CURIOUS: Attendant at Cathedral Had More Than Usual English Stolidity. “While going through an English cathedral,” said a returned visitor the other day, “we noticed that all the tombs except one had inscriptions er- plaining them. Be_-g curious to know whose tomb it was that did not bear an inscription I walked down to an iron railing, the gate of which was in charge of an old man. We had en- tered this gate to view the tombs. paying the customary sixpence admis- sion. Pointing to the tomb, which was less than seventy-five feet from the gate at which the old man was sta- tioned, I said to him: ‘Beg pardon, but whose tomb is that one there? It has no card on it,’ and I’m curious tb know its history.’ “Looking up toward where I was pointing and peering through the rather dim atmosphere of the church the old man in the most pathetic tone imaginable replied: ‘I don’t know, sir; I've never been up that far.’ “Supposing that he was a new: comer I said: ‘How long have you been here?’ Slowly but proudly came the reply: “Twenty-seven years.” IMMENSE CONTINENT OF ICE. Has Accumulated in Greenland for Untold Centuries. The largest mass of ice in the world is probably the one which fills up nearly the whole of the interior of Greenland, where it has accumulated since before the dawn of history. It is believed to now form a block about 600,000 square miles in area, and averaging a mile and a half in thick- ness. According to these statistics, the lump of ice is larger in yolume than the whole body of water in the Mediterranean; and there is enough of it to cover the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland with a layer about seven miles thick. If it were cut into two convenient slabs and built up equally upon the en- tire surface of “gallant little Wales ic would form a pile more than 120 mil igh. There is fce enough in Greenland to bury the entire area of the United States a quarter of a mile deep.—London Tit-Bits. Dreams and Their Influence. Eight hundred persons, chiefly wom- en, belonging to different American training colleges, have been giving an interviewer their experience in dreams and some surprisingly interesting in- formation has resulted. A writer in an article devoted to the question says that dreams can be preventec by sug- gestion and that neither seasons, days nor months have any effect on them. Children dream of events very soon after occurrence, while with “grown- ups” the more striking the event, the longer is the interval between it and its representation in dreamland. The article concludes by saying that the influence of dreams on real life is much greater than is generally sup- posed. Valet Watched Over Nelson. Lord Nelson was a very sparing eater, and never drank more than five glasses of wine. Even had he shown any wish to do so his faithful valet, Tom Allen, who ruled the admiral with a rod of iron, would have interfered. A biographer tells how at a certain stage of a certain dinner “honest Tom Allen pushed in his bullet head with an eager gaze at his master, and after a little ¢onsideration approached the admiral. ‘You will be ill if you take any more wine.’ ‘You are perfectly right, Tom, and I thank you for the hint. Hardy, do the honors. And, gentlemen, excuse me for retiring, for my battered old hulk is very crazy— indeed, not seaworthy.’” His Day of Fate. Death from snake bite is somewhat rare in South africa, but a record case is reported from the veldt. A Boer named Johannes Smit had gone to the mouth of the Selous river to shoot crocodiles, when he had an exciting encounter with a leopard. Smit would undoubtedly have met his death if a large hound, which was accompanying him, had not sprung upon the wound- ed animal, enabling Smit to fire a sec- ond charge. Almost immediately after the incident, as he was passing through thick undergrowth, the unfortunate man was bitten by a poisonous snake and his death occurred within an hour or two. Still Believe in Horoscopes. Sir George Airy, the great astron- omer royal, once stated that it was by no means an uncommon occurrence for them to receive letters at Green- wich observatory from people asking what the fees would be for horoscopes which would show them what the fu- ture had in store. When they were informed that casting horoscopes was no part of an astronomer royal’s ties they seemed to lose all respect or the office. When he informed them, besides, that horoscopes were nonsense they wondered how such a simpleton had managed to obtain such a position. Getting the Story Right. A resident Irish landlord with an estate of 30,000 or 40,000 acres, many quaint stories are told of Lord An- unm’s devotion to his home affairs. Someone in great trepidation once 2 him that somebody else had seen » earl driving three cows along the | hority to contradiet a story so de- tory to his dignity. “The man ij\vas under a misapprehension,” re- plied Lord Antrim; “it was not three cows, but two cows and a bull.” . and he asked for Lord Antrim’s | ILL WATCH FOR MONTEZUMA Priests Tend Sacred Fire and Await