THE CONSULTATION.
What Her 8 i iter Heard Whan She
Listened to the Dootora.
Ono of two sisters who lived togeth
er was suddenly taken with a lung nt
.tack sho feared was serious, says the
Loudon Telegraph. She therefore seut
ifor a specialist and asked her doctor
to meet him. Talking over bis coming
'With her sinter, she snld: "Mona. t
wish I could know Sir llonry B.'s real
opinion. Neither he nor Ilr. M. will
tell us If there Is anything really
wrong, but I would much rather
know."
Iler sister replied: "Do not worry,
dearest. You shall know everything,
for I will go down to the dining room
and fttnnd behind the big oak screen
and listen to every word they say."
"And will you be sure to tell me,
iMona?"
. "You may rely on me, dearest I will
tell you every word."
"Even If I am not to get well?"
"Even then, dearest," promised the
loyal Mona.
The' hour for the consultation arriv
ed, and the sister went to the dining
room and, standing "behind the great
oak screen, eusconced herself and pre
pared to listen.
By and by the two doctors were
beard descending the stairs, and a mo
ment Inter they came Into the room.
Walking over to the fireplace, the spe
cialist sank into nn easy chair and the
local doctor sank Into another. Then
followed a moment's silence, broken by
the specialist, who leaned a little for
ward. "My dear M.," he said slowly as. he
looked across at his colleague, "of all
the ugly women that's the very ugliest
woman I've ever seen In my life."
"Is she?" replied the local doctor.
"You wait until you've seen her sis
ter." MAMMOTH MINERS.
' The Experts Who Prospect and Dit
For Prehistoric Creature.
Mammoth miners are experts whe
know where to prospect for mam
moths and how to dig them out, even
as the mining engineer knows where
to prospect for sliver and how to ex
tract it.
In the west, lu Alaska and In Sibe
ria mammoth miners are always at
work. They are always unearthing
creatures that died 100,000 years ago.
Siberia was the mammoth's true
home. Siberia 100,000 years ago was
one luxuriant forest Ilere thfi fur
covered beasts, with their ten foot
trunks and their fifteen foot 'stature,
swarmed. Then an earthquake re
moved a barrier range between Si
beria and the Arctic ocean, and those
low lying forests were Inundated. All
their animal and vegetable life was
killed.
The first of the drowned Siberian
mammoths was found lu 1799 by an
Eskimo villager on the banks oT the
Lena. It was Imbedded In a vast cake
of Ice. The villagers melted the Ice,
they feasted on the 100,000-year-old
flesh, and then they sold the tusks.
Only the bones remained when ZIo
tover of the Petersburg Imperial mu
seum reached that outlandish village
after a Journey of '7,500 miles. . He
' took the bones back to the museum,
where you may see them mounted to
day. Ho bought the tusks from the
Ivory traders and fixed them on the
skeleton, and the book he wrote about
his find Is still a text book among the
mammoth miners of our day.
Safeguarding Crime.
It Is Inexplicable how those pessi
mistic carpers who are accustomed to
hit all the minor chords with the loud
pedal on can fail to see all about them
the unmistakable Rlgns of progress and
the reddening dawn of a new day In
tbo, social yeast. And especially is this
true in matters pertaining to crime.
There Is no doubt that the general
standards of crime have been Immeas
urably raised of late. Nowadays a
man can do almost anything and got
awny with It, provided he can arouse
the sympathy of the special lady wrlt-
lrs,nnd pay the experts. Ah, brothers,
bo can say that all this docs not
ake for the general uplift? now
can we hope to realize the , better
things of life until crime has been
made perfectly safe? Life. ,.
Sea Air.
At a meeting of the French Thera
peutical society M. Laumonler showed
that the therapeutic effect of sea air
on the coast Is quite different from
that of the open sea I. e., twenty or
thirty miles out On the coast the ef
fect tends toward excitement and con
gestion and, moreover, is irregular In
its action. Out at sea it Is tonic and
regulating, and in addition the patient
gets quiet, a regular life and a contin
uous bath of pure air. These advan
tages are not bo patent on board great
liners on account of the vibration and
the smell from the engines, but on a
ailing ship they are evident
Chinese Idea of Government.
Here Is a Chinese idea of prosperity
In a nation: When the sword Is rusty,
the plow bright, the prisons empty, the
granaries full, the steps of the temple
worn down and those of the law courts
grass grown, when doctors go afoot,
the bakers on horseback and the men
of letters drive in their own carriages,
then the empire is well governed.

