THEY' BORED HIM. And They Came Mighty Near Boring Him Again With Lead. 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 wasg 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 stot 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. Unfortu- 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 furnished this account of Wordsworth walking up and down his terrace composing: “Mr. Wordsworth went bumming Helped 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, I 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.” The Children Love Them Buckwheat Cakes made from pure buckwheat fresh ground makes a great breakfast for young and old these crisp winter mornings.

Wellington’s Plea In Favor of the Thames Embankment Site. Wellington “once declared that the most exciting moment of his life was not in any of his great battles, but that in which he had to forbid William IV. to attend a public banquet in the ¢ity during a time of great national excitement. Of the millions of people who every year see the English houses of parliament how many imagine that their position was determined by stra- tegic considerations? No one nowadays can think of the palace of Westmin- ster in any other position than that which it occupies. But when the old houses were burned down and the task of rebuildivg faced there was a propo- sition to establish them on or near the site of St. James’' palace. Wellington resolutely put down his foot on the proposal. The site suggested, its advocntes“ pointed out, would be better as regards centrality and convenience than any | other. But to the argument of the duke there could then be no answer. “With a vast and growing population, such as yours in London,” he said, “you must never make it possible that you can be surrounded. You must build your houses of parliament upon the river, so that the means of ingress and egress are safe and that the popu- lace cannot exact their demands by sitting down around you.” Sir William Fraser, in whose memoirs the story is recalled, mentioned it to Napoleon ITI. just before the death of the latter. “What wisdom!” he said. “What wis- dom!” And it set himn musing upon the different turn which the history of France might have taken if in other ways as great precautions had been observed in his own case.—St. James’ Gazette. SECRECY IN KRUPP’S. Employees Bound by Oath and Noth- ing Left to Chance. One of the first steps that a new employee at Krupp’s (the famous gun and armor factory of Germany) has to take is to bind himself to absolute secrecy as to what he sees or hears in the firm. But, this oath notwithstand- ing, nothing is left to chance, for ev- ery precaution is taken to prevent the employee from knowing anything more than is required for his own im- mediate work. TIn the offices all cor- respondence passes in locked cases. One official forwarding such a case to another writes the name of the ad- dressee on a slip of paper, which is inserted under a glass frame ingen- iously mounted in the case. Only on opening the case with lits special key can the address be removed, and it is therefore impossible for papers of im- portance to fall into wrong hands. In the drawing offices every scrap of paper is locked at night into fireproof and burglar proof safes, fitted with time locks. The employees have to change their clothes before entering and after leaving the office, and they take their meals in the works in the dining hall. In cases where the se- crets of the firm are inevitably shared by employees Krupp’s pays salaries such as would make any attempt at bribery ineffective. This reference is more particularly to the men in charge of the armor plate and steel manu- facturing process —Army and Navy Journal. Queer Eyes of a Queer Spider. The attus family of spiders, abound- ing in Java, have in addition to nu- merous smaller eyes a pair of large ones which have been called ‘“gig lamp” eyes. A specimen of the spider, captured near Buitenzorg, exhibits a remarkable power of changing the col- ‘When taken the eyes were dark brown like the body, but suddenly they changed to bright grass green. Soon afterward they turned back from green to brown, and this change of color was repeated several times in succession, apparently at the will of the creature. Whether this ae- tion on the part of this curious. spe- cles of spider is an effort to inspire terror in its enemy or whether it is an effect of its own terror is uncertain. Another singular fact is that the color of either one or both eyes could thus be changed at will.—Harper's Weekly. Ancient Gardens. The Egyptians were conversant with the art of landscape gardening, though they had to contend with the flatness of the land. Water, however, as an adjunct-was often called into play, for there was the inexhaustible Nile. We have three plans of their gardens, as the one found in the tomb of Meryleat Teli el Amaron, which gives us the perfect idea of how a grand garden of Egyptians reclining on chairs and fishing in these artificial lakes. Useless Speculation. “I often wonder,” an elderly wife said sadly one day to her husband, “whether all those vows and protesta- tions you made me during our court- ship were really true?” “Well, my dear,” the husband an- swered mildly, “what’s the difference ‘whether they were true or not, since | we both believed them?’—Washington Star.

