The dread of boredom is strongly characteristic of the present age, but few hate it with such intensity as the artist who lived in Paris in the days of the commune and of whom C. E. Halle speaks in his “Notes of a Painter’s Life.” “A friend of mine,” says Mr. Hallg “told me that he was in the studio of an artist when it was visited by a de tachment of soldiers. The usual ques- tion about the possession of arms was asked and answered in the negative, but one of the soldiers found a gun in the corner of the studio, and on his evidence the owner was told that he must come out and be shot. My friend was very fond of him, so he asked to be allowed to see the gun. It was given to him, and with the help of a pencil he passed his handkerchief a few inches down the barrel and brought it out brown with rust. He pointed out that if the gun had been used the inside of the barrel must have been black with powder and not brown with rust, so the artist was let off. “My friend asked the artist why he had not himself suggested this simple test, and all the answer he got was: ‘Oh, they bored me. I would rather any day be shot than bored.’” A POET AT WORK. The Bumming May Have Wordsworth Out a Bit. : To see a poem in the making, the uninitiated are apt to think, should prove an interesting sight. Untox;tm nately they will probably be disap- pointed if the description, quoted by the Rev. H. D. Rawnsley in “Literary Associations of the English Lakes,” of ‘Wordsworth at work is to be credited. An old retainer of the family furmished this account of Wordsworth walking up and down his terrace composing: “Mr. Wordsworth went - bumming and booing about, and she, Miss Dor- othy, kept close behind him and pick- ed up bits as he let fall, and she'd take 'em down and put 'em on paper for him, and you may be very well sure as how she didn’t understand or make sense out of ‘em, and I doubt that he didn't have much idea aboot 'em either himself. But, howiver, there’'s a gey lot of fowk as wad, T dare say. “He would start a-bumming at one end of the walk, and it was ‘Bum, bum, bum? till he stopped, and then ‘Bum, bum, bum! back again. Then | he’d set down and get a bit of paper out and write a bit; then git up and ‘Bum, bum, bum!” and go on a-bum- ming right down the terrace and back again. I suppose the bumming helped him out a bit.” Helped France Has Run the Gamut. No other modern nation has: under- gone changes more frequent, more radical, more sudden, bloody and dra- matic. In forms of government France has boxed the compass—has been feudal, monarchial, imperial, repub- fican and revolutionary. She has sounded the depths of royal abso- lutfsm and of communistic anarchy; has made and unmade constitutions in the pathetic effort to get one that would fit; has known a military des- potism which bluntly told the women to marry and bear children in order that Napoleon might be continuously supplied with troops; has known an absolute monarchy where a graceful manner was more effective at court than a head well filled with sense and has known a government of the rabble under which there was an insurrec- tlon against property and death sen- tences passed against citizens for the sin of wearing aristocratic names and clean shirts.—From “The Story of France,” by Thomas BE. Watson. The Point of View. The world in which a man lves shapes itse'f chiefly by the way in which he looks at it, and so it proves different to different men. To one it is barren, dull and superficial; to another, rich, interesting and full of meaning. On hearing of the interesting events which have happened in the course of 4 man’s experience many people will ~wish that similar things had happened in their lives, too, completely forget- ting that they should be envious rather of the mental aptitude which lent these events the significance they pos- sess when he describes them. To a man of genius they were Interesting ad- ventures, but to the dull perceptions of an ordinnry individual they would have been stale, everyday occurrences. —Schopenhauer. A Tinge of Suspicion. “That speaker always starts. off,” said Farmer Corntossel, “by ‘tellin’ what the country needs.” “Naturally and properly.” “I s'pose so.

According to Aunglo-Saxon law, ev- ery man’s life, inclading that of the king, was valued at a fixed price, and any one who took it could commute the offense Ly a money payment upon a fixed scale. The life of a peasant was reckoned to be worth” 200 shillings. that of a man of noble birth 1,200 shil- lings, and the killing of a king involved the regicide in a payment of 7,200 shil- lings. It has been pointed out that the heir to the throne could thus get rid of the existing occupant by murdering him and thereafter handing over the fine, according to the scale, to the ex: chequer, when his offense would be purged and his money would come back to himself, for in those days the govereign received all fines as personal perquisites. There is very little doubt that these rough means were practi- cally applied in the case of some rulers of England in the preconquest period —London Telegraph. Its Purpose. They stood in front of one of Wash- ington’s leading furniture stores. The windows were full of beautifully in- laid pieces of furniture, such things as are only within the reach of the rich and are ‘meaut to lend an additional touch to the already perfectly appoint- ed bhome. Among them was an after- noon tea table. It was a frail, deli- cately constructed piece on rollers and brought to miné an artistically gown. ed hostess serving tea to a select co terie, while the conversation dealt with nothing more heavy than the latest fiction and comic operas. With a long drawn out sigh the woman contem- plated it. The wman, following her gaze, saw it and was unimpressed. She hastened to explain. “That there is a tea table. It's just grand to use when you ain’t got no cook in the house and have folks in.”— Washington Star. A Bit Too Clever. Holman Hunt used to tell how a car- penter saved one of his best known pictures from a serious error. The man was doing some odd jobs about the house and was found frowning at “The Shadow of the Cross” in the studio—the picture in which Christ, who has been sawing a plank in the workshop, rises to his full height and stretches, bis shadow forming a cruci- fix. “Well?” asked the artist interroga- tively. “Don’t think much of it, mister,” was the blunt comment. “Why?" demanded Hunt, nmnsedv‘l but a trifle nettled. “Any one that can saw wood with- out making any sawdust is a sight clever'n any I ever seed,” was the answer. It was true—the floor was clean be- neath tbe bench! Seen In a Dréam. Mr. Hilprecht, professor of Assyriol- ogy in. the University of Pennsylvania In 1893, when puzzling over sketches of objects excavated at Babylon, learn- ed in a dream the solution to the diffi- culty:that confronted him. Two draw- ings represented fragments of agate in- scribed with characters. They were supposed to be bits of finger rings and, being apparently of different colors; ‘wese not closcly associated together by the professor. But in a dream he saw an Assyrian priest, who told him how the priests of the Temple of Bel, hav- ing received a ¢otive cylinder of agate from their king, were ordered to make earrings for their god. They made three by cutting up the cylinder, and the professor would find by fitting the fragments together that fthese were two of them. He did this and found that they gave a continuous descrip- tion.
