A cor respondent writes: "A traveler must land at the little port of San Sebastian and there flud a muleteer from the in terlor. With him be must ride up the steep bridle paths that wind through the mountains. When no louger any living thing la within sight, aud the wilderness Is only broken by the crim son flower of the ractua growing In the clefts of the rock, the muleteer dismounts, sets his forefingers togeth er at a right angle and places theiu In hi mouth. An arrow of -piercing sounds shoots across the ravines and up the stony terraces Into the fast nesses of the mountains. A moment's pause and there comes a thin, almost uncanny, answering whistle from far away. Conversation begins and, as the sounds rise and fall, are atacca- toed or drawn out, so they are faith fully echoed and transmitted by the hills. Then comes the ghostly reply, and then question and answer follow with out hesitation or misunderstanding. Perhaps the stranger will ask. 'What are you doing there? Answer; There Is a traveler with me. One of our mules Is lame. Can you bring ua a fresh one? 'Yes, I can. Do you want anything else?' 'You might bring some milk along If you have any.' aud so on. That the conversation la correctly Interpreted Is presently con firmed by tiie arrival of the mule and the mllk aud the distance that sepa rated the parties to the dialogue turns out to be a'wut three miles. "Long n s aud short notes, rising and falling tones, go to make this mar velous means of communication. No record is to be found of Its origin or history, and It will be a thousand pities if scientific investigation Is not made before the silvando is added to the list of dead languages, as assur edly It will be within the next two or three genera tious."

The first public exhibition of a "hap py family" in Engluud was given about fifty years ago, when there were shown a monkey, a cat, several rats and three or four pigeons In one cage. The monkey was on excellent terms with the cat so long as puss would allow him to warm himself by cud dling her; otherwise be would show his vexation by slyly giving ber tail a nip with his teeth. The birds perched on the cat's back and pecked at her fur, and the rats were as friendly with their natural enemy as if she were one of their own sort. A lady walking in tLe Isle of Wight observed a little kitten curled up on a mossy bank taking a midday nap As she stopped to stroke it a hawk swooped down and, pouncing upon the kitten, hid it from sight. The lady, fearing for the life of the kitten, tried to rescue it, but the hawk firmly faced her, stood at bay and re fused to move. She hastened to fisherman's cottage and told the In mates of the Impending tragedy. "It's always so," they said, laughing. "That hawk always comes down if any one goes near the kitten. He has taken to it and stays near at hand to watch whenever it goes to sleep. The lady, greatly Interested, made further Inquiry and learned that the kitten's mother had died, after which the nursling was missed for several days. One day the hawk was seen about the cottage picking up scraps of meat nd carrying them to the roof of the cottage. The fisherman climbed up and found the lost kitten nestled in a bole In the thatch and thriving under the care of Its strange foster father. It was brought down and restored to the cot tage, but the hawk would not resign his charge and was always at hand to rescue the kitten from the caresses of strangers. Philadelphia North Amer ican. Dictionary Lore. "Poison" and "potion" are doublets the former being an older form of the latter. Both are derived from the Latin "potare." to drink, and "poison"' In its origins 1 sense signified merely something to drink. While the word "human' used as meaning "a human being" is now only colloquial or humorous, Lowell In the introduction to the "Biglow Pa pers" chlded Bartlett for including It In his "Dictionary of Americanisms" and remarked that it was Chapman's habitual phrase In his translation of Homer and that it is found also In the old play of "The Hog Hath Lost His Pearl.'

Andrew Carnegie Has a 50,000-Copy Edition of a Pamphlet Written by Himself Published for Free Dis tribution Throughout the Country. New York, March 14. -Andrew Carnegie, as president of the Peace Society of New York, has Just had published for free distribution throughout the country a 50,000 copy edition of a pamphlet written by himself in which he pleads for world peace. "In our age," says Mr. Carnegie "there Is no more reason for permit ting war between civilized nations than for relaxing the reign of law within nations, which compels men to submit their personal disputes to peaceful courts, and never dreams that by so doing they will be made less heroic. "A peace league of the foremost nations should put an end to the pos sibility of war among themselves and compel other nations to submit their disputes to peaceful tribunals. Since war decides not which 1b wrong, but only which is strong, it Is difficult to understand how a truly heroic or conscientious man can ever favor appeal to It, unless, after proffering peaceful arbitration, his country Is attacked. "Should ever our country have a dispute with another, the demand should come from an irresistible number of the most enlightened and heroic of our people that our govern ment should In Its right hand carry gentle peace and offer Us adversary arbitration. When war ceases, the sense of human brotherhood will be strength ened and 'heroism' will no longer mean to kill but to save and serve our fellows." PARTY IS IN DANGER.
