affected the people. You find no art in
the carving or weaving or pottery mak

at this , " and ho produced a delicate lit

graceful design about the neck. "Im

such a thing as that ! Yet I got that of
a.lapanoso in away-back mountain dis
trict a man who had never been to a

except his own , anu , in fact , had no com

NOT A SO FT JOB.
Unties ot Clerks In the Kullirny . " .lull
Service.
The training of a clerk in the railway
mall service is necessarily severe. Ill's
first appointment after ho has passed the
civil service examination is really no ap
pointment at all , says Harper's Young
People. He is simply "named" as a
"substitute" without compensation , un
less ho chances to make an occasional
run in place of one of the regular clerks.
As a substitute ho finds opportunity to
familiarize himself enough with the re
quirements of the service to receive an
appointment on trial of $800
year. His regular work will the'n bo
little more than lifting pouches in and
out of the car , or shifting them in the
racks ; but ho should bo able to find time
to memori/.o the distribution for a cer
tain section of the -lino. This requires
that he should know by heart the names
of from 900 to 1,500 postofiices , and
whether they are on the main line or
not , or , if not , at what junction letters
for any particular olllco leave the lino.
Ho is examined every month at a table
and pigeonholns at the headquarters of
his division. Cards bearing the names
of all the olllcos in the section on which
ho is examined are given him to dis
tribute in the pigeonholes according to
routes , and a record is kept of the re
sults. If ho acquits himself creditably ,
and the chief clerk in his rolling pos't-
ollico reports favorably on his mental ,
physical and moral qualifications , ho is
promoted , when a vacancy occurs , to the
next higher grade at 6900 a year. Mean
while his monthly oxaminat Ions cjiitinuo
and ho is obliged to add section after
section to his knowledge , until , as they
say in the service , he knows the "re
quirements of his route , " which means
on important routes the memorizing of
from 15,000 to 20,000 ollices , and the
Hues by which they arc reached. Ho
has then a chance of promotion to class
III. at $1,000 a year ; and if he makes the
best record In this class ho goes up to
class IV. at $1,150. and finally to class
V , at $1,1)00 ) a year , above which lie tlio
higher appointments of the sorvicoi
Numi's of .Mountain ! .
Mountains and mountain ranges in the
United States , and , indeed , the world
over , have usually been named , not by
the mountaineers themselves , but by the
dwellers In the plains , who saw the
mountains as a more or less distant pros
pect. It sometimes happens that a
mountain or a mountain range bears two
mimes , because of different aspects
present to dwellers upon each side.
The several Blue and Blue Ridge moun
tains were named manifestly by those
to whom the ranges presented thorn-
solves against a moro or less distant
horizon. Ono of the Green mountains in
Vermont is called Bald Face by dwellers
in tiie Adirondack region about Paul
Smith's , n name justified by the aspect
of the mountain from that part of the
wilderness. The Adirondack Sugar
Loaf could never have been named by a
dweller upon its own top. The Orange
mountains took their name , however ,
not from theirbiinsot aspect ai scon from
the lowlands , but arc only another evi
dence of the affection with which Dutch
men cling to the name orange , an affec
tion that has led them to fix that name
on the map In whatever part of tlio
world they may have tarried.

