REPORT FORjjUARTER Has Been Filed by County Recorder Robbins.
County. Recorder Will Robbins ha completed hi quarterly report on tha number of Instruments recorded and the amount of fees collected in tbe recorder's office. The report covers tbe months of Deceeraber, January and February. The total amount of fees collected was $805.65, which Is about $125 less than the amount collected during the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year. Recorder Robbins accounts for this fact by the extreme cold weather this winter, as during that time very few deals were put through In this city and consequently few instruments were recorded. He nays that now bis office is filled with business and that he and bis deputies are working overtime. Following is his report for the quar

Mohammed Ali speaks at Y. M. C. A Sunday, 2:30 p. tn. Soloist: Mrs. F. W. Krueger. All men invited. THE STARS APPEARED.
He Only Wanted to See Ons, but Ho Was Introduced to a Cluster. He bad been celebrating, not wisely, but too well, and getting obstreperous and noisy and looking for a flgbt be was tackled by a policeman who In plain clothes was on bis way home. The drunken one showed fight and was indignant thnt an apparently private citizen should try to arrest him. "Show me your star!" he demanded. "Don't believe you're a cop at ali. Won't go with you till 1 see your star." and be aimed a maudlin blow at tbe policeman. , There waa a scuffle and a fight abort lived, but strenuous, and tbe drunken man was landed in tbe po'lee atutlon. where be stayed all night. In tbe morning it. was a disheveled and torn wreck that appeared before the magistrate and who listened to the policeman relate tbe trouble be bad lu getting him to tbe atatlon bouse. "He wanted to flgbt me all the way to tbe station, your honor. He kept pulling back and trying to trip me and yelling: '8how roe your star! I won't g unless yon show me your star. " "And." asked tbe magistrate gently, "did you show blm your star?" "Your honor." interrupted the prisoner, "he clouted me on the bead, and I saw tbe star 1 saw several of them, enough to go around tbe entire force."
Lion's Hood Fountains.
Perhaps you bave noticed that the
water in a great many public fouu
tains, whether for man or beast, comes out of a lion's mouth. Did you ever stop to think why a lion's bead should be selected in preference to any other
design? Among tbe ancient Egyptians tbe rising of tbe waters of tbe
river Nile waa tbe most important vent of tbe year as it meant life and prosperity to tbe whole nation. This rMns of the waters always took place when tbe sun was in tbe constellation of l.co. or the lion, so they adopted tbe shape of a Hon as the symbol for tbe ilfe giving waters of tbe Nile and all tbelr fountains were carved with a Hon s bead. Tbe Greeks and Romans copied thlft symbol and so it has come do vd to us. New York Son.
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Tbe most curious things happen. If you read them in a work of fiction you would say that they .were exaggerated. This, in instance: A man down In Virginia weeded an old overcoat out of the attic, with an accumulation of odds and ends of apparel, and finding that it was in good condition and remembering that he had always liked it when it was new twenty years before, sent it to a tailor to be overhauled. When the coat was returned the contents of tbe pockets were also sent, among them an old letter. Tbe latter was, the man found to his surprise, addressed In his own handv. iting to a young woman In Balti
more. He opened it and found written therein his proposal for ber heart and Land. All, then, was clear to him "She had been bis sweetheart," tbe (iccount reads, "They had come from (lermany on the same ship. He one day wrote a letter setting forth his love ami asking her to marry him. He reihed no answer to his letter. Believing himself jilted, he never tried to
see tne gin again, lert a it 'more ana : otherwise . . i i . v i i i
t-ciuea in Virginia, in rue siainea ana rent
faded letter he recognized the fact that be had forgotten to post the love missive." This, of course, is one of the stock properties of the old time melodrama "the letter that never came." But it is the sequel which seems incredible. The man had married, had grown wealthy, his wife had died After her death he began again to think of his early love. Found, upon Investigation, that she had married and that ber busband had died. That she had again married and removed to a distant state, but that she had bevn granted an absolute divorce from her second husband. The man wrote her, enclosing the
time-worn letter, and posted It himself in the post-office to "make sure" that it was Bafely on its way. The reply stated that she never vould have married anyone else had she received the first letter. They were married and went to Germany on their honeymoon. If this had been the basis of a novel it would have been thrown down as an improbable talc and maybe tiresome. For strange as it may seem, the photographic reproduction of an object is not always as interesting as the original. And frequently not only less inter
esting but utterly lacking in the quality whicb made it striking and which served to attract and hold the attention. You can see' this in a photograph itrelf. Haven't you seen and known perfectly beauf'ul persons who took flatly uninteresting pictures? And, on tbe other hand, those you found plain, even dull of feature, actually plebian. and, in any event, neither beautiful nor striking, who would be reproduced in amazing effectiveness by the camera? The light plays strange tricks. It will do this with the vision of those suffering from myopia or what is generally termed "near-sightedness." With the latter, objects ordinarily obscured and indennite will assume uncanny brilliances. People will loom up with startling distinctness. It is doubtful, indeed, whether any two persons see any object alike. You can find this out by asking say,
five persons, how some certain other person was dressed on a stated occasion. Rarely will their accounts agree. A reporter finds this out e:rly in the j game. Sent to, the scene of an accident he will find it sometimes almost impossible to get any accurate description of

It was, however, merely an evolution in the art of painting not a revolution. Strangely enough these men are now looked upon as conservatives. So rabid, so outre, so bizarre bave some of the moderns developed. The canvasses of Monet and Manet regarded as the great masters of the "impressionist school," are not looked
I upon as artistic monstrosities. But as

A story of real life like the one just referred to, only emphasizes the tricks fate plays us. A mental habit that of forgetting caused the separation of two people lor twenty years.

