RULED_WITH A ROD.
Bat the Rod Hast Be Iron, With ■
Kedhot Tip. .
"When all other methods of control
ling wild beasts fail the keeper has only
to employ an Iron rod, which has been
made redhot at one end," said an old
circus man to a Star reporter recently.
"Lions and tigers," he continued, "will
cringe Before the heated poker, and no
matter how restless and fretful they
may have been the sight of the glow
ing iron Immediately brings them to
their best of animal senses. It has an
almost hypnotic influence over the
beasts. I have seldom heard of an
animal being burned in this manner,
however, so there Is nothing cruel in
the treatment It would not do for the
keeper to burn the charges under his
care, for the Bears would mar the
animal for exhibition purposes. * The
hot iron is a terror, just the same,
and under its persuasion the kings of
the jungle are docile and ready to do
what is wanted of them.
"In circus menageries the animals
often become almost unmanageable.
This Is true of the younger specimens,
who do not like the idea of being so
closely housed, so much hauled about
and so often cut off from the light of
the outside world. When it becomes
necessary to give their cages a thor
ough and sanitary cleaning, one attend
ant holds the beast in a corner by
means of the redhot Iron, while an
other thoroughly cleanses the remain
ing portion of the cage, the work being
accomplished by brooms and mops
from the outside. In changing the
wilder animals from the cages em
ployed on the road to the larger and
more commodious quarters at the win
ter station, what we call a strong box
is used. The wagon Is hauled along
side the large cage and the steel strong
box, open at both ends, is constituted a
passageway. The animal hesitates to
make the journey through such a sus
picious looking object, however, and
again the heated Iron must be brought
Into play."—Washington Star.

A young society woman tells a story
of a very little newsboy who so appre
ciated her kindness to him at a news
boys' dinner that he went to the extent
of great suffering for her sake. At
least she thinks It was appreciation,
but others have doubts. At all events,
the young woman who, with a number
of others, was engaged In serving the
boys, noticed this little boy way off at
one end of the table. Many of his lar
ger fellows were already hard at work
on the various good things, but this lit
tle fellow had evidently been neglected.
Clearly here was a case of urgent char
ity, so the amateur waitress flew to his
side, and for an hour she saw to it that
he did not lack for anything. Plate
after plate of turkey was literally
showered upon him. Finally, as she
set another piece of plum pudding in
front of him, he rolled bis eyes meekly
toward her and said in muffled-tones:

But neither the dog's fidelity, nor the

Children need to be specially watched

vive the appetite and rally the spirits. In

WANTED A RECEIPT.
¥he Old Lady Insisted t'pon Follow- j

The old lady was not used to travel
ing on the Broadway cars. She had
evidently spent her youth and middle
age in the rural regions, but doubtless
she called old Ireland home. The con
ductor, who differed little from the
rest of his kind, came through the car
calling for fares. The old woman held
out her hand. In which a nickel was .
tightly clutched, then drew it suddenly
back as If she had made some mistake.
"I want my 'resate' flrst," she said In j
a rich Doolian dialect.
The conductor paid no heed; but, j
holding out his hand, demanded, "Fare, |
please."
"But I want my 'resate,' " she repeat
ed.
"No receipts, lady," said the stolid
conductor. "I'll have to have your
fare."
"My son told me not to give tip any
money without getting a 'resat?,'" in
sisted the old woman stoutly.
The kind lady with the sweet face
and Paris clothes proffered the assur
ance that it was "all right," that no
body got receipts.
"See, I pay my fare without one,"
she said, giving the conductor a dime
and the woman a reassuring smile.
But the woman was stubborn. "I
want my 'resate,'" she reiterated.
The conductor mechanically held out
a nickel to the kind lady of the Paris
gown, but she shook her head, nodded
toward the old woman and smiled, j
The conductor without a word passed
on through the car, which lurched and
swayed through Union square. She of
the "resate" shook her head grimly,
settled herself back in her seat and
held onto the nickel, determined not to

