HOW WALL 8THKKT STAIITKI).
pcfonie, Wn Origin . of the Hrt
Known TlifroiiKhfnre In Ainrrlrn.
On the morning of March 81,
1(44, a Tnnn of clerkly appear&nc
might have been Been standing at tha
entrance to the dilapidated fortress
of New Amsterdam, with n tiheaf of
ofllclal papers In hlg hands, says
Frederick Trevor Hill In Harper's
Magazine. It was not an Inviting
prospect thnt confronted the observ
er that raw spring morning, for the
roughly built, wooden houses scatter
ed about the fort looked sadly weath-er-bci.it-ii.
nnd the stragRllng. 111
niade roods and paths which served
as streets were littered with refuse
and rubbish of every sort and ankle
deep In mud.
Tho man at the fort did not, how
ever, waste muoh time In gr.v.lng at
these discouraging surroundings.
They were familiar to him In every
dreary detail, for Cornelius Van
Tlenhoven had been secretary of the
council at New Amsterdam for many
years, and If he had ever been dis
turbed by the prevailing wretched
ness of the town, H had long since
ceased to afTord him tho slightest
concern. Blowly turning his back
tc the view, he tacked one of his
ofllclal documents to the wall of the
fort, and then swinging tbout and
picking his way across the miry
ground to a convenient tree, affixed
another paper.
Van Tlcnhoven's handwriting was
easily read. Indeed, good penman
ship was the only qualification he
hnd ever displayed for his office,
that vlrtuVhad wholly failed to en
dear him to the populace, who hated
the very sight of his clerical fist. The
particular notice he had transcribed
that morning, however, was singu
larly free of offense. It merely re
cited a resolution of the director and
council of New Nstherland, that a
barrier bo erected at the north of the
settlement, sufficiently strong to pre
vent the straying of cattle and to
protect ihem from the indians and
"warned" all interested persons to
appear on "next Monday, the 4th of
April, at 7 o'clock," for the prosecu
tion of this work.
It was not long, therefore, before
the colonists were hard at work at
the projected cattlo guard, and with
in h few days it stood com
pleted. There is no authoritative
information as to how It was con
rtnicted, but there Is evidence that
It consisted mainly of untrlmmed
treea felled at the edge oi the ad
Joining forest and piled together to
torn a sort of a barricade, and that
Its northern line, running certainly
from the present William street.
New York City, to what is now
Brcadv.-ny, and porslbly frott shore
to s'.iore, marked the farthest limits
of New Amsterdam, as It then ex
Ifted. and pructlcally determined the
location, of Wall street. Such was
the origin of tho best-known thor
oughfare of the Western Hemisphere.
If You t pnt to Be IOvetl.
Don't contradict people even If
you are sure you are right.
Don't be Inquisitive about the af
fairs of even your most Intimate
friend.
Don't underrate anything because
you don't possess It.
Don'v believe that everybody else
In the world Is happier than you.
Don't declare that you have never
bad any opportunities In life.
Dont believe all the evils you
hear.
Don't be rude to ;-'our Inferiors In
social position.
Don't repeat gossip even If It does
li terest a crowd.
Don't Jeer at anybody's religious
belief.
Candle Grtnse.
Lay out the garment, put a blotter
(common white blotter) on the under
side below point where the spot Is
and one on the top. Then take a
hot Ilatlron and press. The heat will
melt the candle grease and the blot
ter will absorb the whole of It. Re
peat If necessary, using new part of
blotter.
Germany's Hunters.
Consul Ifft of Annaberg reports
that COO, 000 bunting permits are Is
sued every year In Germany. The
government receives in fees some
thing like $1,500,000. The annual
kill by the hunters Is estimated at
66,000,000 pounds, having a market
va'u, of G. 600, 000.
Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with local applications, as they
cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is a blood or consti
tutional disease, and in order to
cure it you must take internal rem
edies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is tak
en internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this
country for years atid is a regular
prescription. It is composed of the
best tonics known, combined with
the blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The per
fect combination of the two iugre
dients is what produces such won
derful results in curing Catarrh.

MEN THAT ARE POISONOUS.
An Experiment That Convinced an
, Inveterate Clgaret Smoker.
"Yon Hinoke 30 ciKurcta a iiuy?"
"Yf, on the overuse.
"Yet you don i blame theiu for your
run-down condition?"
"Nt in the ka.st. I blame my l.aitl
work."
The p!iynicl:in shook hiH lieuil. Ha
smlictl In u vexed way. Tneu w t(..ik
a li-ecli out of a glass Jar.
"Let n;o show you something." ho
an hi. "Hare your arm."
The clgaret fiend bared hU la:?
arm. and the other laid the Iran
bl.u.U leor-h upon It. The leech till
to work btiHlly. It's body began to
swell. Then, all of a midden, a liimj
of L'.iiulder convulsed it, and it Mi to
the floor dead.
"Thut Is what your bloou did to
that leech," Kaid tho iihysiexn. Ho
took up the little corpse between lila
linger and thumb. "Look rt it," Ho
Biild. "Quite dead, yoj tee. You
polhjned it."
t "I gurss it waKti't a healthy leech
In the first place," said the el;;aret
smoker sullenly.
"Wasn't healthy, eh? Well, well
try again."
And the physician clayped two
leeches on the young man's tnin arm."
"If they both die," said the patient,
"I'll swear off or, at least, I'll cut
down my daily allowance from 30 cig
arets to 10."
Even as he spoke tho smaller leech
shivered and dropped on his knee
dead, and a moment later me larger
one fell beside it.
"This Is ghastly," said the young
man. "I am worse than the pestilence
to these leeches.''
"It Is the empyreumatlc oil in your
blood," said the medical man. "All
clgaret fiends have It. Smoke reas
onably, and this oil wiil dls-piK'H",
and you will he no longer deadly to
the leech. Furthermore, your appet
ite will return, you will sleep better, '
and your muddy color will clear up.
It Is not hard work but hard smoking ,
that has brought tlse troubles down '
on you."
"Doc," said thet young man, re
garding the three dead leeches
thoughtfully, "I half believe you're
right."
Follow Instructions.
A promineut physician tells of an
amusing experience of the early days
of his practice when he was residing
In a email town where by far the ma
jority of the workers were coal min
ers. "I was greatly distressed by the un
sanitary conditions prevailing in their
cottages," says the doctor, "and
among other things I tried to explain
to each household the importance of
maintaining a wholesome atmosphere
In their sleeping rooms.
"I laid In a stock of thermometers,
where they were most needed. I took
pains to point out to each family In
turn Just how the thermometer wuld
Indicate the proper degrees of temperature-
"As I was making the rounds one
day I Inquired of tho woman head of
ono establishment whether she had
followed my Instructions.
" 'Yes sir.' answered sue. 'I'm very
Ciu'ei'til about tho Iteimperature. I
watch tho thing all the time as It
haiitfs up there.'
"What do you do when the temper
ature rises above G8?"
" 'I take It down, sir, an' put It out

THB COLUMBIAN,
NEST OF EAGLES.
It Was Discovered on the Famous
Frankenstein Ledge, Crawford
Notch.
More eagles have been seen In end
about the White .Mountains In New
Hampshire recently than since early
pioneer days and the only nest of the
national bird known In New Hamp
shire wnn discovered on the creBt of
the famous Frankenstein ledge in
Crawford Notch.
The species Is the bald eagle of the
mountains, from which tne tradition
al emblem of the United States was
designed, hut It Is not garbed so ex
tensively In trousers as represented
by artist Snlnt-duuden'e bird on the
new gold rolns.
