Port land Journal. EARLY MAN FIGHTING ANIMAL Ancestors of Present People Went Called Upon to Face Beasts That Inhabited'Plains and Rivers. The first houses were caves. Early man wag a fighting animal, and had to contend against the huge and feroci ous beasts that Infested the plains and rivers, observes a writer. Ills dw elling naturally had to be a place of security as well as a habitation. Caves were natural and artificial, the latter being hollowed out of solid rock by rude flint Instruments. Most of thera were form ed la the sides of cliffs and among high, rugged hills. To those early ancestors of ours, th primeval men and women who secured, as one would think, but scanty shelter and protection from these stone caves and holes In the rock, we apply the generic term of cliff dwellers. They were entirely Ignorant of agri' culture, and subsisted by hunting and fishing and on the natural products they found growing In a wild state. L -AVhat Is very remarkable, at our very doors can still be seen the typical houses and handiwork of those pre-hls-torlc tribes In the caves of the Lancos river In southern Colorado. These, tn most Instances, are as well preserved as when their ancient occupants de serted thera perhaps 10,000 years ago. When Inhabited they were reach ed quite frequently by notches cut In the rock, and at other times rope lad ders must have been used. Gladstone Hard Worker. Gladstone was hard worker, with no dreads with regard to work, says the American Magazine. He turned from political responsi bilities of the heaviest to Greek for recreation, and Uved his four-score years and more, Just as Pope Leo XIII, turned to Latin poetry for his relaxation from world-wide burdens, and lived on beyond four-score and ten, living so hopefully that when, at the little dinner given him on his ninetieth birthday, one of the cardin nls said, tn proposing a toast to him, "Here's that you may live to be a hundred, holy father," the old pontlfl replied: "But why limit me to a hundred T" They were contemporaries of Itanke, the German historian, who at the age of ninety-one proposed to write his tory of the world In 12 volumes, one volume to be completed each year, and actually lived, I believe, to com plete nearly half of It. These men had no dreads; but they allowed their euerglea to work on. without any fear of exhaustiug their vitality. Almost the Speed Limit "At Chattanooga," said a veteran ot the Civil war, "one of the tneu lu my company left early In the action, and no one saw him till after the battle, when he apieared lu camp unwounded and unabashed. Some of the boys ac cused him of running away, but he wouldn't admit It. " 'I only retreated tn good orffer, he declared. "I heard of the matter, and a few days later I asked him If be bad any Idea how fast he had 'retreated.' "'Well, I'll tell you, cap'n.' he said 'If I had been at home, and going after the doctor, folks that se me passin' would have thought my wife was right sick I " Harper s Monthly .

Johnson PIDGIN LNGLIiH IS POPUUi; In China the Lingo la Used by Both Servants and Employers In 8peaking to Each Other. In China servants speak pidgin, or business, English to their employeis; and servants from different parts of China will use this weird language in speakiug to each other. The formation of the sentence is the same as lu Chi nese; the language Itself Is an extra ordinary mixture of English, Portu guese, French and Chinese. Some of the phrases, says Mrs. De Burgh Da'y In An Irishwoman In China, are very quaint and amusing. A bishop Is called "No. 1. top side Joss pidgin man." "Top side" means heaven, "joss," god, "pidgin," busi ness. There Is a story of two men who came to call ipon the king of Slnm when he was staying In Shanghai. They entered the hotel and asked the proprietor, a courteous American, if his tntijesty were at home. "Boy." called the proprietor, "one piecee king have got?" "Have got. sir," repilea tne Doy cheerfully. "His majesty Is at home, gentle men," translated the proprietor. rtnidiv mi v Mrs. Dal v. a laree par ty assembled on a steamer to bid fare well to homeward-bound friends, w isn- lr,cr tn mal-o vrtflln thllt the StOfUIHT should not carry us oft. we Informed the steward In excellent Mandarin that he was to come and wsrn us of her departure.

