The great mystery about Indo-China and one which must ever be Insoluble Is the story of the lost race and the vanished clvilization of that strange country. The mighty walls of Angkor- Wat, rising In the midst of sparsely settled jungles, remain as the memo- rial of a great empire which has ut- terly disappeared and is altogether lost to history. No one will ever know who planned this gigantic temple or what tyrant hounded on his myriads of people to build up those immense blocks of stone and cover them with the most elaborate of sculptures. Ang- kor-Wat was one of the most aston- ishing monuments In the world, and this forgotten temple was built so as to endure as long as the earth itself were It not for the Irresistibly de- structive effect of plant life on the strongest walls that man can raise. Only a highly civilized and very wealthy people could have erected Angkor-Wat, a very dlfferent race from the Anamite of modern days. The whole nation has disappeared as utter- ly as the busy myriads who once pop- ulated the wastes and solitudes of Memphis.—Singapore Free Press, He Got the Trout. A story dealing with a large trout that was rising regularly and frequent- 1y is told in “How to Fish:' A Treatise on Trout.and Trout Fishers.” This is the story: ) “He was going up and down, up and down, up and down; not as the insects offered themselves, but as it suited his composure that he should take a midge from the abundance. One youth was casting at the trout; another was look- ing on, Said the angler, ‘I'll have that fish whether he takes it or not* ‘How? his friend asked. ‘I'll throw the fly into his mouth’ The trout went on rising; the angler ‘went on casting. I perceived the angler's no- tlon. It was that if he kept casting accurately and the trout continued to rise in the regular manner mentioned, the fly would ere long fall at the very moment when a midge was being taken. This reckonlng was justified. The large trout was hooked and land- ed by a fly that had been cast into his mouth.” Old Fashioned Oratory. “We don’t have no sich forenslc ora- tory as we used to have,” said the old settler. “Lawyers nowadays don’t orate. They only just talk. “Take old Bill K. Simmons of Eau Clair. If Bill was defendin’ a lowly chicken thief he'd speak with the tongue of angels, I'll never forgit the peroration of his {mpassioned philipple in the Clay Bull case about the polson- It runs lke this here.” The little, thin old man rose, reared back In a deflant attitude and shouted In the cracked treble of age: ‘“ ‘Restin’ upon the couch of repub- lican liberty as I do, covered with the blanket of constitutional panoply as I am and protected by the aegls of Amerlcan equality as I feel myself to be, I despise the buzzin’ of the profes- slonal inseck who has just sot down and defy his attempt to penetrate with puny sting the Interstices of me im- pervious coverin’.! "—New York Press, The Log Driver. The life of a river log driver Is a life that seems to get hold of one after a year or two. You are generally wet through for twelve hours out of the twenty-four. Ten of you sleep In a 12 by 15 foot shanty; you live on fried everything, “black strap,” treacle and stewed tea. You go to bed at 10 and get up at 8. You are ever- lastingly cursed and never pralsed by the foreman. Your life is in danger more or less all day long, and you never get more than $35 a month for “Then why stick at it?” you say, and all I can answer s, “Just give it a fair trial for a year, and then you'll know.”— Wide World Magazine. Superlatives. Dr. Johnson says In his “Grammar of the English Tongue,” “The comparison of adjectives s very uncertain and, belng much regulated by commodious- ness of utterance, Is not easily re- duced to rules.” Then he quotes passages from “Para- dise Lost” in which the words “virtu- ousest” and “powerfullest” are found and a passage from “Samson Agon- istes” which contains the word “fa- mousest.” Surely Milton had an ear.—Notes and Querdes, Tough Fare.

