been called because of its remarkable
beauty and surpassing fortuity, is an 1b
land of an area almost cqunl to that of
Texas and 18 times as great as that of
Holland. Its longth Is 1,047 miles, and ns
It Is bisected by the equator almost exactly
half way between its northern and south'
ern extremities, it Is distinctively a trop
ical land. It is separated from the Malay
peninsula by a narrow struit nnd from
Java by a still narrower one. Llko this
more famous island, it ubounds in volca
noes, several of which are mora or less no
tlvo, and whon Java received tho awful
volcanic, and seismic visitation known
in tho records as tho Krnkatoa outburst
Sumatra suffered with her Island neighbor.
Mr. Weber, who is a native of Switzer
land, has already left America, but it will
bo somo timo before he reaches Sumatra.
From New York he went to Lcydcn, where
he proposes to remain for a month or so
examining Sumutran specimens In tho ex
cellent museum there. When ho has suffi
ciently fortified himself with the knowl
edge ho can obtain at Leyduu, hn will go
dlroet to Sumatra, via tho Suez canal,
Coylon and Singapore. As soon as ho lands
upon Sumatran soil he will engage a force
of natives, to whom he will delegate the
hunting, Ashing and trapping that aro
necessary parts of the expedition's work
This plan will leave him free to devote
most of his own timo to tho classification
of Mi r;i. clniens and their preparation for
Siilpiiiunt to Ai.ierlea.
It Is stated of both the animal and vege
table life of Sumatra that It is not only
extremely luxuriant, hut very characters
tie as well. Thut Is to say, the types there
found aro many of them unliko those thut
are Indigenous anywhere else out hucurfnoa

argued from this that tho separation of

taken plnoe at a very remote period Ot her-
wise thcro would not linvo beon siilllclont

ly distinct types.
A short time before ho snllcd awav Mr.

the expedition and the characteristics of
Java. It contains a larger variety of
monkeys than aro to bo found In any other

than are to be met with elsewhere. There
are very many varieties of animals of cx
traonllnary size. The pachydermata

sented, including a distinct variety of elo-
phants. Tho rhinoceros of Sumatra Is
also peculiar, though not unique, from the
lact that It Is furnished with two horns.

that of Java, which it would bo supposed
to more nearly resemble. Although the

There are alligators and other areut shell-

Far more interesting and important
than any of these, however, aro the hu
mans of Sumatra. There is Dot space to
speak of the various races, many of them
of evident Malay origin, nor of their cu
rious customs and speech, both spoken and

to be without tails, to walk upright Inva

Mortality Bates aa Affected by the Various
Occupations.
I.lfo Insurance experts and those Interest
ed in mortality statistics generally employ
In their business a self explanatory term
known as "tho expectation of life." Under
this beading experience has furnished val
uable tables, by means of which the proba
bility of tho duration of different lives is
reduced to a practically accurate basis a
basis rendered doubly reliablo by reason of
tho fact that the results are based upon
many independent sets of observations ob
tained from widely different sources. The
similarity of the statistics thus obtained is
remarkable.
Charles Stevenson, a well known actuary
of Edinburgh, has contributed to the "ex
pectation of life" tables information on this
subject in the shape of a little paper on
"The Effect of Employment on Life and
Health," in which many curious facts are
presented concerning the relation of occupa
tions to mortality rules.
1 he largest mortality rate In the Indoor
occupations considered is found among
liquor sellers, a fact which explains the re
luctance of life insurance companies to
write insurance on that class of risks. Mr.
Stevenson finds the average mortality
among 1,000 liquor sellers to bo 29.3, increas
ing from 12.U between the ages ot 20 and 29
to 102.8 from age of TO upward. He divides
the liquor sellers into three classes licensed
grocers, hotel keepers and barkeepers and
shows the respective mortality rates to be,
from 25 years of age upward, 18.11, 26.8 and
83.4 respectively, which shows that the life
risk of the average barkeeper is an exceed
ingly hazardous quantity.
Among 1,000 gardeners the death rate is
found to bo 10.0; carpenters, 13.4; shoemak
ers, 13.4; stonemasons, 10.8: butchers, 17.8,
and innkeepers, 21.4. This agrees precisely
with the information collected by Ameri
can life insurance companies, which shows
the butcher to be a hazardous risk, second
only to the innkeeper and saloon keeper.
The most curious facts resulting from
this investigation are those concerning the
death rate among the clergy, a class which
the author has divided Into three sections
namely, Church of Englund clergy, Non
conformist clergy and Roman Cathollo
clergy. One thousand cases investigated
in each ot these sections shows tho death
rate to be lowest in the Church ot Knglund
clergy, where tho average Is 10.2, and high
est In the Roman Catholic clergy, where
the average Is 15.7. These figures suggest
an interesting contribution to the study of
celibacy in its relation to the mortality rate.
The value ot outdoor exercise, with
abundanco of fresh air and clear conscience,
is amply set forth In a comprehensive table
showing tho number per 100 of the various
occupations that attain the age of 70 or
more. Again the clergy tops the list, with
43 out of 100 who attain tho age of 70, while
the farmers come next with 40 and the
other occupations in the following order:
Commercial men (drummers), 85; military
men, 83; lawyers, 20; artists, 28; teachers,
27, and physicians, 24.
The apparently anomalous feature ot

