A Drum and Its Sequel.
Ia one of the East Indian border
wan there was engaged an officer of
high repute, the member of an ancient
county family," says Mrs. Mayo in
"Recollections of Fifty Years." One
night the laird, its head, started from
his sleep, exclaiming:
" There's the shot that has killed my
brother?
"His wife told him it was but a
dream. He must hare given an anx
ious thought to his brothers before
going to sleep. Next day the pair
were in the garden directing their gar
deners when the laird suddenly ex
claimed: 'Do you hear the bagpipes?
"'No.' answered the lady. I can
hear nothing. I am sure there is no
sound.'
" Strange.' said the laird, 'for I can
even hear what is played. It is "Tho
Flowers o the Forest Are A Wefe
Away." '
"A few hours later came the tele
gram reporting that the brother had
been shot down by some border war
rior and over his lonely grave the men
of his regiment had played the pa
thetic air whose mysterious echo seem
ed to hare reached the laird."
Shakespeare's Definition of Poetry.
What a pity it is that Shakespeare
ever used that phrase "fine frenzy!"
It has become a fuddlesomc factor in
the framing of foolish fancies. It is
to the honor of Shakespeare, however,
that he came nearer to giving the
world the true definition of poetry than
has any other man. for he did explain
what constitutes the true art of poe
try making, and from this we are en
abled to know what Shakespeare con
sidered poetry. Curiously enough, it
Is in the very passage where Shake
speare uses that unfortunate phrase
"fine frenzy." Let us quote:
The poet's eye. in a fine frenzy rolling.
Doth glanco from heaven to earth, from
earth to heaven.
And as Imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown tho poet's
pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy
nothing
A local habitation and a name.

You would never think it was plain
English, but it is. It Is simply: "Mares

You should say this over many times
to yourself until you can roll it off
very quickly, run the words together,
and then when you 4 fry It on your

ARIZONA ROAD RUNNER.
A Sociable Bird That Is Said to Hate
a Rattlesnake.
The road runner is one of Arizona's
distinctive ornithological Institutions.
It is a long legged, long billed bird,
slender of build and standing some
ten inches high. It Is not often seen
in the farming districts, but Is a fa
miliar sight on the desert.
It has gained the name of road run
ner from its habit of taking the road
in front of travelers be they on horse
back or wheeled conveyance, and run
ning swiftly or slowly, as occasion re
quires, showing oft its neighborly spir
it and running qualities. It Is not un
common for it to keep in company of
the traveler for several hundred yards.
No resident of Arizona would kill a
road runner. It is firmly believed that
tho bird is the deadly enemy of that
monster of the desert, the rattlesnake.
We don't know whether any of our
renders ever saw a road runner kill a
rattlesnake. If there Is an authentic
story of such a thing we would be
glad to publish It But the accepted
tradition is that the road runner and
the rattlesnake are deadly enemies
and that the rattlesnake fears the
road runner beyond anything else.
It Is told that the bird drives the
snake into a coil and then, darting
around the serpent like lightning,
peeks it to death. Whatever truth
there may be in the stories of the
road runner's accomplishments as a
disciple of St Patrick, it deserves the
friendly protection It receives. Its
quaint sociability Is always a diver
sion for the lonesome desert traveler.

