Extraordinary Forecasts That Have Been F¥ititled. From the London Mail. Just previous to the assassination of the Empress of Austria .the-emperor was heard r2peatedly to remark;““I fear something awful is about to transpire. I wish the jubilee year were saf¥iy over.” This brings to mind other instances of forecasts ful- filled. BoD Just over thirty years ago a visitor to Edinburgh was being shown over the high ccurt of judiciary. He*made som remark concerning the dock @nd its duties, and in reply the official jokjyigly said the visitor might one day be sentenced to be hanged in that very room. sightseer was the notorious Dr, Pritchadd; two ysars hed barely passed when in the dock he had so closely inspected he was doomed to death for poisoning his wife and mother-in-law. To many watchers of the political weath- ercock the rapid rise of Mr. Asquith to re- nown as a stat2sman was little short of miraculous; to the late ‘home secretary him- self, however, it was but a natural out- come of his own resolve. When a youth at the City of London Sehool he informed all and sundry thet he meant to take high honors at Oxford, enter tha house of com- mons, and become ag. influential member of the cabinet. The Earl of Rosebery, so tt is historically recorded, while passing his boyish years at Eton, foretold that ift the coming years he would win the derby and, more important st{ll, be prime minister. Both Lord Rose- bery and Mr. Asquith prophesied the things whereof they knew. A gentle-nan conceived the idea that he would only live a cartain time, so he made a nice calculation of his fortune, which he so arportioned as to tast just the same per- iod as he guessed his lite would extend to. Strangely enough his calculations came cerrect to the lett2r, for he died punctually at the time he had previously reckoned; he had so far exhausted his estate that, after his debts had been discharged, a solitary pair of slippers represented the entire prop- erty he left. His relatives buried him, and a represen- tation of the slippers was carved on the tomb; today in a churchyard at Amsterdam his grave may be seen, the only inscription on th> stone being. two Flemish words, “Effen nyt” (Le., Exactly”). The late Mr. George Moore came to Lon- don from Cumberland a poor, friendless boy. He entered a great commercial house, and from the beginning d-clared he would eventually marry his employer’s daughter and become his employer's partner. He ac- complished hoth amlrtions, became very wealthy and a.man-of Whom his generation might well be proud. When Warren Hastings was a lad his great grief was that his family had lost their paternal estate at Daylesford, and he was constantly heard to say, “I will buy it back.” He grew up to make both history and a famous name, and he died at Dayles- ford. Among the many records of Harrow School is that of a boy, th> son of a poor lecal tradesman in a very small way of business. His school fellows often taunted him about his family poverty; their thoughtless jeers, although hurting his feelings, drew from the lad the retort, “I Intend, before I die, t0 ride in a coach and our.”" The years sped by, and Jo and behold! the poverty-stricken youngster of Harrow had developed into Dr. Patt, the greatest schol- ar of his time, whose customary and favor- ite m2ans of locomotion was a coach and four. The seventh child:of the German emperor and empress is a daugMter, their other six children being sons. The house of Hohen- zollern has a tradition that in one year three emperors of thgghouse will reign in Germany, the third will have seven sons and will bring ruin toi#hd nation, as well as the empire to an end’), ‘This direful proph2¢y.,has seen the ful- fitment of its first part;j;vhether the arrival of a seventh son wilbdbting the calamities predicted the future Wit show. —_——_> MASTICATION LOST ART. A Common Disease: sf the Gums Due to Bit From the Indianapolis Néte?

