Often as I have seen Notre Dame, the marvel of it never grows less. I go to Parls with no thought or time for it, busy about many other things, and then on my way over one of the bridges across the river perhaps I ses it again on its Island, the beautiful towers high above the high roofs of houses and palaces, and the view, now 8o famillur, strikes me afresh with all the wonder of my first Impression. The wonder only seems greater if I turn, as I am always tempted to, and walk down the quays on the left bank, the towers before me and with every step coming more and more complete- 1y together, by the Pont Neuf, to the island and at last to the great square where Netre Dame fronts me in its superb calm.—Elizabeth Robins Pea- nell In Century. ‘Why He Quit the Game. “Take a hand?” queried Smith as Jones stood watching the poker game at the club. “No. Quit.” “What's the matter—cold feet?” “No. I always come out loser.” “I never saw you lose in my life.” “I know you never saw me, but 1! lose. If I happen to win a litttle here, my wife smilingly insists on my divid- Ing my winnngs when I go home. If I lose, I get a lecture ou the evils of gambling, sud the next day, in order to get even, my wife runs bills down town to the amount I lost. If I tel! her I came out just even, she takes half the money to prevent my losing all 1 have, so I am bound to lose.” The Dozen. In all the civilized countries of the world thirteen Is referred to as being pomebody’s “dozen.” In America, Australis, Great Britain (present day) and several other lands that number is said to a “baker’s dozen.” In Italy it Is referred to as the “cobbler's dozen,” there being a tradition that there was formerly a law which compelled cob blers to put twelve tacks or nalls round the edge of a boot heel. Finally, when the nails became cheap, a center nail was driven for luck. Warned In Time. A man visiting a lunatic asylum re- cently was conversing with some of the outdoor patients when a man rode up on horseback. The pace called for comment among the party, and one of the patleats sald he had seen a horse running much faster than that one. “Ob,” exclaimed the visitor sotto voce, “I have seen a horse fiying.” “Dinna let the doctor hear ye sayin’ that, my man,” Interjected an old Scotch luna- tlc. There's fouk In here for far less than fleeln’ horses.” Latchkey as a Source of Trouble. Ever since some mechanically inelin- ed person, with an almost diabolical tn- stinct for making mischief, invented a form of spring lock which can Le open- ed on the inside by a knob and on the outside only by a key there has been trouble. The latchkey from the first bas been a domestic storm center. It has divided famlly circles and even broken up homes.--London Telegraph. The Bes There 1s a legend, says an English writer, to the effect that after Lord Stanley came Into the house of peers a iady somewhat Indiscreetly asked Lord Brougham at a dinner party who was the best speaker In the house of lords and that Lord Brougham prompt- Iy and emphatlcally answered, “Lord Btanley, madam, is the second best.” Hasty Conclusion.

I was spending the winter at El Kantara. In February I made a car- avan trip over the desert along the great caravan route that runs from Biskra to Timbuktu. The third day out we reached an oasis of date palms ‘We got coffee at the baked mud cafe We dined on red fish and gazelle steak, and for an eatree was serted this Infernal liver. It was liver pow- dered with kiff. KIff is hasheesh. It is made of hemp, and It makes you drunk. The Arabs mix it with their tobacco, and they bread liver with it. and they drop it In coffee. Thus they eat, drink and smoke their kiff. I ate their kIff and imagined my arm to be & mile long. I thought my foot as big as a mountain. My voice, wher I spoke, sounded in my ears like tbe roar of a thousand thunders. In a word, 1 was kiff drunk, and 1t was two days before 1 was fit to resume my Journey across the gold colored sands.” The Laborers of Servia, Servia’s laborer is at heart a simple, prosaic fellow. His attire is coarse al- most to the point of ungainliness— rough brown trousers of homespun, a coat a shade or two darker and edged with a strip of black fleece; a peaked woolen cap and a cane, and you have the picture. He is a farmer on a small scale, and his hobby Is raising hogs. which he turns Into the forests or fields to fatten on mast. The rural life In Servia is primitive. At sunup folks rise, take their raki, or schnapps, and go to the fields to work. Their meal is brought to them at noon and again in the evening, for they often work until sunset. And so life goes on and on. Across the bluffs that border the river a road runs parallel with the Danube, and here workmen are seen, dressed often in white suits with red girdles, striving to bring from the earth the grain that will not come. In Roumania and Bulgaria the grain lands are rich, but here the earth seems stubborn and unproductive. So the laborer ekes out his existence as he may—the least in- teresting of all the laborers of southern Europe. "A Famous Bell The épperor’s great bell in the Ca thedral of Cologne was consecrated with great pomp. Twenty-two cannon taken from the French were assigned by the Emperor William for its manu- facture. It was cast by Andreas Hamm of Frankenthal, and more than $20,000 was pald for the casting. It bears an inscyiption recording that “William, the most august em- peror of the Germans and king of the Prussians, mindful of the heavenly help granted to him whereby he con ducted the late French war to a pros perous issue and restored the German empire, cansed cannon taken from the French to be devoted to founding ® bell to be hung in the wonderful ca- thedral then approaching completion.” A likeness of St. Peter, the name patron of the church, is on the side, beneath which s a quatrain in the style of the mediaeval conceits, pray- ing that as devout hearts rise heaven- ward at hearing the sound of the bell 80 may the doorkeeper of heaven open wide the gates of the celestial mansion.