at
Three Years of Age.
At three years of age John Stuart
Mill began the study of Greek, with
"arithmetic as an evening relaxation."
At eight he began Latin. Euclid am!
algehra and had to act as tutor to the
younger children. He was a stern ami
efficient tutor.
At twelve he began scholastic logic
and political economy the latter hi?
main Iifowork.
At fourteen, while paying a long vis
it to Sir Samuel Benthani in southern
France, he learned French as a relaxa
tion from studying two or three hours
before breakfast, five hours between
breakfast and dinner and two or three
in the evening. Being for the time
master of bis own hours and not sub
ject to a stern father, he took lessons
also in his spare hours In music, sing
ing, dancing, fencing and riding, but
never became proficient.
At sixteen Mill could speak in debate
with adults with ease and freedom.
At eighteen he contributed to the
Westminster Review. At twenty-on
he was made assistant in the India
office and received a large salary for
those days.
But Mill was bald at twenty-two.
He did not marry until he was forty
five. He himself said: "I never was
a boy. It Is better to let nature have
Its own way."
The Green Flash of Sunset.
One of the most rarely witnessed of
natural phenomena, but one that has
often been discussed at scientific meet
ings and that always awakens wonder
when seen, is the so called "green
flash" occasionally visible at the mo
ment of the disappearance of the sun
behind a clear horizon. The observer's
eye must be fixed upon the rim of the
sun as it disappears in order to catch
the phenomenon. One authority tells
us that he has seen the green flash,
although rarely, at the instant of the
setting of a bright star. Among the
explanations offered is one based upon
the optical principle of complementary
colors. If one looks at the sun and
then closes the eyes a green disk will
be iereeived. A sensitive eye might
be similarly affected by a brilliant star.

England's Greatest Mine Fire.
The most serious colliery fire ever
known in Britain was undoubtedly
that which broke out at the Tawd val
ley mine, near Preston, in 1872. Thou
sands of pounds were spent In trying to
get the flames under control but they
overcame everything and consumed
some millions of tons of coal. A wall
ten feet in thickness was built round
the affected parts, but the heat cracked
the masonry and brought It down as
fast as It was rebuilt However, in
1S97 the river Tawd overflowed its
banks and went pouring down Into the
mine. No fire could withstand such an
immense volume of water hurled upon
It and, although the flames extended
for 500 yards, they were quenched
after having raged for a quarter of a
century. London Tit-Bits.
PICKING HUSBANDS.
A Woman's Cynical View of the Gar
man Marriage Market.
The men In Germany do not marry.
Tbey are married. They are mora or
less passive articles of sale, which
stand in rows In the matrimonial shop
window-with their price labeled In
large letters In their buttonhole, wait
ing patiently for n purchaser. Tbey
are ierfectly willing, even eager, vic
tims Tbey want to be bought but
their position does not allow them to
grasp the initiative, and tbey are
thankful when at last some one comes
along and declares herself capable and
willing to pay the price.
The girl and her mother, with their
purse in band, pass the articles in re
view .and choose out the one which
best suits their means and fancy.
"I shall marry an officer." one girl
told me some time ago with the easy
confidence of a person about to order
a new dress, and. lo and behold, be
fore the year was out she was walking
proudly on the arm of a dragoon lieu
tenant! 1 even knew of three women
who swore to each other that they
would marry only geniuses, and here
also tbey bad their will. One married
a great painter, one a poet and another
a famous diplomatist That they were
all three peculiarly unhappy Is not a
witness against the system, but a
proof that geniuses may occasionally
be very uncomfortable partners. In
this case the purchasers were rich and
popular and could therefore make their
choice. Others of lesser means would
have had to content themselves with
an officer, cavalry or Infantry, accord
ing to the "dot" or a lawyer, or a doc
tor, or a merchant, and so on down
the scale. Miss Wylle's "My German
Tear.''

Are

Carious ways of expressing ideas In

A countryman went to a menagerie
to examine the wild beasts. Several
gentlemen expressed the opinion that
the orang outang was a lower order of
the human species. Hodge did not
like this idea and, striding up to the

It In these words: "Pooh! He's no
more of the human species than I be."

