Strangers and acquaintances hailed
him to tell him of the mark on his

children laughed and pointed at him,
and his wife annoyed him with ques

told him ho was a fool. The usually
amiable man grew surly and morose
he shunned mon, women and children
and frequented bock streets. Before
tbe week was up the tailor found him
self embroiled in a quarrel with his
best friend, his wife had threatened to
leave his house and he considered him
self miserable and 111 used.
Finally, one night he took off his
coat and rubbed out the chalk mark
and said: "Thorel I would not wear

YANKEE SETTLEMENT.
A Bit of its Earlys Hitory by Rev.
N- W. Bixby.
From tbe page of memory, "Time's
indefatigable fingers write men's
actions of their souls In lines which not
himself can blot."
When I came to Yankee Settlement
(now Edgewood) July 4, 1847, there
were about fifteen families from Jona
than Noble's to Edwin Steele's. 1
arrived with Mrs. Bixby on Saturday
and we were hospitably entertained at
the home of Schuyler Peet.
Sunday 1 was Invited to preach to
the people. When I arrived at the
place of the meeting, the people were
engaged in Sunday School. Tbe build
ing was used as a school house. It was
made of hewn logB, with a puncheon
iloor and shake roof. Tbe seats were
made of logs spilt In halves and legs
put in. A school was kept during the
week days by Miss Charlotte Mulliken.
I am told that the first permanent
settlers were the late Daniel B. Noble
and Lorenzo Mulliken. They came in
1842, and kept bachelors' hall till 1844,
when Roderick Nelson Steele camejwith
his family. Mrs. Steele, being the first
was really the best woman in the settle
ment. And she holds her goodness
pretty well, though now at a good old
age, and has been an invalid for a num
ber of years.
Lorenzo Mulliken died. Albert
Noble went to Colesburg, a distance of
ten or twelve miles through the woods,
for Rev. Turner to preach the funeral
sermon. The funeral was to be tbe
same day. Mr. Turner was a new ar
rival and said he did not know the
way as there was no road. Albert
said, "I will take your horse and leave
mine for you, and my old black horse
will fetch you through the woods all
right."
It was not long before others began
to make their homeB here. Cornelius
T. Feet was an early arrival, and soon
Isaac Preston and Francis C. Madison.
We had to send to Dubuque to mall
our letters, even after I came, but soon
there was a post office established here.
Mrs. Daniel Noble was the agent, and
if I mistake not Bohan Noble was the
principal. I had tbe honor of carrying
the mail to Colesburg one day, and re

Job That Oceapltd Impeooal
ou Artlat About a Week.
"I have Just finished shaving a dead
man," Bald a local artist "The Job oc
cupied me about a week and"— "Good
heavens!" ejaculate a horrified friend,
"what d'ye mean?" "Don't bo alarm
ed," replied the artist calmly. "The
operation waa not as repulsive as you
may Imagine. In fact I performed It
with a brush. You see, a certain family
of my acquaintance have a large oil
painting of the head of the house, who
departed from this vale of tears some
time In the early eighties. At the time
tho portrait was made he wore a full
beard, which was contrary to his usual
custom, and the family, who remember
him best with a smooth face, have
been anxious ever since to get off the
whiskers. I was engaged to shave the
portrait, and hard times and approach
ing rent day persuaded me to accept
the commission, which, needless to say,
was highly antipathetic to my artistic
Instincts.
"I had to depend entirely on the recol
lection of the family for my data, and
I found, to my alarm, that each mem
ber had retained a different Impression
of the old gentleman's chin. One claim
ed It was double and another Insisted
that It was sharp and clean cut a
daughter described It as 'square and
determined,' and the widow assured
me privately that It was shaped like
the prow of au armored cruiser. Alto
gether I found myself In a deuce of a
fix. It was no trouble to take off the
whiskers I did that In three fell
swoops but when 1 blocked out the
Jaw experimentally and called in tbe
crowd for suggestions, there was a
grand chorus of protest. Strange to
say, I pleased nobody, and I have been
correcting, amending, remodeling and
doing It all over agnln ever since. One
point of dispute was tbe location of a
wart which half the family said was
on the left and half on the right I
finally effected a compromise by paint
ing In two warts, one ou each side. 1
got my foe all right, but before I take
anotber tonsorlal job I'll go to driving
a trolley car."—New Orleans Times

