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.

"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. "

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!

IMAGINATION AM) DISLASK.
Tu a "Journalists Note-Book',
Frank F. 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

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.

the victim, as she scanned the

How A

Plow.
"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."
