ANCIENT INVENTIONS. THEY GO TO PROVE THERE IS NOTH ING NEW UNDER THE SUN. "With. All Our Modern Progress We Have Not Been Able to Improve on Encl id or to Devise a. More Scien tific Game Than Chen. Something, very similar to the tele phone was used in. China 1,000 years ago. Natural gas conveyed in bamboo tubes was utilized in China ages ago, and one of their writers mentions boxes which repeated the sounds of people's voice's that were dead, a ma chine similar to Edison's phonograph. Ancient Egypt boasted "a nickel dn the slot" machine, while Layard found in ruins of Nineveh what Sir David Brewster pronounced to be "a magni fying glass." and nearly 4,000 years ago the Egyptians and Assyrians ob served the stars through a sort "of primitive telescope. Thimbles have been found In prehis toric mounds with every evidence of having been made by machinery sim ilar to our own. Hatpins with glass ' heads and safety pins with a little coiled spring at one end and a catch at the other were in use ia Pompeii 2,000 years ago. Combs and hairpins have been in existence for 20 centuries, . and housewives 5,000 years ago patch ed their husband's garments with nee dles and thread. Very fine razors are made at the present day, but are of no finer steel than that contained in the Damascus swords and knives which the ancients used several thousand years ago. The people cf Tyre were such ex perts in dyeing that Tyrian purple re m?ins unexcelled to this day. The Egyptians were also wonderful dyers and* could produce colors so durable that they may be called imperishable, j /"They were also wonderful glass work ers and could make glass malleable in a way which Is unknown to us.

Twenty centuries before .the birth of Watt Nero cf Alexandria described ma- ; chines whose motive power was steam. He also Invented a double force pump, used as a fire engine, and anticipated the modern turbine wheel by a ma chine he called" "neolpile." While, the learned of Eurppe were !. forbidding, as a heresy, the doctrine of , the globular figure of the earth, the j caliph Al Maim?n was measuring the i length of a degree along the shores of the Red sea.

Alcohol was first distilled by the Arabians, and when we talk about coffee and alcohol we are using Arabic words. We gratify our taste In the way of personal adornment in the way taught us by orientals-viz, with pearls, ru bles, sapphires, diamonds. The most magnificent fireworks are still to be seen in India and China, and Europe has invented nothing which can rival the game of chess. We have no hy draulic constructions as great as the Chinese canal, no fortifications as ex tensive as' the Chinese wall; wc have no artesian wells that can approach in depth some of theirs, nor have we ever tried to obtain coal gas from the in terior of the earth, while they have borings for that purpose more than' -3,000 feet deep. Oriental physicians practiced vacci nation over 1,000 y ears. ago. Anaes thetics were known in the days of Homer, and the Chinese 2,000 years ago had a preparation of hemp known as "una yo" to deaden pain, something similar to our modern cocaine.-Los j Angeles Times.

Hook forged 4,000 letters. to 4,000 tradesmen and others requesting them to call on a certain day and hour at the house of a wealthy widow, Mrs. Tot tenham, in Berners street, London, against., whom he had conceived a grudge.' These people began to arrive soon after daybreak. The rush continued until nearly midnight They came by fifties and hundreds. There were 100 chimney sweeps, 100 bakers, 50 doctors, 50 dentists, 50 ac couchers. There were priests to ad minister extreme unction and Metho dist ministers to offer last prayers. There were 50 confectioners with wed ding cakes, 50 undertakers with cofc fins, 50 fishmongers with baskets of cod and lobsters. They pushed, quar reled and fought, and the police were called out to prevent a riot Finally among the hoaxed ones came the gov ernor of the Bank of England, the roy al Duke of Gloucester and the lord mayor of London, each lured thither by some cunning pretext A police Investigation followed, but the per petrator was not detected. Florence and Sothern once asked Captain Lee, Adelaide Nealson's Eng lish husband, to dinner at Gramercy Park hotel, where he was to meet Vanderbilt Astor, Governor Seymour, Longfellow, Bryant and other noted Americans. These gentlemen were for the occa sion personated by Billy Travers, Lar ry Jerome, Nelse Seymour, Dan Bry ant and other choice spirits, who, after Violent quarrels, drew pistols and bowie knives and filled the room with curses, shrieks and explosions. The Englishman, convinced that these were ordinary American manners, div ed, under the table, where he remained until dragged out amid the laughter of ail present A horse dealer having refused to give "Sherry" further credit the wit wrote asking that the dealer's wife should bring t: .. carriage and get the money. She;.Jan's