SOCIAL DUTIES KEEP THEM BUSY Little Business Transacted at Governors’ Meeting, NO PLAN IS AGREED ON Employers’ Liability Discussed at Length in Open Conference, but Ac- tion Is Postponed Until Commissions Now Investigating the Subject Make Reports—Spring Lake, N. J., Select- ed for Next Meeting Place. Louisville, Ky., Dec. 2.—The time of the governors in attendance at the third annual - conference has been taken up to such an extent with so- cial features that little business has been transacted. Many of the governors would like to perfect organization &by electing offs cers and by giving the body a name. “The House of Governors” has been frequently mentioned as the proper name and this may be chosen. An executive session was held, at which the governors discussed issues of the day. At the open session general discus- sion of Governor Hadley’s address was taken up. He spoke on “Employers’ Liability and Workmen’s Compensa- tion.” - Various opinions were given, but each was to- the effect that existing laws on these subjects were inade- quate and that the states should care- fuilly revise them. Appalling death rates on railroads and in mines of this country were compared with the lower rate in European countries in discuss- ing the difference in laws of foreign nations and ours regarding the lia- bility of employers. Spring Lake, N. J., was chosen as the next meeting place of the confer- ence. New Jersey was the only state represented at the conference by a governor and a governor-elect. Followmmg a general discussion, in open conlerence, on the subject of em- ployers’ liability and workmen’s com- pensation act, a resolution in this con- nection, introduced by Governor Had- ley of Missouri, was adopted. It pro- vides that commissioners who are in- vestigating this matter in several states send a report of their findings to all governors. The governors indulged in a free dis- cussion of the subject, but no one ad- vanced any concrete plan to be fol- lowed, it being the sense of the meet- ing that it would be preferable to wait until reports from the commissioners are in hand. MAY OCCUPY ALDRICH'S SEAT La Follette Anxious to Quit the “Cher- okee Strip.” ‘Washington, Dec. 2.—Senator Rob- ert M. La Follette, arch enemy of Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, is report- [| ed to have filed a claim on the latter’s seat, which becomes vacant when Al- drich retires to private life. There is no fixed routine of distri- bution of senate seats. When they become vacant they go to the first senator who has filed a claim upon them. La Follette has been in the “Chero- kee strip” on the Democratic side of the senate ever since his election six years ago and he has let opportunity after opportunity slip to file upon a Republican seat. But now that his chief foe hag fallen he'is declared to have jumped at the chance of sitting in the seat of the former mighty one when the Sixty- second congress is called to order. TRIBUTE TO MARK TWAIN Many Notables Attend Memorial Meet. ing in New York. New York, Dec. 2.—The intellect, |] the power and the wealth of the land gathered at Carnegie hall to pay tribute to the memory of Mark Twain, whom the world loved because he made it laugh. p William Dean Howells presided Uncie Joe Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives, and Champ Clark, the/speaker that may be, spoke from the same platform. Dr. Henry Van Dyke of Princeton, Henry Watter- son, George W. Cable, Booth Tarking- ton, J.' Pierpont Morgan, John' Luther Long and many others were aimong those invited. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Academy of Arts and Letters. FATHER OF THE LINOTYPE James O. Clephane "Passes Away at Englewood, N. J. Englew6od, N. J.,, Dec. 2.—James Ogilvie Ciephane, widely known be- cause of his pioneer work in the type- writer and linotype industries, is dead at his home here following a stroke of apoplexy which attacked him a week ago. He was sixty-eight years old. " Although a lawyer Mr. Clephane de- voted most of his energies to developn ing the typewriter and typesetting ma chines and he has been called the “fa toer of the lynotype.” It was his en | couragement and finaneial support thai enabled Ottmar Mergenthaler to per fect the machine that bears the lat. ter's name. " The idea for the ma chine was furnished by Mr. Clephane. LR Luscious Tree-Ripened Fruit It is not sufficient to know that oranges are the most healthful of all fruits.