Certain portions of the White Moun
tains afTord a natural habitation for
the eagle, the numbers of which have
largely Increased filnce the stringent
game laws of the Htato prevented the
general rifle shooting whicn once pre
vailed, especially throughout the
"north country."
The nest of Frankenstein leriga wag
located by men In the employ of
Charles II. Morey of Ilemls. They
were attracted by a pair of large
eagles flying almtit In evident anger
und distress, and they searched for the
nrst till they found it In a cleft In
the rocks on the highest point of tne
cliff. There was nn almost perpendic
ular rise on all sides to ren-h the
bienk, and the birds evidently suppos
ed the site to be beyond molesta
tion. Several younger eagles were een In
the vicinity, but they were all beyond
the age requiring the fostering care
of the older birds, and hiwtled across
tne notch to get away from the In
truders. The older birds, however, hung
about the lumbermen and showed evi
dence of a willingness to take part
In a mlxup if too serious danger
threatened their home In the rocky
cleft.
The men got near enough the nest
to note the general characteristics
of its construction, but no attempt
wai made to despoil it, and those who
have since been to the spot, say that
the birds have returned to their abode
and are now living in comfort.
The locality of the nest is almost
Inaccessible, except to the most hard
ened wooamen and mountain climbers
but it may easily be found by those
who have the fortitude to attempt
the climb up Frankenstein ledge.
It Is several years since any of the
birds have been shot In northern New
Haiiiishlre, although numbers liv
quently have been seen about 1,'ko
Wlnnepesaukee in the summer. K'lt
tlirsiiHke Island Is a favorite fevling
ground for them until the snak?3
hibernate. Tho Island Is madj up
of ledges and Is reputed to lie he
home of thousands of reptiles. It is
one of the few bodies of land In Uiko
Wlnnepesaukee which docs not boast
summer cottages or camps. iJoKto;:

Pumice Stones.
Pumice is a mineral, agreeing ta
chemical composition with obsidian,
of which it may be regarded as a pe
culiar form, rapidly cooled fnr. a
melted and boiling state, and it gen
erally contains some prophyry.
The stone is very hard, and at the
same time very brittle, but its most
singular property is that of limiting
on water. In the arts It is used for
pilshing wood. Ivory, 'metals, glass,
elates, marble and lithographic stones,
and in the preparation of vellum,
parchment and some kinds of leather.

JUNE ON THE
Restful, delightful, interesting, and instructive, there is
no trip like that on the Great Lakes; those inland seas which
form the border line between the United States and Canada
And June is one of the most charming months in the year in
which to take the trip.
F6r comfort the fine passenger steamships of the Anchor
Line have no superiors. As well-appointed as the palatial
ocean greyhounds which plow the Atlantic, their schedule
allows sufficient time at all stopping places to enable the
traveler to see something of the great lake cities and to view
in daylight the most distinctive sights of the lakes, and the
scenery which frames them. -
The trip through the Detroit River, and through Lake
St. Clair, with its great ship canal in the middle of the lake,
thence through Lake' Huron, the locking of the steamer
through the great locks at the Soo, and the passage of the
Portage Entry, lake and canal, across the upper end of Mich
igan are novel and interesting features.
The voyage from Buffalo to Duluth covers over eleven
hundred miles in the five days' journey. Leaving Buffalo,
the steamships Juniata and Tionesta, make stops at Erie,
Cleveland, Detroit, Mackinac Island, the Soo, Marquette,
Houghton and Hancock, and Duluth,
The 1908 season opens on June 16, when the Steamer
Tionesta will make her first sailing from Buffalo.
The Anchor Line is the Great Lake Annex of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, and the service measures up to the high
standard set by the "Standard Railroad of America."
An illustrated folder, giving sailing dates of steamers,
rates of fare, and other information is in course of prepara
tion, and may be obtained when ready from any Pennsylva
nia Railroad Ticket Agent, who is also prepared to book pass
engers who may desire to take this trip through the Great
Lakes and back. 6-ii-i8.