Aside from this, they are sound and healthy. After a certain development tn the disease, nothirfg can be done to help them. By lack of exercis>, the blood, which should nourish both the bones’ and the gums, is net carried to the part; nor does the blood carry sufficient material-to the teeth, hence amel formed is defective, and early decay results. Frequently, too, the me- chanical development of the jaw is ar- rested by this same want of motion. Among the earlier:'races defects of the jaw and teeth were almost unknown. In examining the skulls of thousands of In- dians, early Britons end Chinese, not a single irregularity of the jaw 1s found, and the teeth that are present are sound and well-formed. The food which they lived on, such as roots, herbs, corn and un- cooked meats, required a good deal of chew- ing in order to prepare it for the changes to follow, and as a result the muscles of the jaw were dense and hard, the bones well developed and ¢2mpact, the teeth large, regular and firm. Most of the food among the better class of people today is cooked. so as to require very little mastica- tion, and tie consequence Is that the mus- cies: have become flabby, the Jaws slender and the processes forthe attachment of the muscles almost, objjterated. 5 +e. A JOKE ON FITZHUGH LEE. How a Circus Clown Get the Better of Him. From the New Orleans Pleayune. A few days ago, whem the.2d Texas Regi- ment of Volunteers was about to leave Jacksonville the wives of the officers were congregated at the Wiidsor Hotel. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee had, been quite indisposed, and was also force@ to seek the comforts of a dwelling. The day the Texas soldiers departed the general. strolled into the breakfast room and bade farewell to the fair Texas ladies.. Hearing they were to start soon for Dallas, he related the ex- periences he eneountered on his first visit there. 5 It was during the spring, away back near the ‘60s. The troop wad been: having a hard time chasing Indians, and was resting up, about 100 miles sgvay.. At this time ten troopers were mpisging.. with their horses, and Lieut. Lee placed in charge of a detail and ordered (i capture the de- serters. At once the-Wetty started, follow- ing the trail, across tyeiprairie, toward the eastward and Dallas. ,d§oy hours the riding was hard, and at night; the little band was still in the open, and no'slgn had been seen of the fugitives—only the hoofprints where the horses had passefadurs before. ‘The party was allowed to restsjust long enough to renew life in: the horggs, when they re- sumed the journey. 4 y It was night when tRe)*reached the little frontier town, bat thir efforts were re- warded. The ‘ten desériems-were all found in one of those canteens for which the west Was then famous. 08; <9 They were promptlyy!tumed over to the town marshal and lockei@ in jail. It so happened that a strolling-cireus had stopped in Dallas that night, and Lieut. Lee was one among those who‘erowded the board seats in the big tent. -'Phe indispensable clown was naturally the center of attrac- tion, and years -afterward this performer became one of the best-known men in the circus ring. A number of local jokes were, of course, included in his evening’s enter- tainment, and Lieut. Lee was made fun of to the delight of the entire gathering. Later the young officer was pre- sented to the performer, and behind the canvas separation between the big amphi- theater and the di room the two men, so differently situated, became quite friend- ly._ They strolled ‘back to the hotel—such as it was in those days—and bet they were sworn During the Today it there the party would wait for the officer, he having agreed to drive out with the clown. The circus was also moving west at daylight, andthe men expected to ove’ take their respective traveling companions. Morning cane, and about 9 o'clock the officer and clown breakfastei. A little later the clown announced the arrival of his ear- riage. ‘Lieut. Lee had noticed with surprise the number of men and women who had } congregated on the street, but he never suspected the cause for such a congrega- tion. The clown had excused himself some time before, and called from the vehicle to the officer that arrangements were complete. The lieutenant strolled out of the rough building which enjoyed the name of hotel and was speechless with amusement to see his circus friend, fully equipped for the ring, seated on the high seat of a curious red and blue vehicle which was drawn by half a dozen ponies. Then Lieut. Lee real- ized that he had been caught in a trap, and would have to submit to this practical joke. He climbed up to the high seat and perched by the side of the painted clown, who immediately began a comic song and