Selections ICELAND AN OLD REPUBLIC. Plucky Fight of a Wonderful People to . ' Maintain Independence. ' Icelaud, w hich soon la to become nu Independent stnto In the united Danish empire, furnishes a remarkable exam ple of the effect that climate and con ditions have upou mankind. During a thousand years Icelund, a cold, un inviting and all but sterile Island In the north Atlantic ocean, has been an outpost of civilization, and during much of that time lis inhabitants have, led the rest of mankind In the march Of progress toward an Ideal form of government. It . was the hnven to which the oppressed in Norway, fled ten centuries ago. Its barren shores offered a livelihood only to those with energy and thrift who could wrest it from the sea or the fringe of unpro ductive acres between the coast and the snow capped mountains of the in terior. The mere struggle for exist- THE SLEEPING SICKNESS WHICH MEANS DEATH How many readers have heard of this terrible disease? It prevails' In that far-away country Africa especially .the Congo district. , It is caused by the bite of the tsetse fly. When it bites a persdn, the sleeping symptoms begin and finally the sufferer sleeps UDtil death occurs. Contrast this with the peaceful, balmy sleep of health. Is there any thing more wearing than to lie awake at night, tossing about, nervous, with cold feet, hot head and mercy knows what else? Short of letting the tsetse jjly bite us we would do almost any thing for relief. How can we pre vent it? Mr. George Hayes, of Union City, Pa., writes: "I had lost my appetite, was all run-down, could not Bleep nights. I had tried every thing without relief. Vinol was rec ommended, and to my surprise, it ttelped me at once; gave me a splendid appetite, and now I Bleep soundly." WhatVlnoldldforMr. Hayes.lt will do for every run-down, nervous and overworked person who cannot sleep.

The people of Iceland organized a republic nearly 1,000 years ago. They adopted a constitution and were gov erned by chosen representatives when most of the world was being overrun by the armies of tyrants. They had trial by Jury nearly 300 fears before the Magna Charta was granted to the people of Knglnud. They embraced Christianity more than 900 years ago and long before the European fore fathers of the most of us had ceused to pay homage to pagan gi.ds. With the dawn of Christianity they took up the art of writing and developed a wonderfully rich literature of eddas and hi gas, the undying glory of a re mnikalilu people. They cherished per sonal liberty and their freedom as a people. Their laws relating to the duties and privileges of citizens, the care of the poor and other problems of self government were centuries" In ad vance of the times, and some of them have not been Improved upon since. The little republic was engulfed in the wars fiat Involved the Northmen and after cro years of success became a dependency of Norway and later of Denmark. The people, however, nev er lost those sterling qualities that had prompted their ancestors to establish a republic on the desolate Island. Dur ing all the succeeding centuries, when life "was an unceasing struggle, the Icelanders never were quite subdued In -spirit. Denmark granted to the people of the Island home rule, and now It Is practically agreed to have Iceland become an Independent state of the kingdom of Denmark and Ice land, the two countries to have one king and one set of diplomatic repre sentatives.

The barrel is rifled and the muzzle Bhaped like the mouth of a bell and angled lu order to adapt Itself to tho Blope of a bullock's head. By unscrewing the opposite end from the muzzle the car tridge may be inserted. When the bullock has been firmly drawn up the operator places the bell cud well up on the forehead and with a sharp tap of a mallet all Is over, the beast gen erally falling down without a strug gle. If the bullet has been properly placed Its path should be along the spinal cord, completely severing it If the Instrument has not been well placed death Is a little longerln en suing, but In any case there Is no pain to the animal.

