ANIMALS ABOARD SKIP. TThey Hot Seasick, Though Not Just the Way Human Beings Do. "Speaking of animals getting sick .at sea/' said a man who has had somo -experience with thc dumb brutes on tho briny deep, "I can tell you that they do get sick, and sometimes they .get very sick too. Of course, they do not .manifest the sickness in thc way that human beings show it and f or reasons which will suggest them selves on a moment's reflection. .But they nevertheless get quite os aick as members of the human fam ily. Seasickness in human beings will manifest itself in violent vom iting. A seasick person cannot re tain anything in the stomach. The ?old rule that whatever goes up must .come down is in the case of pro nounced seasickness reversed. Wnat -ever goes down must come up. But .when wo come to reckon with horses .and cows wo find a different condi tion to deal with. Horses and cows never vomit, They cannot- So heire jcight at the beginning of the mat ter we'find a reston for difference .in tho way this peculiar sickness . shows itself in man and beast. "I have had moro* experience with iiiorses than with any other kind of ? dumb animal ana consequently know more about the way the horse -suffers during seasickness. It is a rather curious and rather interest ing fact that the -horse is more vio lently attacked in tho feet than in .any other portion of the body. I .Have seen the. feet of horses at sea ts well until they could scarcely stand .on them. Of coarse, tho stomach of the animal is affected to some ? extent, but this is not so eerious a matter as tho attack in the feet. uFhe .effect of these attacks is some times of a lasting kind, and thc . usefulness of horses is seriously i in paired. "Thc fact .that seasickness attacks The horse in the feet .is mainly due to the peculiar influence a vessel's xiioiion has on the kidneys of the ?animal. Af any rate, this is the .generally accepted view of the mat ter. We cannot say definitely just why horses get knotty feet at sea, .but the popular view of horsemen who have studied the matter is as ^stated. As to cows, I do not know -a great deal about them, but I un derstand the chief trouble with them at sea is that they lose their "taste for food and quit eating." New Orleans Times-Democrat. Japanese Gardens. .Very many Japanese houses have .beautiful gardens. The Japanese ?excel in gardening, and even in To kyo, where space is very valuable, they contrive to have some pictur esque adjunct. Over a bamboo trel lis, for instance, will hang the mar velously picturesque Japanese gourd, which forms a favorite subject for the decoration of metal work, es pecially the antimony metal work thinly silvered over with which the . -Japaneso flood the western market. .These gourds, with a pinch in the middle like a lady's waist, when .?dried end hollowed put are fitted y?ih stoppers for pilgrims' water bottles ana are very frequently ex ported.

Some hitherto undiscovered sayings of Jesus Christ have been recently dug up near Cairo, Egypt, by a party of English archaeologists. The writ ings, whioh are on papyrus, have boen buried sinoe the seoond century of the Christian era, and there seems to be no doubt of their authenticity. All of the sayings begin with the words: "Jesus saith," although un fortunately rr toy of the endings of the various lines have beoome oblite rated. All of them appear to have been addressed to St. Thomas. Some of them show variations in phraseo logy from tho words reoorded in tho four gospels, although the spirit is exactly the same; and this in itself seems to go far towards proving the authenticity of them. One variation is a different reading of the eleventh chapter and fifty-sev enth verse of St. Luke, whioh in jn the known version: "Woe unto you, lawyers. For ye have taken away the key of knowledge; ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hind ered." The papyrus just found has it: fiYe have hidden the key of know ledge;' ye entered not yourselves, and to them that were entering in ye did not open." One of the ssyings whioh is tho most notable is the following message of admonition and encouragement: ' Let not him that seeketh oeaso from his searoh until he find, and when he finds he shall wonder; wondering he shall pass into the kingdom-that is, the kingdom of heaven-and whcu he reaohes the kingdom he shall havo rest." Another new saying whioh is suve to arouse vast interest is the implioit answer to a question as lo when the kingdom of heaven is to be realized. Chriat'o disoiples propounded this query to Him; and he answered: "When ye return to the state of in nooenoe whioh existed before the fall." This is a pavallel seulement to the one whioh tells men that unless they beoome as "li?t?e oh i Id ron" they shall not enter thd kingdom of heaven. The variations of the new findings, from the accepted texts, are important though not as tending to disprove the r athentioity of either the one or the other. The difieren cen in the four ac cepted gospels themselves are excel lent proof, if proof were needod, of their authenticity. Different mon, writing of the same thing, will never treat the subject exactly alike in the most literal of reports. H&J Matthew Biais, Luke and John been oonnivin g to se* down somothing whioh never oc curred they would have revealed them selves by the absoluto agreement of their stories. But the gospels aro not in need of any defense. The new