A beggar once asked alms of Ofliver Goldsmith as he walked with a friend up Fleet street, and he gave her a shil- ling. His companion, knowing some- thing of the woman, censured the writ- er for his excess of humanity, saying that the shilling was misapplied, as she would spend it for liguor. “If it makes her happy in any way, my end is answered,” replied Goldsmith, Another proof that the doctor’'s gen- erosity was not always regulated by discretion was at a time when, after much delay, a day was fixed to pay the £40 due his tailor. Goldsmith pro- cured the money, but a friend calling upon him and relating a piteous tale of his goods being seized for rent, the thoughtless but benevolent author gave him all the money. The tailor called and was told that If he had come a lit- tle sooner he could have had the money, but that He had just parted with every shilling of it to a friend in distress, adding, “I would have been an unfeeling monster not to have re- lleved trouble when in my power.” Heart Protectors. Many persons are ‘)uzzled to know why policemen wear their badges so low on their coats Instead of on the flap made for that purpose. As a mat- ter of fact the badge or star, as he calls it, of many a policeman is right next to his heart. Some of the blue- coats can thank thelr “stars” for being alive. This little metal shield has de- | flected the bullet of burglar or high- wayman, and at times, too, has stopped the knife thrust of would be assassins. During the last twenty or thirty years there are many cases on record show- ng tbat the little badge has been a life saver. Even bullets fired at close range, as a rule, cannot penetrate the shileld. That’s why a bluecoat always feels safer in keeping the star at a vital spot. When off duty some policemen wear their stars on their vests, but al- ways directly over the heart. They are 80 accustomed to the little' protector that they feel uneasy without it.— Philadelphia Record. Scott’s Wise Dog. Bo veraclous a man as Sir Walter Scott had a wise dog, a bull terrier. Said the novelist once: “I taught him to understand a great many words, in- asmuch that I am positive that the communication betwixt the canine spe- cles and ourselves might be greatly enlarged. Camp once bit the baker, who was bringing bread to the fam- lly. I beat him and explained the enormity of his offense, after which, to the last moments of his life, he never heard the least allusion to the story in whatever tone of voice it was men- tioned without getting up and retir- Jng to the darkest corner of the room, ‘with great appearance of distress. Then if you said ‘the baker was well paid’ or ‘the baker was not hurt, after all Camp came forth from his hiding place, capered and barked and re- Jolced.” The Wealthy Angler’s Tackle Outfit. The wealthy angler who wants the best of everything has a speclal six foot oblong case or trunk for his fishing rods, which, being the best, cost about $30 each. He has a heavy surf casting rod, a lighter bay casting rod and a”set of fly rods for fresh wa- ter fishing. His reels, of which he must have varlous types, cost $75 each and upward. For his fishing tackle there is a special trunk, In which are the best Irish linen lines, hooks and files of all descriptions, sinkers, swiv- els, squids, spoons, spinners, floats, ar- tificial bait, etc. Such fishermen gener- ally carry duplicate tackle and several duplicates of pole tips and such things as may be most Hkely to break. The total cost of a wealthy angler's tackle outfit ranges from $250 to $1,000.—New York Tribune. ind Water. Water will extinguish a fire ‘because the water' forms a coating over the fuel, which keeps it from the air, and the conversion of water into steam draws off the heat from the burning fuel. A little water makes a fire flercer, while a large quantity of water puts it out. The explanation is that water is composed of oxygen and hy- drogen. When, therefore, the fire can decompose the water into its simple elements 1t serves as fuel to the flame. A Hard Drinking Bout. Among the songs of Robert Burns 18 one upon a whistle used by a Dane who visited England in the retinue of Anne of Denmark. This whistle was placed on the table at the beginning of a drinking bout, which was won by ‘whoever was last able to blow it. The Dane conquered all comers, says the story, until Str Robert Lawrie of Max- ‘welton, “after three days and three oights’ hard contest, left the Scan- dinavian under the table.” Clever Girl.