footman induced her to sit down to a delicate lunch, and while she was eating it "Sherry" slipped into the carriage and drove off. Again he ordered two pairs of boots from two reluctant makers. When they were brought he sent each maker away to stretch one of his boots. Then he put on the remaining two and took a trip to the country. ' Phillp, duke of Wharton, when a young man had a tutor whom he cor dially disliked. One night long after the good domi nie had retired the duke awoke him in seemingly great haste and excitement The dominie hustled into his dressing gown and slippers and came trembling, yawning and groaning to the door. "Sir," said Wharton deferentially, "will you lend me a pin?" , After the defeat and flight of Charles I the daredevil Duke of Buckingham disguised himself as a mountebank, set up a stage in the heart of London and for days laughed in the faces of the stern Puritans, who were thirsting for his life. One day when his own sister, the beautiful Duchess of Rich mond, was passing, the jocular duke set the mob on to drag her from her rarriage. They forced her to witness the pranks of her brother, whom she recognized, but could not betray. A noted Joke immortalized in Lever's "Charles O'Malley" was actually per petrated by Mr. Frederick Welcome, a student In Trinity college, Dublin. Mr. Welcome pretended to hear a voice In the sewer and persuaded the mob that a prisoner had escaped Into the sewer from the jail and that he was perishing there. The mob exca vated the street The troops were call ed out and a riot followed.-St Louis Republic. The Watch Oak Tree. The Brooklyn Times gives an inter esting account of a fine oak tree which stands on the grave of a Presbyterian minister in the cemetery at Hunting ton, N. Y. The clergyman's son has encircled the tree with a bronze tablet with the following inscription: "This tree was grown from an acorn taken from the historic watch oak tree of England and planted by the Rev. James McDougal, 18G2." The watch oak tree referred to stands near the town of Battle, Eng land. The pin-"? was formerly called Senac. It ls near the spot where Har old II, the king of England, gathered his army for a battle with William the Conqueror on Oct 14, 10GG. Tradition has It that the oak tree stood in a prominent position and that from its branches Harold's men observed the movements of the Invading Normans. The name watch oak was given it, and as such it has been known during the centuries since that memorable battle. Tactful. A little tact sometimes saves a great deal of pain, and every man whoso duty it is to select or dismiss em- j ployees will find its uso as essential to his own comfort as to that of the men with whom he deals. The New York Sun tr'.:* the story of a case which ! called fur extraordinary tact and re ceived it. The conductor was trying the voice j of a young woman who wished to se- 1 cure a place in an opera troupe. Tho manager was standing bj*. The candi- | date was frail and timid. She finished her song with an air of distress. "How is it?" asked the manager un ceremoniously. , The conductor caught the pleading eyes of the girl. But ho had his duty to perform. He struck three notes on the plano and left the rest to the man ager. The three notes were BAD. It will not be a surprise to any who are at, all familiar with thc good qual ities ol' Chamberlain's Cough l?emedy, Lo know that people everywhere take pleasure in relating their experience in the use of that splendid medicine md in telling of the benefit they have received from it, of bad colds it has sured, of threatened attacks of pneu monia it has averted and of the chil iren it has saved from attacks of croup md whooping cough. It is a grand, ?ood medicine. For sale by Hill-Orr t)rug Gb. CORK LEGS ARE MYTHS. ; Information From an Expert In tlie Artificial Limb Business. "The terni 'cork les' is a misnomer," j said a man who used to be in the artifi cial limb business. "There never was any such a thing, and a leg actually made of cork would be as unwieldy as a sawlog. The up to date artificial limb is a very thin shell of weeping willow, covered with rawhide, and j some of them that come clear up to the j hip have been built as light as three j pounds. "It is a singular fact that a first class ? leg, which is supposed to have a life of about five years, will be more than paid for in the saving of shoes. Of i course, the false foot wears a shoe, j just the same as the real one, but for j some reason that bas never been fully \ explained it isn't as bard on leather. ? A flesh and blood leg will wrear out j four shoes while its mechanical mate j is wearing-out one, due perhaps to the j footgear never being removed at night j and the lack of elasticity in the tread. The best customer of the makers is the government which pays for a new ar tificial limb once every five years for pensioners maimed in war.. The price fixed by law is $75, but scores of old soldiers simply draw the money and j make the same leg do for as long as 15 years at a stretch. Artificial arms are made very successfully nowadays, and a certain amount of action is secured In the hand, even when the stump reaches only a few inches from the ? shoulder. With one of the styles, for | example, a man can lift his hat and re place it on his head with a surprisingly natural movement The mechanism by which the false hand is made to open and close is controlled by a strap, which reaches to the opposite shoulder. A slight shrug does the work, and a lit tle practice renders it imperceptible. "There has been a wonderful Im provement In limbmaking during the last ten years, and a properly con structed artificial leg cannot be detect ed by the casual observer. The chief difficulty with the old style was its tendency to swing outward In an arc of a circle at every step. That has been entirely overcome. Some years ago, when I was in business at Chica go, I fitted out a man who had lost both legs and both arms in a Dakota blizzard. When I first saw him, he was simply a helpless trunk, lying on a cot In the hospital, and his deplorable con dition had reduced him to a state of despair bordering on insanity. I took a great deal of interest in the case, and I flatter myself that I did a fairly good job. When I got through with him, he was able to get up without as sistance, walk about, feed himself and do a hundred and one little things that changed life from a mere blank to 1 something really endurable. When he , found himself emancipated from total helplessness, he improved mentally, and now, I dare say, he wants to live as long as anybody. "One of the greatest obstacles to suc cessful limb fitting is the carelessness of surgeons in performing amputations. An operation may be entirely success ful from a surgical standpoint, yet leave a stump upon which a false leg can never be worn with comfort I know of a number of cases in which a ? reamputation has been submitted to for the express purpose of correcting such difficulties. Every medical col lege course ought to include at least one lecture with practical demonstra tions by a thoroughly scientific maker of artificial limbs. It would be of In estimable value to the students in aft er practice." - New Orleans Times Democrat Dolls- Heads. Years ago doll heads were made of wood, carved out by hand, and great ; numbers of dolls were sold that were j entirely of wood, with jointed arms ' and legs. Some dolls of this sort look- i lng quaint enough now, though they j were once so common, are still sold, but the great bulk of the dolls now made have bodies of cloth or leather, with heads of china, bisque or papier ma?he. There are also dolls' heads of metal, these heads being made of brass in two parts, stamped out with dies 1 j and joined together. I In the process by which these heads ! are made, many dies are used in the ! production of a single head, the metal I being worked to its final shape gradu- ? ally. The first die makes but a barely* perceptible Impression upon the piece of sheet metal from which the head is to be formed. The next shapes it a little more, and so on by pressure from successive dies, each a little more sharply defined, the head is brought finally to i ts perfect form. These heads are made in various sizes and In vari ous styles as to details of finish. They ' cost about the same as the best bisque heads, but one of the merits claimed ' for them Is indestructibility.-New ; York Sun. , ? Freezing Furs-nnd Moths. Once upon a time a woman who had cedar chests in which to store her win ter belongings was considered a fortu nate being Indeed and looked upon with envy by ber sister housewives. Now cedar chests, camphor and moth balls are all scorned as old fashioned ? and inadequate by the patrons of cold j storage warehouses, where furs are i taken care of and costly draperies, ! rugs, etc., are sent for protection from the moths, i The expert furriers say that beat and ; not moths is the chief danger that threatens furs. A month's wear in ! warm weather is harder on fine furs than years of use with the thermometer at freezing point. Heat takes the life out of fur and pales the color, leaving lt limp, dull and faded. In the modern storage house the furs are kept In rooms where the air is dry as a bone and the temperature many degrees be low freezing point Any daring moth that found its way into this room J would be at once frozen stiff.-New j York Commercial Advertiser. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the rf .j^TZ^ Signature of C^^-^^T^^^ - In a Methodist church in a re mote Georgia community, the old rule-of separation of the sexes during worship is observed. Short ozi Beauties. To ooo woman who is a picture you will find throe who are caricatures. This unhappy state of things is not en tirely duo to the stingy way in which Dame Nature doles out diviue shoul ders and perfect noses and Cupid's buw mouths. It is more often a general lack of understanding of grooming and gowning. Add to this the painful ig norance concerning the care of the health and methodical treatment of the hair and complexion', and j'ou have the main reasons why the world is so short on beauties and long on plain women. One of the greatest words in the English language is "fitness." The man who knows the meaning of this word and profits by his knowledge usually comes out well in business matters and domestic ones too. The woman who is equally well informed as to what ls in good taste and "fit ting" is not only beloved by "viends and acquaintances, but she is well poised in character and always good to look upon. The girl who is 5 feet 1 inch in her bedroom slippers and who invariably invests in a top heavy hat that w'ould be becoming only to a woman of ample, stunning proportions and regal car riage is one of the many to whom the word "fitness" has no more meaning than the yowls of a yellow cat or the peeps of a canary bird.-Chicago Times Herald. Soap For Car Fare. An amusing incident happened on a Carondelet street car the other after noon. The'car was going south. At Lam i street a big, portly woman got aboard. On her arm she carried a large market basket that apparently was filled with "bargain" purchases from some department store. Three minutes after she had sat down and deposited the basket between her feet on the floor the conductor came along with tlie usual cry, "Fare, please." The old lady opened her purse and began rummaging through the various pockets for a nickel. Again and again she went through it, but no change was to be found. Then she turned to the conductor ?nd said: "I was sure I had saved car fare, but I cannot find it. I live at the end of your line and will pay you then." "That won't do; must have your fare now," said the fare collector. "Well, I haven't the money." "Well, give me something the value of a nickel, and you eau redeem it at the end of the line.'' The old lady hesitated a moment, then put her hand down into the basket and drew out a bar of laundry soap and handed it to him. Everybody in the car laughed, but the conductor took the soap and rang up her fare.-St. Louis Star. A Saving: That In LOBB. Isn't it possible to have too much economy? If we scrimp and pinch every bit of sweetness out of life, what a heavy price we pay for economy! Often one may lose a friend or catch a disastrous cold or miss a train for some little miserable point of economy. People often laboriously save at an actual loss. A woman will press her way to a bargain counter at danger to life and limb and pickpockets and go away radiant with a pair of 59 cent gloves which will last about three wearings. The same woman will go to an Incompetent dressmaker and have her new gown ruined in the name of economy. "Economy is wealth," sayeth the wise saw, but the poor make believe economy which over reaches itself defeats its own purpose and leads to nothing but the direst poverty of spirit and purse. Before rashly deciding on a point of economy it is fully worth while to sit down and figure out which is the more profitable, to leave " the gas burning or waste matches.-Carrie E. Garrett In Wom an's Home Companion. The Result. Greene-Why did they discharge the messenger boy? Brown-Well, you see, Dr. Bungle sent him to the drug store with a pre scription, and on his way there Scrib bles, the author, gave him a poem to take to The Daily Bugle. The boy got the two mixed, and Bungle's patient re ceived such a mixture that he died. Greene-What became of the pre scription? Brown - Oh, it was printed as Scribble's poem and made such a hit that he got $000 for it, and the paper signed a contract to take all he can write for a year at $10 a line-Cleve land Leader. The Shiphonse; An interesting landmark of German town, Pa., ls the "Ship House," in Main street, above Washington lane, a short distance from the battlefield of Germantown. The building received its odd name on account of a plaster of paris model of a ship which has been on the lower gable of thc house from time immemorial. This model is sup posed to have been placed there by. a former owner, a sea captain. The rear of the building was the first hall in Germantown and was used for prayer meetings and singing schools. The frout part was erected about 17G0, and the hall was built afterward. Or.trich "Telephoning*." When thc eggs on the ostrich farms of California are at the point of hatch ing, says Charles F. Holder, a curious tapping of the shells may be heard. This the keepers call "telephoning." The sound is caused by the chicks in side the eggs endeavoring to break out. Those which cannot easily emerge are assisted by the mother bird, which will sometimes break an egg from which the telephoning Is heard by, pressing it carefully and will then aidj the chick to get out.