B + Perhaps’ the most portentous If in- nocent 1incident in the proceedings leading ¥p to England’s war with King Theodore of Abyssinia was-—a thumb Jite. The British consul was practlesdly a prisoner at his court when {Mr. dtern, a British missionary, called upon the ““king of kings.” The first mistake of the Englishman was to seek an audience immediately after the king had dined too liberally with his court. The second was his choosing as Interpreters thwo utterly incompetent men. ‘The inefficiency of this pair so angered the dusky monarch that then and theres he ordered them to be beat- en. Mr. Stern, “unable to bear the slght, turned around and bit his thumb.” Now, he was not aware of it, but/to bite the thumb is in Abys- sinia atdefiance and a thréat of venge- ance. The quick eye of the king caught the innocent menace, and he bad the missionary also beaten. From that sprang the war, the defeat of the forces of the king and his death by his own hand in his ruined city of Mag- dala.—London Standard. The Efernal Wilderness. We still have our' “unmanstified” places. And there shall come to us a wilderness here and another there where now there is none, for every- thing moves in circles, which is not at all a new discovery, and the man who today laments a dearth of the wilder- ness may live long enough to find him- self one day wielding an ax as dull as the pen he now bewalls with—and for- ty miles from a grindstone. We shall not remonstrate with the writers who are picturing us going to eternal smash for want of tall timber. Their work 1s not without its good effect in staying the denudation of our nearby recrea. tlon grounds, and we are content to watch the wily old wilderness creeping up In the rear of the advancing army of Invasion, reaching out with sure, si- lent fingers and reclaiming her own, bullding anew her razed stockades and anfurling to the winds her defiant ban- nerets.—Recreation, ‘The Bed and the Candidates, Judge Harlan and James B. McCrea- ry once canvassed Kentucky together as the Republican and Democratic can- didates for governor. They traveled about the state on a joint debating trip and In many small mountain places had to sleep In the same bed. They were warm personal friends and so did not object to this intimacy. One night Mr. Harlan got into bed first. Senator McCreary was not far pehind, and just as he entered the bed Judge Harlan raised his bulky form and said in his stentorian voice, ‘“McCreary, there is one thing certain—the next governor of Kentucky is in this bed.” As he spoke the bed slats broke, and Judge Harlan rolled to the floor. Sena- tor McCreary caught and held himself in bed, and, as Judge Harlan reached the floor, said: “John, you are right. The next governor of Kentucky is still in this bed.” The Sea Horse. This fish is found in the Atlantle ocean around the coast of Spain, the south of France, in the Mediterranean and in the Indian ocean. Sea horses are very small and have been found often curled up in oyster shells, The head is much like that of a horse, and the rings around the body and tail re- semble those of some caterpillars. The habits of these fishes are singular and interesting. They swim with a waving motion, and frequently wind their tails around the weeds and rushes. They bave fins to sustain them in the water, and even in the air. They live on worms, fishes, eggs and substances found in the bottom of the sea. The World as It 1s. A world without mistakes and with- out suffering would be a world without real men and women, without litera- ture, without music, without painting or sculpture ‘and without love, and even without history,;for history is a record of struggles toward better and higher things. Without obstacles to overcome and errors to correct men and women would lapse to a level with beasts In mentality. Intellectual and spiritual development would cease and souls not refined by the fire of ordeals ‘would die of something akin to fatty degeneration. The races would perish of ennui or inanity. After all, it's a pretty fair sort of world as It stands, ~Louisville Courier-Journal. The Light That Failed. It was by an accident that Mr. Kip- ling got his famous title, “The Light That Failed.” He had almost decided to call the novel “The Failure,” al- though he was dissatisfied with this. One evening as he was sitting in his study reading by lamplight the light went suddenly down—almost failed, in fact. In a second Kipling jumped up, exclaiming excitedly, “By Jove, I've got It!” Pointing to the lamp, he said, “The Light That Failed.”—London Standard. The Man Fish, Mathew Buchinger, mentioned in old English wonder books as the “man fish,” was the most remarkable mon- strosity of his time. He had neither hands, arms, feet nor legs. From his shoulders grew two finlike excrescen- ces, and along his back there were sev- eral rows of scales. He had the lidless eyes characteristic of the fish species and a queer puckered mouth and ne ears. All Around the Clock. “Grandpa says his stay in the moun- talns last summer did him no good. His room was right off the plazza, and people made love under his window “until all hours.” “But couldn’t he sleep after the lov- ers went to bed?” “No; as soon as the lovers went to bed the children got up.” — Harper’s Weekly.

