HOUSES UNDER THE GROUND.
Dwellers in the Desert Make Prac
tical Use of Walls Erected by
the Ancient Romans.
Concerning the mysterious ur.uer
groiiml dwelling! in the desert back
it Tripoli Manns Yischer writes In
the C.eographical Journal: "On tilt
northern edge of the mountains the
little land of C.harian. with Its vil
lages und gardens, stands like an
Inland anions the general destruction.
lo tills day the old Koman terraces
have withstood the keen wind from
the sea and the winter rains and give
one an idea of the country's former i
prosperity. The village of C.harian J
lies among ancient olive groves and
large fruit gardens, built on the old
terraces. Kulned castles look down
from every little hill, old Koman or
earlier towers. The present inhab
itants live in underground houses,
hewn out of the solid rocks, the
ancient dwellings nrobablv of some
prehistoric race.
'A curious maze of earth mounds,
which rose on either side of the road.
showed the position of the village.
From one of these mounds, the rub-
iMi taken out of the ground when the
house was built, 1 looked down into
square courtyard about thirty feet
bdow the ground, with walls hewn
perpendicularly out of the red rock.
Around the walls several doors and
narrow slit windows showed the dif
ferent rooms. The master of the
house then led us to a door which
was built above the ground, like the
entrance to some cellar, and down a
narrow passage or tunnel to the court-
yard below. The first apartment we
came to held donkeys, and some goats
and was used as a stable.
"The living rooms were all white
washed and. like the courtyard, ex
ceedingly clean. It looked most pic
turesque-the little house with the
whitewashed arches leading into the
rooms, the red sides of the rock cov
ered partly by a fresh green creeper,
and over it all the square of dark-blue
sky. The inhabitants praise theli
houses, for they are coed In surnmet
and warm in winter, when the cold
northeast wind blows, but they knew
nothing of the original builders."
Large Stream of Meteors.
The August meteors, according to a
leading astronomer, form a stream so
broad that the earth, though It travels
faster than 18 miles a second, takes
seven weeks to cross It.
Bulkheads Quickly Closed.
On one of the new trans-Atlantic
liners twenty-four bulkhead doors,
each weighing half a" ton, can he
closed from the bridge in 30 seconds
by hydraulic power.
Fashionable Styles In Politics.
Many literary men In France adopt 1
a political oplnon because it suits .
their style and attitude. They choose
a party as they would a necktie.

Nerve.
He was only a tramp, but he was
there wiih the nerve. Filtering the
fashionable lunch parlor he pompon
lv Kented himself at a table, devoured
a pickle and dropped seven "lumps o1
sugar and two biscuits into his coin
pocket. Then be sampled the hors
radish, drank a glass of water anc.
glanced at the menu.
Well?" snapped the tall waiter In
the low-cut waistcoat.
"Well, howdy, pal!" called the
stranger affably. "What you got t
eat?"
"Everything," responded the waltM
In Icy tones.
"On my word! (lot any welsh rab
bit?" "Yes."
"How do yon serve It?"
"Any way you want!"
The tramp moved his chair out a
few inches.
"Well, give me the left hind foot
old sport. I want it for luck."
And helping himself to another bis
mil the tramp dodged a saucer am
vatil.-hed into the night.
Fear of Microbes.
Microbes art- agents of disease nndj
death. When they were discovered anc
when their character was exposer.
science made a big step forward. Mi
erobes taught men not only bow t(
pure disease, but how to avoid am!
even how to prevent It. But Into lift
they brought a new terror! Now the
question is how to guard against thii
terror. For all fairly healthy pcrsom
there is just one thing to do. Ignort
the existence of microbes altogether!
Don't even stop to think of them, sav
in emergencies, which, to the layman
seldom arrive. Human beings hav(
no reason to be In continual fear ol
microbes. The way to be immune
from their Influence Is by not carinf
snap of the finger about them, and
by observing the oifllnary rules o:
wholesome living. Eat and sleep reg
ularly. Take exercise. Keep in frost
lir. And devote a few minutes eact
Jay to deep breathing. Microbes hnU
healthy people as the devil hates hoi)
water.
Another of Lillian's Victims.
He was telling of his lifellng love
Tor Lillian Uussell, "It was when I

this."
They looked nt him earnestly, fot
tthile he wore no beard he appeared
be somewhat past his first youth at
east.
"How old are you?" they asked bin
presently.
"I am l!fi," he said.

a few days later the writer was

A Woman's Bargain.
An Oil City man who was detained

handed his wife, who was going down

When she returned she handed him
the package, remarking exultantly:
"That shows that women can beat

where I could get eight tor a quarter