did everything in his power to attract at- tention. The town turned out to see the sight, and that departure was a memorable one. The clown was not satisfied, but drove the officer across the miles of rolling prai- rie to where the sunburned troopers had halted. Here Lieut. Lee was practically turned over to his men with fitting pomp and ceremony. The roads divided, the clown faded away in the blue line of the horizon, and the young officer galloped beyond the reach of eye to the cavalry camp. This was Gea. Lee's first visit to Dallas, Texas, and he has never since that day, years ago, ventured into the streets of that little city. ——_____+e+______ PORTO RICAN MUSIC. The National Instrument is a Queer One, but Popular. From the Kansas City Star. Like all other Spanish-speaking peoples, the Porto Ricans are fond of music. Every cafe has its orchestra, for a cafe could hardly do business without on». y main street during the latter part of the Gay has its little itinerant band of guitar and violin players and the warm nights are made pleasant to the strollers along the streets by the sound of stringed in- strun:snts which floats from behind the latticed, vine-clad screen of private resi- dences. Nearly all of the airs are pitched in a minor key which, even when intended to be joyous, contains a plaint to the Anglo- Saxon fond of Sousa’s ic. To on2 who has traveled in Spanish lands the music of Porto Rico at first seems very familiar, but the ear is not long in dis- ccevering something novel in the accom- paniment to the melody. It sounds at first like the rhythmical shuf- fle of feet upon a sanded floor, aid one might suppose som: expert clog dancer was nimbly stepping to the music made by the violins and guitars. Th motion is almost too quick, too complicated, for this, however, and it is the deftness of fingers and not of feet which produces it. It comes from the only musical instru- ment native tc the West Indies, the “gui- ra,” which word is pronounced “huir-r-r-a” with a soft roll and twist to the tongue only possible to the rative. The “guira” is a gourd varying in size in different instru- ments. On the inverse curve of the gourd are cut holes lik» these in the back of a violin. On the other sid? of the gourd op- posite the holes is a series of deep seratech>s. The player balances the gourd in his left hand, holding it lightly that none of the resonance may be lost. With the right hand he rapidly rubs this reughened -side of the gourd with a two- tined steel fork. In the hands* of a novic> this produces nothing but a harsh, dis- agreeabl> noise. In the hands of a native “guira” player a wonderful rhytimfe scund ccmes from this dried vegetable shell, a sound which, in {ts place in the orchestra, becomes music, and most certainly gives splerdid time and considerabl> yolume to the performance. The player's hand moves with lightning rapidity. The steel fork at times makes long sweeps the whole length of the gourd and then again vibrates with incredible swiftness over but an inch or two of its surface. There seems to be a perfect meth- od in its playing, though no musical record is before the player and it seems. to be a matter m>rely of his fancy and his ear as to how his part shall harmonize with the meledy of the stringed instruments. The guira is found in all the West Indies, but seems specially popular in Porto Rico. The players generally make their own in- struments and apparently become attached to them, for as poor as these strolling play- ers are they will hardly part with their guiras, even when offered ten times their real value. tinctly a Porto Rican curio as it may Porto Rico is probably more dastitute of tcurists’ “loot” than any known to tne traveling American. tourist who can secure a guira may con- gratulate himself, for it will be hard to get and is the very thing which can be carried away from the island as a sonveaxt which is distinctly native and peculiar. Ses a OE FOUND BUSHELS OF and, PEARLS. The Precious Gems That Were Buried in Prehistoric Earthworks. From the Boston Transcript. Immense quantities of prehistoric pearls have heen discovered during the last few years fn the arcient mounds erected by a forgotten raze in the Mississippi valley, es- pecially at certain points in Ohio, and the evidence thus obtained proves that some of the chiefs whose people formerly inhabited that region did actually possess treasures in this form which far exceeded in value those owned by the richest crowned heads teday. In fact, there are no collections of rearls in existence at the present time that weuld compare at all with those gathered by the aboriginal ecr1oisseurs referred to. In some of the mourds pearls have been found, not by hundreds or thousands, but by bushels—large