The largest body of water in the world having no outlet iu the ocean is tho Caspian Sea, it be ing 180,000 squaro miles iu. ex tent. Hubert Hoffman, arrested for counterfeiting near Franklin Mills, eight miles north of Han cock, has been convicted of the charge. He put up at the house of John Mann, a farmer, who testilied that Hoffman made $1.20 in counterfeit nickels in his pres ence and tendered the spurious coin in payment of board. Mann made information against him. Hoffman claimed to have been prospecting for coal and iron and to have found the kit of tools and the coin in the mountains. He had intended to turn them over to the authorities and made the coin just for fun at Mann's house. Tho jury promptly convicted him Sentence has not yet been im posed. In old English times, when each family was obliged to sift its own Hour, it sometimes hap pened that an energetic man would turn his sieve so rapidly as to cause it to catch lire. The style of sieve used in those days was called a "temse," and it be came a customary sayiug that a lazy man would never set the temse on Are. Now it happens that tho name Of the Thames is pronounced like tho name of this flour sieve, and after many years, when the old-fashioned temse was forgotten, it was thought that setting the temse on fire meant setting the river on fire, and that is why to-day we say that a stu pid person will never set the river on fire. After tho battle of Antietam Quartermaster L. P. Ashmead was stationed in Chambersburg for the purpose.of procuring sup plies for the Union army. Under his orders Thomas P. Blair, of Shippensburg, purchased a large quantity of oats and corn which was captured in Stuart's raid in 18G2. It was never paid for but both houses of Congress, have just passed a bill that appropri ates $32,000, being for 25,000 bush els of oats at 80 cents a bushel, and 12,000 bushels of corn at $1. a bushel sold by Blair to the Gov ernment. The original claimant is dead. Congressman Mahon, who introduced the bill, says that the Blair claim is the only ono of the kind ever presented to Cong ress from Pennsylvania. Queen Victoria was 81 years old on May 24. She has reigned over the British empire for al most sixty-three years. It lias recoived largo additions during her prolonged reign and is still growing. No sovereign in the world holds the unique position in the affection of mankind that is held by this aged queen. And sho is loved not so much because of her power to govern wisely as because of the nobility of her character and the splendid record of her life. For many years af ter tho death of the princo con sort, the husband whom she teu derly loved, she kept herself withdrawn as much as possible from the public gaze, conducting the affairs of government through her ministers. Indeed it was on ly a few weeks ago that tho aged queen suddenly came to tho front and by her trip to Ireland and the accompanying incidents, dis played statesmanlike qualities of a high orderi Her own people love and reverence her while Americans respect her for the domestic virtues which shine conspicuously in her life and which she has always honored in others. It is pleasant to hear that she Is still in the enjoyment of excellent health and that tho prospects for the continuance of her reign are excellent. Altoona Tribune. DiuviNu jo riu; u:i r "Though I knew from experi oiiNthat keeping to the left was the rulv of the road iu England," observed a well known horseman, "I did not know that tho rule prevailed in Canada until week before last, when I took a short drive on tho outskirts of Toronto. I have been a horseman for many years, and kuow the rules of tho road pretty well, but I had con siderable difficulty to keep out of trouble there, I assure you. "A friend loaned mo a nice turnout, which had rather a free stepper in harness. At the first turn out I naturally turned to tho right in passing. The man I met was pretty well fixed, also, in tho way of a horse, and tho first thing I knew wo came to gether in splash-bang style, tho result of it being that I lost a wheel and got pitched out into tho road. I supposed, of course, that he would turn to the right aud he supposed, for "imilar rea sons, for he thought from tho kind of horse that I was driving that I knew what I was about, that I would turn to the left. Mu tual explanations followed, but I was tho looser iu the transaction, for I felt obliged to have the mis hap fixed up at my expense. "An American driving in Can ada is, as a consequence, in one worry, for it matters not how clever one is with the reins it is extremely hard to unlearn the ruleswhichobtain