MOTHERS OF GENIUSES. A Few Great Men Whose Talents Are Direttly Inherited Gifts. In proof ot inherited talent it is said that the mother of Schumann was endowed with great musical ability, and that Chopin received his gut and also his delicate con* etitution from tho maternal side. Gounod's mother was exceedingly fond of both music and' painting, while the mother of Spohr was an excellent judge of music and a fine critic without being herself a mu sician. 4 Hilton's letters show tender love and gratitude to his mother, and Ba leigh credits to his the politeness of deportment which' ever distinguish ed him. Goethe pays frequent trib ute in his writings to the character and culture of his mother, as does also the poet Wordsworth. Haydn dedicated one of his most famous instrumental compositions to hin mother, and Sydney Smith believed that from his came his rare con versational powers and quick rep artee. It is well Irnpwn'that Gib bon's mother was a great reader und cultivated the same taste and habit in her son. The mother of Charles Darwin made herself acquainted with all branches. ,of natural his tory and entertained a great fond ness for animals. This simple record is in evidence that maternal talents and tastes are frequently handed down and trace able in sons as a direct inheritance. It is claimed that the gifts of the -father usually descend to tho daugh ters.?Exchange. Curious Surnames. A young soldiery in the French -army who lately volunteered in tho service rejoices in the distinction of having what would appear to be one -of the oddest names on record. The unlucky lad is named Adolph Maxi milian E F G, these three letters -of the alphabet being all he can boast of as a surname. The recruiting sergeant severely reprimanded the young volunteer for disrespectful joking when ho spelled out his abbreviated pat ronymic, and was only convinced that the appellation, was bona fide when the lad showed him his pa pers. . It seems, however, that there are queerer names than E F G. For "instance, a wine merchant living in the suburbs of Paris is called Mon sieur O. . The name, by the way, is met with in Normandy, where a iamily was once known who bore tho name of iyO, with the title of marquis. A member of the family, Froncis d'O, was superintendent of finance under Henry EH. of France. One letter patronymics, however, are not so uncommon as might be supposed. There are .said to be five persons in Paris whose names are of this abbreviated type. An Animal Curiosity. There are not very many trans parent animals,'but studies of two larval eels, which possess this pecul iarity and which belong to the .Na tional mus?um,* seem to show that among the possible advantages of being transparent is economy in personal decoration. In ordinary opaque animals the color markings are symmetrical on the two sides of the body, but-this is not the case with the transparent eels. Each of them, whenlo?ked at from one side, appears to have seven large black spots arranged at nearly regular in tervals along the length of its body, but closer examination shows that in each case three of the spots are on the left side and four on the right and irregularly placed, but in euch a manner that, on looking through the body, all seven appear in a symmetrical row. i , Wouldn't 8ell His Name. Soon after Gen-oral Lee went to Lexington, Va., he "was offered the presidency of .an insurance company at a salary of $10,000. He was at that time receivingjonly $3,000 as president of the Washington and Lee university. "W? do not want you to discharge any duties, general/* said the agent. 4<Wo simply wish the use of your name; that will abundantly com pensate us." "Excuse me, sir," was the prompt and decided rejoinder. "I cannot consent to receive. pay\ for services X do not render." Shortly before his death a wealthy corporation in New York city offered aim $50,000 per annum ' to become its president. But he re fus* all sucn ouers and quietly pursued his chosen path of duty.

Their Graves Dot the Mountains of tho Arch'cslago. "One of the curious spectacles of the Sulu archipelago, in the Philip pine Islands, is the grave where the first sultan of the islands lies jburied," said H. F. Hopkins, a dis charged soldier on his way to Peo^ lia. "It lies at the top of a steep mountain about five miles outside the little walled .city of Jolo, the capital of the Mohammedan people in the Philippines. The mountain is visible for a great distance.- Ships coming into the remote port catch sight of it before another point of land is visible. It attracts attention because it is one of the 'bald' moun tains of the Philippines?that is, there is almost no growth on it It looks like a shaven lawn in the dis tance, though, as a matter of fact, there is grass of many ^?"xra' gwwva upon its slopes, so thick and high that a man can with difficulty make a wty through it. On tho crest there is one little tuft of trees. They look like bushes at a distance, though one with f?u experienced* eye makes allowances. "I once formed one of a detail that set out to reach that mountain top. We had no reason to make the trip other than that it looked attractive and hard to attain. It was half a day's trip up the steep slopes, and when we reached the top we found 'a small grove, with a solitary grave in the shadow of the trees. It was surrounded by a little line of rocks, end there were quite fresh pieces of white cloth hung in a horizontal position above the mound. These were kept in place by tying them to tree trunks near by. Natives had seen us laboring to our high posi tion, and had followed to see that we did .not desecrate th? grav?. "From these we learned that it was the grave of the first sultan of the Sulus, and that the cloth had been renewed regularly since h? had been laid- there as a preventive again.it evil spirits. We learned later that there is scarcely a moun tain in> the archipelago that does not have its ?.ultan's grave."?St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Willing to Oblige. An Englishman at a dinner once 'told a tale of a tiger he tad shot which' measured twenty-four feet from snout to tailtop. Every one was astonished, but no one#ventured to insinuate a doubt of the truth of the story. Presently a Scotchman told his tale. He had once caught a fish which, he said, he was unable to pull in alone, managing only to land it at last with the aid of six friends. "It was a skate and it covered two acres." Silence followed this recital, dur ing Vaich the offended Englishman left the table. Tho host followed. After returning he said to the Scotchman: "Sir, you have insult ed my friend. You must apolo gize.? "I dinna insoolt him," said the Scot. "Yes, you did, with your two acre fish story. You must apologize." "Well," said the offender slowly, with the air of one making a great concession, "tell him if he will take ten feet off that1, tiger I will see what. I can do with the fish."?Pear son's. , A Considerate Patient. 9i have a patient who is wonder-? fully considerate," says a physician quoted by the Philadelphia Ledger.