OLD VILLAGE LOCKUP. Guaint Structures For Confinement of - Rogues and Vagabonds Several villages in the midlands pos sess lu more or less ruined state their old parish lockups, commonly known as roundhouses. Breedon, . a Leicestershire village, close to the South Derbyshire border, possesses Its "lockup," a quaint stone building eighteen feet high and eight feet six Inches diameter Inside. The walls -are fifteen Inches thick. The door is of. stout oak, studded with many large iron nails. The lock Is very strong, and the key hole Is covered with an Iron plate, which Itself has to be unlocked by a spanner before the door key can be Inserted.' Ventilation Is afforded by small holes punched In an Iron plate, six Inches by seven, fixed In the cen ter of the door. There Is no window. At Wortulugton, the next village to Breetlon, the old lockup Is a seven sided brick building, badly In need of restoration, an opportunity for archae ologists which it U hoped will not be missed. Both at Breedmi and Worth ing! on these diminutive disused pris ons lire on the roadside adjacent to the pound, or pinfold, so that the constable had conveniently side by side the strayed cattle and any human rogues or vagabonds he hod charge of. There arc similar old lockups at Sinisby and Tlcknnll, two villages close to Leices tershire. Sheflleld (England) Tei graph. BLUSH IF YOU CAN. It Is a Sign of an Active Brain, De clares a Scientist. Sir Arthur Mitchell, K. C. B., of Ed inburgh, who knows much - that is strange about dreams, laughter and other commonplace humuu character istics, has advanced the consoling the ory that blushing Is an achievement of which every onewho can blush should be proud. He says It requires brains to blush. Idiots cannot blush; neither can ani mals. Sir Arthur calls attention to the fact that tiny infants do not blush, although they learn to nt an early age just ns soon, In fact, as the brain be gins to exercise its functions. In blushing, he says, the mind always must be affected. It is nlways and only a bodily expression of a mental Btate. It Is a natural thing for a blusher to sny that he had tried not to blush. No Individual blushes of his own free will. " The blush arises without call In stantaneously and vanishes almost as 1 quickly. Neither for Its coming nor Its going Is there any exercise of voli tion. It is controlled. Sir Arthur says, solely by the brain and is a positive : sign that there Is an active brain there. I -New York World. Boissier's High Priced Autograph. A good Bolssier-Renan anecdote Is told by a French paper. One day Bols- sler arrived nt Renan's home with a j beaming face, saying: "Now I'll tell you a piece of news thot will humiliate you. My autograph has fetched a high er price than yours." "That does not surprise me," Renon snld serenely. "And where did you hear this?" It then I tumpd out that at an auction a day or two before a Renan autograph had been , sold for 3 francs and a Bolssler for 5. "Well," Renan went on, "now let me tell you the reason. There were three , faults in the spelling of your letter, which Is now lying here on my writing ' table. A friend of mine was at the , auction and made a higher bid for the ' letter after noticing the artificial ( gems that adorned your prose. He , brought it to me In order that I might return it to you instead of reaching the public, which might get a bad Impres sion of the accomplishments of mem bers of the French academy." Got Near It. A primary teacher was presenting to her cluss selections from the story of Hiawatha preparatory to taking up the "Hiawatha Primer." The story was prefaced by a few remarks In regard to the poet and bis love for children. In reviewing tbe lesson she asked: "How tunny remember tbe name of the poet who wrote this story?" Up went many bands. "Yon may tell us, Sarah," added the teacher, noticing the little one wildly waving her band in her Intense eager ness to respond. "Mr. Longlegs," said the child, with evident pride. Llpplncott's. A Quaint Critic A noted woman teacher once spoke before a class of school children on literature. She bad spent a week writ ing tbe speech. She read It to tho lit tle ones, as she hoped, with great suc cess, but the next day she heard that a boy on being asked by his mother what had happened at the school re plied carelessly: - " "Oh, nothing much, except that a lady talked to herself on a piece of paper." . - - Just the Contrary. Bessie was Just finishing her break fast as papa stooped to kiss her before going downtown. The little one grave ly took up her napkin and wiped her cheek.

Encore after encore fol low and the scenes are a series of enthusiastic demonstrations. There has been some curiosity as to Creatore's nationality. When a Scotch night is given he 1s a typical Scotch man without the kilts. On Irish nights all he needs Is a sprig of shamrock and on. Hungarian nights a plate of goulash Is the only thing lacking. Creatore was botn In Italy, but he hn the universal soul for music. He itrlnhs It In with great gulps, and It is Riud that when he sleeps at night ho U dreaming of (lights through the air with Wagner's Valkyries or else tread Ins. the light fantastic with the Merry Willow. He figuratively pul's music out of the Exposition building by the yard. 'It enfolds and entangles him. Ho Is all bound round with a muslo string and when he sneezes he always Jrs several bars of music from his cooiposi'tlon. It there Is such a thing as the transmigration of souls then Creatore's ardent wish would he to bnt'ome a violin of the finest make, constantly played upon by some mas ter musician. His soul In the delicate fabric of the violin would wall and sob and go straight to the soul of his listeners. Creatore Is a creature of strange moods. Off the rostmm he la quiet, modest and retiring. At. tho concerts he Is seen to prance and dance and shake himself and wave his great mop of hair and reach out with that peculiar motion as If he were dragging the music out of his men. Creatore's band Is composed of skilled musicians and to the baton of their cyclonic leader they play the works of the greatest masters In a finished and artistic manner. Next wee'e will be the last of the Exposition FeaBon and Damrosch and his great New York Symphony Or chestra Is to be the closing musical attraction. Damrosch Is the first to reach the masses with classical music and he hps an Immense following throughout (ho country. With the magnificent concerts of Damrosch, th9 great military spectacle of the Spanish-American war, "A Diy in Japan," the armor plate display, the model coal fleet and the various ex hibits of Industry and science the sea eon of the Exposition will pass Into history In blane of glory.