from a layman's point of view, in reality

warlike brothers of tho sciences and arts.
This favorable position of the military man,
considered from a life insurance standpoint,
has come to be recognized in recent years
to such an extent that one ot the largest
life companies has recently waived all re
strictions in the matter of military risks,

Stampeding Oxen,
"Many people who have been much on
the plains in the auterullroad days have
seen stampedes of mules and homes," re
marked L. T. Otero of Santo Fe to a group
of friends at the Laclede, "but by far the
worst stampede is thut of terrified oxen.
When they are loose they will. If friuht-
ened, run over a precipice If it comes In
their way, but if stampeded when hitched
to wagons very few will escape. Once whon
on the Cimarron one of my ox teams be
came frightened, what at I never knew.
The six oxen started oil at breakneck sneed.
and the contagion was imparted to two
other oxen.
"The men tried to stop them, but they
might ns well have tried to check a moun
tain torrent. The oxen went on right across
tho country, with the heavy wagons rat
tling at their heels, and ran until nearly
half of them fell dead from exhaustion. I
used to think tout a blooded horse was the
only animal that would run itself to death,
but alter my experience I learned that it
was no uncommon thing for a frightened
ox to do." St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

An Cleetrle Chisel.
Mr. Carstarphen, of Denver, has brought
out an li",'i'iiious reciprocating electrical
chisel for the use of sculptors. The handle
has a double solenoid and a switch, the
core being attached to the chisel itself. A
reciprocating motion is thus obtained, so
that the operator merely guides the tool.

The bat Is simply a variation of and no

been made because some noted paiutings of
Scriptural and oriental life do not depict
the headdresses of the mules. This is most
noticeable in paintings of ancient Syrian
life, for no doubt the Syrians wore then,
as now, a turban, thick, light and colorless,
to protect them from the burning sun.

