A LAND OF NAPTlglA.

inflammable Nature of Everything at the
7:: kn Petroleum ‘Vells.

Probably there is no spot on earth
.vhere more highly inflammable mat-
:er lies exposed to such terrible con-
‘iagraticns as that just reported from
Baku than in the district lying just be—
rond that town on the shores of the
Caspian. Everything seems saturated
with petroleum; the air one breathes is
vaden with a greasy odor, and the wa—
:ers of the bay are covered with an
rideseent sheen which at night may
no set on fire with most weird effect.
N’ot only is black naphtha to be seen
11 monster fountains playing from the
very earth, but white naphtha flows of
Itself in places, and a short way ofi are
:he natural gas vents over which the
natives do their cooking without coal,
ind which once fed the sacred Zoroast-
-i-an fires. Everything round is sat-
urated. No one objects to naphtha
there, and the men even wash in it,
using sand therewith, while all em-
cloyed have a fixed allowance for fuel
ind light.

All around between the wells lie

akes of seething naphtha, which, when
:lear of sand and stones, will be pump-
ed into iron reservoirs. The roads
have naphtha streams by the sides,
1nd naphtha pipes of all sizes cross and
‘ntcrlace in all directions until they
are hardly passable. One rashly
:hrown match would set miles in a.
blaze, and the most stringest regula-
tions are wisely enforced. But for
them disasters would be terribly fre~
quent.
'A very different appearance is pre-
sented by the palpitating Black Town,
where in gigantic furnaces the naphtha
is distilled and churned and distilled
again as benzine, kerosene and vase-
line, and many valuable chemicals are
one by one removed, till only the
thick, black residue, of use for fuel, is
left, and much of this is used to feed
the furnaces themselves. Boilers so
heated closely resemble those intend-
ed for coal and wood except that on the
Inside of the fire doors are stout jets,
through which it is pumped the length
of the firebox, forming bright tongues
of heat-giving flames. Railways and
steamers alike are so heated in Rus-
sia—Pall Mall Gazette.

 

Court Opened On Time. '
The Omaha World-Herald recalls a.
story of Judge Gaslin. Gaslin opened
the spring term of court at Minden a
number of years ago with the an-
nouncement that matters 'had to be
pushed. He kept the lawyers jumping
all day, but his remarks when adjourn-
ing court for the night awoke a pro-
test.
“Court is adjourned until 7 o’clock
to-morrow morning,” said the judge.
John IzicPheely, who was then
County Attorney, and had a number
of cases to try, arose and protested
against such an unseemly hour for
convening court.
“Your honor, 7 o’clock is an incon-
venient hour to open court. I would
suggest 9,0’clock as more convenient.”
“This court will convene to-mor-
row morning at 7 o’clock,” shouted
Gaslin. “You lawyers are not a .bit
better than the farmers, and they have
to get up at 4 o’clock in the morn-
ing to pay the expenses of running
this court. Court’s adjourn-ed till 7
o’clock.”
And it opened on time the following
morning.

 

Dogs “'ho Beg for Charity.

One of the English railways, the
Great Western 1, think, has for some
years past adopted a novel method of
collecting money for the widows and
orphans of men killed or dying in their
service. One or more dogs, big, noble
fellows, wearing a wide collar on
which is fastened a. money box with
an inscription regarding their mission,
go about collecting funds. They travel
the whole length of the road and are
at home at all its stations. This
summer one of them put his head into
the open door of our compartment
while waiting at a station. At the
station at Leamington, I came with
surprise upon a very life like stuffed
dog, sitting proudly upright, with a
money box attached to his collar and
at his feet a card bearing the following
lines:

"Widows and Orphans. their case I deplore.
0ft in my life I have helped them before.
Old pitiless death took all but my skin.

So here is my box, please drop a coin in.”

