If you wish to make h Somali woman
absolutely happy, yon give her a look
ing glass. She will never before have
seen one, but feminine instinct will
teach her how to use it. Mrs. Alan
Gardner, on < ne of her big game shoot
ing expeditions in Somaliland, gave a
native woman a looking glass for a
Christmas present. She was so delight
ed with the first clear sight of her dnsky
countenance that she sat through two
entire days and nights outside Airs.
Gardner's tent gazing with rapture at
her own reflection.
On the morning of the third day the
fame of the looking glass had spread
through the country, ami a row of 40
Somali women, collected from far and
near, was engaged in taking an admir
ing turn at the magic mirror. When
Airs. Gardner came on the scene, she
was greeted by 40 feminine Somali
voices joined in chorus and each beg
ging for a looking glass “all to her
self.’’ But, alas, for the limitations of
a sporting outfit, the dusky belles were
obliged to content themselves with the
one communal mirror. And the woman
with the looking glass remained for
many weeks the most important person
in Somaliland. —London Illustrated

Why lie Liked Him.
The barber was perhaps a trifle more
talkative than usual, and the customer
was scarcely in a good humor. The
portly gentleman had come straight
from the dentist’s. In blissful ignorance
of this little fact the knight of the ra
zor opened fire. He discussed the
weather, foreign politics, the rival bar
ber opposite, and was just explaining
his views on the education question
when the customer suddenly growled:
“Where’s that assistant of yours, the
one with the red hair?’’
“He’s left me, sir. We parted last
week—on friendly terms, you know,
and all that, but”—
“Pity!” growled the portly gentle
man. “I liked that young fellow. There
was something about his conversation I
thoroughly enjoyed. He was one of the
most sensilfje talkers I ever met, and”—
“You’ll excuse me, sir, but there
must be some mistake,” gasped the as
tonished barber. “If you remember,
poor Jim was deaf and dumb.”
“Just so. Just so,” was the curt re
joinder. “That’s why I liked him.”
And the barber went on shaving.—

Rewarded For Ills Honesty.
An English farm laborer recently
went to a small store kept by an old
woman and asked for “a pahnd o’ ba
con. ’ ’
She produced the bacon and cut a
piece off, but could not find the pound
weight.
“Oh, never mind t’ pahnd weight,”
said he. ‘ ‘Ma fist just weighs a pahnd.
So put ther bacon i’t’ scales.”
The woman confidently placed the
bacon into one side of the scales while
the man put his fist into the other side,
and, of course, took good care to have
good weight.
While the woman was wrapping the
bacon up the pound weight was found,
and, on seeing it, the man said:
“Nah, you see if my fist don’t just
weigh a pahnd. ”
The pound weight was accordingly
put into one scale and the man’s fist
into the other, this time only just to
balance.
The old woman, on seeing this, said:
“Wha, I niver seed aught so near
afore I Here’s a red herrin for thee hon
esty, ma lad!”-—New York Tribune.
Had to Get I p.
Some years ago Dr. Oscar Blumen
thal. the director of the Lessing theater
in Berlin, had an unpleasant experience
of the vigilance with which the author
ities carry out their duties.
In bis comedy, the “Orient Reise, ”
one of the characters was afflicted with
a mother-in-law of the most objection
able kind. This lady died and, accord
ing to the belief of her relatives, went
to heaven. The prospect of a fresh ac
quaintance with his dreaded mother-in
law so terrified her son-in-law that he
announced that, if this should be his
fate, “when the resurrection comes I
shan't get up.”
This Was sufficient for the authori
ties. Twenty-four hours after the pro
duction of the piece an ominous blue
envelope arrived at the Lessing theater
containing a peremptory order from the
president of police that the lines in
question should be immediately sup
pressed, “as being calculated to wound
the religious feelings of the lieges.”—

which our readerswill pardon us for re

Hebron, Feb. 15, 1784.—This day departed
this life Mrs. Lydia Peters, the wife of Colonel
John Peters and second daughter of Joseph
Phelps, Esq. She was married at the ago of 15
and lived wth her consort three times 15 years
and had 15 living children, 13 now alive and
the y oungest 15years old. She hath had three
times 15 grandchildren. She was sick 15 months
and died on the 15th day of the month, aged
four times 15 years.