The tide was unusually late that morn
ing. I buto bathing on a falling tide, par
ticularly nt Boulogne; but as everybody
was beginning to clear out from the sands
It must have been past 13. I do not think
there were more than 50 people in the woter,
and In the little wooden oflice the young
woman who handed me my complete cos
tume, as it is called, my two towels and a
ticket for the bathing machine, ana took
my 1 frtfno 60 centimes in exchange, re
marked that it was very late. I jumped
Into the first machine which stood at the
edge of the surf. There was no necessity to
order it to be dragged further out, for the
tide rises so very rapidly at Boulogne.
By tho time I had undressed and method
ically folded my clothes and placed my
watch in one of my boots and my purso In
the other for I am a very careful man,
and like to provide against possible con
tingenciesthe water was nt least a couple
of feet deep at tho foot of the steps ot my
machine. I stepped down into the sea, ex
panded my magnificent chest, strode out
Into the deep water at once and com
menced to swim. I swim particularly well
that's one of the reasons I hate bathing
late, because there is no gallery to applaud
my performance. I am always perfectly
at ease in the water. In sea water I can go
on swimming without Inconvenience for
several hours, nnd I nlways get consider
ably more than my one franc fifty's worth
out of the Etablissement des Bains.
Like tho swan of the nursery rhyme, I
had swum out to sea, and then, also like
the swan, proceeded to swim back aguin.
And then I saw a Venus Anadyomeue In
pink and white. Don't be alarmed, reader.
I don't mean that she was like Hans Breit
mann's "maiden mit nodlngs on," for she
wore a delicious bathing costume of pink
and white stripes, and her pretty head was
surmounted by a little Tyrolese straw hut,
which contained the magnificent wealth of
her raven hair. You may naturally ask,
how did I know thut she had a magnificent
wealth of raven lialrf X don't mind con
fessing that I had met the lady before.
Where? Well, at the Casino at the Cercle
des Plougeiirs, on several occasions even, I
bad had the pleasure ot sitting next her,
and 1 had admired her pluck, for she
planked down her napoleons aye, nnd lost
them, too with a dignity worthy of a
Cleopatra.
What arms she lmfl What nmi;iiftomt,
delicious, plump white anus, and how well
she swam tool Of course I shouldn't have
done it if we'd been on shore, but here were
two people of congenial tastes who had met
before, mind you, und it would have been
absolutely rude if I hadn't acknowledged
her presence in some way or other.
"Bon jour, madam," I said.
She returned my salutation, and then she
added In English, "You will not think me
indiscreet, monsieur, if I ask you to keep
near me, for I begin to huve fear," and her
great black eyes looked at me with a sort
of piteous entreaty.
"Is your strength failing you at all, mad
imiBt" I man! anvioualv. "It is nenrlv a
quarter 01 u nine oeiure we can get into Our
depth."
"Monsieur is strong and brave," she re
plied. "His presence renders tear Impos
sible," "If modnme will kindly place one hand
upon my neck," I said, "and go on swim
ming with the other hand, we shall be able
to get on perfectly well, I think."
"And the convenances?" Bnid the lady,
and there was a twinkle of fun in the lovely
black eyes. way, we haven t even been
introduced."
But she put her hand upon my neck all
the same. A sort of clectrio thrill passed
through my frame, and I went on swim
ming strongly, but perhaps a little more
slowly, tor 1 don t uiitid confessing that I
rather liked the situation than otherwise,
and that I was iu no particular hurry to
reach the shore.
"I shall never forget the kindness of mon
sieur," said tho lady. "I don't miud telling
you that 1 had already begun to fear that
the breakfast which I have ordered at the
Casino would never be served to me."
"I, too, am brenkfusting at the Casino,"
I suid. "Would it be an impertineuce,
madam e, if I suggested that we celebrate
this morning's adventure by breakfasting
together?"
"There is no favor that I could refuse
monsieur," Bald the lady softly, "since he
has saved my life. '
And then in a few moments my foot
struck the hard sand. We walked hand In
hand together for some yards through tho
water, and then she flung herself into my
arms, kissed 1110 upon the cheek iu a pas
sion of enthusiasm and gratitude, and sob
bing upon my shoulder she thanked me
again for saving her life.
How I wished that it bnd only been a
couple of hours earlier, when the sands
would have been crowded by 2,000 or 8,000
untucrsl JUy heart beat wildly in this ma
ment of my triumph, but alas! there was
no one to observe my heroic deed no one
except tho bathing men. A lady can't
stand sobbing and resting her head upou a
gentleman's shoulder forever.
"Give me your arm, monsieur," she suid.
"I tremble. My machine is No. 03."
I did as I was bid, and again the pressure
of the plump little hand sent un ecstatic
thrill through my heart. We reached ma
chine No. 03.
"Au revoir, niadamc." I said, and I has
tened to find my own dressing room on
Wheels.
"Pur ieil" shouted one of the bathing
men, liuucuting the one numbered 184.
But 1W was not tho machine I had left
and I told the fellow so.
"Monsieur deceives himself," said the
man, with a shrug of his shoulders; "he is
the last of tho bathers."
I expostulated. I raged, I stormed, but
all in vain. Tho man only went on shrug
ging his shoulders ami itointing to the ma
chine. lhad to enter R. Thank heaven, there
was a suit of clothes! WUt wus I to do?
I couldn't go and make an official com
plaint clad only in my tightly fitting com
bination suit of blue nnd white, sol ruhbuu
myself dry, and put on the clothes as rap
idly as possible. They fitted me fairly
enough, fortunately, but they were dreauV
ful clothes a tweed suit of a particularly
largo ana vulgar pattern, a brown billy
cock hat, a peculiarly high collar, a blue
silk necktie, with yellow footballs on it
And then I hastily searched the pockets a
clay pipe, a plug of tobacco, 15 francs, and
the return half of un excursion ticket from
London, available for three days, by the
Ueueral Steam Navigation company's boot.
A cold crspir.ition broke out uiwn my
face. Here was a horrible position. I was
to entertain the lady whose life I had saved
at breakfast at the Casino upon 15 franca.
My luggage and even my handbag were
on board the Folkestone mailboat, and 1
was practically penniless, for I had paid mj
hotel bill that morning, registered my lug
gage for Ixmdon and left my handbag it,
charge of the steward, and then I had
walked down to the Casino, read the paper
while I waited for the tide to rise, meauing