It would be interesting to know the
story of the old fellow whose.ch’ari-
table works did not end with his life.

vocate. -

 

Reading Character from the Walk,

A Washington policeman says he
can read character by the manner in
which people walk. Energetic people
walk rapidly and with firm stepS;
slovenly persons just slouch along;
sentimental and sporty ones walk
partly on their toes; sneaks shu'fiie
their feet, and men of solid-character
put their heels down hard; proud men
and women walk with a springy step
and thieves do not stand straight on
their feet.

 

Great Picture Buyer.

“What do you think of an artist who
painted cobwebs on the ceiling so
truthfully that the servant wore her-
self into an attack of nervous prostra-
tion trying to sweep them down.”
Hostess (a woman of experience)—
“There may have been such an artist,
but there never was such a servant.” ‘ '

She (gushingly)—“'I‘here are days

 

when we seem more in unison with na-h
lure than at . other times, when our

hearts seem to beat in accord with the
sublime harmony of the universe. Have
you ever noticed it?” He—“Indeed I
have. It is always that way with me
on pay day.” - . - _.

 

HIRED WEBSTER FOR A WEEK.

A Fine Scheme hy‘ “’hich the Farmer
Made Five Hundred Dollars. .

Of‘ course, Webster was in demand
by those who could afiord to pay for
his services. A sharp Nantucket man
Is said to have got the better of the
great defender of the Constitution in
an amusing way, however. He had a
small case which was to be tried at
Nantucket, one week in June, and he
posted to Webster’s ofiice in great
haste. It was a. con-test with a neigh-
bor over a. matter of considerable local

interest, and his pride as a litigant

was at stake. He told Webster the
particulars, and asked what he would
charge to conduct the case. ‘

“Why,” said Webster, “you can’t af‘
ford to 'hire me. I should have to stay
down there the whole week, and my
fee would be more than the whole case
is worth. I couldn’t go down there
for less than $1,000. I could try every
case on the docket as well as one, and
it wouldn’t cost any more, for one
case would take my time for the en-
tire week, anyway.”

“All right, Mr. Webster, quickly re-
sponded the Nantucketer. “Here’s
your $1,000. You com-e down, and I’ll
fix it so you can try every case.”

Webster was so amused over this
proposition that he kept his word. He
spent the entire‘week in Nantucket,
and appeared on one side or the other
in every case that came up for hear-
ing. The shrewd Nantucketer hired
Daniel out to all his friends who were
in litigation, and received in return
about $1,500, so that he got Webster’s
services for nothing, and made a good
profit to boot. '

If that man was alive in these days
of trusts and sydicates he would prob—
ably be at the head of a legal trust,
controlling the services of all the big
lawyers of the country—Boston Her—

CLOCK IN A PAINTING.

 

George W. Childs Offered 8500 for It but
It VVasn’t for Sale.

The queerest oil painting in Phila-
delphia came from the brush of a
Frenchman, his subject being a church
in Stuttgart, Germany. There is a
clock in the church tower, but it is
not a. painted clock. A real timepiece
of small diameter occupies the space.
It has a. cathedral gong, which strikes
every half-hour. Each hour is cele—
brated first by chimes and then: by two
German airs played from a music box.
This musical mechanism occupies a.
box-like apartment, which is connect-
ed with the frame of the picture.
Change of temperature affects the pe-
culiar clockwork, as it runs very regu—
larly in the summer, but in winter the

phimes and music are seldom heard.

The owner has had much trouble in
getting it repaired, and no clockmaker
in America seems to understand the
queer mechanism. The painting, with
its accessories, was made in 1700, and
caused no end of comment when first
brought to this country. The late
Georgre W. Childs offered the husband
of the owner $500 for it, as he desired
to add it to his museum of clocks, but
the offer was declined—Philadelphia.

A Klondike Cow.