BEAUTIES OF A GLACIER.
Scenes That Are Likened to Visions
of a. Glorified City.
The fascinations of a glacier are as
witching as they are dangerous. Apos
tolic vision of a crystal city glorified
by light "that never was on land or
sea" was not more beautiful than
these vast Ice rivers, whose onward
course Is chronicled, not by years and
centuries, but by geological ages, says
a British Columbia correspondent ot
the New York Post. With white dom
ed show cornices wreathed fantastic
as arabesque and with the glassy
walls of emerald grotto reflecting a
million sparkling Jewels, one might be
In some cavernous dream world or
among the tottering grandeur of an an
cient city. The Ice pillars and silvered
pinnacles, which scientists call seracs,
stand like the sculptured marble of
temples crumbling to ruin. Glitterins
pendants hang from the rim of bluish
chasm. Tints too brilliant for artists'
brush gleam from the turquoise of
crystal walls. Rivers that flow through
valleys of Ice and lakes, hemmed in by
hills of ice, shine with an azure depth
that Is very infinity's self.
In the morning, when all thaw has
been stopped by the night's cold, there
Is deathly silence over the glacial fields,
even the mountain cataracts fall noise
lessly from the precipice to ledge in
tenuous, wind blown threads. But with
the rising of the sun the whole glacial
world bursts to life in noisy tumult.
Surface rivulets brawl over the Ice
with a glee that Is vocal and almost
human. The gurgle of rivers flowing
through subterranean tunnels becomes
a roar, as of a rushing, angry sea, ice
i grip no longer holds back rock scree
loosened by the night's frost, and
there Is the reverberating thunder of
the falling avalanche.
Fate of Old Overcoats.

shelters him from cold winds and from

torn down the sides. Then the owner
uses the coat for rainy days only, and
no more does he take it to call on his
fiancee or to recline on the back of a

He keeps It another summer, and the

out In the fall it has holes here and

haughty man.and the Janitor wears it
awhile until his wife Rives it to the

THE DATE OF THE FLOOD.
Bible KnetM 011 Wliicli (lie lll*!iop
Itnaetl Ills question.
Some people li.nl fun over the re
ported rejection of eight candidates for
the African Methodist ministry in the
south by tin' examining bishop because
they could not tell the date of the
flood. Nevertheless the bishop who
asked the question knew what he was
doing:. It may not have been a fair
question, but there is a concise answer
to it iu the Bible, and lie no ihiubt
thought that the eight candidates, if
they were well versed in the Old Testa
ment, would answer it at once.
The date of the flood was 1,030 years
after the birth of Adam, in the second
month and the seventeenth day. It be
gan then and continued for 40 days
and nights. This is how it is figured:
The third verse of the fifth chapter of
Genesis reads thus, "And Adam lived
130 years and begat a sou in his own
li'.eness, after his image, iind called his
name Seth." Then iu the sixth verse
it is told that Seth lived 105 years and
begat Knos. Adam, says the fourth
verse, lived SOO years after the birth
of Seth, and the latter after the birth
of Enos lived .SO7 years. So it goes on.
Enos begat Cainan when he was 00;
Cainan begat Mahalaleel when he was
75; Mahalaleel begat .Tared when lie
was 65; Jared begat Enoch when lie
was 102. Methuselah was bni to
Enoch when the latter was and
when Methuselah was lie begat
Lamech, and Lamecli's son Noah came
into the world when the father was
182. This brings us down to the birth
of Noah, which, accordii g to the added
ages of the several patriarchs at the
time their sons were born, occurred
1,050 years after the birth of Adam.
In the seventh chapter of Gensis the
eleventh verse reads as follows: "Iu
the six hundredth year of Noah's life.
In the second month, the seventeenth
day of the month.the same day were all
the fountains of the great deep broken
up and all the windows of heaven
were opened." This was the fiodd.
and It came to pass in the year KiTti!
after the birth of Auain. —New York