TONS AND TONS OF GOLD.
Twelve Hundred 5111 cm of EnormtW**
ly Rich Territory.
if a pin be placed at Denver on the
map, and another at Stockton, Cal.,
and a string bo drawn from one to the
other, an air line will be marked pass
ing through the heart of a wonderful
gold territory. Slightly to the north of
Denver in Central City, and southwest
of that city is Cripple Creek. About 30
miles to the north of the string Lead
ville will be found. In the southwest
corner of Colorado will appear Tellu
ride, Rico and other points where gold
is mined. Marysvale, in Utah, almost
due south of Salt Lake City, will ap
pear to the south of the string. Fifty
miles to the north of it, near the line
between Utah and Nevada, will appear
Osceola. Deep Creek lies north of Osce
ola and on the southern edge of the
great desert west of Salt lake. Detroit
and several other rich gold camps are
almost due cast of Osceola. Pioche lies
100 miles south of the string, and the
wonderfully rich gold territory of the
Monkey Wrench district lies southwest
of Pioche.
Now, north and south of the string
will appear dotted on the map of Neva
da the gold camps of Grant, Freiburg,
Reveille, Kawich Valley, San Antonio,
Gold Peak, Hot Springs, Belleville,
Candelara and numerous others. Al
most under the string, in Oaliforna, we
find Bodie, and to the north of it Alar
kleville and other points—all on the
eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada
mountains. On the western slope of the
great sierras the string will be almost
on the Utica mine, which is located be
tween San Andreas and Sonora. North
and south of the Utica mine are hun
dreds of rich gold mines in profitable
operation.
The distance from Denver to Stock
ton is about 1,200 miles. On no portion
of the habitable globe is there a region
so continuously and enormously rich in
gold as the territory described, and yet,
notwithstanding this fact, the progress
ive Yankee has scarcely made a start in
opening and developing these riches,
which have been entombed for millions
of years, and which will remain so
sepulchered until we awaken to an ap
preciation of the fact that the states of
Colorado, Utah, Nevada and California
bear within their bosoms more wealth
than ever was dreamed of by Croesus.—

DECAPITATION.
Life Said to Remain Long After the
Head Im Severed.
"The executions in Paris during re
cent years have revived the old question
whether death instantaneously follows
upon the severance of the head from
the body,” says the Alassachusetts Med
ical Journal. “Dr. Cinel asserts that
decapitation does not immediately affect
the brain. He says that the blood which
flows after decapitation comes from the
large vessels of the neck, and there is
hardly any call upon the circulation of
the cranium. The brain remains intact,
nourishing itself with the blood retained
by the pressure of the air.
“When the blood remaining in the
bead at the moment of separation is ex
hausted, there commences a state, not
of death, but of inertia, which lasts up
to the moment when the organ, no
longer fed, ceases to exist. Dr. Cinel
estimates that the brain finds nourish
ment in the residuary blood for about
an hour after decapitation. The period
of inertia would last for about two
hours, he thinks, and absolute death
would not ensue till after the space of
three hours altogether.
“If, he adds, a bodiless head indicates
by no movement ths horrors of its situ
ation, it is because it is physically im
possible that it should do so, all the
nerves—which serve for the transmis
sion of orders from the brain to the trunk
being severed; but there remains the
nerves of hearing, of smell and sight,
and he concludes that the guillotine does
not cause instant death. If this be true,
could any other form of death be more
merciless?”

Alumininin as Paper.
Experiments with aluminium as a
substitute for paper are now under way
in France. It is well known that the
paper used today in the manufacture of
books is not durable.
It is now possible to roll aluminium
into sheets four-thousandths of an inch
in thickness, in which form it weighs
less than paper. By the adoption of
suitable machinery these sheets can be
made even thinner still and can be used
for book and writing paper. The metal
will not oxidize, is practically fire and
water proof, and is indestructible by
\’>e jaws of worms.
Bamboo grows very thriftily in Cali
fornia bottom lauds, and is found to be
a very useful plant. The seed of many
species resembles rice, and is almost as
valuable for feed. The stock may be
used in the building of bridges, fences
and barns and in the manufacture of
water pipes, furniture end boxes.