in this country of keeping to the right. Tho Canadiaus have an argument to prove that they are right in the matter, and that keeping to tho left.is much safer in the way of preventing collisions on the road, but I could not understand it, aud three days later I had a sim ilar trouble happen in Quebec, though in that case it was the other team that got the worst of it. Still it was just as annoying to nie, though not as expensive. "It is the same thing with foot passengers aud bicycles, and the American wheelmen have a hard timeinconsequenceof it,collisions being frequent, and in some in stances, very dangerous. The Canadiaus may be right about it, but just the same, no American can ever get it in his head thor oughly that they are. The Cana dians drive from tho right side of the team as we do, and the whip socket is on the right. But all the rest of it is to tho left. " Washington Star. HOLD Ul YOUR HEAD. Hold up your head! Your teacher has probably dinned that at you until you are tired of hear ing it, but it can't be too often urged. It is the only way to keep your shoulders back and avoid'thaf'stoop-shouldered "con dition that brings on lung trouble, spinal trouble, and a host of oth er ailments that help to make a short life and a miserable ono. If you go around with your head lopping forward you will soon begin to feel as "hang-dog" as you look. You get as slouchy in your dress as you are in your at titude; you become irresolute as to speech, absent minded and a poor, sneaking counterfeit of the boy or girl you ought to be. Hold up your head physically and it will help you to hold up your head spiritually and mentally. You will breathe deeper, walk freer and see more of the world. The earth is beneath with its mud. The sky, trees, human faces and hundreds of other in teresting and beautiful things are so high up that you will not see them at all unless you throw back your shoulders and lift up your head to its natural and hon orable place. A bent head will always make the shoulders round, tho chest hollow and the gait poor, for your pendency is always to be pitching forward. Don't do it! Hold up your head! Protection of Itirds. Governor Roosevelt, of New York, has signed tho Hallock bill for the protection of birds in that State.

Moore toll an amusing aud significant story of Cite influ ence of imagination ou health. A young civil servant iu India, feel ing fagged from the excessive heat and from lung hours of work consulted the best doctor within reach. The doctor looked him o- ver, sounded his heart and lungs, and then said gravely: I will write you to-morrow." The next day the young man re ceived a letter telling him that his left lung was gone, and his heart seriously affected, and ad vising him to lose no time iu ad justing his business affairs. "Of course, you may live for weeks," the letter said, "but you had best best not leave important matters undecided." Naturally the young official was dismayed by so dark a prognosis nothing less than a death war rant. Within twenty-four hours ho was having difficulty with his respiration and was seized with an acuto pain in the region of his heart. Ho took to his bed with tho feeling that ho should never arise from it. During tho night he became somuch worse that his servant sent for the doctor. "What on earth have you been doing to yourself?" demanded tho doctor. "There was no indica tions of this sort when I saw you yesterday." "It is my heart, I suppose," weakly answered tho patient. "Your heart!" repeated the doctor. "Your heart was all right yesterday." "My lungs, then." "What is the matter with you, man! You don't seem to have been drinking." "Your letter!" gasped the ja tient. "You said I had only a few weeks to live." "Are you crazy?" said tho doc tor. "I wrote you to take a few weeks' vacation in the hills and you would be all right." For reply the patient drew tho letter from under the bedclothes and gave it to tho doctor. "Heavens!" cried that gentle man, as he glanced at it. "This was meant for another num. My assistant misplaced the letters." The young man at once sat up in bed and made a rapid recovery. And what of tho patient for whom the direful prognosis was intended? Delighted with the re port that a sojourn iu the hills would set him right.he started at ouce, and five years later was alive and in fair health. Youth's Companion. Red Rain in Sydney. Not long since Syduey, in tho colony of New South Wales, was for a time overwhelmed with red dust, and rain fell. Of course, tho government astronomer was immediately interviewed for pub lication. "In tho early days of Rome," ho