that men know more about the quality

To Avoid n Total
A Pittsburg man tells of a visit he
made at a thrifty home in a nearby
town. The call was quite a pleasant
one and during the evening "Abey,"
the hopeful 6on of the family, was
sent to the cellar for refreshments for
the guests. He could be heard grop
ing his way through the dark, and
then came the noise of something fall
ing and the crash of glass. "Abey's"
mother was plainly uneasy, but she
assumed the unnatural composure
which her society duties demanded.
Soon "Abey" came up with an armful
of bottles.
"What was that noise we heard,
•Abey'V" asked the mother.
"Nothing much." replied "Abey."
"I knocked over n bottle of milk and
it rolled down the steps and spilled."
"Did you call the cat, 'Abey'V" asked
the thrifty woman.—Pittsburg News.
Frequent Vaccination.
Although almost absolute immunity
is secured for a period of six months
by vaccination, there is no certainty
that Its effects will continue beyond

does, but the Interval for which this

Hence those who have studied the
matter most carefully recommend a
fresh operation if more than six
months have elapsed since tlie last one.

PASSING OF THE BELL.
Ko Lonicer t'fied to Record the Joyi
mid Sorrows of Humanity.
The solelun and impressive custom of
announcing death by the tolling of the
church bell will soon be but a vague
and distant memory. "The passing
bell" lias Itself passed away, and its
slow measured accents no longer tell
the story of the departure of one more
soul. The brief notice in the daily pa
per, while it conveys explicit informa
tion, fails to give something that the
bell's tolling carried with it. The sol
emn rhythmic tones awakened a mo
mentary vibration in the breast of each
listener and bade each pause for sym
pathy and meditation. The bell ad
monished the sinner to repent and
warned the thoughtless that time was
flying while it spoke clearly and com
prehensively and bade till scattered
and preoccupied inhabitants attend its
story.
The bell's voice is identified with all
the deepest and most sacred human
emotions. It has bespoken the joys and
sorrows of all mankind for centuries.
Is its voice to die away and have no
part in the life of the future? The
wedding bells ring out no more save
in some song or story. The Christmas
chimes are seldom wafted to our ears.
The church bells ring but faintly now
anil under constant protest. "The cur
few tolls the knell of parting day" only
in verse. A sunset gun today gives
greater satisfaction. The angelus
sounds merely in pictorial form, the
fire bells give place to still alarms, the
dinner bell is silenced in polite society,
and sleigh bells are discarded.
What is the future of the bell—that
happy silver tongue that has sung out
the Joys of all tlie world, that solemn
tone that has mourned for the nation's
dead and voiced thq nation's woes and
summoned to their knees the nation's
worshipers?— Atlantic Monthly.

QUARRIES OF OLD EGYPT.
Where Stone For Pyramids of the
nesFrt Wan Procured.
On the way to I'hihe and the head of
the cataract, a short distance south of
Assouan, we come upon the ancient
quarries which supplied the granite
i for the columns, statues and obelisks
throughout Egypt for many centuries.
An obelisk which we saw lies in its
native L 'd. It is 95 feet in length, and
three sides have been carefully cut,
but for some unknown reason it was
never separated entirely from the par
ent rock. The surface bears the tool
marks of the workmen. The grooves
in it show that it was tc have been re
duced at the sides. It was supposed
that the stone was split from its bed
by drilling holes in the rock and filling
them with wooden wedges, which were
afterward saturated with water, the
swelling wood furnishing the power.
From illustrations in the temples it Is
clear that these great monuments were
floated down the river on flatboats and
j rafts and then carried inland by arti
ficial canals or dragged overland by
thousands of slaves. In one of the
1 tombs at Beni-llassan is a picture il
lustrating the process. The great stone
is loaded upon a huge sled drawn by a
multitude of workmen. One man is en
gaged in pouring water upon the run
ners to prevent friction; another stands
at the left of the statue and beats time,
that the men may work*in unison,
while overseers, provided with whips,
urge the laborers to their task. What
king desired to extricate this block
from the quarry, why it was left here,
what it was to commemorate, we can
never know. The riddle of the sphinx
Is solved, but the riddle of the obelisk
in the quarry will no doubt remain
with us forever.—Chnntannuan.