Return of King. Taos stands unique and distinet trom all the other pueblos, and is ‘unusually interesting to the student of ethnology. It is there that the eter- nal fire is said to be kept burning in the estufa, or underground temple, and there the priests climb daily to the housetops and gaze toward the ris- ing sun, hoping to see the returning Montezuma sailing toward them on his eagle. The fire, it is said, was removed to this village from Pecos in the early part of the last century, when the latter was abandoned. <Ac- cording to rumor it is kept in a sa- ered temple built in the bowels of the earth and connected with the sur- face by hidden passages and laby- rinths. The priests tend the sacred fire carefully, and, if tradition is to be believed, it has not been extinguished since Montezuma left the earth for his heavenly home. Taos was also the home of Kit Carson, the famous scout who led Gen. Fremont through the wilds and whose name has been sung fn many tongues. He lived and died in the little village, loved and respect- ed by all the Indians.—Southern Workman. TRUE STATEMENT OF COUNSEL. All in Courtroom Witnesses of the Judge’s Reversal. “I once attended some legal pro- ceedings in Nevada,” says a Philadel- phia lawyer, “which were unconven- tional, to say the least. The judge presiding made up what he lacked in legal lore by a certain entertainingly joviality. The case before him was windy and long drawn out, and it was plainly to be seen that he was tired and uninterested. To one of his de- cisions counsel for the defendant promptly took exception and his hon- or nodded carelessly and settled down in his ample chair. For a moment or two he quietly dropped off to sleep, his chair tilted back against the wall. Suddenly he fell over backward, and, scrambling to his dignity and his seat, he sought to cloak his mishap by ex- claiming abruptly and irrelevantly: “No, counselor, I must adhere to my decision of a moment ago.’ “Counsel for the defense arose, and, with a serious bow, said: ‘Ah, but your honor has just reversed himself most conclusively.’”—Harper’s Week- ly. Nirvana of Buddhism. The Buddhist forbears to slaugh- ter animals, be it for food, sport or scientific purposes; he discredits the theory that they have been created for the use of man, and that he has any right over them. The Buddha sat and taught that every human be- ing, high or low, animal cr humazg, , while transmigrating in any of the ma- terial, semi-material and illusive happiness, and that last- ing bliss is found only in Nirvana. He saw that the will to live to enjoy was the cause of transmigration with: its miseries, and that when through enlightenment this will ceases. Nir- vana is attained and transmigration or incarnation in earthly bodies ceases. Picturesque California Women. The women grape-pickers of Cali- fornia are picturesque. There is just a dash of Indian to give color to the cheek a touch of Spanish, and just a suspicion of the old blood that built the wonderful cities ages ago in lower Mexico, making a combination attrac- tive to the lover of the picturesque. Dark hair, flashing black eyes, intelli- gent faces, perfect courtesy, intelli- gence that but needs suggestion to lead to higher grades, indeed, one could not look at thos® pickers, these cholos, as the tenderfoot called them, picking grapes, to see that it required but clothes and environment to make a remarkable change. Pumice Stone. Pumice stone, aside from its use as a cleaning agent, belongs to the most important polishing substances. While emery is used for polishing tools, pol- ishing paper for stone and glass, ox- ide of iron for fine glassware and lime for metals, pumice stone is employed for polishing softer articles. Pumice stone as found in nature is, according to its composition, nothing but lava which has received its foamlike poros- ity through the fact that the volcanic stone substance was cooled very rap- idly under strong development of gases. With Plenty of Opportunities. A teacher in a public school of Bos- ton once had great difficulty in im- parting to a boy pupil of 10 certain elementary principles of grammar. In class one day the instructor experi- enced more than the usual amount of trouble with the lad. In desperation the teacher finally blurted out the question: ‘fAt least, you can tell me why we study grammar.” “Yes, ma’am,” returned the pupil; “we study grammar so that we can jaugh at the mistakes of others.”— Harper’s Weekly. Pays to Watch Small Things. No matter what the general magni- tude of a business may be, it is well worth the while to look out for its minor affairs. This may be an age of large things in general, but it 1s, after all, from the handling of smaller deals that the greatest profits are de- rived. Small leakages are sure to slip by unnoticed unless the business is so organized that every detail, no matter of how little apparent significance, | checked. or nonmaterial * worlds, is subject to alternate misery ”| West Bound Train 83 Cloquet . .Flood wood, Swan River .