A BIBLE"STOIIY.
Tint MUtnko of ii'Ilell liny Cttiiflfa Commo
tion In ii Hotel.
An earthquake or a fire could not have
caused much greater commotion and ex
citement at the Great Northern than
did the simple mistake of a bell boy ,
bays the Chicago Inter Ocean. A gen
tleman has boon ill for some days in
what is called , in tlio technique of the
hou.se , " 1H5. " This means room No. 35
on tlio I lloor. He rang the bell for a
boy yesterday morning and told him
that no was ill and to have a barber sent
to his room. The invalid thought the
young negro messenger manifested more
excitement than the simple request
called for , and bo thought correctly.
The boy , instead of telephoning down
stairs as usual , ran all the way down to
the "captain" and shouted : , , "Do man
in I -wuntS.tUe bible tontito his room. "
"Wonts what ? " '
"De bible. "
"Tho bible ? "
"Yes , that's what I said ; what do
preacher reads from. "
The captain passed the' word on to
Clerk Raidt.
Mr. Raidt is accustomed to respond
ing quickly to every demand that is
made , but for once in his career as a
hotel man ho was nonplussed.
"A bible ! " he repeated , "man in I 35
wants a Bible ! Miss , " ho said to
the cashier , "have you got a bible ? "
"At homo. "
In this hour of perturbation ho forgot
his politeness and shouted : "What good
will that do a sick man at the Great
Northern ? "
Ho sent or > o boy to the barber shop ,
one to the barroom and ono to tlio young
lady typewriter. No one had a bible.
Just then Mr. Eden came in. His
foresight had provided for everything
but a bible , but to his intense relief he
saw Mr. Hurlburt approaching , ,
"Mr. Ilurlburt , " ho said , "a gentle
man upstairs wants a bible. "
"A what ? "
"A bible. "
"Spell it. "
"A "
b-i-b-1-c.
"Well , that's the best joke I've heard
for a year ; como , let's have some "
"No , " replied Mr. Eden ; "this is no
joke , I'm in earnest * The gentleman is
sick and wants a bible. "
"Ho must bo dying , " said Mr. Hurl-
hurt , "bettor got a preacher , too.
Where's the directory ? Here , boy , take
this and lind a preacher. "
in the meantime Mr. Eden had des
patched a boy to the nearest bookstore
to buy a bible. But before he returned
an imperative demand came from the
gentleman in I 35 to hurry up , that ho
was tired waiting.
Mr. Eden sprang into ono elevator ,
Mr. Hurlburt , into another , and boll boys
were dispatched in various directions to
beg , b irrow or steal a bible.
Ono of them ran into Commissioner
Wickersham's room and told him of the
exigency. All ho could find was a bound
copy of St. John's epMlo. Ho gave it to
the boy and bade him tly. The boy
rushed into the invalid's room. "Here's
the 'plstlo of St. John , sail , all ho could
find , but Mas' Eden , he's sent out for do
whole biblo. "
"Bible ! " shouted the invalid ; "what
the do I want with a bible ? I want
a barber. " Just then ho saw how the
mistake had occurred , and when his
physician , Dr. Tall man , came into the
room , ho thought nis patient had jumped
from pneumonia to apoplexy. While
tlio doctor was using all his skill to quiet
him , fearful of thu consequences to ono
so weak , Mr. Eden rushed in with a now
bible as big as Wobbler's Unabridged
uictionury. After putting Mr. Eden out
in the hall , Dr. Tollman remained with
his patient the rest of the day.
But there is an interesting sequel to
all this local commotion. When the boy
went to the storoi to buy a bible ho re
lated something of the circumstances.
A lady member of the Chicago Tract
society was .standing near and heard
him. At 5 o'clock last evening a con
signment of 500 small bibles wore sent
to Hurlburt and Eden by the Tract
society , with the polite request that ono
bo placed in each room.

that the atmosphere of Now York city
improves with every story of ascent ,
says the Sun. The window sills on the
ground iloor of dwellings subjected to
examination wore found deeply covered
with dust containing all sorts of un
wholesome particles. The dust win
less , and not so unwholesome , on the
next lloor , and this improvement was
continued until only a thin layer of
light and comparatively harmless parti
cles was found. Sotno dust , however ,
collects on the tops of the very highest
buildings.