Sometimes a hungry traveler, who nat-
I urally wants big portions, thinks the
man in the kitchen is trying to economize
on him, but he may rest assured he is
getting exactly what tbe law allows —no !
more and no less.
"I remember a picture in one of the
satirical papers a few years ago of a fat
gentleman looking scornfully at several
small sections of bread and butter.
'What do you call those?' he asks. 'Pull
man sandwiches,' replies the waiter.
'Huh,' grunts the tourist, 'Mr. Pullman
must cut 'em out with a conductor's
punch!' We haven't got it down quite
as fine as that, but we come pretty near ;
it. The kitchens are stocked at regular '
intervals, and a careful calculation is
i made of the exact number of portions in
every article furnished. At the end of
the run an inspection is made, and the
cook must account for everything, either
I in supplies or meal checks. Under that
system petty pilfering is absolutely im
possible. The purchasing agents who lay j
in the stock at imporfcnt points from
which travel is heavy are exceedingly
important members of the company's
staff.
"They can easily render the dining
service over any route profitable or the
j reverse, and something more than mere
experience and intelligence is required to
make a success of the job. The men who
have done the best at it seem to be guid
ed by a sort of instinct, but as a matter
of fact they are continually studying the
conditions of travel. They learn what
the general run of their patrons like at
certain seasons of the year and compile a
curious sort of table of averages that
tlicy use as a basis in purchasing perish
able stock, such as meats, fruits and
fresh vegetables. There is a line in the j
northwest that is known among the din
ing car men as the 'beefsteak route' on
account of the extraordinary call for
that particular article of diet, and I
know of another that is nicknamed the
'oatmeal express' for similar reasons.
The oatmeal express carries a good many
ladies and children, and the beefsteak I
route is a favorite highway for drum- |
mers, so, after, all the explanation is |
simple enough. An expert stock pur- I
chaser can command a good salary, and i
not long ago a man who had been sta
tioned for some years in New York was
offered a very handsome position as su
perintendent of the refreshment service
for a big railroad in England. It had
been run at a loss ever since it was in
stalled, but within GO days after he took |
hold it began to return a profit. At the
same time it was greatly improved. Din
ing cars are a comparatively new thing
abroad, and they are far behind the
American, both in system and luxury."—
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Took inn I.uat Cent For a Drink.
The old soak, in his tattered, patched
coat, shuffled up to the bar, where he
had drained off so many drinks, and
looked wistfully at the bottles of red
liquor in a row about twr arms' length
away.
"Say, Jim, old boy," lie said to the
bartender in the most winning tones
be could muster, "you wouldn't take a
man's last cent fer a drink, would ye?"
"You bet your life 1 would!" snapped
Jim, with the viciousness of a steei
trap. Jim suspected an effort to get a
drink on tick and proposed to forestall
: it.
"Well, 1 s'pose I got to have her, so
1 set her out," and the soak heaved up a
great sigh that shook his frame with
j emotion.
Jim heaved a much lighter weight
sigh on discovering that the drink was
to be paid for. He set out the bottle of
the roughest goods he had in the house.
The unwelcome customer poured out
four lingers and drank it down with
evident relish. Wiping his mouth ou
his coat sleeve, be reached into his
pocket, and, pulling out one old, tar-
I nished cent that he had found on the
sidewalk, he slapped it on the counter.
"There you are, Jim!" he gurgled.
"What's this?" yelled Jim in loud,
strident tones.
"You said you'd take me last cent for
a drink, and there it is."
Jim reached under the bar for a base
ball bat which he always had on tap,
but before he could get it out the artful
I soak had disappeared through the
j front door.— Chicago Chronicle.
HIS HAT AND UMBRELLA.
Thl» Man Took a Quick Luncheon
Sign at It* Word.
He was undoubtedly from the coun
try. His umbrella, a big cotton affair,
would have given him away even had
he not had one trousers leg tucked into
a boot He wandered into one of the
big quick luncheon places in lower
Broadway. He was looking for some
thing to eat and was just sitting down
at a table when his eye caught a sign
which read: "Watch Your Hats! The
Management Will Not He Responsible
For Umbrellas and Hats Unless Check
ed by the Cashier."
here's this here cashier?" he ask
-Icd tli" 1 • i who came to wait on
hi!"
"Up there in the little cage by the
door," said the waitress.
The farmer stalked to the cashier's
desk and laid down his umbrella and a
big hat that was new five or six years
ago. The cashier looked up in amaze
ment.
"Keep your hat," she said. "It will
be all right."
The farmer walked back to his table,
read the sign again and thought It over.
Then he climbed on a chair and took