DISORDER AND LAWLESSNESS ATTEND POLICE UNABLE TO HANDLE IM- MENSE CROWD ATTRACTED TO THE LOCALITY. New York, Jan. {.—A dozen persons were injured, forty families were made homeless, 2,000 persons were driven temporarily from their homes, fifty horses were roasted to death and property valued at $200,000 was de- stroyed in the worst early morning fire New York has seen in many months. One' big tenement house at 427 West Fifty-third street and a large boarding stable at 429-431 West Fifty- third street were destroyed. Seven tenement houses at 426-434 West Fifty- third street and 43¢ and 438 West Fifty-fourth street were badly dam- aged. Lack of adequate water pres- sure is said to have been largely re- sponsible for the extent of the fire. Had not one of the big fireboats, which drew its water supply from the Hud- son river, come to the rescue the loss must have been much greater. Disorder and Lawlessness. One of the worst features of the fire was the tremendous crowd which gathered in the streets around the burning district and the attendant dis- order and lawlessness. So great was the crowd that all the police who had been called to the scene had difficulty in preserving anything like order in the streets and for a time thieves were given almost a free hand to loot the burned buildings. Two policemen who had detected six young men act- ing suspiciously in a house chased the men over roofs down to Tenth avenue, firing several shots at them, but all the men succeeded in getting away. Another exciting incident came when a woman among the spectators screamed that three negroes had tried to rob her. One negro was seen run- ning away from her and a group of white men gave chase, firing after the fugitive as they ran. After a chase of several blocks two detectives joined the pursuers and they, too, began to fire at the fleeing negro. Not one of the shots reached the mark, but the negro finally gave up. A Matter ot Nose. In spite of the important place given to the nose as an index of character, there is but little to be learned from it In estimating the causes of an innate bond between the mind and the fea- tures. Most of the correspondences which have been remarked appear to be of a radical order, but why a Roman nose first became assoclated with a warlike and domineering disposition or how 4 long and thin nose became linked with business prudence is more than I can say. If we omit the changes which take place in a nose during the lifetime of its possessor, there is scarce- ly a nasal peculiarity of value to the physiognomist which at the same time is cosmopolitan. No Tartar or Hotten- tot, however warlike, could give proof of it in this way. Japan has shown that she possesses plenty of men with military aptitude, but no Wellingtonian nose can be found within her borders. Again, no Chinese nose is long and thin, yet John is not without a certain aptitude at driving bargains.—Black- wood’s Magazine. Music and the Turtle, The Egyptians, according to the sage Apollodorus, credit their Hermeés or Mercury with the invention of music under the following -circumstances: The Nile, having overflowed its banks and inundated nearly all of Egypt, on its return to its banks left on its shores various dead animals and among the rest a tortoise, the flesh having dried and wasted in the sun until nothing remained in the shell but cartilages. These, being tightened by the drying heat, became sonorous. Mercury, walking along the banks of the river, happened to strike his foot against this shell, was so pleased with the sound produced that the idea of the lyre suggested itself, and he con- structed a lyre of the shell of a large tortoise, which he strung with the slnews of dead animals. Dryden wrote: Less than a god they thought there could not dwell ‘Within the hollow of that shell That spoke so sweetly. Papyrus. The papyrus used by the ancient Egyptians was made from the stems of a peculiar water reed growing in all parts of Egypt. The outside layer of the plant was removed, and beneath this there were found a number of lay- ers of a delicate, pithy membrane. These, being separated, were placed In layers. A second layer was laid at right angles to and above the first and sometimes a third over the second. Heavy pressure was then applied, and the layers were firmly cemented inte a talr article of paper. No gum other than what was contained in the plant itself was used in the process. The papyrus was very much stronger than the average paper made by the mod- ern machines. The sheets were com- monly made from six to twelve inches Aquare, Widows. ‘Widows exist in all countrles, thus counterbalancing the matrimonial de- cadence which might otherwise result from timid men.

