset fac
tory. They are all demanding one of
those new redhot, electric-charged cor
sets." "Sufferln' souls!" gasped his majes
ty, "and I thought I had Invented a
new torment."
"The mistake was In forcing that
French girl to wear one first. She
made 'em all bellere they are the very
latest style."
"Saints above! and I thought I un
derstood women. Well, well, now that
I think of It, the plan works out bet
ter than I thought. Take 'em away
from all the ladles but a few; see that
they are advertised as the very latest
fashion and I guess that will make
those women who can't get 'cm suffer
all rlsht. all rleht." Puck.
PUMP AIR INTO DEAD WHALE.
Hunter's Prize Made Sufficiently Buoy
ant to Float, Marked with Buoy
and Set Adrift.
Then began the work of bringing
the whale to the surface and blowing
It up so that It would float. Taking a
hitch about a convenient post, the
rope was slacked and run through a
pulley block at the mast head to re
lieve the strain of raising the great
body. The winch was set In motion
and for 15 minutes nothing was heard
save the monotonous grind as fathom
after fathom of line was wound in.
When the body was brought alongside
the lobes of the flukes were cut off
and lifted to the deck. Then a long
coll of small rubber hose, one end of
which was attached to a pump and
tho other to a hollow, spear-polnted
tube of steel with perforations along
Its entire length, was brought Into
play. Tho spear was Jabbed well down
Into Ihe whale's side, tho air pump
started and the body slowly filled Wtn
air. When Inflated sufficiently to keep
It afloat the tube was withdrawn the
Incision plugged with oakum and the
chains cast off. A buoy with a flag
was then attached to the carcass and
tho whole set adrift to be picked up at
the end of the day's huntlng.-ropular