the sign from its hook. He carried it
up to the cashier.
"What does this mean?" he asked.
People were beginning to laugh, and
the pretty cashier got red in the face.
She took the hat and umbrella and
wrote out a receipt. It was the first
time in her life that she had been ask
ed to check a hat, and she has been a
cashier more years than one. New
York Tribune.
BRANDS OF CIGARS.
Kew One* Come and Go, Like the
Flower* of Spring.
"What becomes of all the different
brands of cigars which are placed upon
the market each year?" said a Wash
ington cigar dealer. "Well, that's a
question which is easier put than an
swered.
"I carry a large stock of cigars, and I
have on my shelves over 50 different
brands of cigars which sell wholesale for
$35 a thousand and retail for 5 cents.
1 have over 25 different brands of 10
cent cigars and a dozen or so different
brands of the higher grade cigars re
spectively.
"This is an appetizing array to the pro
fessional smoker and affords an almost
unlimited choice. The launching of a
new brand of cigars upon the market is
an expensive undertaking and one which
is attended with more or less risk. It
takes a lot of capital, because cigars,
and new brands of smoking tobacco, for
that matter, require a lot of persistent
and costly advertising. The maker must
compel his new buyers to give up some
other brand for his, and in order to ac
complish this he must offer an induce
ment to attract the smoker.
"By advertising he gets a smoker to
say, 'l'll try this new brand of the grade
I smoke.' If he likes it, he may stick to
it. If not, he wanders off to another or
back to his old favorite. Men will swear
i by a certain brand for six months and
then abandon it forever for in a
day. The dealer, if he is interested in
introducing a new brand, will coax a cus
tomer to 'try' it, but the main reliance
is in advertising and in putting up a good
grade of tobacco for the price. The
maintaining of the same grade year in
and year out, however, is another mat
ter, and 1 have seen the demand for a
popular brand fall off right away as soon
as an inferior tobacco is used A smoker
will say concerning it: 'That's no good
now. Give me another brand.'
"A happy choice of name has a great
deal to do with the success of a cigar,
and it is for this reason that makers use
1 the names of popular stage favorites,
j statesmen and others. Sometimes a new
brand will not take at all, and the makers
retire it or substitute another name.
Others catch popular fancy at once, and
enormous sales are made from the start.
Certain cigars sell well in one city and
not at all in another." —Washington Star.
What Frightened Him.
While crossing the isthmus of Pana
ma by rail some years ago the conduct
or obligingly stopped the train for Mr.
Campion to gather some beautiful
crimson flowers by the roadside. It
was midday and intensely hot. In his
"On the Frontier" Mr. Campion tells a
peculiar story of this flower picking
experience.
I refused offers of assistance and
went alone to pluck the flowers. After
gathering a handful I noticed a large
bed of plants knee high and of delicate
form and a beautiful green shade. I
walked to them, broke off a fine spray
and placed it with the flowers.
To my amazement I saw that I had
gathered a withered, shriveled, brown
ish weed. I threw it away, carefully
selected a large, bright green plant
and plucked it. Again I had In my
hand a bunch of withered leaves.
It flashed through my mind that a
sudden attack of Panama fever, which
was very prevalent and much talked
of, bad struck me delirious.
I went "off my head" from fright In
a panic I threw the flowers down and
was about to run to the train. I looked
around. Nothing seemed strange. I
felt my pulse. All right. I was in a
perspiration, but the heat would have
made a lizard perspire.
Then I noticed that the plants where
I I stood seemed shrunken and wilted.
! Carefully I put my finger on a fresh
branch. Instantly the leaves shrank
and began to change color. I had been
frightened by sensitive plants.
Too Hurried.
A "teudertoot" who was trying his
luck on a western ranch was at first
horrified by the table etiquette which
prevailed among his associates.
One day his feelings evidently came
so near the surface that a cowboy
whose performances with a table knife
»112 unusual size had aroused the ten
derfoot's amazement, paused with an
other knifeful of food half way to his
lips.
"What's the matter?" inquired the
cowboy with disconcerting promptness,
In the tone of one who means to be
answered.
"Ah—er—nothing," hastily responded
the tenderfoot.
"Look here." cried the cowboy, with
an accompanying thump of bis un
occupied hand on the table, "1 want
you to understand that I've got man
ners, but I haven't time to use 'cm —
that's all!" Youth's Companion.
"There's no time like the present,"
said the young college man as he turn
ed over to his "uncle" the watch his
grandfather had given him last birth
day.—Syracuse Herald.
The Ken?»! cavalry, which consti
tutes the bodyguard of the governor
general of India, was ra'sed as far

