Macomb, miliary observer for the United States t- army with the Russians, who arrived recently at New Tork on -the Kaiser Wilhelm der Groese, was obliged on account of the strikes to travel from St Petersburg to London by steamer, says the New York World. Major Macomb was with the Rus. sian main movement throughout the war. "xne Russian is a great. wiuici, "C^ ' . Amenable to discipline," he said.

Many Abandoned Because Hew Knowledge Hakes Them Useless. Not as much as we nsed to, but occasionally even yet, one hears of some wonder accomplished by the ancients which cannot be done now. Not so many years ago it was quite commonly asserted that modern workmen could not quarry or, having quarried, could not handle stones as large as the monoliths of Egypt, and the writer has beard a public speaker of note assert that it would be impossible to handle with modern implements such large stones as were used in the pyramids or to join them as perfectly as they are joined there. Yet, when occasion arose, larger stones than any of the larger monoliths themselves were transported not only to the sea, but across it, and erected in England, France and America, and there are individuals today who might, if they chose, cause the transportation to and erection in this country of the largest pyramids or build new ones ten times larger and more durable. Pyramids are not being generally built nowadays because- they are not in line with the trend of modern ambition; that's all. It is very doubtful if a "Damascus blade" would stand half as severe usage as a modern band saw blade or even as much as the spring of a forty cent clock, while the ornamentations of those wondrous blades, so far as the mechanical execution is concerned, can be excelled by apprentices and amateurs of today. Of the "lost art" of hardening copper little is heard of late years, though one occasionally hears a wiseling from the wilds wish that he knew hoty to do it as well as the ancients, and while it is pefhaps regrettable that he doesn't his ignorance is his own fault. Many arts and devices have been abandoned because new knowledge has made them .useless, and time spent in rediscovering them would be worse than wasted. The modern youth had much better spend his time studying the art of his contemporaries than that which is "lost."?Scientific American. Apparently They Did. Friend?Did the lawyers get you confused?

"I heard Crabbe say he had never had such luck in his business as he's having now, btt I didn't understand whether it was good luck or bad." "Oh, he meant bad luck, of course! If it were good luck he wouldn't speak of it as 'luck' at all."?Philadelphia Ledger. /' He Didn't Travel. Warden?Now, we try to give our prisoners work of the kind they are accustomed to. Prisoner?That suits me. I was a traveling salesman.?Cleveland Leader. Most people when they buy experience don't get a bargain.?Somerville Journal. Proud of Them. "You've put too much baking powder in these biscuits," said Mr. Younglove. "I know it," said his wife gaily, "they don't taste good, but don't they look perfectly lovely?" The Art of Answering. Kentok Hori, the Japanese Buddhist rkHpflt. was attacking Mahometanism in V*~ > o Chicago. "The Mahometans," he said, "answer inquirers' questions with smooth lies. These lies are only on the surface plausible. The slightest reflection shows their tremendous falsity. "The Mahometans answer questions as I once heard a middle-iged man answer1 a boy. The two stood before a steamship office, regarding the globe that revolved in the | window. j " 'Do you mean to tell me,' said the I boy, 'that the world is as round as that?' " 'I do,' the man answered. "Then,' said the boy, 'I can't understand why the people on the other side don't fall off.' "The man sneered. " 'You fatigue me,' he said wearily. " 'Well, why is it?' the boy persisted. " 'Heaven,' the man answered, 'has given these people common sense, and ihey hold on.'" According to an exchange you may look for a good crop this year if there is any truth in the old prediction that a good crop year always follows a dark Christmas, and this was a Christmas in tlie dark of the moou. cut you win r.ave to work all the same, because the season won't make a crop without work. & A IVI b & CO J t 1 c a I * 2 S J a <2 1 ? ?. * ?i= I i Is S<S;s * Sj <u M 2 C 1* J c ? ^ < > ?