tnunta.
The ono insane mona"ch who now oc
cupies a European throne , King Otho of
Bavaria , shows no symptoms of rccivcr-
Ing from his mental malady. I am told
that ho has lucid intervals , which arc
very brief and occur but rarely : and it
is as well , for these lleeting gleams of
reason only servo to make the poor man
miserably unhappy , for while they last
ho reali/es his own wretched condition
to the full. Everything is done to amuse
and interest him In his ordinary state ,
which is that of hopeless as well as dan
gerous insanity. Ho spends his days in
unceasing Occupation of an Insigmiiennt
and mechanical nature.
At one time he worked from morning
till night in rolling cigarettes. Thru ho
took to peeling potatoes , and bushels
upon bushels of them were provided for
his amusement. Of Into his favorite
pastime is by no means of such an inof
fensive nature. Ho has taken to shoot
ing peasants , and will sit all day long
with his gun at the window , waiting for
this new kind of game on which to exer
cise his skill. Even this freak his guar
dians have contrived to satisfy \\ithou
injury t > any one of his subjects. His
gun is always loaded in his presence , as
ho always insists on seeing the powder
ami shot duly put in , but for the latter
his attendant substitutes dried peas.
Orders have been given that no per
son shall be allowed to pass along the
road in front of his dwelling last King
Otho should flro upon him or her and bo
driven quito wild by seeing his in
tended victim walk off"unhurt. . But at
stated intervals a man in a peasant's
garb makes his ajipenranco on the road.
The king takes aim and iires and the
man drops down to all appearances dead.
The supposed body is removed by two
of the guards , and some hours later the
performance is repeated , to the immense
satisfaction of his majesty.
The make-believe peasant is a figur
ant from one of the minor theaters of
Munich. Generally ho simply drops on
hearing the shot , and remains motion
less , but occasionally ho varies the per
formance by dying very hard , turning
round three or four times before he
falls , and then expiring in terrific con
vulsions , a catastrophe that ' always
greatly interests the royal maniac.
Oddly enough , the regent is very un
popular in Bavaria , the lower classes
having conceived the singular and erro- j i
noous idea that ho has had some hand in
causing the madness of his nephews. I >
Also they attribute to him some share in
bringing about the tragic death of the
late King Louis. The only member of
the royal family who is really popular
with the Bavarians in general is Prince
Alphonso. the younger son of the late
Prince Adalbert , the regent's brother.
Ho is a handsome Spanish looking gen
tleman ( his mother was a Spanish prin
cess ) just 34. and too far distant from the
line of succession to have any chance of
ascending the throne. For the regent
has three sons , and his oldest son and
heir , Prince Louis , has no less than
eleven children , so the crown of Bava
ria is not likely to go begging for want
of dircctheirs.
REPULSIVE DECEIT.
The Horrible Inhibitions of Molinmmciliui
1'nklrg.
"Tho horrible exhibitions of Moham
medan fakirs that scientists have re
cently shown are duo to the mysterious
laws of hypnotism , are creating a pro
found sensation , " says a writer in Homo
and Country. "Tho miraculous power
of the mind over the body , recently ex
hibited in Paris and Berlin in the ex
traordinary feats of the Aissawija and
Hindoo fakirs , seems to contradict all
known laws of nature.
"Thoso performances wore witnessed
by some of the greatest scientists , and
the first ono in Berlin was given in the
presence of Emperor William.
"Every ono was invited to convince
himself that no deception was used in
any of those performances. The first
exhibition was watched by a deputation
consisting of twelve officers , physicians
and professors.
"Tho terrible sensation those horrible
exhibitions produced upon the specta
tors can hardly bo reali/.cd. It was in
tensified by the fact that optical delusion
or deceit was impossible. These per
formances , particularly as they are con
sidered as exercises of worship , are so
repulsive as to caiibo ono to turn with
loathing from such a barbarous re
ligion.
"Ancient as well as modern descrip
tions of Indue , which have told of the
miraculous feats of tlio native fakirs ,
found but little credence in Europe and
America , and their performances , which
seemed to belong to sorcery and witch
craft , wore always explained on the
basis of prestidigitation. Recent scien
tific researches , however , have demon
strated that fraud and deception have no
part in these wonderful exhibitions at
tlio Pauoptikum at Berlin within the
last few weeks. An Indian fakir , Soli-
man Ben Aissa by name , who is now
making a trip around the world , and
will shortly appear also on this
sldo of the Atlantic , gave his
first publlo performance before a
narrow sirclo of physicians and anthro
pologists who came prepared to doubt
and disbelieve. Soliman It n handsome
man , well built , and ubjut 30 years old.
He speaks French very intelligibly , ami
explains bib productions as ho goes
along.
"Productions of this character cannot
bo explained except on the basis that
these fakirs are in possession of secrets ,
centuries old , which tradition hin
brought down in the various religious
orders.
"Tho members of those secret associa
tions do not llvo together , de-voting
thoniHolvtH to religious contemplation
and devotional oxorclcos. as do other
orders , but Imlong to various classes of
society , and follow the callings of mer
chants , artisan * , etc. They moot once a
week with the 'Iladra' ( association of
brothers ) at the 'Tnula' ( mootlug-placo
used as n mosque ) for religious core-
mollies , performances of their ritual or
exhibitions as above dcscrllied.
' 'These societies , originally founded
for religious alms , have , since the at
tacks of European nations upon tlio In
tegrity of the Ottoman empire , also as
sumed a political purpose. Like a network -
work they surrounded the entire Mo
hammedan world ; their messengers
hasten with secret missions from the
Soudan to the Caucasus , from the Atlas
to the Ganges.
"It In only within the last few years
that Christian travelers have been al
lowed to bo present at the processions
