-FRANKLY OWNED HIS FAULT. Tlneident of Becent Occurrence Illus trating French Army Discipline A Grenadier's Offense. Although there haa been complaint tr! late about a growing lack of disci pline in the ranks of ine French array, .the demoralization ha-s uot, 1; is be lieved, progressed seriously, as Ut" ,ollowing Incidents, coming from u French naval port, will illustrate: A general holding a high command made his appearance a few days ago at the barracks of an infantry regi ment, which, in obedience to his or ders, was promptly drawn up in the yard. Then he explained the reason in a brief address. He said that as he was walking in the town attired in mufti on the previous day a man belonging to the corps, who was the worse for liquor, accosted him rudely and asked him to stand him a drink. "Let him step out of the ranks," be concluded. Immediately a bugler emerged, and. saluting, raid: "It Is I. mon general." The incident is characteristic and apropos of it one is reminded of such ,-ui adventure which befell a certain French marshal. A grenadier, who was exasperated at some injustice that had been done fi'im, pointed his pis tol at him and pulled the trigger, but it did not go on. Without moving a muscle, the veteran cried: "Four days In the cells for keplns your arms In a bad state." The bugler's honesty can scarcely have failed to be an ex tenuation of bis offense in the eyes of the general. DANCERS OF CIVILIZATION. Bashful Young Man Has a Streak of Hard Luck at His Best Girl's Horn. I A young man from Silver Lake called to spend the evening with a L'astle Rock fehl the other night, says he Castle Reck (Ore.)

He thought it was his .Lirt ami in his nervous excitement while dressing he had forgotten to put the garment inside his trousers. There was no time to lose. He hurriedly tuf?ed the supposed shirt inside his trousers. Two minutes later when the 'amily arose from the table there was a . crash. The dishes lay in a broken mass jn the floor. The young man pulled irce feet of the tablecloth out of his pants and fled through the door. He is now hiding and the girl is looking for a less bashful lover. MA ICING PRECIOUS STONES. Chips of the Baby Turned Into Stones of Commercial Sire Are Pro nounced Genuine. Rudolph Obiatt, a chemist and ex pert on precious stones, is reported to nave invented a process for the fusing af particles of ruby, known as ruby waste, into stones of a commercial size. The stones which he has pro duced have received considerable at tention from local geologists and are pronounced genuine. He selects, says :he New York Commercial, from the small, rough, genuine ruby particles whose colors and qualities are prac tically the same. One chip he places rpon the top of a U-shaped platinum ube. He then applies the heat, which a concentrated by a special process ,-aid forced upon the ruby with in air pressure of 800 pounds. As the chip la melted he adds other chips until he has buiit up a genuine ruby whose weight varies from Ave to ten carats. The operation requires from one to two hours. After the ruby has been produced a Jifflcult task remains that of cooling zi the 6tcne, which i3 at a tremendous heat. This is accomplished by a sci tic rr.vi vlslc! prevent crac':lR3 i r e ruby is seat to the precious-stone tiers, where it passes exactly tf.roug-h the same process as a stone iroai the Lurraai mines. Artificial Eyelids. The latest surgical triumph is the grafting of a new kt of upper and lower eyelids to the eyes of a nan who lost his original set in a fire, says London Science Sifting. The ac cident bad left both eyeballs entirely unprotected, and there was danger of the victim losing his sight entirely. It was resolved to replace them by grafting four new eyelids if possible, by taking the skin from the hip of the patient. It was necessary to pro ceed slowly, but the experiment was iuccessful from the start. Tbe four aew eyelids perform their normal .'unctions naturally. Heppner Gaxetta Weekljr Oregon! VALUABLE QUARRIES Marble Beds of Vermont Source of Untold Riches. Almost Eqaa.1 to the Fua! Pro4ot of Italy Tko First QMrrjr If mm Oyeud ! the Colomlal Day. The early settlers of New England did not know what a mistake they made when they called the mountains of New Hampshire White, and those of Vermont Green. It is true the beau tiful color of the verdure which covers the Vermont peaks seems to give them an appropriate name, but in places where the top has been scraped off masses of marble have been found which are almost equal to the famed products of Italy, says the New York Tribune. The story goes that one of these deposits, worth literally millions of dollars, was traded by the man who owned it in the early days of the state, for a mule, rn that he could move his household goods into a country where the soil was richer. From this "stone farm" hive come monuments and stat uary T'hirh can be seen in all parts of the United States. It was In the colonial days that the first Vermont marble quarry was orened In the little town of Dorset, but, like some of the other great re sources of New England, the extent of the marble beds was not realized until about 25 years ago Since then, how ever, the industry has advanced so rap idly that within the last ten years the capital invested in it, as well as the production, has increased over 50 per cent. At present over $3,000,000 worth of marble is being: taken nut yearly by the 3,000 men employed in the quarries, while nearly 4.0C0 others are busily engaged with chisel and mallet or pow er too! in cutting It into various forms for adornment and use. While the mar ble embraces a variety of hues, from deep black to the purest white, the bulk of it is of an exceeding fine grain, and bo durable that it is being used for public buildings and edifices throughout the country, as well a3 for mere ornamentation. In the vicinity of Rutland and Proc tor one can look into holes in the mountain Bide actually large enough to accommodate the biggest office build ing in New York city, for some of them are over 300 feet in depth and nearly half a mile in length, yet the walls are principally composed of solid marble, although the blocks have been cut out bo regularly that they appear to be built up like the palaces of the Greeks and Romans. Even at this