If we seek the original creator of landed wealth in New York we must look over the beads of Astor and the Goelets to De Witt Clinton, the man who in 182.1 pushed to completion the Erie canal. I'p to that time New York was not Inevitably marked out for the Amer ican metropolis. In 1S00 Philadelphia was actually a larger city, and Balti more, with Its splendid harbor and its inland river communication, confident ly expected to grasp the nation's com merclal leadership But the Erie canal changed the situ ation in a twinkling It placed the city In communication with inland New York an agricultural empire In Itself, whose wealth bad previously flowed by way of the Susquehanna river to Baltimore and New York became the seaport for the agricultural states bor dering on the great lakes. Until the Erie canal was opened It bad cost (88 a ton to transport wheat from Buffalo to Albany. With this new waterway the cost fell to some thing more than $.Y A string of cities, several of which became large ones, sprang up along Its course, all tribu tary to New York. Burton J Uendrlck in McClure's Magazine- Unconscious Bravery. At a place called Anghln. about for ty miles south of Bangkok, a China man and his wife cultivated a small sugar cane plantation The man bad been greatly annoyed by having bis cane eaten by bis neighbors' buffalo calves. Coming borne one evening Just at dark, he saw what be thought was one of the marauders at work on the cane. Stealing silently up behind It, he struck It a mighty blow with a heavy club. The animal dropped with out a sound. The Chinaman told bis wife what be bad done and added, "That calf will steal no more of my cane." In the morning he found that the "calf" was a full grown tiger Fie had killed It by breaking Its neck. Just as the woman of Nam had done. And John was so much impressed with his own narrow escape that he took to his led and was sick for a week. Youtb'a Companion. A Glass Neddie Stiletto.

BURIED LIVING PERSONS. Horrible Custom of Japanese Prior to Year 646 A. D. Prior to the year 64tl A.

Causes That Induce It When We Are Intently Listening. Why do we opeu our mouths when Intently llsteuliig? There are three causes, entirely In dependent of one another, but acting In uuisou, for this action. There U a passageway called the eustachian tutie, couuectlug the back of the throat and the middle ear, the part behind the drum. When Intently llstenlug we bold our breath, and this permits sound waves to enter the mouth aud reach the eustachian tube, and lu this way they reach the drum and re-enforce the sound waves that come through the uatural channel, the outer ear. In concentrated attention the mind Is fully engrossed in the one subject, and It loses control over voluutary muscles that are not directly affected by the Subject or the process Involved In the motor activity that accompanlea men tal activity. The muscles are relaxed, the lower Jaw drops, and this opens the mouth. The third cause ta referable to ata vlsm, or the tendency to return In form or action to an early type. Early man, like the animals, was urged to action by the fundamental Instincts, self preservation and race preservation. His two alms were to secure food and avoid or destroy enemies. Like the animals, when bis attention was at tracted by a sound he placed himself In the attitude for Instant defense, at tack or securlDg food. In this attitude bis mouth was open to grasp Instantly what came In his way. The tendency to open the mouth when Intently lis tening still remains. New York Amer lean. DIG THEIR OWN GRAVES. English Army Methods In the Execu tion of Condemned Spiea, The ceremony of disposing of a con demned spy In the English army al ways follows a definite precedent The unfortunate man Is surrounded by a detachment of Infantry, and after be Is provided with a pick and shovel he Is marched off to a selected spot and ordered to dig bis own grave. This done, the tools are taken from bim nud bis eyes are bandaged. The attending chaplain reads portions se lected from the burial service, and from the ranks of the escort twelve men are selected at random by the officer In charge. These men. having stacked their own rifles, are led to where twelve other rifles are awaiting them, six of which are loaded with blank cartridges. One of these is handed to each man, so that no one knows whether the rifle be holds contains a bullet or not and none can say for certain that the shot Bred by him killed the prisoner. The firing party then marches to an ap pointed position. The commands "Pre sent!" "Fire!" are given, and almost before the Inst word rings out the volley Is fired and the spy falls into the grave be has dug. Nearly every man Is more or less af fecti-d on being selected to form one of the firing party, and many men have been known to faint away on be Ing singled out while others ore so overcome as to be scarcely able to pull the triggers of their rifles. Carlyld's Bluntnats. Thomas Carl;-le once took Lord Houghton (Richard Mllnesi to task In regard to the proposed pension for Lord Tennyson. "Richard Mllnea." said Carlyle. taking bis pipe out of his mouth, "when are ye gaun to get tbat pension for Alfred Tennyson?" Mllnes tried to explain tbat (here were dilll cuttles In the way and that possibly his constituents who knew nothing about Tennyson would accuse bim of being concerned In a Job were he to succeed In getting the desired pension for the poet "Richard Mllnes." replied the sage, "on the day of Judgment w-hen the Lord asks ye why ye dldnn get that pension for Alfred Tennyson. It'll no do to lay the blame on your constituents It's you that'll be damned." Vulcan. Vulcan, the, god of ancient black smiths and metal workers, was lame In consequence of a pretty hard fall he bad In his early days. Jupiter and Juno had a row, and Vulcan sided with his mother against the old gen tleman, who promptly kicked him out of heaven. He fell for a whole day and lighted on the Island of I-einnos. broke his leg and received as severe a shaking up as though he hnd turn bled down an elevator shaft Aescu Inplua set his leg, but, having only Just received a diploma, did a oor Job. and for a long time Vulcna went on a crutch.