numbers of them ap- proaching or even exceeding In size a hazel nut. How such enormous stores of them were peerere is a problem not easily solved. he pearls were certainly obtained from a species of musse! called the “unio,” which fs still found in great abundance in many of the streams of this country; but in those days the shellfish in question must have been far more plentiful than now. No more beautiful pearls exist in nature than those yielded by the unio, and the collections de- scribed must have been magnificent indeed in the period of their glory. Unfortunately all of them have been ruined by decay due to long burial, though an occasional speci- men reveals something of its pristine beau- ty when its outer layers are peeled off. In the famous Effigy mound, near Chill!- ecthe, Ohio, was found more than a gailon o2 pearls. with two skeletons. All ha@ been Grilled with hole:, made with a heated cop- per wire. This drilling was undoubtedly for the purpose of attaching them to clothing o- belts, as illustrated by the fact that 400 or 509 had been sev.ed originally upon a skirt worn by cne of the skeletons. In other places in the same region more than forty bears’ teeth with pearls set in them were discovered. From a mound in the Lit- tle Miami valley Prof. F. W. Putnam ob- tained over 60,000 pecris, nearly two bush- els, drilled and undrilled. Two other de- pesits yielded upward of 100,000 pearis. Plenty of evidence as to the possession of great stores of pearls by the early abo- rgines of this country fs afforded by the writings of the first explorers of the new world. The attention of Columbus and otber Spanich discoverers was attracted to the matter, and a story having a bearing on the same subject is told of the followers of De Soto, who came upon an Indian town near what is now Tampa bay. At one end of the town was a temple, on the top of which was perched a wooden fowl with gilded eyes. In these eyes were pearls of huge size. When the Indian queen, whose name was Ucita,welcomed the strangers,she drew from over her head a long string of pearls and threw {ft around the neck of the leader of the expedition. The Spantards re- turned this courtesy by robbing the tombs in the neighborhood, obtaining from them about 350 pounds of pearls. Wants Quickly Filled.

An incident illustrating Colonel Roose- velt’s devotion to the men of his regi- ment was told by Trooper Burkholder of the Rough Riders. Burkholaer was all through the active campaign with the Rough Riders and returned with them to Camp Wikoff., He was away on furlough on account of a slight attack of swamp fever when the Rough Riders were mus- tered out, and thus sed, as he puts it, “an opportunity to say good-bye to the most gallant commander and the truest man that a soldier was ever privileged to fight undet “Only us few men who were with him,” said Burkholder, “know how considerate he was of us at all {imes. There was one case in particular that illustrates this bet- ter than any I can recall. It happened after the fight at La Quasimas. The men were tired vith the hard march and the fighting, and hunger was gnawing at every stcmach. Besides, we had our first men killed there, and, taking it all in all, we were in an ugly humor. The usual shout- img, cracking of jokes and snatches of song were missing, and everybody appear- ed to be in the dumps. I suppose we were all thinking of poor Ham Fish and the rest of the poor fellows who had been dropped in the short scrap. “Well; things hadn't improved a bit, in fact, were getting worse along toward meal time, when the colonel began to move about among the men, speaking encour- agingly to each group. I guess he saw something was up, and no doubt he made up his mind then and there to improve at least the humor of the men. There's an old saying that a man can best be reached through ‘is stomach, and I guess he be- Meves in that maxim. Shortly afterward we saw the colonel, his cook and two of the troopers of Company I strike out along the narrow road toward the town, and we wondered what was up. It was probably an hour or so after this, and during a little resting spell in our work of clearing ground and making things a little camp- like, that the savory and almost forgotten odor of beef stew began to sweep through the clearing. Men who were working stopped short and began to sniff, and those who had stopped work for a breathing spell forget to breathe for a second. Soon they joined ip the sniffing, and I'll wager every one of us was sniffing as hard as he knew how. Oh, but didn’t that smell fine! We weren't sure that it was for us, but we had a smell of it, anyway. Quick- ly drooping spirits revived, and as the fumes of the boiling stew became stronger the humor of the men improved.