Definition of True Humor.
The sense of humor Is the "saving
sense" principally because It saves us
from ourselves. The person who can
not laugh at himself now and then Is
to be pitied. Moreover, the person
who cannot take good naturedly the
occasional bantering of others Is In
the same class of disagreeables. A
well directed shaft of raillery will
often find the vulnerable point In our
armor of self complacency and show
us where our self satisfaction Is all
wrong. True humor, however, must
spring as much from the heart as from
the head. Its essence must be truth
and friendliness, not contempt There
never was a good Joke yet that told a
He or besmirched a reputation. Humor
which carries with it a sting to wound
the sensitiveness or delicacy of one
who does not deserve to suffer Is not
true humor. San Francisco Chronicle.
She Couldn't Fool Him.
"You have a splendid figure," said
the tailor. "I shall have no trouble In
giving yon an excellent fit"
Feeling fairly well satisfied, the man
went to a shoe store.
"Your feet are splendidly shaped and
rather small for a man of your size,
too," said the clerk. "These shoes'are
just what you ought to have"
He took them and bought a hat at
the hatter's, where he was told that he
had such a finely shaped head and
such splendid features that the hat
which be tried on first was just what
he needed to make him look his best
Then he passed Into a large depart
ment store and, finding the glove coun
ter, sat down where a pretty young
woman was waiting to serve him.
"Just place your elbow on the coun
ter, please." she said. "What a finely
shaped hand yon have! Let me"
"Walt!" he commanded. "By George,
yon can't put that over on me! I used
to be the catcher on a baseball team."

ADAM'S PEAK.
A Shrine Sacred to Three Conflicting
Religious Sects.
Throughout Asia "holy places" are
aimost as uumerous as leaves on a
tree, but in Ceylon Is a mountain which
enjoys the unique distinction of being
a very holy place to the devotees of
three absolutely distinct and conflict
ing religious sects. This is Adam's
Peak, or Samanaia.
According to the Mohammedan be
lief. Adam, after the fall, was taken
by an angel to the top of Samanaia.
and a panorama of all the ills that
through sin should afflict mankind was
spread out before him. His foot left
an impression on the solid rock, and
his tears formed the lake from which
pilgrims still drink. The Buddhists
contend that it was not Adam, but
Buddha himself that made the foot
print in the rock, that being the last
spot where he touched the earth be
fore ascending to heaven, while the
Brahmins have still another legend.
All. however. Brahmins. Mohamme
dans and Chinese, agree that Samanaia
is a very holy place, and to perform a
pilgrimage to the spot is to the Budd
hist what a visit to Mecca is to a Mo
hammedan. In mixed crowds the wor
shipers come, each pitying the igno
rance of the other, who is so far from
the "true way."
It requires no little faith and some
Imagination to trace in the depression
in the rock the likeness of a human
footprint It Is 5 feet long by 2
feet wide, on the top of a huge bowl
der. The natives, however, insist that
it Is the footprint of Adam. Emmctt

A MAGIC CLUB.
Curisua Deeey Used by the Nathre
Fishermen ef Hawaii.
"Lau melomekV Is the nam of a de
coy used by the native fishermen of
Hawaii. It is made of the hardest
wood to be found on the Islands and Is
carved and rubbed till it assumes the
shape of a club with a little knob at
the smaller end. to which the line Is
tied.
The club is from one to three feet
long. A village sorcerer performa cer
tain rites over It over a sacred fire.
After this is done the club Is magic,
and the fisherman must be extremely
careful of It If a woman should step
over it or enter a canoe in which it lies
the club would lose all its power and
would be useless ever afterward.
After the club has been charmed the
fisherman mixes candlenut and cocoa
nut meat bakes it and tics the mix
ture in a wrapper of cocoanut fiber.
At the fishing grounds the club is
covered with the oily juice of the stuff
and is then lowered carefully to the
bottom. The scent of the baked nut
meat attracts certain kinds of fish,
which soon gather and begin to nibble
at the club. As soon as enough fish
are around the decoy a small bag
shaped net Is lowered very gently until
its mouth Is Just over the club. The
latter is then pulled up carefully and
cunningly till it Is within the bag. The
fish are so eager for the stuff with
which the club Is covered tbat they
follow it Into the net without fear.
As soon as all the fish are in It a fish
erman dives and closes the mouth of
the net, whereupon the rest haul It
up quickly.
THE MIDDLE AGED MAN.
Finding Happiness In a Life That te
Youth Is Irksome.
"Younger people." said the middle
aged man. "want variety.- Tbey want
to be always on the go. Routine galls
them. Tbey hate to have to do the
same thing over and over and over
again day after day.
"Tbey want to go somewhere or do
something different all the time. Older
people are happiest in a life of routine,
most disturbed when variety Is thrust
upon them.
"For myself I welcome my dally
task, endlessly repeated and always
the same. 1 should be lost without It;
disturbed if it were changed. A life
of habit suits me best. I like the old
scenes familiar friendly surroundings.
I don't want to change.
"Nor do 1 want much outside pleas
ure. In fact. I think I should be best
suited with none. I like my groove.
It fits me. and I fit it I don't want
change. I just want to be left alone
to work In my accustomed ways. It Is
In my groove that I am most com
fortable. I like a life of labor and
routine.
"And could there come to one a
greater blessing? Nature and the cus
toms of men enforce routine upon us
whether we like it or not In youth
this irks us. but in our maturer years
in a life of routine. In the undisturbed
enjoyment of familiar labor, we may
find our greatest happiness." New