Widows are frequently accompanied by children, whose number is constantly liable to Increase. They roam at large over the prineipal sections, and no maa- is hen they are near. All the per- The Wreckers of Scilly, As far back as the time of Henry I there were royal grants of “the islands and their wrecks,” and frequent was the phrase in centuries following, With oyal encouragement, why should they not be wreckers? One Sunday, long 8go, in Scilly, service was in progress Wwhen there came the cry of “Wreck!” The men started from their seats. In 8 moment there would have been a stampede, but they cowered back as the minister sternly thundered a warn- Ing. He strode to the door. Again his voice arose. “Let’s all start fair!” he shouted, throwing off impeding cassock 8s he ran, while his congregation la-, bored at his heels. Most curious of all wrecks was that of a bark, with a car- 80 of beads, that went ashore 200 years ago. So generous has been the ocean with this treasure that throughout these two centuries it has intermittent- ly been tossing beads ashore, yet so frugally that the supply is not yet ex- hausted, for in a few minutes’ search I found that some had been thrown there since the last search of the is- landers.—Robert Shackleton in Har- per’s. Raters, Sailabouts and Larks, ‘What is a rater, a sailabout, a lark, s a question commonly heard among those not familiar with yachts and technical racing terms. A rater is thirty-eight feet long and carries the double sails—sloop rig and jib. The half rater is thirty-two feet long, car- ries the same style sails as the rater and usually gets a five minute handi- cap in rater races. The sailabout car- ries a single large sail and is built on graceful lines, with rounded sides and ends, while the lark has square sides and ends and carrles the single sail. Few larks are built now. Most of the yachts recently built have the double centerboard. The centerboard pre- vents drifting sidewise, and the single board is often entirely out of water during heavy winds; hence the use of the double board. The Oldest Tunnel. The oldest known tunnel in the world 1s that of Siloah, near Jerusalem. It was used as an aqueduct. The famous inscription, discovered some years ago, celebrates the first meeting of the dig gers from both sides. Newspapers did not appear in those days, and so the event cannot be exactly dated, but it most probably took place under King Hezekiah, about 700 B. C.. and Is an interesting testimony to the high state of clvilization among the Jews at a time when Europe was inhabited by savages.—American Israelite. Help In Colonlal Days. For help the colonial woman had to choose between an Indian who might scalp her if the mood or fancy so dic- tated, “blackamoors” not yet outgrown African savagery, the town poor sold to the highest bidder, bound convicts transported for crime or Ignorant crea- tures who had been beguiled to board ships that carried them off to virtual slavery and “free willers” discontented under and impatient for the end of the compacts which bound them.

Berlin, Jan. ~.—Chancellor von Bue- low has disclosed the motives and acts of the government in dissolving the reichstag in a vigorous election mani- festo which took the form of a letter to Lieutenant General von Liebert, chairman of the managing committee of the Empire league, formed to com- bat the Social-Democrats. The chan- cellor explained that he had a double purpose in appealing to the country, namely, to free the government from dependence on the Clerical party and to strengthen the liberal groups in the reichstag so that they, in combination with the conservatives, may success- fully oppose the growth and destruc- tive power of socialism and reaction- ary clericalism.
