THE RISE OF NEW YORK.
It Datea From the Time That tha Erie
Canal Was Opened.
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

BURIED LIVING PERSONS.
Horrible Custom of Japanese Prior to
Year 646 A. D.
Prior to the year 64tl A. D. the Japa
nese bad one of the most horrible bur
al customs that can be imagined that
f burying all the Immediate friends
ind retainers of a prince or other per
on of note In a standing position
iround the potentate's grave aud leav
ng them in the earth up to their necks
to perish of thirst aud hunger.
The custom cannot be said to have
seen general as late as the date given.
Tor the Japanese records prove that lu
:he time of the Emperor Sulnln i9"-30
B. C.) the burial rites of royal person
tges were so modified as to partially
ibollsh former cruelties. Speaking of
I young brother of Sulnln. who died
ind had his retinue burled standing
iround bis grave, the old record says:
'For many days they died not but
wept and cried aloud. At Inst they
lied. Dogs and crows assembled and
ite off their bends The emperor's
.ompasslon was aroused, and he de
sired to change the manner of burial
When the empress died, soon after, the
mikado Inquired of his officer If some
'ting in the way of a change could
aot be suggested, and one proposed to
make clay figures of men and burv
:hem as substitutes."
Tbat this did not entirely do away
with the former custom is proved by
in edict issued In the year (Vltl A I..

THE OPEN MOUTH.
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

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."