' sardonically at its rocky and inhospitable expanse. Desultorily kicking at tbe stones he observed their substance. To make tbe story short, the property was found to be undeveloped coal land and the ne'er-do-well became a
millionaire. His extreme amiability in hunting through the attic for some inconsequent possessions of his mother was the star that pointed the way to fortune. Life is strange, fascinating, romantic. And when you walk down the street you never know what may happen.

PARIS HAS A SWEET TOOTH. A Post o Whom Candy Brought Meteor Results Than His Rimos. Tbe best business in Paris is said to be that of tb well established and ovy nlar confectioner, and this fact has been recognised, it is said, since the days of Napoleon III. and his natural brother, tbe Duke de Moray. "The duke." says Le Cri de Paris, "had a weakness for writing vaudevilles and often asked the counsel of Sirandln. who was a skillful collaborator t Clairviile. "But tbe theater brought no riches fo Siraudin. One day Moray said to him: 'My friend. I want to see thee in a better situation. The idea comes to Oi to put thee in commerce,. What dot thou say to itT "Siraudin received this proposition joyfully, but what line of trade should he choose? Moray and Siraudin set out on the principle that the best business was evidently tbe one in which there were fewest failures. They con
scientiously scanned tbe bulletin of
declarations of bankruptcy. All the trades were represented there all except one: that was the confectioner, and Moray gave to Siraudin tbe necessary capital to establish himself as a merchant of bonbons. Siraudin Ingeniously conciliated tbe lyric muse. Be wrapped his pralines, his sugar plums and bis chocolates in kiss papers. eacLi inclosing his printed verses. Moray did better than establish him. He frequented his shop. As the duke was tbe king of the world of fashion, be drew all Paris by his example, and tbe fortune of the poet-confectioner Sirauuia was made."

How Wo Broatho. Men and women do not breathe alike. In a woman the breathing is from the thorax or chest, while In a man It la mainly from the diaphragm, which la lower down. This peculiar dUfoence is so marked that it is possible to recognize by it a. woman disguised aa a man. although the disguise may be fa ultlees in other respects. llct physiologists say that this difference is not due to sex, but owing to artificial conditions, such aa the wearing of corsets. ,

mended. He stumbled on the veranda steps, tried to catch the rail, failed, fell backward and broke his neck. A ne'er do-well who had been cut oft by his father, a man of wealth, without a penny, rummaged round in the attic one day at the request of his mother for some family valuables and found deeds to a bit of unprofitable land out west. He turned them over to his mother and, after consultation with her lawyer and the young man's brothers and sisters, announced that the deeds amounted to nothing and if he liked he might have them. This was done as a sort of joke. The ne'er-do-well pocketed them and started out on one of his world tours via the bumpers. On a. certain day he found himself
in a distant state with a good deal of superfluous leisure. It was Spring and warm. He took off his coat and began an idle conning over of its pocket's contents. He discovered the deeds. To his surprise he found the land
tions were given as favors.

Hundred Languages,
In the Philippines. The natives of the Philippines are known to bave at least twenty-five languages, and some students of the ethnology of tbe islands bave expressed tbe belief that they bave more than donble that number of distinct tongues. For purposes of study they are generally put in two groups: First The languages of the Negritos, supposedly descendants of tbe aboriginal population of tbe islands, who are distributed in scattered tribes in tbe interior of tbe larger islands. Second. The languages of the various Malay tribes which make up the bulk of the population Christian, Mohammedan and pagan. 'It cannot be said that the Philippine languages possess any very considerable literary value. The old native manuscripts Inscribed on leaves or strips of cane have practically all been
lost. American students of tbe islands bave found tbe scanty native literature in religious writings, indifferent poetry and primitive newspapers. Tbe natives themselves are profoundly ignorant for the most part as to their own literature. New York Times.

the cause and results. No two have
seen it irom tne same angle. Ana yet each one will firmly assert that his is the only correct version. It is this which accounts for the infatuation of some man for some woman when other women are heard to declare "I can't understand what he Bees in her." It is this which causes prolonged disputes over the color of eyes and hatr. This which makes two pictures of the same scene from the brushes of
i two artists seem utterly unlike.
It is the medium through which the vision is filtered, not the object itself, which is seen. That is the reason those artists, called, sometimes incorrectly "impressionists," were, at first, so misunderstood. For they concerned themselves al-