IIEB NAM EAT! HETOP
“U. S. S. BROOKLYN” WENT ABOVE
“H. M. S. SPHINX.’*
A Heroic Feat ut Mu«rat by Some
of I ncle Sam's old Time Jack Tara
That Thrilled IhrHcarta of a Whole
Ship** Crew.
There was once another Brooklyn,
the forerunner of the present armored
cruiser, but the old Brooklyn, which,
during the civil war, gained the name
of the "Bnfriur Sli: p, ” bad no resem
blance to the floating fortress that
hurled destruction into the fleet of Ad
miral Cervera
The old ship bore a great spread of
canvas and had but auxiliary steam
power. Her lofty ncists and creaking
yards would stem singularly out of
place today, but they erved their pur
pose in their own time. Her open deck,
with double row of muzzle loading,
smoothbore guns, looked like a scene
from a niediteval liiama, and when she
went to sea the t!appii:g of the sails
and the snap of t' c cordage were not an
unwelcome lullaby to those who slept
beneath her cool white decks.
This old Brooklyn sailed one day
from New York, bound upon a roving
cruise and came in time to the Azores
islands, whence she sailed for Lisbon
ami Gibraltar and, passing through the
Mediterranean and the Suez canal,
steamed slowly down the scorching Red
sea. A stop at Aden for a day or two
made her ready for a journey to the
Persian gulf, but when the gulf of
Ormaz was reached the skipper thought
to take a lock at Muscat, and so the
course was shaped for the capital of the
son of Abraham, whose forefathers for
hundreds, nay, thousands, of years, had
been sheiks of the desert.
In all her journey the good ship had
entered not a port where the proud
cross of St. George could not be seen
from the staff of a British man-of-war,
but here at Aluscat it was thought that
at least our flag would be the only token
of western civilization in evidence. But
it was not so, for, as the Brooklyn
rounded a high promontory that shut
in the little harbor, there, lying at an
chor, was seen the English gunboat
Sphinx with her milk white flag float
ing above her.
Aluscat had much that was strange
and weird to interest the Americans,
but neither the palace of the sultan,
with its double wall, between the two
parts of which are kept the tigers
whose duty it is to guard the palace at
night, nor tho imperial harem's grim
exterior, nor the gorgeous apparel of the
sultan himself had half the attraction
for the westerners that the grim, sheer
face of the promontory that shuts in the
harbor had; for there upon the bleak
wall of this towering height were
painted the names of many ships, and
high above them all, in a place that
seemed inaccessible, were the words,
"H. M. S. Sphinx.”
The men of the Brooklyn stared at
that nameday after day, until it seemed
burned into their brains, and the spirit
of emulation grew within them.
The night before the Brooklyn was
to sail for Persian waters there were
evidences of a secret movement among
the crew, and after the night had fallen
still and black a boat pulled off from
the vessel’s side, and with muffled oars
made rapidly for the shore. It carried
many things of various sorts, and among
them a lantern, whose tiny glimmer
those on the ships watched with bated
breath as it reached the shore and slow
ly began the ascent of the promontory.
Now it would disappear and then glit
ter again like a star of hope and com
fort, and so it went slowly on, ever up
and up the face of the outlined precipice.
The hours dragged slowly by, and it
was far into the night when a tired
boat’s crew clambered slowly over the
Brooklyn's side and dropped exhausted
into their hammocks for a short sleep
before the call of “all hands” in the
morning.
The Brooklyn sailed away just as the
sun began to show above the eastern
horizon, and as she swung upon her
course and stood for the waters of the
open gulf a cheer burst from the throats
of the whole ship’s company. For there,
in great letters of white that caught the
warmth of tho rising sun, far above the
name of her majesty’s ship Sphinx, far
above the highest name of all, could be
seen the legend “U. 8. 8. Brooklyn.”
And there today, looking down upon
the tiger guarded palace and the harem
of the sultan, ever before the Arabs and
the Beloochistanese of the tiny sultan
ate, still gleams the magic name that
Schley and Cook once again made fa
mous and that shall endure in history
when Muscat itself shall be forgotten

How a Frog Hibernates.
According to Simon Henry Sage, the
frog does not hibernate in leaves or the
trunks of trees, but in a dry hole in the
ground not likely to freeze. He scratches
the hole with his hind feet and enters
backward. Once inside, there is appar
ently no trace of the fact outside. Frogs
found under frozen leaves are still able
to move about. Mr. Sage has found
hibernating frogs with their extremities
and skin frozen, but their vital organs
were still intact, and they recovered
their activity on being liberated.—Lon
