LOTS OF FAKE HISTORIES.
Book Writer Have a Mania for An
lacloua and 1 retentions Works.
If I ever get to Congress," said a
man In a book store yesterday, "I am
going to introduce a bill for the sup
pression of fake historians. It will pro
vide that any of them caught plying
their craft shall be sentenced to six
months, twice a year on the rock pile
until they promise to be good." "What
do you mean by fake historians?" ask
ed another customer. "I thought there
was more or less faking in all history,
except, of course, historical novels."
May be so," said the first man, "but
what I bad reference to was the John
ny-on-the-spot history that pops' up
nowadays the minute anything big hap
pens. Take this Chinese muddle, for
Instance. It began last June, didn't it?
Well, that's only a few months ago, yet
how many histories or historical works
bearing directly or Indirectly on the
subject do you think have been issued?
Half a dozen? Bah! Here's one cata
logue In which I find twenty-eight, and
I .dare say that doesn't represent half
the sum total. A good many of them, I
admit, are works of real merit, but they
are put forward under false pretenses.
They are books that were written care
fully some years ago and are now
'brought up to date' by a little faked
appendix. They treat of the Chinese
situation from a viewpoint which was
all right at the time, but is now com
pletely changed. Hence they are mis-
lading.
But here's something a great deal
worse. It purports to De a nistory or
the recent complications, and is pub
lished In excellent style by a very re
spectable house. I read it the other
night and was amazed at its audacity.
Instead of being such a logical presen
tation of facts as we have a right to ex
pect from a work making any preten
tions to historical method, it Is a clumsy
hodge-podge of newspaper clippings,
pitch-forked together in any old fashion
to make a given number of pages, and
most of them several years old. Prom
the chapter headings one would sup
pose that it contained information of
real value, and I turned at once to the
part dealing with the Chinese army and
navy. It proved to be a newspaper arti
cle that I first read directly after the
war between China and Japan. Not a
vessel it named is now in service. It is
easy to say, of course, that the fellow
who is fool enough to buy half-baked
histories deserves, to be humbugged, but
the average man hasn't time to think
the matter over in advance. What I
have said applies also to the snap-shot
lives' that appear whenever a person
age of prominence dies. In these pro
gressive times the biographer can actu
ally beat the embalmer." New Orleans

COURTESY IN ONES HOME.
Observe Society's Rules and Children
'Will Never Be 111 at Ease.
When we read of court functions in
foreign lands we notice that precedence
is a thing determined by arbitrary laws,
and should we spend a season in Wash
ington we would learn that there are
certain conventional rules which govern
society and which cannot be violated
by any one, from the lowest to the high
est
Precedence is an anomaly in the sim
pie life of the ordinary home, yet it is
an open question whether the cheerful
contentment of the simplest household
would not be increased if there wers
more formality fit the daily intercourse
of parents and children. Politeness
would prevent much friction, for it
inconsistent with politeness to squab
ble, to say disagreeable things, to be
brutally candid. Perhaps we do not
half consider how much politeness
saves us from as we go about among
our friends.
In home conversation precedents as
to right of way should be with the el
ders, says Good Housekeeping. Father
and mother, grown-up brothers and sis
ters, guests snouid be allowed to ex
press themselves and little people
should not be suffered either to inter-
runt or to carrv on their talk In a hierh
key so thai the older persons can hardly
hear themselves speak.
One finds in otherwise well-bred cir
cles an amazing license accorded to the
children, in their continual breaking in
with queries or with information about
their own matters, nobody taking no
tice that they are learning to trample
on others by the practice of speaking
first and speaking loudest When

WALL OP PREHISTORIC AQE,
Remarkable CenatractiM Found la a
Mlaeteaippi Ceuatr.
Those officials of the 8 tats of Mis
sissippi who are charged with the re
sponsible commission of superintend
ing the construction of the new capltol,
which Is to cost $1,000,000, have had
their attention called to a very excel
lent article of stone which is said to
exist In Inexhaustible quantities in an
old wall extending from near Raymond
in the southern portion of Hinds Coun
ty to Brandywlne, In the county f
Claiborne, some forty miles to the
southwest and it Is possible a full in
vestigation will be made before any
contracts for the stone work for the
capitol Is awarded.
The existence of this great wall has
been known for many years, but all
previous efforts to interest- archaeolo
gists and other scientists have proved
futile, they having boo-hooed at the
idea of any such prehistoric wonder in
the .great valley of the Mississippi. But
the wall Is there beyond all question,
and so accustomed have the inhabit-
ants of the vicinity become to its pres
ence that their curiosity has become
dulled, and they have long since ceased
to wonder as to its origin.
As stated, the old wall Is traceable
for some forty miles but not without
uumerous breaks caused by the wash
ings and the accumulations of ages
burying long stretches below the pres
ent surface of the surrounding coun
ry, but once the general direction is
ixed the explorer has little trouble in
lnding where It next crops above the
uirface. The average height of the
vi-all above ground is only three or four
feet In the best exposed places, but
here is no telling bow deeply imbed
ded are the bottom layers. In some
level stretches where the entire top of
he wall is still above the surface, it Is
from ten to forty feet wide and as
solid as it could have been when first
built. The stones average six feet long,
hree feet wide and two feet thick, and
ire estimated to weigh from two to
hree tons. They are roughly but accu
rately squared and dressed and imbed
ded in as fine an article of cement as
any builder of the present century need
ever want to see. So tightly and flrm-
iy are the great stones Joined together
ihat it requires considerable exertion
with pick and crowbar to loosen them
from their ancient beds.
It is understood here that a party of
archaeologists and other scientists are
preparing to visit Mississippi for the
purpose of exploring the old wall.
Great Find of Manuscripts.
The Russians, on occupying Mukden,
the capital of Manchuria, secured-rin
other words "looted'Va large quantity
ot very valuable Oriental MSS., which,
by command of the Russian govern
ment, are being sent to St Petersburg
in order to be submitted to a minute
examination at the hands of the au
thorities of the Imperial Library, says
a St Petersburg correspondent of the
London Dally Mall. . ' -
Among the MSS. there should be, ac
cording to the view of Russian experts,
many MSS. of Greek and Roman class
ics, which were plundered and car
ried away by the Mongols in their wars
of devastation In Europe in the thir
teenth century. Some European schol
ars have combated this theory, which
was put forward some years ago, but in
any case the question is likely to be
definitely settled at no distant date.
The Mongols first became known and
feared in Europe by the conquests of
Jenghiz and his house In the thirteenth
century. The Huns were the first wave
of Mongols to burst over Europe. They
even broke into Italy. Before the mid
dle of the thirteenth century the Mon
gols had conquered all Russia and Po
land and all eastern Europe. Liegnitz,
the battle which left Europe helpless
before the Mongols, was fovght in 1241.
Growth of Population In Germany.
-The growth of Germany since, the
war with France is the most remark
able phenomenon of modern Europe.
Since the treaty of peace was signed
in 1871 Germany has not extended her
territory by a single acre on the conti
nent of Europe (if we except the acqui
sition of Heligoland), but she has in
creased her population by 16,000,000.
The Germans numbered 40,000,000 in
1871; they number 66,000,000 now, and
yet although there are so many more
mouths to feed, the Germans are better
fed, better clothed, and in every way
more prosperous than they were then,
This is attributed largely to the fact
that for twenty years Germany de
voted herself to improving the ele
mentary education of her people.