"He came out of his attack, and a few days-later called to Bee me at my office.

I couldn't do otherwise than take the little bottles' from him without a word, and next time I'll give him quinine in another form." A Counter Thrust. "The late Lora Morris,"-Bays The Candid Friend, "was unsparing in the counter thrust when he was (as sailed. An English official, who filled the post of undersecretary te the }?vd lieutenant, once was rude enou \ to remark in a loud voice vt a Dublin dinner table that it was a /strange arrangement, and one characteristic of Ireland, that he should have a much smaller salary than the chief justice!?Morris was then chief justice?though his func tions were so very mhen more im portant.

For sale by Orr-Gray Co. A Sea of Salt. We are continually hearing of strange places and strange occupa tions in various pails of our country, but one of the strangest sights must be that afforded by tho great sea of salt described recently in The Pitts barg Dispatch, by Jose de Olivares. Perhaps it would more properly be called a field of salt, bat as it extends over a thousand aoreo, and presents oae smooth white aurfaeo, it looks like a frozen sea or lake. The salt is formed from springs of salt water which are continually rising to the sarfaoe of the grouad and over flowing. As the water on the top evap orates, it leaves a crust of salt vvhioh sometimes forms to a depth of eight inchos. The salt fields are just north of the Mexican boundary, in th? midst of the Colorado desert, whero the sun beats down fiercely and causes the water to evaporate rapidly. The region is Lwu hundred and sixty-four feet be low sea level. The method of obtaining the salt seems a' strange one, and differs es sentially from that employed where the salt is mined after the usual man ner. A plow is first used. This con sists of a steel blade or breaker which is drawn by a steam "dummy" or engine, managed by two Indian labor ers. The plow breaks up a broad, shallow farrow. Other Indian work ers follow with, hoes and stir these broken pieces of salt about in the shallow water which is just beneath, until they are comparatively clean. They then pile them up into stacks of pyramid shape, where they are left to drain. The idea of washing the salt in Water to rid it of impurities, soems incredible, as one would, of course, expect the salt to melt; but it does not for the reason that the water be neath is already Raiuratod with all the salt it can hold. After these salt pyramids . have drained sufficiently they are loaded on flat cars and taken to the mills where they are dried and crushed. After drying thoroughly, the salt is ground fine, then sifted, and finally placed in an "aspirator" which is a machine for drawing off all impure substances that remain. This process makes the salt fit for tablo use. Coarser grades also are made in the same mill, and from these the fore'.jn substances are not so care fully separated, since this salt is used for mechanioal purposes, and is not intended to be eaten. . Iu the mill are Japanese workers who sew the sacks in which the salt is to be plaoed. All the workers in the fields are Indians. The work is very trying, and it is doubtful if any but an Indian could be induced to oarry it on. The son is intensely hot, and the reflection from the dazzling white surface is almost unbearable. Even the Indians have to wear color ed glasses to proteot their eyes. Then the air is so charged with salt that it produces ? constant thirst, which is hard to quonoh, for there is no dear sparkling water to be obtained in the region. What is not actually salt is warm and disagreeable to the taste. During the summer months the ther mometer registers one hundred and forty degrees for weeks at a time, and this intense heat causes the water to exaporale so quickly that the some field is worked over and over, its crop of salt never being exhausted.?For ward.

The Agricultural Department has made public valuable information tojohing the egg as au article of food. JPhe facts have been demonstrated that hard-boiled and fried eggs re quire three and one-half hours for di gestion, soft-boiled* eggs require three hours, roasted eggs two and quarter hours, raw eggs, not whipped, one and ono-lj alf hours. It has also been es tablished that from ninety-three to ninety-seven per cent, of an egg that is eaten is digested. ? Farmers in the vicinity of Cabin Johns, Montgomery eonnty, Maryland, j are muoh excited over the discovery of a vein of gold-carrying dirt three feet below the surfaoe, on tho farm of John Bull, a Washington, D.

Since the Anglo-Boer war begau, two years ago. about 6400 British officers and men have been killed in action and not quite 30,000 wounded. In the Iwo days' fighting at Gettys burg in July, 18G3, nearly as many men (5662) were killed and nearly as | many (27,203) wounded. War is not so deadly as it used to be. ?
