AN UNKNOWN ROOM.
Scaled tip for Tear In New Torlc'a
Court Home,
A room tbe existence of which wai
known to few, If any, present ou.ee
holders, was discovered Inst week In
the County Court House. It Is tbi
outhetist corner, under the office of
the Surrogate's clerks. It was tightly
fastened, and, It Is snld, has not been
pened for twelve to fifteen years. No
ne In the building bad any control
ver the room or Its contents, but on In
tulry It was found that the room had
been taken years ago for the deposit of
records of the Comptroller's office. The
Inquiry was pursued until a key to th
room was found filed away In the of
fice of the Comptroller nnd tbe room
Was opened.
The dead air Inside nearly knocked
iver the curious men who looked In,
ind the door was qulrkly shut up
IgalD. The hasty glance taken of tbe
Interior showed that It contained a lot
f books and bundles of vouchers and
such papers. It was the unwholesome
odor that hung about the Surrogate's
offlco, whore nine clerks are employed
In a small room, that led to the search
which resulted In the discovery of tin
icalcd npartracnt. It Is thought that
lome of the waste pipes hnvo sprung f
teak In tbo room.
It Is understood that this secret room
Is the only part of the building re
talned for the Comptroller after an
effort on his part several years ago to
ecure quarters In the County Court
bouse. The tltlllculty, as explained t
Ihe writer by Justice Van Hrunt somi
Ume ago, arose through Comptrollei
Andrew II. Green Insisting that he had
Ihe right to take possession of quarter!
In the County Court House under au
thority of the Commissioner of Public
Works, In whose charge are tho mu
nicipal buildings. Tho Comptrollei
' was partly Installed before the Justice!
f the Supreme Court got Into action.
He wanted the lower floor on the west
llde of the building, chiefly the part
aow used ss -docket clerks' rooms.
"We told hlin," snld tho Justice, "thnt
the State had subscribed something
like $200,000 for the building, nnd that
the State would have something to saj
as to how the building was used. Mr.
Green was told that he would b
brought before us for contempt If h
did not vacate, anu he vacated."
The room now appears to show thnt
the Judges were contemned Just a lit

Tbe Art of Complimenting.
Compliments are the poetical touchei
which redeem the monotony of prosaic
existence. In the lutercourse of sym
pathetic people thoy have a natural
place, and It Is as plensnnt to recog
nise by word or look the charms of out
friends as It Is to profit by them. Profit
we do, undoubtedly, as all that niakei
life fairer makes It better, and a whole
some discernment of good traits mux!
add to our faith In human nature ami
Its capabilities. Rigid moralists do-
dare that compliments are so akin to
I flattery that It Is wrong to use prnlo
In any way. This Is "most Intolerable,
and not to be endured," for nil need
both to give and receive encourage
ment In this practical and hurrying
world. And, reprehensible as hard na
tures find It, there is a charm In open
ing our eyes to the attractions of others
and a warm, healthy glow accom
panies the utterance of words which
attest our admiration.

Calendars.
The earliest caleudars, as the Jewish,
the Egyptian and tbe Ureek, did not
begin the year where we do now, and
the Jewish year, which opened on the
25th of March, continued to have a
legal position in many Christian coun
tries until a comparatively recent
period. In England, it was not until
1752 that the iirst of January became
the initial day of the legal, as it bad
long been of the popular, year. Several
other countries made this chango
earlier than England France in 15(14,
Scotland in 1000, Holland and llnssia
in 1700.
The Roman calendar, which made
January the first month of the year,
is credited to the second king of Home,
Niinm Poiupilius, more thun six hun
dred years B. O. He added two
mouths to the ten into which the year
bad been previously divided, and
called the first one Jauuai ius,in honor
of Janus, tho diuty supposed to preside
over doors.
Our Haxon ancestors originally
called this the Wolf-month (Wolf

than usnnlly ravenous and daring in
that season of the year. Detroit Free

Anlmnl Allies In War,
The armor worn by war elephants
during the time of the old Mogul
empire was often magnificent, being a
mass of stool, iron and silver. To the
long white tusks, which were covered
with chains, were lashed sharp swords
or sabers, forming an ornament well
calculated to demoralize an opposing
force. The Bultun Alamoud equipped
bis elephants with bastions which
were filled with men armed with cross
bows and spears, not pitch. To the
tusks of the animals poisoned daggers
were attached. ibis sultan had a
band of rhinoceroses in his army
which were supposed to be used in
demoralizing a foe, though the danger
of their playing huvoo with their own
forces was equally great.
The cheetah was formerly employed
in the East as an adjunct of war, bands
of them being released and trained to
bound along and tear down the enemy
as they are now known to kill the
fleetest antelope.
The French and English in their
campaigns in Africa and Asia have

small guns being mounted on their
backs. One company was served with
catling guns of light caliber. The
Arabs have long employed the camel
in war, a corps of those . ani
mals mounted with native sharp
shooters with their long gnns and the
gay colors of their robes presenting
an attractive appearance.
Even the ostrich has been suggested
as a war animal. It was found that
they can earry their riders and de
velop marvelous speed, but they are
very unoertain ana quite as liable to
turn and retreat at the wrong time as
to advance, so that the ostrich corps
exists in theory more than in practice.
The valne of the horse and mule in
all army operations can hardly be esti
mated. Mules have been mounted
with small cannon or rapid firing guns
in an emergency, but the eooentrio
character of the animal renders the

ditch about -100 feet wide and half a
mile long. Prisoners often attempted
to escape by lowering themselves into
it, and in several instances were
drowned. One day a live shark was
placed in the moat by a naturalist for
experimental purposes, and while it
was perfectly harmless, the shark
effectually put a stop to the attempts
at escape, nnd was known as the

