service of government Why Is
It some oza aslad that horses why
and donkeys do not
The nusrcr waa to the following ef
fect
Tho ancestors cf the hcrue were ac
customed to ream over the plaius
where every tuft of grass or bush
might conceal an enemy waiting In
ambush In these circumstances the
must have time ncd again saved the
lives by quickly starting back or elc
suddenly -lumping to one side wh
without warning some strange object
appeared to them The habit mu
have indeed been a strong one seeing
that so many years of domestication
have net eradicated it
scended from animals that lived among
the hills with the usual precipices and
dangerous declivities ad from these
condltlous It would appear there re
sulted its slowness and sine foolcdness
The donkeys ancestors wore not lhen
so liable to sudden attacks from witi
beasts and smakes Moreover sudden
and wild starts would have been pos
itively dangerous to the donkeys Trr
bears Consequently they learned to
avoid the characteristic trick of the
horse The habit of eating thistles pe
culiar to the donkey seems also to
have been inherited from its ancestors
In the dry barren localities hey in
habited there was often very little
food therefore they learned to cat the
hard dry and even prickly plants and
undergrowth when nothing else pre
sented itself New York Tribune
THE
TEREY CYPRESS
Found In Its Wild State In Only Two
Spots In the World
One of the mot interesting and pic
turesque trees in the world as well a
one of the most ancient is the
vv Hcntorey cypress
Its native habitat is erztremely restrict
ed for it is found in Its wild state l
only two spots in the whole wide world
on the edre of a grove of conifer
stretching for a few miles between
the bay of Monterey and the bay of
Carmel the latter of which bears a
striking resemblance in outline and
color to its prototype in the Holy Land
and iu a similar spot near Peseadero a
little town lying on the coast betvec
Monterey and San Francisco The
Monterey grove consists of only a doz
en or two cypresses of large size and
most striking appearance Their trunks
are massive- and wrinkled with hoary
age while their boughs gnarled and
twisted cmw chiefly on one side away
from th tlriiiv winds that have buf
feted them for thousands of years The
noble trees are limited to the rocky
wind beaten shore on which some of
them have but a precarious hold
Hemmed hetweoiutho slowly cneroch
ing ocean on one hand and a pine for
est on the other their future is ex
posed to great hazard It is therefore
gratifying to observe that a fair num
ber of thrifty young cypresses are
holding their own against the pines for
a short distance inland Scientific

MISS 1LAKX GMIDEN AS THAIS
fection for her manager had been in
nowise diminished by the episode
The warfare began when Miss Gar
den learned that Mr Hammerstein had
arranged for a performance by Lina
Cavalieri of Miss Gardens pet role of
Thais and she at once expressed her
sentiments in the matter by remark
ing
I know that Mr Hammerstein has
announced that Mile Cavalieri wil1
sing as Thais She will will she
She may but I wonder if he would
rather have Cavalieris Thais thau my
Salome for instance
While I am an American woman it
is distinctly understood that I am the
only woman presenting the new school
of French art and opera in this coun
try Cavalieri is an Italian and in this
case an interloper and I resent her
appearance in Thais
These sentiments were expressed in
a sufficiently forcible manner in a note
Miss Garden sent shortly afterward to
Mr Hammerstein in which she ten
dered her resignation from the oper
atic forces of the Manhattan The idea
of losing Miss Garden just at the time
when he was playing her up as Sa
lome was especially distasteful to Mr
Hammerstein for If there Is anything

Mile Cavalier claims that It was no
slight to Mis Garden for Mr 11am
merstein to cast her in the role of
Thais and that the American prima
donna has no right to a monopoly of
the part Mile Cavalier says that she
created lhe role of Thais In Italy and
pang it with great success in Paris She
is considered one of the most beautiful
women on the operatic stage and were
there to be a competition to decide
who Is the ntp t popular operatic star

MAN MONEY
Teutonic Law on Killing or
injuring Others
The system of atonini for death or
bodily injuries inflicted on others by
paying damages is as old as the earli
est Teutonic laws praised by Tacitus
The trespasser was always required to
make peace with the aggrieved family
of the victim by Wer Geld
Wer is the ancient German for
man Geld now as in the days of
Wotan means money
Damages were assessed in accord-
publication of the Quaker City to his aucre with the rank and wealth of the
mjureu party anu tne monev wa
paid over in the presence of the whole
community its acceptance forestalling
feuds Indeed the recognition of Ver
Gcld money for the man killed by
law precluded further bloodshed or
other forms of revenge
If the slayer was net rich enough to
j Mile GerviUe Rcache whom I Pay the required sum he turned over
I ered sinim in a Paris cafe I gave to the injured parties his sons as
i her a live veor contract She had a slaves If his sons were not sufficient
It has been so from the beginning of vnicn nnrt nntv nooilnn m smarautee for the navment ef the

moiselle learned that Mr bondsman both the letter and the
Hammerstein had been quoted as say- spirit of the law requiring that the
j full amount of damage indicted be
recovered by the aggrieved parties -