A farmer who lives near Chicago
owned a cow, and five years ago the
farmer’s wife placed $500 in gold for
safe keeping in a boxful of bran in the
cellar. One day, during the mother’s
absence, the children found the box of
bran and carried it to the barn for the
cow to eat. When the woman con-
cluded to look at her treasure again, it
was gone and she believed it was stol-
en. About a week later the cow was
taken ill, and acted so strangely that
when she died, a veterinarian asked
leave to dissect her, to discover the
cause. When the stomach was opened,
there was $500 in gold, and the farmer’s
wife did not regret the cow’s death one
bit. "

proved that wood covered with tin is
better than solid iron.

INJURIOUS BLACR’BOARos.

'v'hét» Ones Coming Into Use—Considered
[loner for the Children’s Eye’s.

Vi’ar is being made in some quarters

on the abominable blackboards in use
in public schools very generally. It is
a well-established fact that the worst

color on the eyes is black, and even—

tailors, when men’s clothing used to be
made by hand, were accustomed to
charge more for making a. suit of black
clothes than any other, for the reason
that the color was so much more in-
jurious to the eyes.

Experiment, in the color of so—call’ed
blackboards have been made with a.
view of determining what color is least
injurious to the eyes of children, and
it has been proved that some shade of
cream white, a dead surface of soft,
mellow tint, varied in its degree of
whiteness to suit the quality and quan-
tity of light, is preferable to all or any
other. The crayons to be used on such
boards should be of a clear, sky-blue
color, a canary orange of a clear dark
green. '

In schools where this modern board
has been introduced in place of the old
black surface, with its white chalk,
there has been not only an improve—
ment in the eyes of the children who
have had to use such boards, but a
great increase in the amount of atten-
tion they have given to exercises on the
board, by reason of the greater ease
with which their interest could be re-
tained. When so much can be so easi-
ly accomplished it seems almost crimi~
nal to retain in use the old blackboard.
It has done injury enough to entitle it
to be retired—Chicago News.

 

AN EARNEST PAINTER.
Sir Frederick Leighton Taught One of
’Our Artists a Valuable Lesson.

An eminent American artist, who
is now an old man, has never forgot-
ten the lesson he learned from Sir
Frederick Leighton in his youth.
Leighton was then a brilliant and fas-
cinating young painter, whose future
was still before him. He was at work
upon an Italian landscape, or upon a
picture with an Italian background.
In that background he‘was anxious to
introduce an olivetree. He remem-
bered a tree which he had seen in the
south of Italy, and remembered it
quite distinctly enough to reproduce
it, but he was not content to trust his
memory.

The American artist remembers how
Leighton came into a cafe in Rome on
his way to southern Italy, making the
long journey from England for the ex-
press‘purpose of studying that olive
tree and of taking home an exact
sketch of it, and he remebers also
how, four or five weeks later, the ar-
dent young Englishman, brilliant, en-
thusiastic, versatile, but with a. capac-
ity for taking pains, reappeared with a
wonderful sketch of the olive tree, up-
on which he had spent days of unbro-
ken observation and work. From this
little incident the American student
learned a lesson, which he never for-
got, and which went far to secure the
success which came to him later in life.
The story illustrates the great quality
which lies behind all real success, alike
for the man of genius and the man of
talent—Outlook.

A Necessity for Decistve'A'etlon.

The woman higher-education move~
ment has received a severe check,
which may work out ,a wholesome reac-
tion in time. In Alexandria, at the
delta of the Nile, a. woman's review
has just been started which is in
strange contrast to reviews on the
same theme published in England,
America, and Paris. It appears under
the patronage of the Khedive’s mother,
and contains articles on the duties of
mothers and wives, on rules of hygi-
ene, and practical household medicine;
there are also essays on history and
politics and the indispensable courier
of European fashions. The new re-
view starts out under the most favor-
able auspices, for it can at least count
among its initial subscribers the dwell-
ers of the harems. The “new woman”
should at once bestir herself to keep
the obnoxious, old-fashioned principles
from getting beyond the Nile Valley.

. HIS FIR-ST DEER.

{31" Hunter Was Seized with Panic and
Failed to shoot.