"Mamma," said little Maud as she
came home from Hundny school one
day, "we are going to have a concert,
and I am going to speak, twiee too,"
she nddod excitedly; "they want me
to speak an opeuiu' a'dress and a good
night piece too when the rest all get
through, and oh mamma ' will yon
make my new dress, and will you
help me learn the pieces, and will
you and apa go, and oh mamma after
the concert they are going to have ice
cream and I want two dishes, I cau
have two can't I mamma? and "
"And for goodness sake stop and
take breath," said mamma, "or I shall
certainly think my little girl is wound
up like some machine and be expect
ing the time to run out any moment.
I will certainly help yon learn your
pieces, and will make your new dress,
if there is t line, but I think one dish
of cream will be sufficient for a little
girl of seven years, but we will see
when the time comes. When is the
concert to be?"
"A week from Tuesday, or two
weeks, I don't remember which,"
answered Maud; "they talked about
both and I've forgot which they 'greed
about, but anyway they want me to
speak."
To speak was something quite new
for Maud. Mamma had always re
fused to let her take part in the enter
tainments given, as she was not a
strong child and she did not like to
tax her with learning a piece, and
also thought the excitement of spenk
iug before so many people would be
too much fur one of her nervous tem
perament, if she did not altogether
break down and forget hor piece when
the time came to speak, as it took
only a trifle to confuse her. Hut for
some time now Maud's health had
been exceptionally good, and as she
seemed so eager to take part in the
coming fete, mamma thought it would
do no harm to let her try, and see if
she found reciting as enjoyable a pro
ceeding as she anticipated.
The night of the concert came, but
not before Maud was entirely ready
for it. Hhe bad fairly counted the
days and hours till the eventful even
ing arrived, and at half past six had
her hat on and inquired of papa if he
did not think it nearly time to start,
as it was quite a distanoe to the
church. Papa smiled, for it was just
two blocks, and he did not think it
would require quite an hour and a half
to walk that distance, so told Maud
she had better take off her hat and
wait awhilo, and in tbe meantime she
might recite her pieces over once
more for him if she wished, so as to
be very sure she had not forgotten
them.
Ho she recited them over for him
without a break, and a very sweet,
dainty little girl she looked, in her
new dress of white dotted mull and
pink ribbons.
Perhaps Maud thought most too
much of her dross. Pol imps the many
faces confused her, perhaps a good
many things but one thing is certain,
when tho concert at lust begun, and
the organ voluntary had been played
and Maud's name - was culled for the
address of welcome, she inarched
proudly forth ou the platform and
began to speak her welcome address?
oh, no, but the "Good Night" with
which the concert was to close.
"Pear friends, we bid you all a fond good
nUcht
And hope thnt we may sometime meet
again
when something in the smiles on the
faces before her recalled her to her
self, and she realized in an instant
whut she hud done. Hhe gave one
frightened look around, then burst
iuto tears and rushod from the plat
form, down the aisle, and straight into
papa's arms. "Oh, papa, do take me
home quick," she gasped as she hid
her head on his shoulder.
"Don't ory little one, it's all right,"
said papa, "don't you want to wait and
have some cream?"
"Oh, no, papa, please," she an
swered, "my throat chokes so I don't
believe I can ever swallow again.
Only let's go home."
So papa took the trembling little
girl home, aud . it was some time be
fore the sensitive child could even be
induced to go out of the house, so
sure was she that everyone would
laugh at her failure, and even if they
were not present at the concert she
was quite sure they heard about it
that same night, bnt she has some
what gotten over it now, and her Hun
day school teacher hopes by next
Christmas to be able to induce her to
take another piece to learn, though
she says she will only give her one
next time so there will be no danger
of getting mixed. Northern Christian

Star Routes.
One of the United Htates postofllce
inspectors assigned to duty on western
star routes tells an interesting story
explaining why postal routes supplied
by couriers ou horseback or by stage
came to be designated "star routes."
Years ago three words found place
on the records of the poBtonice. They
were "certainty," "celerity" and
"security!" In subjects pertaining
to the transmission of the mails uo
words were repeated so often. Up to
1845 no contract for carrying the mail
wus let unless the bidder made known
the manner in which he proposed to
carry it. There was an understand
ing that bidders who run stnges should
have the iuside track, but Congress
kuocked out this practice by enacting
a law by which contracts were to be let
to the lowest bidder without taking
into consideration the manner in which
the mail was to be cariied from one
place to another, stipulating only that
it must be handled with certainty,
celerity and seourity.
After that the postofllce clerks classi
fied bids as certainty, celerity and
seourity routes. The use of this four
word designation became so common
that the clerks cast about for some
appellation easier to write, and they
hit ou the plan of substituting three
stars ( ), and from that incident
tbe pony and stagecoach lines became
known as star routes.
The first reference to star routes
was made in 1859 when in an adver
tisement these routes were explained
as being certainty, celerity and se
curity routos." Chicago Record.