and meetings of the Ai awlja or to
enter their holy city 'Kalveran. ' That
this permission is now ghoii. and why
the Ais-sawija , who arc distinguished for
their strict orthodox faith and unbend
ing loyalty to principle , are n iw even
sent to Europe to exhibit their feats be
fore the Christians they so much hate , is
problematical. The true reason Is prob
ably known only to the general of the
ord'er. "
SUNK OVER , FIFTY YEARS AGO.
A HrlK Cu t Up by tlio SP.I anil TOWIM ! Into
mi Alnrrlriili 1'ort.
The Norwegian ba'-k Elsa Andersen
came into Galveston a day or two ago
with a strange looking vessel In tow.
This was a small brig of English build ,
dismasted and in need of repairs , which
had been sunk more than fifty years ago ,
judging from its ancient appearance and
awkward rigging , so sailors who have
looked at it told the Philadelphia Times
correspondent. On the afternoon of the
17th of February , oil the coast of the
Faroe Islands , where the Elsa Andersen
had boon blown by a recent galo. there
was a violent upheaval of the sea , about
two miles distant from the spot
where she was fining , that
sent several waves sweeping over
her which did much damage and threat
ened to .siibuierro | her entirely. Wlion
the alarm cau-ed by this sudden sea had
subsided there was seen abint a mile oil
a wreck which had not been thorn be
fore the upheaval of the bottom of the
sea , a phenomenon corresponding to an
earthquake on land. Tlio wreck excited
much interest among the olliccrs and
passengers of the Norwegian vessel , and
nn order was issued to approach the
strange craft , when it was seen that the
remains of her rigging , stumps of masts ,
and the hull itself were covered by thou
sands of sea shells , causing the wreck to
present the appearance of the miniature
ships of shellwork to bo purchased at
any seaside town. The leaks which had
sunk the vessel wore now stopped by
an accumulation of barnacles , and the
derelict rode the waves like a duck.
A boat load of sailors wa dispatched
to board the wreck , and they found the
, hold and the under decks watertight ,
save for a few feet of water , which , cov
ering the cargo , had sunk her. But
the cargo and tlio other contents of the
ship wore entirely destroyed , most of
the former having boon devoured by the
denizens of the deep. In what had" evi
dently bee" ! ! the eaptaiifs berth weie
found several ironbiiind chests which
had resisted to some extent the ravages
of time and the sea , but , on being
opened , the contents wore found to bo
reduced to a sort of pulp , with the ex
ception of a leather bag. This had bo-
c-Jino hardened until it was necessary
to break it open with an ax , when
from it poured a quantity of rusty disks ,
which , being cleaned , proved to bo
golden guineas of the year 180 ! ) and
amounting to the sum of $5,025. There
wore also several watches of gold and a
stomacher of pearls these however , are
valueless , having been blackened by the
action of the water.
The wreck was attached to the Elsa
ndorsjn by a cable and toweil to Galveston -
veston , where it is attracting crowds of
visitors. On the fourth day after its de
tachment from the bottom of the sea by
the quakn the water was all pumped out
of the derelict , when it was found to
contain three skeletons , two of them of
men and the other a woman's , this last
being of a person of gigantic build , and
in life of nearly seven feet in height.
About the neck of ono of the male skele
tons was a chain of gold to which was
attached a silver crucifix and evidently
a rosary. *
MORE SOARED THAN HURT.
A Toothless Jnnltor Itreiks In on u Dress
Hulorm Exhibition.
Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller , the dress
reform lecturer and inventor of the
famous divided skirt , had an amusing
adventure last week , says the R ichester
Herald. As is well known by everyone
who has scon her , Mrs. Miller is not
only beautiful in face but possessed of a
trim figure which is the envy of her
audiences , in her lectures on feminine
underclothing Mrs. Miller is called
upon to make a liberal display of her
graceful form. No male person is over
admitted to a certain discourse delivered
by her , during which the fairlccturor
divests herself of skirts und petticoats
and stands revealed in something that
resembles a complete suit of tights , upon
which foundation she proceeds to
build her Ideas in chemisettes and
feminine pantaloons. On such occasions
Mrs. Jenness Miller's maid does not
trust to haphazard , but goes around tin-
lecture hall , stopping up every crevice
in windows and doors to disappoint the
pooping Toms who might peradventure
wish to enjoy the spectacle on the plat
form. Ono day last week Mrs. Jennoss
Miller was delivering this partiriilar
lecture in a town in tlio northern part of
New York. As the town hull was en
gaged for the afternoon her discourse
was given in the Baptist church. After
the nudieneo of-ladies was seated and
the usual preliminary of sealing up the
windows and doors was c impluled. Mrs.
Miller retired to the vo lry room in
order to prepare for the illustrations of
the lecture. She had taken oil her
ordinary street gurinonts and was ah nit
to stop on the platform in c unplotu
tights , when a fumbling was heard
at the door. " ( Jo away , " cried the
pretty woman in horror. "Go away
ut onco. U m't y.i'i ' kn > w 1 am
in hero ? I hope 3011 are no dread
ful man. " .She" had taken the precau
tion to lock the door , and at that mo
ment hold the key in her hand. Still
the fumbling at the lock continued , and
presently , to her dismay , the vuiu'ru'ilo ' '
sexton selected a ilupilrnto key ( rum
the ring and upi'ii'-d ' the door Mrs.

It is Interestingly illustrative of thoj
remarkable progress in this era that ,
the first line of railway built south of *
Liverpool , and on which' Stephenson ran
his famous engine , the "Rocket , " wtw
superseded by a now structure only
about a week ago. Tlio line runs from
Leicester to Swannington. It lias al
ways boon a local line with little trntllo ,
ami it remains today in almost the prim
itive condition of early days of railroad-
Ing. The "Rocket" was brought to
Leicester by canal for service on this
road. The station was opened July 17 ,
1H32. Railway tickets of metal were
used , and some of these are still in oxlu-
tence.