breakfast at the Casino, which would have
left me a quarter of an hour to get comfort
ably on lionrd the malllsiat, which, as I say.
left for Folkestone at 1:30.
Clad in my hideous garments, I sprang
from the bathing; machine anil oajnt at
once face to f.ico with the lady whoso liiu 1
bml saved. Her maid was standing by her,
carrying her bathing costume iu a net It.
one hand and tho little Tyrolese bat in tht
other.
"You can go, Justine," she said to tho
maid carelessly. "I ahull breakfast, aud
monsieur will reconduct me."
"Out, Mine, la Buronne," replied the
maid.
My heart almost stood still. She was
married, then, and a baroness; hero was an
adventure. I felt a pardonable prido when
I reflected that I had saved tho life of
female member of the French uobility.
forgot for the moment thut 1 had lust mv
luggage, that I was wearing another man'
clothes, and that all the money I had in the
world was 15 francs; nnd I ottered my arm
to the baroness with a graceful effusion
that Louis XI V himself nilidit have envied.
We walked slowly uloiigthesuiitls toward
the Casino. I gazed Iu my companion's
lustrous eyes anu rcutl in those sparkling
orbs a world of gratitude. The sand was
deep; whether It was the depth of the sand
or the intensity of her gratitude I can not
tell, but the baroness leaned heavily upon
my arm, and 1 miuio violent love to her till
we got to the Casino. As we entered it 1
heard three loud whistle from tho mail
steamer. Good heavens! they brought me
buck to the commonplace at once, and I re
membered thut the mnillKiat was actually
startlngl I conducted the barauess to a
seat; I begged her to excuse me for a single-
instant.
I rushed on to the platform of the Casino,
past which tho mailboat was slowly steam
ing at half speed. She wasn't 80 yards olf,
and upon the hurricane- (Irak I saw a hide
ous young umu, wiih ie,l Lulr, dressed In
my clothes. My massive watcbebain glit
tered on his no my waistcoat, and he was
helping himself to one of my special pom-
poso Vannglorosos from my ivory cigar
case. He evidently recognized his clothes
at once and kissed his linger tips at me
with cool effrontery. bat could I do? I
couldn't stop him. There was nothing else
but to grin and bear It.
I re-entered the restaurant of the Casino,
and I sut down at the little table, facing
the baroness as If nothing had happened.
In torn penny in for a pound, I thouuht. I
had never entertained a baroness before.
"What shall we begin with?" I suid. with
ferocious calmness.
Let us have oysters," suid the baroness.
"One can always eat oysters after a sea
butb."
"Oysters? Monsieur will of course pre
fer Ostend oysters? And Chublls monsieur
will assuredly drink Chablls?" said the ob
sequious waiter.
I tapped the 15 francs In mv waistcoat
pocket with the air of nil Alexander.
Chablis a bottle of the best Chablis." 1
replied somewhat faintly.
The bath bad evidently given the baron
ess an appetite. She laughed, she showed
bcr pretty teeth, and she picked the wing
of a chicken with a delicious grace. Then
we bad an omelette au rhum, and when
the flaming delicacy wus put upon the
tanio sue gave a pretty little scream of nf
fectcd terror, nnd under the Influence of a
bottle of sparkling Moselle I went on Im
proving the occasion.
betber it wus love or the effects of the
Moselle I cannot say, but for the first time
in my life I was able to speak the French
languuge fluently. I had possessed mvself
01 the baroness' hand; 1 proposed the toast
of "Absent friends and those we love," and
we were in the act of going through the
pretty French ceremony of clinking our
glasses together prior to drinking the tonst,
when I saw the baroness suddenly turn
pale; she dropped her glass, and it wnsshiv
nl into a thousand pieces upon tho mar

