\TOO VALUABLE TO EXECUTE.

It Is Dem-am]. However, That He Shall
Die When His Work In Finished.

Theci‘ty of .San Luis Potosi is build-
lng a hall that will be the eighth won-
der,of the world. It has cost millions
and will cost millions more.
years ago a-dozen skilled stonemasons
from Pennsylvania were imported to
do the ornamental carving of its front.
One Fourth of July a member of the
party got drunk and killed a Mexican
in a- barroom brawl. His compan-
ions, in the language of General Cook,
“rose like a flock of quail and lit run-
ning.” He was tried and condemned
to be shot. Then arose the certainty
that wit-h him in the grave there was
no one to do the fancy carving on the
City Hall. It was decided to keep him
at work and shoot him when he had
finished. Every day, in summer’s
shine and winter's snow, this work—
man hangs like a fly against the great
white wall and peeks away at gar-
goyles and grifiin’s heads. A file of
soldiers stands in the street looking
up at him. His life ends with his job,
and they say that he is the "most de-
liberate workman ever in the Mexi-
can Republic or any other republic.
At the present rate of progress, ac-,
cording to the best obtainable calcu-
lations, the front of the City Hall will
be sufficiently scrolled and carved
about the middle of V1950.—Chicago

PATENT LIFE SAVING BELT.

Can Be Worn Under the Clothing \Vith-
out Attracting Notice. '
Among recent English patents is a
belt for saving life, which consists of
a band of canvas, with cork layers at
intervals. Attached to the belt are
four floats or bladders of rubber, With
a protective covering. This is strap<
ped around the body under the arms,
the bladders being inflated with air by
the wearer by blowing through a tube
which runs around the belt, and is
fitted with a self-closing valve. The
filling takes less than half a minute.
Equipped with one of these belts, a
man can walk into deep water with
his clothes and shoes on, and be sup-
ported with ease in a perpendicular p0~
sition without making any effort. He
can, in fact, smoke a cigar while in
the water. This life preserver does
not prevent its wearer from swimming,
but if he is exhausted it enables him
to float in an erect position, it being
impossible for his head to fall under
the water. A passenger at sea who is
nervous can wear a belt under his
clothes without its being noticed by
his fellow-travelers. '

APPLE CORES FOR CHAMPAGNE.

the Paring and Core: Dried and Shipped
to France.

The practice of the economies in the
fruit-raising sections of the west has
developed a new article of export. Un-
til recently the orchard owners and the
evaporator managers did not think of
utilizing the cores and the parings of
apples. They occasionally sold them
to the jelly-makers or fed them to the
hogs, but more generally allowed them
to accumulate as refuse in great heaps,
which slowly fermented and decayed.
This year, in many places, the parings
and the cores are being saved. They
are spread out in the hot sun and"
dried, after which they are packed in
large sacks and held for buyers, who
gather them up and send away in car
lots. The destination of the dried par-
ings and cores in these large quanti-
ties is France. It is no secret that the
refuse of the orchards of the Missouri
valley and the Ozark country is now,
largely employed in the manufaéture
of champagne by the thrifty wine-
makers of the vineclad slopes of
France—St. Louis Globe Democrat.

SCARED THREE MONTHS LATER.

A Curious Incident of Where the Fright
was Postponed.

Cortland Cramp, son of the famous
shipbuilder, was at sea. some years ago.
During a frightful storm he was swept
overboard. He kept his nerve. He
was perfectly calm, and recalled that
people who were washed overboard by
me wave were sometimes washed back
by another. Presently his hand touch-
ed a‘ rope. He grasped it firmly and
held on until the captain of the vessel,
seeing the rope dragging in the water,
pulled it in, and pulled Mr. Cramp on
board with it. Mr. Cramp was none
:he worse for his experience, but one
lay, quite three months afterward,
when he was on land, a realization of
:he danger he had been in came over
him suddenly, and his knees fairly
knocked together with fear. He was
in s perfect panic from fright, and to
this day, whenever he goes into the
surf, the recollection of his dreadful
experience always returns to him, and
1e never ventures into deep water.~

CARING Fos TOURISTS.

“'iIlc-Awake Japanese Organization tn
Luokr‘flel’ Foreigners.

 

The large number of tourists who in-

recent years have visited Japan .have
added considerably to the revenue of
the .country. It has been calculated
that every visitor spent in his travels
not less than $500, and the aggregate
result of the arrivals from foreign
parts meant between $2,000,000 and
$3,000,000 to Japanese bread-earners.
Most of this fell into the hands of cu-
rio dealers, who palmed off inferior
goods on ignorant westerners, and of
the guides who acted as their agents.