Tho Historic City of Delhi.
Delhi Is the most historic city In all
India. It may not be the oldest al
though It lays claim to a respectable
middle age, dating from 1000 B. C At
that time the master of Delhi called
himself emperor of all the world, and
emperors, at least of India, have ruled
there almost ever since. Old Delhi,
without the walls, is a city of pictur
esque ruins. Imperial Delhi, the mod
ern city, was created by Shah Jehan, a
contemporary of Queen Elizabeth.
From the date of the first Moham
medan incursion, A. D. 71S, perpetual
warfare raged round Delhi until at
length she yielded to the Irresistible
power of the Moguls. The city was al
ternately Mohammedan and Hindu
during a great many years and finally.
In 1803, was made British by General
Lake. Delhi has the finest and largest
mosque In India. It took 5,000 men six
years to build it The noble tomb of
tho Emperor Humayan marks the
change of creed which followed the
Moslem Invasion, while the observa
tory of Jai Singh and the deserted hall
of the seventy columns recall the short
triumph of Brahmanism.
The Devil of the Desert
It is not generally known how a devil
rides a camel, but Mr. Hans Vicber ac
quired the Information and imparts it
In his volume, "Through the Sahara.'
One night a camel suddenly ran amuck.
Other camels followed suit and a gen
eral panic ensued. "The frightened
yells of my escort told me that a ghool,
a wicked demon of the desert bad
seized the camel. I was told how these
evil spirits sometimes took a fancy to
mount a camel; the camel would then
look to see who was digging it in the
ribs, and, perceiving no one, fear would
grip its heart, for then it knew that
the devil was on its back."
Malleable Glass of the Egyptians.
Strabo and Josephus both affirm tbat
the Egyptian glass workers were so
well skilled in their art that they imi
tated the amethyst and other precious
stones to perfection. Malleable glass
was one of the secret arts of the an
cients, the formula for making It being
now reckoned as lost Strabo men
tions a cup of glass which could be
hammered into any desired shape, the
material of which it was composed be
ing as ductile as lead.
Hew Plants Remain Upright.
If a flowerpot Is laid on Its side the
stalk of the plant growing In it grad
ually curves upward until It resumes
the vertical position. This Is called
geotropic curvature, and the question
is by what means the plant is stimu
lated to change Its direction of growth.
One theory avers that movable starch
grains in the plant cells fall to the low
er aide as the position is changed and
by their pressure Influence the mech
anism of growth.

"preachers. Every morning and
evening these monkeys assemble iu .

tion than the rest and makes a signal
with his fore paw. At this signal the j
others sit around him and listen. When
they are all seated he begins to utter
a series of sounds. When be stops
these cries he makes another signal
with his paw, and the others cry out
until be makes a third signal, upon
which tbey become silent again. This

was a witness to these preachings.
