‘ Words are not arrows, ‘but they fly
farther.
Man believes himself always greater
than he is, and is esteemed less than
than he is worth,
‘ Too many peopleare singing, “‘Scat-
ter sunshine,’’ and waiting for some-
body else to do it.
The man who figures on marrying
an heiress often finds he isn’t well up
in mathematics.
People seldom love those who with-
stand their prejudices, and who en-
deavor to control their passions.
Love of reading enables a man to
exchange the weary hours which come
to every one for hours of delight.
The average man never fully realizes
at midnight how very sleepy he is
going to be at 7 o’clock the next morn-
ing.
It’s pretty hard for some people to
distinguish between what they think
they know and what they know they
think.
Minds of great men may run in the
same channel, but somehow the chan-
nel seems never to become over-
crowded.

cupied minds.

the ignoble.
It is always best to avoid contro-
versy with two kinds of people; those
who cannot understand you and those
who will not.
‘When thou would’st help another,
study to please, not thyself, in the
doing, but him thou servest. So shalt
thou be unselfish indeed.
Scepticism is not an end, but a
beginning, is as the decay of old ways
of believing, the preparation afar off
for new, wider and better.
A character
love of enjoyment with the love of
duty and the ability to perform it is
the one whose unfoldings give the
greatest promise of perfection.
A VOLCANIC LAKE,
Once Full of Clear, Cold Water, but It Is
Now, Too Hot to Be Borne.
At a recent meeting of the British
Geographical society in London, Mr.
H. I. H. Cavendish described his dis-
covery of a strange volcanic lake dur-
ing his explorations in Somaliland.
The curious lake lies about thirty
miles due south from Iake Rudolf.
Its shores are very barren,entirely in-
closed by mountains, and there are
three islands,apparently quite barren,
near the east shore. It is fed by two
rivers. What water there is in this
lake is exceedingly hot, and near the
north end, where a smouldering vol-
cano is situated, it as hotas one would
like to wash one’s hands in, but there
is no soap mine near to supplyanother
luxury of travel.
1 The volcano will probably be named
Andrew, at Mr. Cavendish’s sugges-
tion, in honor of his companion.
The natives say that the lake was
once full of clear, cool water, but that
quite recently the volcano commenced
its destruction. Now the mudbanks
about it mark the receding water, and
the former lake-ped is composed of
black mud, very deep and hot, but
“with a hard crust over the surface.
One boy whom the leaders happened
to send in after a wounded Spanish
flamingo sank through this crust and
scalded his foot: so badly that the fol-
lowing day his toe-nails came off. The
former high-water marks along the
shore are strewn with a mass of fish,
bones and skeletons of fish, large and
small, evidently killed when the water
was heated. The dried-up portions of
the lake are crusted with salt,
and on the borders there are solid
mounds of salt. Thereare one or two
wells of fresh water near the lake,
and many sites of old villages which
had been deserted on account of the
fire mountain, which is still actiwe,
Patagonian Giants.

hose unusual stature gave rise to
“the fables of early days to the effect
_ that the natives of this region were
giants, averaging nine or ten feet in
height. It is a fact that they are the
tallest human beings in the world,
the men averaging but slightly Jess
than six feet, whilelindividnals of four to
six inches above that mark are not un-
common. — They are in reality by no
means savages,but somewhat civilized
barbarians. They are almost unac-
quainted with the use of firearms, not-
withstanding some contact with the
- whites, but they haveplenty of horses
and dogs. Unsurpassed hunters they

South American ostrich, and from the
skins of these and other animals they

How Thirteen Pursued Comedian Bone
iface All Through a Journey.
George C. Boniface, Jr, is one of
the few comedians who are not super-
stitfious. He does not like the number
18, however. Boniface lives at Pleas-
ure Bay, and since the trolley cars run
between that point and Asbury Park
he spends a great deal of time on them.
A few days ago, while standing on the
platform of the car, he noticed the num-
ber 13 painted on it. ‘*‘Good Lord, num-
ber 13!” exclaimed the comedian, and
hastily reaching into his vest pocket, he
pulled out a rabbit’s foot and rubbed it
vigorously on the lapel of his coat. The
conductor smiled ana sa
‘Nou're a trifle supers
you?’
“Oh, not very,” replied Boniface.
“I thought you'd like to know,” con-
tinued the conductor, carelessly, “that
you're the thirteenth fare I’ve had this