To remedy this abuse a society was
formed in 1893, on the initiative of a
number of Japanese noblemen and gen-
tlemen, assisted by several influential
foreign residents. It was called the
Ki-hin-Kai, and its objects were to
extend a welcome to foreign tourists,

and to render them every assistance:

during "their stay in Japan. It aims
at bringing .within the tourist’s reach
means of accurately observing the fea-
tures of the country and the character-
istics of the people; visiting public
buildings and places famous for scenic
seeing objects of art, both
ancient and modern; entering into so-
cial and commercial relations with the
people; and in short, affording them
all facility and convenience toward
the accomplishment of their aims, thus
indirectly promoting, in however small
a degree, the cause of International
intercourse and trade. Arrangements
are made for the provision of trust-
worthy guides, and facilities are given
for travel and sightseeing. Entrance
is obtained to all the Governmental es-
tablishments and to the places of in-
terest in the different parts of the
country. Introductions are provided
to manufacturers and merchants, so
that, although the main object of the
society is of a socialnature, it may be
of great service to those who go to
investigate commercial and industrial
conditions. According to the rank or
personal record of a tourist, the soci-
ety will introduce him at his request
to any Japanese nobleman or gentle-
man, if the circumstances seem to war—
rant such an introduction. In the case
of a distinguished tourist the society
might make arrangements at its own
cost to entertain him, so that its mem-
bers and friends may make his ac-
quaintance.

The society is maintained by sub-
scriptions from sympathizers and by
contributions from its own members.
The tourist is therefore charged only
fifty sen (a little over twenty-five
cents) as a fee to recover part of the
expenses involved in the services ren-
dered to him. On payment of the fee
the tourist is presented with a map
of the district in which he wishes to
travel, bearing the name of the hold-
er and the society’s seal, and its pre-
sentation at any of the offices of the
society will secure to him all the priv-
ileges of that corporation. Guide
books, volumes containing informa-
tion about the country, catalogues of
works on Japan, lists of Japanese pro-
ductions, advertisements relating to
the facilities for travel, etc., are kept

at the society’s library, to which the.

tourist can have access at any time.
American visitors to Japan, of whom
the number is largely increasing every
year, will do well to-take advantage of
the services of this excellent society,
—Pitt-sburg Dispatch.

The Tongue Not the Faulty Member.

Of all the organs of the human anat-
omy none is more often falsely ac-
cused of wrong-doing than the inno-
cent tongue. Even in sacred writ it is
called “that unruly member," and we
are adjured to hold it, as though it
were possessed of an evil spirit that
would lead it and us to we know not
what excesses.

But in truth, the faithful, obedient
tongue has nothing to do with our
wicked and hasty words, our false wit-
nessings and our mockings. Our
proneness to lay the blame upon it is
only another manifestation of that
natural tendency to shift responsibil-
ity which Father Adam first manifest-
ed in the Garden of Eden. The tongue
indeed! When did it utter naughty
words unprompted by a perverse and
wayward mind? The trouble lies
much deeper than with the tongue; it
is imbedded in our very natures.

So “holding the tongue,” of itself is
not sufiicient. The gossip must not :be
content with maintaining a martyr-
like silence; he must eradicate his love
of trivial things and substitute for. it
a broad and healthy interest in grpat
things; the man of hasty words must
not be satisfied with choking back the
hot invectives, he must cultivate a
spirit of tolerance and gentler charity
for all mankind. “Holding the tongue”
is only a virtue as it helps us to con—
quer the desire to use it wrongly. ——Wo-
mankind.

edged, with an aéquiescent sigh, that
therein lay the pith of the problem.

The New York Household Economic
Association, at the Carnegie Building,
was deep in the study of “How to ele-
vate household labor to the dignity of
a profession.”

“Women,” continued the trenchant
.peakel, “have lacked respect for the

.laws of nature.’ ,
The Economites shook themselves

together.

“Oh! Yes they have! They have fear-
ed thunder and ignored the microbe.
They shriek at the sight of a toad
and get off a car "backward."

Dr. Green was piling up her accusa~
lions.

“They expect hot, foul air to come
down from the top of a room and go
obediently out of the window. Yes,”
ahe nodded vigorously, “and they poke
1 fire on top”-—this with supreme dis-
lain—“and then wonder why it doesn t
burn.’

The women gasped as she neatly hit
Iff their little weaknesses. But worse
was to come.

“Women are mere servile imitators.
[‘0 most of them the chemistry of foods
is an abstruse science.”

Dr. Green was rounding up the case
for the prosecution. Firing a search-
Ing eye upon the culprits before her

“As to bread-making and the baking
If it, how many of you know what

There was a silence. Not an aspir-

“I went to the council of Women‘s

“In Boston,” suggested a woman
from the City of Culture, “the mistress

This method did not altogether com-

was a general raising of eyebrows.

An Inapt Illustration.

It is related by an English publica-
.ion that a Scotch clergyman, remark-
Ible for the simplicity and force‘ of
lis style, was one day discoursing on
:he text, “Except ye repent, ye shall
;ikewise perish.”

In order to impress upon his hearers
:he importance of attending to the
solemn truth contained in the passage,
is made use of a figure of a very sim-
ole but striking character.

“Yes, my friends,” he emphatically
1rged, “unless ye repent ye shall sure-
.y perish,” placing one of his fingers
)n the wing of a blue flvahich alight-
ad on his Bible, and having his right
land uplifted, “just as sure, my
friends, as I’ll flatten this blue fly!”

Before the blow was struck the fly
got off, upon which the minister, at the
20p of his voice, exclaimed:

“Ah, well! There’s a chance for ye
yet, my friends!”