"Henri," she gasped, "who would tu-ve

"Evidently not my wife," said a deep

attitude behind my chair.
I have not the honor of monsieur s ac

What could she do, poor thing? She cast
one look of hopeless longing und entreaty
at me, and the pair left the restaurant.
"I will return unon, sir," hissed the baron
In a fiendish whisper, to me.
Where had I met him before? I distinct

but in vain. And then it suddenly came
bock to me. The baron was a horrible mix
ture of Mucuri iu "Culled Back," a profes
sional murderer, and Chateau Keiiuud in
The Corsicnn Brothers," a professional
duelist.
Drops of cold perspiration burst out upou
my massive forehead. Why should I wail
for the baron? Just at that moment 1
caught the waiter s eye and also a grin,
which suddenly disappeared from his face.
and I remembered that flight was. nlasl Im
possible, for I hndn't tho wherewithal cvcj
to pay my bill. Besides, If I ran away, what
woiiui the baroness think of mo?
"Uarcon!" I exclaimed in a lordlv man

If he bad only brought me the Chartreuse
In a glass! But he didn't. The viilian

Ihere is nothingthat raises the courara
so mucii as green i-iianreuse. After the
third glass my feelings changed altogether.
I would meet the baron. I would lav him
dead at my feet, and theu I would entreat
the baroness to fly with me. Had she not
told me but two short hours ago that there
was nothing she could refuse to tho man
who had saved her i'fe? I would take her
at her word. And then I swallowed nn
other glass of Chartreuse nnd waited anx

I heard tho warning whistle of the excur

And then two French olllcers in full uni

to my little table ami introduced themselves
as the emissaries of the outraged baron,

my two military acquaintances appeared
upon the platform of tho restaurant. They

Words: "B. F. Stephonson. Founder of

Tho front ton dio bears the O. A. Ii
bjulgo, 011 tho south sido Is a mounted can
non nnd accessories, on tho west sldo Is a

When Mr. Stephenson died Aug. 80,
1871, at tho ago ot 49 years, his remains
were Interred in the Stephenson family

soldiers generally
were dissatisfied
with tho obscure

their order, and
In 1883 the re

for a suitable monument, a committee was
appointed nt tho grand encampment of
the O. A. it. lust year, tho money was
raised, and tho monument Is now complet
ed. It will bo unveiled with impressive
ceremonies during tho coming full.
Alter tho wur many restricted organiza
tions of vetorans, such nstlioSoclotyof tho
Army of tho Potomac, were formed, but it
was soon seen that what tho veterans ot
tho north particularly desired was a na
tional organization thut should bo open to
all soldiers who had fought under tho stars
and stripes. Tho Idea of such an organi
zation suggested Itself to Dr. Stephenson
and (Jhupluln W. J. Rutledgo of the Four
teenth Illinois infantry. They planned
many ot tho details of tho proposed order
and In March, lson, met nt Springfield,
Ills., to nrmngo a ritual. At this meeting
tho nanio Grand Army of the Republic
was decided upon, and ou April 6, I860,
Major Stephenson, assisted by Contain
John S. Phelps of the Thirty-second Illi
nois infantry, organized at Decatur tho first
G. A. K. post. It was culled "'Post 1 of
Decatur, district of Macon, department of
Illinois." There were only 13 charter
members, nnd Major Stephenson was the
rst commander of tho department.
torn time polities threatened to dis
rupt tho Infant order, but the veterans
wisely excluded all political questions, and
it continued to grow apace until at the
present timo the total membership Is about
400,000. Since tho organization of tho or

by the different posts for tho relief of un