HUMBLED THE PRINCESS.
Fall of a Dusky Beauty From the
South Sea Islands.
One night John Sharp Williams.
Willie a stUidunt nt Heidelberg, Ger
many, was In attendance upon a swell,
function at which (he guest of honor
was a dark skinned princess alleged
to- hnl from one of the south Bea Is
lands. This princess was" magnificent
ly bedecked and bejoweled, and her
warm olive complexion, set off by a
mass of black, kluky hair, full red
Hps, snow whltn teeth and blnek,
sparkling eyes, made her the center
of the function. The mnscullne-like
Germans swarmed about her like bees
around a boueysuckle vine, and even
Dutch femininity could not discount
(he charm of her manner or the beauty
of her person,
John Sharp was Introduced, of
course, and Immediately upon obtain
ing a near view of the princess (?) bis
southern Instincts rose to the surface
and his southern blood began to boll.
Watching his opportunity, he managed
to get to the beauty's elbow. Then, re
ducing his voice to a low, but perfect
ly audible key, ho sent Into her star
tied ears this alarming query: i
"Look hero, nigger, where did yon
come from?"
Taulc stricken and with all her self
possession scattered, the alleged prin
cess turned upon her Interrogator as
she heard the familiar intonation of
the southerner and looked Into bis un
relenting face. Then she stammered:
"Fum South Carollny. boss, but for
de Lnwd's sake don't tell It"
Whether John Sharp respected the
pitiful plea of a southern negress in it
faraway land and permitted her to
continue her bold Imposition upon the
credulous Germans the story does not
tell. But the fact remains that the
"princess" realized thnt she as in the
presence of one who. from Intimate
knowledge of her race, had divined
her African origin, and she could only
throw herself on his mercy. Blloxl

THE BASTILLE.
Men and Methoda In tha Famous Old
French Priaon.
The Bastille as a prison was appar
ently better kept and cleaner than
either Blcetre or the Chatelet, and Im
prisonment within its walls did not. It
would seem, dishonor the prisoner or
hli fatully. A grent many prisoners
were charged as mad, and under this
elastic term the violent maniac, the
ambitious madman, the young spend
thrift, the megalomaniac, the readier
for the1 philosopher's stone or the se
cret of perpetual motion all these
tiresome persons might be and were
Included.
How, then, did these prisoners live?
In the underground cells or dungeons,
fis In the cells In the towers, the prison
ers were on bread and water, ns a rule.
In the other rooms In the main build
ing throe meals were served a day, with
drinkable wine "vln potable." In cer
tain s cases, according to the quality
and distinction of the prisoner, he
might supplement the meager furni
ture of his prison and get a provision
of books. Very favored persons were
allowed their own servant if he would
consent voluntarily to undergo con
finement Voltaire began to write the
"nenrlade" as prisoner In the Bastille;
Abbe Morcllet of the Encyclopedia
speaks of the grent fortress as the
cradle of his fame, but we must re
member thnt it was perhaps not ad
visable to say much about the Bastille
when, you were still living within Its
walls and that, as M. Mouin has re
minded us, "the old Spartans offered
sacrifices to fear." Prisoners, more
over, had to sign on their release nn
elaborate declaration by which they
swore never to divulge,-directly or In
directly, anything they might have
learned as prisoners concerning the
Bastille. Mrs. Frederic Harrison In

A Feat For Blondin.
, "Speaking of the straight and nar

minds me of a story about a man I
knew In Chicago who stayed very late
'at a dinner at the club. When he
came out he started to walk In tho
middle of the street (
" 'noy, John,' said a friend who met
him ns he was making the best of his
way along the car tracks, 'why don't
you walk on the sidewalks?"
"'Walk on the sidewalks?' snorted
John. 'Do you think I'm Blondin?'"

The first morning the new hand went

into the hay field. They put on a load
and hauled It to the barn. By the time
It was unloaded it was 0 o'clock.
"Well," said the new hand from town,
"what will we do now?" "What will
we do now?" roared the farmer. "Why,
we'll go after another load of hay!"

