The - The History of a Book.- Followling is the story of the first edi. tion of Fitzgerald's celebrated transla- tion of Omar Khayyam: The book was issued anonymously and found no buyers. Accordingly the author "went to Bernard Quaritch’s shop, dropped a heavy parcel of 200 coples of the “Rubaiyat” and sald, “Quaritch, I make you a present of these books.” The famous bookseller offered them first at half a crown, then at a shilling, and, again descending, at sixpence; but no boyers came. ' In despair he reduced the book to a penny and put-copies into a box outside his-door with a tick- et, “All these are 1 penny each.” At that price the pamphiet moved. In a few weeks the lot was sold, and in this ‘way one of the finest gems of English literature was dispersed among a not overdiscerning public. * The legend has it that Dante Gabriel Rossettl, Swinburne and Burton were among those who discovered the “hid- den treasure in the penny box.” Years passed, and the once despised volume rose in the market, and in 1898 Qua- ritch bought in for £21 a copy which forty years before he had sold for a penny.—London Spectator. Located the Bodies. As a means of ‘locating the bodles of four United States soldiers who were accidentally drowned in the Rio Grande recently an unusual experi- ment was tried and proved successful. A hat was thrown into the water at the point where the men ‘had last been seen and was followed downstream until, after traveling about five miles from the scene of the accident, it came to an eddy where it moved, about slow- 1y for some time. This gave the search- ers what they thought might be a clew, and, following a practice frequently used in searching for bodies, a charge of dynamite was exploded at the point where the progress of the hat had ceased. Immediately the bodies came to the surface. The explanation of the experiment is that the Rio Grande in this region is tortuous and has many eddies. The searchers rightly assumed that the bodies would be carried downstream until they came to an eddy, which in this instance was indicated by the re- tarded progress of the hat.—St. Louis Republic. Our First National Road. The first of our great national roads was the Cumberland road, which ran from the Potomac to the Mississippl. Starting from Cumberland, Md., it ran west through Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois -to ‘its ter- minal point at the Mississippi opposite St. Louis. It was built by the United States government under the supervi- sion of the war department. In order to secure funds for the constant repairs necessary congress passed a bill in 1822 ordering the establishment of turn- pikes, with gates and tolls, but Presi- dent Monroe vetoed the bill on the ground that congress had no power to pass such a sweeping measure of in- ternal improvement. Two years later he signed a somewhat similar bill, and the road received the needed appropria- tion. The last appropriation was made by congress in 1844. Parts of the old road are still in use. Europe’s Longest Dam. The largest dam in Europe is in Spain and is the result of American engineering. It is built across the chasm through which the Noguera Pal- laresa river flowed and is situated near the old fortified town of Talarn. Abut- ting on almost perpendicular cliffs, the dam is constructed of concrete and measures 330 feet in height and 700 feet in length. It forms an artificlal lake fifteen miles long and nearly four mfles wide. Its object is twofold—pro- duction of electric power and for irri- gating. The cement used in the con- struction of the dam was made on the spot from limestonie and marl found within a short distance and transport- ed by a temporary railroad. Package For Henry. “Yes, Henry and I certainly possess similar tastes!” exclaimed the adoring bride. “We are surely interested in the same things!” “Yes,” agreed Henry’s mother-in-law \grimily, “you certainly- are. - You care {more for dear Henry than for any one else in the world, and so does he!”— New York Times. He Made It “We.” It was tihe night of Lincoin’s first election, and the little frame home of the Lincolns in Springfield, I1l., was filled with friends and relatives, all eager for some news of the election results. The reports for awhile had been coming in early and favorable, but after awhile they began to be less promising. Mrs. Lincoln had been by her husband’s side all day. He now insisted that she retire. The crowd gradually began to dwindle. Then came the news that New York had been carried, followed immediately by the report that Lincoln had carried the country. The rest of the story would be better told by the great man himself. “When there was no longer any, doubt or reason for doubt,” he related afterward, “I went up to my bedroom and found my wife asleep. I gently touched her shoulder and said, ‘Mary! She made no answer. I spoke again, a little louder, saying, ‘Mary, Mary, we are elected!” "—Broaklyn Eagle. sl-nu at' Annapolis. For certain slang expressions used by cadets I am indebted to a member of the corps. From this future admiral I learn that a ‘bird” or “wazzo” is a man or boy; that a “pap sheet” is a re- port covering delinquencies and that to “hit the pap” is to be reported for de- linquency ; that “steam” is marine en- gineering and to be “bilged for juice” is to fail in examinations in electrical engineering; to get an “unsat” or un- satisfactory mark, or even a “zip” or “swabo,” which is a‘ zero. Cadets do not ‘escort girls to dances, but “drag” them; a girl is a “drag,” and a “heavy drag” or “brick” is an un- attractive girl who must be taken to a dance. A “sleuth” or “jimmylegs” is a night watchman, and to be “ragged” is to be caught. - Mess hall waiters are sometimes called “mokes,” while at other times the names of certain exglt- ed dignitaries of the navy department or of the academy are applied to them. —Julian Street in Collier’s Weekly. Why We Walk In Our Sleep. Roughly speaking, the mind is di- vided into two parts. One controls the actions of which we are conscious and the other those which we do uncon- gclously. In the latter class are such things as walking and breathing. So that the second part of the mind works equally as well whether its owner is asleep or awake. Wken the body or the other part of the mind is tired to the point of exhaustion or is harried by pain the second part is liable to be unduly active. Then it is that we are most likely to walk or talk in our sleep and have “nightmares.” And be- cause the acutely conscious part of the mind is dormant and not subject to fears the sleep walker frequently trav- erses dangerous places unhurt.—Den- ver News. Drift From Country to City.’ Some further ' statistics as to_ the drift of population in this country from the country to ‘the city were presented in a recent census bureau report. Fig- ures show that this drift has now cov- ered a period of a century and a quar- ter, or from 1790 to the present time, 1790 being the year in which the first census of population was taken. Since that time the drift has been practically uninterrupted. In 1790 cities were ex- tremely rare in this country. Only one had a population of more than 80,000. This was New York city, which had at } ¥ that time ' 33,131 inhabitants. Next came Philadelphia with 28,500, and then Boston with 18,320. In the en- tire country there were only 3,929,214 people—Literary Digest. Nature paints the best part of the picture, carves the best part of the statue, builds the best part of the house and speaks the best part of the oration —Emerson. Cowardly. Bounder—I took yow home the other night. Rounder—Yes, and then, you coward, you left me to face my wife alone. Price and Quality. “It is a mistake to ut eheup, in!e- rior food.” “It may be inreflm- my trtend, l'mt it's never cheap.”—Washington Star.