"All right, sir; my savvee." Servants quickly find out our likes and dislikes in food, and act accord IneW. A friend of mine was fond of snipe, and often ordered them for din ner. One evening, when fin unexpected etifst arrived, she told J'.oy that since there were not enough sr'ne she would not eat one. Presently Boy nudged her and remarked tn a loud whisper: "Mlssee can have snipe; one piecee man no chow I" BESSEMER IRON AND STEEL Original Process Involved Decarboniza tlon, or Burning Out of Excess Carbon, by Blowing Air. nenry Bessemer, who Invented the method named for him In the manufac ture of Iron and steel, which revolu tionized the industry, was granted a patent by the British government on October 17, 1S.V). This was the first patent given him, notes an exchange. Additional patents were taken out In the following IVeeniber and February, covering Improvements. Bessemer's original process Involved decarboulza tlon, or the burniug out of the excess carbon, by blowing air through pig Iron. This revolutionary invention was due Indirectly to the Crimean war. Bessemer undertook to invent an Ira proved cannon, but found all available metals too weak fer the gun he sought to make. He then began experiments lu steel making, with the ultimate re sult of the production of "Bessemer steeL" His Invention won for him fume and fortune and the honor of kntght h.Hk Sir Henry Bessemer was born in England, but was of French Hugue not descent. Since his pioneer inven tion, the process of converting Iron In to steel has been vastly Improved. That Bora cf a Fond Parent Of course, you bsve a bright young ster who says and does amusing tilings, asserts a writer. But all children do. Your child has not a monopoly. If vim wtah t th 8c 25c fls fi Collins worst or bores, continue your constant eulogy of all that your child says or does. If, for Instance, some other child said or did what your boy or girl does, would you think it so excruclatlnglj funny t Every bright, healthy, Intelligent child Is delightful In the unfolding. To each fond father and mother the particular angles of understanding, as they come to light, are most interest ing. But the youngster is chiefly interest ing to yourself. You see traits and characteristics In the light of what you know you are yourself. That Is what makes it sound so funny. How about the mean little tricks that your own child has and that you cannot get away from? They all have them, too. Do you tell these thingsl No. Then your wonderful tales are mere ly another form of braggadocio. How about HI Everything In Its Place. Mrs. H. had Just employed a new maid, fresh from the old country. She asked the girl to take the baby out In the baby carriage. Gunhllde was de lighted. She had never seen a baby before and from her articulate Joy on might think that she had waited for this moment all her life. Mrs. H. was pleased to see that the girl wasso will ing. The baby was wrapped up and 3iey started. Two minutes later Mrs. H. looked out of the window and her face froze with horror. Instead of rolling gently down the sidewalk the way a baby should her child was beiny piloted majestically down the mlddlt of the street In the midst of automo biles and delivery wagons. From Gun hllde'i expression one could see that she krifcw that her carriage was better than aay coach on the avenue. j MIX DOUGH WITH SEA WATEB Wider Adootlon of the Practice Is Rec ommended by French Naval Phar macist, Health Advantages. It has long been a custom in certain parts of France to make up the doughj for bread with sen-water Instead ofi using, as Is customary, fresh water, with the addition of salt required to make bread both healthful and appe tizing, says the Literary Digest. M. Abert Saint Sernln, a French naval pharmacist of the first class, urges tho wider adoption of the practice, wb' h has, according to him, several advan tages; the bread keeps moist loiif.vr, owing to the affinity for water pos sessed by the magnesium chloride son water contains; It Is very wholt-soine, since it provides not only the chlorMea of sodium and magnesium, but ot! mineral substances which the body can! make use of. The water muRt be collected at suitable distance from land and shou' be taken from a depth of six or sev.-n yards If possible. The yeast must le prepared with fresh water and the snlt water used for mixing the dough. Tbu Trench writer adds : "Bread made with sea water, us,-'uf for everybody, is to be recommended especially for growing children, for convalescents, and for all those who need to repair the wastes due to fev.t or to hard labor."