said, "this red rain was regarded as a terrible thing. It was thought that tho gods were fighting, and that tho drops consisted of the blood from the wounds they inllicted ou each other in combat. Yet this was only similar to what we had this morning. "I find that there aro only six ty-nino cases of red rain record ed. The first historic instauco oc cured fourteeu years after the foundation of Rome, in 7!J8 B. C. Until quite modern times the phenomenon was called 'bloody rain.' "Over thirty years ago a quan tity of tho dust fell in France, and portions were carefully col lected and examined by scientific men. Miscroscopic examination showed that it contained a large number of organized forrnsknown as 'diatous,' which so far, have been found nowhere but in South America. A theory was consequently then formulated that tho dust had been gathered during violent windstorms in South America, carried to the higher region of tho atmosphero and drifted across tho Atlantic to France." "Do you yourself think that to day's dust came all tho way from South America?" the astronomer was asked. "Well, I cau't give a decided opinion," ho replied, taking up a terrestrial globe, "but you see that we are right in tho track of tho prevaling westerly winds which travel round tho earth from that continent." Wasl Inuton Visited hy n Chief 1 From Alaska. ! , Washington has had a visitfrom a unique personage. This novel sightseer is a famous Alaskan chief, the head of the Taku tribe. His name is Johnson, or Yash Nohh, as he is more commonly called by the natives. The chief is the first Alaskan notable who has ever made the journey from tho Northwest coast to the capital. He brought a variety of gifts for the Presi dent in the shape of baskets worked by the native women of his tribe, and other raro orna ments and carvings executed in true Indian style. Chief Johnson's special mis sion, however, was to lay beforo the President some grievances which his people have suffered owing to tho influx of newcom ers, who have, they say, unlaw fully taken possession of tho land. Now the chief asks from the groat ruler of the pale-faced na tion increased territory in re turn. Chief Johnson has discarded his odd aud picturesque uniform and now appears in a suit of "store clothes" and military cap. His native costume, used on state and ceremonial occasions,is made up of fine bear skins and robes, over which is worn the famous Chilkat blanket, made from tho wool of the Alaskan mountain goat. Ou the blanket are woven hundreds of designs embodying mythological emblems and crests of his family and tribe. A ceremonial cane full of totem carvings is held in his hand; a high, bell-shaped hat, tapering to tho end, is worn over a pecu liar style of headdress. This consists of hair twisted into a large protruding plait, which ex tends six inches or so from the head. His tribe now numbers 300 aud occupies a strip of tho main land near Juneau, and was in former t'imes ono of the most warlike tribes. Chief Johnson is familiarly known to most Alaskan travelers from his exhibition of Taku war riors and dancers, which is held in a tent near tho landing at Ju neau. The show is maintained especially for the tourists during the summer season and is given immediately after the arrival of the excursion steamer. The chief's ancestral homo, which is ouly occupied by him and his numerous relatives dur ing the winter season, is some distance from Juneau. It is ono of the finest specimens of old time habitations in Alaska, while its three hugo and grotesquo to tem poles give it an ideal abor iginal setting, seldom seen nowa days. Sigshee's Present to Dewey. A Germautowu girl who usual ly gets things mixed was tho vic tim of a hoax one eveuing last week.

"It requires a pocular taleut to bo a good farmer, and much in tellectuality to grasp tho details and learn the methods, "says Rev. Cyrus Towusend Brady, in tho Juno Ladies' Home Journal. "I found out it was a deep subject the first time I took the plow handles from tho young boy who was guidiug them with one hand. I found that it was uot so easy as it looked, for I plowed that furrow by main strength. I forced the sharo through the earth by my Unaided efforts at least, I could uot see that the horses did anythiug particular except to keep ahead although sometimes the implement took long bounds over tho surface, so that when my row was finished it looked like a succession of dots and dashes. The farmer was dyiug with laughter ut my red fiice and blistered hands, so I felt my religous influence over him would bo goue until I learned how to do it, which I presently did."