Ebony.
Ebony wns known and highly eti
teemort by the ancient* HH an article of
luxury uml was used by them for it
variety of purposun.
1
In India it Is said that It was em*
ployed by kings for scepters and alat
for Images. On account of its suj
posed antagonism to poisons, it was
used largely for drinking oups.
Tbe name ebony is given to the wood
of several varieties of trees. All kinds
of ebony are distinguished for their
great density and dark color. The
wood In all varieties ft heavier than
water. The heaviest varieties are tbe
darkest. The other grades require a
considerable amount of staining to
make them black.
Ebony is of a uniform color through
out and will not show any deteriora
tion even from long continued use.
There are three varieties of ebony
well known In commerce. The ebony
from the Gaboon coast of Afrlea Is the
darkest. The Madagascar ebony Is the
densest. The Macassar ebony furnish*
es the largest pieces. It Is sold by
weight.
Imitations of ebony can always be
distinguished by their lighter weight,
and the cheaper imitations can be de
tected by merely scratching the sur
face.—Jewelers' Weekly.
A Mexlcaa Gambler,
Don Felipe Martel, the famous gam
bling house proprietor of the City of
Mexico, had made a fortune In the
business before tbe government decid
ed to abolish gambling bouses by levy
ing on tbem a license tax of $1,000 a
day. One by one the gambling houses
closed, and when the field was clear
Don Felipe Martel approached the au
thorities with (1,000 In cash %nd de
manded a day's license. In a few
hours his place was thronged. At a
single stroke he bad won the patronage
of Mexico, and bis doors have never
been closed since. The dally outlay of
(1,000 Is not missed from the dally
revenue of thousands. His strong re
ligious tendencies are so well known
that nobody was surprised when no
built In the village of San Angel a
church that cost more than (00,000.
Tbe poor people of the vicinity, and
many of the rich as well, have coine to
regard blm as a sort of fairy prince.
His own style of living encourages this
belief. The Martel mansion In the
City of Mexico is a magnificent affair,
constantly filled with guests. A curi
ous feature is that It contains 40 win
dows—the number of cards In the Mex
ican deck.
WM
Too Heavy to Carrf,
There Is a story of an envious tailor
current with the French peasantry. He
fancied that his neighbor, who receiv
ed a pension for the loss of an arm In
curred while fighting for his country,
was better off than himself. Both men
went to pay their rent on the same
day.
"That's a lucky man," said tbe tailor
to the landlord. "He gets well paid for
bis arm."
"But who would be willing to part
wtth on arm, even If be were paid for
ItT" said the landlord.
1
would," declared the tailor.
"Tour* cried the landlord. "Why,
man, you wouldn't be willing to bear
anything of the sort, no matter how
much you were paid for It"
"I wish some one would try mew"
"Now, see here," said tbe landlord.
Who had studied human nature, "I'll
tell you what. If you'll wear even so
much as a chalk mark on your back
IH remit your rent as long as you
wear It on your coat so It can be seen,
the condition being that you tell no one
why It Is there."
"Agreed," said the tailor eagerly.
"That's an easy way to pay rent!"
Enormous Pendnlams,
The only structures In Japan which
seem to be earthquake proof are ths
pagodas, which are erected before the
temples. There are many which are
700 or 800 years old and as solid as
when first built
There Is a reason for this and it lies
In their construction. A pagoda Is prac
tically a framework of heavy timbers,
which starts from a wide base, and Is
in Itself a substantial structure, but is
rendered still more stable by a peculiar
device. InBlde the framework and sus
pended from tbe apex Is a long, heavy
beam of timber two feet thick or more.
This hangs from one end of the four
sides four more heavy timbers, and If
the pagoda be very lofty still more tim
bers, are added to these. The whole
forms an enormous pendulum, which
reaches within six Inches of tha
ground.
When the shock of an earthquake
rocks the pagoda, the pendulum swings
In unison and keeps the center of grav
ity always at the base of the frame
work. Consequently the equilibrium of
the pagoda Is never disturbed, and this
Is the explanation of the great age of
many of them, when from their height
one would suppose them to be peculiar
ly susceptible to the effects of the
earthquake.

When a boy at school, the late III.
Spurgeon took a prominent part In an

One cold day, however, the teacher
noticed that he was so very backward
that be remained the whole time at
the bottom of tbe class.
This went on for some time and puz
iled tbe teacher until he noticed that
the fire was near the bottom of the
class. He Immediately changed ths
class about, making tbe bottom ths

Be then had the satisfaction of hear