Buck fever is a hunter’s disease, the
Sj~‘:‘.iptcms of which are pretty well
known. but they have seldom been
more feelingly described than by a
Marquette citizen, Whose first experi-
ence in deer-shooting is related in the
Mining Journal.

After spending a. few hours tramping
through the woods, feeling tired, he sat
down on a log to rest. Like most hun-
ters, he had taken his pipe and tobacco
along. Filling the pipe, he smoked
for a time Without interruption, when,
happening to turn his head a little to
one side, he saw a. large buck coming
straight toward him: As luck would
have it, he had sat down to smoke near
a deer trail. I

The deer came nearer and nearer,
until he was nearly opposite the place
where th hunter sat concealed. While
the hunter was watching the approach
of the deer he forgot that he had a
gun, and that the deer was his mean”
He began to tremble and shake in:
every limb and joint, and it was diffi-
cult for him to restrain a. yell of
fright. .

He watched and trembled until the
deer passed his hiding place, and went
into the thicket beyond. Then feeling
for his pipe, he discovcrd that it lay
on the ground near his feet. By the
time he had picked it up the deer was
out of range, and then he discovered
that in his excitement he had bitten
the mouthpiece of his pipe in two.

He was greatly relieved to see the
deer move on, as it seemed to him
that he was the game and the deer
was the hunter.

 

A Co’nscientious Doctor.

A good true story is told of a. San
Francisco woman and a doctor with a.
:onscience. The doctor performed a
tuccessful operation for a rich woman,
ind when asked for his bill, presented
me for $50. The lady smiled and said,
‘Do you consider that a reasonable
:harge, considering my circumstan-
ees?” The doctor replied: “That is
my charge for that operation; your
:ircumstances have nothing to do with
it.” The lady drew a check for $500,
ind presented it to him. He handed it
back, saying: “I cannot accept this.
My charge for that operation is $50.”
‘Very well,” the lady replied. “Keep
the check, and put the balance to my
:redit.” Some months after, she re-
:eived a, lengthy itemized bill, upon
which were entered charges for treat-
ment of various kinds, rendered to all
sorts of odds and ends of humanity,
male and female, black and white, who
and been mended at 'her expense. She
was so delighted at it that she im—
mediately placed another check for
5500 to her credit on the same terms,
and it is now' being earned in the
tame way.

Wilhelm [L's Toad Talisman.

The house of Hohenzollern possesses
a family talisman- Since the time of
the elector, John Cicero, who flourish-
ed toward the end of the fifteenth cen-
tury, each ruler has, when possible be-
fore dissolution, handed to his success—
or a sealed packet. This contains a ring,
in which is set a black stone, said to
have been dropped by a. huge toad on
the coverlet of a princess of the family
just as she had given birth to a son.
Frederick the Great found the ring in
an envelope, which also inclosed a
memorandum, written by Frederick 1.,
stating its value and its mode of trans—1
mission. Schneider, the librarian of
William I., declares that he saw the
packet handed by Geling, the treasurer,
to his royal master on his accession.
and further asserts that he read his
account of the talisman to the Emper-
or, who fully confirmed it.——St. James’
Gazette.

A “'oman President of a. Model Town.

There is in Russia a. district Which
is wholly administered and during
most of the time exclusively inhab-
ited by women. It is .the Province
of Smolensk, and comprises a district
of about fifteen square miles, from
which all the able-bodied males emi-
grate in the spring and proceed to
neighboring towns and ,districts ill
search of work, remaining away
about nine months of the year. In
their absence the women cultlvam the
fields and manage local affairs gen-
erally, under the presidency of a
woman Mayor. Before nightfall the
women assemble in a sort of club-
house and play cards till one or two
in the morning. Virtue there is com-
patible with unlimited cakes and ale,
and though the hours are late and
so much time is glven to amusement,
the commune is prosperous, disorder
is unknown, and it is one of the best
conducted portions of the Empire.
