Two Travelers.
Largely an a matter of experiment a
gentleman determined to ascertain bow
thoroughly he could familiarize him
self with a country by means of maps
j and books of description. To make
the case as difficult as possible he
| chose Madagascar, of which to that
j moment he had no knowledge except
f of a most general character. He pur
sued this Inquiry diligently and with
| Increasing relish. At the end of four
j or five years a man who had Just re
| turned from Madagascar came Into his
j office. The conversation naturally
; turned upon the Island whence this
i man had come. The traveler Anally
asked, "When were yon last In Mada
j gascar?" "I have never been there,"
; was the response. "Why," exclaimed
the other, "you know more about It
! than I do." A similar story Is told of
j Von Humboldt, who never saw Jeru
I salem, but produced a thoroughly re
i liable account of the Holy City. The
j traveler has often discovered that the
persons who apparently know least
about a place are those who have liv
| ed In it all their days ?Christian Ad

Prophetic Bells.
At 2 a. tu. on Sept 27. t.SfiO. (he
world famous clock in the great cathe
dral at Strassburg commenced to chime
without rhyme or reason It sounded
1,870 peals, then stopped, and after an
Interval slowly began to toll as If for
a great one dead. The political atmos
phere of Europe at that time was In
dlcatlve of profound peace. Nothing
of danger or disgrace could by any pos
sibility be conceived of as threatening
Strassburg or Its Inhabitants. Yet less
than a year afterward the German ar
mles had encircled the city with a ring
of steel and Are. The German shells
were falling thickly In her streets and
squares and exploding even within the
precincts of the stately cathedral It
self. And precisely at 2 a. m.. Sept
27, 1870, General Chrlcb signed the
capitulation which was to deliver
Strassburg Into the bands of the In
vaders.
The Curious Limpets.
The limpets are a curious kind of
shellfish. They resemble the abaiones
in their habits. The interior Is made
of the most brilliant colors, bronze and
Iridescent hues predominating. They
are found on the west coast of Mexico
and are so large that the people use
them for wash basins. They are fero
cious animals and prey with great vo
racity on clams. The process seems
slow, but the limpet always gets there.
He gets his cover over the unsuspect
ing clam and puts his big foot on his
shell, generally on a weak spot Then
he whips out a long, wiry tongue and
proceeds to bore a hole in his captive.
When this Is done the shell flies open,
and the limpet is free to feast on the
poor clam's carcass. He eats but a
part and leaves the rest for the fishes
of the sea.
How Canada Was Named.
According to an eminent authority,
when the Portuguese nnder Gaspar
Cortereai in 1590 flrst ascended the St
Lawrence they believed it to be the
strait of which they were in quest,
through which a passage might be dis
covered Into the Indian sea. When,
however, they arrived at the point
when they could clearly ascertain that
this was no strait but a river, they ex
claimed repeatedly in their disappoint
ment "Ca nada" ("Here nothing")
These words, remembered by the na
tlves, were repeated to the next Euro
peans who visited the land. The new
comers, hearing the phrase so frequent
ly, conjectured that it must be the
name of the country, so "Canada" It
remains.
Earthquake Gowns.
In 1750 there was a great earthquake
in England, and Horace Walpole re
cords that "several women have made
'earthquake gowns' ? that Is, warm
gowns to sit out of doors all night"
Walpole also tells that "Turner, n
great china man at the corner of the
nest street, had a Jar cracked by the
shock. He originally asked 10 guineas
for the Jar. He now asks 20, because
it is the only Jar in Europe that had
been cracked by an earthquake."

Cunning and Knavery.

It was a breessy morning, and the city

up again, as he "hated these beastly

"I can't stand this stuffy herring
box.'" chortled the crusty man, tugging
the strap and letting the window drop
for the fourth time.
"Nor I these Siberian blasts that
only convicts could stand," rejoined
the wheezer. "Don't you know It's an
old adage that 'when the wind Is In
the east 'tis neither fit for me nor
you?' "
"Ha, hal" laughed the crusty man,
appealing to the passengers to laugh
also. "Here's n man who doesn't know
that old proverb. Why, sir, the last
words are 'man nor beast' "
"Well, there's no difference In what

F m For the Elephants.
A queer elophant yarn Is told by the
captain of a trading steamboat On
one occasion he bad on board a cargo
of forty elephants. The vessel was
anchored in a perfectly smooth sea off
the coast of Zanzibar, but to the great
surprise of the passengers the steamer
began to rolL At first they supposed
the motion to be caused by the ground
swell, but when the motion kept In
creasing there was general alarm, and
the captain Instigated an Investiga
tlon. Then It was revealed that the
elephants had In some way found that
by swaying to and fro all together
a rocking motion was produced that
seemed to please them Immensely. So
the great heads and bodies rolled and
swung In unison until the steamer,
which had no other cargo and rode
lightly, was In Imminent danger of
rolling clean over. The attendants
hurried down into their hold and, after
a great deal of shouting and thumping,
managed to stop the dangerous amuse
ment
When Musicians Ware Scarce.
In these days of conservatories and
music schools, when each house has Its
piano or its organ, to say nothing of
devotees to tlie cornet, violin and ban
jo, it seems strange to assert that there
ever was a time when musicians were
in demand, yet such was really the
case. "In the fifteenth century," says
Henry M. Brooks In his "Olden Time
Music," "musicians were so scarce in
England that they were impressed by
government order, as In more recent
times seamen had to suffer In like
manner. Henry VIII. also Issued war
rants for the impressment of children
with good voices for the choirs of the
cathedrals, and In Elizabeth's time
children with the proper qualification
for her majesty's choirs were taken
from their parents without any com
pensation being given to the latter."
He Could Prove It.
"How long can a human being exist
without air?"
"For at least four hours."
"Quit your kidding. I'm asking a
plain question, and I expect a serious
answer."
"I'm giving It to you. I have proved
to my own satisfaction, and very re
cently, that a human being can live
four hours when absolutely deprived
of air."
"You're a fool. A boy can stay uu
der water for two minutes if he has
strong lungs. Even an amphibious an
lmal can"?
"Oh, cut that I've proved it I rode
from here to Buffalo In the upper berth
of a sleeping car the other night And
I was taken out alive. I can prove It!"

Trade At Home
f 1 is a hard thing to convince some people, who have acquired the
* mail order habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
miles away,
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE j
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue against mail order business