THE FIRST GERMAN PAPER.
Ben Franklin In 1732 Printed tke
First Settling In America.
The first newspaper printed In the
German language in America was.the
Phlladelphische Zeitung, published by
Benjamin Franklin in the year 1732.
The Pennsylvania Gazette for June
8-15, 1732, contains the following an
nouncement:
"The Gazette will come out on Mon
day next and continue to be published
on Mondays.
"And on the Saturday following will
be published Philadelphische Zeltnng,
or Newspaper in High Dutch, which
will continue to be published on Satur
days once a fortnight, ready to be de
livered at Ten a Clock, to Country Sub
scribers. Advertisements are taken in
by the Printer hereof, or by Mr. Louis
Timothee, Language Master, who trans
lates them."
In undertaking this new enterprise
Franklin expected to secure a liberal
support from the German population of
the province, for whom he had been
doing considerable printing, but in this
he was disappointed, and the publica
tion of the Zeitung was discontinued
after a few numbers had been issued.
The Zeitung was a small sheet of
four pages, by 9 inches, the text
printed in double columns with Roman
type, and at the bottom of the fourth
page bore the Imprint: "Philadelphia:
Gedruckt bey B. Francklin in der
Marck-strasse, wo diese Zeitungen vor
5 Shillings des Jahrs zu bekommen,
und Advertisements zu bestellen slnd."
The first number was issued June 10,
1732, and the second "Sonnabend den
24. Junl, 1732." The publication of the
Zeitung, therefore, antedates by seven
years the Hoch-Deutsch Pennsylva
nlsche Geschicht-Schreiber, published
by Christopher Saur.—Chicago Times-
Herald.
The Right Word.
"Why do you speak of him as a fin
ished artist?"
"Because he told me he was utterly
discouraged and was going to quit the
profession. If that doesn't show that
he's finished, I don't know what does."
—Chicago Post.
A physician says one should never do
any work before breakfast Some day
science will recognize the great truth
that working between meals Is what
is killing off the race.—Minneapolis