ly discovered ssyings recorded by St. Thomas msy help to throw light on some passages of the Bible; - bat they should be no osuse for dissension. % ; , M iii' . y ? V si i ' Grafts BB Ear OB Millionaire. Philadelphia, Pa., November 18. Dr. Andrew L. Neiden, of New York, performed to-day the operation of grafting an ear upon the head of a Western millionaire, whose name, the Surgeon baya, he's under bond not to re yeal. The operation was to have been performed in New York, but District. Attorney Jerome is said to have inter fered. Dr. Neiden advertised fora man willing to sell an ear for $5,000, and of three hundred applicants he Beleoted a young German who conducts a res taurant in New York. Dr. No?den said to-day: "The operation has been performed and promises to be ?uoooBof ul. I am ander legal contract and heavy bond not to reveal the name of my patient. ' Generally speaking, ho is a wealthy man from tho West. How he lost oneear X don't know. It appears to have been out off with a sharp instrument. I be - liever he ssys it was accidental, but ? never asked him to explain. "The operation took place at a pri vate hospital hero, where I was assist ed by a Philadelphia physician and one from Nesr York. I think they moy bo willing to hap? their names known later. ! 'The two men were placed in oppo site directions upon an elongated bed. One-half of the volunteer's ear, the upper half, was oat off, together, with about four in ohos of the skin behind the ear. "This was twisted around and fitted to a freshly prepared wound apon tho patient's head. Tho half esr was held ia place by bandages and thc.two men bound so they osunos move their . "They must remain in tMs position for at kati twelve days, to allow *We circulation to c?me through the fla? of skin that still romaine a part of the volunteer's scalp. "?f this half ear starte fco anita properly the lower half of the ear will be graf tod in the same manner. " ' 'm^?; /^St? _i^^^ ?BOVlB"3? Millions For ?oat Skins. A new industry is offering itself to the farmers and manufacturers of thc United States. Thefaot that $25,000, OOO of goat skins are now annually imported into the United States and that our enterprising manufacturers are now obliged to send half way round the world for a largo share of them suggests that the farmers of this oountry have a great opportunity to put a large share of this sum into their own pookets and that the entire sum may be divided between our pro ducers and manufacturers. Importa tions of goatskins into the United Statos now amount to about $25,000, 000 per annum, and a large share o' these are brought from India, China, Arabia, and southeastern Kassia. The increasing popularity of certain class es of kid leather for footwear, as well for gloves, has greatly increased the demand fer goat-skins in ?he United States with recent years. In 1885 the value of goatskins imported was about $4,000,000; by 1890 it had grown to $6,000,000; by 1898 it was $15,000, 000; in 1900 it was $22,000,000, and in 1903, in round numbers, $25,000, 000. The fairers of the United States are apparently making no effort to reap any part of this golden harvest for themselves. The census of 1900 show ed the total number of goats in the United States to be less than 2,000,000 and when it-is understood that the skins of probably 20,000,000 goats were required to make the $25,000,000 worth imported last year, it oan be coon that the supply from the United States could have furnished but a small share of the total consumption. Yet .the fact that a large share of our supply of this important import comes from India, China, France and Mexi co, suggests that there are large areas in the United States which might pro duce goats suooessfully and in suffi ciently large numbers to supply the entire hoi?c demand.-Harper's Week **- _ Confederate Claims. Representative Johnson, of South Carolina, has occured from the War Department a mitigation of the con" ditionB originally imposed by the de partment precedent to the allowance of the claims of Confederate soldiers for side arms, horses and baggage taken from them in violation of the terms of their parole by Federal troops. There are thousands of these claims ranging in amount from $50 to $500, and Congress has appropriated $100, 000 for their payment. This sum is insufficient, but there seems to be no question that as much more as is need ed to pay all the olaims allowed will be forthcoming. The claimant waa originally required to show he was a confederate soldier; that he had been paroled; that the property waa his own, and to establish its value, and that it had been taken by union soldiers, acting under' the direct orders of officers. The first three of these conditions were not onerona or diffionlt of proof, bat to establish that the taking waa direoted by an officer was never easy, and some timea impossible. The department, at Repress rtative John o ou 'o in o tone e. has now &, 1? i>d to be content with the shewing iv.at tn officer waSfpresent wheu the property waB taken and conourred, at least tac itly, in .the act. With this concession Mr. Johnson hopes to seoure the al lowance of several hundred ?Uims of his constituents, who have placed the matter in his hands. As the ruling will, of course, be general in its appli cation, it will facilitate largely the al lowance of olaims of Confederate sol diers all over the country.-Washing ton Post.