This morn- Ing I sent for a barber to come up ang shave me. He came, but when he saw to what an altitude he had attain- ed he looked uneasy. “‘Would it inconvenience you to come down to the regular barber shop? he asked. “I answered that it would not par- ticularly put me out, but that I would like to know the reason for his re- quest. 3 ““T'he fact 18, he sald, ‘I never like to shave anybody at this' distance above the ground. No barber likes to. We seem to be particularly sensi- tive to height. It makes us nervous. Most barbers will not undertake a Job above a certain number of feet in the air. Of course if you insist T will shave you here, but you would prob- ably get a better shave ten floors. be- low this one.’ “Well, just out of natural cussedness I refused to humor the fellow’s whim. As a consequence he nearly cut my throat. Whether he did it through nervousness, as he clalmed, or pure cussedness of his own I don't know. ‘Whatever it was, that s a peculiarity of barbers that I'd like to have ex- plained.”—New York Sun. Disappolnted. An aged colered man who had busi- ness in the News office ambled into the editorlal rooms—yes, ambled is the word. He sat for several moments gazing at the pneumatic tube stations set up llke horns of an orchestrion-at the desks of the city and telegraph editors. There was a buzzing sound as a copy boy pulled a lever, and the old man smiled as If expecting something pleasant, then took on a look of dis- appointment. A few minutes later the boy sent another plece of copy whirl- Ing upstairs, and again the visitor’s ex- pression passed from anticipation to disappointment, then bewilderment. Finally he accosted the telegraph -ed- itor. “’Scuse me, sub, but mout I ax yo' what dem things 1s?” Certainly hé might and was enlight- ened. “Well, 1 ’clah t goodness!” he ex- claimed. “I thought dey was some sort o’ music box t’ entertain yo' gem- mens whilst yo' worked!”—Baltimore News. A Plain Hit. An elderly gentleman on his way to a quiet watering place in Scotland met in the railway carriage an old worthy who turned out to be a native of the place and, wishing to have a talk and at the same time learn something of the coast village, accosted him thus: Elderly Gentleman—I suppose the air is very bracing where you live? Village Worthy—Graun’ an’ healthy, T should think sae. E. G.—Then it's considered one of the healthiest quarters around here? V. W.—I should think sae. There's no muckle seekness there. G—I should think not. Have you never been sick? V. W.—Neever! H. G.—How d0 you account for that? V. W.—Weel, ye see, it's like this: The doctor's kept me &' my life, an’ he jist lets me alone.—Illustrated Bits. How He Got a Drink. An Indiana traveling man told a story the other day of an incident on the road. He was in the smoking car of an express traln reading his paper when a man rushed in from the car behind the smoker, evidently In great agitation and saild: “Has anybody in this car any whisky? A woman in the car behind has fainted!” Instantly dozens of flasks were produced. The man who had asked for it picked out the largest one, drew the cork and put the bottle to his lips. With a long, sat- || isfled sigh, he handed the flask back and remarked, “That did me a lot of good, and I needed It, for it always makes me feel queer to see & woman faint away!"Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Bat. Nearly all bats have the faculty of hibernating. Their hibernation, how- ever, is not perfect—that is to say, that when the warm days occur in the mid- dle of winter they wake up, together with the insects which are their food. Still theirs is a true hibernation trance, differing from sleep, with very low rate of pulse, heart action and"respiration. Probably they would endure immer- sfon in water for an hour or two without drowning, as other hibernators have been found to do. : Just the Other Way. “I am delighted,” sald the old friend who had called, ‘““to find that you agree with your husband in everything, Mrs. Henpeck.” “Indeed!” answered that estimable lady. “If you will take the pains to in- vestigate our domestic relations, sir, you will find that it s Mr. Henpeck who agrees with me In everything.” His Size. “Sam, what would you do if you had dent on the blood for nourishment and strength, ft is necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs, impurities and poisons. - As long as it remains uncontaminated we are for- tified against disease and health is assured ; but any humor or impurity acts injuriously on the system and affects the general health, or ial blood disease.

Fond of Crab, A Jolly old boy from the Midlands entered. Into one of the hotels at the seaside and, seelng on the slab on the right a crab dressed on the shell with sald to the landlord: “What d’ye call that?” “Crab,” was the answer. “Looks good. I'll'have un, and gie us a pint of ale.” Bread and butter was added and the diner left to'his dinner. In about an hour the genial landlord entered the dining saloon to see if his guest was getting on all right. He found him chawing up the last claw, the chawer red’in the face, but beaming. “Like the crab, sir?” ) “Yes. He was capital. I never tast- ed one afore, but I 'think you baked un a little too long.