Sandwich Isl?ndern" "Way of Filling: the Wood Box. Boys whose most, distasteful task is to keep the wood box filled, or who are expected to split the kindling wood ev ery night, would undoubtedly enjoy living at Hawaii. Firewood there is not only very scarce, but they get it out of tho water, another feature of the matter which would probably appeal to such of the boys as delight in "goin swimmin." H. W. Henshaw, writing in The Youth's Companion, says of this custom: Upon the shores of Hawaii firewood is a scarce and precious commodity. Tbe present forests do not grow near tho sea, and the labor of bringing wood from the distant timber is great, espe cially as roads are few. Practically all the firewood of the natives, and much that is used by the Europeans in the towns, is drift that is brought down periodically from the uplands by fresh ets that follow heavy rains. There is nothing strange in all this, but what is strange is the way the natives gather the wood. Pick it up on the beach? Not at all; at least, very little is obtained in that commonplace manner. Much of the island timber is extreme ly heavy, and instead of floating in orthodox fashion, as wood should do, it promptly sinks to the bottom. As the freshet gathers headway, down come the heavy tree trunks and branches, dashing fiercely against the rough lava sides of the stream and bumping against the bottom till all semblance of their original shape is lost and they are bruised into shapeless blocks or split into kindling. * The current carries them well into the ocean, where they settle into the sand. The first stage of their journey is over, now for the second. In a day# or two the ocean rises in its might and sends in huge breakers upon the shores, which catch the logs and splin ters and roil them over and over, still on the bottom, toward the beach. Hero ls the native's chance. He has been waiting long for just such an op portunity. Down to the shore come the Kanakas in troops. No one is left be hind save the sick and the blind. Men, women and children are all on the beach, having an eye both to business and to pleasure. The women are clad in old, loose holakus, a garment I may best describe by likening it to the original "Mother Hubbard." The men doff their gar ments and don the economical malo, or waist cloth. The children follow suit, so far as doffing goes, and don-well, to tell the truth, most of them don nothing, and if they are satisfied, you and I need not complain. And now for it. The men dash into the breakers, div ing under the big combers and rising on the crests of the smaller ones till they are out shoulder high; then they feel around with their feet till they find a piece of wood-it may be only a splinter, or it may be a log so large as to require the aid of a rope to pull it In; but, large or small, no matter. Down dives the Kanaka head foremost to seize the prize. The women and children wade in a little distance to catch the smaller pieces that get past the men. and soon the piles on the shore grow from noth ing to cords. A hardy native will stay in the wa ter, wading and diving, for a couple of hours and then come out. pretty thor oughly chilled, to sun himself on the beach in readiness for another bout with the waves, meantime solacing himself with the inevitable pipe or cigarette. Hard work ls this wood gathering by diving, what between the buffetings of the waves, the cold and the labor of tugging the logs ashore. But for all that shouts and laughter fill the air, and one might suppose the occasion was a summer picnic. Whatever his faults, the Kanaka has not added to the gloom and discontent of the world. He endures disappoint ment and misfortune with equanimity, and when the clouds pass and the sun shines he is ready to laugh and be glad. - It is said that two million Eng lish sparrows were recently destroyed in a storm in Arkansas. - Haste makes waste and too much. waist makes people slow. No woman can be too careful of ber condition during the period be fore her little ones are born. Neglect or improper treatment then endan gers her life and that of the child. It hes with her whether she shall suffer unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal shall be made comparatively easy. She had better do nothing than do something wrong. MOTHER'S FRIEND Is the one and the only preparation that is safe to use. It is a liniment that penetrates from the outside. External applications are eternally right. Internal medicines are radi cally wrong. They are more than humbugs-they endanger life. Mother's Frienci helps the muscles to relax and expand naturally-re lieves morning sickness-removes the cause of nervousness and head ache- prevents hard and rising breasts-shortens labor and lessens the pains-and helps the patient to rapid recovery.