Boniface looked uneasy and made an-
other dive for the rabbit's foot. Om
reaching Asbury Park the car encoun-
tered a funeral. Half a dozen carriages
had passed when the motorman rang
bis gong and started ahead. The driver
of the seventh carriage pulled up his
borses. Boniface jumped about ex-
citedly.
“Stop the car!” he yelled.
“What for?’ asked the conductor.
“What for?” shrieked the comedian.
‘Why, we'll go right through the funer-
al, and that is the most unlucky thing
you can do.”
, But the car went on, and Boniface,
swearing loudly, jumped off before the
last of the funeral had crossed.
“Pretty big funeral,” said the con
ductor to another passenger.
“Not very,” was the reply.

A Suis Withous a Parallel.
Memphis, Tenn., lawyers have
brought suit in Weakley County for
damages for Gefamation of character,
alleged to be contained im an epitaph
cut an a tombstone. Such a cause fer
action is probably unheard of in the
annals of the courts of the country. In
December, 1886, L. B. Cate was shot
and killed by one Bill Penic. Penic
wag indicted and tried on the charge of
murder. He was defended by the same
lawyers who are now acting for him
in this civil suit. The accused was ac
quitted on the plea of self-defense.
The parents of the deceased, L. B. Cate,
thought to honor his memory by erect:
ing a suitable tombstone over his
grave, and having cut in the marble a
‘legend setting forth some of the circum-
stances of his taking off. - The follow:
ing was cut on the tombstone:
“L. B., son of J. C. and L. J. Cate
Born April 10, 1870. Married Willie
Freeman December 21, 1887. Was shot
and killed by Bill Penic December 11,
1898; caused by Penic swearing to a
lie on Cate’'s wife. Aged 26 years §
‘months and 1 day.”
It is alleged by Penic that this sions
was lettered by J. H. Hutchinson, of
Martin, and it is alleged that the stone
was exposed to public gaze in the yard
of Hutchinson for quite a while before
it was erected at the head of the grave
containing the remains of the deceased
Cate. Since the vindication of Peni¢
by the trial jury in Weakley County he
has sought reparation for the wording
of this tombstone. The complainani
seeks damages from the sculptor and
the father of the deceased in the sum
‘of $10,000.

aground by pirates and looted of its full
cargo of silks and money. The Canton
authorities immediately sent a gunboat

‘A LOOK Of Napoleons “Fraie.
* A unique souvenir of the great Napo-
leon is kept in the family of his old
nurse and attendant, being now in the
possession of Prof. Bagley, of Abilene,
Kan. He is a native of the island of
St. Helena, and his"mother was one of
the intimates of the guardians of Na-
poleon. When the Emperor lay dying
his odd nurse stole to his side and
clipped from his head a lock.of hair.
Part of the lock she gave to Mr. Bag-
ley’s mother and she gave it to her son.
It is kept in a bottle and is black and
gray, with a trace of brown. For forty
Years the bottle has been kept in a dark
room, that the hair may not be Injured
by the light. There are about forty
strands fn all. The relic is held at a
great value by the possessor. He has
also some cloth from the coffin, a medal
given by Napoleon and some other
minor souvenirs from the island of St.
Helena.
The only other portion of the body cf
Napoleon known to be on this continent
is a single hair that Richard Watson
Gilder once owned. He kept it in his
watch case. When the watch was re-
paired he forgot to tell the jeweler of
the precious contents. When he went
to get it he asked: “Did you find any-
thing in the case?”
“Yes,” replied the workman, “there
was a hair in there, but it is all right

Is a recent discovery in Java. In the
center of a huge lake of boiling mud
and slime exists a phenomenon abso-
lutely unique, and so wonderful that
tourists brave the difficulties of the
long journey inland simply to see it.
Scores of enormous bubbles are formed
in the sticky slime by the gases which
arise from the lower depths, and these
grow and increase to an enormous size,
looking like nothing so much as the
large model balloons sent up sometimes
to ascertain the direction of the wind.
These bubbles, some of them, attain a
diameter of five or six feet before they
burst, which they do with a loud explo-
sion. The sounds are described as re-
sembling a constant series of heavy
platoon firing. ~~

Cyclists in China lead an untram-

the roads are undefined, being neither