depth, how ever, the beds continue downward as far as the drill point ha? yet. nlercrd, and only a few openings have thus far been made. Such is the abundance of the material that it is seldom extracted at a depth below 3v fcpt. owing to the distance it must be hoisted from its bed, but the most modern machinery is used for cutting and hauling it ma chines which will do the work of a hundred men. Marble Is too valuable to be blown out with explosives, so what are called channeling machines are used, which, operated by electricity and compressed air, cut out blocks from the wall3 of white, some of which are 20 feet in length and eight feet in thickness. The machine is composed of a set of powerful drills which bore holes from six to eight inches s,prt in the blocks. Thus weakened, the block is detached from the wall by wedge3. Perhaps at the very mouth of the opening from which the marble was taken a hundred men and boys are fashioning it into various forms. Some of these artisans have also become ex- nar aiilntrtrfl SPREAD OF SUPERSTITION. Weird Belief Are Rapidly Gaining Ground in Males. Some say in Wales that if a mare's shoe is nailed to the lintel of the door, no witch can ever enter the house, an that if one of them happens to g-o hit a neighbor's house a broom place! across the threshold by a member o.r the family will prevent her leaving. Somebody ha3 said that two stiaw laid crosswise on the threshold iviii serve the purpose quite effectually. A neighbor's wife heard one of the'?; mumbling .something to her?elf, am! believed that she was saying the LonlV Triiyer backward. Somebody has a!f? said that they can all bo sent aft?! Pharaoh and his chariots into the depth' of the lied sea, if recourse be hnd to sir expert, but that the latter must lr skilled in arithmetic, algebra, Hebrew. Greek, Latin, and all the original (gwreiddiol) tongues before he eav. compass this mighty feat. The belief in these things is rapidly gaining ground nowadays, according to the author of Keminiscenes in Cymra. It has already crossed the new bridge at Cilgwyn Mill, and has crept up from Carn Ingli, past Morfa, along the sea shore as far as Llechy-drybedd. It i--also making its way eastward, having by this time almost reached that fa mous old stone called "Arthur's Quoits," and, if its progress is not checked, it will soon arrive at the Reren office in Carmarthan, then on to the Diwygiwr (Llanelly), thence to th Gwron (Ab erdare.) and Seren Corner ej that ere long they will all be full of witches and their works. ' Collecting These Souvenirs of Foreign I Travel Is Popular Some Beau tiful Specimens Issued. To collect hotel folders is the latest fad. Almost all of the big hotels of Europe issue booklets uot only describing the charms of their s61ons and verandas, but giv ing many a curious picture and quaint legend of some historic scene near by. The pictures are oftentimes close likenesses to etchings, and not a few are col ored, so that on being framed un der glass they appear from the wall to be water color paintings, says the New York Tribune. The collecting of hotel folders seems to have all the fascination which many another fad was wont to have before it became worn out. Instead of gathering together the post .vi' stamps of various na tions, or theater programmes, or restaurant menus, many a "col lector" is now filling his scrap book with pictures of the pleasure palaces of England and the con tinent. The booklets, which are sent out gratuitously by European hotels to anyone who writes for them, are sometimes as elaborate as art magazines. Hotels in Italy and Switzerland, for example, are likely to illustrate their folders with pictures of Italian lakes and bits of Alpine mountain scenery. The lake pictures are to attract those fond of water, and the pic tures of the peaks and gorges ar designed to tempt mountain climbers. Certain hotels of France, Belgium, Holland, Ger many, Austria and Hungary have a way of weaving logemls among more staid p o -rnphical data. For example, a tble of statistic concerning railroad rates and time tables will follow a story of some brave crusader and his sweetheart, who became a nun ere his return. The ancient fnble will be made more real by pictures of a crumbling tower where the lov ers first met, or a ruined window where they bade each other a last farewell. Hotels in Great Britain reflect much of the life of city or county , in their folders. A hoime will fur nish along with pictures of its own corridors and apartments sketch es of famous buildings- in thr neighborhood, or, perchance, the portrait of a famous man who was born near the corner. Although these booklets cost the hotels no small sum each year to publish and send out broadcast yet the "bread cast on the waters'1 is returned after many days to a great enough degree to brinr pro fit. Even if the collector of hoto folders does r.ot go to all the ho tels himself which are represented in his collection, yet he show hi prizes to others, who tell still oth ers about them, so that many a traveler who might have landeci aimlessly in some faraway Eu ropean city instead goes straight to a certain inn, because "some how he remembered its name." an la Hd of GmpUrnal Refused Jeb Mmrmm with tbe Un- eanploredU A London preacher bad an interest ing experience not long svgo with a hun gry man. The mendicant explained that he had found it absolutely impos sible to get work. He had applied ev erywhere, always to be turned away, and at las, nothing remained for him but to beg from door to door for the food that was necessary to keep life in his body. The clergyman's heart was filled with pity. The poor man teemed to b honest, and after being furnished with a good meal he was asked where a mes sage would r ach him. He gave an ad dress and wi-r,taaj. Then the preacher sat down to think the matter oer. He knew of no work that he could find for the man, but he decided o intent a job. Accordingly the next day the preach er sent a message to the luckless man, saying: "Come at once. I have a position for you. We need a man to clean our school house and keep it in order." He received an immediate reply as follows: "Sorry I can't come. I have to march with the unemployed to-day Would to-morrow do?" A. reoognlsea authority Toe WeeUj Oregonlaa.