He ia a fine story teller and some of the new ones he brought with him have already been grabbed off and credited to the old timers here, whioh ia. the very highest compliment that could be paid to a new member's capa bilities in that line. Here is one, for instance, that will doubt le sa soon appear as the latest from some old Illinois or 'Missouri cloak room entertainer, though Mr. Bowers-hos witnesses that ho told, it first. He wai o?fc hunting in the swamps with a friend of his, who. ia a unique character, with ready wit and dry hu mor- Joe P'fick by name. They were resting by a campfire and their dog, a typical southern 'possum dog of the, bound variety, was sleeping near by. Suddenly abc dog's tail began to wag, his lego moved spasmodically and he began to yelp in hit sleep. "Breamin' he's in dog heaven," quietly observed Joe Slack. "Wfcftik dog heaven, anyfiow?" Mr. Bowers inquired with a doubting emphasis. s * 'Ponds of po tli eke r an 2 lame rab bits,''promptly responded! Joe.

''Hero is the legend of thc visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solo mon," said the Pasoagoula Diogenes in the rotunda of the Great Southern Hotel Gulfport Sunday. "The Quoen reigned over a people that lived on tho border of the Ked Sea, who were tho i iahest in Arabis, They were repre sented leading an idle lifo, owing to the abundanoo of natural produoe of their oountry, whioh afforded tho sus tenance of life and also frankin cense, myrrh, cinnamon and balsam that gavo them an extensive oommerco with other nations. "Tho queen, owing to tho splendid reputation of King Solomon, whose power and wisdom had spread to the remotest parts of tho world, visited him at his own Court. 1'resenting herself at the foot of his throne, in each of her hands sho held a wreath of flowers-ono composed of natural the other of artificial. Art in the la bor of the mimio wreath had exquis itely omulated tho lively hues of na ture, so that at the distanoe it was held by the Queen to exercise the sa gaoity of the mooaroh for his judg ment it was deemed impossible for him to deoide whioh wreath was the production of nature and whioh the work of art. Solomon was for a mo ment perplexed, yet to be vanquished by a woman irritated his pride. "An expedient presented itself to the King by a swarm of bees on the ontnide of a window, whioh he ordered opened. The bees rushed into the Court and alighted on one of the wreaths, while not a single one fixed on the other. Sheba was baffled and was convinced cf the wisdom of Solo mon. Such is the story handed down that the bee only rests on the natural beauties and never fixes on tho paint ed flowers, however inimitable tho color may be laid on." Mystery of the Memory. The newspapers are telling of the re markable feat of a postal clerk who, in a oivil service examination, did not make a single error in properly assort ing 42,000 test postal cards, eaoh rep resenting a postoffioe in a certain ter ritory assigned, says American Medi cine. This was done at the rate of thirty-three and one-half cards a min ute. Far mere noteworthy is the memory of an expert piano player, who will play an entire season's oocoerts without a note of printed musio before him. His memory is so perfect that hundreds of thousands of notes must be at the orderly and instant disposal of the will. And this is combined with a multinlioity of synchronous rec - oleotions of tembre, tempo and expres sion, eto. The mystery is at present past the hinting of any explanation and the f aot is as boautiful as it is appalling. It shows us how far we are from any real soienoe of py o oh ology. Physioiaos note the strange thrusting of disease among the merohenisms of memory, oho morbid offsets of some neoplasm or injury to parts of the convolutions of the brain whereby some memories are lost temporarily or permanently, in part or completely, while others are unaffected. Even this leaves us in amazement at the inscrutable complex ity and methods cf thc cellular ma* ohine. But through these morbid injuries we csish tantalizing glimpses whioh some day, properly studied and followed up may bring some psycho* logio physician to an unraveling of the mystery. . Musn't Bead the Bible. Lincoln, Neb. November 20.-A peremptory writ of mandamus was is sued tqjlay from the Supreme Court, commanding the discontinuance of the reading of the Bible in the schools of Dio tri ot 21, Gage County. It was a test'case. Tho Court said that there is nothing in the law, Constitu tion or history of the people upon which to ground the claim that it is the duty of tho Government to teach religion. It is immaterial whether the objections of. a parent are unreas onable. The right to be unreasonable is guaranteed by the Constitution. , The trustees affected say that they will refuse to obey the mandate and will subject themselves to contempt of Court and its penalties before dis continuing the reading of the Bible.