LAST OF THE PASCAGOULAS.
An Indian Legend From the Shores of
tha Gulf cf Mexico.
An Indian l?;;cml of the Pascagoulas
Is told by tLe fishermen and oyster
men down on the shores of the gulf
of Mexico. '
A point reaches out Into the gulf
near tho mouth of the Pascagoula riv
er. The pine trees on it come almost
to the water's edge, and .between lies
a strip of white sand; across a marsh,
a border of light green swaying and
rustling grasses and beyond n gray
cypress swamp the hanging moss of
the trees swaying In the wind. To the
south the blue waters of the gulf
Btreteb away, with little waves lap
ping on the chalk white clam shells
of the shore.
There In the evening during the
short twilight one bears soft music, as
if It were the notes of a violin. Insist
ent, changing, sweet It Is the song of
the Pascagoulas.
Long years before the Pascagoula
Indians had lived upon this point The
white men, the Spaniards, came In
numbers, nnd with them the hostile
warriors of other tribes, to make war
and to drive tho Pnscagoulas out of the
country. Coining from the Inland, the
enemy took away all chance of fight
and hedged them In on the point The
Pnscagoulas fought for days and
nights In the dark pine woods against
outnumbering foes. Then they saw
thnt nil was useless, that they could
not overcome, nnd starvation stared
them In the face.
The Pascagoulus called a council of
the tribe and talked long together. To
give themselves up meant lives of
slavery or death, and to fight to the
last man was to leave the women and
children to the mercy of the white
men and their allies.
The next morning the Pascagoulas
put PlJl their paint and trappings
and barbed their wigwams. The men,
women and children slowly, deliber
ately, unflinchingly backed step by
step Into the water behind them, sing
ing. Not one faltered. They died with
their faces toward their enemies,
brave and free, and now in the even
ing when the wind blows over the
marshes the pines and grasses sing
the song of the Pascagoulas. New

A HUMAN MACHINE.
He Was Able to Correot a Language
He Did Not Understand.
When Max MuUer was preparing bis
edition of the Itigveda be bad, so the
story goes, an Illustration of the in
stinctive wisdom of the compositor.
In providing the manuscript for about
G.COO sheets of print the author nat
urally tripped from time to time.
,'liencver he did trip, there on his
uof was the error queried in a care
itil hand. Surely, he thought, Bonie
unknown scholar In the university
must be overlooking bis proofs with
kindly Interest and making the correc
tions for hi in. Inquiry showed that
this was not tho fact The corrections
were the corrections of the man who
set up the type. "Did tills man, then,
know Sanskrit?" Muller asked. Not n
bit of It Use nnd wont enabled him
to detect the errors as a hungry child
scents n cooking dinner. The discov
ery originated through his arm rather
than from any Intellectual doubt and
that arm was palsied!
This printer bad sustained an acci
dent, lenvlng him with nn arm partly
paralyzed, and as this made him slow
er with his setting his masters turned
hi in on to Sanskrit, with which be had
had no previous acquaintance, ne had
to learn upward of 300 types for the
work, but he learned them nnd accus
tomed himself to the work. Now.
many of the letters In Sanskrit cannot
follow ench other or. If they do, must
bo modified. In writing Muller some
times forgot these modifications, but
they were nil marked on the proof.
Muller was bo Interested that bo sought
out tho printer to ask him how he
was ablo to correct a language which
he did not understand. The explana
tion was remarkable: "Yon see, sir,
my arm gets Into a regular swing
from one compartment of types to
another, nnd there nre movements that
never occur. So If I suddenly have to
take up types which entail a new
movement I feel It and put a query."

STARCHED CLOTHES.
The Fashion Waa Started In England
by Queen Elizabeth.
The practice of starching linen Is
at least 4UD years old. it Is said
to Niove originated under Queen
Elizabeth. Its Inventor was a Dutch
woman, the wife of a Mr. Oullheetn,
who wns driver at the royal court
Mrs. Cullheem understood so well bow
to Improve a small deficiency In the
bust of ber royal mistress by means of
stiffened collars, frills and laces that
Elizabeth overwhelmed ber with fa
vors and privileges and finally elevated
ber to the rank of chief lnspectress of
the court linen. ;
The fashion Introduced by the queen
was of course soon followed by all
the women of rank. The fad for this
new "art"' finally degenerated Into a
veritable mania for starching, Ironing,
plaiting, etc. Later special "profess
ors" of the art of starching estab
lished themselves In London, among
whom a Flemish woman of the name
of Dinghen van der Plnsse seems to
have occupied the highest rank. Those
privileged to be Initiated by ber In the
art had to pay no less than 5 for a
lesson.
Later they began to add blue color to
the starch. Queen Elizabeth, who was
very anxious about her questionable
beauty, found thnt the addition of blue
gave a green hue to ber complexion.
She therefore prohibited hef subjects
wearing any other than pure white
starched linen, claiming that blue
washed linen was Injurious to health.
But fashion proved superior even to
"good Queen Bess." They continued
merrily to use blue starch, though one
woman after the other had to go to
prison for transgressing the "blue
law." Boston Post