GRAVE CLOTHES CURED HIM.

The Influence of Mind Over Body Saved a
Man’s Life.

The'influence of mind over body is
well illustrated in this story from
a northern Penobscot town, and which
is said to be vouched for on good au-
thority:

A man well along in years became il?
ald the physician told the members 01
the family that there was no possible
chance for his recovery. They were
advised to prepare‘for the worst, and
finally death was regarded as a matter
of a very few hours. A well disp0sed
attendant made all preparations to pre-
pare the body for burial as soon as life
surrendered its hold, and in order It:
have the clothes ready for immediate
use they were brought into the sick
room. The sick man opened his eyes
and his glance rested on the clothes.
He recognized them instantly, and the
import ,of the proceedings flashed
through his enfeebled mind. What lit-
tle energy was left in his system was
massed then and there to utter an em-
phatic expression that wouldn’t look
well in print. Perhaps the attendant
wasn’t surprised- Some say she came
near having a fit, but that doesn’t mat-
ter. . ~

From the moment the sick man dis.
covered his grave clothes resting 01:
the back of a chair there was a de-
cid'rd improvement_ in his condition
and he has since enjoyed many years
of robust health—Kennebec Journal.

GI-IINssE GAME BIRDS

for ‘ American ,

 

Something Interesting
-- Ip‘ortsmen.

John' Good-now, the .new Consul _
General at Shanghai, China, expresses
an intention to fulfill the demands of
American sportsmen by introducing
various breeds of Chinese game' birds
into this country. When John O.
Denny was Consul General at the port '
of Shanghai in. 1881 he became deeply
interested in this work, and it was he
who first introduced the Chinese pheas-
ant, now counted by hundreds of
thousands in the forest lands of Ore—
gon.- The bird is now known as the
"Denny” pheasant, and if Mr. Good<
now lives up to his promise we may,
yet expect to see a breed of birds‘
thriving under the title of the “Good-
now grouse,” for there are several
speCieas of this game bird in China that
are susceptible of transportation into
Minnesota territory ,

Judge Denny’s first experiment in
1881 was a failure. The next year he
tried again, with success. Twenty-
eight birds arrived at Portland, Ore.,
safely. They were immediately set
free among the grain fields and
brush-covered and woodless prairies
at Judge Denny’ s brother’s ranch in
Linn county.

What hap ned was really very mar-
velous... Not 'ng was seen of the new
bird for a. year or two, and. then, here
and there, in diflerent portions of the
country, shy little coveys made their
appearance, and before five years had
elapsed the cucketti-ng of the brilliant
plumaged male birds was far more
commonly heard than that. of the na-
tive grouse. Through Judge Denny’s

, instrumentali'ty the Legislature passed
i ‘1. law protecting the new pheasant for

five years, and at the expiration of

~ this period the time was extended for

 

another five years. At the end of ten
years Oregon was literally alive with
the Chinese pheasant, which delights
the heart of every sports-man with its
swift and rapid flight, and tempts the
most epicurean palate by its delicate

* white flesh.

Last year the game warden of Linn
county reported that over 13,000 birds
of this family had been killed in the
short open season now allowed in that
county alone, and they are now num-
bered by the hundreds of thousands
and cover four states in the Northwest.
This prodigious increase is a problem
for the statistician, and it will strike
every one with wonder that twenty-
eight birds in fifteen short years
should have increased to countless
thousands, but when it is explained
that each mother bird during the
spring and summer season lays from
fifty to sixty eggs and hatches in three
sittings almost as many youngsters
the problem loses its mystery—Min-
neapolis Journal.

 

THE AMEER OF AFGHANlSTAN.

An Autocratlc Ruler 17110 is Governed by
the Will of His People.

The Amgéer of Afghanistan, who was
at first suspected of complicity with the
Indian border troubles, but whose in-
nocence is now well established, is one
of the most autocratic monarchs in
the world. Not the Czar of Russia
nor the Sultan of Turkey is more ab-
solute in authority. Yes he is, or
makes himself, curiously subject to
the will of the people in some respects.
A few years ago he greatly desired to
visit England and other European
countries, and the British Government'
was anxious that he should do so. But
he did not venture to do so without
the consent of his people. So he
took a plebiscitum on the subject. He
sent a proclamation to every village
in his empire, telling what he wanted
to do, and explaining the advantages
that would accrue- to him and to the.
empire from such a tour, and asking
the people to take a. vote on the sub-

. tact and let him know the result. So

the question was submitted to univer-
sal suffrage. After a few weeks the

Subsidizedflotels in Norway.

Some people who have recently re-
turned from a tour in ont-of—the-way
parts of Norway tell of a capital hotel
~system in vogue there, which might be
adopted with advantage in some parts
of Scotland and Ireland. In every
village where no hotel exists some
one of the more prominent inhabitants
Is subsidized by the Norwegian Gov—
crnment, and in return is bound to
provide accommodation for not less
than four travelers; he may take in
more if he chooses, but four .is the
minimum. Norway owes much of her
prosperity to tourists, and she certain-
ly treats them well.-—The Sketch.
